If you can, please support Al Muqaddimah financially: www.Patreon.com/AlMuqaddimah Sorry about the lighting. I know it's distracting but I don't have much experience with recording videos.
wanna highlight somethings: 1) get your stuff right. there's alot of "according some sources", "wahtever that means" and "not sure". there is a subject in islamic studies called "study of names and personalities". if you find some narration in a source find about its authencity by confirming chain of narrators. 2) caliph is combination of two: i) moral and religious sanctity ii) secular authority. 3) legality of muavia(ra) rule is not only contested but outright rejected by both shia and sunni sources. 4) you portrayed ali(ra) as weak kind of administrator which is wrong. he'd been advisor and administrator for all 3 rushdins in medina. he faced alot harder circumstances than muavia(ra), he didn't fight 3 battles one after the other.

@@AlMuqaddimahYT. How much of your presentation is found in 7th century/early 8th century CE sources? I’d love to access them! Thanks for your hard work…
This is the first (somewhat) positive account I’ve heard of Mu’awiyah’s life, but having heard the story I think I can understand this point of view! Thank you for another fascinating and well-researched video.
Once again, I want to emphasize that your perspective in your narrations are truly historical, without any theological influence. This makes your channel an invaluable resource for history enthusiasts.
BS. His neutral point of view on this issue can only exist if he takes into account the writings of sunni theologians. Neutral western assessments, or just neutral assessments in general, cant allow for this positive portrayal of Muawiyah.
@@Pakilla64yes actually, they’re based on great historian writings too, the same ones that Sunnis use (yet try to rationalize with their positive perspective of almost all sahaba anyway)
Nice video. Just some feed bacK: I think I prefer the usual animations that you usually do as opposed to this new format. I find the animations, maps etc. much more engaging.
Narrated Abu Hurairah: that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Rejoice, 'Ammar, the transgressing party shall kill you." Grade: Sahih (Darussalam) Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3800 In-book reference : Book 49, Hadith 200 English translation : Vol. 1, Book 46, Hadith 3800
@@tabishshafi1959 Each of the two horsemen who had assisted Abul Ghadiya in killing ‘Ammar were trying to take from Mu'awiya the prize which had been fixed for the head of ‘Ammar. 'Amr As said to both of them: "You two are fighting for the Fire of Hell and nothing else! I have heard the Prophet (S) saying: "One who kills ‘Ammar and one who takes his clothes off his body will both go to Hell!" Mu'awiya interrupted Amr As and said in a reproachful tone:
“What you are saying is a dangerous jest. These two persons are fighting on our side and you are telling them that both of them will go to Hell!"
Amr said: “I swear by Allah that this is a fact and you also know it. I wish that I had died twenty years earlier than today.”
I think the real moral is that Muawiyah's accession simply served to shock people, then and now, out of the conception that the rightful party will be victorious, victory belonged to the party who has the elements of victory (like political accumen and strategy) Sort of what we felt when Ned Stark died.
I respect your honesty in admitting that Yazid is responsible for the death of Hussain ibn Ali instead of trying to duck and weave it. And Im surprised to see how you viewed Yazid but I want you to keep in Mu'awiyah was the one who raised a monster like this and that should be acknowledged. Please make a video about Yazid and his actions with Karbala as well as what he did in Madinah and Mecca
The sons are not their fathers. Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr was one of the alleged killers of Uthman. Muwawiyah had several children. One of them turning out to be a sociopath, not really crazy. Happens.
I agree but having Yazid close to him growing up and then handing off the keys to the Ummah to him... Muawiyah has some responsibility over what happened in the following years. Just saying. Im not even Shia no more (by todays standards of "Shia") but I can acknowledge the facts and look at history rationally. @@jamieammar6131
Will you ever make a video on the deccan sultanates? Very interesting part of history it would especially be beautiful to watch with your editing style
Another important point ☝️ which you have raised that is that Hussain ibn Ali didn't had supporters but the fact is imam Hussain was the cheif of banu Hashim tribe one of the wealthiest clan of hejaz and several tribes of iraq and hejaz supported imam Hussain only. Hussain stood up for the re establishment of the rashidun Caliphate. And rashidun Caliphate was Caliphate were caliphs were elected by a higher Advisory committee. Muawiyah carried out the development works for the Syrian people because it was his power base and he especially ignored iraq and hejaz and was involved in the killing of notable companions of the prophet Muhammad. His reign was peaceful just because of imam Hasan's peace treaty with him .
Uthman was chosen over Ali (as) because Ali (as) rejected to rule the way Umar and Abu Bakr ruled. Where do you come up with Hussain (as) ibn Ali wanted to rule like the previous caliphs?
@@ALI-om2re When I have told Hussain ibn Ali wanted to rule. Syawish said that Hussain didn't had supporters. I was telling him the fact that he had supporters. Around 25,000 people in kufa gave their alligience to imam Hussain and several people from other parts of the state also supported imam Hussain. But as curfew was imposed by ubaydullah ibn ziyad in kufa the things went wrong.
@@mdarquamali1484 what I’m trying to say is Ahlul-Bayt (as) at its core didn’t believe in the Caliphate of the first three caliphs as it’s well documented. So Hussain ibn Ali (as) wasn’t trying to re-establish that system. And of course I’m Shia and your probably Sunni so we have our different views but I’ve never seen a Sunni say that Hussain (as) wanted to establish that system of caliphate in it self or any proof being provided for that. Anyways there’s so much more I want to add but gotta go to a majlis .. take care
Narrated `Ikrima: that Ibn `Abbas told him and `Ali bin `Abdullah to go to Abu Sa`id and listen to some of his narrations; So they both went (and saw) Abu Sa`id and his brother irrigating a garden belonging to them. When he saw them, he came up to them and sat down with his legs drawn up and wrapped in his garment and said, "(During the construction of the mosque of the Prophet) we carried the adobe of the mosque, one brick at a time while `Ammar used to carry two at a time. The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by `Ammar and removed the dust off his head and said, "May Allah be merciful to `Ammar. He will be killed by a rebellious aggressive group. `Ammar will invite them to (obey) Allah and they will invite him to the (Hell) fire."

