War of the Worlds - EP 1 - Intro / Early Islamic Conquest

With the birth of The Prophet Muhammad and the Rise of Islam, the early Islamic Conquest begins. In a matter of 100 years the nascent Muslim state grows from the city state of Medina to encompass Mecca and a majority of the Middle East. Soon the young nation takes on the superpowers of its day - the Byzantine and the Persians. The stage is set for one of the greatest conquests in history.

[@raedalghamdi3976]

great video!! as a muslim from the heart of islam (saudi arabia) i would like to say there are a couple of honest mistakes (probably english sources) but the one i want to point out is when omar basically benched khalid. it wasn't because he didn't like him or because of rivalry, in fact Omar appreciated him so much he was afraid that the people would start thinking the wars are being won because of khalid not because of allah. if you think about it the same thing happened when the prophet died, the people thought islam died with him so they revolted and omar was avoiding a similar situation. in summary, it was actually a good and smart move. again, great video! can't wait to watch ep 2

[@FlashPointHx]

I’m glad you like the series thus far! Yes it’s been challenging to do the research for this - and it only becomes even more so as the sources become more biased with time. When you get to the first and then the second fitna it becomes very difficult to know precisely what went down. Either way, thank you for the kind words - I look forward to hearing what you think of the rest of the series.

[@raedalghamdi3976]

I faced the same problem with the biased sources, i found it hard to follow my favourite commander khalid bin al-waleed. the bias in sources is heavily shown in your second episode because a handful of the information in it contradicts the common consensus in most of the middle east. i'm not trying to undermine your work, you obvioulsy worked very hard but it is a very difficult and complicated subject especially since most sources would be in arabic. i appreciate the effort you are doing and in support of it i would like to offer you my services free of charge. even if it was for a word pronouncation.

[@FlashPointHx]

Thank you again - I’m actually really pleasantly surprised on how many people who speak Arabic, or have good insight into the history of this period (like yourself) have been so supportive of this project. I’m about to begin episode 4 about Abd Al-Rahman I’s flight from Syria and the fall of the Umayyad with the rise of the Abbasid. This period is really convoluted. If you could give me your thoughts on why this change in government happened I’d be very appreciative. My email is [e-mail]. All the best!

[@raedalghamdi3976]

i will return to a couple of arabic sources to make sure of what i say then get back to you. expect an email soon.

One of the best narration, voice and literacy. Need to mention at 17:10 , Muhammed s.a.v.s. and his friends did not raiding the caravans. Trading was rare as there was no enough goods for regular trades. Wheat does not grow in the desert and one caravan needs minimum 60 days to go and return back, also this is why it is impossible to raid the "caravans". The people of Mecca seized the belongings of the refugees and those who did hijra. When Muhammed a.s. has gone from the Mecca he left behind his nephew Ali r.a. to return all wealth which was guarded by the trusted Muhammed s.a.v.s to the people of Mecca. Which he done and then he left Mecca empty handed. They did not do the same to those which was fly to Medina. Peaceful negotiations between 2 sideds did not pass well. That is why people of Mecca sent so many soldiers to protect the one and only one large caravan with stolen and captured property of those who are committed the hijra. But, instead of capturing their wealth back, it will result as first battle in the history of Islam, battle of Badr. All wealth was lost as the caravan managed to pass Muhammed s.a.v.s. and his followers unnoticed in both directions. Allah the Greatest knows the best.

