Is psychological inclination and the love of reading extensively about our master Ali, more than the rest of the Companions—despite loving them all—considered a violation of the belief in the superiority of Abu Bakr, then Omar, then Othman over them?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

What was mentioned does not contradict the creed if it is believed that the order of superiority is: Abu Bakr, then Umar, then Uthman, then Ali. This is what has been settled upon by the People of Sunnah and Community (Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah). Your inclination to love Ali and read about him does not mean preferring him over others.
