Hi king and generals could you please make a video about the qramita senescence there topic is unknown for many people and I think that their topic is one of the most surprising topics in history.
I feel sorry for Ali, he seemed like an upright honourable man who tried to do the right thing while holding on to power. If Ali had been more ruthless and underhanded like Muawiya, he perhaps would have won the Fitna.
He was fighting for his principles, not for the throne! That is why following his principles were more important than some battle victories for Ali, the honorable rashidun Imam Caliph
You are right, my friend. I would recommend you look deeper into the history of Ali. During the Prophet’s lifetime he was the champion of Islam, their greatest warrior who was decisive in countless battles. But he was always a man of principle and morals first, never a conqueror. He sought peace even when it meant he did not achieve total victory. This life was but a passing thing for him.
It really makes you wonder how many honorable men who have died because they didn't want to be overly cruel. In war you have to ruthless. Willing to do more and endure more and do so faster, more efficient and for longer. Anything less and someone decides they can do your job better than you.
@@geordiejones5618 True but some men would rather die for their principles than live selfishly and cruelly. In the end they’re all going to die, and now history remembers Ali far better than it remembers someone like Muawiyah.
Ali was obviusly unfit for rule. He couldn't even control his own men yet, how was he going to control the entire caliphate. He also recruited the murderers of the third rightly guided caliph, Othman, into his army, which was already the main reason for the problem between him and Muawiya. Againist to the demands of Muawiyah, he always avoided punishing them. Eventually His death came from them. He was a wonderful warrior but not a good politician.
@@mclovinjr9086 I can not hate someone who married with Prophet's daughter. Cut that shia bias. I love Ali as much as i love Uthman. And yes Uthman made a lot of mistakes too. But Uthman was the leader of the Ummah which Ali pledged allegiance too. Those who murdered him should have been prosecuted rather than protected. And you know that very well too. What can be expected from a rafidi who sees Omar's zoroastrian murderer, which Ali pledged allegiance too, as a hero
@@sourweed9818 he could control his men easily. He refused to use the same vile tactics that Muawayiah would liberally use. Muawayiah didn’t care much for Uthman killers as he didn’t pursue them or really supported uthman during his reign. Also, who was the murderer who was in Ali army
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 group. `Ammar will invite them to (obey) Allah and they will invite him to the (Hell) fire." Sahih al-Bukhari 2812.
It's really interesting once you take the Islamic aspect of this out of the picture and focus on the political and military aspect of the times. The Islamic faith might as well have originated on another planet, I am no way implying it's not as valid as the other major faiths but it's far more complex and would make Game of Thrones writers blush. I have studied it and still don't understand all of it's quirks and factions. However I am good at understanding politics. These Muslim Expansion videos give much needed context to the struggle we face today in the modern middle east.
@@JRGProjects tbf having to understand the religious splits and minor doctrinal differences and divergences of Christian and Buddhist denominations is probably equally as esoteric/opaque as would be any sufficiently widespread religion, Islam just has the benefit of being relatively young and decently centralized for much of its early formation
@@Laakien agreed. The time we are experiencing is what Christianity and even Judaism experienced long ago. The 30 Years War Protestants vs Catholics or the Jewish Faith's back and forth wars in Israel in the Old Testament. Islam is in it's growing pain period but eventually like the others I believe they will grow out of it.
@@JRGProjects its actually extremely simple from my experience as a muslim, i am assuming the complexities are abt islamic sects. But i mean there r only 2, shia’s and sunni’s everything else is related to one of them.
As a Muslim who's been taught about all of these early Islamic conflicts, I appreciate this video alot and have learned a Thing or two from it. Thanks again
Same, as an agnostic Westerner it annoys me to no end how little emphasis public schools place on World History, we get it Europe had a "Dark Age" but Islam was literally experiencing their golden age at the exact same time! Also China was chugging along as usual being the most important exporter on the planet for luxuries, followed closely by India & SE Asia
@@محمديونس-7 he got the information for the same sources u might have came across, everyone has their own say on many different sources that I’ve read but don’t know what to believe
Ali ibn Abi Talib was special. It is said that one who can wield a sword in the battle and can fight courageously cannot be good with qalam(🖋️ pen) and is cold hearted. One who is a philosopher or good with writing cannot be good at fighting as they are soft hearted. But Ali was a fierce and unmatched warrior in the battle field yet being extremely soft hearted, kind and forgiving alongside. Being the best in all areas of human endeavour.
Ali was obviusly unfit for rule. He couldn't even control his own men yet, how was he going to control the entire caliphate.

@@sourweed9818 Keep spamming this comment. The truth is Ali was a greater warrior and a greater ruler than any of the other ‘Caliphs’. It was jealously and hatred for him that led to the instability and war during his reign.
@@mclovinjr9086 i am spreading the truth. He protected the murderers, and his death came at the hands of the murderers he protected. If he had gotten rid of them in the first place and showed his authority, neither Muawiya nor anyone else would have dare to anything againist him.
@@sourweed9818 You’re a liar. Answer me clearly, are you calling Ali unjust? Are you saying Ali prevented justice by protecting murderers? Because if you say this, you against the words of the Prophet PBUH.
@@mclovinjr9086 yes. And i am not saying anything to againist Prophet. Weak hadithes cannot be taken into account. There is nothing in Quran about Ali. Ali was Just a human like anybody else. Only Prophets are infallible not their sons in law.
During the Battle of Siffin, Caliph Ali challenged Muawiah for a one on one battle; so that all the conflict be resolved once and for all with minimum bloodshed. Hearing this, the conqueror of Egypt, Amr ibn Al A'as told muawiah that he is left with no other choice but to accept this. Ali has made a fair offer! Muawiah responded, "Ali has killed each and every person he ever faced in battle! How can a one on one duel against him be a fair offer?" Reference: After the Prophet by Leslie Hazleton
@@williamrobert9898 'Ali, Khalid ibn Walid, and 'Umar ibn Khattab was among the most feared and renowned champions of the Muslim world back then. However, unlike most of them, 'Ali was not only a strongman, but also a scholar. He's a genius bruiser.
@@williamrobert9898 Ali was the banner carrier in at least a dozen different battles in his late teens and 20's. He was the right hand of Muhammad ﷺ during the establishment of Islam, defeating the most feared champions and breaking through staunch forts. In the battles shown in this video Ali was in his late 50's but was still a warrior to be reckoned with.
@Idiris guys stop the fitna for the love of allah both of them are great sahabi’s who are we to make opinions on who’s better? Stop this for the sake of allah .
@Idiris @Idiris the book of tabary, the third book, page 176, the hadith number: 6440. Umar says he ran away from the battle of uhud and ran to the mountain. he climbed the mountain so fast that he thought he is a goat. Borther, someone who runs away like this from battles cannot be comparable with Imam Ali (A.S) the lion of Allah who lifted and broke the gate of kheybar. Also this hadith about Umar is in your other books too such as dur al mansor.
@@mohamudabdisalaan6155it is what it is, why is it wrong? Muawiyah was fighting ali ra and his son yazid killed hussein, it happened. Uthman secure the umayyad positions in the government while he was ruling
@@mohamudabdisalaan6155he never said sahaba, he said the enemies of the prophet and his family, are you saying that the sahaba are the enemies of the prophet?
I feel like the mention that a sizeable portion of Ali's army (In both Siffin and the battle of the camel shown in the previous video) were the rebels (Who would eventually become the Kharijites) who had originally taken up arms against Uthman and eventually had him killed is needed. Another point being that the three men who carried out the assassination attempts, were part of the Kharijite movement (The assassin of Ali having being a part of the Kharijite army who fought Ali at Nahrawan) and they viewed the 3 men (Ali, Muawyia and Amr) has heretics deserving to be killed. Also a small sidenote, Ali's son Al Hassan did assume the title of caliph for a short of time (and is considered to be the fifth rashidun caliph by some sources), but then ceded it to Muwayia, according to most Islamic sources to prevent further bloodshed in the Islamic world. Nonetheless another great video, keep up the awesome work!
@@ChevyChase301 nope, the persians were essentially fully subsumed into the islamic world and the only rebel remnants were taking refuge in china. Those remenants later were defeated by the ummayyads. The romans had their own problems and probably couldn't do much even if they had wanted to.
It's propaganda because those who protested against Uthman R.A were mostly companions . It's a propaganda from some factions of the Ahlus Sunnah but many accept this reality. It was due to the corrupt governors that most people protested against the government.
sahih bukhari 2812 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 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.
It’s more complicated than people think. Ali didn’t agree with the entirety of the caliphs but accepted peace as long as it prevented bloodshed. The conspiracy of killing Othman was large and the enemies of Ali were involved. When Othman was killed it was the same people who had a hand in his death who blaimed Ali. Later the people asked Ali to be caliph and he refused to take the position if they consider him just another “fourth” caliph. But when Ali saw things going south he finally agreed to take leadership.