shia detected - you blame Muawiyah R.A for a single Umayyad's action. And then you whine when Non-Muslims judge Islam based on few bad Muslims. The hypocrisy. May Allah guide you shias
In addition, At Tabari reported Muawiyah 1)converted al Fadak into private property and gifted it to Marwan bin Hakam when he was appointed wali of Al Madinah, this after Khulafa Rashidoon kept it as sadaqah; 2)he abandoned the Sunnah of ruling from the masjid for ruling from palaces as Christians did; 3)he appointed and relied upon Christian Arabs especially Banu Kalb despite them fighting against Islam; 4)he cut pensions to veterans of alMadinah to force them to sell properties which he then bought, making Muawiyah the richest landowner in alMadinah. Muawiyah took the advise of Christians and built the palace at Sinna Naba on the south shore of Galilee, on the road to Damashq.
dude, PLEASE keep making the content you make, i know it probably takes a hell ton of effort but it's garaunteed that you'll get hella popular some day, these videos are so underrated
What's a Sunni Islam? How is that difference then other Islam, I thought Islam is same, both worship same god and consider prophet Muhammad (saw) as their prophet.
@@Foshoo1 Yes but after the Prophet (s) passed away, the community leaned on certain concepts which ultimately created a big enough wedge (lots of blood) that crystallized into different sects.
Muawiyah I became caliph less than 30 years following the death of The Messenger of God; prophet Muhammad (Muawiyah's brother in law) and very shortly after the reign of the four "rightly guided" (Rashidun) caliphs. Although many believe that Muawiyah I was considered to be lacking in the justice and piety of the Rashidun, Muawiyah was also the first caliph whose name appeared on coins, inscriptions, or documents of the nascent Islamic empire. Anyway I always love his quote below: "I never use my sword when the lash suffices, nor the lash when my tongue is enough." _Muawiyah ibn abi Sufyan. Thanks for the review brother Syawish, very well-presented! ❤
People were dissatisfied with his reign except the people of Syria. The people didn't revolted during his reign was because there was a clause in Hasan Muawiyah peace treaty that Muawiyah will leave matter of appointment of the news Caliph in the hands of the consultative assembly of Ansar and muhajirun. But he appointed his son. All the clauses of that treaty were violated and people were looking for an imam who would overthrow this corrupt regime. That's why people from hejaz and iraq reguraly visted imam Hussain. And as a result after his death people revolted and at the end which led to the establishment of Abdullah ibn zubair s' Caliphate.
If people of Hejaz supported Hussien then why did he had to go to Iraq for their support? Do you think we are fools here? Read about Arab and Islamic history very well before talking nonsense.
Muawiyah looked and saw that choosing his son woudlve been best due to certain reasons. he thought that if he didnt do that there will be fitnah and fitnah is worse than death
Wow! Thank you, Brother Syawish. I can't wait for your video of Abdul Malik ibn Marwan including his controversial general, Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf. Salam from Indonesia 🇮🇩

