Some clarification about Jizyah and Kharaj. Jizyah was actually a fixed amount and not a percentage. Its value was usually around 1-2 Dinars A YEAR. On the other hand, Zakat is a percentage therefore it's always variable in exact value. However, one thing that is certain is that it was almost always higher than Jizyah by orders of magnitude. I can't find exact numbers for reference but all sources from this time seem to agree on this aspect. However, this also means that the richer a Muslim gets, the more taxes they paid. However, the richer a non-Muslim got, they'd still pay the same amount (although there are cases where Jizyah could be increased for the rich for up to 20 Dinars. Still less than what a Muslim making the same amount would have to pay) Another thing to note is that Jizyah was only paid by men that are able to pay it. If you couldn't pay it, you are exempted from it. If you are a woman, child, or elderly, you were also exempted. Kharaj was 10% and almost every recorded case of it being higher was caused by corruption of the leader of the area. Usher was also 10%. That means, overall, non-muslims were paying less taxes than Muslims AND they didn't have to go to war and Muslims were actually forced to protect them. Finally, to put all of this all into perspective. The average American pays 15-20% of their annual income in taxes. Some parts of Europe pay 50% or more. No matter how you look at it, both Muslims and non-Muslims during that period of time paid significantly less taxes than what we pay today.

As a Berber myself I have to clarify something … First of all great video I love the animations, humor and of course historical facts of it all. I only wish to point out that in no way berbers are « fair » skinned because of european empires … Berbers have inhabited North Africa for at least 6000 years and we have paintings of them (called Lybians back then) dating back to the ancient egyptian civilization and they were white… whiter than the egyptians even though no european had ever set foot in North Africa yet. Genetic studies have debunked the myth of European ascendance a while ago now. Berbers (or amazigh) are either whitish in the north (Rif🇲🇦, Kabyle 🇩🇿 …) tan a bit more south (Chleuh🇲🇦) and only a feeew are black (tuareg and certain mixed chleuh in morocco). Most black amazighs are black because of mixing during the slave trade … not the other way around. Modern day Chleuhs from the High Atlas🇲🇦 are those who mixed the less (genetically and linguistically proven) and they are at most tanned. We must keep in mind that Africa is a continent where multiple indigenous ethnicities and colors co-exist… just like in Asia there are Huan Chinese but also Arabs and also Punjabis etc … multiple colors indigenous to a single continent. Africa is not only black, Africa is white/tan to the north because well… Mediterranean climate, and black to the south of the Sahara. Other than this beautiful video thank you keep it up 🫡

Jizyah was not a percentage it was a fixed amount and depended on the income of the person from 4 to 20 for the rich 1 for the poor(dinars)(gold coin). Sources: 1Islamic Jurisprudence: Classical Islamic jurists like Abu Yusuf, a prominent disciple of Imam Abu Hanifa, wrote about the jizya in his work Kitab al-Kharaj. He describes how the jizya should be assessed based on a person’s financial status, with different fixed amounts assigned to the wealthy, middle class, and the poor. 2Historical Accounts: The jizya was implemented differently across various Islamic empires, such as the Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates. Historical texts from these periods often describe the jizya as a fixed annual levy, rather than a percentage of income. 3 Modern Scholarship: Contemporary historians like Bernard Lewis and Ira M. Lapidus have written extensively on Islamic taxation, including the jizya. In their works, they discuss how the jizya was applied as a fixed sum and how the rates varied by region and time period.

[@nawaf1106]

👍👍👍

[@Canned_Knight]

Should also be noted that by the mid/late-Ummayad and early-Abbasid states the Kharaj was def levied on land usually regardless of religion. During the rule of Umar II kharaj and slave taxes were generally abolished, however due to various military and financial issues kharaj was re-introduced under the Caliphate of Hisham. This together with Kharijite agitation led to sentiments of revolt. Most governors also commonly mistreated their Berber regiments/auxiliaries, which led to them becoming disaffected and some infilitrated by the Kharjites. When around ~740 AH when the oppressiveness of general taxation increased by the Maghrebi governors, Sufri Kharjites managed to instigate the Berber Revolt (also for this reason known as the Kharijite Revolt).