@@sigitprabowo363 check out Farid responds on this topic and Yasir Qadhi also has a good lecture too.

@@sourweed9818 this is your personal opinion and nothing more. The Prophet sawa himself stated that Ali is with haq and haq is with Ali. I would prefer going with what the Prophet said rather than you. Also you said “rightly guided caliph, Uthman”. Interesting, can you show me one instance where the Prophet appointed either Abu bakr, Umar or Uthman (la on all) as the rightful successor after him? Seems like a serious title to give someone without backing it up.
Ali (as) personally selected Malik al-Ashtar and Abdullah ibn Abbas (his first cousin) from his army for arbitration. But many people from the army of Ali rejected his choice and selected Abu Musa al-Ashari as their choice. On which Ali was really disappointed as no one didn't follow his order.

@@murtazaraza7605 Prophet did not say that. That hadith is a weak narration and it is most likely a fabrication. There is nothing in Quran explicity about Ali. If God had a such an intention about him, he surely explicitly would reveal it.
Another prophecy of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him came true when he predicted that after him would rule the 'Caliphate of Prophecy' for thirty years. 2 of Abu Bakr, 10 of Umar, 12 of Uthman, 5.5 of Ali and Al Hassan ibn Ali ruled for 6 months before ceding his rule to Muawiyah (May Allah be pleased with them all). Also Al Hassan was prophesied by the Prophet to be a leader who would bring peace to two large dissenting groups of Muslims which did happen!
Prophecied in what books written by people who killed Ali and hussain i have deeply read the Islamic history and realized that most of the people who were corrupt and killers end up writing their own history for Islam most of it is one sided doesn't really matter if you are shia or sunni

@@sourweed9818 where you physically present at the time to fairly and justly assess the current of events of the time without any biases?! The truth of the matter is, we'll never fully know the nuances and details that affected each men to do what they did in that time of their lives. So calling one men or another unfit/wrong on the sole basis of hearsay is simply unrighteous and unwise. Only ALLAH swt knows the true motivators of men back then AND now, AND forever.

@Samtic people are the best. I am not denying that those things did not happen because of him. I know somewhat about the contribution of the Umayyads into the expansion of Islam. You should read my comment before replying like that. I am just not a big fan Muawiya, how he did not honor his agreement with Hassan.
A massively underrated “what if” in early medieval history is what if Ali ditched his famed and fabled clemency for once against the opportunistic Muaweeya.
absolutely, it is sad how the corruption of Uthman had such consequences, even to this day! It is however important to know that this divide is today used by wahabis and other extremist for political influence.
@@jafaral-badri8005 Things today would be wildly different, and on a wild guess, quite possibly Kharijites would be the second largest sect. At the same time, I think Islam would be a far more contained religion and the conquests of Umayyads would most likely be replaced by a strong sense of unity in a more limited area with Buddhism and Nestorianism quite possibly replacing Tengrism in Central Asia rather than Sunni Islam. All of these are parts of a huge “what if” though.
@@fogshadow9112 its because shiaism became something else. It calls upon calling to saints (ali (ra) and his family).

Shiaism is not merely a political difference but a theological difference as well.
@@fogshadow9112 If we look at history, we see that you rafidah are at the forefront of oppression against Muslims. It was Ibn al-Alqami the rafidhi who was working for the abbasids in Baghdad but secretly inviting the mongols to invade, which resulted in millions of Muslims being kiIIed and Baghdad being destroyed. Then if we look at today, it was the rafidah that asked America to invade Iraq which resulted again in about a million Muslims being kiIIed. America replaced saddam with an extremist rafidhi government that went around killing Sunnis just for having the names of the sahaba. The crimes of American funded shia militias in Iraq is well known. This is your history, oppression and treachery, allying with anyone you can against Muslims.
@@RocketAfriqueZA There was no Shia back then. Umar was killed by a Persian majoosi, uthman and Ali were killed by muslims. Thousands of muslims were killed by Yazid in makkah. The ones who killed hussein were from Kufa. They sent him letters to invite him there and they betrayed him. The same kufan joined Zaid bin Hussein but abandoned him to his death alone. When you revolt and fight against the government, you pay dearly. Iran is an example, people are killed everyday because they want regime change. It was political reason back then and even now in Iran, so don't try to bring theology into this matter
@@nasserm.nasser5087Brother he didnt mean Shia, he meant the Kufans who were Yemenite tribes migrants to the city of Kufa the capital of Ali which was initially built by Caliph Umar to act as defensible position in case Persians regained strength and tried to attack Arabia, there wil be defensible position on Euphrates in Kufa. Those Kufans who fought under Ali are the same ones who pushed for arbitration with Mua'wiya when Imam Ali advised against it and tehy rejected Imam Ali's select judges such as Abdullah ibn Abbas, in favor of Abu Musa Al Ashaari because of his Yemenite background, Abu Musa didnt like Imam Ali, he helped rule Arbitration in favor of Mu'awiya. Those same Yemenites imbeciles, learned of their grave mistake for losing face against Mu'awiya, urged Imam Ali to do against his staying true to his words, the words they initially forced him to take arbitration. They rebelled against him as Kharijites, those same People of Kufa lied to his son Imam Alhusayn calling on him to come to Kufa then switched side to the Umayyads killing him and his family after pledging support. Those Kufans are imbeciles and beyond imagination liars and despicables, then they felt shameful for betrying Alhusayn, they called upon Zaid ibn Ali to rebell and same thing betrayed him, and he was killed by Umayyads, the same happend to Muhammad Al Nafs Alzakiya, and rest of sons of Ahlu Albayt. The Yemenites were treacherous people except for few. Unfortunaty mosy of their descendants are Shia of Najaf and Karbala.

