Muawiya vs Al-Hassan (Ft Sayed Mohammed ...

After Maghrib
About this episode

It’s time we talked about Imam Hassan (AS). The second Imam of the Shia is often vilified or overlooked, particularly regarding his misunderstood “peace treaty” with Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan. In this episode, the respected Sayed Mohammed Hassan Al Sheraa helps us navigate his wisdom amidst the misconceptions, especially in light of recent discussions surrounding the Muawiyah series released by MBC this Ramadan. Who really was al-Hassan (AS), and what betrayal and hypocrisy can be seen from Banu Umayyah? A must-hear discussion this Shahr Ramadan.