We're also forgetting that if you are responsible for a family (say 3 children, your wife if she has no wealth, your mother, and your mother in law if they also dont have individual wealth, which was very common at the time due to women not being able to work and instead caring for their families), you have to pay for THEIR zakat, as you are responsible for them, meaning not only do you have to pay your 2.5%, but you also have to pay an accumulated 12.5%, which adds up to 25% on zakat alone, most of the muslim population during caliphates had big families and were responsible for a number of people in their family, however jizya is only paid if you are a healthy working man that can afford jizya, you dont have to pay jizya for other individuals, children dont have to pay jizya, elderly people don't have to pay jizya, and women didnt have to pay jizya either, and jizya is paid in return for the services and protection that the islamic caliphate provides, there were mutliple instances where jizya had to be returned to non muslims due to the caliphate's inability to provide any of these services

Pretty sure the blurry name meant that it was fair in pure Islam, not fair in the Ummayad system. To start, Jizya is not 10% of your wage, never was. Jizya also has nothing to do with not fighting in the army, it has to do with not being Muslim but anyhow, Kharaj was never mentioned once in a Hadith or the Quran. Kharaj was made as a "counterpart to Zakat" but religiously, Jizya is already a counterpart to Zakat. They were just a greedy empire, but whatever commenter came in probably meant it in that Islam was fair in its original taxation methods, before later empires got greedy.

[@ahmad_alhallak]

​@@forget112cv9correct for the late Ummayd period, not for tax in principle Jiziyah*in principle* was a fixed protection tax levied on males who did not work for the state (non Muslims can and did hold positions in Muslim states, John of Damascus, the first christian to write a polemic against Islam, was the son and grandson of highly ranked Ummayd officials), who were also not poor, who also we're not monks or men of religion, and who didn't join Muslim armies. It was levied on non Muslims only because Muslims can't opt out of joining Muslim armies. Non Muslims also didn't have to pay the Zakat levied on Muslims. The fact that it was a protection tax can be observed by the fact that Muslim armies returned the Jiziyah taken from the people of Southern Syria after they withdrew temporarily from the advancing Roman armies during the Rashidun conquest of the Levant Of course this is the Jiziyah in principle, in practice the nature of the tax changed with rulers, rarely adhering to the exact principle It was also wrong about non Muslims being forbidden from joining Muslim armies, it probably was a policy for certain rulers at certain times, but in the vast majority of cases Muslim armies had non Muslims in it, but it would usually be a certain ethnic or religious group, not random individuals The video was also wrong about the nature of the Zakat tax, as it was not based on revenue, but on fixed holdings (money/assets that did not change hands), and on it being spent exclusively on Muslims, Zakat is meant for the state to spend, and at least under the rule of Umar II it was spent on the poor regardless of religion (Umar II is considered by most Muslims to be the extra 5th and last Rashidun -meaning just- Caliph, the late Ummayd rulers who instigated the discriminatory laws on non Arabs are generally seen in a bad light by both Muslims and Muslim jurists)

[@tkthebeyonder6714]

Exactly !!!!!. His financial comparison is wrong on so many aspects. Firstly, ZAKAT is 2,5% of a 1 year untouched wealth, not of income, so it's not 2.5% of 100$, it's 2,5% of the entire wealth that the muslim gathered his entire life, so it's a lot more than 2,5$, unless the muslim is poor and can't accumulate wealth, then he pays nothing. Secondly, USHER is not a fiwex 10%, it's either 5% or 10% depending on the access of water to the farm. Thirdly, JIZYA is not about non muslims not doing military service, they can participate in battle with muslims, and it's proven from the prophet's treaty with the jews in Madina. JIZYA is about the payment for protection provided by muslims to non muslims properties, and historically, when muslims in Andalusia lost the war and had to flee, they gave back the jizya to the non muslims because they couldn't protect them. Fourthly, and most importantly, KHARAJ is not a tax for non muslims, it's a payement for renting a state land. The land belongs to the state, and so anyone who uses it and benefit from it has to pay KHARAJ, either he's a muslim or not. So basically you can't count KHARAJ in the comparison because it can be for both muslim and non muslim. and Zakat is 2.5% of wealth not income, so it's a lot bigger. You can't make a clear numeric comparison, but generally, muslims should pay more than non muslims.

