Life of HUD (PBUH) Part 1 By Sheikh Anwar Al-Awalaki

Mu'awiyah ibn Abi Sufyan the 1st caliph of the Umayyad dynasty (661-750 AD) moved the capital of the Muslim Empire from Medina north towards Damascus. From Damascus, the Muslim empire expanded tremendously. The Umayyads gave the world a number of architectural legacies including the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem and the Great Mosque in Damascus.

In the Jordanian desert the Umayyads built pavilions, caravan stations, secluded baths and hunting lodges known as Desert Castles. Filled with mosaic pavements, fresco paintings, carved stucco depicting people, animals, events and patterns; Desert Castles stand as monuments to the spectacular and original early Islamic art.

On a hilltop, not far from Jerash, you can visit the shrine of Prophet Hud Peace be Upon Him. Here is a modern mosque with a cave inside where Prophet Hud Peace be Upon Him is believed buried. He preached to the people of Ad to only worship the One God The One and Only God instead of their idols. Prophet Hud Peace be Upon Him has the 11th Sura in the Holy Qur'an named after him.

Known in Arabic as Fahl, Pella was the site of the famous Battle of Fahl, fought between Byzantines and the Muslim army led by Khalid ibn Al-Walid May Allah be Pleased with Him and Abu Ubeida Amer ibn Al-Jarrah May Allah be Pleased with Him in January 635 AD. The outcome was a Muslim victory and liberation of Jordan from Byzantine rule.

one of the reasones why ALLAH sends prophetes so as the people wouldnt have excuses during the daye of judgment as they really came to us in our life time and warned us of the daye of judgment therfore ALLAH sends prophetes as warners to the peolple

Astaghfurallah, why are brothers posting such rude comments?? If we are supposed "Muslims" then there should be no differences... This is why the Caliphate/Ummah will never return. When will everyone wake up????

مدحوا النبى وخونوا اصحابه ورموهمو بالظلم والعدوان

قل ان خير الانبياء محمد واجل من يمشى على الكثبان

واجل صحب الرسل صحب محمدو كذاك افضل صحبه العمران

[darkness55eyes]

لا تعتقد دين الروافض انهم اهل المحانى وحزبة الشيطان

جعلوا الشهور على قياس حسابهم ولربما كمل لنا شهران

ولربما نقص الذى هو عندهم وافٍ واوفى صاحب النقصان

ان الروافض شر من وطأ الحصى من كل انس ناطق او جانِ

[shasa81]

Fact:

Muawiya..was a bastard...4 men claimed to be his father.Soffian(laanat) was one of them.

They were the true enemies of Prophet(pbuh) and his Ahle-Bayt and will always be.
