Third season of the Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the Early Muslim Expansion starts with the aftermath of the battles against the Sassanid and Eastern Roman empires at Yarmouk and al-Qadisiyyah ( • Early Muslim Expansion... ) and battles of Ctesiphon, Alexandria, Nikiou, Jerusalem, Sufetula, Heliopolis, and Nahavand ( • Early Muslim Expansion... ). We are going to cover the aftermath of the beginning of the First Fitna (Civil War) in the Rashidun Caliphate ( • First Muslim Civil War... ) and the battle of Siffin of 657, which led to the rise of the Umayyad Caliphate ( • Battle of Siffin 657 -... ). External expansion continued with the siege of Constantinople in 674-678, but this didn't stop the Second Fitna from happening, leading to the battles of Karbala (680) and Marj Rahit (684)

Please make a video on the battle of haldighati. Pls
@@husseinb9688 they did check their channel
@@TIME12308 thank you i will
All these videos are awesome as always. Still waiting for the American Civil War series though :)
Can you make a video about the “Shapur II's Arab campaign”
“Expanding just as fast as the caliphate is our sponsor Raid Shadow Legends” 💀💀
Haha facts
Lol, imagine what raid shadow legends will look like thirty years from now 😂
lmao
wonder what the civil wars will be like
Yes 😀
This series is great. This part of history is never covered by content creators
What i like about him he tells you the story from islamic and western perspective at the same time
Imagine going to war for the first time and dying because of your stupid general.
I agree. I followed another Islamic history channel but they seemed hesitant to speak of past wars and glory. But it’s such a rich history that should be celebrated. As all past empires celebrate their own expansions
@@lordzeus6166 💯
To call this series great is an understatement.
The Ummayad Caliphate feels a lot like the late Roman Republic. Full of incredible conquests, that not even constant civil wars can spoil.
Like the Republic the Umayyad Dynasty was the most powerful state of its time with the most money
Umayyads didnt conquer any major power though, E.Rome, Khazaria, Tang China, Bulgaria, Frankia all schooled them for good only Visigoths were conquered during civil war
@@ChevyChase301 "while conquering China" ah yes losing all confrontations against them qualifies as conquering ok
@@kyokosenpai5713 Sassanids were conquered by Rashiduns not Umayyads lol the former obviously had a great military record no doubt about that while the latter couldnt even conquer Dabuyids, a spit of the Sassanids
@@nenenindonu Aren't you forgetting the Persian Empire?
Mu’awiya once said “by Allah, it’s easier to move the firm mountains than to follow abu bakr and umar”. The rashidun took the caliphate as a responsibility rather than an honor to them. They ruled with piety and justness that later empires failed to match.
In their reign you could see unarmored soldiers trampling two empires because of unity and fighting for one cause and not wealth and equipment. It’s impossible for any empire to match the rashidun caliphate because they firmly believed in Islam and followed the prophet’s footsteps.
Isn't he same guy who killed Ali abn'aby talb prophets cousin and his grandsons?
@@aesrenjoseph496 mu’awiya was never involved in the killing of any of them. As for Ali, ali was killed by a kharijite (khawarij are those who left Ali’s army). As for hassan source mention that he was poisoned by his wife. As for husayn he was killed during yazid’s reign.
@@aesrenjoseph496 he was killed by the forces loyal to his son Yazid. Muawiya was dead by this point. Sunnis and Shias both hate yazid for what he did to Hussein (ra)
It's the same story with all empires. The founders and initial movers of that empire had a solid foundation based upon faith and then through hard work they become successful and resilient . The generations that proceed this do not have the same motivations and fortitude.
General john glubb wrote a Paper about this called 'the fate of empires' it's a good read if anyone is interested. It's a possible explanation but I wouldn't say it's the explanation (just one of the best ones I've come across).
@@Mohamed-hv2zo
Don't forget that Muawiyah is one of Prophet Muhammad companions
this is easily my favourite series this channel has done.
Check flashpoint history channel if you want a MASSIVE cover on this period of the History (rise of Muslims and later the “reconquista”).
