The Historical Roots of IS

Part 1

Historical roots of ISIS

AAYESHA was the wife of Prophet Muhammad and was one of the two opposes of Ali. The mecca residing AAYESHA decided to have a war with the caliph. Fully prepared for war, she told the people of mecca, "People of the Islamic republic I am going to avenge the death of the caliph Osman it's also your responsibility to avenge the death of the caliph. To respect the people or the followers of Islam is your prime duty. The respect of Islam is hanging on the fine thread of this war. And to avenge the death of the earlier caliph this solution is the only solution.'' It is said that she threw the Burqa (traditional dress worn by the Muslim Women) on the floor and took the initiative of the battle. By the sacred sound of 'Padhgham' the war was off to a start. "By the name of the holy Allah AAYESHA (also known as 'the mother of dead') is set on a track to do jihad. The one who has that spirit and respects Islam, they can come with me for the defence of our religion & to avenge the death for the caliph OSMAN please join the army of holy Allah. You are offending the religion if you are doing injustice or are a victim of injustice. To win please rise my Muslim fellows by the name of Allah we will uproot this monster named ALI."

After this announcement over 3000 people started from Mecca to do Jihad, (it is said that) many people started crying when this army started from mecca 'cause the fight was against their own Muslim brothers. That is why this day is known as 'The mourning day' or 'the black day' in the Islamic history.

Chapter no. 4

The camel fight

The first war between AAYESHA and ALI was fought at the city named BASRA in Iraq. Date: 17-10-656. Within no time Basra came under the dominance of AAYESHA. After that the residents of BASRA were killed brutally. Also the people involved in the attack or murder of Osman were killed. In this context famous Arab historian said "Thousands of people were killed in this fight, but most of them were innocent yet they were killed cause AAYESHA wanted to give a message which will reach ALI and frighten him." In this Battle of BASRA over 600+ people were given death sentence. From this time 'the open execution system' got an uplift in the society and from that time Damascus, Baghdad, Riyadh came up with these 'chop-chop' squares where open and public executions took place and also take place now.

Meanwhile in this time period ALI got tensed he became stressed and tried to attempt suicide, but his military advisor stopped him, consulted him. He showed him his responsibility his role towards the Khilafat. This motivated ALI and got a violent blend in his mind which may prove harmful for his kingdom in future but at that time, that feeling was the apt one. In this period ALI gathered an army over 20 to 30 thousand to fight. AAYESHA also got public response and she got her total army over 30 thousand. But the army of ALI was more specialised in war tactics. A fierce battle ensued between both the armies. One Muslim started to slaughter many Muslims. The ratio in this fight is supposed to be ALI's army to AAYESH's army – 1:6. The armies started to perform extensive JIHAD. An Islamic war scientist describes the situation like "It is said that in the season of before autumn trees start to shed their leaves, the amount of leaves shed was equivalent to the dead bodies generated each day!" ALI got an idea that the war was not going to end hence he ordered that spray a bunch of arrows on AAYESHA's camp. But still AAYESHA remained safe. Desperate and frustrated ALI came down to his last plan and decided to finish the war by giving the last yet a strong blow ALI ordered to break the legs of the camel on which AAYESHA was sitting. For the protection of that camel over 70 people died still and the war was going on so ALI decided to end the war himself! ALI himself broke the legs of the camel. The camel fell, AAYESHA also fell down and ALI slaughtered AAYESHA on her head and hanged her on the centre of the battlefield. ALI won the war. As AAYESHA was leading the war it was called as The CAMEL FIGHT. This war lasted for only one day yet over 15 to 20 thousand soldiers died. AAYESHA's army was killed more in numbers compared to ALI's soldiers. This battle is famous as the famous inter Muslim battle. This battle took place 24 years after the death of Prophet Muhammad. In this battle it was brother vs. brother, sister vs. brother where both the parties performed extensive jihad.
