| | Muawiyah I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Mu'awiyah's father was Abu Sufiyan ibn Harb who was initially a bitter opponent of Muhammad. | | | Mu'awiyah did become a Muslim before the conquest of Mecca but hid his faith rather like Muhammad's uncle Abbas. | | | Because 'Ali did not apprehend and punish 'Uthman's murderers, Mu'awiyah regarded him as an accomplice to the murder and refused to acknowledge his caliphate. |

| | The ambitious Muawiyah induced Ali's eldest son, Hasan, to renounce his claim to the caliphate. | | | Muawiyah, a kinsman of Uthman and the governor of Syria, then refused to recognize Ali, and he demanded the right to avenge his relative's death. | | | At last it was announced that neither Ali nor Muawiyah should be caliph; Abd Allah, a son of Umar, was proposed. |

| | Muawiyah and his father Abu Sufyan were among those who fought the Prophet till last minutes and when they found that Mecca will be captured shortly and their turn is over, they decided to go under the guise of Islam to save their life and to destroy Islam from inside. | | | Similarly, Yazid Ibn Muawiyah, Ziyad, the son of his father, Ibn Marjanah, Marwan, al-Hajjaj, Ibn al-Aas, and others from the accursed tree mentioned in Qur'an, and who were cursed by the tongue of the Prophet (PBUHandHF), they became the commanders of the believers and the guardians of their affairs. | | | Muawiyah went forth against Ali as has preceded, and assumed the title of Caliph. |

| | Later when Ali was assassinated in 661, his son Hasan pledged allegiance to Muawiyah and Muawiyah was declared caliph of all Muslim lands. | | | Since the killers of Uthman had allied themselves with Ali, Muawiyah refused to accept his caliphate, and in 657 led an army against him. | | | The two sides agreed to a conciliation procedure, resulting in an arbitration that many of Ali's partsans saw as unfair. |

| | Above all, Muawiyah wanted to strengthen the basis of future kingdom of his son, Yazid, who because of his lack of principles and scruples was opposed with a large group of Muslims. | | | Therefore, in order to quell all opposition, Muawiyah had undertaken more severe means until he died in 60 AH and his son Yazid took his place. | | | The event of Karbala, the capture of women and children of the Household of Prophet, their being taken as prisoners from town to town, and the speeches made by Janab-e-Zainab, the daughter of Ali, who was one of the prisons, became a scandal for Umayyah Kingdom. |

| | Muawiyah claimed that because Ali had taken no action to apprehend Uthman's killers, Ali was complicit in his murder. | | | The Khawarij killed 'Ali as part of a string of assassination attempts that targeted 'Ali, Muawiyah, and Amr ibn al-As, Muawiya's governor of Egypt (Ali's assassin was the only one who succeeded). | | | Though most Sunnis acknowledge that 'Ali had the stronger claim in his dispute with Muawiyah, Sunni authorities usually refrain from questioning the sincerity of Muawiya's intentions and generally give him the benefit of the doubt. |
