He tore the Quran into pieces with his arrow shoots and composed these verses: Do you dare to threaten me in my proud rebellion? I am Walid -the most rebellious of Men! O, Quran, when you appear at the Judgment Court, Tell Allah who it was who tore you to shreds. He organized drinking parties on the roof of the House of Allah - the KAB A. An illustration of his faithlessness is given by Amir AH who say, "Walid DL once indulged in a prank which greatly angered the religious people in the capital.

He sent to the Mosque, enveloped in his cloak, a beautiful lad of the harem with whom he had been entertaining himself, to preside at the Friday service in his stead.” He continued his oppression against the household of the Prophet (S.A.W.W.S.). Yahya, Zaid's son, was killed mercilessly by the orders of Walid. Yahya's head was cut from the body and sent to Walid.

Yahya's death, according to Ammer Ali, "accelerated the downfall of the Ommeryades." His immoral behavior and his cruelty towards his own kith and kin made his own people turn against him. In 126 A.H., Yezid son of Walid son of Abdul Malik, rose against Walid H. Walid was killed, ironically holding on to the Qur' an that he had insulted earlier on, and his body paraded in the city of Damascus, where hitherto he had ruled as the Caliph of the Believers!

His sons were put in prison and later murdered by the orders of Ibrahim, Yezid's (EH) brother. Yazid (III) Bin Walid Bin Yazid Bin Abdul Malik Bin Merwan (126 A.H.127 A.H.): Having overthrown and killed his cousin, Yazid El set to establish himself as the Caliph of the Muslims. But he ruled only for five months and died mysteriously in 127 AH. He was succeeded by his brother Ibrahim. None but the people of Damascus only recognized him and his rulership survived only for two months.

Merwan bin Mohammad, the grandson of Merwan bin Hakam, the founder of the Merwani dynasty, rose against Ibrahim. Ameer Ali describes the events of that time thus: "Demascus was now in a terrible state of anarchy and confusion, and the arrival of Merwan was welcomed by the respectable citizenry. He was immediately proclaimed Caliph..." Merwan (II) Bin Muhammad (127 - 132 AH,) He was the grandson of the founder of the Hakamite dynasty, Merwan Bin Hakam.

Before being Caliph, he was governor of Armenia and had shown remarkable skills at suppressing rebellions from the north.
