Ibn Khaldun Quotes

When Trouble Arose Between 'All And Mu'awiyah As A Necessary Consequence Of Group Feeling, They Were Guided In (their Dissensions) By The Truth And By Independent Judgment. They Did Not Fight For Any Worldly Purpose Or Over Preferences Of No Value, Or For Reasons Of Personal Enmity. This Might Be Suspected, And Heretics Might Like To Think So. However, What Caused Their Difference Was Their Independent Judgment As To Where The Truth Lay. It Was On This Matter That Each Side Opposed The Point Of View Of The Other. It Was For This That They Fought. Even Though 'Ali Was In The Right, Mu'awiyah's Intentions Were Not Bad Ones. He Wanted The Truth, But He Missed (it). Each Was Right In So Far As His Intentions Were Concerned.
