Dear mr Mubashir i mam reading your books
online and i
appreciate its a good effort, especially your book" Muslim Duniya ,Zehni,Fikri aur nafsiati Ghulami. But when i read your
book "APNI SHAKHSIAT AUR KIRDAR KI TAMEER KASE KI JAI" I was
disappointed by one of your example in the topic " quwwate bardasht". Because
I am the student of history and I know what the Amir Muawia
did in his 20 years rule. And then he tried to
convert the muslim khilafat
into malookiat. And he did
so and the result was in the form of "Waqia
Karbala". This is the history and it cant be
denied. My point is that if you want to quote an example it should be a good
example. Because in this way you can say that Zia-ul-Haq ruled for 11 years because he was a very patient
person. Musharrif ruled for 9 years because he is
very patient. The length of ruling period is not a sign of patients. I hope
you get my point. I hope you ll not think that
I am a Shia because 'I am not'. But the truth is truth. Regards A Sister May 2011 |

Respected Sister Assalam o alaikum wa Rahmatullah Many thanks for your kind words and comments about my
books. Syedna Amir Muawiya رضی اللہ
عنہ was a great companion and his government was established by abdication of Syedna
Hassan رضی
اللہ عنہ. If we accept the narrations
portraying himself as a dictator, the matter will not remain limited to him. If
we accept the information contained in the books of history, we'll have to accept, na'uzu billah, that all the companions of the Prophet صلی اللہ
علیہ وسلم
including Hazrat Hassan, Hussain,
Abdullah Ibn Abbas, Abu Huraira, Abdullah Ibn U'mar رضی اللہ
عنہم and a lot more were also culprits
who accepted his Khilafat. It is completely wrong
to compare him with culprits like Zia or Musharaf. I appreciate
that you study the history. There is a discipline in the
historical studies that deals with criticism on historical events. Since
the matter is grave, we should evaluate the authenticity of the events
reported by the history. We should not accept all incidents reported to us by
historians without such evaluation. It is very logical. If someone blames our
father, should we accept his accusations without any assessment? It is a well-known
truth that a great propaganda was conducted against
the companions of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ
وسلم to portray their wrong picture in order to create
doubts about their integrity. Similarly, Banu A'bbas did the same to defame the Ummayyads. As a student of history, you know that the primary
source of Muslim history is the "Tarikh Tabari" which was written around 300H, about 250
years after the period of Caliph Mu'awiya رضی اللہ
عنہ. The approach of Tabari
was to compile all the narrations (whether authentic or not) in a chronological
order. He only compiled the traditions and did not perform evaluation of such
reports. Recently, a group of Arab scholars named Barzanji,
Hallaq, Zia al-U'mri and Khalil have conducted that evaluation and found that
large number of reports in this book are fake. If
you know Arabic, you should study the history from its original source. All
other history books of subsequent periods were written
based on Tabari's work. Large number of narrators
who reported the incidents related to the civil wars of companion's time were biased against the companions. You can take each
narration one by one and see the biographies of their narrators compiled by
the scholars of Hadith. It is completely
wrong to consider Hazrat Mu'awiya
as the person who transformed Khilafat into Malukiyat. I'll advise you to
read a book of Maulana Taqi
Usmani that will clarify the position of Hazrat Mu'awiya رضی اللہ
عنہ. Since you've mentioned
that you are not a Shia, I'll urge you to study it
with an open mind and analyze its content critically. The book is available
at the following links: http://www.scribd.com/doc/41277166/Ameer-Muawiya-Aur-Tareekhi-Haqaiq

Dear Brother Assalam o alaikum wa Rahmatullah Thank you very much for answering me. I read the book thoroughly
but I am sorry instead of making me satisfy it has made me more doubtful. I respect the author of this book but it seems like he
is just playing with the words. he is making some
rules for authentication of a hadith and then he is
breaking them by himself. A riwaiat is not authentic
because the rawi is shia
and the same time another riwaiat by a shia rawi is authentic because
it favours his opinion........ I hope you got my point of view. Regards |

