La Main d’Allah

Description

La Main d'Allah

d' Eveline Bustros

La mort d'Ali – gendre do Prophète – livra le trône à Moawia – de la famille d'Ommeyya – et lui soumit apparemment l'Iraq. Elle lui permit de réaliser son ambition suprême : L'institution du califat héréditaire. La main d'Allah n'est qu'un épisode de la trame ourdie par ce monarque avec la complicité du destin – pour l'établissement de sa dynastie en faveur de son fils Yazid. The death of Ali – The son in-law of the Prophet Mohamed eventually led to Moawia from the Ommeyya family to take over and be in charge of Iraq. This change of leadership led Moawia to institute a heridetary system for the caliphate.

La main d'Allah in only a chapter in what is otherwise a web of events that took place at the start of this dynastyis, and led to the succession of his son Yazid.
