@veniviceroyce @tomieinlove If God says such-and-such is oppression, then it is oppression. And if He says such-and-such is not oppression, then it is not oppression.

Leave our women to us and we will leave your women to you. Is this not fair?

[Hārūn al-Manṣūr | هارون المنصور @IbnAlMutamid]

@Zae_3I3 @MuslimBin13574 I never said Mu'awiyah was without mistakes. He errored in his usurpation of Imam al-Hassan and Al-Hussain as Khulafah, but none of this constitutes Kufr. It is more of a secular political dispute than a religious one. And it does not erase the mistakes of the latter.

[Hārūn al-Manṣūr | هارون المنصور @IbnAlMutamid]

What people often forget is the Sahaba were men - not the boys which we have today.

Harsh words which may have been exchanged by them do not represent genuine hatred or even hostility.

Rather they represent masculine competition at it's most extreme level.

[Muhammad bin Muslim @MuslimBin13574]

Uthman believed Imaam Ali to be deviant, there was no friendship between them.

[Hārūn al-Manṣūr | هارون المنصور @IbnAlMutamid]

@Zae_3I3 @MuslimBin13574 There is no evidence Mu'awiyah poisoned Al-Hassan, likewise there is no evidence that Yazid ordered the murder of Al-Hussain.

Did Mu'awiyah aim to usurp Ali at Siffin? If so, why did they reconcile?

[Hārūn al-Manṣūr | هارون المنصور @IbnAlMutamid]

@KR3Wmatic To be Muslim is more than to pray and fast.

It is to have Wala for the Muslimeen and Bara for the Mushrikeen.

It is to affirm Allah Azzawajjal's Tawhid in Rububiyyah, Uluhiyyah and al-Asma' was-Sifaat.

And it is to be aware of Tawhid, for how can one affirm what he knows not?

[Hārūn al-Manṣūr | هارون المنصور @IbnAlMutamid]

@Shiahadithdaily As I said before, Ali made a mistake by not punishing the killers of Uthman. The Hudud should have been implemented immediately. Mu'awiyah recognized this and aimed to institute it, as Allah Azzawajjal and His Prophet ordered us to do.

[Hārūn al-Manṣūr | هارون المنصور @IbnAlMutamid]

@Zae_3I3 @MuslimBin13574 Mu'awiyah's kin was killed. Did Ali punish his killers?

Mu'awiyah's aim was to:

A: Punish (i.e. kill) his cousin's killers.
B: Or ensure Ali did so.

It's not like he aimed to kill Ali outright, nor did he aim to usurp his Caliphate.

[Hārūn al-Manṣūr | هارون المنصور @IbnAlMutamid]

@Shiahadithdaily Mu'awiyah's cousin Uthman was assassinated, it was Ali who did not punish his killers to prevent Fitnah. Ali wanted to consolidate his own authority before doing so, and factions sympathetic to him protected the killers.

So Mu'awiyah rightfully set out to do what was right.

[Hārūn al-Manṣūr | هارون المنصور @IbnAlMutamid]

So in short, he is to be considered a Muslim. However he is not to be praised, nor are his actions to me emulated.

And as I said: a final account is left to Allah Azzawajjal.

[Hārūn al-Manṣūr | هارون المنصور @IbnAlMutamid]

🧵 Was Al Ḥajjāj ibn Yūsuf a Muslim?

His Islam is doubted by many Tullab al-'Ilm and Ulama, however Takfir on al-Hajjaj is an issue of dispute between the Ahl al-'Ilm.

I shall outline some historical sources about al-Hajjaj in this thread, In Sha Allah Ta'ala.

[Hārūn al-Manṣūr | هارون المنصور @IbnAlMutamid]

"for the Qur’an. He has good deeds drowned in the sea of his sins. His affair is with Allah. He had Tawhid in general, and he has equals among the oppressive tyrants and rulers.”