Uthman fought his own clan before with prophet Muhammad ﷺ before they become Muslims. Moreover, some of the Umayyad governors were appointed before the Caliphate of Uthman so I don't think that he wanted to strengthen his family power depending on his previous deeds.
Well, before omar passed away , he called for the next would be caliph to sack all the appointees in governing yet othman didn't do that , also the corruption of moauya was not new , cuz in the timeline of omar there was an incident were he caught Abu sufian having alot of coins and expensive jewelry when he returned from Syria, then omar called Abu sufian a lier and a thief like his son who stole Muslim wealth in Syria, TBH othman was weak he didn't had the strength, honesty and justice sense as Ali or omar.

Thank you for the marvelous narration. I couldn't agree more with the content of this nicely and neatly made video. Nevertheless, it's worth mentioning , as a sunni muslim myself, that the vast majority of sunnies prefer Ali to Muaawya. They are even incomparable from religious ranking point of view favouring Ali of course. The sunni public and commoners, at the time , subdued to Mouawya for the greater good of the Islamic dynasty rather than a matter of personal preference since he had the upper hand and he hadn't challenged the Islamic doctrine found by the prophet , neither did Ali of course, plus not wasting human resources and man power on interior conflict. The way we approach this dispute is that this is entirely political not religious. It's safe to say that Sunnis are pro-Ali and would stand by Ali by basic sunni islamic teachings. However, one way or another, nowadays shiite muslims blame the whole issue on Abu Bakr and Omar Ibn Al khattab, long before the assasination of Uthman , as they believe Ali takes precendence in succeding the prophet over the former two. To make the long story short, we ,Sunnis, are by no means antagonists to Ali. To the contrary, if it were left to us , by sunni doctrine, we would have chosen Ali over Muawya. Thank you again for the mind and soul enriching work of history you present to your audience. My favourite channel on any social media platform.
I disagree strongly to your view on Muawiyah and Umayyads. He was the main person who changed the ruling style, from a type of ruling which chose the ruler based on his merit to a hereditary one. Not to mention, his and his family's approach towards non Arabs and especially non-Muslims was very controversial and racist at best. Interestingly, the only Umayyad rulers who moved from this approach, which to some extent had its roots in pre-Islamic Arabia, was Umar II, who ironically was poisoned by Umayyads themselves. The Umayyads used this approach as a way to extort non-Muslims by increasing their Jizya, which made them rich while making the other parts of empire poor. Moreover, they used this extorted money to expand the empire, in order to add more non-Muslim subjects (and making themselves richer), without any consideration towards over-expansion, something that concerned Umar I very much.
Well said, an accusation Shias ever so endlessly make that "Sunnis hate Ali", may Allah be pleased with him, and all the companions, including Muawiyah, and may Allah grant them the highest degree in heaven for their great service to Allah and His prophet peace be upon him.
Truly great take on what objectively happened to cause the rift; not a religious or political slant to it. Everyone was in the wrong, and so it split four great sects of Islam.
As someone born and raised in a shia community these videos thought me alot and I could see both perspectives from a neutral point of view. Thank you Kings and generals for another great video

as a sunni muslim i would have prefered an ali's victory, but instead of decisevely finishing the job at Siffin and defeating mouawiya in position of power he was too pious and magnanimous but infortunatly this could be fatal as it was for julus ceaser, the abassids who claim the heretage of ali will show no mercy by killing all of the males of the ommayade dinasty.
I don't think the Abbasid claimed the heritage of Ali (may god be pleased with him) they claimed the leader of their movement to be someone from the prophet family, that's why a good portion of their supporters thought a descendant of Ali will be Caliph, and to appease these supporters and to kill any chance of rebellion from the Ummayyads (not Ayubbids which is Salah Aldin' dynasty)
just being muslim is enough, ali was the second muslim and muawiya accepted islam when there was no other choice, on the conquest of mecca. i'm a sunni muslim and for me he was the greatest among the prophet's companions.
@@Aliha1d3r actually Sunni is not someone who accepted Muawiyah as the Caliph.

that hadith of Ammar being killed by a wicked band of men is in Sahih Bukhari which is the most popular sunni book of hadith and this narration has been approved by all
From Some sources that i can trust, i found that, The group of people who murdered or assassinated Uthman is the same group which assassinated Ali This was the first major political issue in early islamic conquest, not a religion issue but political one
if only people could understand Ali and follow his orders things would have been very good today. and also No one could beat him in a dual that's why they attacked him from back when he was praying.
The Main reason as to why Ali faced so Much opposition was that he like the Prophets & Their Successors before him was on a reforming mission & at that point in time in History the General State of the Muslim Community was that it had gotten used to Wrong & corrupted ways in Matters pertaining to religion & worldly life. Here he embarked upon a reforming mission upon assuming the Office - which was his duty & this upset the status quo as well as vested interests because it upset a unity based on falsehood. This led to so much conflict & rebellion resulting in splitting of families with brothers choosing differing sides like for instance the 2 sons of Khalid-ibn-al-Waleed. Abd-ul-Rahman-ibn-Khalid-bin-Walid on Muawiyas Side & Al-Muhajir-ibn-Khalid-bin-Waleed on Alis Side - Brother fought brother. If he(Ali) Wanted he could have spared all this bloodshed by compromising & continuing with the corrupt ways of his predecessors, yet he gave importance to his duty no matter the cost. Hence Ali Earned such a Lofty Status on Facing such adversity in the pursuit of his duties.

