Yathrib literally meant “Cursed.” Due to previous outbreaks of malaria and other diseases, people suspected that the city was cursed and referred to it as such. The Prophet ﷺ always changed names of places - and even people - who were unfairly or negatively labeled.

Many people seem to comment before watching. The video clearly explains the huge value of dominating Arabia due to its importance in trade, which is the most crucial aspect for any empire at that time. Saying it was a desert makes no sense. Rome tried hard to take it, and they simply couldn't do it for multiple factors, as explained in the video. Why are you clicking on historical videos if you're not interested in watching them and learning about history?
Its the internet, people take everything as a joke. The Rome were exhausted during the fight against the Persians, to the point that they just fled the Tabuk Ghazwah and stopped fighting with the Muslims empire.
The weather conditions and desert lands of this region and the difficult living conditions that existed inside these regions made it difficult for Rome, and only the native people of this region could easily live in these regions with their physical development and experience.

The Arabs in those days had one big virtue and that was banding together in the face of a foreign foe. They were tribal and at each other's throats most of the time, but when push came to shove they always came together. It is fascinating if you read about their history, they had a proper code of conduct, relations, and honor, despite all their vices.

One of the few who approched the status of the the King of Arabia before Islam, named "Kulaib ibn Rabiah", was assasinated over killing a woman's camel!! The woman named "Al-Bassus" chanted a poem inciting her tribe to save their honor, which resulted in a 40 years war known as the "Bassus war" !

Regarding the strength of the confronting armies, H. A. R. Gibb in the Encyclopaedia of Islam argues that, at best, both forces were made up of 10,000 men, and that the numbers offered in the Muslim sources are "highly exaggerated", especially as regards the Byzantines.[2] David Morray in the Oxford Companion to Military History, however, places both armies at approximately 20,000 strong.[3]

@@MM-tw7pu No, it is not so; The Arabs (Saudis)' belief in Islam and their pride in their race and tribes is different from the belief of any other Muslims. The Arabs (Saudi Arabia) defeated the two most powerful empires on earth, the Romans and the Persians, at the same time (at that time the Muslim fighters were only Arabs “Saudis”). Of course, no one was able to colonize the Arabs (Saudi Arabia) ever, neither before nor after Islam. But other Islamic countries were colonized before Islam by the Romans and Persians, and after Islam also by Britain, France, Spain and other countries.

"The arab Muslims were too well trained and too great in number..." this is not true. They were severely outnumbered and were inferior in equipment.

I couldn't care less for all of this baseless mythical information you read from Wikipedia. Just because a historical description of someone or something somewhere along the borders of middle east today is linked with the word "arab" that doesn't mean at all that they're the arabs that we know them of today. "Asia" was a word coined by the Greeks to describe modern day Anatolia and it's people but today we describe a population of 2 billion as Asians far from Anatolia. "ifrikiya" was a Roman Latin word to describe Carthaginians and look today how it represents Africa."Aithopians" was a Greek word to describe black people and today a country is founded on that name. The word literally means nothing to me and the connection to modern day arabs is insane because I'm pretty sure the word was used as a derogatory term to mean nomads and there is no arab genetics so they meant to call the king "the king of -nomads-" and those tribes picked up the word to today and named it themselves and since arabs in the medieval times were well known traders who gave Italy their pasta from China for example and you saying there was arab inscriptions since 3000BC, I find it hard that there is no mention of them in any other inscription of Roman or Egyptian or any other dynasty that mentions them "arab" even though they're well known traders... don't come at me with mythical sources of a made up religion that is a CTRL C + CTRL V Judaism.

This claim that Arabia was a "glaring blank space" (0:17) would be a lot more "glaring" if you showed Rome at its height, when it also possessed Mesopotamia. In this map, it doesn't look odd at all that Arabia was not part of Rome.
Diodorus Siculus Greek historian in 1st century BC, in Bibliotheca Historica (Book II, Chapter 48) provided a breif description about Arabs and their lifestyle: “They lead a nomadic life in the desert, living in tents, and subsist off their flocks, moving from one place to another, as necessity demands. They neither cultivate the land nor plant any fruit-bearing trees, but they drink the milk of their animals and eat the meat, and from their herds they get wool, hair, and skins to make their garments. They live free from any ruler and refuse to submit to any foreign domination, enjoying a life of freedom and independence.”