THANK YOU for visiting Mexico. You have so far amazed me with a history of Spain that is not normally taught in Mexico. Looking forward to the Isabella episode. Outstanding job! Hope to see more battle plans and formations. Kudos, hombre! Just one inaccuracy: Muhammad didn't just "vanish" the 3 Jewish tribes of Medina, he expellled the Banu Nadir, supposedly after a plot to assassinate him that the angel Gabriel "discovered", the Banu Qainuqa were threatened with conversion or death and let go with only the shirts on their backs due to the pleading of Ibn Abd-Allah Ubayy , and latter, the Banu Qurayza were "vanished" by way of decapitation of all the males (600 to 900 men and one woman) and the enslavement and selling of the survivors. The event is well attested to in the Islamic historical tradition, and has served as the basis for multiple rulings throughout history dealing with the treatment of captured non-Muslims by Muslim military forces.

the reason why Khalid was called back from the battlefield was that he won too many battles and people started to revere him, and the Caliph worry that the people might turn to blasphemy by doing idolatry, as they were before they convert to Islam. and thus, he was recalled. Then the Caliph sent his replacement, but Khalid still commanded the various battle in the shadow. Effectively killing 2 birds with one stone, maintaining public order and winning battles.

Arians were an early branch of christianity that was a persecuted minority under Heraclius. Mohammed is basically saying that rejecting the salvation of Islam means that Heraclius will not be forgiven for his sin of persecuting the Arians on the day of judgement. It's unknown why Mohammed highlighted the Arians like this but he possibly believed that their beliefs were closer to Islam since both Arians and Muslims reject the Nicean trinity.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas: Abu Sufyan bin Harb informed me that Heraclius had sent a messenger to him while he had been accompanying a caravan from Quraish. They were merchants doing business in Sham (Syria, Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan), at the time when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had truce with Abu Sufyan and Quraish infidels. So Abu Sufyan and his companions went to Heraclius at Ilya (Jerusalem). Heraclius called them in the court and he had all the senior Roman dignitaries around him. He called for his translator who, translating Heraclius's question said to them, "Who amongst you is closely related to that man who claims to be a Prophet?" Abu Sufyan replied, "I am the nearest relative to him (amongst the group)." Heraclius said, "Bring him (Abu Sufyan) close to me and make his companions stand behind him." Abu Sufyan added, Heraclius told his translator to tell my companions that he wanted to put some questions to me regarding that man (The Prophet) and that if I told a lie they (my companions) should contradict me." Abu Sufyan added, "By Allah! Had I not been afraid of my companions labeling me a liar, I would not have spoken the truth about the Prophet. The first question he asked me about him was: 'What is his family status amongst you?' I replied, 'He belongs to a good (noble) family amongst us.' Heraclius further asked, 'Has anybody amongst you ever claimed the same (i.e. to be a Prophet) before him?' I replied, 'No.' He said, 'Was anybody amongst his ancestors a king?' I replied, 'No.' Heraclius asked, 'Do the nobles or the poor follow him?' I replied, 'It is the poor who follow him.' He said, 'Are his followers increasing decreasing (day by day)?' I replied, 'They are increasing.' He then asked, 'Does anybody amongst those who embrace his religion become displeased and renounce the religion afterwards?' I replied, 'No.' Heraclius said, 'Have you ever accused him of telling lies before his claim (to be a Prophet)?' I replied, 'No. ' Heraclius said, 'Does he break his promises?' I replied, 'No. We are at truce with him but we do not know what he will do in it.' I could not find opportunity to say anything against him except that. Heraclius asked, 'Have you ever had a war with him?' I replied, 'Yes.' Then he said, 'What was the outcome of the battles?' I replied, 'Sometimes he was victorious and sometimes we.' Heraclius said, 'What does he order you to do?' I said, 'He tells us to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to worship anything along with Him, and to renounce all that our ancestors had said. He orders us to pray, to speak the truth, to be chaste and to keep good relations with our Kith and kin.' Heraclius asked the translator to convey to me the following, I asked you about his family and your reply was that he belonged to a very noble family. In fact all the Apostles come from noble families amongst their respective peoples. I questioned you whether anybody else amongst you claimed such a thing, your reply was in the negative. If the answer had been in the affirmative, I would have thought that this man was following the previous man's statement. Then I asked you whether anyone of his ancestors was a king. Your reply was in the negative, and if it had been in the affirmative, I would have thought that this man wanted to take back his ancestral kingdom. I further asked whether he was ever accused of telling lies before he said what he said, and your reply was in the negative. So I wondered how a