Many historical inaccuracies in this video. Biggest one which I'll correct is that Caliph Hassan ibn Ali didn't give power to Amir Muawiyah due to any kind or pressure or threat, rather he did it willingly from a standpoint of utmost magnanimity and asceticism. He gives a beffiting response to the propoganda in his own striking words: "Al-Hasan said: “The skulls of the Arabs were in my hands, they would make peace with whom I make peace and they would fight whom I fight, I left it all to seek the face of God and to stop bloodshed among Muslims .” [Source: al-Baladhuri in Ansab al-Ashraf 3/49]
Excellent correction. Al Hasan and Muawiyah came to a mutual agreement. Hasan was not pressured, but rather feared that bloodshed would increase and so deemed it would be better if Muawiyah was to be negotiated with. Hasan would rule the caliphate and then Muawiyah would rule after him
Yes, but you didn't mention what Muwaiya did, after the agreement and he become Caliphate, Muwiya said: Hasan Ibn Ali's agreement is under my foot! Muwiya is simply a non-religious and hypocrite person part of the agreement was that not to allow his son to become caliphate, but in reality he gave it to his son Yazeed ibn Muwaiya, this is part of Muwiya's dirty plan
Your so called correction is literally just a sunni biased perspective. Let neutrals tell history without being tainted by personal beliefs. The sunni narrative is NOT the only point of view that deserves to be told.
It was fully accepted by the scholars of Ahlus Sunnah that in the battles between Hz. Ali KW and Muawiya R.A , it was Ali R.A who was right and the truth was always with him.
When the kharijites rebelled against Ali and rebuked him by saying: “authority belongs to God alone and not to you” he refuted them by saying: “These are words of truth intended for falsehood”.
Today every one says Mola (Master) Ali & maximum Islamic commentary are filled with Ali's praise ,his knowledge, his bravery in the battle field etc from his childhood to his martyrdom....Barely a single narration is found for Muawiah...
Mu’awiya has conquered the world. His father Soufiane converted just before Muhamad took over Makkah. His mother ate the liver of Hamza. And their son (Mu’awiyah) became bigger then Ceasar. Their family was more successful than Muahamd’s.
Ali was obviusly unfit for rule. He couldn't even control his own men yet, how was he going to control the entire caliphate. He also recruited the murderers of the third rightly guided caliph, Uthman, into his army, which was already the main reason for the problem between him and Muawiya. Againist to the requests of Muawiyah, he always avoided punishing them. Eventually His death came from them.

there are some bigs point events missing in this video Laylat al-Harir : Laylat al-Harir was a rough night during the battle of Siffin. The armies of Imam Ali (a) and Mu'waiya fought in that night and many soldiers of both sides were killed. According to al-Minqari, in that night, there was no sound heard except the sound of hitting the swords which was more terrifying in the hearts of men than the sound of thunder or horrifying fall of mountains.[1] Ibn Miskawayh described that night, "They fought in that night, so hard that spears broke and no arrow was left in quivers and then they began fighting with swords."[2] In Laylat al-Harir, the soldiers of Imam Ali (a) were close to victory, until Ash'ath rose among al-Kindis, gave a sermon and with a peace-making tone, asked for stopping more bloodshed. According to hadiths, as soon as Mu'awiya was informed about the sermon of Ash'ath, ordered to put the copies of the Qur'an on the spears.[3] Arbitration : hen the army of Mu'awiya was about to be defeated because of the attacks made by Malik al-Ashtar, Mu'awiya asked 'Amr b. al-'As for advice.[4] By the suggestion of 'Amr b. al-'As and the order of Mu'awiya, people of Syria put volumes of the Qur'an on their spears, shouting: "O' people of Iraq! Let God be the arbiter between us". According to some accounts, they also shouted: "O' Arab people! Think about your women and daughters. If you die, who is going to fight the Romans, Turks and the Persians?"[5] They thereby asked for ending the war. Imam Ali (a) ordered his army to continue the war, but most people in his army wanted to accept the arbitration. Thus Imam Ali (a) had to accept the arbitration.[6] Imam Ali (a) proposed Abd Allah b. Abbas or Malik al-Ashtar as his arbiter, and proposed Ahnaf b. Qays as a second or third arbiter, but some people did not accept his suggestions, and imposed Abu Musa al-Ash'ari to Imam Ali (a) as an arbiter. And people of Syria elected 'Amr b. al-'As as their representative for arbitration.[7] The two arbiters decided that 'Amr b. al-'As announces the removal of Mu'awiya from power, and Abu Musa al-Ash'ari announces the removal of Ali b. Abi Talib (a) from power, leaving the election of the Caliph to a council. 'Amr b. al-'As asked Abu Musa to announce the result of the arbitration ahead of him. Thus Abu Musa al-Ash'ari announced the removal of Imam Ali (a) from power, but when it came to 'Amr b. al-'As, instead of announcing the removal of Mu'awiya from power, he confirmed the dismissal of Imam Ali (a) by Abu Musa, and appointed Mu'awiya as the Caliph. After this, there was a quarrel between these two arbiters and they cursed each other.[8] 1.Ibn Muzāḥim, Waqʿat ṣiffīn, p. 475. 2.Ibn Miskawayh, Tajārub al-umam, vol. 1, p. 535. 3.Ibn Muzāḥim, Waqʿat ṣiffīn, p. 480-481; Dīnawarī, al-Akhbār al-ṭiwāl, p. 188-189. 4.Ibn Abī l-Ḥadīd, Sharḥ nahj al-balāgha, vol. 2, p. 210. 5.Ibn Muzāḥim, Waqʿat ṣiffīn, p. 478. 6.Ibn Muzāḥim, Waqʿat ṣiffīn, p. 490. 7.Ibn Aʿtham, al-Futūḥ, vol. 4, p. 197-198. 8.Ibn Muzāḥim, Waqʿat ṣiffīn, p. 545.
One thing you forgot to mention, which is why the arbitration failed. After the verdict would be issued, both arbiters were supposed, on the behalf of their followers, to remove their leaders (ali and muawiyya ) from power and give the council of shura, the companions and leaders, the right to decide the new caliph. Musa started first, removing ali, but then amr did not, and demanded that the council accept muawiyya thus as the new caliph, even though by most sources muawiyya had not openly ordered anything similar, which is why ali left. Would have been nice also if you spoke a bit about the other factions (mu'tazila and murjia) because of their important role later.
I knew there was a mistake, studying Ali’s life I know how much of a righteous man he was and there is no way he refused to let go of his power just because he wanted to stay in power
Amr ibn as was sahabi which we respect but here he was the traitor as he talk with musa that we both will give athority to shura after that musa believe amr and after this you know litrally betrayed him and you can clearly see when muawiya amr ibne as the governor of egypt well prophet stated all sahabi the fitna of wealth come to you so ask allah for forgiveness

