Yazid bin Muawiya Remembered in Makkah

11th May 2007, in his Friday sermon from the holy city of Makkah, a few feet from the door of the Ka'bah, where the consciousness of the presence of Allah should be felt at heart, the leader of the congregation emphasised the need for being bound by an allegiance to an "Imam" (a ruler) even if he is vicious. He claimed that the Prophet has said, whoever dies without being bound by an allegiance to an "Imam" (a ruler), dies the death of ignorance. On 11th May 2007, in his Friday sermon from the holy city of Makkah, a few feet from the door of the Ka'bah, where the consciousness of the presence of Allah should be felt at heart, the leader of the congregation emphasised the need for being bound by an allegiance to an "Imam" (a ruler) even if he is vicious. He claimed that the Prophet has said, whoever dies without being bound by an allegiance to an "Imam" (a ruler), dies the death of ignorance.

Even if the "Imam" is unjust and tyrannical, the believers must obey him as Ibn Taymiyyah (the guru of the Wahhabis) has required. He said, they can advise the "Imam" and guide him!!!

Quoting Abdullah ibn Umar's hadiths in Sahih Muslim, he said that when people wanted to rise against Yazid ibn Mu'awiyah, he stopped them because the Prophet had prohibited breaking the pledge given to an "Imam". When a companion wanted to rise against Yazid ibn Mu'awiyah, in the incidence of Hurra, Abdullah ibn Umar warned him that pledges are not given to be broken and that he had heard the Prophet saying that if anyone dies without being bound by an allegiance, dies the death of ignorance.

Hence, according to the Wahhabite rationale, allegiance to Yazid was a requirement of the Shari'ah! The leader of the congregation did not explain, what would be the position of those who broke the allegiance given in Ghadir? He did not explain why didn't Abdullah ibn Umar remember these alleged hadiths of the Prophet when he himself did not pay oath of allegiance to Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, but felt the need to pay allegiance to a corrupt, irreligious and fasiq ruler like Yazid, who was imposed on the Muslims by his father. He did not explain what about the widely narrated mutawatir hadith of the Prophet which says "there is no obedience to the creatures in disobedience to Allah"? He did not explain that in the incidence of Hurra many Companions of the Prophet in Madina were slaughtered and thousands of their virgin daughters were rapped by the troopers of Yazid. To remain indifferent to a massacre of such a magnitude was like writing off the religious values that the Messenger of Allah (SAWW) had brought. But this is precisely the leader of the congregation was advising the worshippers.

this is the need of all illegitimate rulers coz unless they justify the legitimacy of Yazid's rule they cannot justify their own

O Muhammad (pbuh) Look at what state your ummah has fallen to, They have left your words, they have back bited your Ahlulbayt. They have tortured your Ahlulbayt. They have killed your grandsons in karbala, dungeons and etc.. And since ASIRS (years) they have tried forcing us to like beasts such as Muawiya (L.A) and his evil son Yazid (L.A).
They have burned and hidden all the true books, history and so on. and rebuilt their own ones. There new religion is money not islam.. May you keep as attached to your deen and Ahlulbayt, also your true sunnah. Ameen

Let us all unite as "Ummat-e-Rasool". These words were said by a Shia Imam leading a Jummah in a Sunni Masjid, in US. He was invited by the community elders. The past cannot be changed, but the present determines the future.
May Allah bless you all.

but i think before passing any comment we should must consult the sayings of the prophet (S.A.W). as a matter of fact amir muawiya was the katib-e-wahi. so there is possibility of being detraped. as for as the matter of yazid and Imam Hussain is concerned. i thinkk that we have loaded things on it and shaped it just to tell the story like. according to a hadith of Bukhari the happy news of jannah is for a person who took part in a holly war. and that war was led by yazid. we say all this b coz we have no habit to study. so we should think before passing any comment.

written by razia sayeda, September 01, 2009
qaisar maan, here's wishing you a speedy journey to the abode of your imams muawiya, yazeed, abdullah ibne umar, sahih bukhari, and i might as well add shimr, ibne ziad, khalifas of the clans bani umayya and bani abbas and infant killer hurmala (according to your logic he too participated in the 'holy war' ) not to mention zakir naik, israr ahmed, benjamin netanyahu, george w bush, saudi khalifas etc. Good for you! You seem to be of the same creed as that of the above shaitaans and their and your ancestor iblees. And to my logic your heaven must be the burning fire hell where you would be most blissful because thats where you all come from and that's where you belong.
As for us we hope to go to the jannah of our leaders our Imams the Ahlul Bait. Vastly different from your jannah. Wouldn't you say.
Bon Voyage!

yazid is shaitaan and la'anati.....he is responsible for the incidence of karbala

written by Prof Dr S Muhammad Naqvi (Research Scholar), September 09, 2009
The beloved Muslims of Prophet & His Ahlulbait should not be worried about these types of irrational and non- acceptable remarks, beliefs and having affections towards the killers or the destroyers of the true commandments of Allah & His Prophet's blood(Ahlulbait). This shows that how ignorance has penetrated within selves who have left Ahlulbait as their forefathers did.



