Ammar ibn Yasir: Encyclopedia - Year of the Elephant

The Year of the Elephant (عام الفيل `Âm al-Fîl) is estimated at 570 CE. According to early Islamic historians such as Ibn Ishaq, the Ethiopian governor of Yemen, Abraha, had built a great church in Sanaa intended to lure the Arabs away from the Kaaba. One of the men of the Quraysh was angered by this and went to Sanaa. He slipped into the church at night and defiled it. Abraha, incensed, launched an expedition against Mecca led by an elephant (and possibly with other elephants) in order to destroy the Kaaba. Several A ...

Ammar ibn Yasir: Encyclopedia - Miqdad ibn al-Aswad al-Kindi

Miqdad( Arabic مقداد) is one of the Sahaba. Miqdad is venerated by Shi'a Muslims as one of the Four Companions, early Muslims who were followers of Ali ibn Abi Talib. It is a fact well-known by those who research the events that prevented the members of the Prophet's household (as), the custodians of the Message, from attending the allegiance [inauguration] ceremony. They were detained at `Ali's house together with Salman al-Farsi, Abu Tharr al-Ghefari, al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad al-Kindi, `Ammar ibn Yasir, al-Zubayr ...

Ammar ibn Yasir: Encyclopedia - Battle of Badr

The Battle of Badr (Arabic بدر) on Friday, 17 Ramadhan 2 AH or January 13 624 CE, was a seminal event in the formative days of Islam. The battle is mentioned by name in the Qur'an (3.122) which is literally interpreted as, "And certainly Allah helped you at Badr and you were weak," in a context of warfare which is usually, as a whole, read to refer a different battle (Uhud) so that the understanding of 3.122 is that Allah supported Muslims previously at Badr and will support them again. The 8th sura, which does not name Badr, descr ...

Ammar ibn Yasir: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Bassorah - Massing support

Aisha was returning to Medina from Mecca after Hajj, but turned back when she heard the news of Uthman's assassination and the accession of Ali to the Caliphate. Aisha's two brothers-in-law, Talha and Zubair, also arrived in Mecca. Uthman's governor in Makkah was Abdullah bin Aamir Hadhrami. Marwan ibn al-Hakam and other members of the Banu Umayya were staying as his guests. All of them held a meeting. Aisha got the Talha and Zubair's support despite them having already given their oath of alliance to Ali. Both had been nominated for ...

Ammar ibn Yasir: Encyclopedia II - Taqiyya - History

The practice was a method of self-preservation for the Shi'as who historically were the minority and persecuted by Sunni Muslims. Sunnis would sometimes force Shi'as to curse the House of Ali - believing that no devout Shi'a could commit such an act. As a result of this persecution, the idea of Taqiyya emerged. In other words, if a Shi'a Muslim's life is in danger, he may lie as long as he holds his faith true in his heart. Shi'as cite the first use of Taqiyya historically during the time of Muhammad when Muslims were beginning ...

Ammar ibn Yasir: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Badr - Preface to the battle

A few days after the arrival of Muhammad from Mecca, the Quraish addressed a letter to Abdullah ibn Ubbay, who had been the leading chief in Medina and whom the Ansar were preparing to install as their king at a royal coronation. This letter ran as follows: "You have given shelter to our man. We tell you either to kill him or turn him out of Medina; otherwise we swear by God that we will al ...

Ammar ibn Yasir: Encyclopedia II - Shi'a view of Umar - Shi'a Biography

Shi'a view of Umar - His early life. Shi'as point out that Umar was a idol worshiper and that this disqualifies him from being a leader for all Muslims. Shi'as belive that no God-appointed Muslim leader has ever worshiped anything else than God. In other words, a man designated to protect and guide all Muslims at least must have a pure enough character to have refrained from the grossest sin in Islam. This is also complemented by the Shi'a belief that none can be an Imam (leader), whether prophet (Abraham) or non ...

Ammar ibn Yasir: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Badr - The March to Badr

In the spring of 624, Muhammad received word from his intelligence sources that a large trade caravan commanded by Abu Sufyan, one of the richest of the year and guarded by thirty-forty men, was travelling from Syria to Mecca. Because of the caravan's size, or perhaps because of the previous failures to intercept a caravan, Muhammad gathered an army of over 300 men, the largest army the Muslims had ever put in the field.[8] Not only did Muhammad command the army himself, he also brought many of his to ...

Ammar ibn Yasir: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Bassorah - The recruited besiegers of Uthman in Ali's army

Ali's army recruited from the Bedawi settlements and comprised a great number of notorious besiegers of Uthman. Afraid of bringing these into contact with the heated army of his opponents, still breathing out fire and slaughter against them, Ali commanded that; none who had shared in the attack on Uthman should for the present accompany him in his advance. These in their turn, with Al-Ashtar at their head, became alarmed. Talha's troops, sworn to their destruction, were double their number, if peace were patched up, no hope rem ...

Ammar ibn Yasir: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Bassorah - Negotiations

Basra itself was not wholly hostile, and scores of the citizens came out to join the camp of Ali. The insurgent army, which still nearly equalled that of the Caliph, now marched forth with Talha and Zubair at their head, and Aisha herself seated in a well-fenced litter of the camel al-Askar. But Ali's thoughts were for peace if possible.The cry of Talha and Az-Zubeir was for vengeance against the murderers of Uthman; and against these, Ali as yet did not deny that justice should be dealt.But he was obliged to temporise. He had ...

Ammar ibn Yasir: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Bassorah - Counquer of Basra

On the following day, a severe conflict raged throughout the City, which ended in the discomfiture of Ali's party, and so the government passed into the hands of Talha and Zubair. They took along with seventy of the governor officers who were in charge of the public treasury as prisoners. They brought them to Aisha who ordered that they be put to death. The life of Uthman Ibn Hanif, the governor, was spared. Set at liberty, his head and beard were shaven, and his eyelashes and moustaches clipped; and in this sorry plight ...

Ammar ibn Yasir: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Bassorah - Envoy to Medina

An envoy accredited by both sides was deputed to Medina. He arrived there while and forthwith proclaimed his mission before the assembled City. The people at first were silent. At last, one declared that both Talha and Az-Zubeir had done homage under compulsion, whereupon a great tumult arose; and the envoy, having seen and heard enough to prove diversity of view, at once took leave. When the news of these things reached Ali, who was with his army in Nejd, he addressed a letter to Uthman Ibn Hanif, his governor. "There was no compulsi ...

Ammar ibn Yasir: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Bassorah - Basra

The rebel army reached Basra, and encamped close by. Messages were exchanged, and Uthman Ibn Hanif, the governor of Basra, aware that the cry of vengeance on the regicides really covered designs against his master Ali, called an assembly to try the temper of the people. Finding from the uproar that the strangers had a strong party in the city, he put on his armour, and, followed by the larger portion of the citizens, went forth to meet the enemy, who, on their side, was joined from the town by all the malcontents. A parley ensued. Talha, Zubair, and Aisha all three declaimed against th ...
