🔻"Sunni Views on Imam Hussain (a.s.) Movement"
Lec1: Classical Period
speaker: Dr. Farhad Ghoddoussi
Aug 3, 2025
summary:
In the first lecture of this series, we focused on the views of the scholars of the classical period. In this context, we can discuss the spectrum of Sunni Muslims' views by looking to their views regarding the person and character of Imam Husayn (ع) or his movement or his opponent Yazid ibn Mu'awiyah.
As it was thoroughly discussed during the lecture after the effective establishment and consolidation of the basic tenets of Sunni Islam in the first of third century A.H. by the hand of scholars such as Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Nasibi views (pro Umayyad and hostile to Ahlul- Bayt) did not find any official and recognizable place in the hadith and theology of Sunni Islam, but traces of some of their views were remained, not so manifestly, in the body of Sunni scholarship and sources which later on was exploited and emphasized by scholars like Ibn Taymiyah.
As a result of the above development and due to the existence of the verses such as Q42:23 (مودة), Q33:33(تطهیر), Q3:61(مباهله) in the Qur'an and hadiths on the lofty of status Ahlul- Bayt like Hadith Thaqalayn(ثقلین), Hadith Noah's Ark (سفینة النجاة) and Hadith of Cloak(کساء) in the Sunni collection of hadithes such as Bukhari and Muslim, nearly all the Sunni Muslim scholars express their respect and love for Ahlul-Bayt including Imam Husayn (ع), although they do not consider him infallible.
Therefore, the discussion of the Sunni views on the person or character of Imam Husayn (ع) does not produce enough differentiation to reflect the spectrum of Sunni views on Imam Husayn's movement. This spectrum is most discernable when the character and actions of Yazid ibn Muawiyah, the opponent of the Imam Husayn (ع) is considered, which was what we mainly focused on, in this lecture.
This discussion was arranged around the five category division of classical era Sunni views in regard to Yazid as it is proposed by the well-known US based Sunni scholar and speaker Dr. Yasir Qadi in his lecture titled "An Analysis of the History of Yazid b. Mu'awiyyah (Muharram 1444)":
1) Scholars who considered Yazid kafar (not a Muslim by heart) and that he deserved to be cursed (لعن).
2) Scholars who consider him only nominally Muslim but practically immoral and dissolute and deserved to be cursed.
3) Scholars who consider him immoral and wicked and his actions reprehensible and condemnable. This group which consists of the largest of the 5 groups strongly criticize Yazid character and actions but avoid and recommend not cursing him.
4) A group which prefer to keep silent and avoid criticizing him and leave the matter to God and hereafter.
5) A minority but with an influence more than their number specially on the neo-salafi movements that considers the caliphate of Yazid legitimate and has partially tried to rehabilitate his character and justify his actions in regard to the events in Karbala and also atrocities in Medina and seize of Mecca and partial destruction of Ka'ba by his army. Some in this group have gone as far as writing book on the virtues of Yazid.
In the course of this lecture, we discussed in more detail regarding some of the scholars who belong to each of these categories and looked to some of the representative examples of their views.

Lec2: Contemporary Intellectuals
speaker: Dr. Farhad Ghoddoussi
Aug 4, 2025
summary:
In the second lecture of this series, we focused on contemporary (lay) intellectuals.
From a political stand point, the movement (نهضت) of Imam Husayn (ع) with its emphasize on "Enjoining Good and Forbidding Evil" and with its dimensions of sacrifice and martyrdom obviously exercises a powerful attraction for all the modern Shi'i or Sunni reform or revolutionary movements, whose goal is challenging the established order in the Muslim world.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, when partly as a consequence of the modernism associated with the names of Seyyed Jamaluddin Asadabadi (Afghani) and Muhammad 'Abduh, many a hallowed stereotype in Islamic history has been revised, the meaning and nature of Imam Husayn's (ع) uprising too has gradually come under fresh scrutiny and interpretation.
But any contemporary Muslim political activist, with a rationalist turn of mind, and anxious to mobilize all the resources of the Muslim historical conscience in the service of a political cause, cannot use this drama for his purpose without first tackling a problem inherent in the drama, relating to Imam Husayn's leadership. The problem is whether Husayn acted responsibly and wisely by launching a revolt without adequate foresight and power, and if his revolt was merely an act of self-sacrifice, whether the long-term results justified its immediate negative consequences for the Shi‘i community, or Muslims in general, and therefore whether or how it should be emulated?