Respected Sister Wa alaikum us salam wa Rahmatullah The views presented in the books belong to their
authors and they are responsible for providing the answer raised
on their work. I'm not in a position to do so. My
objective of providing you with the book was to demonstrate that two points
of view exist on this issue and both groups have their own arguments based on
the reports compiled by Imam Tabari. Rest of the books are written on the basis of his
compilation. If you study the history of Tabari for
such years, you'll find 4-5 people in the Sanad of all negative reports about the companions. They are: Muhammad Ibn Ishaq, Muhammad Ibn Saib Al-Kalabi, Muhammad Ibn Umar Al-Waqidi,
Hisham Ibn Muhammad Ibn Saib Al-Kalabi,
Abu Mikhnaf Lut Ibn Yahya. Tabari
is available on the following link. You can download and see through the
chapters related to the years ranging from 30 to 65H. http://www.waqfeya.net/category.php?cid=7&st=105
As far as I've studied the
history, I've reached at the conclusion that it is not possible to settle a
disputed issue based on a historical reports. The caliphate of Hazrat Mu'awiya رضی اللہ
عنہ is a matter of about 14 centuries ago. Even we
cannot reach at a decisive conclusion about events happening in our life. For
example, who was responsible for 9/11 is a disputed issue and two groups
provide different opinions about them. Similarly, facts related to
assassination of Bin Laden are also disputed. Only
that person will reach at a real conclusion who was present at that occasion
and bears eyewitness of an incident. Other than that, there is nothing except
theories of different people. You know that a theory means, "it might
have happened". We cannot say about a theory
that "it definitely has happened." I'll sincerely advise you to leave this matter to Allah. He will decide this
issue on the Day of Judgment. We should not keep a bad opinion about the
companions of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ
وسلم. When the matter is only an issue
of doubtful reports, why should we form our opinions based on them. Will
Allah ask us on the Day of Judgment about acts of Hazrat
Mu'awiya? If the answer is yes, we should go for it
but if the answer is no, why to conduct a debate on an issue that has not
been settled during last 14 centuries. On the other side, if we keep a bad
opinion about the companions and they were free from such accusations, Allah will
definitely hold us accountable. Whatever is the opinion of Sunnis, Shias or Khawarij on
such issues, it is no more than a theory based on doubtful reports because
Sunni reports are not acceptable to Shia and vice
versa. We should keep a good view (Husn Zann) about all the companions and leave the matter of
their internal disputes of Allah. We should consider the following facts about these
issues: 1. If someone portrays a bad picture of any respected
person for you e.g. your parents, would you believe in him despite of the
fact that the guy is famous for fabrication of
information? 2. There is no doubt that the incident of 3. We know that some people are
biased towards Hazrat Abu Bakr, U'mar. U'thman, Mu'awiya رضی
اللہ عنہم and all subsequent rulers of Ummayyads. Similarly, a group
called Khawarij are biased towards Hazrat A'li, Hassan, Hussain رضی اللہ
عنہم and their progeny. So why should
we accept narrations from such people who portray a bad picture of such
personalities? We also know that all such people disguised themselves in mainstream
Muslims. In the first century, even it was not possible to distinguish people as the dispute was only political and not religious.
I agree with you that narrations from such people should
not be accepted in other matters even it is in favor of our view. 4. If we accept the charges against Hazrat
Mu'awiya or Hazrat A'li رضی اللہ
عنہما, the matter will not remain not
limited to them. All
those who accepted their caliphate will also be charged
automatically as they accepted corrupt rulers. Therefore, the issue becomes
extremely grave. Nobody believes that Sahaba were free
from sin. Although mistakes at individual capacity was
possible but how could you believe that all companions committed a great
crime collectively while the evidence against them is nothing except
statements of a few people whose reliability is already under question? You
can check by yourselves in the "History of Tabari"
that all reports portraying a sleazy picture of the companions are reported
by only five persons and all of them are considered as "liars". I repeat the names: Muhammad Ibn
Ishaq, Muhammad Ibn Saib Al-Kalabi, Muhammad Ibn Umar Al-Waqidi,
Hisham Ibn Muhammad Ibn Saib Al-Kalabi,
Abu Mikhnaf Lut Ibn Yahya. Kindly check such
reports in the chapters covering the period starting from 32H and ending on 65H. 5. Charges against Hazrat Hussain رضی اللہ عنہ are also
not true as he did not revolt against Yazeed. Nobody engages in a revolt with a handful of
companions including his family members and young children. At death of Hazrat Mu'awiya رضی اللہ
عنہ, a situation of anarchy was
created in 6. Mohadisin have devised a great procedure to evaluate authenticity of
Hadith. The same procedure could
be applied to historical reports as well. I'll
advise you to study that procedure and apply that on the original source of
all historical narrations compiled by Tabari. Why should
we rely on secondary sources? If the matter is disturbing you, conduct your
own research in the light of above-mentioned procedure. Details of this procedure
are available here: http://www.mubashirnazir.org/ER/Hadith/L0004-00-Hadith.htm
Please see at least the Unit 1 of this book. When I conducted such research, I found that almost all
reports containing negative information about such companions was reported by one or more of the five narrators
mentioned above. But I'll advise you to not rely on
me and conduct your own study. If the matter is not much disturbing, I'll urge you to leave the matter to Allah. We are free to
form opinions within this life. If some Sahaba had
something wrong, Allah will not ask us about that but if they were really acquitted from that, we will be held
responsible in front of Allah for believing in reports transmitted through
doubtful channels. I even extend this to all other people and do not accuse
anyone for any charge against him and leave their matter to Allah. However, information
available through Tawatur is something different
and exceptional. I hope this will clarify my position on that. wassalaam Mubashir |