*Sigh* People still forget that Ali was the last rightly guided Khalif amongst sunni's, and when he was still alive Mu'awiya was a rebel who fought against the 4th rightly guided Khalif, so think about that when you mock Shia's for the support of Ali and their hatred of Mu'awiya if you are sunni, By mocking them, you deny Ali being the 4th rightly guided Khalif by extention and insult your ancestors and the religion of Islam itself. This fight was a tragedy.
I rarely give thumbs up, but this video is an exception, a nice historical perspective and those citations are really good for us who wants to know more
Every time I watch your videos, I'm impressed by the amount of information you bring out and the detail you get into. This is currently my favourite channel for Islamic history (and the history of Islam!).
@shahriar4706 for example: our religion is human but our history is divine. can we say religion is divine when it was fabricated by human? does that makes us human divine? who are we?
If you will watch Christian Prince and his debates with muslims you will see that islam is manmade religion. He proves that with islamic sources, such as the sunnah and hadiths within it.
How you explained the whole scenario during the civil war and succession of Yazid was brilliant. Instead pf going into individual narrations which might be biased or according to somebody's own perception and perspective, you covered the topic with insight. Thanks to you and thanks to Ibn e Khuldun for writing the masterpiece. I think to solve, it would be great if somebody having expertise in knowledge of narrations, review the individual narrations about them. And if this work has been done, it is needed to be publicized. You are doing great work by the way.
Bruh no one gonna talk about the sudden 'Acre, Israel' that popped up at 6:46? it's called Akka, Palestine. I expect nothing less but accuracy and responsibility towards the Palestinian cause from a channel like this.
I thought Ali protecting or not punishing Uthman's assassins didn't sound right, so looked it up and apparently he was killed by a mob of thousands of people. I think you could've gone into a bit more detail there. It seems important.
When i was young we were taught that the rulers of that time were all 100% perfect saints without committing any crimes. What i love about your videos is that you show the good, the bad, and the ugly of that period. Keep up the great work
EVERYONE IS SAINT AS THEY'RE THE COMPANIONS OF THE PROPHET WHO HAVE SEEN THE PROPHET IN THE LIFE. THEIR DIFFERENCES WILL BE RESOLVED ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT. AIN'T NEED TO INVOLVE MUCH ON THEIR DISAGREEMENTS .
I Just don’t understand why you would release this video today. Knowing it would cause divisive action and separate people. It’s not right and honestly makes me rethink how accurate and unbiased your other videos are. I’m saying this as someone who is not shia. Sometimes it’s better to just be respectful then to divide a community for viewership
He is doing this for views despite knowing the fact tha Muawiyah's reign was corrupt and he killed several notable companion of the prophet of Islam. And these things are mentioned in the main stream hadith books.
What Abubakr and Omar achieved as leaders after the death of Prophet SAW when almost whole of Arabia apostatized was extraordinary remarkable. Ali as compare to the two aforementioned Caliphs was not politically capable and his failure in handling successfully the post Othman era which was far less challenging than the period Abubakr inherited is a testimony to the capabilities of Abubakr & Omar. Omar was the chief advisor and architect behind every decision Abubakr made during his Caliphate. Caliphate in Islam is decided by people, and there was no way Ali could have got elected above Abubakr & Omar, though Ali had to his advantage the blood relationship to Prophet and Prophet’s only surviving daughter (Fatima) was his wife. Ali himself was a remarkable person in his own way but the two closest advisors to Prophet and the two most respectable men after Prophet and the two who were groomed to lead after Prophet, the two who had acceptability among not just Prophet’s Companions but around Arabia were none but Abubakr and Omar. Even during Prophets life there are many instances that showed their special place… in the battle of Uhud, if one recalls the dialogue between Abi-Sufyan & Muslims, he enquired about Prophet (he was confirming about the rumor that Prophet has been martyred) & immediately after Prophet he asked about Abubakr & Omar? That shows the hierarchy among Muslims, even Kuffar Quraish knew the importance of Abubakr and Omar. And finally, when Al-Abbas the Prophet’s uncle suggested Ali to get anything in favor for himself as Prophet might not survive this illness, Ali wasn’t confident & refused to go to Prophet to seek for his nomination for leadership position (Caliph). Ali said that Prophet’s refusal to appoint him may take away any little chance he may have in future to assume or to get elected/ appointed as a Caliph. In summary; Ali had all the credentials to be first Caliph like all other very senior Companions had, but he wasn’t the best for this job in the eyes of them while Abubakr & Omar were still alive. Who are we now after 1450 years to judge the decisions made by Prophet’s Companions and specially when their decisions (of appointing Abubakr & later Omar) were the most successful of decisions in human history!
The caliph was never chosen by the people. They were either chosen by a small group or designated by the reigning caliph. U r making up a rule that never existed. The fact is that there was a question of succession. The companions didn't even agree that there should be one successor. Some Ansari argued that there should be one for them and another for the muhajirun. Ali's claim was that he had been designated by the Prophet (sas) so the opinion of the companions would have been irrelevant anyway. It's useless to argue the counterfactual that Ali would have been a worse caliph than Abu Bakr as if u know how Ali would have done. Isn't that knowledge that only belongs to Allah? All I say is that if Ali could accept (by not rebelling) the authority of the first three caliph, then who am I to raise an issue now?
@@skepticalbaby7300 Ali never claimed he was designated by Prophet and if that were the case he would never have agreed and accepted his predecessors and wouldn’t have served under them. And we suggesting such a thing which he never claimed is a sin. And the hundreds & thousands of Companions who believed in the last Prophet & Quran and fought and died for him would ever have accepted anything short of Ali’s Caliphate IF prophet had nominated him. We tarnish the Iman of all Companions by creating a lie that never existed. The Caliphs were not elected by people directly as the elections are conducted today but consultations were done with all parties among Sabiqoon Al Awwaloon Minal Muhajiroon & Ansar and they all were agreed upon by vas majority. If any one person whom Prophet indirectly suggested was Abubakr as he didn’t allowed anyone else to lead prayers except him. Ali had the desire and there is nothing wrong and he knew that his chances were slim. And it was he who pushed the name of Omar as second Caliph. Ali got his chance though the situation was challenging and he made it tough by his certain decisions and he wasn’t politically successful. The humongous challenges Abubakr faced when he assumed the office of Caliphate was far much tougher & challenging and every decision he took was successful to an extent that he & later Omar became the standard on which all the later Islamic rulers were measured. It is not that Ali didn’t get a chance, he got it and he is considered the rightly guided Caliph. Though his political decisions at times questionable but his Iman, Taqwa, Tawakkul, ILM, ADL…. are among the best and he belongs to highest echelons of the Companions. Your conclusion said it all. Ali didn’t rebel because he was never nominated by Prophet and none was nominated. He served under the three predecessors with integrity and it was due to their sacrifice and success we are Muslims today! Who are we to question today who should have been the first Caliph while we live in a time with enough challenges of our own and we are struggling to survive let alone perform!
@omerasadshaik6426 The designation in question is that of ghadeer khumm. And Ali did refer to it after his ascension to be Khalifa. However, the sahabah differed on whether it was a designation of succession as they would differ on many things. It is not a question of emaan, but reasonable differences in interpretation. Besides, it is not necessary for Ali to have made the claim. Abu Bakr never stated his claim to the Khalifa. Umar pressed Abu Bakr's case. Will u now say that Abu Bakr's claim to the Khalifa is non-historical because he never expressed the claim? Ur history is incorrect. All of the muhajirun were not at saqifah. The reliable reports only confirm that Abu Bakr, Umar, and Abu Ubaydah were there. We know this because the Banu Hashim refused to accept the result and Umar went through Medina to get their oath of allegience. If everyone was there, then why would he have to go through Medina? There was no vote on candidates. Umar simply grabbed Abu Bakr's hand, pledged allegiance, and encouraged others to follow. That is not an election with competing candidates. And even if u term it an election, ur claim that it is a rule if false because neither Abu Bakr nor Umar repeated the process. Indeed, Umar called Saqifa a "falta" meaning a rushed, ill-conceived event. And that is why it was not repeated. And u are wrong that Abu bakr was the only one the Prophet (sas) ever designated to lead the prayer. Numerous others had been designated to lead the prayer in the past. Will u now argue that they were designated by the Prophet (sas)? That's ridiculous. In your effort to explain why the Ummah was correct in the selection of Abu Bakr and Umar, u disparage Ali. U lift up Abu Bakr and Umar, but tear down Ali. Why? U have repeatedly stated that such and such remarks denigrate the Sahabah. But u are the one highlighting Ali's flaws and claiming that he could never do this or that. U are the one ranking the Sahabah and placing one over the other 1400 years after the fact. It is divisive and u should really examine why u feel it is necessary.
This man stripped Islam of its sole. Changed hadeeth to fit his imperial ambitions, and ruled Dae$s style, profiteering from war and carnage. The word Caliph means successor to the prophet leading in accordance with Islamic principles. This man was not principled. He was a machiavellian politician, but not machiavellian enough to create a sustainable kingdom. Machiavellianism isn't Islamic, the prophet wasn't machiavellian and this man wasn't a caliph to the prophet. Why glorify a man because he built am empire? It wasn't Islam's objective to create an empire. Islam spread organically throughout southeast Asia when decent peaceful Arabs visited for trade and showed a good example to their hosts. The right Caliph to the prophet would have done the same.
Your analysis was extremely biased. You stated that the assassin of Uthman gave the Caliphate to Ali but the fact according to Islamic hadith books is that Ali was elected by the shura ( consultative assembly) which was composed of senior companions of prophet Muhammad. And this shura was responsible for the election of uthman also. You told there are no proper historical records about battle of siffin etc but the fact is there are chapters in hadith books 📚 like musanaf of imam ibn abi shyiba on battle of siffin etc. You also said that Ali didn't had any military experience but the fact according to Islamic hadith books 📚 Ali played decisive in battle of Khyber, battle of badr, battle of trench, battle of zat ul salasil and Ali was also the cheif justice during Caliph Umar's reign. You even ignored the clauses of the peace treaty which was signed between Muawiyah and Hasan ibn Ali. This analysis of yours was totally biased.