[@Dr_Holiday]

Let’s clarify a few things: In Islam, the religion doesn’t concern itself with the actions of certain individuals. There is no prescribed percentage for Jizyah, unlike Zakat, which is set at 2.5% of one’s wealth. Non-Muslims are not entirely exempt from military service; they may choose to join the army or pay Jizyah, which is never more than the taxes paid by Muslims. Muslims, on the other hand, are required to pay Zakat and other government taxes, regardless of their military service. A Muslim nation must protect non-Muslims under its rule and never impose unjust hardships or laws upon them, as doing so is entirely against Islam.

[@crusader1242]

Yeah fr, even nowadays non-muslims are priviledged in muslim societies, like coptic christians in Egypt or the christians in Pakistan, they're very protected and pay no taxes. 🙂

~3:20 This isn't accurate. There definitely were lighter-skinned Berber/Amazigh ("Berber" comes from "Barbarian," some consider it offensive, "Amazigh" is a popular alternative) people, including plenty who had recent European ancestry, but the majority more closely resembled (and still resemble) West Asians. This is because in the stone age there were several waves of migration into North Africa from West Asia, with the migrants absorbing earlier "Black"-looking peoples to form the foundations of the modern North African population. This was early enough that Amazigh DNA is detectably distinct from West Asian DNA, so we can pretty easily distinguish between the foundational DNA of modern Amazigh people and the more recent influence of European and Asian migrants. North Africa has always been a melting pot, but it hasn't experienced huge population turnover; the number of Europeans who moved to Africa during Roman rule was not significant enough to significantly change the average appearance. Genetics also show that the majority of the modern Arab population of North Africa is ALSO primarily descended from local Amazigh populations, who were culturally assimilated into Arab identity, not replaced; hence, the North African population probably didn't look super different before the Arab conquests than it does today.

Inaccurate, although your info is appreciated, the idea that west asians immigrated into north africa is a ridiculous theory that hasnt been proven at all by anything besides the talltales of a few old greek philosophers who thought that tribes of aryans and persians were the ancestors of berbers and that was untrue, West asians and North Africans share the same looks mostly due to similar climates and arab intermingling with the local populatuon, and even then, we still look very different from each other by country, Egyptians look very similar to arabs because Egyptians arent considered apart of the Amazigh countries and were heavily settled and mixed with arabs since their early conquest, whereas places like Morocco has people that barely look like Arabs of Arabia proper, Imazighen had been the natives of north Africa for as long as human history existed, with cave paintings accredited to us since 6000 years old and depicting much of us as of a light skin and even ancient egyptians depicting our ancestors (then called Lybians) as of a lighter skin nearly 3000 years later, amazigh barely mixed with romans or vandals at all and often stood at odds with them and conducted raids into their lands, european colonization also barely left any effect, the only mixing being extremely minor cases with colonists such as the Pied noir and Italians and those left as soon as independence was gained, as most of the native population held hatred towards those colonizing them and didnt want to intermingle with them, in any case the idea that west asians migrated to north africa to surplant and change a native of the people is an idea that i only saw black supremacist afrocentrists ever use, Imazighen werent considered one united people or race until only recently and every tribe had an origin and culture, Amazigh is more like an umbrella word for natives of north africa at this point.

[@SomasAcademy]

@@nabilrifai8877 ...My dude, read what I actually said next time before typing an essay. I said "in the stone age." I'm talking about the genetic evidence, which is that Imazighen are primarily descended from people who migrated into Africa from West Asia, probably in multiple waves, between about 40,000 and 6,000 years ago, who mixed with previously existing populations from the region (since North Africa has been populated for some 300,000 years by various groups of people). Literally nothing to do with Greek theories, and we're talking thousands of years before "Aryans" were a thing. And I'm aware that Imazighen are diverse in appearance. So too are West Asians; my point was that in general it's more accurate to compare Imazighen to West Asians than to call them "European lookalikes," as there is a greater degree of overlap between West Asian and North African features (as any overlap between North African and European features ALSO exists between West Asian and European features, while much of the overlap between Amazigh and West Asian features is rare in Europe).

You can't make a clear numeric comparison, but generally, muslims should pay more than non muslims.

