Background |
| |
Born at the Sadducee Palace-Fort in Tā'if near Mecca to an immediate noble relation of Abu Sufyan. |
| |
It is presumed that his father, possibly a brother of Harb ibn Umayya was one of those killed during the Ethiopian Assassinations in 579 which finally ended the power of the Jewish Sadducee Himyar Royal Family. |
| |
Uthman was a brilliant scholar and soon became a trusted trade official for his cousin Abu Sufyan and wealthy man in his own right. |
| |
When Muhammad the Prophet started preaching in Mecca around, Abu Sufyan and the Umayyad would have seen him initially as a minor irritation. However, Muhammad became influential enough to offend Abu Sufyan and was force to flee with his followers to the Askumites (Ethiopians) - mortal enemies of the Sadducee Jewish Unayyad. |
| |
There is some dispute as to the accuracy of the date of Uthman's mission as a double-agent being as early as 611 and the second convert. It is much more probable that his mission began as late as 622 when Muhammad had amassed a significant following and now capable of attacking the Umayyad. |
| |
Uthman had certainly "converted" to Islam by 625 when he participated in the Battle of Uhud, after which he was trusted enough to be betrothed the second daughter of Muhammad. |
| |
But the first great political act of Uthman was convincing Muhammad to spare the lives of his fellow Jewish Sadducee Royal family upon the capture of Mecca in 630. |
| |
Upon the death of Muhammad, Abu Bakhr was elected as the first Caliph (632- 634) at aged 62. Bakhr had a distinct distrust of Uthman, and may well have considered him treacherous on account of his actions during the previous wars against the Umayyad. |
| |
There is clear historic evidence that Uthman vehemently disagreed with the first and proper version of the Qur'an distributed to key Muslim followers by Caliph Bahkr in Greek and Latin. Bakhr was poisoned by the arrangements of Uthman not long after and died in 634. |
| |
Uthman under the sponsorship of the Umayyad was denied the right of Caliph as Umar was appointed by Aby Bakhr publicly before his death. |
| |
Sensing the danger of the Sadducee Himyar Royal Family, Umar banished the Umayyad Sadducees from his Kingdom as early as 635 and they re-established themselves in Damascus. |
| |
Uthman again found a way to by-pass the guard of a Caliph and in 644 in a well timed coup had Umar assassinated. Four days later, he successfully had himself elected as Caliph. |
| |
One of the first edicts of the new Caliph was to order all the original scriptures of the Qur'an distributed by Abu Bakhr as heretical and to be destroyed. In its place he sent not only a brand new Qur'an- the 2nd and false Qur'an, but he ordered that it could only be written in Arabic and recited by an authorised preacher. |
| |
The actions of Uthman ushered in a Civil War across the fledgling Islamic empire, which ended with Uthman being killed and replaced by Ali. |
