Hadrat Alî is a foundation pillar <strong>of</strong> Islam. He is <strong>the</strong> leader <strong>of</strong><br />

those fighters and heroes who spread Islam. During <strong>the</strong> most<br />

difficult, <strong>the</strong> most horrendous, <strong>the</strong> darkest moments <strong>of</strong><br />

Rasûlullah’s Holy Wars, he rushed forward like a lion, thus<br />

pleasing <strong>the</strong> Prophet <strong>of</strong> Allah and rescuing Islam and Muslims<br />

from dangerous situations. Islam’s enemies do not like hadrat Alî,<br />

who was a lion <strong>of</strong> Allah. True Muslims, who are called Ahl assunna,<br />

love him. Every Sunnite Muslim’s heart is full with love <strong>of</strong><br />

hadrat Alî. Scholars <strong>of</strong> Ahl as-sunna inform unanimously that<br />

love <strong>of</strong> Ahl-i-Bayt is a sign that one will die as a Believer. Then,<br />

<strong>the</strong> appellation Alevî would befit <strong>the</strong> Ahl as-sunna. This blessed<br />

name belongs to <strong>the</strong> Ahl as-sunna. It is property <strong>of</strong> Ahl as-sunna.<br />

Zindiqs, who are enemies <strong>of</strong> Islam, are stealing this sacred name<br />

Alevî from <strong>the</strong> Ahl as-sunna. They are trying to hide <strong>the</strong>mselves<br />

under this valuable name.<br />

O our bro<strong>the</strong>rs who are called Alevî! Be conscious <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> value<br />

<strong>of</strong> your name. A person who loves this name sincerely, who knows<br />

what this name means, and who realizes <strong>the</strong> high honor contained<br />

in this name, will also love <strong>the</strong> Ahl as-sunna, who are <strong>the</strong> real and<br />

true owners <strong>of</strong> this name! The only true and sincere lovers <strong>of</strong><br />

hadrat Alî and <strong>the</strong> truthful followers <strong>of</strong> that exalted imâm are<br />

scholars <strong>of</strong> Ahl as-sunna. Then, a person who wishes to be Alevî<br />

has to learn hadrat Alî’s way by reading books written by scholars<br />

<strong>of</strong> Ahl as-sunna. A Muslim who learns hadrat Alî’s way well, will<br />

see easily that some books and magazines being written under <strong>the</strong><br />

designation Alevî are wrong and heretical.<br />

38- “The fitna and mischief caused by Mu’âwiya himself, by his<br />

children and grandchildren, by his kith and kin, by his <strong>of</strong>ficials and<br />

supporters, had <strong>the</strong>ir evil effects not only in <strong>the</strong>ir time but<br />

throughout centuries. Mu’âwiya, especially, appointed his son<br />

(Yezîd), who was an alcoholic, a dissolute idiot, a next heir to <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong>fice <strong>of</strong> caliphate, (although he was aware <strong>of</strong> his bad habits), thus<br />

causing a nuisance to Muslims,” he says.<br />

Cevdet Paşa also is influenced by <strong>the</strong>se statements and says,<br />

“This was one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> greatest mistakes Mu’âwiya made.” On <strong>the</strong><br />

o<strong>the</strong>r hand, in Qisâs-i-Enbiyâ, he treats <strong>the</strong> matter quite<br />

impartially, as follows:<br />

“Hadrat Mu’âwiya was considering to dismiss Mughîra from<br />

governorship <strong>of</strong> Kûfa. Upon hearing about this, Mughîra went to<br />

Damascus, saw Yezîd, and said to him, ‘The greater ones <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

As-hâb and <strong>the</strong> Qoureish are dead now. Their sons are alive. You<br />

are <strong>the</strong> most superior <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m and you know <strong>the</strong> Sunna and<br />