In reality the pre-Islamic Arabs did not live only in the Arabian peninsula. Not only were entire tribes and Arabic-speaking towns found deep inside the Graeco-Roman and Iranian empires, but large frontier zones were often governed, either partially or wholly, by Arab vassal dynasties. At the same time the 'superpowers' of Rome-Byzantium and Sassanian Iran dominated large parts of the Arabian peninsula, even including Yemen in the far south. Though there were towns throughout much of Arabia, these were few, scattered and generally small except in Yemen. However, given the Arab peoples' long involvement in the affairs of neighbouring empires, it is not surprising to find sophisticated Mediterranean and Iranian styles of architecture deep within Arabia. Some examples reflected strong links between Syrian Palmyra and central Arabia, between Jordanian Petra and western Arabia, and between the Kingdom of Hatra in northern Iraq with many parts of Arabia.
In the Eastern Egyptian desert too, then sometimes called Arab Desert. What you're describing is anyhow rather the late Roman Empire's ethno-geography. I'm unsure that the Ghassanids had already taken over the Syrian Dessert yet in the days of Augustus.

This is a region that has been talked about by many civilizations built on the sand and there is no need for forests, and the weather is full of clouds and rivers in order to build large civilizations and their traces exist until today, but this is an achievement when you build a civilization with a lack of water resources and sources. @@sashamoore9691

When you talk about Persia and rome, you mentioned a point that I liked, which is in contrast to Persia. rome took more time to weaken and die. Before the strike we developed to Persia. Our prophet Mohammed peace be upon him. Sent two messages to the roman and Persian. One to Chosroes the King of Persia carried by his messenger Abdullah bin Hudhafa As-Sahmi That reads as follows: “In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. This letter is from Muhammad (saw), the Messenger of God, to Chosroes, the Chief of Iran. Whoever submits to perfect guidance, and believes in Allah, and bears witness that Allah is One, and has no equal or partner, and that Muhammad (saw) is His Servant and Messenger, on him be peace. O King, under the command of God, I invite you to Islam. For I have been sent by God as His Messenger to all mankind, so that I may warn all living men and complete my Message for all unbelievers. Accept Islam and protect yourself from all afflictions. If you reject this invitation, then the sin of the denial of all your people will rest on your head”. And Chosroes respond to that was that he tore it apart. And when Mohammed knew about his doing. he prayed to god that he get torn all.torn. which happened to him.. his son killed him and his kingdom fell. he Prophet (saw) sent this letter to Heraclius, Emperor of the Byzantine Empire, carried by his messenger ‘Dihyah bin Khalifah Al-Kalb In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. From Muhammad, the slave of Allah and His Messenger, to Hercules, king of the Byzantines. Blessed are those who follow true guidance. I invite you to embrace Islam so that you may live in security. If you come within the fold of Islam, Allah will give you double reward, but in case you turn your back upon it, then the burden of the sins of all your people shall fall on your shoulders. Say (O Muhammad (saw): O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allah, and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: ‘Bear witness that we are Muslims’. And he read it and said. If he was truly the real prophet then I will follow him and so his kingdom continued longer. If city reject islam then they must fight or buy a toll. And we should not harm citizens or anyone that surrenders. If they chose to be Muslims then we have no right on them. Islam is not a way to conquest as you say. May that clear things up And I hope you start reading about islam and decide for yourself may allah guide you

