The argument for Muhammad being named a successor rests on the belief that his close companions and followers were well-equipped to lead the Muslim community based on their understanding of his teachings and vision. This perspective suggests that a designated successor could have ensured continuity and unity within the early Islamic community, potentially preventing the subsequent divisions and conflicts. Additionally, a clear succession plan might have helped maintain the integrity of the faith and its practices. Ultimately, this debate highlights the complexities of leadership and authority in early Islam.

Branch of Islam that supported Ali Muhammad's son-in-law?

Shia Muslims believe that just as a prophet is appointed by God alone, only God has the prerogative to appoint the successor to his prophet. They believe God chose Ali to be Muhammad's successor, infallible, the first caliph (khalifa, head of state) of Islam. Muhammad, before his death, designated Ali as his successor.Ali was Muhammad's first cousin and closest living male relative as well as his son-in-law, having married Muhammad's daughter Fatimah.

Can you add a new name to be a trustee of a property that has been entrusted to some persons?

If property is owned in the name of a trustee of a trust, then the trust agreement controls. The person who established the trust should have created a trust agreement, and in that trust agreement it will state whom the initial trustee is and how successor trustees are named. So, check the trust agreement.


When a testator dies and the named executor does not want the duty how does he find a new executor?

The appointment of a named executor or replacement of an executor for any reason is under the jurisdiction of the probate court. The named executor can file a Declination if they don't want to accept the appointment and the court will appoint an alternate. The person who wishes to relinquish the office after appointment as the executor must file a motion with the court to be relieved of that duty and the court will appoint a successor. If the executor dies or becomes incapacitated the court will appoint a successor. If there has been misconduct or breach of duty by the executor the beneficiaries may petition for removal and appointment of a successor.

Would there have been a struggle for the caliphate if Muhammad had named a successor before death?

From the Shiite perspective, Mohammed did name a successor, 'Ali, and there was still a struggle. The struggle came from the fact that the other Muslims did not want a relative of Mohammed's (his nephew) to succeed him, but rather someone more capable as a leader. From the Sunni perspective, it is debatable. There are those who believe that Shoura (a council of tribal leaders electing a successor) was what would have been the proper way to proceed regardless of whether Mohammed had specifically chosen a successor or not. On the flip side, there are many Sunnis that would have seen Mohammed personally appointing a successor to be one more Hadith of the Prophet that should be respected and followed. From a Historical Perspective, it is more than likely. Whoever the successor to Mohammed would be, this person would be in charge of controlling all of the various Arabian tribes that were fighting each other for centuries before Mohammed united them under one religion and one banner. Wielding that kind of power would be very attractive to anyone close enough to Mohammed to have a chance at succeding him. It only took three decades after Mohammed's death to have a full-blown war between different Caliphal traditions when two of the three had no representation at the Shoura that elected Abu Bakr in 633 CE.
