A Loneliest Commander – Episode 16 | The Question of the Peace Agreement
In Episode 15, suspicion and political tension deepened in Kufa. Public speeches and hidden intrigues had already shaken trust among the people. Now the discussion turned directly toward the peace agreement itself.
Historical narrations mention that Muawiya openly declared he would not consider himself bound by the conditions of the agreement made with Imam Hassan (a.s.). His statements suggested that political authority was above written commitments.
In contrast, Imam Hassan (a.s.) maintained a firm and principled stance. He clearly stated that he would never violate the terms of the agreement. For him, honoring a covenant was not merely a political matter but a moral and religious obligation.
Imam Hassan possessed solid evidence and witnesses regarding the agreed conditions. His position demonstrated that leadership, in his view, was rooted in integrity and accountability.
Episode 16 highlights the sharp contrast between political expediency and ethical commitment. While one side treated the treaty as flexible, the other upheld it as a binding trust before God and the community.
