Meaning of Muawiyah
Muawiyah is an Arabic word for boys that literally means “one who howls”, from the root AIN-W-A (“to howl”), and it refers to female dogs and the cubs of foxes, lions, and other animals. Muawiyah was the name of the founder of the Omayyad empire, the Sahabi Muawiyah bin Abu Sufyan. It is not a Quranic name but Muslims can use since it existed during the time of the Prophet ﷺ and he didn’t ask the name to be changed (like he changed those names that he found unacceptable).

our beloved prophet pbuh says:
Whoever abuses my Companions, upon them is the curse of Allah, the angels and all the people” [Saheeh, At-Tabaranee]

*لفظ ‘معاویہ’ کا معنی*
“معاویہ رات کے آخری پہر میں آسمان پر چمکنے والے ستارے کا نام ھے کہ جس کے طلوع ھونے پر کتے بھونکنا شروع کر دیتے ھیں”<دیکھئےلسان العرب جلد ١٥ صحفہ ١٠٧سے ١١٢<

The historical person who have following qualities-:
1.He along with his father “abu sufiyan” converted into islam after victory on mecca by rasool (pbuh) under the sword to save their lives.
2.His mother “hinda” chewed the heart of Hazrat Hamza bin abdul muttalib in battle of uhud.
3.His son killed nephew of rasool (pbuh) i.e imam husain a.s
4.He murdered Imam Hasan a.s, nephew of rasool (pbuh).
5.He battled hazrat ali (as) during his khilafat known as battle of siffin.
6.He took the quran on swords when he was just about to be killed by malike ashtar in battle of siffin.
Now with these qualities you can decide easily that will Allah will be raazi from him or not. I think he will not.

Muawiya the cursed reality was that his cursed father spent his life torturing the Holy Prophet and his cursed mother Hinda ate the Holy Prophet pbuh uncle Hazrat Hamzas liver He himself fought and cursed “nafs e rasool” Hazrat Ali and killed the Prophets grandson “master of Heaven “ Imam Hassan and many other Sahabis of the Prophet and his cursed son Yazīd butchered the Prophets grandson imam Hussain Masters of Heaven and his family. History went into the hands of this cursed family so lies were made up to try and elevate his status that he wrote the Holy Quran which is a LIE study his life it’s full of courruption and Allah’s curse is on him and his entire family. The truth shall prevail always. As his name aptly suggests he was a bitch a she DoG and howeled like a she DoG the meaning of his name perfectly suits his character

Since Muawiya was a Munafiq, who and whose father became Muslim after the Victory of Mecca by the Muslims, I don’t think we should use his name for our kids, also, since his son Yazid only gained the throne due to him, he is directly responsible for Yazid’s killing of the Household of the Prophet s.a.w.w, if still we will support him, we will actually be considered enemy by the Prophet and his family so we should all refrain from using such bad names.

He is the one who broke the sunnat, broke the truce with Imaam Hasan, killed thousand of Muslims in Sifeen , killed Amar e Yasir , Imaam Hassan and appoint Yazid as successor. Curse Imam Ali from Pulpit. If he is raziullah Anhu than Hitler should be go in Jannat.

Any person abuse or criticize sayedna muawiyah he is totally ignorance who doesn’t understand Islam.

This translation is incorrect.
Mu’aawiyah means Strength of the arm.
Ibn al-Manzoor (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
If the word ‘awaa (the root of mu’aawiyah) is used of a man, it means that he has reached his thirties and his arm has become strong and he is able to twist (‘awaa) the arm of another.
Likewise the translation for ‘Uthmaan on this website is incorrect.
The meaning of the name ‘Uthmaan means Wise, intuitive and powerful.
And as for those slandering the Sahaabah, may Allah deal with you harshly as you have dealt with the Sahaabah harshly.

Response:
Even if someone conquer the entire world, but remains the enemy of ALI, will never be accepted as loyal of Ahlebait – and if someone is not loyal to Ahlebait, i think we are sane enough to think who he will be.
While writing this, please remember enemy of Ali is the enemy of Rasool and his enemy is the enemy of Allah.. The judgment ended.
on Monday 28th of February 2022 02:58:31 PM
listen guys, i’ve read most of the comments above. i know that ppl who accepted islam close to & after conquest of Makkah are not of the same level as the ppl who accepted islam at the earlier time BUT i would suggest that you refrain from using bad lingo about this person as you are committing sin as he’s not able to answer you & explain his situation.
even though he was responsible for great many things not suitable for a sahabi but save yourselves by not cursing him & elevating his status. it’s ok to educate ppl about him & his clan but saying bad things about him will lower your deeds & increase his. he’ll be punished for his deeds Insha ALLAH