A well researched video. Khalid bin Walid Bannu Maghzum, who was chiefly responsible for consolidating & expanding early post Prophet Islamic rule through persistent warfare, is not however mentioned in the video. Ma'aviya undoubtedly proved himself to be a great administrator, skillful negotiator and most resilient trouble shooter. No other person could have survived for that long under the most turbulent time of the Islamic empire. Without him Islamic empire would have disintegrated, dissolved, fragmented & imploded from within during 660s.
Unfortunately, on the day of Ashura,, you are heaping praise on the father of Yazid lanatullah. Shame. Unsubscribing. Lanat on Muwaiyah too who was never the rightful Caliph.
In the most simplest terms we can say: He was a good general and politician but betrayed his values for his family. Like when we really look at all the opportunities there were to avoid so much conflict, his stance boils down to him being loyal and needing the support of his clan. He fell back on pre-Islamic values rather than embrace the egalitarian structure. Honestly, it seems if he just worked with Ali (RA) and basically said 'Ok, Uthman (RA) messed up A LOT, but he is a Caliph, so just for the obligation to our government alone we have to rectify this' (And of course it would be on Ali to actually decide to agree) and support him politically while keeping his family under close watch, things could've looked very different. Bc in the end, regardless of hidden intentions or personality, everything that matters about him as a person is known through his actions. And his actions were f*cked up
Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan The author of this book is the American researcher Stephen Humphreys. He is a professor at the University of California, USA. His interests focus on Islamic studies and the history of the Middle East. He is also specialized in studying the relationship between religion and politics in the Islamic world. In this new book, the author talks about one of the most important figures in history. Arab Islamic: Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan.
the Umayyad Caliphate coincides with modern day Syria due to the capital being at Damascus. similar to the Abbasid Caliphate coinciding with modern Iraq due to Baghdad being it's capital.
Those regions were the respective centers of power for both regimes, but the polities being ruled were much larger--the Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates were indeed empires.
I love that fundamentalists are angry the first generation Muslim with the Christian wife and majority Christian population (in Egypt, the Levant, and parts of Mesopotamia and Arabia anyways) whose prophet taught that Christians were a people of his book...that that guy was too friendly towards Christians. Even if Christians had been a tiny minority, shouldn't he have been friendly towards them anyways? Isn't that supposed to be built into Islam?

What’s the difference if muawya wants to make his own son the caliphate and Ali wants to make his son the caliphate , it’s just one succeeded, and let’s not forget the prophet told us that the prophethood caliphate will be 30 years

Found your channel like a week ago, and ive been listening and listening. Very interesting, i just have to keep up with all the names thrown out in the videos lol
Glad you found it. Yeah, the names are tough to keep track of. Which is why I sometimes omit names of figures but people get mad if I don't mention certain figures. Anyhow, that's why I put the names on the screen.
A minor point, you keep referring to the modern equivalent of regions incorrectly, e.g. "Acre, Israel". Please use the "Acre, Occupied Palestine" instead. Thanks
Similar analysis as Dr Israr Ahmed, Great work. Allah gets his work done in strange ways incomprehensible to the mortals. Also we need to keep history separate from Religion
I already had my doubts about your content for a long time now, and Alhamdulillah God has made your biases clear to everyone. Your heart must really be buried in rust to choose such a time for uploading this spiteful video. Hussain's sacrifice is an inspiration for Sunnis as much as it is for the Shia. To take the spotlight away from him on Ashura by glorifying a usurper speaks to the absence of any sort of warmth in your heart for the Prophet's family.

Karbala 🚩 I've been brought up as a sunni and here is my opinion on The Story Of Karbala To understand the story you'll have to go back to time of usman r.a. Usman was appointed as khalifa in old age and he was soft towards his relatives, his notorious tribe banu umaiya, one of his governor in kufa used to lead salah while being drunk, entertaining people with magician jew in masjid and many other faults in his governors, protesters surrounded him in madina for being so soft on these criminals, in result of this protest, few extremists end up killing the caliph. Ali was appointed as the next caliph and Muawiya took control of syria without the permission of Ali. He gathered protesters against Ali to take revenge for usman, but it was just a fake reason to take over the throne. it is the manner of protest that protesters should gather up and march towards capital city, Madina was the capital city but they took people to basra with weapons on them. Ali and Muaviya had 2 wars and Ali won both of them. (Siffeen & jamal) System was ruined and caliphate ended with the blood of more thanhundred thousand companions 3 killers were released by khawarij at the time of fajr to assassinate Ali, Muawiya, and amr Ali was killed in sujood, muaviya didn't come for prayer that day and amr survived the attack Now the caliph is gone and people chose his son Hassan to continue caliphate Hassan and Muaviya Hassan came with 40k soldiers against muaviya. Amr ibne aas informed muaviya we won't survive against hassan. Banu umaiya offered truce and according to chapter anfal القرآن If your enemy offer truce even in the middle of war, accept it. Hassan gave them free hand by handing over caliphate ( usman ka badla lena tha, ab badhsahat de rha hun, le k btao ) Hassan accepted truce on 5 conditions. -1 muaviya will run his kingdom on the orders of Allah and teachings of prophets -2 soldiers of Ali won't be harmed -3 muaviya will leave ummat on their own decision to chose their next ruler, but muaviya appointed his son yazeed 4 years before his death 4- ahle baet will get humus 5- cursing on Ali will be stopped Only 4th condition was accepted, rest of the conditions were badly ruined. Yazeed and Hussain ع Hussain ع held himself back all these 20 years just because of the agreement of hassan and Muaviya, the day hassan was poisoned, the agreement was fully broken plus when yazeed was appointed as a next ruler. There was no need to have a monarch kingship when the nephew of prophet is still alive. People of kufa wrote a letter to Hussain ع summoning him for a war against yazeed. Hussain was on his way, yazeed was informed, he removed nouman ibne bashir, a sahabi, from his governor post of kufa and sent ubaidullah ibne ziyad, a cruel governor. He entered the city kufa at midnight appearing to be hussain ع. People welcomed him and he ordered his soldiers to seize the city, poeple of kufa were Deceived and many were killed. Stopped Hussain ع and his family in a scorching desert and killed each one of them one by one after torturing them with thirst and hunger. (Few escaped and came to our sindh) Sunni scholars hide all this just to save monarchy loving father and son. Banu ummaya gained lands but lost iman. Good era of muslims (wealth) but downfall of islam.

It's kind of sad that the day you chose to praise Muawiyah is the same day when his son massacred the progeny of the Holy Prophet on the plains of Karbala. The Prophet said that whoever harbors "Bughz" in their heart against the Ahlulbayt will face the fires of hell. Praising those who held "Bughz" towards the Ahlulbayt is nothing short of shameful. You might claim to have no "Bughz" against the Ahlulbayt, but your actions speak otherwise.
Narrated `Ikrima: Ibn `Abbas said to me and to his son `Ali, "Go to Abu Sa`id and listen to what he narrates." So we went and found him in a garden looking after it. He picked up his Rida', wore it and sat down and started narrating till the topic of the construction of the mosque reached. He said, "We were carrying one adobe at a time while `Ammar was carrying two. The Prophet (ﷺ) saw him and started removing the dust from his body and said, "May Allah be Merciful to `Ammar. He will be inviting them (i.e. his murderers, the rebellious group) to Paradise and they will invite him to Hell-fire." `Ammar said, "I seek refuge with Allah from affliction."

