Re: Hazrat Yazid: Did the muslims gave oath of allegiance to him or he was nominated
Mu'awiya forced people to give bayya to Yazeed
Deobandi scholar Rasheed Akhtar Nadwi in "Tahzeeb au Tamadhun e Islami" comments on page 1:
"Mu'awiya forced people to give bayya to Yazeed".
Sayyid Muhammad Rashid Raza the Syrian scholar echoes similar words in his book "Imamate al Uzma" page 99:
Mu'awiya introduced the bad practice of giving bayya to Yazeed by force".
Professor Saeed Akbar Allahbadi in his book "Musalman ka 'Uruj-o-Zawal" (Urdu) page 53 likewise states:
"Mu'awiya attained power by force and secured it for Yazeed in the same manner. People who did not agree were forced to give it".
