2. MuꜤāwiya was fanāˈ fī al-Rasūl

The second thing we learn is that  MuꜤāwiya رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ attained the station of being fanāˈ fī al-Rasūl; this is when one is completely engrossed in love of the Messenger صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

It visibly appears that MuꜤāwiya رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ made Syria his kingdom, whilst he sat atop the throne as king. Yet, Allah said: وَ مُلْکُہٗ بِالشَّام. This means the kingdom in Syria belonged to the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم - despite MuꜤāwiya رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ being the one sitting on the throne.

This is like during the Battle of Badr, when the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم threw dirt at the disbelievers, after which Allah said:

وَ مَا رَمَیْتَ اِذْ رَمَیْتَ وَ لٰکِنَّ اللّٰہَ رَمٰی ۚ

and ˹Dear Beloved Prophet,˺ you did not throw dust when you threw, rather it was Allah who threw,^[1]

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه This is a high level of love. MuꜤāwiya رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ established the kingdom, but Allah said it belongs to the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

3. The Quran supporting MuꜤāwiya

The third thing we learn is that Allah praised the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in the Torah, whilst the kingdom of MuꜤāwiya رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ was mentioned.

Allah states in the Quran:

وَ تَکْتُمُوا الْحَقَّ وَ اَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ (۴۲)

and do not conceal the truth knowingly.^[2]
