Ali and Mu’aweya • Mu’aweya is asked by Na’yla* to retaliate for Uthman* • Mu’aweya* refuses to follow Ali* before ALL those participated in the revolution against Uthman are executed. Estimated ~2500 in all. • Ali refuses to kill or surrender the rebels: • Not all rebels are involved in the murder plot (like Ammar* bin Yaser*) • Just and fair trials have to take place • The Khalifah has to restore order first, then deliver justice according to Islamic Shari’a *May Allah be pleased with them and all of the Sahaba
Ali and Mu’aweya • Amr* bin Al-A’as joins Mu’aweya* • Abdullah* bin Abi As-Sarh joins Mu’aweya • Shurahbil bin As-Samt (Hims) calls for Mu’aweya to become Khalifa. Since there has to be a Khalifa among Muslims on Muaweya’s side. • Ali* sees in deviding the Muslim Ummah a worse Fitna than the murder of Uthman. Decides to move with his army to Al-Shaam to restore order and unity *May Allah be pleased with them and all of the Sahaba

Mu’awya Kharabta Kays bin Saad Agreement of Tahkeem (Judgment) is reached 13 or 15th Safar 37 A.H.
Mu’awya Dumat Al-Jandal Kharabta Kays bin Saad Agreement of Tahkeem (Judgment) is reached 13 or 15th Safar 37 A.H.
Tahkeem • Ali realizes the trick from Mu’aweya and Amr, but his army is sharply divided over the issue. Ali accepts against his own judgment. • Abu Musa is to represent Ali, and Amr is to represent Mu’aweya • Contract of Judgment written in Safar 37 A.H. Actual meeting is to take place in Ramadhan 37H in Dumat Al-Jandal
Tahkeem • 12,000 of Ali’s army are angered by the Tahkeem. They leave the army to Harura’. • This is the beginning of Al-Khawarej. • Abdullah bin Abbas and Ali convince them to return to Ali’s side. (temporarily)
Tahkeem • Amr and Abu Musa meet in Dumat Al-Jandal in Ramadhan 37 A.H. A group of Sahaba is present. • Tahkeem events. (Common historical myths, not supported by good references or common sense)
Tahkeem • Ali refuses to accept the ruling: • Still no agreement on a Khalifa. • Not based on Quran or Sunna. • Ali’s speech in Kufa to resume fighting against Mu’aweya • Khawarej leave Ali’s camp and ask for his Tawbah
Fighting Khawarej • Ali prepared his army to invade Al-Shaam. • Al-Basra army show lack of support. 3,200 fighters show up out of 60,000. • Kufa army responds, but demands dealing with Khawarej first. • Ali has 68,000 fighters.
Fighting Khawarej • Khawarej were strict and diligent worshipers with misguided interpretation of religion. • They lacked support of any Sahabi. (none in their camp, in contrast to Ali’s and Mu’aweya’s) • Some hated the dominance of Quraysh over Khilafa • Crimes of Khawarej: Abdulla bin Khabbab. Takfeer. • Ali decides to deal with Khawarej first. • Ali fights Khawarej and defeats them in Al-Nahrawan.
Ali’s army waekens: • Many killed in Seffeen • Not enough support from Basra • Many Khawarej among their clans • Tired of consecutive battles • Confused by division and Fitna • Events of Egypt: further weakness and division
