CHARACTER
Abdul Malik was a just, mild and wise ruler, although he
killed ’Amr ibn Said treacherously and was partly responsible for the
cruelty and injustice perpetrated by his lieutenant Hajjaj b. Yusuf.
Himself a poet, he rewarded liberally the poets and litterateurs like
Jarir, Farazdaq, Kuthayir Azza and al-Akhtal a Christian poet of the
Taghlib tribe. He was a genious and met successfully the critical
situation. The life of Abdul Malik was astromy one. While of tender
age he witnessed the agitation leading to the murder of Hazrat
Usman (Rad.A) and was deeply impressed by it and came to proper
reconciliation to retaliation.
He always tried to reconcile his rebels and Muhallab, who helped him in establishing peace and extending his empire, he appreciated the services of Hajjaj even on his death bed saying, ”It is he who had made our name to be recited in every pulpit throughout the Homeland of Islam, and subdued our enemies under us” and ordered his sons, four of whom succeeded him one after the other, to respect this teacher-soldier. He secured the provinces by appointing his relations as governors everywhere with the exception of’Iraq. In the first part of his reign, he was busy in crushing rebels and maintaining peace and in the second part he expanded his territories and introduced reforms in administration and Arabicized the coinage and register. As has been stated before he erected the Dome of Rock in Jerusalem as the third holiest sanctuary in Islam.8
