Treatise on Muavija Ibn Ebi Sufijan (or thr defence of Muavija Ibn Ebi Sufijan) by Hasan-efendija Podgoričanin

Abstract

This treatise was entitled „The Defence - Response to Those Attacking the Caliph Muavija ibn Ebi Sufjan". One must agree, with Allah’s permission, that those to whom Allah promised the forgiveness of sins and abundant reward, are both Allah’s favorites. Muhammed a.s. forbade insulting of Muavija ibn Ebi Sufjan and Ali ibn Ebi Talib as well as the insulting of all other ashabs, without exempdon. They are ali just, and were raised in justice, they made decisions in order to achieve sevab and justice during the caliphates.

That what happened between the ashabs, in their striving for Allahs content, and in their way of idžtihad, and that is especially important for caliph Ali, is that a magnificent reward was promised to them. They were to take that reward as their advantage and this fact is confirmed by often very different opinions of the ulema.

The love towards the ashabs is in fact the attitude of one who truly loves Allah dž.š. He asks from Allah with his dova not to deny him the love of ashabs and not to bring his heart to darkness after he showed him the right way.
