The term “tide turned” is incorrect and baseless. Even after the siege of Constantinople the Arabs continued ruling parts of the once Byzantine Anatolia (such as Cilicia). Thus the Arabs were still ruling parts of Anatolia even after the siege and throughout Mu’awiyah’s rule lol Loverofediting (talk) 19:50, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
Under Emperor Constantine IV (r. 668–685), the Byzantines began a counteroffensive against the Caliphate, first raiding Egypt in 672 or 673, while in winter 673, Mu'awiya's admiral Abd Allah ibn Qays led a large fleet that raided Smyrna and the coasts of Cilicia and Lycia. The Byzantines landed a major victory against an Arab army and fleet led by Sufyan ibn Awf, possibly at Sillyon, in 673 or 674. The next year, Abd Allah ibn Qays and Fadala landed in Crete and in 675 or 676, a Byzantine fleet assaulted Maraqiya, killing the governor of Homs. In 677, 678 or 679 Mu'awiya sued for peace with Constantine IV, possibly as a result of the destruction of his fleet or the Byzantines' deployment of the Mardaites in the Syrian littoral during that time. A thirty-year treaty was concluded, obliging the Caliphate to pay an annual tribute of 3,000 gold coins, 50 horses and 30 slaves, and withdraw their troops from the forward bases they had occupied on the Byzantine coast.
It is wrote this line: Mu'awiya and his father Abu Sufyan had opposed Muhammad. This is wrong Muawiah was a Khalifa and in the khilafat when simeone maker a decision and that turns out a wrong one then this mistake is called an ijtihadi mistake it doesn't mean that they opposed the Prophet. So please delete this line. And If you say that you are right then give a solid evidence Thanx Owais.Madani95 (talk) 06:49, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
Please add the reign template infront of Ali, since there is reign templates infront of the first three caliphs Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman, so why not have a reign template on the fourth caliph 119.73.112.164 (talk) 23:26, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