Rome conquered Judea as it was rich in wheat, grapes and foods they wanted. The french and Italian wines are from Judah grapes transplanted there by the Romans.
The Levant was a vital link between the Greek areas in the north & Egypt. It had to be held, whatever the cost. Arabia was not so important, so long as the trade routes were open.
They tricked the Jews into supporting Roman rule at first because they presented themselves as rescuers to free them of the Greek-Persian Seleucid Empire (almost as evil as modern day Iran).
I will summarize the comments defending Rome's failure: 1- They didn't want to because it was a desert. 2- They didn't try hard. 3- The weather was either too hot or too cold. 4- Rome is legendary and invincible. How dare you mention its loss?
Wait until you see the Rashidun. It was short (40 years), but it was probably the most successful one until european colonialism, but european colonialism did far more atrocities and genocides.
The video is not about why the Romans did not occupy the Arabian Peninsula!! It is about why they "were unable to", meaning that despite the desert, they wanted to occupy the land but failed, which made us ourselves went to them and destroy them in their non-desert cold land 🤣
All parts of the Arabian peninsula that were worth conquering were, in fact, conquered. The Persians controlled all of the Persian Gulf, Oman, Yemen, and northeastern Arabia during antiquity. The Romans controlled Hijaz, the Sinai, the northwest, and all of the western coastal Arabia. Notice that these conquered coastal territories hosted the vast majority of the peninsula's population, due to their more suitable environments and strategic locations in regards to trade. The only parts of Arabia to never be conquered were the central desolate deserts that were laughable to even consider bother conquering before the discovery of oil.
Persian invasion of Yemen?? They did not literally invade them, but rather the ruler of Yemen (Saif) was fighting a war with his brother, so he sought help from the Persians in exchange for an admission that Yemen nominally belonged to the Persians, and the Romans had not reached the Hijaz.
Well-trained, yes, since equestrianism and knighthood date back thousands of years and occupy large sections of pre-Islamic Arabic poetry. But they were tribal and divided and fought each other. When Islam came, Mohammed unified the Arabs and demolished (temporarily) the tribal system. Even the way they prayed had a unification purpose, forming straight lines standing close to each other's shoulders when they prayed as equals.
Summary : Another amazing content by the creator The Roman Empire's failure to conquer Arabia was due to a combination of environmental, logistical, and military challenges: 1. Geography and Climate: The harsh desert, extreme heat, and lack of water made it difficult for Roman troops to sustain their campaigns. 2. Arab Resistance: The Arabs fiercely defended their territories, using their knowledge of the terrain and resilience to the environment to their advantage. 3. Logistical Failures: Roman invasions were plagued by diseases, poor navigation, and insufficient resources. Leaders like Gaius Gallus faced catastrophic losses due to these factors. 4. Economic and Strategic Missteps: Though Arabia was a valuable trade route, the Romans struggled to establish stable control over it. Their limited successes, like in Arabia Petraea, were often temporary or involved indirect control through client states. 5. Competing Priorities: The Romans were already stretched thin managing their vast empire and defending against threats like Germanic tribes and Persian forces. Expanding further into Arabia was deemed too costly and risky. Ultimately, the combination of these factors and the rise of the unified Arab Muslim forces in the 7th century cemented Rome's inability to dominate Arabia.
What I don't understand is why they went by land, when they could have just taken the corn of Africa to control the traffic... like today the French, US, and all the rest in Abidjan
Thanks for showing an interesting Historical fact. I think, the Muslim Arab Army defeated the Roman Army, not by nos., but by unity, secretive and sudden co - ordinated attacks. Mean, Guerilla warfare. Constant harassment by these Arabians ( preventing the Romans / Italians to know when or where, there Raids or Attacks will be ) made the mighty Romans only a Sheep. Anyway, Thanks GOD, the whole Arabia could defend itself against these cruel - cunning, crafty and powerful always colonising Romans.
The reason why Rome was able to conquer all those territories was that it had the advantage of raising empires.Before empires rise, all powerful states &civilizations in their neighborhoods decline. In Rome's time the Greeks, Egyptians &Carthaginians were all in decline. The rest of their neighbors were disunited tribes who lacked the organization &resources to tackle an empire.This remains the case untill the empire runs into other powerful socities or natural barriers.In Romes cases it was the parthians, desert in Arabia ,Africa &forests of Germany.

Many people seem to comment before watching. The video clearly explains the huge value of dominating Arabia due to its importance in trade, which is the most crucial aspect for any empire at that time. Saying it was a desert makes no sense. Rome tried hard to take it, and they simply couldn't do it for multiple factors, as explained in the video. Why are you clicking on historical videos if you're not interested in watching them and learning about history?
Because everyone only likes their version of history
Its the internet, people take everything as a joke.
The Rome were exhausted during the fight against the Persians, to the point that they just fled the Tabuk Ghazwah and stopped fighting with the Muslims empire.
Because white people and people forced to be taught their version of history glazes Rome for no reason.

Regarding the strength of the confronting armies, H. A. R.

"ifrikiya" was a Roman Latin word to describe Carthaginians and look today how it represents Africa."Aithopians" was a Greek word to describe black people and today a country is founded on that name. The word literally means nothing to me and the connection to modern day arabs is insane because I'm pretty sure the word was used as a derogatory term to mean nomads and there is no arab genetics so they meant to call the king "the king of -nomads-" and those tribes picked up the word to today and named it themselves and since arabs in the medieval times were well known traders who gave Italy their pasta from China for example and you saying there was arab inscriptions since 3000BC, I find it hard that there is no mention of them in any other inscription of Roman or Egyptian or any other dynasty that mentions them "arab" even though they're well known traders... don't come at me with mythical sources of a made up religion that is a CTRL C + CTRL V Judaism.

