Guardians of the Islamic Legacy: Resolute During the Apostasy – RE-EDITED!
June 10, 2026BACK⇒ Return to Table of contents
Conclusion
Through the positions of those who remained steadfast on Islam, it becomes clear to us that the main reasons for their perseverance on Islam during this Fitnah were:
- The firm establishment of the Islamic creed in their souls.
- Their correct and sound understanding of the pillars of Islam.
- Their correct understanding of the duties of an individual Muslim, most importantly the commitment to the community and the pledge of allegiance to a single Imam from the righteous believers.
- The presence of leaders who embodied these aforementioned characteristics, and who were able to convince those from their tribes who were about to be deceived by Shaitan’s deception about the truth of Islam. They removed the blinders from their eyes, as is evident from their sermons, such as Abu Harb Rabi’ah ibn Khuwaylid al ‘Aqili[1], Ma’n ibn Hajiz[2], Muaz ibn Yazid ibn al Sa’q al ‘Amiri[3], ‘Adi ibn Hatim al Ta’i[4], Ibn Dhi al Mish’ar al Hamdani[5], ‘Amr ibn al Fuhayl al Zubaidi[6], Ibn Qa’nab[7], Thumamah ibn Uthal[8], Ziyad ibn Labid[9], and Muawiyah ibn al Jawn al Kindi[10].
With this, we conclude our discussion and hope we have succeeded in highlighting what we intended to the best of our ability and capacity.
May Allah’s blessings and peace be upon Muhammad and his family and Companions. And praise be to Allah by Whose favour all good deeds are accomplished.
