🔴 Were All the Children of Abu Sufyan of Jewish Descent?
✍️ By: Mostafa Amiri
1️⃣ Abu al-As and Dhakwan (Abu Amr), the two brothers of Abu Sufyan, were explicitly mentioned as being from Sepphoris and of Roman origin.
2️⃣ If one argues that Umayya, Abu Sufyan’s grandfather, had only one wife, then how is it that among Umayya’s four sons, only Harb (Abu Sufyan’s father) remained unquestioned, while historical records state that Abu al-As and Dhakwan were not of Qurayshi descent?
3️⃣ The reason: There was a deliberate effort to present Uthman and Muawiyah as Qurayshi, because according to both Sunni and Shia hadiths, the Prophet’s successors had to be from Quraysh.
4️⃣ More importantly, Umayya (Muawiyah’s ancestor and Abu Sufyan’s grandfather) was not Arab or Qurayshi at all, but Roman—which renders these debates secondary.
🔹 The idea that Banu Umayyah were not Arabs has been discussed since the 4th century AH among Shi’a scholars. It is not a new topic.