" History and blood both speaks about their origins"

The true lovers of Prophet and Ahlulbait need to discourage all these ill - natured remarks through unity among the Muslims.

Dear Qaisar Maan

It is not Yazid who participated in the first naval force but it was his father Muáwiya (Radhiallaahu Anhu) during the Caliphate of Usman (Radhiallaahu Anhu).
In fact it is reported in Bukhari Shareef that Rasool Allah (S.A.W) said: 'The first army that will fight a naval battle in my Ummah will have made Jannat compulsory on themselves.' The first naval force was in fact headed by Muáwiya (Radhiallaahu Anhu) during the Caliphate of Usman (Radhiallaahu Anhu).

It is not Yazid who participated in the first naval force but it was his father Muáwiya (Radhiallaahu Anhu) during the Caliphate of Usman (Radhiallaahu Anhu).

As early as 668 the Caliph Muawiyah I (Radhiallaahu Anhu) sent an army under his son Yazid against the Eastern Roman Empire. Yazid reached as far as Chalcedon and took the important Byzantine center Amorion. Although the city was quickly recovered, the Arabs next attacked Carthage and Sicily in 669. In 670 the Arabs captured Cyzicus and set up a base from which to launch further attacks into the heart of the Empire. Their fleet captured Smyrna and other coastal cities in 672. Finally, in 672, the Arabs sent a large fleet to attack Constantinople by sea. While Constantine was diverted by this, the Slavs unsuccessfully attacked Thessalonika.
Constantinople survived the Arab siege until 678, when the Byzantines employed Greek fire against the Arab fleet at the Battle of Syllaeum in Pamphylia. This was one of the first times Greek fire was used in combat. The Arabs withdrew, and were almost simultaneously defeated on land in Lycia in Anatolia.

SALAM ALAIKUM RAHMATULLAHI WA BARKATUHU





DEAR READERS

REGARDING YAZID WE ASK OURSELVES THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

1. YAZID CONSPIRED TO KILL HAZRAT IMAM HUSSAIN (Radhiallaahu Anhu) WHEN HAZRAT IMAM HUSSAIN (Radhiallaahu Anhu) WANTED TO PERFORM HAJ. DO WE RESPECT YAZID FOR THIS??

2. AS PER KALAM-E-PAK ( QURAN ) ALLAH SAID HE IS THE ENEMY OF THOSE WHO HURT FAMILY OF RASOOL ALLAH (S.A.W.). ALLAH ALSO SAID HE IS WITH THOSE WHO RESPECT RASOOL ALLAH (S.A.W) AND HIS FAMILY.
SHOULD WE RESPECT YAZID AND EARN ENIMITY WITH ALLAH?

3. YAZID CAUSED NOT TO GIVE AZAN IN MASJID NABVI FOR 3 DAYS, HIS ARMY TIED HORSES IN MASJID NABVI AND AT MAZAR-E-MUBARAK OF RASOOL ALLAH (S.A.W) HORSES DUNG AND URINE WAS PASSED IN MASJID NABVI AND AT MAZAR-E-MUBARAK. YAZID'S ARMY AT MADINA KILLED MORE THAN 10,000 SAHABA.
STILL SHOULD WE RESPECT YAZID?

4. YAZID SENT HIS ARMY FROM MADINA TO MECCA THERE THEY DAMAGED KABETULLAH SHERIEF BURNT THE CLOTH OF KABA. ATTACK ON MECCA IS FORBIDDEN BY ALLAH.

STILL SHOULD WE RESPECT YAZID???????????????????????????

Disgusting Shias...they curse everyone except the family of the Prophet. They consider Ali (RA), Hasan (RA), Husain (RA) as the so called "Imams" which according to their complicated and Sabaite definition means equivalent to "Prophet" Disgusting Shias cursed even by Ali (RA) and Hasan (RA). Disgusting Shias who betrayed Husain (RA) at Karbala and today make a great and false show of the Jaahil custom of Mourning...I wonder if they even think of anything other than Ahle Bait.

written by saira , November 24, 2009
Mr, Ali Hyder, these are quite harsh remarks passed by u. I think putting blames on each other we should try to learn more about our history and the people who changed the shape of our history effecting till to date. The difference is very clear that u can only curse shias but never any of our Imams. Remember these are the descendants of your and my prophet. But on other hand we can criticize your caliphs and kings because of their deeds and the role they played in damaging Islam .

written by ya ali, November 27, 2009
to mr: aly hyder. the biggest hypocrite are you saudis.. i will not refer you as muslims... cuz from saudies you have different way of teaching in islam... WE shiaa dont say that your teaching are wrong and we dont say that our teaching is more right that yours...ahl el bait are more holy than yazed (naalat allah aleih) and dont forgett what the rasul said about imam ALI... so go and blow your self your saudi terrorist...

