Imam Shamil: Dagestan's GREATEST Leader

[@buzzbarbhuiyan5945]

Imam Shamil was a Sufi warrior. Sheikh as a general existed long long before Imam Shamil came into the scene. Many sufis ( well - lesser known)who came to subcontient to spread islam in 1200's were also known as " sufi apaheren - sufi warriors" they were people of knowledge at the same time established warriors and could be easily absorbed into existing sultan's army and even lead sultan's force in the battle if need be and were of great assistance. Sufi Saint Hazrat Shah Jalal when he came to the Indian subcontient he came down with approximately 360 nos. of Sufi apaherens and some of the finest battle hardened sufi generals.

@@HBKDEVDYNASTY Actually it is "alp - eren", colloquially this word has been butchered over the centuries and got normalised as apaheren to refer "Sufi warriors". Sub continents earliest sustained contact with islamic civilisation occurred in the context of the geopolitical convulsion that had driven large numbers of Turkish speaking groups from Central Asia into Iranian Plateau and India. Whether as military, slaves for sultans, as adventurers or as refugees fleeing before the Mongol advance. Turks gravitated not only to older centers of Islamic world Baghdad, Cairo, Samarkand but also to its fringes including the Subcontinent. Immigrant groups were often led by "alp" or "alp-eren" identified as the heroic figure of old Turkic saga, the warrior adventurer whose exploits alone justified his way of life. Migrating Turks also grouped themselves into islamic mystical fraternities typically organised around Sufi leaders who combined the characteristics of the heroic figure of old Turkic saga, the "alp" and pre islamic Turkish shaman that is, charismatic holy man believed to posses (karamat) magical powers and to have intimate contact with the unseen world. It happened with strict authority structure that had evolved for transmitting Islamic mystical knowledge from master( murshid) to disciple,( murid) proved remarkably well suited for binding retainers to charismatic leaders. This too lent force to Turkish drive to subcontinent especially in undivided Bengal frontier and East of India.

Sheikh Shamil was one of the best Muslim leaders our Ummah had, he didn't win sovereignty for the Muslims in that region but he did win them some autonomy to keep practicing Islam against overwhelming odds (The Russian Empire was very powerful). May Allah give him the highest rank in Jannah. Ameen

[@Saadbsth]

@@AbuGhruba he was a great warrior. But best muslim..nahhhh!!!. He was very merciless and heavy handed. One time he killed and burned a whole aoul for the crime of one person only.

[@fatimaeleysa]

greetings from tr. you are great scholar mashaallah. Thank you for the videos you made from the ahlisunnah perspective

I was wondering if Hadji Murad would come up. The only thing I knew about the time and place prior to this video was from finding and skimming Hadji Murad's Wikipedia page (yes I know that doesn't amount to learning much) after having looked up Leo Tolstoy's view of Islam, from which I discovered that Tolstoy wrote a novel based on Hadji Murad's story. My spark of interest is much more propelled by what I learned here, but I guess it's another example of how you never know where you might find knowledge. I don't even remember what exactly prompted me to look up Tolstoy's view of Islam in the first place. Obviously we don't need non-Muslims' validation of Islam, but it is heartening to know that Tolstoy apparently held it in very high regard. And the more routes for people to find Islam, the better.

Why do Chechen people practice Sufism, sufism nowhere in that region except them.. how did it happen? Dagestanis are very good, generous people!

​@micoberss5579 and sufism is also in the neighbouring kingdoms and even Russia proper.

The man you refer ad Ghazi Mullah is Ghazi Muhammad. Ghazi Mullah is how Russians used to call him. His real name is Ghazi Muhammad

[@yourstruly5706]

Mullah is what they called a high level scholar in the old days. It is the equivalent of a PhD in several fields.

[@micoberss5579]

@yourstruly5706 not in Dagestan bro. I am talking about the first imam of Dagestan Ghazi Muhammad. Russians called him Kazi Mulla. Nobody called him Kazi Mulla in Dagestan