person who does not tell a lie about others could ever tell a lie about Allah. I, then asked you whether the rich people followed him or the poor. You replied that it was the poor who followed him. And in fact all the Apostle have been followed by this very class of people. Then I asked you whether his followers were increasing or decreasing. You replied that they were increasing, and in fact this is the way of true faith, till it is complete in all respects. I further asked you whether there was anybody, who, after embracing his religion, became displeased and discarded his religion. Your reply was in the negative, and in fact this is (the sign of) true faith, when its delight enters the hearts and mixes with them completely. I asked you whether he had ever betrayed. You replied in the negative and likewise the Apostles never betray. Then I asked you what he ordered you to do. You replied that he ordered you to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to worship any thing along with Him and forbade you to worship idols and ordered you to pray, to speak the truth and to be chaste. If what you have said is true, he will very soon occupy this place underneath my feet and I knew it (from the scriptures) that he was going to appear but I did not know that he would be from you, and if I could reach him definitely, I would go immediately to meet him and if I were with him, I would certainly wash his feet.' Heraclius then asked for the letter addressed by Allah's Apostle which was delivered by Dihya to the Governor of Busra, who forwarded it to Heraclius to read. The contents of the letter were as follows: "In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful (This letter is) from Muhammad the slave of Allah and His Apostle to Heraclius the ruler of Byzantine. Peace be upon him, who follows the right path. Furthermore I invite you to Islam, and if you become a Muslim you will be safe, and Allah will double your reward, and if you reject this invitation of Islam you will be committing a sin by misguiding your Arisiyin (peasants). (And I recite to you Allah's Statement:) 'O people of the scripture! Come to a word common to you and us that we worship none but Allah and that we associate nothing in worship with Him, and that none of us shall take others as Lords beside Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims (those who have surrendered to Allah).' (3:64). Abu Sufyan then added, "When Heraclius had finished his speech and had read the letter, there was a great hue and cry in the Royal Court. So we were turned out of the court. I told my companions that the question of Ibn-Abi-Kabsha) (the Prophet (ﷺ) Muhammad) has become so prominent that even the King of Bani Al-Asfar (Byzantine) is afraid of him. Then I started to become sure that he (the Prophet) would be the conqueror in the near future till I embraced Islam (i.e. Allah guided me to it)." The sub narrator adds, "Ibn An-Natur was the Governor of llya' (Jerusalem) and Heraclius was the head of the Christians of Sham. Ibn An-Natur narrates that once while Heraclius was visiting ilya' (Jerusalem), he got up in the morning with a sad mood. Some of his priests asked him why he was in that mood? Heraclius was a foreteller and an astrologer. He replied, 'At night when I looked at the stars, I saw that the leader of those who practice circumcision had appeared (become the conqueror). Who are they who practice circumcision?' The people replied, 'Except the Jews nobody practices circumcision, so you should not be afraid of them (Jews). 'Just Issue orders to kill every Jew present in the country.' While they were discussing it, a messenger sent by the king of Ghassan to convey the news of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to Heraclius was brought in. Having heard the news, he (Heraclius) ordered the people to go and see whether the messenger of Ghassan was circumcised. The people, after seeing him, told Heraclius that he was circumcised. Heraclius then asked him about the Arabs. The messenger replied, 'Arabs also practice circumcision.' (After hearing that) Heraclius remarked that sovereignty of the 'Arabs had appeared. Heraclius then wrote a letter to his friend in Rome who was as good as Heraclius in knowledge. Heraclius then left for Homs. (a town in Syrian and stayed there till he received the reply of his letter from his friend who agreed with him in his opinion about the emergence of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the fact that he was a Prophet. On that Heraclius invited all the heads of the Byzantines to assemble in his palace at Homs. When they assembled, he ordered that all the doors of his palace be closed. Then he came out and said, 'O Byzantines! If success is your desire and if you seek right guidance and want your empire to remain then give a pledge of allegiance to this Prophet (i.e. embrace Islam).' (On hearing the views of Heraclius) the people ran towards the gates of the palace like onagers but found the doors closed. Heraclius realized their hatred towards Islam and when he lost the hope of their embracing Islam, he ordered that they should be brought back in audience. (When they returned) he said, 'What already said was just to test the strength of your conviction and I have seen it.' The people prostrated before him and became pleased with him, and this was the end of Heraclius's story (in connection with his faith).

