Is Islamic History a controversial subject????
I am going with Islamic history as optional but I have learnt that the same is controvercial, in a sense, many topics,i.e, Hazrat Usman's Martyrdom, Hazrat Ali's election, rivalery b/w Hazrat Ali and Muwyia, origion of Shia sect and Fatimid's origion.
Foregoing in view, how should I attemp these queries/ questions. If came up in paper.To what extent should I refer to the Muslim and Western authors on these vague/ controvercial issues. Please convey me a good and assertive narration. |

For example the martyrdome of Hazrat Usman R.A .. Some people consider he was weak in implementing writ of government and let loose the kharijs .. Others believe he was too kind hearted to kill a Muslim and chose to be killed instead .. Similary when Hazrat Ali R.A came as a Caliph the problem he had to face was to apprehend killers of Usman R.A .. In such topics one must quote views of both sides and then agree or disgaree with one or the other view .. These questions do not ask at all to look for the mistakes of rightly guided Caliphs or to attack their strategies, rather they demand a neutral account of the problems they had to face in those situations .. Another medthod would be not to cover controversial parts of the syllabus .. And only focus on their policy, administration, expansion and impact of their rule etc .. I hope it clarifies the issue .. Regards ..

Stunner is right in saying that such questions are hardly ever asked in the paper. If at all, you find some questions invoking some historical controversy, you should either skip it (if you've the choice) or present both views objectively. This would probably save skin, even if the paper checker has some biases (can be Sunni/Shia), he should not punish you for merely narrating the historical records impersonally.
