[@nikobellic9004]

About the death of zubayr ibn al awwam I like to correct the fact he was assassinated by ( Amr ibn Jarmouz) when he was praying the same way umar was Traitorously murdered , he said he wanted to travel with zubayr and when the time if prayer came he killed him from behind something he proudly admitted himself to ali, which tgen Ali told him " you shouldn't be proud of what you did, I heard from the prophet that the murdere of zubayr will be guaranteed hell, you lost your after life"... Zubayr wasn't trying to flee when he got killed, thats the nonsense chia like to make up to disrespect a great warrior who since day 1 when he accepted Islam at the age of 14 to his death at over 62 years of age has always been known for his courage that was on the border of suicidal.... Zubayr was famous for his skills as a first class warrior and just being one of the best warriors of his time, the guy participated in over a 100 millitary campaigns since the age of 14 and survived through all of them and (jarmouz) was well aware of that he was scared to fight him head on, he knew it was suicide to fight zubayr like that so he opted for the cowardly way of back stabing a 62 year old zubayr while he was prostrating in prayer......

[@nikobellic9004]

Also worth noting before zubayr abandoned the battle he told his son Abdullah ibn zubayr (the future caliph) to pay all of his debt in his place as if instinctively he knew he didn't have much longer to live

[@calm123]

Zubair didn't flee rather he felt guilty he was fighting other Muslims, Zubair was the disciple of the Prophet and true believer, and knew everything and prophet warned him about Fitna

[@PakBallandSami]

Note: For a generation, the Second Fitna stopped Muslim expansion in Central Asia. The lack of centrally appointed governors led to intertribal warfare among the Arab settlers in Khorasan, with local princes refusing to pay tribute and even launching raids into the region by the Hephthalite princes.The Mudari leader Abd Allah ibn Khazim al-Sulami established himself as the de facto ruler of Khorasan until 691, when the victorious Umayyads encouraged his rivals to revolt, ultimately leading to his death. Prior to that, he had massacred about 8,000 of his rivals from the Rabi'a and Bakr ibn Wa'il tribes. The surviving members of Abd Allah's followers

I Love early islamic history and their formation into an expansive empire, truly remarkable. I also find it fascinating how small tribes once united by a charismatic leader end up conquering most of the world. i.e Muslims, Mongols, Persians,Roman, Greeks etc they were all small tribes until a visionary had bigger dreams. Also find it fascinating that the tribes were made to fight amongst one another by the established empire at the time because they knew their unification would cause trouble.

[@Yosefus418]

Your effort in the video is great, but there's a significant adoption of weaker narratives because they are more dramatic, such as Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr's participation in the siege of Uthman, or that Uthman favored his relatives, or that the compilation of the Quran faced huge controversy, even though the more reliable and stronger narratives can be found in the same book, which is the History of Tabari. I hope there will be a broader consideration of different narratives and accuracy in the future.

Regarding Uthman's burning of the quran: As for Othman’s collection, may God be pleased with him, it is narrated in Al-Bukhari that Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman, may God be pleased with him, came to Medina from the invasion of Armenia, and he entered upon Othman, who was the Commander of the Faithful at that time, before he entered his house, and said: Reach out to this nation before it perishes. He said: What about that? He said... in the Book of God, and he mentioned to him the differences of people in the recitations and their disputes and the appearance of some of them as infidels of others, and other things... So Othman gathered the Muhajireen and the Ansar and consulted with them about that, and they agreed to combine it according to what was authentic and proven in the famous recitations from the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and to leave out what He changed it, and his opinion was sound and successful, so he commissioned a group of companions to collect it, and they gathered it into one Qur’an, and they made copies of it, so Othman sent them to the cities, and they remained with him. Copy in Medina, this is the last plural. Ali bin Abi Talib, may God be pleased with him, said: If I had been the governor at the time of Uthman, I would have done the same thing with the Qur’an Othman did. God knows. Related materials 93

As always the extent of research to do those videos is insane, big respect. As I started reasently doing more research on history of the middle east region before the coming of Islam (a part of history I didn't know a lot about) , because of your video on the battle of (dhi qar) which is a battle that not a lot arabes or Muslim know about much less people for outside that culture, becose of your video I stanbled upon a very interesting and insane pre Islamic event that happened just before the birth of the last prophet of Islam and it is (the Basus War) or (the basus civil war) which lasted for 40 years because of a story of honor. That civil war gives you an idea of how dangerous living in the desert was before Islam came and on the mindset the arabes had back then and how leaving in that environment hardened them which no doubt unintentionally prepared in their early lighting quonquest against the persian, Romans and pagan arabs. What Trigger that civil war and the events that followed are both epic and helarious at the same time but also, sad, funny and badass. When I started reading about it I couldn't stop. .

