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.
@@nietzschean6987 sick edgelord virtue signalling!
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
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. Im not even Shia no more (by todays standards of "Shia") but I can acknowledge the facts and look at history rationally. @@jamieammar6131
@@jamieammar6131mu’awiyah showed with his own actions that he was an opportunist.
@@talhaahmed2130 Yes he was. Well, politics was really complicated at the time, and tribalism was rampant.
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.
Muawiya was a terrible person, if you read history properly though his cursed son surpassed him. but the seeds were planted by Muawiya himself.

@@MeliodasthesinofwrathKeep your sectarian speakers to yourself.
Could you explain? Does it have to do with karbala?
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! ❤
We need your explanation for the whole Umayyad era politically and economically which is vague I think... Thanks for the enlightenment
kzhead.info/sun/pc9vgrCjeqCeaJs/bejne.html
I agree. Also, religiously vague. I tend to attribute that to the Abbasid narrative that worked to eliminate the Umayyad narrative.
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.
Any primary sources for your starting point concerning conversion or even presence of Mu'awiyah in Mecca?
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.

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
Great video as always 👍😊
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
The chief of the hashimites was Abd Allah ibn al-Abbas not imam hussiyn
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!).

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.
@AlMuqaddimahYT Awesome job akh, I'm even thinking about donating..curious as to what those cool perks are ha. Already my favorite KZhead channel
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.
Muawiyah was really the first Islamic emperor he was even called the Khosrau of the Arabs by medieval muslim historians. From now on I will call him (Muawiyah the great).
May the Lanath of Allah be on Muaiwya and Inshallah you will rise with him on the day of judgement.

'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.”
@@tabishshafi1959so you mean to say Team Muawiya were Khawarij along with Mubafiq as well?
Thanks for your videos Pls make a full playlist per khilafah
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 .
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.

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.
Stop calling Mu'awiyah as a Caliph, he was not a Caliph He was Sultan of Umayyad Caliphate
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."

He was not the writer of revelations but just merely a munshi. because his father asked the Prophet to do so and Prophet agreed.

Thrace ? They never even tried to invade Thrace there was no border . Khazars in Caucasus Turks in central Asia Gurjara in India Franks in Galia Byzantine in Anatolia

whatta great content, i am impressed
This is off topic, but as a quick question why did the Muslim forces accept the jizyha at heliopolis, but not at the battle of yarmouk? It's my understanding that vahan offered gold and goods to have al whalid retreat. Thank you for your content and time.
Very very well researched and useful . Much needed content!
Great video. At a time like this, it's important to reference your sources. Thanks and kudos.
Give respect to Muaviya and Ali, though they did battle both are Mujthahid and campanion of prophet.
This production further expands that Sunni Islam is built on empires and conquers and not religion.
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.
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
Its not a historical perspective, its a salafi perspective.
@@RS-zt5zj ok mr rafidi

When will make a video on Islam in west africa?
Very informative video ! Thank you.
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.
Ibn Khaldun was the REAL Al-Muqaddimah, not just that OTHER ONE!
I concede that.
As a Sunni I will tell you we can’t teach our prophet Sahih al-Bukhari 2812 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."
aint no way bro uploaded this on the 9th of Muharam 💀
*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.
Don't forget that the majority of Sunnis still hate Muawiya
bro said mocking shias is kufr 💀 who do you think you are to judge righteous servants of Allah?
and stop barking with falsehood
Yes but atleast we don't curse muaviyeh we still do consider him a Muslim and companion ruler of Syria .
@@blacksheep6174you know what i upset even more, they "shia" mock omar ibn kattab
Shukran Akhi ❤❤ 🇦🇹
Nice and useful video, but why the Indian music in the background?
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.
you haven't even watched the video ???
The truth is...
It's history
Great timing lol. Maybe do one on his son this time next year.
As a sunni Muslim my self this was very disrespectful from this guy. He will see what it rewards him very hurtful and what bad timing
Man, it is always a lovely day when Siyavish uploads a video.
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
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.

Just reading up on byzantine history but this guy should be considered up there with Hannibal and Atilla as one of the Roman's most dangerous adversaries
Perfect timing
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
Christians would appreciate his reign because he did for harm to Muslims that they couldn’t even do to us. The timing is very condescending me as a Sunni Muslim say read about Hazrat Umer RA what he said and How Imam Nasai RA was murdered you should do a video on Imam Nasai
As a Sunni Muslim, I fully support Ali (ra).