Although I've read most of the authentic books on Islam ,written by the prominent Sunnis and Shi'ite Scholars and also about the people who played main roles in its construction or destruction, what has emerged is a "NO WIN SITUATION" where the believers on both sides are reluctant to accept each other views on the most controversial issues. There're numerous traditions of Prophet of Islam quoted in Sunni books, if accepted by the Sunnis, they will condemn their claim that Mr Abibakar, Umar and Uthaman had any right on claphate. What's needed, at this juncture, is an impartial obserbation as to what the NON-ISLAMIC historian say about the issues.

The Succession to Muhammad is a book written by Wilfred Made lung released by the Cambridge University Press in 1977. He writes in pages 309-310; " In the face of fake Umayyad claim to legitimate sovereignty in Islam as God's Vicegerents on earth, and in view of Umayyad treachery, arbitrary and divisive government, and vindictive retribution, they came to appreciate his ( Ali ) honesty, his unbending devotion to the reign of Islam, his deep personal loyalties, his equal treatment of all his supporters, and his generosity in forgiving his defeated enemies. " My personal opinion is that the list of Ali's enemies is endless, as it goes on and on. What I've concluded from a book "Nahjul Blagha" ( a compilation of Sermons / Letters and Sayings of Ali) that in the entire history of Islam TWO very distinguished names appear top of the list "Mua'via Ibn Abi Sufi'an and Ayesha daughter of Abibakar. Mua'via fought many wars against Ali even after the demise of Muhammad, when Ali was forced by the believers of Islam to accept the office of caliphate and became their leader,against his will. And Ayesha left no stone unturned to oppose any move that Ali made. Finally when the limitations of her hatred against the family of the prophet exploded and she fought a bloody battle known as " the battel of Camels). Irony is, that Ali was leading the believers of Islam (Umma). Her action thus logically, earned her a reputation in the history of Islam as " The Mother of Unbelievers".

Curse on those who betray hatred to Ali (as) and his progeny. Love Ali, and be accepted by the Prophet (SAW) and once accepted by him you are accepted by Allah (SWT)...However, hate Ali (as) and you will never get any where close to Janaah. Lanat on Whabis!!!!!

written by ABBASS RAZA, December 28, 2009
lanat on those who claim yazid as a pure ruler and a person to be allegiance...because bastard is a man who killed ahylbat ...and Quran has narrated clearly tht the people who support a tyrant who kill the human being would go to heell...so people who support yazid assuredly will go to hell as he is killer or ahlybat .......
SALAM YA HUSSAIN(A.S) U R REALLY GREAT .......AND LANAT ON THOSE WHO CLAIM U WRONG BEACUSE U R MASOOM U R 1 WHO PROVES VICTORY IN FACE OF INNOCENCE ....

Imam Hussein and His brother Al-Hassan are Sayyid Shaba Ahl-Al-Janna, both in Sunni and Shia Hadiths. Thus, killing him of ruling is the same as all oppressor are doing and did to maintain their rules.

If you acknowledge the contrary than you shall be with Saddam, Hitler and their alikes.

If you aknowledge that he is wrong than why you leave sayyid shabab al-janna for Yazid the oppressor.

To raouf: Than why did prophet Lut married a wife that Allah destroyed. And Allah bring the example of another bad wife in the same sourat of Quran in which He blame Aisha and Hasfa of divulging the Prophet secret.

To Ateeq: Plz read your Sahih I can bring Hadith that will whiten your hair. Imam Khomeini ordered the removal of hundreds of Hadidth from Bihar Al-Anwar. Because that they have been added with time. Also, in the Shia world it is know that Al-Bihar is just a compilation, without analysis, of all hadiths and stories found by Mullah Bakir.

Plz, Ask Allah to show you the ritgh path and look for it. Inshallah He will guide you so you can be resurrected with the Prophet, Ali, Fatima, Al-Hassan and Al-Hussein AND NOT Abubaker, Umar, Uthman, Mu3ayiwa and Yazid...

To all Muslims who favor Yazid,

A SIMPLE TEST ON WHICH SIDE ARE YOU OR WOULD LIKE TO BE?

