EVIDENCE FROM SURAS OF THE HOLY QUR’AN AND HADITH MU’AWIYA AND YAZID ARE CURSED EVIDENCE FROM SURAS OF THE HOLY QUR’AN AND HADITH MU’AWIYA AND YAZID ARE CURSED (1) Please refer to ayat 60 of Sura 17 (Bani Israel). Commentators from your own ulema, like Tha’labi, Imam Fakhru’d-din Razi, and others say that the Holy Prophet saw in a dream that the Bani Umayya, like monkeys, ascended and descended his pulpit. Thereafter Gabriel brought this holy ayat: “And when We said to you: Surely your Lord encompasses men. And we did not create the vision which We showed you except as a trial for men and the cursed tree in the Qur’an as well. And we cause them to fear, but it only adds to their grievous transgression.” (17:60) Allah Almighty has called the Bani Umayya, whose leaders were Abu Sufyan and Mu’awiya, the “cursed tree” in the Holy Qur’an. Mu’awiya, who was a strong limb of this tree, was definitely accursed. (2) Again Allah Almighty says, “But if you held command, you would surely make mischief in the land and cut off the ties of kinship. Those it is whom Allah has cursed so He has made them deaf and blinded their eyes.” (47:22-23) In this verse those who make mischief in the earth and sever the ties of kinship are cursed by Allah. Who was a greater mischief monger than Mu’awiya, whose caliphate was notorious for its evil practices. Besides this, he severed the ties of kinship. (3) Also Allah says in the Holy Qur’an: “Surely as for those who speak evil things of Allah and His Apostle, Allah has cursed them in this world and in the hereafter, and He has prepared them for a chastisement bringing disgrace.” (33:57) Certainly tormenting the Commander of the Faithful and the two grandsons of the Holy Prophet Hasan and Husain as well as Ammar-e-Yasir and other distinguished companions of the Holy Prophet was the equivalent of tormenting the Holy Prophet himself. Since Mu’awiya did torment these pious people, he was, according to the explicit wordings of the verse, definitely accursed in this world and in the hereafter. (4) In sura Mu’min (The Believer), Allah says: “The day on which their excuse shall not benefit the unjust, and for them is a curse and for them is an evil abode.” (40:52) (5) In the sura Hud, He says: “Now surely the curse of Allah is on the unjust.” (11:18) (6) In the sura Al-A’raf (The Elevated Places) Allah says: “Then a crier will cry out among them that the curse of Allah is on the unjust.” (7:44) Similarly, in many other verses revealed about the unjust ones, it is clear that every unjust one is accursed. I do not think any of you would deny the open injustices perpetrated by Mu’awiya. So the very fact that he was unjust, proves that he deserved Allah’s curse in the light of these clear indications we too can curse the one who deserves Allah’s curse. (7) In the sura Nisa (The Women) Allah says: “And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his punishment is Hell; he shall abide in it, and Allah will send His wrath on him and curse him and prepare for him a painful chastisement.” (4:93)
