This is a general rule of thumb pertaining to the Islamic canon as a whole: it i s important to know the background in which a Quranic verse was revealed or a certain Hadith was said. For example, the Quranic verse “slay them wherever you find them” is often used by Orientalists to wrongfully make it appear as if Islam advocates the slaying of people wherever you find them all the time . Of course, if we look at when this verse was revealed, we find that it  was specifically revealed during a battle between the Muslims and the Quraish Mushriks; th is makes us realize that it is not a general ruling to slay people but rather it was a verse revealed in a specific situation. Likewise, the Hadith of Ghadir Khumm can only be understood in the context in which it was said: A group of soldiers were severely criticizing Ali ibn Abi Talib (    ا  ر) over a certain matter, and this news reached the Prophet (    ا ), who then said what he said in the Hadith of Ghadir Khumm. Like the Orientalists, the Shia propagandists attempt to remove this background context in which the Hadith was said in order to paint a totally different (and misleading) pi cture. The Prophet’s intention behind saying what he said at Ghadir Khumm was not at all to nominate Ali ( ﻋ   ا  ر) as Caliph but rather it was only to defend Ali (    ا  ر) against the slander being said against him. It is only by removing the background context that it is possible to render a Shia understanding of the text; it is for this reason that we should always remind our Shia brothers of the background context in which the Hadith of Ghadir Khumm was said. The Importance of Ghadir Khumm to the Shia The Shia claim that the Prophet (    ا ) divinely appointed Ali (   ر  ا) to be his successor at a place called Ghadir Khumm. Before we discuss the event of Ghadir Khumm with our Shia brothers, we should first define the parameters of such a debate. In other words, we should “set the stakes”: (1) If the Shia can prove their version of Ghadir Khumm, then definitely Ali (    ا  ر)  was divinely appointed by the Prophet (    ا ) and the Shia creed is correct. (2) If, however, the Sunnis disprove the idea that the Prophet (    ا ) appointed Ali (    ا  ر) at Ghadir Khumm, then our Shia brothers should be willing to accept the fact that Ali (    ا  ر) was never appointed at all by the Prophet (   ا  ) and therefore the entire Shia creed is invalid. The reason we need to make this very clear from the outset is that the Shia propagandists have this uncanny ability to move the goalposts whenever they lose a debate.