For the Shi'is the problem is more intricate, any attempt to addressing the above question cannot avoid the implications of their answer for the Shi'i theology and political theory and its understanding of nature of knowledge and function of Imams as infallible guides.
Perhaps it was because of the relative ease of their task and their earlier and more intense engagement with western colonialism and therefore the urgent sense for reform and change, the first Muslim writers in recent history to question the traditional accounts of the Imam Husayn movement were the Sunnis. But they had to confront to a lesser degree some Sunni scholars who had evaluated negatively Imam Husayn (ع) movement as a disruption of the prevailing consensus, and to a more degree those views that consider the Imam Husayn (ع) movement although justified, but as an ill-considered move which was bound to end in failure.
Ibn Khaldün's the outstanding historian is among those who has expressed the second line of criticism. He asserts that rebellion against Yazid was justified because of his wickedness. Imam Husayn was therefore right in regarding a revolt against Yazid as a duty incumbent on those who had the power to execute it.
But Ibn Khaldun thinks that Husayn was wrong in confusing his qualifications with his power. His qualifications were as good as he thought, and better, but he was mistaken as to his strength. Yazid, on the other hand, was wrong in trying to justify his actions against Husayn by arguing that he was fighting evildoers, because any such action should be undertaken only by a just ruler, which he was not.
Nearly all the contemporary lay, secular and even Marxist thinkers who have tried to give a fresh and new interpretation of Imam Husayn (ع) movement have tried to address the above two criticism specially the second one.
The contemporary lay and somewhat secular intellectuals and thinkers, which we briefly discussed their views, were:
1) IbrähIm 'Abd al-Qädir Mäzini (1889-1949).
2) 'Abbäs Mahmüd al-'Aqqäd (1889-1964).
3) 'Abd al-Rahmän al-Sharqäw'i ( 1920-1987).

Lec3: Contemporary Clergies (Religious Scholars)
speaker: Dr. Farhad Ghoddoussi
Aug 5, 2025
summary:
In the third lecture of this series, we focused on modern/contemporary religious scholars and writers.
The Sunni reinterpretation of the events in Karbalä' has not been confined to lay, more secular or Westernized enclaves, but also strongly discussed among the clerical or religious minded circles.
These clerical and religious minded circles similar to their lay and secular counterparts had to deal with to a lesser degree with the views of some of the classical era Sunni scholars who had evaluated negatively Imam Husayn (ع) movement as a disruption of the prevailing consensus (represented by Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi(1076-1148AD) ), and to a more degree deal with those views that consider the Imam Husayn (ع) movement although justified, but as an ill-considered move which was bound to end in failure (represented by Ibn Khaldun(1332-1406)) .
In this third lecture we discussed briefly the views of the following religious Sunni scholars and writers and effectively we can divide those which we discussed into two categories of modern (all Egyptian and deceased):
1) Muhammad Kämil al-Bannä,
2) Muhammad Ghazzäli (1917-1996),
3) Abd al-Raqim Füdah,
4) Muhammad Abü Zahrah (1898-1974) and
5) Khälid Muhammad Khälid (1920-1996)
and contemporary ones:
6) Farid al-Bahraini (Salaft/Wahhabi social media personality),
7) Sheikh Omar Suleiman(1986-) and
8) Sheikh Yasir Qadhi(1975-).
We can summarize the previous survey of the view of both lay/secular and clerical/religious thinker and writers by saying that all the contemporary Sunni writers mentioned in the last two lectures (maybe with the exception of Farid al-Bahraini) are unanimous in their rejection of Abu Bakr Ibn al-'Arabi's apologia for Yazid as an honorable man. They also contest Ibn Khaldün 's verdict that Imam Husayn's movement was based on his erroneous estimation of his strength, and was therefore a wrong move, because they maintain that the matter should not be judged on pragmatic and utilitarian grounds, otherwise the central meaning of Imam Husayn's martyrdom will be lost.