Introduction of Yazid as it relates to Battle of Badr (historically the first battle between the enemies of Islam and Islam's followers) and drawing parallelism to Battle of Karbala.
From the side of enemies of Islam:
Adba - Yazid's grandmom's father
Shayba - Yazid's grandmom's uncle
Walid - Yazid's grandmom's brother

From the side of Islam (chosen by Prophet Mohammad PBUH):
Hamza - Husayn's father's Uncle
Ubaydah - Husayn's fathers' cousin
Ali - Husayn's father

Who's side you'd like to be is your choice but let it be that your fate be determined with the fate of who you chose. We, Shias, know where our choice lies and it lies with our beloved Prophet and his family. It is for you to decide where do you stand.

May God open your eyes!

Mr Ali Hyder, Your words betray the sanctity of your name. You have a completely distorted view of Shiat and rightfully so. Because the essence of Shiat is not so trivial so as to be grasped by any Tom, Dick and Harry. Your name saves you because no Shia would curse you with a name like that. However, we will pray that your fate be decided with the enemies of Ali and enemies of Ahlul Bayt.

Imam Hussainsws.’s Last Sermon



To Umayyad Army in Karbala



On the 10th of Moharram in 61 A.H., Imam Hussainsws2 admonished the army of Banu Umayyad in Karabala by giving an eloquent Sermon.



Holy Prophetsaww raised me up by feeding the Divine Prophecies. I am the son of Prophet saww and my mother is ‘Batool’sws3. I have been created as infallible Imam. I have the privilege of being the son of Amir-ul-Momaneensws. I am the son of that who holds the key to the future events and sustenance of the whole universe. Hassan (Imamas) has brought me up to his customs. I am the Divine authority, recognise me prior to declaring war against me. Be aware! You will close all the doors of forgiveness by killing me. You are doing this for the attraction of your leader’s promised rewards, but if you ask me, I can bless you thousands’ time more than that. (I know) collecting filth is in your genes. You are unable to comprehend and (debate with doubts) that we regularly travel through the milky ways. (Be aware) Stars are nothing else but aftermath of footprints. North pole finds its direction from ussws. Oursws destination is in ‘Qabah Quosaan’4; and ‘Bait-ul-Mamoor’5 is our residence. ‘Bismilla6’ refers to our beginning and ‘Yakhamah7’ concludes with our (attributes). ‘Innamah8’ describes our Divinity and Purity, ‘Allif-lam9’ is on our introduction, ‘WalAsr10’ is about our glandular status, The Verse of ‘Feel11’ is the narration of our past, ‘Walfaj12’ has borrowed colours from us, ‘Filqurbah13’ is the means to seek nearness to us, the verse of ‘Dahr14’ is on our generosity, ‘MinYashra’ defines our rights, ‘Al-Taha’ is about our way of life, the Verse of ‘Muzimmil15’ is our outfit, the verse of ‘AlQadr16’ authenticate our (Divine) rights, it is in our jurisdiction to change the direction of ‘Qabateen’ 17 we attend to the needs of others in ‘Rukku18 of prayers. Our traditions became the principles of religion; we are the ‘Ibrahimy19’. However, those who could not gain guidance from 63 years of preaching will not be influenced by my words. You are blinded by the ‘worthless’ rewards and are inclined to disgrace Holy Prophet’s familysws-which would result in your eternal punishment.

written by Abdul Abdul Mahdi, March 17, 2010
If we follow the logic of the Wahhabi that a Ruler must be obeyed even if he is a tyrant because we need to keep the peace, then logically and naturally from there we can predict that ONE DAY, when the Dajjal (LA) comes, Wahhabi's will be part of his followers, since they believe they should obey a ruler even if he is a tyrant.

As for the Nasibi who keep on cursing us Shiahs as Kafirs - I would rather have the curses of a BILLION (so-called) Muslims than the slightest displeasure of Fatimah Zahra (AS).

Did any one know that besids Abdullah Ibn Umar not paying his alligence to Immam Ali (a.s),paid alligence to Muawiya(l.a) and used to take favours from him. He paid alligence to Yazis the cursed through his another
cursed man Hajjaj bin yusuf, by touching his feet while hajjaj didnt even bother to stand up for this man. Hajjaj was the person who did all that what a mankind will be ashamed of in Madina.By the way Muawiya is from the dynasty which is from cursed tree( sahjera malooneh) referred in quran where most of our emminent suni aalims have made the commentry on that verse of quran that it was revealed in curse of Abu sufyan and his family.Our emminent suni scholers narrate that Muawiya accepted Islam in 10th year of hijreh when almost all the quran had been revealed. His cursed father who all along his life had tortured our beloved prophet accepted islam under duress which is on conquerring Makka ,may be 7 0r 8 hijreh when his cursed son Muawiya cursed his father, dis owned him for being coward. On this occasion a verse was revealed to our great prophet that curse upon people who severe relationship with their kins which muawiya had done to his father Abusufyan the cursed.
Have these people not read quran , Ayet Muadatqurba, mubahilla, taharat many more.May Allah bless all muslims the intellegence and opportunity to find the truth and be guided inshaallah....
