There are many people who are born into muslim families and by default become muslim. Like Yazid they dont have fear of Allah, love for the Prophets of Islam or for our beloved scripture Quran. They are power/money hungry and are the follow Iblees( their nafs). In Islam there is NO MONARCHY than why did the Ummayyads practice it? And others who follow suit like them are no better.
Allahu Akbar, an excellent & well balanced view of Yazeed. I was brought up in the Ahlus-Sunnah Wal-Jama'ah but many years later when I started to understand the quranic text in my limited way it became clear to me the theme of the Quran; One Allah; One Quran; One Deen; Final Prophet & One Ummah. My conclusion was the moment I identiified myself belonging to the Ahlu Sunnah, I was splitting the ummah because this division could not have existed in the Prophet's time.
Islam is not a numbers game because the majority of the Muslims are Sunni therefore they must be right and the Shias must be wrong. I am just a Muslim who obey Allah & His Rasul. I have no issues with my Shia brothers. In fact I support Iran & Hizbullah because they are the Muslims that are standing against the US & Apartheid Israel.
To conclude my point you have delivered a persuasive argument for & against the conduct of Yazeed leaving it up to us to decide. After considering your lecture that one should not curse Yazeed, I believe even if he did not directly kill the Prophet's grandson, he enabled the gruesome killing of Imam Husain. And this was no ordinary killing it was the killing of the prophet's grandson and bear in mind that the Prophet was no ordinary prophet. He was by all accounts the highest ranking messenger, untill the day of account that walked this earth with his blessed feet. I have no doubt for this most foul murder the Prophet would have taken Yazeed's miserable life himself and if not, then S. Umar would have done so. Jahannam is a befitting place for Yazeed for beheading Imam Husain the grandson of Allah's most beloved prophet. A treacherous deed indeed to challenge the Supreme Being.
As long as we keep pushing ibne taymiyya as a reasonable non extremist, sectarian violence will continue. He literally said kill Shias but you make him sound like a reasonable centrist. Sunni centers need to root out the wahabism that’s creeped in over the last several decades. Can’t pretend to be the religion of peace but turn a blind eye to violent literature.
He is the leader of youth in heaven, you can't just call this history. There is a sahih hadith saying if you pray all your like and fast but have hatred for the ahle bayt you will go to hell. We can't be neutral in the Israel Palestine issue so how can we in the matter of the Ahle bayt, the Shia are right in many ways. The women of our Prophet's SAWW household had their hijabs torn away. This isn't just history this is what Islam is all about Hussain saved Islam.
"Our religion is divine and our history is human". Excellent. Excellent. This statement puts the Fitna that happened in the first century of Hijra in its right perspective.
Really trying to make sense of the barbaric early history of Islam. Everyone was sweet and dandy. You’re whitewashing a bloody and terrifying history (that is not exclusive to yazid) in order to save your traditional understanding and ‘theology’. The truth is clear and apparent. Mohammed’s Will was disobeyed and rejected. Hence this bloody mess. The massacre of Hussein was necessary in order to bring clarity to this successive trail of fitna that was a DIRECT consequence of rejecting Mohammed’s will. It’s ugly, and no matter how hard you try to whitewash it, you cannot diminish it’s barbarism. Common sense is clearly not very common. Using random Hadith opportunistically patch up an absolute calamitous history.
No the issue of "nobody Sympathes of Yazid" Ibnul Arabi Almalik May Allah forgive him saya that Husain was killed with the sword of his grandfather" and today we hear people saying that Husain was trying to devid the Umma.
Look how the ummah of RasoollAllah SAWW defending the murderer of their children.. and calling their self momin.. imagine how RasoollAllah will feel if he see his ummah like this.. The person who defend yazeed May he will be with yazeed and their ancestors at the day of judgement..
No yasir wrong again our beloved prophet pbuh grandson didnt go to fight he went becuz yazid tricked him in coming who takes their wives children etc to war it was a migration.
On the day of resurrection all you so called Muslims who reject the beloved prophet Muhammad PBUH family! They will appear in front of you and answer all your questions.
May Allah swt keep Shaik Yasir Qadhi healthy and happy for ever! He is one of the greatest and fewest scholars who’s knowledge is unbelievable! I love you Shaik for the sake of Allah!
Forget exonerating Yazid, Muawiyya gets the blame too after his unilateral move of taking Sham from Ali bin abu Twalib Khilafa, this was the pivotal point of Division in the Umma. Lest we forget the battle of Siffin was the first major Fitna in this Umma. Muawiyya later handpicked his son to the throne despite his lack of knowledge & practice of Deen & thus setting the precedence of Father Son Dynasty or Tyranny in Muslim world hitherto. Sheikh Qadhi what's your take on this.
Remind me again why it matters that Yazid is guilty or not? If he is he will be punished in Akhira. If not he will be forgiven. Does it really matter to us? I don't think so. This is not a useful thing to spend the time on.
Our history is human and this history have the route in some horrible behavior of the "great" so called sahaba's: Abu Baker, Umar, Uthman, Aisha, Muawia, who have done a lot of horrible things related to Ahlul Bayt (See Fatima, Imam Ali, Imam Hussan, Imam Hassan, AS on all)
If Husain had given allegiance and not risen against a "Muslim Khalifa" Yazid (do you realize what he would have changed in young religion), neither the Ahl-e-Sunnah nor the Shia would have had the Islam they are following currently. Historical, yes? Theological, yes !
The conflicts between Ali and Muaviya or Yazid and Hussain has nothing to do with Islam, it was just political. These conflicts were similar to: suljuks vs Fatmids, and Safavi vs Ottomans etc
The murder of hussain was just like the murders of other relatives of the Prophet such as Usman, Zubair, Talha, etc, and all of those deaths are equally sad.
To not put under arrest the general and to poke the head of the dead to then attack Zubair ra and Haramein itself means to be party to 2 murders of 2 greatest sons of Islam was an act of pure kufr by a Muslim… Laana on Yazid and the general and the killers
its astonishing to hear as a muslim the notion that all sahaba are good no matter how and when they joined islam and there lives cant be examined as long as they saw the prophet, but then there children are out of this theological belief and can be examined. who are the hypocrites the quran spoke of that the prophet didnt know of? where does this theological belief come from? isnt there proof that two wives of the prophet even had there hearts deviated as told in the quran? surely common sense says if it is possible for wives who live with the prophet can even deviate why is it impossible to believe for others?
قُلْ لَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَىٰ Qul: lā as’alukum ‘alayhi ajran illal-mawaddata fil-qurbā Say: I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives (Sūratush Shūrā, No.42, Āyat 23)
The only point I need to raise you mentioned Yazeed Era as Khilafa but according to majority of Ulema it was Malookiat .
The Khilafa ended on Hazrat Hassan R.A once he handed over power voluntarily to Hazrat Mawaiaa R.A

