Kufa: City of Anarchy or City of Revolution? An Analytical and Critical Study
Abstract
In this article the authors have presented new dimensions of the history of Kufa. Generally it was believed that the people of Kufa deceiver and imposter but the author of this article proved historicallythat there were atleast five types of people living in Kufa. Some of them were deceiver but some of them were loyal to the Islam and the true leaders of Islam. When Imam Hussain was trying to enter Kufa he was not allowed by Ibn Ziad and he went to Karbala. More than fifty percent companions of Imam Hussain were from Kufa. The city of Kufa saw many revolutionary movements after the incident of Karbala and the people loyal to Ahlul Byte were among the supporters of those movements. In different traditions by the holy Prophet ﷺ it is also narrated that when Imam Mehdi will appear the city of Kufa will become his capital and headquarters. It is concluded that attributing Kufa to the deceivers is not true rather this city should be attributed to Imam Ali as he had made this city a capital of Islmic State and in some tradition it has been recognized as haram of amir ul momineen.