Thank God, it is a big honor and pride that I am a Shia Muslim, a follower of Imam Ali (p.b.u.h) the real and the legitimate successor of prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h), and not the hijacked powers and coup leaders. And plus that I am from decedent of Imam Ali through his som Imam Hussein (p.b.u.h)
The content was awesome as usual.But a bit correction expected to be made,the fellow of Sunni Islam strongly believe that Muawiyah's (ra.) way of ruling was 'Ijtehadi' (understandingly) wrong untill his ruling.
Wow so leading muslims into an all out war on the righteous caliphate and the cousin of the prophet and his son in law and killing tens of thousands of muslims is just a misunderstanding and ijtehad ??? You really need to check your religion man
Mu'awiyyah did NOT claim the caliphate after Uthmans death. He explicitively said that Ali is more deserving of the title, but that he wouldn't pledge allegiance until Uthmans killers were apprehended.
He had claimed the current Caliphate as illegitimate and so decided that he should be caliph. Muawiyya just wanted power and this was his opportunity to oust Uthman and gain an in.
But Hasan exposed Muawiyyah by gifting him the caliphate in a plate. Muawiyyah ruled 20 years after this and he didn't even did a single thing in the case Usman's death. And in the treaty it was written that Muawiya will not nominate any heir but he did it and broke the truce. And he gifted us Yazid and layed the groundwork for what is the reason of the Sunni Shia split which is known as Karbala
The evidence for that is the report narrated by Yahya ibn Sulaymk al-Ja'fi with a good chain of narration from Abu Muslim al-Khawlhi, who said to Mu'awiyah: "Are you disputing with 'Ali and thinking that you are like him? He said: "No, by Allah, I know that he is better than me and more entitled to this matter than me, but do you not know that 'Uthman was killed unlawfully and I am his cousin and the one who is seeking vengeance for his blood? So go to him and tell him: Let him hand over to me the killers of 'Uthmin, and I will follow him." They went to 'Ali and spoke to him, but he did not agree to hand them over?' According to another report, they went and spoke to him, and he said: "Let him swear allegiance first and leave these people for me to deal with them," but Mu'iwiyah refused
Abu Pikachu First of all You didn't gave the reference of this Hadith why do I believe that this Hadith has a healthy chain of narrations. One of the greatest Sunni Imams Ahmad bin Hambal had written in his book that first the followers of Muawiyyah in his rule tried to defame Ali and they abused Ali in their kutbas but they failed because of the Sahabas like Saad etc they showed the tabbiyeens that how great Ali was that why they failed and then tried to make Muawiyyah equal to Ali and they made plenty of fake Hadith for that. But the reality of Muawiyyah is that when he saw that Ammar is killed and it was already prophesied in Bukhari 2812 that the group who kill Ammar will be thrown to hell still Muawiya didn't stoped when it was clear that Ali was right according to the prophecy just because Muawiya wanted power. And as I have already said Hasan exposed Muawiyyah by gifting him the caliphate and exposed that Usman's death was just an excuse for Muawiya to came in power. When Muawiya came in power he had 20 years and he didn't did anything in the case of Usman's death which simply clears the image that it was just an excuse for Muawiya to gain power.
Unfortunately, those who succeeded to the Caliphate after the first four Caliphs were greatly lacking in character and leadership qualities. They did not have the moral or spiritual calibre one would expect of Muslim leadership. They were not able to wear down the pagan attitudes and habits of their tribes. None of the Umayyad and the 'Abbasid Caliphs, with the solitary exception of 'Umar ibn 'Abdul Aziz came fully up to the standard of Islam.
@@yehyaali4701 Umar ibn Abdulaziz is the 6th, because the 6 months that Hasan RA ruled are included in the Hadith that states that the Rashidun Caliphate would last 30 years

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.

You are right, my friend. I would recommend you look deeper into the history of Ali. During the Prophet’s lifetime he was the champion of Islam, their greatest warrior who was decisive in countless battles. But he was always a man of principle and morals first, never a conqueror.

@Idiris @Idiris the book of tabary, the third book, page 176, the hadith number: 6440. Umar says he ran away from the battle of uhud and ran to the mountain. he climbed the mountain so fast that he thought he is a goat.
Borther, someone who runs away like this from battles cannot be comparable with Imam Ali (A.S) the lion of Allah who lifted and broke the gate of kheybar.
Also this hadith about Umar is in your other books too such as dur al mansor.

I feel like the mention that a sizeable portion of Ali's army (In both Siffin and the battle of the camel shown in the previous video) were the rebels (Who would eventually become the Kharijites) who had originally taken up arms against Uthman and eventually had him killed is needed. Another point being that the three men who carried out the assassination attempts, were part of the Kharijite movement (The assassin of Ali having being a part of the Kharijite army who fought Ali at Nahrawan) and they viewed the 3 men (Ali, Muawyia and Amr) has heretics deserving to be killed. Also a small sidenote, Ali's son Al Hassan did assume the title of caliph for a short of time (and is considered to be the fifth rashidun caliph by some sources), but then ceded it to Muwayia, according to most Islamic sources to prevent further bloodshed in the Islamic world. Nonetheless another great video, keep up the awesome work!
@@ChevyChase301 No they didn't it was an internal affair unfortunately .
@@ChevyChase301 nope, the persians were essentially fully subsumed into the islamic world and the only rebel remnants were taking refuge in china. Those remenants later were defeated by the ummayyads.
The romans had their own problems and probably couldn't do much even if they had wanted to.
It's propaganda because those who protested against Uthman R.A were mostly companions . It's a propaganda from some factions of the Ahlus Sunnah but many accept this reality. It was due to the corrupt governors that most people protested against the government.
E.g Talha R.A is considered to be one of those who were part of the protest against Uthman R.A. and he was against Ali R.A in battle of camel.
sahih bukhari 2812
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 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.
This brings tears to my eyes. God have mercy on your subject
It’s more complicated than people think. Ali didn’t agree with the entirety of the caliphs but accepted peace as long as it prevented bloodshed. The conspiracy of killing Othman was large and the enemies of Ali were involved. When Othman was killed it was the same people who had a hand in his death who blaimed Ali. Later the people asked Ali to be caliph and he refused to take the position if they consider him just another “fourth” caliph. But when Ali saw things going south he finally agreed to take leadership.

A massively underrated “what if” in early medieval history is what if Ali ditched his famed and fabled clemency for once against the opportunistic Muaweeya.

@@jafaral-badri8005 Things today would be wildly different, and on a wild guess, quite possibly Kharijites would be the second largest sect. At the same time, I think Islam would be a far more contained religion and the conquests of Umayyads would most likely be replaced by a strong sense of unity in a more limited area with Buddhism and Nestorianism quite possibly replacing Tengrism in Central Asia rather than Sunni Islam.

There was no Shia back then. Umar was killed by a Persian majoosi, uthman and Ali were killed by muslims.