I don't know what kind of stuff you will present in this video but Islamic authentic hadith books gives us a clear picture that he was a corrupt leader who destroyed the Caliphate and in his rule was peaceful just because of Sulh e Hasan. Otherwise poverty was there, several notable companion of the prophet of God were killed by him like hujr ibn Adi iraqi people were kept under high surveillance and several sanctions were imposed on them . There was high poverty during his rule. Muawiyah purchased the lands in taif and employed Syrian people there rather than employing hejazi people. All development activities he did was for Syrian population because it was a power centre of his rule and it was important for him to keep them happy. In sahih Muslim there is a hadith also that Muawiyah used to tell to kill the innocent and earn money 💰 by following unlawful ways.
You did not cite any authentic hadith in this delusional comment. You're just spewing a bunch of baseless slander against a beloved companion of the Prophet ﷺ, for God's Sake! I advise you to repent from your rafida ways...

@@realstudioabc3878 hahaha you boomer go and read the Hadis regarding Gadee e khun. "Man kunto mawla fahaza Ali Mawla" now even if this mawla means as a close friend or a leader i dont mind il call him mawla. But wahabis like to take this mawla and use it as a synonym to GOD nauzubillah. And as far as AS is concerned he is from the Ahle bayt and even Imam Bukhari RA has used AS for mawla ali and Imam Hussain go and read the sahih hadees. And as far as muaviya is concerned he isnt one of the Ashra Mubashra of which Mawla Ali is a part of. Hazrat Muaviya only became a Muslim when Makkah was won back from the kuffars. And were given a choice of either to become a Muslim or to be killed. On the other hand Ali is the person who was the first male to become a Muslim when he was a child. He was the closest to the prophet in his companions. He was the one who stood with the prophet in badr, uhud not against him like Muaviya. And also I ain't a Shia i am a Muslim, a follower of Muhammad SAW and his Ahle bayt and his rightly guided Caliphs and sahabas not the one's who went against his teachings of Islam.
The most stupidest comment on this thread. Ali literally was the hero in every battle. List of accolades impeccable. You are literally named after the killer of the prophets family. Go sit down daesh.
Ali had never lead an army? Yet won every single war he fought? This lecture doesn’t put Imam Ali in a good light and yet makes Muwaviyah look decent? This man needs to rectify his knowledge… very misleading. Little kids like him should learn hard and properly before they vocalise their incorrect knowledge…. Muslims are exposed to so much incorrect information. May Allah gives us the correct knowledge and guide us to the right path of Islam.

A well researched report, claiming the important victories that established Islam. That Muabiah didn't resort to extravaganza and took the best way out of a problem, was typical of Syrian diplomacy, saving revenue to fight the Christians using Christian sailors, very cunning and earned himself the respect of the historians. His victory in the naval warfare against Constantine was praise worthy. His merciless elimination of enemy is forgivable and a mark of a great statesman. That Ali might have made mistake is apparent from the role played by Aesha.
Your Muqaddimah in favor of muawiyah is weak. Calling him Great is laughable. There is no doubt he won first fitna but what followed after him? his legacy is second fitna which was far more bloody than the first one. He was Robert baratheon of game of thrones after him followed clash of kings and after Muawiyah followed clash of caliphs. I think there were four caliphs fighting each other in second fitna. If there is any ummayad caliph to be called great will be Abd Al Malik ibn marwan.

Hi.
No thank you.
wanna highlight somethings:
1) get your stuff right. there's alot of "according some sources", "wahtever that means" and "not sure". there is a subject in islamic studies called "study of names and personalities". if you find some narration in a source find about its authencity by confirming chain of narrators.
2) caliph is combination of two: i) moral and religious sanctity ii) secular authority.
3) legality of muavia(ra) rule is not only contested but outright rejected by both shia and sunni sources.
4) you portrayed ali(ra) as weak kind of administrator which is wrong. he'd been advisor and administrator for all 3 rushdins in medina. he faced alot harder circumstances than muavia(ra), he didn't fight 3 battles one after the other.

I have heard the Prophet (S) saying: "One who kills ‘Ammar and one who takes his clothes off his body will both go to Hell!" Mu'awiya interrupted Amr As and said in a reproachful tone:
“What you are saying is a dangerous jest. These two persons are fighting on our side and you are telling them that both of them will go to Hell!"
Amr said: “I swear by Allah that this is a fact and you also know it. I wish that I had died twenty years earlier than today.”
@@tabishshafi1959so you mean to say Team Muawiya were Khawarij along with Mubafiq as well?
I think the real moral is that Muawiyah's accession simply served to shock people, then and now, out of the conception that the rightful party will be victorious, victory belonged to the party who has the elements of victory (like political accumen and strategy) Sort of what we felt when Ned Stark died.
I respect your honesty in admitting that Yazid is responsible for the death of Hussain ibn Ali instead of trying to duck and weave it. And Im surprised to see how you viewed Yazid but I want you to keep in Mu'awiyah was the one who raised a monster like this and that should be acknowledged.

My brother, I always cry remembering how sayyidina Ali's family ended up.
The sons are not their fathers. Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr was one of the alleged killers of Uthman. Muwawiyah had several children. One of them turning out to be a sociopath, not really crazy. Happens.
I agree but having Yazid close to him growing up and then handing off the keys to the Ummah to him... Muawiyah has some responsibility over what happened in the following years. Just saying.

