Answer:
Triumph of Islam during Yazid’s
rule
In the name of Allah, We praise
Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none
can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright.
We bear witness that there is no one (no idol,
no person, no grave, no
prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
After the brutal murder of Imam
Hussain ibn Ali (r.a.) in the fields of
There was a regular clash for
the leadership of the muslims between the Ummayyeds of Damascus and the
believers of Makkah and Medina; and
over time this political scramble for leadership resulted in breaking the
Muslim Ummah into several factions;
each proclaiming its allegiance to its leader. Although the differences were political, in time,
it took on a religious fervour and resulted in the formation of many
governments from Africa to Spain to Arabia!
Through all these turmoils of leadership, the true believers were disgusted with the political
infighting, and practiced their Islam
according to the guidance of the Quran and Sunnah.
We must always remember that the
deen of Islam was completed, the Quran
revealed, and the Sunnah of the
Messenger of Allah (saws) was established at the time of the death of the
Prophet (saws). Whatever happened
after the death of the Prophet (saws) is the History of the Muslims, and this
is in the knowledge of Allah Alone.
Allah will not hold us accountable for the deeds of these people, nor ask us about them on the Day of
Judgment. We will be asked about our
deeds and what did we do for the cause of Islam.
Allah says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 134: They were a people who passed away.
They shall receive the reward of what they earned, and you shall have the
reward of what you will earn. And you will not be questioned as to what they
did.
Whatever written of Truth and
benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error
is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He
is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in
Islam,