In this new book, the author talks about one of the most important figures in history. Arab Islamic: Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan.
Thank you for all your hard work. I believe that Arabic-speaking peoples are a bit spoiled as they have their history readily at their finger-tips......resources often not found in non-arabic publications. As a revert of some years, I am intensely interested in the first millenia AD, especially the middle 500 years. I share this to let you know that you are very much doing more good than you may know. May Allah grant you ease and sooth your heart. 😊😊😊
An excellent video from a very balanced perspective.
I really recommend shaykh uthman farooq his series on the khulafah ! He goes particular deep on muawiya (ra). He uses only reliable narrations which I don’t know if it was considered in this video as English historians are being quoted … left and right anyway ghair in sh Allah kzhead.info9pze_eq5aPw?feature=share This is the first of a 4 part series
Shaykh Farhan Al Maliki Explains! Is best about mauwiya
@@Meliodasthesinofwrath i don’t recommend listening to someone who says that the likes of ghandhi and mandela etc will probably go to paradise while muawiyah (ra ) is from the people of the fire ? That’s some clear deviation. The quran clearly praises the sahaba and muawiyah is one of them. Allah the knower of the unseen, told us what to say about the sahaba even though Allah and even the prophet sallahoe alihi we selam knew that fitnah would come between the sahaba ( ra ) after his death : “As for those who had settled in the city and ˹embraced˺ the faith before ˹the arrival of˺ the emigrants, they love whoever immigrates to them, never having a desire in their hearts for whatever ˹of the gains˺ is given to the emigrants. They give ˹the emigrants˺ preference over themselves even though they may be in need. And whoever is saved from the selfishness of their own souls, it is they who are ˹truly˺ successful. And those who come after them will pray, “Our Lord! Forgive us and our fellow believers who preceded us in faith, and do not allow bitterness into our hearts towards those who believe. Our Lord! Indeed, You are Ever Gracious, Most Merciful.” - surah al Hashr verse 10 and 11 Ali ( ra ) had by that point the most right to become the caliph. The fitna that occured between the sahaba does not mean one party was disbelievers and other were muslims. There could be the 2 muslim groups fighting each other like Allah says : “And if two groups of believers fight each other, then make peace between them. But if one of them transgresses against the other, then fight against the transgressing group until they ˹are willing to˺ submit to the rule of Allah. If they do so, then make peace between both ˹groups˺ in all fairness and act justly. Surely Allah loves those who uphold justice. The believers are but one brotherhood, so make peace between your brothers. And be mindful of Allah so you may be shown mercy.” Surah hujurat verse 10 and 11 It is very important to not be biased when you look in to these events And that you take all hadiths that are relaible in consideration, not just the ones that fit in your political alignment whimps and desires.. May Allah guide us upon the straight path that leads to his love, amien
@@aboeyousfie2409 allah praise the sahaba before war not after war mauwiya was after war sahaba
@@Meliodasthesinofwrath isn’t Allah the knower of the unseen, doesn’t he know what will happen and hasn’t he encompassed everything with his knowledge, doesn’t he know what’s in the hearts of people ? Why would he praise someone that’s going to be in the fire . Allah only praises someone in the quran after he has tested them. This doesn’t mean that sahaba are without sin or fault… But it means that they are best people after the prophets that came out of humankind because Allah says : You are the best community ever raised for humanity-you encourage good, forbid evil, and believe in Allah. Had the People of the Book believed, it would have been better for them. Some of them are faithful, but most are rebellious. Surah ali imraan verse 110 This verse refers to prophet muhammed sallahoe alihi we selam and the sahaba.. and it wil refer to every muslim that comes with the same qualifications as the sahaba did before they got this praise from Allah… the knower over everything, the al wise … etc Also, that’s why Allah says and I refer back to the ayah of surah hashr “ And those who come after them will pray, “Our Lord! Forgive us and our fellow believers who preceded us in faith, and do not allow bitterness into our hearts towards those who believe. Our Lord! Indeed, You are Ever Gracious, Most Merciful.” This ayah refers to sahaba and to every muslim generation that will come after them that we need to ask forgiveness for them.. and that we ask Allah not put any animosity in our hearts towards a believer even if he did a sin or a mistake. As allah says about himself : Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great." Surah baqarah Ayat koersie So that means Allah knew what would happen and so did the prophet sallahoe alihi we selam in multiple hadiths he had mentioned this to the his companions.. Mujahid reported: Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “Do not curse the companions of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, for Allah Almighty commanded seeking forgiveness for them even though He knew they would fight each other.” Source: Faḍā’il al-Ṣaḥābah li-Aḥmad Ibn Ḥanbal 1741 Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Ibn Taymiyyah
@@aboeyousfie2409 your hidith is weak Because it form nasibi taymiyyah
You’re a very engaging narrator, BTW.
Very well made video, balanced and insightful
Balanced my ass
Mu’awiyah is a companion of the prophet and sister to the prophet's wife, he was a great man and a good caliph.
He accepted Islam after the conquest of Mecca so he wasn’t a companion. He abused his sister Ummul Momineen Umm Habiba R.A, and made up narrations citing he alleged “greatness” when he wanted people to think he was on par with Ali R.A. He was an absolutely wretched person responsible for the killing of the prophet SAW’s family.
@@greenvox WOW, brother you are entitled to your opinion but let me respond to your remarks and hope to understand why I love all companions: 1- A companion is anyone who accepted Islam and accompanied the prophet which Mu’awiyah did. Many Sahaba accepted Islam after the conquest of Makkah like عكرمة بن ابي جهل و صفوان بن خلف and those are companions. 2- He never abused his sister and there are no confirmed details about that, in fact she visited Mu’awiyah in Damascus during his reign. 3- Ali was better than him and we all now that, but it does not mean that he was not a musilm or great leader. They both had a different approach of hoe to handle Othman's killers. 4- Mu’awiyah and Ali were first cousin and both family to the prophet and he did not kill the prophet's family. 5- Mu’awiyah is the founder of the dynasty of the Ummayad caliphate which is the largest Arab - Islamic empire in history. Mu’awiyah was a great leader and shroud politician who unified the Ummah and spread Islam and defeated the romans.

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.
damn u wrote all this or just coped from somewhere?
Ive been studying this time period from the Christian scripts and super interested in the interaction btwn Islam/Christianity- this video tied together alot of names and places I've begun to recognize. Assalum alaikum ...
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.
