ভূমিকা

Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Imam Al-sadiq Banu Al- ‘abas (the Abasids) The oppression of the Omayyads included all men. It was not confined to the righteous nor to the family of the Chosen Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family. Finally the people of evil hated them as the people of good did. Namely, one group wept for its religion and the other wept for its life in this world. Generally speaking, people sought escape to get rid of their oppression and rule.

The Omayyads threatened all the country of Islam with the people of Sham (Syria) because they were their obedient soldiers who did not deviate from their QpiIliOn and did not disobey their orders. With the Omayyads and the people of Sham, Mu’ffwyya was able to domiEgypt, Iraq, and aI- Hijaz though al- Hijflz and Iraq had men of opinion and bravery, whose division was an ampilion for the people of Sham, who wanted to add them to their side.

Bin Zyyad moved the people of Kufa against the grandson of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family, with the people of Sham by giving money. Abd Al- Malik took Iraq and al- Hijaz from aI- Zubair with those soldiers, too. Generally speaking, the people of Sham thought that the Omayyads were worthy of the Caliphate and obedience while they were dominating the vast country. When the Omayyads divided and began fighting each other, the people of Sham divided, too.

Their word disunited according to the disunity of the world of their leader, who misled them and went astray through them. When the world of the Omayyads divided, some people were ambitious to take their supreme authority and country, but no one was able to declare his ambitions because Sham filled their hearts with terror. In the meantime, men still remembered their cruelty, their oppression, and their soldiers.

Men did not forget the Battle of Karbala, at which the Omayyads showed various kinds of cruelty, and the Battle of al- Hurra, at which the Omayyads showed various mean acts and immorality, violated the forbidden, and shed innocent blood. Men were still remembering that the House (the Kaaba) was first besieged by YazTd, and then by Abd al-Malik, Who used mangonels to throw stones at it and set fire to it, so they demolished it.

Also, men were remembering that the Omayyads killed and burnt Zayd, killed Yahya, and committed crimes paying no attention to the forbidden. So, it was as if people, the expensive, honor, and dignity were a bait for them, and a way for their desires.
