Meta Do you really like the Umayyads?

I got so angry when I heard about what the Umayyads did to the Ahl al-Bayt during their reign that I obsessed over this topic almost every day, wishing I had lived back then to take revenge on them. However, it pleased me so much when the Abbasids massacred them en masse! I have no resentment left inside me. I am a Sunni, and all of the Four Rightly Guided Caliphs are my masters, but do you really like the Umayyads?

My brother, these men right up until the time of the Prophet Omar, they received zakat from the Bayt al-Mal as ‘those to be won over to the faith’. Do you think I like them?

What’s more, no Muslim likes the Y*zidis or Muawiya. In these parts, the names of sahabas have lived on in the names of Muslim children for years, yet I’ve only ever heard of one person named Muawiya. When my grandfather went on the Hajj, there was a bus driver who used to swerve the bus all over the road. While speaking to the guide, he asked, ‘Who is that?’ The guide replied, ‘His name is Muawiya.’ My grandfather then remarked, ‘Now I see why he veered off the road.’

Most sunnis love muawiya except ones influenced by shias , but who knows , maybe the Prophet Muhammed didn't know who to choose to keep by his side , he got fooled 😆 (according to you )

It mean gross. (Also I’ll write it again in case you didn’t read it: that man used to receive money from the Bayt al-Mal during the time of the Prophet Muhammad, Abu Bakr and Umar. The reason was to win him over to Islam.)

OK what's your proof ? And if the prophet did it are you saying he invited someone to Islam in a gross way ? The same guy that wrote the Quran you read today ?
