واہ حضرت فاروقی شھید رحمہ اللّٰہ

Subhan allah

had a standing army of 40,000 which never intervened to defend him. Why? Did muawiya or any of Omayyad kings ever avenge Hz. Uthman’s murderers during their reigns? Why do people not demand revenge on the murder of Ammar bin Yasir (killed in Sifeen), Hijr bin Uda’i, Abu Zarr Ghafari (exiled to desert till death) and Hz. Muhammad bin Abi Bakr (son of Hz. Abu Bakr) murdered by and sewn in donkey’s skin by muawiya? However, Moulana Modoodi affirms in his “Khilafat o Malokiat” that the unrest spread because of the caliph’s poor governance, political appointments of incapable people of his own family, extravagant expenditures from government treasury, Bait al Maal, for his own tribe, Banu Ummaya. The third caliph invited Marwan Ibn Hakam, his cousin, back in Madina disregarding Prophet’s command and practices of Hz. Abu Bakr and Umer. Hz. Uthman gifted him the Land of Fadak. The caliph also gave him annual 5 hundred thousand gold coins attained from earnings received from African countries (Abi Al Fida, Vol. 1, p. 236; Tafseer Durr e Mansoor; Sunan Abu Dawood, Vol 3, hadees, 2972; Sharah of Sunan Ibn Dawood, Aun al Ma’bood, by Azeem Abadi, Vol. 7; Fateh Baari BeSharah Sahi Bukhari, Ibn e Hajr Asqalani, Vol. 7).