Another important point ☝️ which you have raised that is that Hussain ibn Ali didn't had supporters but the fact is imam Hussain was the cheif of banu Hashim tribe one of the wealthiest clan of hejaz and several tribes of iraq and hejaz supported imam Hussain only. Hussain stood up for the re establishment of the rashidun Caliphate. And rashidun Caliphate was Caliphate were caliphs were elected by a higher Advisory committee. Muawiyah carried out the development works for the Syrian people because it was his power base and he especially ignored iraq and hejaz and was involved in the killing of notable companions of the prophet Muhammad. His reign was peaceful just because of imam Hasan's peace treaty with him .
Uthman was chosen over Ali (as) because Ali (as) rejected to rule the way Umar and Abu Bakr ruled. Where do you come up with Hussain (as) ibn Ali wanted to rule like the previous caliphs?
@@ALI-om2re When I have told Hussain ibn Ali wanted to rule. Syawish said that Hussain didn't had supporters. I was telling him the fact that he had supporters. Around 25,000 people in kufa gave their alligience to imam Hussain and several people from other parts of the state also supported imam Hussain. But as curfew was imposed by ubaydullah ibn ziyad in kufa the things went wrong.
@@ALI-om2reI never said Hussain demanded the Caliphate. The mission of imam was to re establish the rashidun Caliphate through a revolution.
@@mdarquamali1484 what I’m trying to say is Ahlul-Bayt (as) at its core didn’t believe in the Caliphate of the first three caliphs as it’s well documented. So Hussain ibn Ali (as) wasn’t trying to re-establish that system. And of course I’m Shia and your probably Sunni so we have our different views but I’ve never seen a Sunni say that Hussain (as) wanted to establish that system of caliphate in it self or any proof being provided for that. Anyways there’s so much more I want to add but gotta go to a majlis .. take care

In addition, At Tabari reported Muawiyah 1)converted al Fadak into private property and gifted it to Marwan bin Hakam when he was appointed wali of Al Madinah, this after Khulafa Rashidoon kept it as sadaqah; 2)he abandoned the Sunnah of ruling from the masjid for ruling from palaces as Christians did; 3)he appointed and relied upon Christian Arabs especially Banu Kalb despite them fighting against Islam; 4)he cut pensions to veterans of alMadinah to force them to sell properties which he then bought, making Muawiyah the richest landowner in alMadinah. Muawiyah took the advise of Christians and built the palace at Sinna Naba on the south shore of Galilee, on the road to Damashq.

Muawiyah I became caliph less than 30 years following the death of The Messenger of God; prophet Muhammad (Muawiyah's brother in law) and very shortly after the reign of the four "rightly guided" (Rashidun) caliphs. Although many believe that Muawiyah I was considered to be lacking in the justice and piety of the Rashidun, Muawiyah was also the first caliph whose name appeared on coins, inscriptions, or documents of the nascent Islamic empire.
Anyway I always love his quote below:
"I never use my sword when the lash suffices, nor the lash when my tongue is enough."
_Muawiyah ibn abi Sufyan.
Thanks for the review brother Syawish, very well-presented! ❤
People were dissatisfied with his reign except the people of Syria. The people didn't revolted during his reign was because there was a clause in Hasan Muawiyah peace treaty that Muawiyah will leave matter of appointment of the news Caliph in the hands of the consultative assembly of Ansar and muhajirun. But he appointed his son. All the clauses of that treaty were violated and people were looking for an imam who would overthrow this corrupt regime. That's why people from hejaz and iraq reguraly visted imam Hussain. And as a result after his death people revolted and at the end which led to the establishment of Abdullah ibn zubair s' Caliphate.
Where can I read more about it?
poeple always ll find resons to revolt they revolt aginst othman and aginst ali so do u think them rule crupted caliphat .

