History of the Umayyad Caliphate - Hugh Kennedy

[@AlMuqaddimahYT]

I have used his quotes in so many videos and this is the first time I've seen what Hugh Kennedy even looks like.

[@masahibbhatti4088]

Honestly, western historians have become less biased now. The great man history is out of the picture it seems

[@johnoparinde2682]

Thank you for introducing me to his work

thx a lot sir

Interesting lecture. Thanks for making it available. The professor mentions Arabic inscriptions from the Umayyad period found in Beit Shean which is now occupied by Israel. I visited and of course, they don't talk about this at all. They even have signs that say that there were earthquakes in the 500s or 600s and the place became mostly uninhabited. I found tons of examples of the erasing and ignoring of the Arab, Muslim and Palestinian history.

Your welcome

[@ScrapironRyann]

Great lecture thanks very much for posting, what’s the word the professor is using, sounds like Serbica? The hereditary pension law, that Muslims receive more money if they converted earlier, I’ve tried google and using the subtitles but nothing is coming up

[@landwarrior348]

He is using word أسبقية or if you cant read arabic its 'Sabakat'. It means one having precedence over another.

[@ScrapironRyann]

@@landwarrior348 Excellent thanks for the info

[@abuukarata9653]

Is true, they received much.

Any serious Islamic history does not come from Islamic sources. The Umayyads were sectarian Christian, not Islamic. There is absolutely no record of Islam or Muslims during that period. The fact that this guy calls himself a "historian" is laughable.

[@abuzuhm]

google "historiography early islam"

[@Roofhack]

@@abuzuhm Yep, and no serious information of it came from the time of Mohammad. For the first hundred years there was no historical record of armies of Islam or Hordes of Muslims. Nothing. Instead the Umayyads have crosses on their coins.

[@abuzuhm]

​@@Roofhack No, what I'm saying is that any basic research proves you wrong.

[@malinyamato2291]

agree, he is a pro islamist who provide no proofs.

[@malinyamato2291]

@@abuzuhm you provide no facts... why were not the name Mohammed or Meca mentioned during Umayyads or earlier?

[@delavagavaga7540]

Respected Professor, you are missing major points. (Ali) killed many of Umayyad’s family members in battle while the prophet was still alive. Ali was hated beyond measure. Hence, when abu sufyan son muwayaa took power, he had a personal vendetta against Ali. Proof, all the battles and civil wars in his time. Uthmans death had little to do with muwayaa vs Ali.

[@shah-jahan198]

you wrong man. 😂

[@Ufor332]

Load of crap

[@Zulfiqar32]

@Baang E Dara These are all later fabrications to re-habilitate Muawiyah. There was a clear animosity by the Ummayads and Uthamids toward Imam Ali(as). From Muawiyah, to Ayesha to Talha & Zubair.

[@Zulfiqar32]

@Baang E Dara Sound argument.

[@Zulfiqar32]

All valid - Readers are urged to read "Opposing the Imam" by Nebil Husayn and "Succession to Muhammad" by Wilfred Madelung.

[@juslostone]

What's fascinating The Ummayah showed up with pages of the Quran to confront Ali. These dudes had Quran before Ali!

[@malinyamato2291]

why did umayyad put christian crosses on their coins?

[@malinyamato2291]

what a contraditictive and silly statement: -- the tex on the dome of the rock is quoranic but nothing from the Quoran -- what makes it quoranic? No proofs or examples! He has no clue about it.
