Tawwabin Movement, led by Suleyman bin Surad Khuzaee, began in Rabi’ al-Akhar of 64 AH and was defeated in Jamadi al-Awwal of the same year. Had the time of the uprising been chosen properly? The possible times for the uprising included the following ones: the first forty days after Yazid bi Mu’awiya’s death; three months after his death; just before Ramadan 64 AH; between 15 and 22 of Ramadan 64 AH; just before Shawwal 64 AH; before Dhil-Qa’da 3 of 64 AH; and before Muharram of 65 AH. The present article is seeking to deal with a comparison between the time of the uprising and the possible times before it as proper times and optimal conditions.