This is the problem with the average guy talking about the history of the umayyad caliphate , basically most of the KZbinrs talking about the umayyad tell the story from a liberal point of view as if the ummayads lived in the modern world!! If you want to know what is unfair and fair you have to compare the umayyads to other empires at the time like the Romans, the Sassanids and the Western European kingdoms ! Overall, the Umayyad Caliphate's system was likely the least harsh for the average citizen, especially for Muslims, due to a generally more balanced and less corrupt approach to taxation compared to the Roman and Sassanid empires. The other point is the Berber revolt , actually the revolt doesn't end the ummayads rule in north Africa but weakening it , and the reasons are numerous, and basically the revolution was led by Kharijites , this sect get support in north Africa , and gained popularity , so the idiological part play a major role in the events , not just taxation. And actually the ummayads continue to control several coastal areas in eastern Algeria ( I am my self Algerian from east Algeria) and ifryquia ( Tunisia) , syranica (Libya) before the Abbasids took over...in fact the ummayads archive an important victory at the Battle of al-Asnam (742 AD) against Sufrite Kharijites near telemacen western Algeria * About the Berbers : white skin Berbers can't be related for sure to romans or white settlers , it is true that some Berbers have different origins but Muslim historians mostly speaks about mazigh ibn ( son of ) Canaan , who is considered as the father of Berbers ... * I am my self an arab , who speaks Arabic as his mother tongue , can't tell much about Berbers

Edit: Grammar First of all, phenomenal video! love the graphics and the way you tell the story! But, not sure where you got your information about the taxes from, I would advise you to read more about it. Kharaj is a tax that is paid by farmers (land owners) regardless of faith. Jizya, has been always lower than Zakat (for the most part). Jizya had a tiered system where the amount paid depends on how wealthy a person is. Poor people, women, children, the elderly, and religious figures (like priests) did not have to pay the Jizya. For people who did have to pay the Jizya, there were usually three tiers (Rich, middle class, and poor). Again, the poor didn’t pay Jizya, others paid it depending on how much they make. “Usher” means “A tenth”, which means 10% of what you make, which in this case you were correct. Kharaj would be exactly the same for muslims and non-muslims. They only comparison would be between zakat and Jizya, which Jizya was usually lower. Also the taxes that were paid by the berbers under roman rule, was significantly higher, maybe I am missing something, but I don’t think it was the driving force behind their revolts. I believe it’s because the Ummayads gave arabs special treatment compared to other people living in the caliphate. I realize this is somewhat of a generalization, but it’s important to look at each period individually. These numbers definitely changed throughout history.

The financial comparison is wrong on so many aspects. Firstly, ZAKAT is 2,5% of a 1 year untouched wealth, not of income, so it's not 2.5% of 100$, it's 2,5% of the entire wealth that the muslim gathered his entire life, so it's a lot more than 2,5$, unless the muslim is poor and can't accumulate wealth, then he pays nothing. Secondly, USHER is not a fiwex 10%, it's either 5% or 10% depending on the access of water to the farm. Thirdly, JIZYA is not about non muslims not doing military service, they can participate in battle with muslims, and it's proven from the prophet's treaty with the jews in Madina. JIZYA is about the payment for protection provided by muslims to non muslims properties, and historically, when muslims in Andalusia lost the war and had to flee, they gave back the jizya to the non muslims because they couldn't protect them. Fourthly, and most importantly, KHARAJ is not a tax for non muslims, it's a payement for renting a state land. The land belongs to the state, and so anyone who uses it and benefit from it has to pay KHARAJ, either he's a muslim or not. So basically you can't count KHARAJ in the comparison because it can be for both muslim and non muslim. and Zakat is 2.5% of wealth not income, so it's a lot bigger. You can't make a clear numeric comparison, but generally, muslims should pay more than non muslims.

What are your sources for the tax section? It seems that some information was misrepresented, oversimplified, and also Im wondering where you got the numbers from at all since the taxes varied significantly. Plus in the 7th century the kharaj and jizyah were the same thing? The 20-50% kharaj you are referring to is from the Delhi Sultanate, which has nothing to do with the Ummuyads. From Princeton University press: Quote: "Jizya was levied upon dhimmis in compensation for their exemption from military service in the Muslim forces. If dhimmis joined Muslims in their mutual defense against an outside aggressor, the jizya was not levied."" So why did you say they had to be muslim to join? You should be more rigorous with your research! "the insignificant amount of this yearly tax, the fact that it was progressive, that elders, poor people, handicapped, women, children, monks and hermits were exempted, leave no doubt about exploitation or persecution of those who did not accept Islam. Comparing its amount to the obligatory zaka which an ex-dhimmi should give to the Muslim state in case he converts to Islam dismisses the claim that its aim was forced conversions to Islam." I am not sure if it was a harmless mistake or agenda-based misrepresentation, either way it's disappointing as it took me about 10 minutes to find the facts.

