Al Mansur, the Founder of Baghdad | 754CE - 775CE | Abbasid Caliphate #02

I always say that perhaps more than any other, three people defined the Islamic Civilization the most, after Prophet Muhammad, of course. The first is Umar ibn al-Khattab, whose decisions both as Abu Bakr’s advisor and as the second caliph, protected Islam in its infancy by defeating the Eastern Roman and Sassanid Empires. Then comes Abd al-Malik, the man who restored the Umayyad caliphate after the Second Civil War. He defined what Hugh Kennedy calls, the Executive Caliphate. Then comes the man this video is about, the second caliph of the Abbasid Dynasty, Caliph Abu Ja'far al-Mansur.

@@lemine235 Brother. I appreciate your reply. However, we must note that despite setting up various dynasties, the Ahlebayt were persecuted. For example, like you said, Moroccan dynasty. If you know, Hz. Moulay idris was poisoned by Harun Al Rashid...His Brother Muhammad was killed in a revolt in Medina...As soon as the Umayyads and Abbasids disappeared, the descendants of the Holy Prophet were safer....This proves that they were persecuted by Abbasids...The Alaouites saadat of Morocco and the Hashemi Sharif family came much after the Umayyads and Abbasids died out...Hence it was easy for them to establish dynasties.

[@sussudio4384]

Almanzor, the most controversial and fascinating man in the history of Al-Andalus, Unfortunately, he made 4 mistakes: - He broke the ethnic harmony of Al-Andalus by importing many Berber tribes from North Africa, - He demilitarized the population in favor of a professional army composed of Berber (but also Christian) mercenaries with no ties to al-Andalus, - His repeated expeditions to the North without definitive conquest of the territories (unthinkable at the time of the first conquerors) and the multiple humiliations (sacking of St-Jacques de Compostelle) had as a consequence to give birth to a generation of Christians more warlike and hardened by the trials, - The usurpation of power is without doubt the most serious act, In spite of everything, it allowed Al-Andalus to hold on after the death of Al-Hakam II from 976 to 1002 but I still can't understand why with the means available to the Caliphate it did not carry out the conquest of the Christian kingdoms as it did at the time of Tariq ibn Ziyad and Musa ibn Nusayr. What is the point of going to do Jihad in Christian lands to humiliate the people of the North? We might as well conquer them once and for all or do as Abd ar-Rahman III/Al-Hakam II did and make them vassals of the Caliphate. The rise and fall of Al-Andalus is a warning to Muslims who : - Divide themselves for the sake of worldly goods, - Kill each other among believers, - Take non-Muslims as their allies, 5: 51 - O believers! Do not take the Jews and Christians as your allies; they are allies of each other. And whoever of you takes them for allies, becomes one of them. And God does not guide the unjust people.

What happened with "Banu Talib", was that Al-Mansur was on a pilgrimage to Meccah and when he arrived All Hashim welcomed him except for the descendants of Banu Talib who were also in multiple marriage relationships with the descendants of Omar and Uthamn. He wanted so bad to know what they were up to without alerting them that he basically changed the ruler of Meccah at least twice because they failed to bring him satisfactory news. In the end, he captured their men and forced the rest to move close to him in Iraq/Wasit so he can monitor them, except for 2 (Muhammad ibn Abdullah and Ibrahim ibn Abdullah) who escaped and hid until their eventual return. - Source (Al-Dawla Al-Abbassiya by Muhammed Khudri Bek).

I have a question about your pronunciation of caliph, is that related to how it would be pronounced in your native language? In Arabic, if I’m not mistaken, it would be /xali:f(a)/, with the fricative instead of a stop and a long i in the middle. If that’s just how you pronounce the English rendition of it, that certainly makes sense, but it’s a bit different so I’m curious if there’s a connection to its proper pronunciation in a third language.