May Allah Bless you shykh

Basically to Islam happened what happened to the followers of previous revelations. They were Moses and became Pharaoh at some point.
Hussain didn't go to fight yazid, who takes family, children and friends to fight khalifa???

Having political independence is not only good but an Islamic obligation on all Muslims especially the Ulema class
He is the leader of youth in heaven, you can't just call this history. There is a sahih hadith saying if you pray all your like and fast but have hatred for the ahle bayt you will go to hell.

Wt a said, i thought u hv good knowledge, yazeed was part of 18th group not first.
Summary:
Shia hate yazid
Sunnis dislike yazid
Salafis like yazid

MashaAllah! It's a very good information that we knew. May Almighty Allah SWT bless you.

Excellent explanation. Yazid a cruel brutal Muslim corrupted Islam history
No the issue of "nobody Sympathes of Yazid" Ibnul Arabi Almalik May Allah forgive him saya that Husain was killed with the sword of his grandfather" and today we hear people saying that Husain was trying to devid the Umma.
Look how the ummah of RasoollAllah SAWW defending the murderer of their children.. and calling their self momin.. imagine how RasoollAllah will feel if he see his ummah like this..
The person who defend yazeed May he will be with yazeed and their ancestors at the day of judgement..
No yasir wrong again our beloved prophet pbuh grandson didnt go to fight he went becuz yazid tricked him in coming who takes their wives children etc to war it was a migration.
Why you are calling imam Hussain shadat as a dearth or killed
On the day of resurrection all you so called Muslims who reject the beloved prophet Muhammad PBUH family! They will appear in front of you and answer all your questions.

