This video clarifies the stance of Ahl al-Sunnah regarding Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan رضي الله عنه — in direct contrast to the Khawarij and the Rafidah, two groups that have never brought any good to the Ummah. Whereas Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan رضي الله عنه was: - Noble Companion of the Prophet ﷺ. - Brother of the Mother of the Believers, Umm Habibah رضي الله عنها. - Scribe of Revelation. - Narrator of authentic hadith. - Recipient of the Prophet’s ﷺ duʿa for guidance. - Leader of the Believers. - Governor of Sham under ʿUmar and ʿUthman رضي الله عنهما. - Expanded Muslim lands and led the first naval expeditions. - Fought in major battles alongside the Prophet ﷺ and the Khulafaʾ. - Brought unity, security, and justice to Sham. - Known for wisdom, patience, and diplomacy. - Promised goodness as one of the Companions. This issue is one of ʿAqeedah — there is no room for compromise. It also serves as a reminder to those influenced by modern pseudo-historians who attack the religion in the name of “history.” Original Fatwa Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqJBJYMZLHw #Muawiyah #AhlulSunnah #DefendingTheSahabah #Khawarij #Rafidah #IslamicHistory #Aqeedah #TruthAboutMuawiyah #Sahabah #Islam #Sunni #Hadith #QuranAndSunnah
