When Muhammad Met Ali
-
This is a fictious story, written/typed by my own hands..
A long time ago in a place far away,
A stranger came into a city of pagans in a middle of the desert, he start preaching in public saying
"O ye Arabs, your idols are false gods, they can hear nor see nothing. lest possess any power to answer to your prayer. Abandon them and listen to me. I will show you the path (deen) to the one true God who is all hearing, all seeing and all powerful!".Some of the pagans answer with wooing and mockery to this stranger. Although some of them dare to have a debate / dialog with this brave stranger. But in the end, rock and stones start flying toward the stranger. Because the pagans loves their idols so much and they are often quick to anger when someone dare to mock their gods nor beliefs.
The stranger think that this might not be a good time to continue preaching and he start to retreat for his own safety.
After he reach a safe distance with the angry mobs, he start taking his breath and try to calm himself down..Suddenly, he hears a voice..
"Yo Mister!"
He look upon the source of that voice. and he see.. standing in front of him...
a boy!.. a teenaged boy gazing him with curiosity."You know..." the boy said,
"I think you're right mister, those idols does not have any power nor they can see or hear anything".
With enthusiasm the boy continue stating his opinion..
"I've tried to tell my father and family about their silly idols, but no one takes my opinion seriously instead they warn me that I might earn the curse of the gods because of my bad sayings about them."The stranger is shocked by the saying of this pagan boy, he smiles and answered
"Really??.. Tell me boy... what is your name?"
The boy answers
"I'm Ali, Ali ibn Abi Talib, although I hate my last name, but that is my name".
(Abi Talib means Father of Talab, the moon God, http//www.pantheon.org/articles/t/talab.html )
"And I'm Muhammad, Muhammad ibn Abdullah, and I don't hate my last name and that is my name".
The stranger answered with a warm and friendly smile to the boy. And the boy reply to that smile with a big grin showing all of his teeth.."Come then mister.." answers the boy, " you must come and talk to my family, maybe they will listen to you since you're a grown up. And they will acknowledge that I'm right on my opinion about their silly idols".
"Allright then... show me your house.." answers the stranger with the same enthusiasm as the boy.And the boy walked together with the stranger to show him his house.
Back then, little did they knew that this is the beginning of a bonding relationship where the stranger and the boy is struggling together through hardship, persecution and wars up to the final victory of destroying all the idols inside the pagan's house of worship.PS
This pagan boy named Ali, would be the best suitor for the stranger's own daughter's hand in marriage right?
Their 'family bond' is actually started with a brotherhood in faith, and confirmed with a marriage.Again, this is a fictious story written / typed by my own hands..
Salam / Peace

Not wishing to sound rude, but is there any point to this fictious story?

The point is.. it is very easy to create a fictious story...
And when this story get passed down and my name is Imam Jaffar the prestigious ulema and I have a special relationship with the Sultan, the people will start consider my fictious story the whole truth and nothin' but the truth and the one who considered otherwise will be labeled as "Infidel".There are of course abundant of such stories such as Muhammad ibn Abdullah is a member of Quraish Tribe.. Muhammad encircling the Kaba, Muhammad receives the first revelation in Hira Cave and so on...
Salam / Peace

You cannot quash history by making your own stories up - many have attempted to do so in this forum.
I might as well re-write the entire history of humanity itself and use it to support the claim that all history as we know it is completely fictitous.
It's an incredibly weak argument and one that cannot be used to disprove the validity of the conventional history, that can only be done with facts, so if you want to try and change people's minds to whatever it is you want them to think, I suggest you return with the facts.
