Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Muawiya Mu'awiya Forced People To Give Bayya To Yazeed We have discussed this topic with complete references in our article on Yazeed. Please see our article: Yazeed (L'aenn) Deobandi scholar Rasheed Akhtar Nadwi in "Tahzeeb au Tamadhun e Islami" comments on page 1: "Mu'awiya forced people to give bayya to Yazeed".

Tahzeeb au Tamadhun e Islami Sayyid Muhammad Rashid Raza the Syrian scholar echoes similar words in his book "Imamate al Uzma" page 99: Mu'awiya introduced the bad practice of giving bayya to Yazeed by force". Imamate al Uzma page 99 Professor Saeed Akbar Allahbadi in his book "Musalman ka 'Uruj-o-Zawal" (Urdu) page 53 likewise states: "Mu'awiya attained power by force and secured it for Yazeed in the same manner. People who did not agree were forced to give it".

Musalman ka 'Uruj-o-Zawal page 53 Abu Sulaiman had proclaimed that Mu'awiya: Ansar.org states:consulted the grandest companions, the masters of the people and the district's governors. They all accepted. Delegations from the districts came with acceptance to give allegiance to Yazeed What Abu Sulaiman fails to explain is the method Mu'awiya used that resulted in delegates giving bayya to Yazeed.

Let us shed light on his methods by citing the comments of Syed Qutb Shaheed in "Social Justice in Islam" (English translation pages 209-210): "With the coming of Mu'awiya, the caliphate in Islam became a monarchy, a tyranny confined to the Umayyad family It will be sufficient at this point to quote as proof of this the account of the oath of allegiance to Yazid.

From here we may discover the foundation of Umayyad power and find out whether Mu'awiya who established that power was true to the spirit of Islam or to some other ideal. Mu'awiya summoned delegates to represent all the provinces at the taking the oath of allegiance to Yazid. Then Yazid Ibn al Muqaffa stood up and said "The Commander of the Faithful is here", and he indicated Mu'awiya, "If he dies his successor is here" and he indicated Yazid.

"And if anyone refuses - here" and he pointed to his sword. The, said Mu'awiya, "Sit down O best of preachers". After the oath was taken to Yazid in Syria Mu'awiya gave Said ibn al-'As the task of gaining the acceptance of the people of the Hejaz. This he was unable to do, so Mu'awiys went to Mecca with an army and with full treasury.
