Description:
Shortly after declaring himself as the new Caliph in Kufa, Saffah sent Khorasan’s army to fight against the Umayyads under the leadership of Marwan II. The two armies met at the Battle of Zaab in Northern Iraq, and the Umayyads were defeated even though they outnumbered the Khorasan army. The main reason for their defeat was Marwan II’s strategic mistake to pass his troops over a temporary bridge on the Zaab River, then destroying the bridge upon his initial defeat by Khorasan’s army. He abandoned most of his soldiers on the other side of the Zaab River, which led to them drowning upon withdrawal. Marwan II escaped to Egypt after his defeat, and was captured and killed by the Abbasids. <br/>Upon Marwan II’s death, the Umayyad Caliphate was officially terminated. The Umayyad Caliphate was founded by Muawiyah after the peace treaty with Imam Hasan (AS) in the year 41 of Hijri, and lasted for around 91 long years. The Umayyads, who are called the accursed tree in the Quran [17:60], were the main enemies of the Prophet during his time. Under the leadership of Abu-Sufyan, Muawiyah’s father, the Umayyads had led the unbelievers’ army and participated in multiple battles against the Holy Prophet. After years of opposition, they did not convert to Islam, except to save their lives when the Muslims had conquered their home city of Mecca. They never had sincere belief in the teachings of the Prophet. Surprisingly, these opponents of the Prophet acquired the government over the Prophet’s followers, and established the first monarchy after him. The Umayyads were not only looking out for their own interests, but also used every opportunity to eliminate the true teachings of the Prophet. They interpreted Islam in a way that would benefit them, twisting it into a fallacious rendition. The Shia Imams, who had realized the threat of the Umayyads against Islam, used their entire potential to confront them since the beginning of their existence. The military activities of Imam Ali, Imam Hasan, and Imam Hossein against the Umayyads had aimed for this. The tragedy of Karbala was enough to disqualify the Umayyads as legitimate Islamic governors. After the tragedy, the focus of the activities of Imam Sajjad, Imam Baqir, and Imam Sadiq was to provide the true teachings of the Prophet for the Muslims, and confront the false Islam that was presented in the society by the Umayyads.
