Why did the Umayyad Caliphate Collapse?

[@odenat3701]

Actually the end of the video is wrong. The last heir of the Umayyads run away, he took control of Iberia and became caliph of Al-Andalus.

[@TruthSeeker8834]

No,, Abd-al-Rahman I became Emir of "Emirate of Cordoba". Abd-al-Rahman III is the one became caliph

Wrong he became the Amir of Cordoba not the caliph because the only caliph is "the Abbasid caliph abi alabas The butsher"

​@@ElectronFieldPulse This video is very much worthless as they put a lot of emphasis on the unethicality of Muawiya. Within Islamic history, there are the Shia sources who extremely exaggerate the corruption of Muawiya and all other companions of the prophet peace be upon them all. To give you such examples, Shias claim historic accuracy of the following: - Omar burned down Fatimah's home. - Omar broke into Fatimah's home with brute force, making the door's nail shoot out toward Fatimah's pregnant belly, breaking her ribs, and causing her miscarriage. - Omar forced Ali to allow him to rape one of Ali's daughters. - Omar dragged Ali through on the dirt to force Ali's allegiance. All of Omar's presumable actions happened under the watchful eye of the very same Ali, the revered all-powerful Shia character. They claim the above (AND MANY MORE) without proof. They convert hearsay, hardly even a rumor, to facts. They have no chain of narrations, nor biographies of the person delivering these information, no proof. Now imagine taking your information for a historic video you are about to create from the very same people of make historic accuracy of the above mentioned incidents...

The people didn’t like being forced to forget everything from before when they converted to Islam. It’s also ironic as historically, Muhammad’s family was treated unfairly. Ali and Fatimah as well as Husain and Hassan and the rest of the family were all treated unfairly and you can see that is the case for generations.

[@khaledhuds1420]

It was a mix of both honestly The thing is, if you go for strict democracy then the ignorance of the masses will rule, but since Rashidun Caliphs were pious, they would suggest someone to replace them in case something happens to them, who will then be approved or disapproved by the general public, it simply never happened that he was disapproved of And as seen in this video, people who seek power assassinated Ali who was elected as Caliph and got a hold of the Caliphate Had this mode of power transition remained, then the world would have looked vastly different, and the Islamic world would have been unified under one leadership. That's why many Muslims wish for the caliphate to be brought back in that sense, as it gave more power to the people, true Caliphate is what you can call a smart democracy

Genealogy of Banu Umayyah Abd Shams and Amr (Hashim) were the twin sons of Abd Manaf, the ruler of Makkah. Manaf belonged to the Quraish tribe and was a descendant of Hazrat Ibrahim bin Hazrat Ismail. Abd Shams was a self-centered and enterprising man while Amr was a public figure and was called Hashim because of his generosity. Hashim became the Chief of Makkah after the death of his father Manaf. Hashim lived long and after his death Mutlib younger brother of Hashim took over because Shiba son of Hashim was too young to shoulder the responsibilities as Chief. Later, Mutlib handedover the charge of chief of Kaaba to Shiba who is known as Abd Muttalib. Abd Shams had no children and he bought and adopted a slave child Umayyah. Umayyah's son Sukhar kept a stray woman Fakhta in his house and from her Harb (Abu Sufyan) and Umm Jameel were born. Umm Jameel. was married to Al-Uzza (Abu Lahab) and both of them were condenmed by Allah in Surah Lahab due to their hostility towards Prophet Muhammad (SW). As such, the genealogy of Umayyads is connected with the slave Umayya who remained the enemy of Hashem and this enimety continued in his descendant. Umayyads were called descendants of a Slave on three occasions: 1- On the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, the Holy Prophet said to Abu Sufyan and his followers, "Go away you the descendant of a freed slave, I have forgiven you. 2- In the letter written to Muawiya, Mawla Ali (ES) wrote, "Descendant of a freed slave how can you compare yourself with the emigrants?" (Nahj al-Balagha: Letters to Muawiyah) 3- In Yazid's court, Bibi Zainab(SE) addressing him said, "O child of a freed slave, how dare you tallk to us

"The Caliphate was extremely tolerant with other faiths!" ...cough...jizyah tax...cough...

[@Masitu0031]

Tolerant COMPARED to their contemporary. Take, say, 19th century Russian Empire with Kosher Tax, and (occasionally) conscriptions, plus pogroms.

[@samiman5606]

The umayyad caliphate even forced jizya on Muslims native berbers

[@tnrz5696]

Maybe they are tolerant for other faiths with same race but we are pretty sure that they weren't tolerant with the non-Arab Muslims

[@Masitu0031]

They didn't really care about your religious they just wanted a reason to tax you...some became Muslims but they still taxed them

The fact: in every second he said that a huge number of soldier was christian😂❤ Bro in sasanid era The christians of iran was heavily forced to became zoroaster or didn't spread their religion and the one of the causes of these moves was that christian populations in iran hasbeen assmilated so why u said many of the soldier of abbasids were christian Then why u instead did not said they were zoroasters? or THEY WERE NON-ARAB MUSLIMS WHO WERE IRANIANS THAT CONVERTED TO ISLAM?

Far west was Portugal.... 8:22 Portugal is the oldest country in europe. Why talk spain if Portugal is older?

[@ahmedmuayad2013]

Probably because Cordoba the most prominent city in Al-Andalus was in Spain and not Portugal and it held more Importance.

Why u don't mentioned zoroastrians that were in iran?

@@Mohammed-jf2sp You don't need to prove that you are an Arab by saying nonsense.

[@Mohammed-jf2sp]

@@PatriotOfPersia I don’t blame you hating for Arabs, they overthrew your empire, which you are proud of, but the real stupidity is what the world sees every year, the Iranians beating themselves with chains and crying because of the death of a person 1400 years ago.
