Saqifah - Also Known as "Saqifa Bani Saeda" where the usurpers gathered on the day of the Death of the Prophet Mohammed (AS)to appoint Abu Bakr as the Chaliph of the Prophet (SAS), even though the Prophet (SAS) had already designated Ali bin Abi Talib as his successor. The events of this day led to deep schisms in Islam and is widely believed to be the core reason for all the problems Islam has faced since then, including the tragic death of Husain bin Ali, the Prophet Mohammed's (SAS) grandson.