The ones who killed hussein were from Kufa. They sent him letters to invite him there and they betrayed him. The same kufan joined Zaid bin Hussein but abandoned him to his death alone.

Those Kufans who fought under Ali are the same ones who pushed for arbitration with Mua'wiya when Imam Ali advised against it and tehy rejected Imam Ali's select judges such as Abdullah ibn Abbas, in favor of Abu Musa Al Ashaari because of his Yemenite background, Abu Musa didnt like Imam Ali, he helped rule Arbitration in favor of Mu'awiya. Those same Yemenites imbeciles, learned of their grave mistake for losing face against Mu'awiya, urged Imam Ali to do against his staying true to his words, the words they initially forced him to take arbitration. They rebelled against him as Kharijites, those same People of Kufa lied to his son Imam Alhusayn calling on him to come to Kufa then switched side to the Umayyads killing him and his family after pledging support. Those Kufans are imbeciles and beyond imagination liars and despicables, then they felt shameful for betrying Alhusayn, they called upon Zaid ibn Ali to rebell and same thing betrayed him, and he was killed by Umayyads, the same happend to Muhammad Al Nafs Alzakiya, and rest of sons of Ahlu Albayt.

before they become Muslims. Moreover, some of the Umayyad governors were appointed before the Caliphate of Uthman so I don't think that he wanted to strengthen his family power depending on his previous deeds.
Well, before omar passed away , he called for the next would be caliph to sack all the appointees in governing yet othman didn't do that , also the corruption of moauya was not new , cuz in the timeline of omar there was an incident were he caught Abu sufian having alot of coins and expensive jewelry when he returned from Syria, then omar called Abu sufian a lier and a thief like his son who stole Muslim wealth in Syria, TBH othman was weak he didn't had the strength, honesty and justice sense as Ali or omar.

Many things I knew but didn't understand well enough, now all makes sense. Thank you Kings and Generals Team.
Thank you for the marvelous narration. I couldn't agree more with the content of this nicely and neatly made video. Nevertheless, it's worth mentioning , as a sunni muslim myself, that the vast majority of sunnies prefer Ali to Muaawya. They are even incomparable from religious ranking point of view favouring Ali of course. The sunni public and commoners, at the time , subdued to Mouawya for the greater good of the Islamic dynasty rather than a matter of personal preference since he had the upper hand and he hadn't challenged the Islamic doctrine found by the prophet , neither did Ali of course, plus not wasting human resources and man power on interior conflict. The way we approach this dispute is that this is entirely political not religious. It's safe to say that Sunnis are pro-Ali and would stand by Ali by basic sunni islamic teachings. However, one way or another, nowadays shiite muslims blame the whole issue on Abu Bakr and Omar Ibn Al khattab, long before the assasination of Uthman , as they believe Ali takes precendence in succeding the prophet over the former two. To make the long story short, we ,Sunnis, are by no means antagonists to Ali. To the contrary, if it were left to us , by sunni doctrine, we would have chosen Ali over Muawya. Thank you again for the mind and soul enriching work of history you present to your audience. My favourite channel on any social media platform.
I disagree strongly to your view on Muawiyah and Umayyads.
He was the main person who changed the ruling style, from a type of ruling which chose the ruler based on his merit to a hereditary one.
Not to mention, his and his family's approach towards non Arabs and especially non-Muslims was very controversial and racist at best. Interestingly, the only Umayyad rulers who moved from this approach, which to some extent had its roots in pre-Islamic Arabia, was Umar II, who ironically was poisoned by Umayyads themselves.
The Umayyads used this approach as a way to extort non-Muslims by increasing their Jizya, which made them rich while making the other parts of empire poor. Moreover, they used this extorted money to expand the empire, in order to add more non-Muslim subjects (and making themselves richer), without any consideration towards over-expansion, something that concerned Umar I very much.
Couldn't put it any better, that was a good overview of everything 👍🏻
Well said, an accusation Shias ever so endlessly make that "Sunnis hate Ali", may Allah be pleased with him, and all the companions, including Muawiyah, and may Allah grant them the highest degree in heaven for their great service to Allah and His prophet peace be upon him.

as a sunni muslim i would have prefered an ali's victory, but instead of decisevely finishing the job at Siffin and defeating mouawiya in position of power he was too pious and magnanimous but infortunatly this could be fatal as it was for julus ceaser, the abassids who claim the heretage of ali will show no mercy by killing all of the males of the ommayade dinasty.
I don't think the Abbasid claimed the heritage of Ali (may god be pleased with him) they claimed the leader of their movement to be someone from the prophet family, that's why a good portion of their supporters thought a descendant of Ali will be Caliph, and to appease these supporters and to kill any chance of rebellion from the Ummayyads (not Ayubbids which is Salah Aldin' dynasty)
The Abbasid caliphs are descended from “Abbas” the prophets uncle also Ali’s uncle, they’re not descended from Ali

From Some sources that i can trust, i found that,

This was the first major political issue in early islamic conquest, not a religion issue but political one
Yes, Uthman killed him, and they are Ali's killers as well
Great series, keenly waiting for the next episode
if only people could understand Ali and follow his orders things would have been very good today.
and also No one could beat him in a dual that's why they attacked him from back when he was praying.
True to that
The Main reason as to why Ali faced so Much opposition was that he like the Prophets & Their Successors before him was on a reforming mission & at that point in time in History the General State of the Muslim Community was that it had gotten used to Wrong & corrupted ways in Matters pertaining to religion & worldly life. Here he embarked upon a reforming mission upon assuming the Office - which was his duty & this upset the status quo as well as vested interests because it upset a unity based on falsehood. This led to so much conflict & rebellion resulting in splitting of families with brothers choosing differing sides like for instance the 2 sons of Khalid-ibn-al-Waleed. Abd-ul-Rahman-ibn-Khalid-bin-Walid on Muawiyas Side & Al-Muhajir-ibn-Khalid-bin-Waleed on Alis Side - Brother fought brother. If he(Ali) Wanted he could have spared all this bloodshed by compromising & continuing with the corrupt ways of his predecessors, yet he gave importance to his duty no matter the cost. Hence Ali Earned such a Lofty Status on Facing such adversity in the pursuit of his duties.
….very good how exactly? Also he was prty old at the time, being old and a veteran of many wars isnt very good fitness wise
@@grief6052 that is good for your physical health. What do you mean
@@greeninja2728 veterans of wars especially at the time always suffered from muscle pains, scars that didn’t heal correctly, joint problems from being hit constantly, its actually very well documented how as time went on generals began to fight less and less if they were planning for big conquests because the scars and muscle damage and even bone damage pile up overtime, you dont come out of a fight stronger physically and in your old age it really shows

