Alright, how do you respond to the fact that Ali himself claimed that Muhummad elected him to be his successor?

Do you think Nahjul Balagha is a forgery?


im not going to defend Shiism, because I think they have made a lot of fake traditions, like the infalliability of the Imams, that the fiver (Zaydi) Shias dont agree with.

but one thing they do get right, is that Ali WAS supposed to be the successor. Obviously, Ali still pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr to stop more schisms from happening within Islam

Kitab-Al Kafi
Nahj al-Balaghah

Also, Muhummad(pbuh) elected Ali as his successor, just like every other major Prophet had elected a successor.
Then Shias made up random doctrines like "Imams being infalliable" that was never taught by Ali.

So your best bet is just to call yourself a "Muslim" and not be associated with "sects"