Muawiyya later handpicked his son to the throne despite his lack of knowledge & practice of Deen & thus setting the precedence of Father Son Dynasty or Tyranny in Muslim world hitherto.
Sheikh Qadhi what's your take on this.
Now I am clear about this topic. Jazakallah
Bitter truth. Yazid is hellbent. I sense that present ruling dynasties in ME are direct descendant of him.
Are you related to Yazeed ? You seem to defend the indefensible.
Massacre of Hussain? Please be careful with your words. You are talking about the prophet’s grandson. Use the word shahadat.
I don't think any decent person, Sunni or Shia could like yazid. Hope he gets what he deserves.
Remind me again why it matters that Yazid is guilty or not? If he is he will be punished in Akhira. If not he will be forgiven. Does it really matter to us? I don't think so. This is not a useful thing to spend the time on.
I feel nothing but hatred for this individual…how can a person be so evil, heartless and cruel audhubillah!
Our history is human and this history have the route in some horrible behavior of the "great" so called sahaba's: Abu Baker, Umar, Uthman, Aisha, Muawia, who have done a lot of horrible things related to Ahlul Bayt (See Fatima, Imam Ali, Imam Hussan, Imam Hassan, AS on all)
Yazid was unaware ? Why did he parade the members of Husain's women and children in Damascus ?
If Husain had given allegiance and not risen against a "Muslim Khalifa" Yazid (do you realize what he would have changed in young religion), neither the Ahl-e-Sunnah nor the Shia would have had the Islam they are following currently. Historical, yes? Theological, yes !
Y didn't they give oath to Yazid? Because he was the MBS of that time… [Mohamed Bin Salman- drunkard and womaniser]
Nevertheless Dr Yasir Qadhi's lecture is mostly a sound analysis
Salamun alykum,Is it true some of the sahabas took part in Yazids army and massacred the prophets family at karbala??
The conflicts between Ali and Muaviya or Yazid and Hussain has nothing to do with Islam, it was just political. These conflicts were similar to: suljuks vs Fatmids, and Safavi vs Ottomans etc
The murder of hussain was just like the murders of other relatives of the Prophet such as Usman, Zubair, Talha, etc, and all of those deaths are equally sad.
To not put under arrest the general and to poke the head of the dead to then attack Zubair ra and Haramein itself means to be party to 2 murders of 2 greatest sons of Islam was an act of pure kufr by a Muslim… Laana on Yazid and the general and the killers
Friday sermons should cover the topics related to Deen. Separate sessions should be arranged to cover history
Much of the details of the story of Karbala are just like the Facebook posts of our times.
Cursing any historical figure based on partial, incomplete, and bias information is ignorance.
…so basically everything happened because of muawiah giving his son power when he shouldn't have?
its astonishing to hear as a muslim the notion that all sahaba are good no matter how and when they joined islam and there lives cant be examined as long as they saw the prophet, but then there children are out of this theological belief and can be examined. who are the hypocrites the quran spoke of that the prophet didnt know of? where does this theological belief come from? isnt there proof that two wives of the prophet even had there hearts deviated as told in the quran? surely common sense says if it is possible for wives who live with the prophet can even deviate why is it impossible to believe for others?
For some reason, I feel like the Arab speaking world seems to have a more pro Yazid stance such as Uthman Khamis et al
قُلْ لَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَىٰ
Qul: lā as’alukum ‘alayhi ajran illal-mawaddata fil-qurbā
Say: I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives
(Sūratush Shūrā, No.42, Āyat 23)
Yazid is cursed…
But shias should not disrepect other rightious caliphs of islam…thats unbearable..
We love all four caliphs…