Diodorus Siculus Greek historian in 1st century BC, in Bibliotheca Historica (Book II, Chapter 48) provided a breif description about Arabs and their lifestyle:
“They lead a nomadic life in the desert, living in tents, and subsist off their flocks, moving from one place to another, as necessity demands. They neither cultivate the land nor plant any fruit-bearing trees, but they drink the milk of their animals and eat the meat, and from their herds they get wool, hair, and skins to make their garments. They live free from any ruler and refuse to submit to any foreign domination, enjoying a life of freedom and independence.”

In reality the pre-Islamic Arabs did not live only in the Arabian peninsula. Not only were entire tribes and Arabic-speaking towns found deep inside the Graeco-Roman and Iranian empires, but large frontier zones were often governed, either partially or wholly, by Arab vassal dynasties. At the same time the 'superpowers' of Rome-Byzantium and Sassanian Iran dominated large parts of the Arabian peninsula, even including Yemen in the far south. Though there were towns throughout much of Arabia, these were few, scattered and generally small except in Yemen. However, given the Arab peoples' long involvement in the affairs of neighbouring empires, it is not surprising to find sophisticated Mediterranean and Iranian styles of architecture deep within Arabia. Some examples reflected strong links between Syrian Palmyra and central Arabia, between Jordanian Petra and western Arabia, and between the Kingdom of Hatra in northern Iraq with many parts of Arabia.

When you talk about Persia and rome, you mentioned a point that I liked, which is in contrast to Persia. rome took more time to weaken and die. Before the strike we developed to Persia. Our prophet Mohammed peace be upon him. Sent two messages to the roman and Persian. One to Chosroes the King of Persia
carried by his messenger Abdullah bin Hudhafa As-Sahmi
That reads as follows:
“In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. This letter is from Muhammad (saw), the Messenger of God, to Chosroes, the Chief of Iran. Whoever submits to perfect guidance, and believes in Allah, and bears witness that Allah is One, and has no equal or partner, and that Muhammad (saw) is His Servant and Messenger, on him be peace. O King, under the command of God, I invite you to Islam. For I have been sent by God as His Messenger to all mankind, so that I may warn all living men and complete my Message for all unbelievers. Accept Islam and protect yourself from all afflictions. If you reject this invitation, then the sin of the denial of all your people will rest on your head”.
And Chosroes respond to that was that he tore it apart. And when Mohammed knew about his doing. he prayed to god that he get torn all.torn. which happened to him.. his son killed him and his kingdom fell.
he Prophet (saw) sent this letter to Heraclius, Emperor of the Byzantine Empire,
carried by his messenger ‘Dihyah bin Khalifah Al-Kalb
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. From Muhammad, the slave of Allah and His Messenger, to Hercules, king of the Byzantines. Blessed are those who follow true guidance. I invite you to embrace Islam so that you may live in security. If you come within the fold of Islam, Allah will give you double reward, but in case you turn your back upon it, then the burden of the sins of all your people shall fall on your shoulders. Say (O Muhammad (saw): O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allah, and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: ‘Bear witness that we are Muslims’. And he read it and said. If he was truly the real prophet then I will follow him and so his kingdom continued longer.
If city reject islam then they must fight or buy a toll. And we should not harm citizens or anyone that surrenders. If they chose to be Muslims then we have no right on them. Islam is not a way to conquest as you say.
May that clear things up
And I hope you start reading about islam and decide for yourself may allah guide you

1. Desert environment too harsh
2. No oil was discovered yet
And the Romans didn't have refinery either, so what they do with the oil, pump it in their horses ass
Because God was preparing the region for the Messenger Muhammad to purify the Arabic language from foreign languages that would have corrupted their eloquence, because simply the language is very important in Islam, and when the language was complete, God sent the Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, to the people so that they would follow the religion of truth.

Arabia was worth EVERY EFFORT and Rome wanted it. They just couldn't conqueror it. They saved it for last. They wanted Persia before taking Arabia. The reason Columbus went for his expedition to find India is because Rome and subsequent Europe rulers couldn't conqure Arabia. If Rome conqured Arabia, they could've proceeded to conquere Indian subcontinent, Eithopia and East Africa, and South East Asia. And Rome could be standing to date.

