Tragedy of Thursday & Sh.Dedu | The Prophet(S) Left a Power Vacuum? | Dr.Syed Ali Hur Kamoonpuri

The Tragedy of Thursday: Succession, Vacuums, and Prophetic Guidance An controversy recently erupted in the Arab world and shook the world of Islamic scholarship, taking it by storm, triggering an intellectual earthquake that forced many Muslims to rethink the legacy of the Prophet (Saww) and his succession. It began with a single, provocative claim by the celebrated Sunni Mauritanian scholar, Allamah Shaykh Muhammad Hassan Wald al-Dedu: that the Prophet (Saww) left the Ummah in a "constitutional vacuum," departing without leaving them with a written constitution, or a clear method for selecting leaders, or an appointed successor. While many sectarian Sunni and Salafi scholars took great offense at these statements, perceiving them as an insult to the Prophet’s (Saww) due to the implicit accusation of Taqsir (falling short in doing right by the Ummah) embedded in it, they could not hide the much more uncomfortable reality: that what the Shaykh said is the standard, default, classical Sunni belief since the start. Join our lead scholar, Dr. Syed Ali Hur Kamoonpuri, an expert in the earliest Islamic sources, as he gives his take on this issue: asking the fundemental critical question: if the Prophet (Saww) truly left the Ummah "leaderless and clueless" regarding political succession, was this his actual original plan, or was he blocked and thwarted from communicating his desired outcome? Enter the Tragedy of Thursday. In his very last days, the Prophet (Saww) made a final, golden offer to his companions: "Bring me a tablet and ink pot so that I may write for you a document by following which you will never ever go astray." It was the moment that could have changed the course of history forever, preventing the "six major calamities" that would later divert the Ummah from its path. But the pen never touched the paper. Instead of a document of guidance, there was a "hue and cry." In the room where the Messenger of Allah (Saww) lay dying, voices were raised in direct violation of the Quranic protocol. Accusations were made that the Prophet (Saww) was "talking nonsense" (yahjur) or "overcome by pain." The great companion, Ibn Abbas would later weep "tears like pearls" whenever he recalled that fateful Thursday: the day the Ummah was denied its written blueprint for the way forward. Why was the Prophet’s (Saww) final request blocked? What "agenda" did certain groups fear would be jeopardized if that document were written? And if the Prophet (Saww) knew this document would save us from wandering, why did he eventually leave it unwritten? The answers lie in the shadow of that missing document. To understand the vacuum that shaped the last 1,400 years, you must ponder over aspects of the tragedy that sectarian scholarship has often sought to suppress and sweep under the rug, but which Al-Islaah lays bare in this insightful and illumninating lecture.
