Today,
i will discuss about civil war beetwen Muslims that broke at Umayyad Dynasty s age. This
civil war broke beetwen Umayyad Dynasty Authority, and Caliph s s candidate,
Abdullah Ibn Zubayr. This story, good for lesson to Muslims. We as Muslims,
must united and not became enemy beetwen Muslims. Ok, lets start it, and dont

Ibn
Kathir record this event at his book: Al-Bidayah Wa an-Nihayah, that tell at 73 H, Abdullah Ibn Zubayr die
because killed by Hajjaj Ibn Yusuf, Umayyad Commander.
At
64 H, Umayyad Caliph, Yazid Ibn Muawiya, choose his son, named Muawiya Ibn
Yazid ( Muawiya II) for became Caliph Of Umayyad. But, Muawiya Ibn Yazid is uncompeten
person, and he die 3 month after became a caliph. Several officer at Syria, agree Abdullah Ibn Zubayr, became Caliph replaced
Muawiya II. But, Ubaidullah Ibn Ziyad, who joined Hussain Ibn Ali s murdered at
Karbala, provocated Marwan Ibn Hakam to became caliph. Because Ubaidullah fear Abdullah became Caliph, he fear get punishment
because kill Husayn at Karbala. Several People Of Syria, agree Abdul Malik Ibn
Marwan, became Caliph. Abdullah Ibn Zubayr ruled Hijaz, and Marwan Ibn Hakam
ruled Iraq and Sham.
Abdul
Malik Ibn Marwan send his commander, Hajjaj Ibn Yusuf to captured Mecca from
Abdullah Ibn Zubayr. Abdul Malik s army move to Mecca, under command of Al-Hajjaj Ibn Yusuf. They
captured Mecca with giant mangonels, many Civilian Of Mecca leave Abd Allah Ibn
Zubayr.
According
Ibn Kathir, at 70 TH, Byzantine Emperor use this chance for attack Islamic
Territories. Byzantine Army attack Syria, and kill many people at this place,
Caliph Abdul Malik Ibn Marwan held peace threat with Byzantine Empire, and
bribe Byzantine Emperor with 1000 gold. Abdul Malik moved with great army for
attack Abdullah s brother, Mushab. Mushab killed at this battle.
At
73 H, Abdullah Ibn Zubayr killed by Hajjaj Ibn Yusuf. Caliph Abdul Malik
appointed Hajjaj Ibn Yusuf for Caliphate s deputy at Iraq. Hajjaj also attack rebel
from Khawariji, that lead by Shabib. Shabib killed at this battle.
At
79 H, Byzantine Army captured Antiokhia from Umayyad Caliphate, and they kill
many civilians at this place. And, at same year, the epydemics attack Syria,
until many people die at this place.
For
this history, we can studied, split became factor of Allah Subhanahuwataala s
angry. Because this, we as Muslims, must
unitd for goodness. Dont each blame one by one, because, if we do this, Muslim s united will
became weak, and Islamic enemies, can attack Muslims from all sides. Make a harmonius enviroment beetwen Muslims, no each blame one by one
because small different.