Many historical inaccuracies in this video. Biggest one which I'll correct is that Caliph Hassan ibn Ali didn't give power to Amir Muawiyah due to any kind or pressure or threat, rather he did it willingly from a standpoint of utmost magnanimity and asceticism. He gives a beffiting response to the propoganda in his own striking words:
"Al-Hasan said: “The skulls of the Arabs were in my hands, they would make peace with whom I make peace and they would fight whom I fight, I left it all to seek the face of God and to stop bloodshed among Muslims .” [Source: al-Baladhuri in Ansab al-Ashraf 3/49]
Wrong. Muawiya was a power hungry dog, and he would have started a war to get the Calipha. Lanatullah alayhi.
Excellent correction. Al Hasan and Muawiyah came to a mutual agreement. Hasan was not pressured, but rather feared that bloodshed would increase and so deemed it would be better if Muawiyah was to be negotiated with. Hasan would rule the caliphate and then Muawiyah would rule after him
They did mention this in their video on the Shia-Sunni split, where they also covered the Battle of Karbala in greater detail.
Yes, but you didn't mention what Muwaiya did, after the agreement and he become Caliphate, Muwiya said: Hasan Ibn Ali's agreement is under my foot! Muwiya is simply a non-religious and hypocrite person part of the agreement was that not to allow his son to become caliphate, but in reality he gave it to his son Yazeed ibn Muwaiya, this is part of Muwiya's dirty plan
Your so called correction is literally just a sunni biased perspective. Let neutrals tell history without being tainted by personal beliefs. The sunni narrative is NOT the only point of view that deserves to be told.
Looks like I found a new favorite channel.
*For all who leaf through the comments, health to you and your loved ones.💖💖💖💖💖💖*
It was fully accepted by the scholars of Ahlus Sunnah that in the battles between Hz. Ali KW and Muawiya R.A , it was Ali R.A who was right and the truth was always with him.
When the kharijites rebelled against Ali and rebuked him by saying: “authority belongs to God alone and not to you” he refuted them by saying: “These are words of truth intended for falsehood”.
Mola Ali is lion of Allah being Sunni my ultimate devotion and support for Mola Ali A.S.
Dear . Well gathered History Data . Neutral & factual .upsetting but getting into core .
Thanks for wonderful presentation

Peace and Blessings on imam Ali a.s.
May ALLAH swt forgive our sins and allow us a place in jannah near Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.w and Ali a.s.
Incredible how you remain unbiased regarding such a divisive topic, no one is complaining in the comments this is amazing
So interesting to see how these things pan out
Yes I have been looking forward to this. The last long form Muslim Expansion videos should be Emmy Award winners.
Today every one says Mola (Master) Ali & maximum Islamic commentary are filled with Ali's praise ,his knowledge, his bravery in the battle field etc from his childhood to his martyrdom....Barely a single narration is found for Muawiah...
Mu’awiya has conquered the world. His father Soufiane converted just before Muhamad took over Makkah. His mother ate the liver of Hamza. And their son (Mu’awiyah) became bigger then Ceasar. Their family was more successful than Muahamd’s.
Ali was obviusly unfit for rule. He couldn't even control his own men yet, how was he going to control the entire caliphate. He also recruited the murderers of the third rightly guided caliph, Uthman, into his army, which was already the main reason for the problem between him and Muawiya. Againist to the requests of Muawiyah, he always avoided punishing them. Eventually His death came from them.

Laylat al-Harir :
Laylat al-Harir was a rough night during the battle of Siffin. The armies of Imam Ali (a) and Mu'waiya fought in that night and many soldiers of both sides were killed. According to al-Minqari, in that night, there was no sound heard except the sound of hitting the swords which was more terrifying in the hearts of men than the sound of thunder or horrifying fall of mountains.[1] Ibn Miskawayh described that night, "They fought in that night, so hard that spears broke and no arrow was left in quivers and then they began fighting with swords."[2] In Laylat al-Harir, the soldiers of Imam Ali (a) were close to victory, until Ash'ath rose among al-Kindis, gave a sermon and with a peace-making tone, asked for stopping more bloodshed. According to hadiths, as soon as Mu'awiya was informed about the sermon of Ash'ath, ordered to put the copies of the Qur'an on the spears.[3]
Arbitration :
hen the army of Mu'awiya was about to be defeated because of the attacks made by Malik al-Ashtar, Mu'awiya asked 'Amr b. al-'As for advice.[4] By the suggestion of 'Amr b. al-'As and the order of Mu'awiya, people of Syria put volumes of the Qur'an on their spears, shouting: "O' people of Iraq! Let God be the arbiter between us". According to some accounts, they also shouted: "O' Arab people! Think about your women and daughters. If you die, who is going to fight the Romans, Turks and the Persians?"[5] They thereby asked for ending the war. Imam Ali (a) ordered his army to continue the war, but most people in his army wanted to accept the arbitration. Thus Imam Ali (a) had to accept the arbitration.[6]
Imam Ali (a) proposed Abd Allah b. Abbas or Malik al-Ashtar as his arbiter, and proposed Ahnaf b. Qays as a second or third arbiter, but some people did not accept his suggestions, and imposed Abu Musa al-Ash'ari to Imam Ali (a) as an arbiter. And people of Syria elected 'Amr b. al-'As as their representative for arbitration.[7]
The two arbiters decided that 'Amr b. al-'As announces the removal of Mu'awiya from power, and Abu Musa al-Ash'ari announces the removal of Ali b. Abi Talib (a) from power, leaving the election of the Caliph to a council. 'Amr b. al-'As asked Abu Musa to announce the result of the arbitration ahead of him. Thus Abu Musa al-Ash'ari announced the removal of Imam Ali (a) from power, but when it came to 'Amr b. al-'As, instead of announcing the removal of Mu'awiya from power, he confirmed the dismissal of Imam Ali (a) by Abu Musa, and appointed Mu'awiya as the Caliph. After this, there was a quarrel between these two arbiters and they cursed each other.[8]

One thing you forgot to mention, which is why the arbitration failed. After the verdict would be issued, both arbiters were supposed, on the behalf of their followers, to remove their leaders (ali and muawiyya ) from power and give the council of shura, the companions and leaders, the right to decide the new caliph. Musa started first, removing ali, but then amr did not, and demanded that the council accept muawiyya thus as the new caliph, even though by most sources muawiyya had not openly ordered anything similar, which is why ali left. Would have been nice also if you spoke a bit about the other factions (mu'tazila and murjia) because of their important role later.
I knew there was a mistake, studying Ali’s life I know how much of a righteous man he was and there is no way he refused to let go of his power just because he wanted to stay in power
Amr ibn as was sahabi which we respect but here he was the traitor as he talk with musa that we both will give athority to shura after that musa believe amr and after this you know litrally betrayed him and you can clearly see when muawiya amr ibne as the governor of egypt well prophet stated all sahabi the fitna of wealth come to you so ask allah for forgiveness

