Why did it take two years to upload a the sequel

[@reddixiecrat]

Could you do some videos on the influence of Iranian Shia culture and also maybe how western interference has effected the Islamic world like Faramosh Khaneh and Kermit Roosevelt Jr.

You never fail to present such clear and concise, yet in depth, information. We love watching your videos and getting to work with you!

3:25 "The rich manage to find a way to not pay taxes that's cheaper than paying taxes" is perhaps the most consistent recurring event in all human history.

[@AlMuqaddimahYT]

In the previous video on the Abbasids, I talked about an oil tycoon who was influencing politics.

[@sulemanhaider1305]

Question: Why did Ibn Tulun need a fatwa for his war? Many Muslims and Muslim leaders fought other Muslims before and after the Abbasids (as well as the Abbasids themselves) without the need for a Jihad, and they were able to garner immense support with or without the clergy.

[@AlMuqaddimahYT]

He just wanted additional legitimacy for the war. Since al-Muwaffaq had arrested the Caliph, there was cause to say that he had committed a crime against Islam. A Fatwa could've helped him get more people on his side. Same thing happened in the Great Abbasid Civil War.

[@adamsnow4979]

It wasn’t about fighting Muslims it was about fighting against the Abbasid caliphate he wished to continue to support only with full autonomy

[@masahibbhatti4088]

Finally an Al Muqaddimah video. Dude you should upload more consistently. Your channel has great potential

the community is also pretty good! i like religious studies stuff, im glad there is a little religious studies community which isn't conspiracy, misinformation, and tribalism. i... erm... am possibly just overly Canadian....

[@lerneanlion]

It seemed to me that whenever the Abbasid Caliphate was on the road of recovery, something bad must happen to prevent the Caliphate's revival. And the most brutal of them all is when the Mongols arrived in 1258 and we all know what happened when they arrived at Baghdad.

[@jonesameal1798]

Abbasaid caliphate was white supremacy mind sets and idealogy.

[@analyticalmindset]

Good , especially because it was helped built on the back of African slaves . Any empire built that way should fall

Been binging some of your videos and gotta say the editing on this channel is next level man, love that you're covering islamic history aswell, there's not a lot of channels covering islamic history on this level, keep it up.

[@Uzair_Of_Babylon465]

Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job

[@laenorvelaryon5835]

I first thought it's about Al Mutamid ibn Abbad, a personal favorite of mine, then I read the zanj revolt and I was like yay we're back to abbassid history, can't say enough how much I appreciate it. BTW, after you're done telling the history of the abbassid caliphate (not before a long long time I hope) you should make an abbassid playlist but in chronological historical order, not the order of video upload, it would be excellent. thanks again.

[@unusualhistorian1336]

Great video like always

[@ibnshmr]

Love your videos. Been a fan of the channel for a while now but I only subscribed today. I love your series on Al-Andalus. If you want an interesting topic to cover for a video I suggest you look into the Umayyad family after the collapse of their caliphate. Ibn Hazm’s book on Arab genealogies lists many Umayyad families (descended from Abdulrahman I and other branches) present during his time. It will be a difficult topic to research but something new in Islamic history as it is rarely covered. Good luck!

[@TheHijaazi]

Good work ❤❤

[@jamesbay115]

Love these Abbasid caliphate videos, it’s so much easier to find good western histories of it seems like every other major Islamic empire other than the abbasids, like I’ve heard of the Zanj revolt but only in passing and in how it related to the byzantines, never learned much about the revolt itself though

[@theletterw3875]

I really like this channel, been binging and sharing since I found it yesterday. My only respectful and constructive criticism is that I find a lot of the background music rather anxiety inducing. I don't want to insinuate that you need to somehow please me personally to improve the value of your channel at all, just hoping to give you some formatting feedback. Thanks again.

[@magma9000]

I WAS WONDERING WHEN YOU Will SHOW UP

[@filhanislamictv8712]

Finally I read about the Zanj rebellion recently and Happy to see in a video.

