Question
Even Bid'atis of the Ahlus Sunnah, i.e. not Shiahs, criticize Hadhrat Muaawiya (Radhiyallahu anhu) for having appointed his son Yazeed as the Khalifah. What is the response for this?
Answer
The response is Jahannam - the Fire of Hell. We have no right sitting here in this era, fourteen centuries after the Sahaabah, to examine and criticize the Sahaabah. Those who do so, do so at the peril of losing their Imaan. Allah Ta'ala will judge the Sahaabah. Only munaafiqeen criticize the Sahaabah. Those who criticize Hadhrat Muaawiyah (Radhiyallahu anhu) are among the Kilaabun Naar (Dogs of the Fire). Bid'atis are not part of the Ahlus Sunnah. They are vile innovators and grave-worshippers.
