Anwar: Then, how do you explain the pledge of allegiance given to the Prophet (PBUH)?

Hasan: The answer can put as the following:

· The pledge of allegiance that Muslims made to the Messenger (PBUH) was neither an inauguration nor recognition of his leadership. It was a commitment to obey him because he was sent by the Almighty Allah and he was already distinguished with leadership. So, they swore allegiance to emphasize their faith to his message.

· Pledge of Allegiance is a covenant between two people that demands commitment, loyalty and obedience to the person we are making this pledge to. Amir Al-Mu’menin (PBUH) asserts this fact in this Hadith: “However, you owe me loyalty to the allegiance, sincerity when present and absent, responding when I call you and obeying when I command you”.

· There are explicit Scripts on the prophethood of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and his leadership so much that the pledge of allegiance cannot stand a hinder before it.

Anwar: You look tired.

Hasan: Yes, let’s carry on our discussion tomorrow.
