ABU TALIB The faithful of Quraysh
deeds and the men; where you find that some of the historians called the year when
Moawiya seized the rule for himself alone as the year of the unity because he
separated the umma into fighting groups that didnt know how to agree with each other
if they tried to agree! Then he left the umma after his death to separate into more groups
during the reign of each caliph. The author gave many examples about the plans of this
separation until he said in p.188: No one is more deviate and more ignorant than the
historians, who called the year forty-one of hijra as the year of the unity because it was
the year when Moawiya appropriated the caliphate for himself without letting anyone
participate with him for the first age of Islam didnt face any year, in which the umma
separated as it separated in this year or dispersed as what happened in this year. He
went on showing Moawiyas separative doings, which crumbled the tenacious Islamic
unity and threatened its strong pillars. The Muslims still pick the bitter fruits of that dark
age and still drink from its turbid water, in which those, who dont live except in the
infected environment, fish and hold the pick of destruction and walk in the same devious
way that Moawiya walked in. Aj-Jahidh had a valuable word concerning this point, in
which the mercenary pens had played their round widely. We think that we have to quote
it here because it explains the subject with evidences. He said in his thesis about the
Umayyads in p.293-294 after relating some of the events that paved the way for
Moawiya to seize the caliphate of the great Islamic umma: Then Moawiya sat
firmly on the throne and overcame the rest of the shura and all the Muslims; the
Muhajireen and the Ansar (Muhajireen: the first Muslims, who emigrated from Mecca to
Medina. Ansar: the people of Medina, who believed in the Prophet and assisted him and
his companions), in the year, which they called as the year of the unity. It was not a year
of unity but it was a year of separation, subdual, compulsion and surmounting. It was the
year, in which the imamate was changed into hereditary rule and the caliphate into
Caesarean position. His conduct was a combination of deviation and debauchery. He kept
on his sins until he denied the tradition of the Prophet openly and contradicted his verdict
about the illegitimate child and what had to be decided about the adulteress in spite of the
consensus of the umma that Sumayya (Ziyads mother, whom Abu Sufyan committed
adultery with) was not Abu Sufyans wife and so Moawiya was to be considered as
unbeliever rather than to be considered just as dissolute. Killing Hujr bin Adiy, donating
the revenue of Egypt to Amr bin al-Aass, the homage of the dissolute Yazeed
(Moawiyas son), appropriating the booties, choosing the walis according to fancy and
