  • Sunnis and Shiites When Muhammad Died in 622 AD, There Was Debate Among His Followers Over Who Should Replace Him As the Leader of the Umma, the Islamic Community
    Sunnis and Shiites When Muhammad died in 622 AD, there was debate among his followers over who should replace him as the leader of the umma, the Islamic community. Abu Bakr, Muhammad’s father-in-law, was chosen as his successor. Shiites, however, hold that Muhammad had promised leadership to Ali, his cousin and son-in-law (Ali was married to Muhammad's daughter, Fatimah) and his first male follower. Ali was still rather young, and Shiites hold that he allowed Abu Bakr to claim leadership to avoid conflict in the community. Ali bided his time, and when Umar (Abu Bakr’s successor) died he was a leading nominee to become the new caliph, though he was passed over again in favor of Uthman. When Uthman was assassinated, Ali finally became caliph. Conflict immediately broke out between Ali and other Muslims, including Muawiya, the governor of Syria. These opponents of Ali wanted him to hand over the assassins of Uthman. Ali did not, or could not, do this. The Islamic community became divided between supporters and opponents of Ali. The word Shiite comes from this period and is derived from shia, which means “party” or “faction” (of Ali). In 661 AD, Ali was murdered during prayers. Muawiya took over as caliph. He made Ali’s eldest son, Hasan, promise to not claim the caliphate and to retire from public life. Muawiya, however, was not from the family of Muhammad, but instead from the powerful Umayyad family that had long opposed Muhammad. In addition, he proclaimed his son as his successor, creating a hereditary dynasty in breach of Islamic tradition.

  • Emergence of the Umayyads the Umayyad Dynasty Was One of The
    Emergence of the Umayyads The Umayyad dynasty was one of the main clans of the Quraysh and the second of the four major Islamic caliphates recognized after the demise of Muhammad (peace be upon him). It can be said that Uthman–the third Rightly Guided Caliph, was the first Umayyad caliph as he was from the same dynasty. When Hadhrat ‘Ali became the caliph, there was some sort of disagreement between him and Hadhrat Mu‘awiyah. In 658 C.E. the Syrians accepted Mu‘awiyah as their caliph and in the same year he gained control of Egypt, then subdued Iraq and afterwards established himself as caliph. He is credited with raising a highly trained army of Syrian soldiers, which was used to expand Muslim authority east into Khurasan and west into North Africa. In 660 C.E/40 A.H. Hadhrat Mu ̒awiyah bin Sufyan was proclaimed as the caliph at a place called Iliya (Jerusalem). Damascus which was the seat of the provincial government now emerged as the capital of the newly formed empire, though at that time the new regime very much circumscribed. After the demise of Hadhrat Ali, Iraq declared his son Hadhrat Hasan as his successor. Hadhrat Hasan remained more at home and had very early given up (abdicated) in favour of Mu ̒awiyah to live a life of peace in Madinah. The capital fixed by Hadhrat Ali at Kufa was now shifted to Damascus by Mu ̒awiyah. With the passage of time Mu‘awiyah strongly established himself on the throne and turned his attention toward propagating and spreading the message of Islam.

His reign, 641-668, was the first reign of a Byzantine Emperor where the entire reign was subject to Arab raids and invasions. Constans II also had to contend with the Slavs in Thessalonica and Greece and the Lombards in Italy. To complicate matters more, Constans II was forced to cope with the religious division between the eastern and western churches due to Monothelitism in the East.