The truth is...
It's history
What Abubakr and Omar achieved as leaders after the death of Prophet SAW when almost whole of Arabia apostatized was extraordinary remarkable. Ali as compare to the two aforementioned Caliphs was not politically capable and his failure in handling successfully the post Othman era which was far less challenging than the period Abubakr inherited is a testimony to the capabilities of Abubakr & Omar.
Omar was the chief advisor and architect behind every decision Abubakr made during his Caliphate.
Caliphate in Islam is decided by people, and there was no way Ali could have got elected above Abubakr & Omar, though Ali had to his advantage the blood relationship to Prophet and Prophet’s only surviving daughter (Fatima) was his wife.
Ali himself was a remarkable person in his own way but the two closest advisors to Prophet and the two most respectable men after Prophet and the two who were groomed to lead after Prophet, the two who had acceptability among not just Prophet’s Companions but around Arabia were none but Abubakr and Omar.
Even during Prophets life there are many instances that showed their special place… in the battle of Uhud, if one recalls the dialogue between Abi-Sufyan & Muslims, he enquired about Prophet (he was confirming about the rumor that Prophet has been martyred) & immediately after Prophet he asked about Abubakr & Omar?
That shows the hierarchy among Muslims, even Kuffar Quraish knew the importance of Abubakr and Omar.
And finally, when Al-Abbas the Prophet’s uncle suggested Ali to get anything in favor for himself as Prophet might not survive this illness, Ali wasn’t confident & refused to go to Prophet to seek for his nomination for leadership position (Caliph). Ali said that Prophet’s refusal to appoint him may take away any little chance he may have in future to assume or to get elected/ appointed as a Caliph.
In summary; Ali had all the credentials to be first Caliph like all other very senior Companions had, but he wasn’t the best for this job in the eyes of them while Abubakr & Omar were still alive.
Who are we now after 1450 years to judge the decisions made by Prophet’s Companions and specially when their decisions (of appointing Abubakr & later Omar) were the most successful of decisions in human history!
The caliph was never chosen by the people. They were either chosen by a small group or designated by the reigning caliph. U r making up a rule that never existed.
The fact is that there was a question of succession. The companions didn't even agree that there should be one successor. Some Ansari argued that there should be one for them and another for the muhajirun.
Ali's claim was that he had been designated by the Prophet (sas) so the opinion of the companions would have been irrelevant anyway.
It's useless to argue the counterfactual that Ali would have been a worse caliph than Abu Bakr as if u know how Ali would have done. Isn't that knowledge that only belongs to Allah?
All I say is that if Ali could accept (by not rebelling) the authority of the first three caliph, then who am I to raise an issue now?
@@skepticalbaby7300
Ali never claimed he was designated by Prophet and if that were the case he would never have agreed and accepted his predecessors and wouldn’t have served under them. And we suggesting such a thing which he never claimed is a sin. And the hundreds & thousands of Companions who believed in the last Prophet & Quran and fought and died for him would ever have accepted anything short of Ali’s Caliphate IF prophet had nominated him. We tarnish the Iman of all Companions by creating a lie that never existed.
The Caliphs were not elected by people directly as the elections are conducted today but consultations were done with all parties among Sabiqoon Al Awwaloon Minal Muhajiroon & Ansar and they all were agreed upon by vas majority.
If any one person whom Prophet indirectly suggested was Abubakr as he didn’t allowed anyone else to lead prayers except him.
Ali had the desire and there is nothing wrong and he knew that his chances were slim. And it was he who pushed the name of Omar as second Caliph.
Ali got his chance though the situation was challenging and he made it tough by his certain decisions and he wasn’t politically successful.
The humongous challenges Abubakr faced when he assumed the office of Caliphate was far much tougher & challenging and every decision he took was successful to an extent that he & later Omar became the standard on which all the later Islamic rulers were measured.
It is not that Ali didn’t get a chance, he got it and he is considered the rightly guided Caliph. Though his political decisions at times questionable but his Iman, Taqwa, Tawakkul, ILM, ADL…. are among the best and he belongs to highest echelons of the Companions.
Your conclusion said it all. Ali didn’t rebel because he was never nominated by Prophet and none was nominated. He served under the three predecessors with integrity and it was due to their sacrifice and success we are Muslims today!
Who are we to question today who should have been the first Caliph while we live in a time with enough challenges of our own and we are struggling to survive let alone perform!
@omerasadshaik6426 The designation in question is that of ghadeer khumm. And Ali did refer to it after his ascension to be Khalifa. However, the sahabah differed on whether it was a designation of succession as they would differ on many things. It is not a question of emaan, but reasonable differences in interpretation. Besides, it is not necessary for Ali to have made the claim. Abu Bakr never stated his claim to the Khalifa. Umar pressed Abu Bakr's case. Will u now say that Abu Bakr's claim to the Khalifa is non-historical because he never expressed the claim?
Ur history is incorrect. All of the muhajirun were not at saqifah. The reliable reports only confirm that Abu Bakr, Umar, and Abu Ubaydah were there. We know this because the Banu Hashim refused to accept the result and Umar went through Medina to get their oath of allegience. If everyone was there, then why would he have to go through Medina?
There was no vote on candidates. Umar simply grabbed Abu Bakr's hand, pledged allegiance, and encouraged others to follow. That is not an election with competing candidates. And even if u term it an election, ur claim that it is a rule if false because neither Abu Bakr nor Umar repeated the process. Indeed, Umar called Saqifa a "falta" meaning a rushed, ill-conceived event. And that is why it was not repeated.
And u are wrong that Abu bakr was the only one the Prophet (sas) ever designated to lead the prayer. Numerous others had been designated to lead the prayer in the past. Will u now argue that they were designated by the Prophet (sas)? That's ridiculous.
In your effort to explain why the Ummah was correct in the selection of Abu Bakr and Umar, u disparage Ali. U lift up Abu Bakr and Umar, but tear down Ali. Why? U have repeatedly stated that such and such remarks denigrate the Sahabah. But u are the one highlighting Ali's flaws and claiming that he could never do this or that. U are the one ranking the Sahabah and placing one over the other 1400 years after the fact. It is divisive and u should really examine why u feel it is necessary.
Spot on.
Nothing you said is referenced and reliable contains some truth mixed with false and exegeration
This man stripped Islam of its sole. Changed hadeeth to fit his imperial ambitions, and ruled Dae$s style, profiteering from war and carnage.
The word Caliph means successor to the prophet leading in accordance with Islamic principles. This man was not principled. He was a machiavellian politician, but not machiavellian enough to create a sustainable kingdom. Machiavellianism isn't Islamic, the prophet wasn't machiavellian and this man wasn't a caliph to the prophet.
Why glorify a man because he built am empire? It wasn't Islam's objective to create an empire. Islam spread organically throughout southeast Asia when decent peaceful Arabs visited for trade and showed a good example to their hosts. The right Caliph to the prophet would have done the same.
I m speechless to how good the content is. This is far more greater content than before. thx so much brother. May Allah rewards you
Your analysis was extremely biased. You stated that the assassin of Uthman gave the Caliphate to Ali but the fact according to Islamic hadith books is that Ali was elected by the shura ( consultative assembly) which was composed of senior companions of prophet Muhammad. And this shura was responsible for the election of uthman also. You told there are no proper historical records about battle of siffin etc but the fact is there are chapters in hadith books 📚 like musanaf of imam ibn abi shyiba on battle of siffin etc. You also said that Ali didn't had any military experience but the fact according to Islamic hadith books 📚 Ali played decisive in battle of Khyber, battle of badr, battle of trench, battle of zat ul salasil and Ali was also the cheif justice during Caliph Umar's reign. You even ignored the clauses of the peace treaty which was signed between Muawiyah and Hasan ibn Ali. This analysis of yours was totally biased.

In the most simplest terms we can say: He was a good general and politician but betrayed his values for his family. Like when we really look at all the opportunities there were to avoid so much conflict, his stance boils down to him being loyal and needing the support of his clan. He fell back on pre-Islamic values rather than embrace the egalitarian structure. Honestly, it seems if he just worked with Ali (RA) and basically said 'Ok, Uthman (RA) messed up A LOT, but he is a Caliph, so just for the obligation to our government alone we have to rectify this' (And of course it would be on Ali to actually decide to agree) and support him politically while keeping his family under close watch, things could've looked very different.
Bc in the end, regardless of hidden intentions or personality, everything that matters about him as a person is known through his actions. And his actions were f*cked up

Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan
The author of this book is the American researcher Stephen Humphreys. He is a professor at the University of California, USA. His interests focus on Islamic studies and the history of the Middle East. He is also specialized in studying the relationship between religion and politics in the Islamic world. In this new book, the author talks about one of the most important figures in history. Arab Islamic: Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan.
the Umayyad Caliphate coincides with modern day Syria due to the capital being at Damascus. similar to the Abbasid Caliphate coinciding with modern Iraq due to Baghdad being it's capital.
Those regions were the respective centers of power for both regimes, but the polities being ruled were much larger--the Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates were indeed empires.
I love that fundamentalists are angry the first generation Muslim with the Christian wife and majority Christian population (in Egypt, the Levant, and parts of Mesopotamia and Arabia anyways) whose prophet taught that Christians were a people of his book...that that guy was too friendly towards Christians. Even if Christians had been a tiny minority, shouldn't he have been friendly towards them anyways? Isn't that supposed to be built into Islam?

