This is ridiculous. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a forum for arguments and counter-arguments and countercounterarguments, thinly veiled by being written in the third-person. What this article should contain is a summary of the event, of the principal sources supporting it, and of its importance in Shia theology, not a debate. - Mustafaa 13:48, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK, ill try to edit to you satisfaction

Peace!

Ill add this later:

Wilfred Madelung makes the following observation on the verse of purification: "Who are the 'people of the house' here? The pronoun referring to them is in the masculine plural, while the preceding part of the verse is in the feminine plural. This change of gender has evidently contributed to the birth of various accounts of a legendary character, attaching the latter part of the verse to the five People of the Mantle (ahl al-kisā'): Muhammad, 'Ali, Fātima, Hasan and Husayn. In spite of the obvious Shí'ite significance, the great majority of the reports quoted by al-Tabari in his commentary on this verse support this interpretation." Madelung, The Succession to Muhammad, p. 14-15.[1] --Striver 06:44, 12 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Why would you present this as a page considering "both sides" if your view and coverage of the Sunni perspective is so tainted. Don't argue this point, just read some of your writings, and you'll understand. I feel sorry for you for misrepresenting 90+% of this Ummah.
