IMAM ALI (ع) FOUGHT FOR THE INTERPRETATION OF THE QUR'AN

DID THE PROPHET (ص) ORDER ABU BAKR TO LEAD THE MUSLIMS IN PRAYER?

Imam Ali (peace be upon him) had a crucial role in preserving the true meaning of the Qur'an after Prophet Muhammad's (peace be and blessings be upon him and his family) martyrdom. Prophetic traditions indicate that Imam Ali (peace be upon him) would defend the Qur'an's interpretation as valiantly as the Prophet (peace be and blessings be upon him and his family) had defended its revelation.

Sunni Muslims traditionally believe that during the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him and his family) final illness, he appointed Abu Bakr to lead the congregational prayers. This event is often cited to support Abu Bakr's subsequent leadership. However, Shaykh al-Mufid, a prominent Shi'a scholar, challenges this narrative by mentioning crucial points that prove that this narrative is false.