Give respect to Muaviya and Ali, though they did battle both are Mujthahid and campanion of prophet.
Ali R.Z was a caliph and Mauwiya was a mere governor.
Karbala 🚩
I've been brought up as a sunni and here is my opinion on The Story Of Karbala
To understand the story you'll have to go back to time of usman r.a. Usman was appointed as khalifa in old age and he was soft towards his relatives, his notorious tribe banu umaiya, one of his governor in kufa used to lead salah while being drunk, entertaining people with magician jew in masjid and many other faults in his governors, protesters surrounded him in madina for being so soft on these criminals, in result of this protest, few extremists end up killing the caliph.
Ali was appointed as the next caliph and Muawiya took control of syria without the permission of Ali.
He gathered protesters against Ali to take revenge for usman, but it was just a fake reason to take over the throne. it is the manner of protest that protesters should gather up and march towards capital city, Madina was the capital city but they took people to basra with weapons on them. Ali and Muaviya had 2 wars and Ali won both of them. (Siffeen & jamal)
System was ruined and caliphate ended with the blood of more thanhundred thousand companions
3 killers were released by khawarij at the time of fajr to assassinate Ali, Muawiya, and amr
Ali was killed in sujood, muaviya didn't come for prayer that day and amr survived the attack
Now the caliph is gone and people chose his son Hassan to continue caliphate
Hassan and Muaviya
Hassan came with 40k soldiers against muaviya. Amr ibne aas informed muaviya we won't survive against hassan.
Banu umaiya offered truce and according to chapter anfal القرآن
If your enemy offer truce even in the middle of war, accept it. Hassan gave them free hand by handing over caliphate ( usman ka badla lena tha, ab badhsahat de rha hun, le k btao ) Hassan accepted truce on 5 conditions.
-1 muaviya will run his kingdom on the orders of Allah and teachings of prophets
-2 soldiers of Ali won't be harmed
-3 muaviya will leave ummat on their own decision to chose their next ruler, but muaviya appointed his son yazeed 4 years before his death
4- ahle baet will get humus
5- cursing on Ali will be stopped
Only 4th condition was accepted, rest of the conditions were badly ruined.
Yazeed and Hussain ع
Hussain ع held himself back all these 20 years just because of the agreement of hassan and Muaviya, the day hassan was poisoned, the agreement was fully broken plus when yazeed was appointed as a next ruler. There was no need to have a monarch kingship when the nephew of prophet is still alive.
People of kufa wrote a letter to Hussain ع summoning him for a war against yazeed.
Hussain was on his way, yazeed was informed, he removed nouman ibne bashir, a sahabi, from his governor post of kufa and sent ubaidullah ibne ziyad, a cruel governor.
He entered the city kufa at midnight appearing to be hussain ع. People welcomed him and he ordered his soldiers to seize the city, poeple of kufa were Deceived and many were killed.
Stopped Hussain ع and his family in a scorching desert and killed each one of them one by one after torturing them with thirst and hunger. (Few escaped and came to our sindh)
Sunni scholars hide all this just to save monarchy loving father and son.
Banu ummaya gained lands but lost iman.

Machiavelli to Mu'awiyah : well i just wanna say that i'm a huge fan
It's kind of sad that the day you chose to praise Muawiyah is the same day when his son massacred the progeny of the Holy Prophet on the plains of Karbala.
The Prophet said that whoever harbors "Bughz" in their heart against the Ahlulbayt will face the fires of hell. Praising those who held "Bughz" towards the Ahlulbayt is nothing short of shameful.
You might claim to have no "Bughz" against the Ahlulbayt, but your actions speak otherwise.
shia, get lost. Muawiyah R.A was companion of Prophet S.A.W
and stop blaming his son's actions on him
"Bughz against Ahl ul Bayt" say that to shias who curse Aisha R.A

Congratulations its a great exposition!!
Narrated `Ikrima:
Ibn `Abbas said to me and to his son `Ali, "Go to Abu Sa`id and listen to what he narrates." So we went and found him in a garden looking after it. He picked up his Rida', wore it and sat down and started narrating till the topic of the construction of the mosque reached. He said, "We were carrying one adobe at a time while `Ammar was carrying two. The Prophet (ﷺ) saw him and started removing the dust from his body and said, "May Allah be Merciful to `Ammar. He will be inviting them (i.e. his murderers, the rebellious group) to Paradise and they will invite him to Hell-fire." `Ammar said, "I seek refuge with Allah from affliction."

I don't know what kind of stuff you will present in this video but Islamic authentic hadith books gives us a clear picture that he was a corrupt leader who destroyed the Caliphate and in his rule was peaceful just because of Sulh e Hasan. Otherwise poverty was there, several notable companion of the prophet of God were killed by him like hujr ibn Adi iraqi people were kept under high surveillance and several sanctions were imposed on them . There was high poverty during his rule. Muawiyah purchased the lands in taif and employed Syrian people there rather than employing hejazi people. All development activities he did was for Syrian population because it was a power centre of his rule and it was important for him to keep them happy. In sahih Muslim there is a hadith also that Muawiyah used to tell to kill the innocent and earn money 💰 by following unlawful ways.

And as far as muaviya is concerned he isnt one of the Ashra Mubashra of which Mawla Ali is a part of. Hazrat Muaviya only became a Muslim when Makkah was won back from the kuffars. And were given a choice of either to become a Muslim or to be killed. On the other hand Ali is the person who was the first male to become a Muslim when he was a child. He was the closest to the prophet in his companions. He was the one who stood with the prophet in badr, uhud not against him like Muaviya.

The enemies of ahlul Bayt will never find peace after life.
Was the timing on purpose?
Why? What happened?
yeah I swear haha. Man decides to release this on the Day of Ashura 😭
@@alomaralsulaiman6501 today's the 10th of Muharram in the Islamic calendar, and on this day 765yrs ago, the Prophet ﷺ's grandson was killed by soldiers loyal to Yazid, the son of Muawiyah
@@ayubk2638bruh wtf💀. Go read History the shias of Kufa betrayed Al Hussain and Killed him. Even Mohammed Al Baker ( 5th Imam of Shia and Grandson of Al Hussain) Said that the Shia of Ali in Kufa Killed Al Hussain. Stop hating muawiya and yazid.
@@ayubk2638oh I didn't notice that literally forgot about that event.
A well researched report, claiming the important victories that established Islam. That Muabiah didn't resort to extravaganza and took the best way out of a problem, was typical of Syrian diplomacy, saving revenue to fight the Christians using Christian sailors, very cunning and earned himself the respect of the historians. His victory in the naval warfare against Constantine was praise worthy. His merciless elimination of enemy is forgivable and a mark of a great statesman. That Ali might have made mistake is apparent from the role played by Aesha.
Your Muqaddimah in favor of muawiyah is weak. Calling him Great is laughable.
There is no doubt he won first fitna but what followed after him? his legacy is second fitna which was far more bloody than the first one.
He was Robert baratheon of game of thrones after him followed clash of kings and after Muawiyah followed clash of caliphs. I think there were four caliphs fighting each other in second fitna.
If there is any ummayad caliph to be called great will be Abd Al Malik ibn marwan.
No it’s umar b Abdul aziz R.A
You seem to be a Marwanid fanboy
look at my name. do you think I'm a Fan?@@Sabiqoon-w8y
And he put his son Yazeed as Caliph which was ILLEGITIMATE
