    Virtues of Muawiyah (ra)

    First of all I would like to quote verse of Qur`an that MuawiyahRadhiAllahanho and all the other Sahaba are annati as Allah says

    !And what "ause have ye why ye should not s#end in the "ause of Allah$% For

    to Allah belon&s the herita&e of the heavens and the earth' ot equal aon&

    you are those who s#ent (freely) and fou&ht* before the Vi"tory* (with those

    who did so later)' +hose are hi&her in rank than those who s#ent (freely) and

    fou&ht afterwards' ,ut +- A.. /AS A..A/ 0R-MIS12 A 3--2.4 (reward)'

    And Allah is well a"quainted with all that ye do'! 5Quran 6789:;
