Fitna e Zaman e Uthman - Dr Israr Ahmad

This lecture details the origins and escalation of unrest during the Caliphate of Uthman ibn Affan. It focuses on the role of Abdullah ibn Saba, a figure who instigated dissent by exploiting existing tribal rivalries between the Banu Hashim and Banu Umayya. The lecture highlights Uthman’s reluctance to use force against the agitators unless they committed a clear crime, even as the unrest spread from Kufa to Damascus and Medina. It emphasizes his commitment to due process and unwillingness to shed the blood of those professing Islam, even while facing a growing conspiracy. The lecture also explores the challenges faced by Uthman in controlling the situation given the lack of modern communication and the vastness of the territory under his rule. It draws parallels to the story of Cain and Abel, illustrating Uthman’s principled stance.