​@@mansa-musa653 Despite the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) praying more than 40,000 times in front of multiple Sahaba, Muslims still disagree on how to pray.

As for the topic of "Latmiya" Shias do not "dance" and "punch" themselves in praise of Hussein and Hassan (AS.) I advise you to seek knowledge instead of parroting false TikTok narratives that are meant to further divide Muslims. "Allah will exalt in degree those of you who believe, and those who have been granted knowledge." [58:11] Please do not speak on topics you have absoloutely no knowledge of either.

For your information, if you follow any Sunni school of thought, your prayers are valid according to all Sunni schools of thought. As for the Shiites, there are prayers that they do not pray.

ok ... here is my Rant for this episode I had to stop watching to correct a huge mistake, I wanted to mention this in your previous video about the first Fitnah, but sadly I didn't because I am a lazy dude) it about how you presented the "burning" of the Quran ... although I am not a big expert in the Islamic history but I am knowledgeable enough to be surprised about the claim that the up rising against Othman - God rest his soul - had to do with "Buring" of the Quran, not only I never heard of that, but what Othman did - God rest his soul - was not controversial at all. what he did had nothing to do with the Quran but rather how to WRITE IT. to clear few things: -The Quran is not the book, it is the "Words", the written book is called "Mushaf", not Quran. -The Quran is passed down through passing of the words, mouth to ear (up to this day), not through the written "Mushaf" -There are multiple ways to recite the Quran (there is a full branch of Quranic studies called the Methods of Recitation), all these methods were taught by the Prophet peace be upon him. Some words might have different pronunciation, different dialects were used, different tones of voice/sound, and even different words. -The Arabs at their early years where an illiterate nation, they never relayed on writing, only on memory to pass down anything.... thus very few people knew how to write and on top of that, the written Arabic was very primitive, the majority of letters had no unique shape of their own, for example the Letters ب, ت, ث, ن had one shape to present them all, the letters س , ش and ص, ض were the same case, you can see that the "dots" are the only way to tell them a part ... there was no dots back then, not to mention no punctuation, nor movement markings of letters ( ٌ , ً , ِ ) which are small markers that tells you how the letter are pronounced within the word it self, the same word with same letters can be completely different words depending on how the letters are pronounced, for example : سحر and سحر have the same letters but actually 2 different words, سَحَر is what the "time before dawn" is called, while سِحْر means "magic" ( ya Arabic language hates you). -For native Arabs, these are not issues, they can understand and differentiate between the different recitation methods without any problem, there was no need for written "Mushaf", however that turned out to be a nightmare for new non Arabs Muslims, they are not natives, Arabic is a very VERY vast language, the Quran is the pinnacle of that language, and they are not used to relay on their memories as the Arabs are. So they have to relay on a written version (that does not exist except for the one "Mushaf" that was joined at the time of the first Caliph Abu Bakr - God rest his soul - ) so they had to relay on whatever scraps or scrolls they find with the prophet's companions who came to their lands.... rare scrolls that could contain the personal notes of the companion, some of the prophet's teaching , some verses or chapters that could be written according to how ever the companion chose to write it based on what ever method of recitation he chose (Arabic writing was very primitive back then with virtually no rules for writing it) -So here you have a people who are not native to a language, a language that happens to be one of the most complicated and vast languages, these people are learning the "Words of God" (the Quran) that is the pinnacle of that language, a Quran that has a unique style and method of speaking and pronunciation that is different than the language itself, and this unique way has multiple ways to recite within it. On top of that, this Quran is passed through memory not by writing , and the writing capabilities for that Super language is primitive, no dots, no movement marking for letters, no punctuation and no dictation rules. this is like a 10 years old driving a spaceship that has no manual And that is a recipe for disaster.... and that exactly what was about to happen. -When the Muslims army were facing the Sassanid and requested reinforcement form the armies at the byzantine side, newly convert Muslims from the Byzantine territory met for the newly convert Muslims from the Sassanid territory and discovered that they are reciting the Quran different than each other (depending on who taught them), they almost fought each other, if it wasn't for the prophets companions who were present, interfering and explaining that these different ways are all correct. -That incident alarmed one of the prophet's companion (I forgot who he was ) and he informed the 3rd Caliph, and that when the decision of writing a unified "Mushaf" (not Quran) emerged, the main purpose was to prevent conflict among new non Arabic converts, and have a unified base written version for non Arabs to refer to. and to prevent having multiple written versions (because of the multiple recitation methods) that non Arabs wont be able to tell them a part nor to tell them from a fake one. -That is how the "Othmanic Font/writing method" was born, a special way to write the Quran in a way that could contain as much as possible of the different recitation methods, a special front and dictation rules were used that is different form the one used for the language itself. The Muslims up to this day agreed that the "Mushaf" must not be written in another way (except for educational purposes). -Once that new standardized written version was complete, any other written scraps, scrolls, wooden tablet were burned (duh) and I think 4 copies were made and sent to the corners of the Caliphate with a SKILLED RECIETER accompanying each one, to teach people how to recite (because the "Mushaf" doesn't cover that). and this is why, up to this day, certain methods of recitation are more common in certain parts of the Islamic world than others, for example in west Africa the method of "Warsh" is more widely used than in the Middle East where the method of "Hafs" is more commonly used. -The "Mushaf" served as written reference of the Quran, but it is NOT The Quran, it doesn't matter if you have 12 Ph.D's in Arabic language, you still won't be able to recite the Quran correctly by reading from the "Mushaf", you need to learn it directly from someone who learned directly from some one who learned it directly from some -------> until you reach the prophet peace be upon him. (and that is a certification called the "Sanad", which link you in a continuous chain of reciters to the Prophet - Peace be upon him - ) -The Quran (with its different methods of recitation) is still preserved, but not through the written "Mushaf", and while the Quran is preserved and never changed (with all the different methods) the "Mushaf" keeps changing, across the times, more modifications were added, the addition of dots to letters , the special letters markers and punctuation markers that are unique to the Quran, numbering the verses, dividing it to 30 parts, dividing each part to 2 "Hizb" dividing each "Hizb" into quarters, up to using color coded letters and words to indicate certain pronunciation and sound extensions (that was used for the first time couple of decades ago). not to mention special "Mushaf"s that are written according to a certain recitation method that is used only educational purposes.