Plus, Jordan is basically part of the Levant and Arabia at the same time.

@@gamalar3619 not true, Gallus'expedition of 27BC with 10000 men defeated any force, but due to tough conditions mainly due to bad knowledge of the area which caused the legion to take 6 months to reach the capital and thus overextended the legion resources, ended up withdrawing. The return route to Alessandria took six days, that gives an idea of the logistical problem the legion had faced in reaching the capital.
The siege of the capital city of Marib only lasted one week then the legion run out of water, and decided to withdraw. 27 BCE was the only time the Roman legions marched to those locations, the destruction of the port of Eudaemon and the presence of the Roman fleet in the Red Sea made any other military expedition unnecessary.

- The Romans were very well equipped and the Arabs were poorly equipped
- The Arabs took out both superpowers, the Romans and the Persians at the same time.

2- They didn't try hard.
3- The weather was either too hot or too cold.
4- Rome is legendary and invincible. How dare you mention its loss?

Exactly 💯
The answer to title question starts at 12:00
Allah was defending Arabia from the Romans even since the lifetime of ‘Isa Alayhi Salam❤️
Reminds me of ongoing tussle for IMEC Corridor Strategy 😉
All parts of the Arabian peninsula that were worth conquering were, in fact, conquered. The Persians controlled all of the Persian Gulf, Oman, Yemen, and northeastern Arabia during antiquity. The Romans controlled Hijaz, the Sinai, the northwest, and all of the western coastal Arabia. Notice that these conquered coastal territories hosted the vast majority of the peninsula's population, due to their more suitable environments and strategic locations in regards to trade. The only parts of Arabia to never be conquered were the central desolate deserts that were laughable to even consider bother conquering before the discovery of oil.
Persian invasion of Yemen?? They did not literally invade them, but rather the ruler of Yemen
(Saif) was fighting a war with his brother, so he sought help from the Persians in exchange for an admission that Yemen nominally belonged to the Persians, and the Romans had not reached the Hijaz.

Well-trained, yes, since equestrianism and knighthood date back thousands of years and occupy large sections of pre-Islamic Arabic poetry. But they were tribal and divided and fought each other. When Islam came, Mohammed unified the Arabs and demolished (temporarily) the tribal system. Even the way they prayed had a unification purpose, forming straight lines standing close to each other's shoulders when they prayed as equals.
Summary :
Another amazing content by the creator
The Roman Empire's failure to conquer Arabia was due to a combination of environmental, logistical, and military challenges:
1. Geography and Climate: The harsh desert, extreme heat, and lack of water made it difficult for Roman troops to sustain their campaigns.
2. Arab Resistance: The Arabs fiercely defended their territories, using their knowledge of the terrain and resilience to the environment to their advantage.
3. Logistical Failures: Roman invasions were plagued by diseases, poor navigation, and insufficient resources. Leaders like Gaius Gallus faced catastrophic losses due to these factors.
4. Economic and Strategic Missteps: Though Arabia was a valuable trade route, the Romans struggled to establish stable control over it. Their limited successes, like in Arabia Petraea, were often temporary or involved indirect control through client states.
5. Competing Priorities: The Romans were already stretched thin managing their vast empire and defending against threats like Germanic tribes and Persian forces. Expanding further into Arabia was deemed too costly and risky.
Ultimately, the combination of these factors and the rise of the unified Arab Muslim forces in the 7th century cemented Rome's inability to dominate Arabia.
For people saying it was just a desert. You need to do some research as this was not the case back then, it was actually a fertile and rich land.
What I don't understand is why they went by land, when they could have just taken the corn of Africa to control the traffic... like today the French, US, and all the rest in Abidjan

Yes 100% felse.. Arabia couldn't support "great numbers" at that time
Notice that the Roman Empire always stopped at the desert. That’s the answer.
The answer is that they were defeated even the current super power would decline oneday
The reason why Rome was able to conquer all those territories was that it had the advantage of raising empires.Before empires rise, all powerful states &civilizations in their neighborhoods decline. In Rome's time the Greeks, Egyptians &Carthaginians were all in decline. The rest of their neighbors were disunited tribes who lacked the organization &resources to tackle an empire.This remains the case untill the empire runs into other powerful socities or natural barriers.In Romes cases it was the parthians, desert in Arabia ,Africa &forests of Germany.