@@williamrobert9898 Ali was chosen by Muslims after Usman as a caliph. Whereas Muawiya was just a powerthirsty governor who wanted to rule, used religion and revenge of Usman's death as a pretext and caused chaos in the Muslim world. If bringing justice to Usman was his priority, why didn't he punish his murderers after he got power?
@@ZahraAli-ev6hd Are you sure he didn't? I could've sworn K&G mentioned that Muawiya actually started many campaigns against them to the point where they actually fled westwards towards the land of the Maghreb

"The Prophethood will be among you as long as Allah wills, then he will eliminate it if he so wills. Then a Khilafah "Caliphate" on the model of Prophethood will prevail so long as Allah wills, then he will eliminate it if he so wills. Then there will be a biting monarchy as long as Allah wills, then he will eliminate it if he so wills. Then there will be an oppressive monarchy as long as Allah wills, then he will eliminate it if he so wills. Then a Khilafah "Caliphate" on the way of Prophethood will prevail and he kept silent." [Musnad of Imam Ahmad]
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) ended his Hadeeth with a glad tiding for the Ummah; which is the return of the Khilafah "Caliphate" upon the method of the Prophethood once again after the oppressive rule.

Thank God, it is a big honor and pride that I am a Shia Muslim, a follower of Imam Ali (p.b.u.h) the real and the legitimate successor of prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h), and not the hijacked powers and coup leaders. And plus that I am from decedent of Imam Ali through his som Imam Hussein (p.b.u.h)
The people of kufa are the only who killed ali
The content was awesome as usual.But a bit correction expected to be made,the fellow of Sunni Islam strongly believe that Muawiyah's (ra.) way of ruling was 'Ijtehadi' (understandingly) wrong untill his ruling.
This is just Wahabi doctrine about praising cursed Muawiah &calling him a Mijtahid .
Wow so leading muslims into an all out war on the righteous caliphate and the cousin of the prophet and his son in law and killing tens of thousands of muslims is just a misunderstanding and ijtehad ??? You really need to check your religion man
Mu'awiyyah did NOT claim the caliphate after Uthmans death. He explicitively said that Ali is more deserving of the title, but that he wouldn't pledge allegiance until Uthmans killers were apprehended.
He had claimed the current Caliphate as illegitimate and so decided that he should be caliph. Muawiyya just wanted power and this was his opportunity to oust Uthman and gain an in.
But Hasan exposed Muawiyyah by gifting him the caliphate in a plate. Muawiyyah ruled 20 years after this and he didn't even did a single thing in the case Usman's death. And in the treaty it was written that Muawiya will not nominate any heir but he did it and broke the truce. And he gifted us Yazid and layed the groundwork for what is the reason of the Sunni Shia split which is known as Karbala
LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
The evidence for that is the report narrated by Yahya ibn Sulaymk al-Ja'fi with a good chain of narration from Abu Muslim al-Khawlhi, who said to Mu'awiyah: "Are you disputing with 'Ali and thinking that you are like him? He said: "No, by Allah, I know that he is better than me and more entitled to this matter than me, but do you not know that 'Uthman was killed unlawfully and I am his cousin and the one who is seeking vengeance for his blood? So go to him and tell him: Let him hand over to me the killers of 'Uthmin, and I will follow him." They went to 'Ali and spoke to him, but he did not agree to hand them over?' According to another report, they went and spoke to him, and he said: "Let him swear allegiance first and leave these people for me to deal
with them," but Mu'iwiyah refused
Abu Pikachu
First of all
You didn't gave the reference of this Hadith why do I believe that this Hadith has a healthy chain of narrations.
One of the greatest Sunni Imams Ahmad bin Hambal had written in his book that first the followers of Muawiyyah in his rule tried to defame Ali and they abused Ali in their kutbas but they failed because of the Sahabas like Saad etc they showed the tabbiyeens that how great Ali was that why they failed and then tried to make Muawiyyah equal to Ali and they made plenty of fake Hadith for that.
But the reality of Muawiyyah is that when he saw that Ammar is killed and it was already prophesied in Bukhari 2812 that the group who kill Ammar will be thrown to hell still Muawiya didn't stoped when it was clear that Ali was right according to the prophecy just because Muawiya wanted power.
And as I have already said Hasan exposed Muawiyyah by gifting him the caliphate and exposed that Usman's death was just an excuse for Muawiya to came in power. When Muawiya came in power he had 20 years and he didn't did anything in the case of Usman's death which simply clears the image that it was just an excuse for Muawiya to gain power.
awesome episode and great analysis of events
Dr. Yasir Qadhi highlights this time period in his lecture on Karbala available on RUclips
Unfortunately, those who succeeded to the Caliphate after the first four Caliphs were greatly lacking in character and leadership qualities. They did not have the moral or spiritual calibre one would expect of Muslim leadership. They were not able to wear down the pagan attitudes and habits of their tribes. None of the Umayyad and the 'Abbasid Caliphs, with the solitary exception of 'Umar ibn 'Abdul Aziz came fully up to the standard of Islam.
True, that was prophesied by Muhammad PBUH
So true
That’s what Umar II is considered the 6th rightly guided caliph
@@yehyaali4701 Umar ibn Abdulaziz is the 6th, because the 6 months that Hasan RA ruled are included in the Hadith that states that the Rashidun Caliphate would last 30 years
That’s not true Sulayman bin abdul Malik was actually like Umar II
Thank you, I had no idea what the difference between Sunni and Shia Muslims was. Thank you for illuminating me.
The way you explain the Kharajite movement makes it sound like something a modern intelligence agency would think up to annoy an enemy state. Not that I'm necessarily arguing with that idea.

Amazing historical video
As a Muslim of the Shafi'i school of thought( Sunni), I consider only the Rashidun caliphate as the only legitimate Caliphate in our history. All the others were corrupt and lived for this material world and introduced many devious and harmful practices.
sahih bukhari 2812
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 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.

This was a great video! You should do more videos on ancient India!
This somewhat reminds me of the civil war between Caesar and the Senate. It is miraculous that the Sassanids and Byzantines didn't make any gains during this civil war, or that the Gauls didn't rise up when the Romans were going at each other
Caliphate were too powerful to conquared and importantly Caliphate army already destroyed the backbone of both sassanids and Byzantines
Sassanids no longer existed and the romans were still reeling from the conquest
The Romans tried and gathered an army, but Mu’awiyah wrote them a letter saying he would reconcile with Ali and unite against them if they tried to invade, at that point the Romans got scared and abandoned their plan
Constans II reclaimed armenia for a while and forced mauwiyah for tribute but he was just fresh out from his defeat at mast , Constans Ii was smart emperor and knew his limits so he didn't push for more , he mostly used the respite to focus on the west defeated the Slavic draguvites and creating the first themes