Some writers praise Imam Husayn for moral, others for political, reasons and in the course of their arguments, they all somewhat moved closer to the Shi'i understanding of the Imam Husayn movement. None of these writers, however, bases his argument on a critical analysis of historical texts with a view to discovering their inconsistencies and inaccuracies, which is what the academic western scholarship is mostly concerned about. Rather, they all rely on individual reflection and speculation, and simply reinterpreted or read their present thoughts into the traditional sources.

🔻"Sunni Views on Imam Hussain (a.s.) Movement"
Lec4: Was Yazid ibn Muawiyah Part of the First Campaign Against the Byzantine (Roman) Empire — and Why Does It Matter?
speaker: Dr. Farhad Ghoddoussi
Sep 7, 2025
summary:
In this fourth lecture, we focused on the issue of the Yazid ibn Muawiyah's participation in the first campaign against the Byzantine empire and it's importance.
Usually, the first Arab/Muslim attempt to conquer Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine empire, is assumed to have occurred during Muawiyah's caliphate, but there is disagreement about the year and even the number of attempts. It has been dated to 44, 48, 54, and 59 AH. It has become famous that Yazid ibn Muawiyah was present in this first campaign.
According to a hadith in Sahih Bukhari (Hadith 2924, Book 56 Al-Jihad wa al-Siyar, Hadith 137), the Prophet promises that the first group to undertake a naval campaign will have Paradise made obligatory for them, and the first group to undertake a land campaign against the city of Caesar (Constantinople?!) will have their sins forgiven.
Some Sunni scholars, for absolving Yazid ibn Muawiyah of the grave sins which he committed during his caliphate, with the motivation of producing legitimacy for the Umayyad rule have tried to place Yazid in the second group above, with the conclusion that his sins were forgiven even before he committing them. However, a recent paper by Nathaniel Miller (Al-ʿUṣūr al-Wusṭā 31 (2023): 45-76) argues satisfactorily that the first attempt toward conquering Byzantium and its capital Constantinople took place in 33/34 AH (654 CE) during Uthman's caliphate when Muawiya was the governor of Syria(Levant, شام).
This major military campaign, which was conducted both by land and sea, ended in defeat in both fronts. There is not much trace regarding this major defeated campaign in Islamic historical sources except a one line in History of Khalifa ibn al-Khayyat and a reference to a counter offensive by Byzantines a year after this campaign, that in which Byzantines were defeated, in al-Tabari history. However, the Armenian history attributed to Sebeos, the Christian bishop and historian of the 7th century AD. discusses this battle in some detail. A third important source is the surviving Arabic poetry by Abu al-Ayal al-Hudhali from the first half of the 4th decade AH. Abu al-Ayal was among the Muslim soldiers present in Egypt during the caliphates of Umar and Uthman and participated in this campaign.
Abu al-'Ayal in an open letter in verse addressed to Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan, Amr ibn al-'As, and Abdullah ibn Saad ibn Abi Sarh (governor of Egypt after Amr ibn al-'As) relates, the Muslim soldiers present in Egypt blamed Muawiyah and Ibn Abi Sarah for the defeat. This defeat was among the important factors of Egyptians dissatisfaction with Uthman. The Muslim soldiers present in Egypt played a prominent role in the siege of Uthman's house in Medina, which ultimately led to his assassination. This defeat was the first major setback of Muslims during the twenty-year period of conquests up to that time, and this defeat probably became the main factor in the survival of the Byzantine Empire, unlike the Sassanid Empire. This defeat, due to its important theological and historical consequences, was treated mostly with silence in the Islamic historical sources.
Independent of the reliability and authenticity of the hadith under discussion, this work by Nathaniel Miller shows that the first military campaign against Constantinople occurred during Uthman's time and Yazid did not and due to his young age could not have participated in it and therefore could not be considered among the second group mentioned in the hadith.

🟥 Lecture in Persian, can be watched with closed caption (CC) and auto-translate on our channel.
Summary:
In this session, which was the first in this series of lectures, we presented a brief historical overview of the developments in Islamic theology (‘Ilm al-Kalām). For anyone interested in becoming familiar with the history of Islamic theology, its background, and its relationship with Greek philosophy in just one session, listening to this lecture would be beneficial. In this session, we also discussed the contribution of theology to the civilizational aspects of Islam. Furthermore, we talked about the meaning of general (‘jumalī’) beliefs, what the minimal definition of being a Muslim is, and why Islam does not have a church-style theological system.