[@mapk1516]

Another great video man! Could you perhaps one day do a video on the issue of Hindu-Muslim relations in the subcontinent, particularly to the ideological conflict between the supporters of the two-nation theory and composite nationalists? I find this to be a fascinating subject, simply because of the intellectuals on both sides of the argument. You had people like Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, Muhammad Iqbal, and Muhammad Ali Jinnah who supported a separate Muslim state, but you also had scholars like Barkatullah Bhopali, Ubaidullah Sindhi, Inayatullah Khan Mashriqi and Hussain Ahmed Madani who made compelling arguments in favor of Hindu-Muslim unity.

[@thepubgguy595]

Finally!!

[@ORDENSSTAAT_]

You should make a video about the Qarmatians. They have an interesting history and it'd make a good video, plus, nobody has really covered them yet.

[@hussain6469]

What a strange coincidence, Yesterday was the anniversary of the 10th shia imam’s death, he is thought by Shia Muslims to have been poisoned by Al Mu’taz or Al Mu’tamid for which they are both cursed by (Majority of) shias to this day

[@itacom2199]

Hi bro!

[@midnight_pilgrim]

I have a great video idea for you! The Delhi Sultanate was an interesting power of India and was the first actual empire to rule over it’ s territories for a long period of time. The Sultans are fascinating, not only have they defeated the Mongols but also went on to conquer the majority of India during the early 14th century. Sadly it’s quite underrated , I was hoping for you to create a video about it, no worries if you don’t, I don’t want to put any pressure on you!😊

[@robertmitchell8630]

Fall down nine times stand up ten The Islamic invasion of India is the bloodiest story in history Hindu women chose to walk into the Fire 🔥 rather than be captured and made into sxx slaves like saffyia javeria Maryam etc right hand possession The Sikh Guru tegh Bahadur chose to be tortured and die rather than take the shahada and be a shaytan worshipper Entire city of herat Afghanistan razed to the ground The library of taxillia burnt What's the end result ? Two hundred million Muslims under Hindu rule Unlike Christian Spain reconquest or recent Serb Orthodox Christian revenge on Bosnian Muslims He who holds power to extract revenge on the enemy but chose to forgive not only has he annihilated the enemy but imprisoned the God of the enemy Allah is a prisoner of war Looks like the Islamic world is self mutilating self destructing All the best

9:36 is this the origin of the term “Maghreb and Mashriq”? Thought I don’t know where the word “Maghreb” as we use it in English comes from, I know we use it today to refer to the land of the Amazigh. But I’m referring specifically in the context of dividing the traditional Muslim world into west (Maghreb) and east (Mashriq).

[@AlMuqaddimahYT]

Maghreb is usually used to refer to North-Western Africa. This divide of the viceroyalties didn't really do much. When we say the Islamic West, we usually refer to Maghreb, Sub-Saharan Africa and al-Andalus. Egypt and Libya are not within that definition.

[@umayyadball4126]

[@papazataklaattiranimam]

The arrival of the Turks in the Muslim world pushed Muslim power further into India. Of particular note is Mahmud of Ghazni (r. 997-1030), a Turkic sultan who was the first to lead military expeditions deep into India. By establishing himself as the leader of an autonomous state based in Ghazni in the Afghan highlands, he was close enough to India to focus much of his attention on the subcontinent. His seventeen military campaigns into northern India served as the basis of his rule, bringing wealth and power to him and his empire. While his raids were no doubt detrimental to local power and rule in India, he also established major cultural centers and helped spread Persian culture throughout his reign. The legendary Persian poet Firdawsi, who perhaps did more to revive ancient Persian culture than any other person after the country's conversion to Islam, and al-Biruni, a scientist, historian, geologist and physicist, were both mainstays of Mahmud's court. Because of his status as a patron of the arts coupled with his ruthless raids into India, Mahmud of Ghazni's legacy in India today is colored by modern politics as much as anyone else. Regardless of his legacy, Mahmud and the Ghaznavid Dynasty he founded laid the foundation for Muslim conquest in India. The succeeding dynasty, the Ghurids, also ruled out of Afghanistan, and managed to push their borders even further into India, capturing Delhi in 1192. The Ghurids relied on slave soldiers of Turkic origin who formed the core of their army, much like the contemporary Ayyubids further west in the Muslim world. Like their counterparts in Egypt, who established the Mamluk Sultanate, the slave soldiers in India eventually overthrew their masters and inaugurated their own dynasty: the Delhi Sultanate.