  • CAMPAIGNS UNDER CALIPH UTHMAN R.A Reconquest of Egypt
    CAMPAIGNS UNDER CALIPH UTHMAN R.A Reconquest of Egypt With the death of Umar and the disposal of 'Amr ibn al-'As from the governorship of Egypt, the Byzantines seized Alexandria, thinking it to be the right time to take action. Uthman again sent 'Amr ibn al-'As to defend Egypt and made him commander-in-chief of Egypt. Conquest of North Africa Abdullah ibn Saad the governor of Egypt felt that a regular campaign should be undertaken for the conquest of North Africa where the Byzantine influence was strong. Uthman gave him permission after considering it in Majlis al Shura and a force of 10,000 soldiers was sent as reinforcement. The King Gregory was defeated and killed in the battle. After the battle the people of North Africa sued for peace and they agreed to pay an annual tribute. Instead of annexing North Africa, the Muslims preferred to make it a vassal state (allied protectorate). First Muslim invasion of Iberian Peninsula (Spain) According to the general books of Islamic history, the conquest of Spain is attributed to Tariq ibn- Ziyad and Musa bin Nusairin 711 - 712, in the time of the Umayyad Caliph, al-Walid I. However, Spain was first invaded some sixty years earlier during the caliphate of Uthman. When North Africa had been duly conquered by Abdullah ibn Saad, two of his generals were commissioned to invade the coastal areas of Spain by sea. An Arab force landed in Spain, and succeeded in conquering the coastal areas of Al-Andalus.. Presumably the Muslims established some colonies on the coast of Spain.

She used to sit with the other women and transmit the knowledge that she had received from the Prophet SAW long after he had died. Although she was still very young, Aisha participated in them all, bringing water for the Muslims warriors, and helping to look after the wounded. The issue of Aisha's age at the time she was married to Muhammad has been of interest since the earliest days of Islam. Truly such a thing is in God's sight an enormity. Shia believe that Ali had been chosen to lead by Muhammad; Sunni maintain that the community chose Abu Bakr, and did so in accordance with Muhammad's wishes. Yet no claims of this sort were raised for hundreds and hundreds of years, whether by the pagan Arabs, the Romans, or any of the subsequent societies, until very recently.

    Uthman ibn Affan (ra): Part 2 ‘Uthman (ra)’s contributions span thousands of pages, but here we focus on how his virtues .ﷺ tie to significant moments in his life, especially with the Prophet Bay’at ur-Ridwan (The Pledge of Ridwan) and the companions (ra) were on the way to ﷺ At Hudaybiyyah, when the Prophet Makkah expecting Hajj, they were instead given a treaty. ‘Uthman (ra) was sent to Makkah as an ambassador to try to negotiate with Quraysh. The people of Makkah trusted and loved ‘Uthman (ra) before Islam. ‘Uthman (ra) negotiates on behalf of the Muslims and he is held back in Makkah. They held him up by delaying these negotiations. A rumor gets back to the Muslims that ‘Uthman (ra) and the companions take a pledge of death -- a ﷺ has been killed. At this, the Prophet pledge to march towards Makkah to death because of the murder of ‘Uthman (ra). Allah (SWT) says, َ َ َ َ {ﻟّﻘَ ْﺪ ﺭَ ِﺿ َﻲ ﺍﻟﻠـّﻪُ ﻋَ ِﻦ ﺍﻟْﻤُﺆْﻣِﻨِﻴ َﻦ ﺇ ِ ْﺫ ﻳ ُﺒَﺎﻳ ِﻌُﻮﻧ َ َﻚ ﺗ َ ْﺤ َﺖ ﺍﻟ ّﺸ َﺠﺮَﺓِ ﻓَﻌَﻠ ِ َﻢ ﻣَﺎ ﻓِﻲ ﻗُﻠ ُﻮﺑ ِﻬِ ْﻢ ﻓَﺄﻧﺰَ َﻝ ﺍﻟ َّﺴ ِﻜﻴﻨَﺔَ ﻋَﻠ َﻴْﻬِ ْﻢ ﻭَﺃ َﺛ َﺎﺑ َﻬُ ْﻢ ﻓَﺘْ ًﺤﺎ ﻗَﺮِﻳﺒًﺎ} Certainly was Allah pleased with the believers when they pledged allegiance to you, [O Muhammad], under the tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, so He sent down tranquillity upon them and rewarded them with an imminent conquest [Surah al-Fath, Ayah 18] told those 1400 people who took the pledge with him, “you are the best ﷺ The Prophet counted ‘Uthman ﷺ people on the face of the Earth.” Just like at Badr when the Prophet (ra) as one of the people of Badr despite him not being able to participate in the battle, here clasped both of hands and counted ‘Uthman (ra) as one of the companions ﷺ the Prophet who pledged.
