Stages of discussion:
- When Allah appointed Chieftains and successors for Musa, how many of them does the aya mention were appointed? And what was their role in this world?
- When Abdullah Ibn Masud was asked about these ‘twelve’ what did he say Rasull Allah said regarding the ‘twelve’ successors after him?
- The Concept of Twelve Succussors or Twelve Amirs, or Twelve Caliphs, is it in Sunni Literature or no? If it is, where is it?
- Why didn’t Rasul Allah write the names of twelve Imams? Wouldn’t have this made so much easier for us or no?
- Why was there a rejections, or a lack of Knowledge, from Imam to Imam’s followers? And why did some of them did not reveal their knowledge of who the Imam is after them?
- Do we have any books from the times of the Imams that mention the Imam’s names? And if we do what are these books and how do they prove that the concept of twelve Imams was a prevalent concept during the lives of the Imams.
