[@mujtabashah3667]

No thank you.

[@nietzschean6987]

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.

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.

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.

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 .

[@ALI-om2re]

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?

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.

[@omerasadshaik6426]

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!

[@skepticalbaby7300]

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?

[@omerasadshaik6426]

@@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!

[@skepticalbaby7300]

@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.

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.

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.

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.

[@7starlife-x6e]

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.

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.

@@aligelle8649 If you’re being biased against the brother as a Sunni then we can call you a Nasabi as well you fit the Jihad of Constantinople on Yazid and His father but dont take this clear cut Hadith from our Sunni sources Bukhari seriously that shows you Nasabi denial you can’t teach the Prophet PBUH He is our Noble teacher

Ali ibn abi talib may allah be pleased with him wasn't away from the political and administrative manners of the rashidun caliphate, he acted as an advisor and decision maker in the reigns of the three caliphs before him and was on of the six people "Ahl a shura" which omar choose to succeed him

[@Warlock786]

Not true. In the time of Abu Bakr he became a recluse because he was dissapointed in his so called friends. In the time of Umer he acted as an advisor on some occasions.

[@abdullahassaffah]

​@@Warlock786no he didn't he even led the defense of madinah as general it was because of Ali radiallahuanhu advise Abu bakr radiallahuanhu continued the battles and wars

[@Warlock786]

@@abdullahassaffah Not sure what you typed there it did'nt make much sense brother. But the theory that Ali AS was involved in decision making during the time of the 3 caliphs is very wrong. Every now and then he offered advice but that is about it. Brother.....the Caliphate was deliberately kept away from Bani Hashim by the Quraysh.....this is not a secret.

[@bilallodhi6863]

I think you are cherry picking books that are in favour of a certain views hence making you view bias not general.

When r u going to cover all the 12 imams who were blood and family of our Prophet.

[@karimradwan2200]

No one wants Shia stuff.

[@HistoryOfRevolutions]

What was the criteria of those 12 imams in order to be selected. Why were Zayd ibn Ali and Ismail bin Jafar rejected? Why was there so much division within the Shia regarding who was Imam?

Shia is not Islam

Are you Muslim? If you're Muslim please say peace be upon him after naming prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم

[@jagrupsingh885]

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.

[@realstudioabc3878]

shia, get lost. Muawiyah R.A was companion of Prophet S.A.W

[@realstudioabc3878]

and stop blaming his son's actions on him

[@realstudioabc3878]

"Bughz against Ahl ul Bayt" say that to shias who curse Aisha R.A Y"all don't consider her part of Ahl ul Bayt cuz you make your own stuff up 😂

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.

[@flint8173]

stay mad, kid. Just cuz Yazid was bad doesn't mean you can blame it on Muawiyah R.A. get lost shia.
