Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. Salam (Peace) ----------

The biggest loss to mainstream/Sunni Islam was losing the Persians to Shia Islam. It saddens me when I think about it! They did so much for Islam. The Islamic Golden age of Knowledge was because of the Persians. I'll even go as far as to say that once the Persians became Muslim, they served Islam more than the Arabs. They are a higher form of civilisation. They are really clever. Even today, look at the way Iran operates in the region. Very cunning! Very resilient! This is the Persian soul that they inherited from their ancestors.

Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. Salam (Peace) ----------

In the modern era, your discussion is limited to the country Iran-proper. But there are other present-day nations that are also equally the successors of medieval Iran, e.g. the fellow-Persian Tajikstan.

Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. Salam (Peace) ----------

You're unable to seize your own destiny and instead rely on outdated "tradition" to gain a sense of self. Look at the world around you! Everywhere people are seizing the opportunities and through strength and wisdom are creating a new world that they have the vision to see. You are completely lost behind the cart and instead of being part of this you are a pawn of the wealthy elite who stubbornly try to prevent this world from being born.

Many Arabic, Turkish and Indian royals spoke Persian exclusively because it was considered a royal language. By the way, while Farsi does have some arabic words, Dari (Afghan dialect) is almost completely pure Persian. And Farsi and Dari speakers can communicate with ease, so arabic didn’t really change much. Finally, arabs were nomads when Persians built empires. Didn’t you look at the video?

They also lost a lot more wars then people realise. When Parthia fell to the Sassanids, Rome had created a monster in its own image. This quote I heard a while ago describes them perfectly

[@islamisthetruewaytogod6812]

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.

What a journey through time! This ancient history documentary was epic!

[@nationalistpersia5279]

Great Job this helps people know more about our great history before and after the rise of Islam and mongols, but missed the part where Reza shah was father of the last shah. All in all, Iran has been in the cross hairs of all peoples and empires but still the first and greatest civilization on earth.

[@SxVaNm345]

Egypt will like to call you... but yes, Iran has a very honourable & beautiful history.

Nationalist Persia what the fuck are you talking about ? Persia is the 6th oldest civilization but you are no where near the oldest the oldest civilization bar none was Mesopotamia Aka Iraq that civilization is 8000 years old after that comes China and Egypt , Persia came in Sixth not 1st get your facts straight

[@Gozzimo54321]

LiFE 707 Yes but not at this functionality and capacity. The empire was huge with lots of different cultures and it was one of the very few civilizations that was not built on slave economy (at this time). For example the fellow greeks at the time were built on slave economy.

[@Gutians]

LiFE 707 actually Persia/Iran is the oldest CONTINUES major civiliization in the world.

Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job.

[@0249er]

great video however I think the Qara qoyunlu and Ak qoyunlu would have been important enough to mention or the Hotaki rebellion and how Nadir shah came to power was a real game of thrones kinda thing but I guess there wasn't enough time on the Video

I dont think so but now im intrigued what argument could be had about Hatra :0

Both of them turkic

[@nikzad2167]

thank you for this video brother, i really enjoyed it. totally historical, and no political

[@KingExituS]

Thanks for the detailed and informative video; Mossadegh is definitely my favorite Iranian hero, he was the face of Iranian nationalism and the only hope for Iran to become a democratic country

[@KingExituS]

Di Vepets Not really, Communists would do anything to push the agenda of their own political party while Mossadegh served Iran, followed the national interests, that's the true definition of a Nationalist! He might have been slightly left oriented, but he was the head of the National front of Iran. Many believe ''Mossadegh bein a Communist'' was a rumour spred by the British to make the Islamists stop suporting him what actually finally led to his downfall.

[@0249er]

Firstly if you truly believe communism is the best way for the people of your country and he certainly had left leaning ideas like workers rights, healthcare for all and nationalisation of resources that could best serve the nations in government hands rather then privet free economy company's. Then I think you are a nationalist, he put himself at risk to improve the lives of people in the country.

[@0249er]

Also what about sattar Khan? His leadership of the Azeris khans tufangchis lead to Asias first ever parliament

[@KingExituS]

0249er There is no doubt that Sattar Khan's effort for bringing in Constitutionalism in Iran were of high value, however his rebellion has only political aspects. Mossadegh also played a major role in improvement of Iran's economy by his efforts in nationalization of Iranian oil industry. He managed to make Iran a constitutional monarchy, even if only for a short period of time, his state was the closest thing Iran ever had, to a modern democratic country.

[@ejaaz7260]

Only thing that stopped the different empires of Asia minor from expanding into the India were the Himalayas. But still there were many passes through the mountains, and it's because of these that Persian influence can be seen in India today. We even have "Shah" as a common surname.

[@hemantrana301]

Mestopodian civilization bricked is taken from indus valley civilization . Zorastian religion have similarities with hinduism . Even 98% iranian have north indian pak dna genes.

[@hemantrana301]

Mughal follow persian as official language

[@D__Ujjwal]

Shah is common only among muslims. There is Persian influence in India is only because of muslim empires who were Mongols and turkic but spoke persian

[@saeedzare2410]

As Iranian, i would like to say it has precious information as well as other data

[@TheSamuraijim87]

Fantastic video Epimethus. I really enjoyed your breakdown of the background of old persia. The detail you went to here was wonderful to see. Some corrections I would offer is that the Ghaznavids did continue to rule their Eastern territories, even after the Seljuks took over, and these later gave way to the Ghurid and then Indian Mamluk Sultanates. I'd also say that the administration of Seljuk Iran, while there was a certain degree of "Steppe Appanage" governance imposed, did remain fundamentally Persian, like before, since we have the names of great Persian bureaucrats like Nizam al Mulk and others, who remained the governing body of Iran, and became the governing class of Seljuk Anatolia.

[@lordhosseinlh]

You make the last shah sound really bad!! Much is left out and negative. At the beginning of his rule, he was weak but after 1953 on wards, he became more in hand in the decisions and progress of the nation. Its even fair to say that the cities built under him have largely remained unchanged and his progress in modernisation one of the greatest Iran had seen.

[@ahappyimago]

H. A. R. D yes he really did a bad job covering the Shahs but good job on the video still.

[@007VitaminD]

Technically EVERYONE was progressing and developing their nation. Not the religious nor the seculars liked the dictator Shah.

[@lordhosseinlh]

@@007VitaminD Yes trying but failed at it like the king of Egypt I would say. The shah was much more competent as a king.

[@007VitaminD]

@@lordhosseinlh Not really, even Atta Turk developed the land around the same time era. Those days were known for development across the world due to industrialization, these leaders just happened to be there during that time. Anyone else would have done the same.

[@lordhosseinlh]

@@007VitaminD but their achievements are being undermined. The qajar were kings as well but they did almost nothing. Reza shah did more things even though he was an uneducated addict compared to those educated one.
