The Prophetic Prophecies regarding the Umayyad dynasty

The prophecies of Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) regarding Muawyiah, his rule, and the entire Umayyad dynasty, enlightens this important point that the Umayyad individuals did not pay attention to the sayings of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) and were ready to dissociate the true successors of the Holy Prophet from their rights due to their greed for power, and with their extensive propagations and rumours, they deceived those common people who did not have enough awareness about the principles of Islam, and introduced themselves as the true successors of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) and his righteous caliphs.

          The prophetic prophecies not just rightly prove the misguidance of those who are friends with the Umayyad dynasty, and those who have weakened the pillars of the religion by supporting them; in other words, they prove the misguidance of the Umayyad dynasty and their misleading character.

          It is a surprising point that even after the restrictions and prohibitions laid by Umar with reference to the propagation of Hadith and the promotion of the Prophet’s sayings, the prophecies made by him became public in such a manner that not only the politicians of that time, but the common people were also aware of it.

          It is necessary to remind that the prophecies of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) and Imam Ali (a.s.) are not just mentioned by the clerics and scholars of the Shiite community, but are also narrated by the historians and clerics of the Sunni sect in their books; and in this way, it has acted as an authentic source of making the people aware of the characteristics and behaviours of the Umayyad individuals.