Anyway, yes I'm living in Sagunto for 1 month 👍 right now as a expat American digital nomad. I'm more near the sea by the port.

I kinda binge watching all this since I'm stuck at home sick at the moment, and I'm subscribed to a lot of history channel, which usually are quite sizeable channels. I'm quite impressed that you manage to create such professionalism despite the small amounts of video/podcasts, do you have a history degree of some sort ? (I would triple like the video if I could!)

[@FlashPointHx]

Wow - your last comment was on episode II and you made it all the way here! That’s impressive - you listened to me go one for like 7 hours! I love history as well, a friend of mine introduced me to podcasts and I figured it would be a great platform to produce decent content. While I have a minor in history, my career lies in a completely different field. However, growing up my fathers job required travel and so we lived in Cairo, Madrid, Vienna, London etc along with a half dozen cities in the US. This, history was always accessible. Again, I really am glad you like the content. If you want to help just share on social media or with someone who is into history as well. All the best!

Well i'm quite severely sick,more or less permanently by now. I also followed my father around the world when I was young.

Excellent work! This video has really comprehensive and did a really good job at showing how the early muslim conquests started. As a muslim myself and someone who's done some reading about this part of history I can appreciate how difficult it must have been to compile all this information. Can I ask what sources you used?

[@FlashPointHx]

Thank you for your kind words! It was a difficult but very personally enriching project. I used Hugh Kennedy ‘The Great Arab Conquest’ and ‘Caliphate’; Albert Hourani ‘A History of the Arab People’; David Nicolle ‘The Great Islamic Conquests’; I also watched some documentaries on BBC and some KZbin videos. As I can’t read Arabic I wasn’t able to use other sources. Again, I’m happy you liked my series!

Assalamu'alikoum {peace be upon you}, I have to admit that your work is outstanding and a masterpiece. I would like to point out that the battles which took place in Abu Baker's reign were not about Sunna or Shia but rather the caliph was fighting those who refused Islam once the prophet died. these battles were named Horb Al-ridda {wars on Apostasy}. the wars between Shia and Sunni occurred during Ali Ibn Abi Taleb's rule {the 4th Caliph}.

[@Adam-xd8df]

He was believer in one God he followed Ibrahim the prophet then became Muslim when Allah sent his messenger and prophet Mohammed

[@notme716]

Like many have said, well researched despite a few errors of concern. The Wahi or revelation was not written in the early days, Muhammed ﷺ was unlettered, and the Arabs were overwhelmingly an oral tradition. The Quran and sunnah were preserved in speech until they began to be officially collated. The collation of Quran and Sunnah are a science and history of their own. We also have a fairly comprehensive view of the Prophet ﷺ early life, for example his early days raised with Haleema May Allah be pleased with her amongst the Banu Saad. This actually contributed to his eloquence as the people there spoke a purer form of Arab rather than the dilution of bigger cities. Finally a note that is not a correction but rather an addition, it’s interesting to note that Islams omission of distinction between races as superior aided the Muslims greatly. This can be seen seeking refuge by the delegation to Abyssinia or the fact that AFAIK, the trench was an idea from Salman Al Farisi, who came from Faris (Persia) and was the son of an affluent Zoroastrian. Now on to finish the video I had to get those off my chest.
