Mu'awiya ibn Abi Sufyan is a crucial figure for the history of Islam and one who has either been ignored because of the lack of information on this period of history, vilified for political reasons by the Shi’ites , or transformed into a completely secular ruler by certain Western orientalist. When Mu'awiya became the caliph in 41/661, he put an end to a period of destructive civil war and initiated the Umayyad dynasty which lasted for roughly 90 years until it was over thrown by the Abbasids. Indeed, it is hard to imagine how the crisis would been resolved without his success in drawing the Muslim community together again.
