I honestly never expected, that this or any other Pro-Shī`ī Outlet would actually accept my Research on such a Hotbed/Controversial-Segment of Islāmic-Histories. Especially as per myself being Non-Shī`ī: my Original-Expectation/Anticipation was for my Research to actually be dismissed…I wouldn’t have cared if it were for the Record. However, the Fact that my Religio-Historical Research was in fact picked-up by this Website which I’ve mentioned: it’s literally a Watershed-Moment for me personally. As well, it indicates Interreligio-Inclusion…something which hasn’t been championed between Muslims whom’re Non-Shī`ī & Shī`ī. They picked-up 2-Articles which I personally authored, as per the Subject of the Events that occured from the Assassination of `Uthmān ibn-`Affān (the 3rd-Khalīfah/Islāmic-Ruler in Islāmic-History [May Allah be pleased with them]) to the killing of al-Husayn ibn-`Alī (the Son&Brother of the 4th&5th-Khulafā’/Islāmic-Rulers:`Alī ibn-`Imrān & al-Hasan ibn`Alī [May Allah be pleased with them]) & the Maternal-Grandson of Muhammad (the Seal-Of-Nubuwwah/Prophethood [Peace be upon them]).

For me to have arrived at This-Point, to have any Pro-Shī`ī Publication cite/reference my Work quite honestly means a lot to me. It details that I can navigate through Various-Avenues, Different-Ahzāb (Religio-Sectarian Groups), etc. even if/when they dislike/disagree with that which I convey. By the way: the Web-Master/Owner of the Website which picked-up my Research literally mentioned on their Site, ironically, how much they disagreed with my Research. But, that’s fine…I’m actually OK with that: I actually respect those whom disagree with me.
It’s still surreal for me to be this fortunate, for them to break their own Religio-Sectarian Mold & to allow someone not of their Religio-Sectarian Ilk to have a Space/Place via their Platform. That’s a True-Sign of at-Tawādhi`/Humility&al-Balāghah/Maturity (2-Things which any/every Muslim is Religio-Required to possess/manifest), but Most-Muslims don’t have both of these nor want to have both either…as I always tell People: Apathy is worse than Ignorance. I view this as a Significant-Indication that my Research is respected&appreciated, and I’m very grateful to Allah for that.