This fitna was caused by Abd Allah ibn Saba' According to Sunni and Shia tradition, Abd Allah ibn Saba' was a Yemenite Jew from the Arab Himyar tribe who converted to Islam during Uthman's reign. Because of his exaggerated reverence for Ali, he is traditionally considered as the first of the ghulāt. In accounts collected by Sayf ibn Umar, Ibn Saba' and his followers, the Saba'iyya, are said to be the ones who enticed the Egyptians against Uthman and were responsible for breaking the near-settlement at the Battle of the camel and he the one that turned people against Usman by accusing him of nepotism Research him from Islam sources

@@davidela9022 Which Sunni scholars can you even name them as you making a claim back it up And it’s not in Hadiths it’s history and fact you said Hadiths shows you don’t known what you on about Hadiths are regarding the prophet and his life and his companions not someone that came later on there are NO HADITHS about him 🙈😂 If you saying there then again back up claim which Hadith references please

16;20 Mohammad Ibn Abu Hanifiya was Ali's son by marriage only, but he was in fact half-brother of Ayesha as both were children of the first caliph Abu Bakar. Ali had married Mohammad Ibn Hanifiya's mother after her first husband Abu Bakar died. Mohammad Ibn Abu Bakar is the same person named at 19;25.

[@adamsnow4979]

Mohammad ibn hanifiya is the son of Ali by a woman from banu haneefah. Please don’t distort Islamic history

It is fascinating how the unity under faith might have been a driving factor in early muslim rapid expansion.

There doesn't seem to be a religion on the planet earth that follows its own rules. Then the religious wonder why there are so many atheists .... At least we're honest about our disbelief

[@khouyal3chiri197]

Are you honest about the fact your belief is nihilistic and follows a pitiless indifferent view of an existence with no moral objectivity for you to condemn anything outside your hedetary preferences?

The Deylamites were commonly described, together with the Turks, as the most barbarous and odious enemies of the Muslims (Ṭabarī, II, pp. 285, 320, 722, 748, 1391), against whom religious war (jehād) was most meritorious. When the ‘Abbāsid Caliphs were under Buwayhid suzerainty their Mamlūk policy was not free from the pressure of that Daylamite dynasty. The success of the Daylamite soldiers in so many eastern armies is really astounding, but in the slightly longer run they stood no chance against the Turkish Mamlūks, and they disappeared. Even a Buwayhid ruler preferred Turks over them (see e.g.Bosworth, , “Ghaznevid military organisation”, p. 42
