ABU TALIB The faithful of Quraysh
Could we say anything after this saying of Moawiya, whom the mention of the great
Prophet (s) on the minarets hurt him bitterly and pierced his mind like the arrow whereas
he controlled the affairs of the Muslims and extorted their rights under the name of the
Islamic caliphate, which he changed into unjust monarchy? How could we be astonished
at a man or a saying that made al-Mugheera, who was an adulterer and perfidious,[35] so
angry to a degree that his son noticed the signs of his anger as if something important
happened to them or to their business although that nothing would affect al-Mugheera
other than deposing him from a position or losing some money? But in spite of his
wickedness he couldnt tolerate the blasphemy of Moawiya and his defaming the
Prophet (s). We dont have to waste the time in tracking Moawiyas sayings and
doings, with which he resisted the Prophet (s) and contradicted him intendedly and that
would make Moawiya out of the sphere of Islam. Islam is belief, saying and doing.
Moawiya contradicted the all without being satisfied with one side away from the
others. If we follow the pen to track everything, we will go far away from the subject but
we think it is better to let the reader refer to al-Ghadeer vol.10, which has a wonderful
conclusive discussion. It mentions many of Moawiyas breaches, which he committed
intendedly and insistingly with bitter challenge and sarcastic mockery. The reasons
behind that were latent spite, inherited polytheism, opportunist policy and barefaced
enmity that he had inherited from the Umayyad house and from the polluted pre-Islamic
environment against the honored Hashemite house with its great guiding leaders and
chiefs. That dark age passed to be replaced with a darker one. An age came and cursing
Ali became a rubric, which the fancies tried the best to made firm in the hearts. If once the
public speaker forgot to curse Ali (s), he would be taken from every side by shouting and
crying of people: The Sunna! The Sunna! He would know then what a mistake he did and
what a Sunna he left! Moawiya had engraved in every heart of every Umayyad,
whether in lineage or in tendency, this word, which would make the mountains crack and
the heavens split, with which the speakers had to end their speeches of the Fridays: O
Allah, Abu Turab unbelieved in Your religion and kept people away from Your way, so
curse him with lethal curses and torture him with painful torture![36] It was not removed
from the hearts or forgotten by the mouths except during the reign of Omar bin Abdul
Aziz, the ascetic caliph. But between the two ages there were many shameful sins and
crimes and dark events that left bad consequences, changed the history and darkened