It's important to clarify that the original Berbers (Amazigh) and early populations in North Africa were darker-skinned due to adaptation to intense UV radiation. Lighter-skinned populations arrived later through migrations and interactions with groups like Slavic slaves, pale Southern European Islamic converts, and other pale sources. There is no archaeological, linguistic, or anthropological evidence from ancient times, nor any writings or drawings, that describe the original North Africans as pale. Even Herodotus, who traveled through the region, did not mention seeing pale North Africans. If you believe otherwise, I encourage you to provide the *oldest primary source evidence* available-whether it's a mummy, a drawing, or any archaeological artifact that shows pale-skinned North Africans from ancient times. But it must be the earliest evidence found. As it stands, existing evidence overwhelmingly supports that the original populations of North Africa were darker-skinned, with lighter skin tones appearing only later through migration and mixing.

1. Islamic jurists required adult, free, sane, able-bodied males of military age with no religious functions among the non-muslim community to pay the jizya, while exempting women, children, elders, handicapped, monks, hermits, the poor, the ill, the insane, slaves, as well as musta'mins (non-Muslim foreigners who only temporarily reside in Muslim lands) and converts to Islam. NON-MUSLIMS who chose to JOIN MILITARY SERVICE were EXEMPTED from payment. If anyone could not afford this tax, they would not have to pay anything. Sometimes a non-muslim was exempted from jizya if he rendered some valuable services to the state. 2. Abd al-Rahman didn't attack al-Fihri and his men while they're asleep during the night.

That there were a lot more taxes for Muslims than just Zakat which STARTED at 2.5% of your wealth depending on how wealthy you are but can go as high as 25%.Talk about taxing the rich, amirite? Next, non-Muslims could still fight for the Caliphate as auxiliaries, sailors, and militia but rarely would you find them as cavalry or frontlines, that is true, but the simple fact they were not forced into war like the many empires before Islam did was a massive boon.

A quick comment on the Berber revolt: in Al-Andalus, the Berbers were defeated, some having already defected to the Visigoths in the North beforehand, while the rest were expelled by Andalusian Arabs and the few that remained had to pretend to be Arabs to avoid detection. In the Maghreb, there were four major battles, the first two battles, Al-Ashraf and Baqdoura, the Berber Kharijites defeated the Arab Umayyad army, while losing the latter two, Al-Qarn and Al-Asnam, decisively. Subsequently, the Umayyads managed to regain their control over the Maghreb and Al-Andalus, as told by Moroccan historian Al-Nasiri in his book Al-Istiqsa, p. 96: "And Hanthala held onto the Maghreb in the best condition until the Caliphate started waning in the East and its voice dimmed after what struck the Umayyads from the sedition of the corrupt Al-Walid."

The information in the video about Jizya and kharaj is misleading. Non-Muslims pay jizya in exchange for protection and exemption from military service that's correct, but with amounts based on financial capacity: the wealthy paid around two dinars annually (one dinar is around 4.5 gold grams), the middle class paid less, and the poor were exempt. And about the kharaj is considered as a land tax applied equally to Muslims and non-Muslims, typically up to 20% of the land’s produce, not a percentage of income. These systems were established to ensure social justice and the state's protection of its citizens.

Bro got his history information from the hood , a lot of mistakes unfortunately

[@SaidXR]

The Umayyad Empire was a trash Islamic empire The Amazighs ended the control of that empire in Africa and Europe. After the Battle of Al achraf ⚔️ and The Battle of Bakdora ⚔️ Why was the green mark placed in Europe and North Africa? The people who ruled those regions at that time were the Iberians and the Amazighs. and Abbasid Empire end in Tunisia.

@User01-cn5jg Yes maybe 🤔 Because Arabs steal a lot of the history of non-Arab Muslims. 97% of Muslims are not Arabs
