27 Oct 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Which civil war did early Muslims mean by 'the fitnah'?

16 Oct 2020video Who were the Shia who invited Husayn to Kufa? The Shia who invited Husayn to Kufa were a political faction favouring Ali, not today's sect; a force of perhaps a couple of hundred under Umar ibn Sa'd intercepted him at Karbala.

16 Oct 2020video Why did Muawiya make Yazid his heir? Muawiya named Yazid heir while senior companions lived, and Mufti Abu Layth feels his recognition of Ziyad as Abu Sufyan's son was a political move.

16 Oct 2020video What kind of ruler was Yazid? Mufti Abu Layth calls Muawiya's choice of Yazid a grave mistake: Yazid was a Muslim but a disappointment who attacked Madinah and installed the tyrant Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad in Kufa.

16 Oct 2020video Why did Husayn go to Kufa when he was warned not to? Mufti Abu Layth says Husayn was invited by thousands in Kufa but warned by his relatives and Ibn Abbas, who urged Yemen instead, while Ibn al-Zubayr resisted Yazid from Makkah.

16 Oct 2020video Why did the army at Karbala not let Husayn go back? After Muslim ibn Aqil was killed, Husayn's party was intercepted and the men martyred; Mufti Abu Layth thinks the army may have refused to let him go because some of its own clans had invited him.

16 Oct 2020video Are the stories that Husayn's family was denied water at Karbala true? Mufti Abu Layth doubts many details of the Karbala story, including the denial of water, and thinks Yazid did not want Husayn killed but was not troubled that it happened.

16 Oct 2020video Was Yazid a kafir, and is it right to curse him? No: Mufti Abu Layth calls Yazid a wretched, arrogant tyrant, but he does not call him a kafir or curse him, since he rejects a culture of cursing. He can believe Yazid would not have killed Husayn himself. Question from live chatposition checkedYazid ibn Mu'awiyaHusayn ibn AliImam Ahmad ibn HanbalAbu Hanifa machine3 min 09 s56:51on YouTube
16 Oct 2020video Who was really responsible for the killing of Husayn at Karbala?