@@joaosousa1167 tq man 😍
quality wise, yes. the ottoman one is also good. but the napolean one just made me fall in love the guy. he is in a league of his own. unfortuntely, they didn't complete the series. can somebody point me to a complete series on napolean by a good youtuber, that's worth watching
Epic history tv is good,he has a complete napoleonic wars series and it has quality
This era has always fascinated me. The upturning of antiquity and the rise of new empires above the ruins of others amidst incredible cultural changes both sudden and gradual.
Keep up the great work!

@@saada.3747 Thank you, Sa’ad. Very cool.
Its insane how fast the Arabs exploded onto the geopolitical scene. 50 years separate the tiny battle of Badr and the first seige of Constantinople. Half a century to unite Arabia, conquer the Roman east, Mesopotamia, half of North Africa and wipe out the Sassanid state, all while adapting new government structures and learning adminsitration, military infastructure, and naval war. Its an insane feat to accomplish.
There’s even a veteran of Badr who died in the siege of Constantinople
@@MohamedMohamed-ws7mq what a legend that man must have seen some crazy shit in his life
@@geordiejones5618 his name is Abu ayub al ansari one of the first medinan Muslims who welcomed the prophet and the Muslim immigrants when they fled. His basically like a disciple of Jesus
It was the first time Arabs united in history. Christian and Jewish Arab clans joined the campaign under the Omayyads
Which make it even more baffling on why their empire collapse and never recover, paving the way for the Turks. Arabs have all indication that they quickly adopt an effective centralized goverment but Ummayad Cordoba and Abbasid would collapse because of their military from minority but highly experienced soldier. Cordoba even more so as the Al-Andalus military has been consistenly taught as largelt ineffective and relied on Berber from Almoravid and Alnohads to survive.
Roman meanwhile have civil war and rebellion daily but it would take Kantakouzenos civil war before Roman reduced to only Constantinople and a few outlying region
Our recent video is talking about the Early Septimite Expansion: ua-cam.com/video/yr2HOPT6UfM/v-deo.html
Just out of curiosity (and because I'm a TES geek) are documentary series about other descendants of Tiber Septim planned? Pelagius III and Potema Wolf Queen are my favourite🐺🙏🏽
Nobody wants to watch that
@@albhagdadi8812 Wrong.
@@ProvidenceNL your wrong
In my opinion, the Byzantines set the standard for what an economic empire really should look like, glorifying their naval and army prowess in battle, but also keeping one of the largest and most prominent trade routes in history in a stranglehold, and yet, they still mostly kept the peace with European traders.
The british probrably copied that.
The Merchant Republic of Venice also was able to leverage their power through trade and navy. With a fraction of the land that the Byzantines had and less secure capital.
@@keisean11 Very true. Venice dominated Mediterranean trade for most of its autonomous existence, and, while the Ottomans certainly did play a large role in driving the incentives of the beginning of the age of exploration, Venice was arguably more influential in the motives behind it.
You are a european aren't you ?
@@juzores1 Greenlandic. Well, Danish, but I live in Greenland, so technically, yes.
I do not have a huge ego over being European, if that's what you're getting at.
What happened to Husayn was a bit more complicated than explained here, as while he was marching towards Kufa news reached him that the support he had was not as previously described. A complicated topic but rather well approached here, +/- a few nuances
Such a sad story
Thanks for making this series! It's making me more even more interested in early Islamic history. Keep up the good works K&G!
Thank you for the deep dive into our early history. It is rare to see neutral and accurate takes on these events since every faction has its own version.
Another great video!
Love this series with a passion! It would be really cool to see it progress into the Umayyad conquest of Spain and the subsequent Reconquista!
Like always, it is packed with information and such. But it is painful as hell, in my opinion, to watch one of the greatest civilizations, that had been around since like forever basically turn in on itself, and retrograde like that, And fight itself to death, in a slow, painful fashion at that. Great job like always.
@@mufaddal2152 isn't he talking about the byzantines?
@@Local_idiot-u8h huh? the video is about the Caliphate the dude who wrote the comment must have been confused because the byzantines remained there while the caliphate was the one killing itself from the inside
What an awesome series! Certainly the best of its kind I've been yet, and akin to something History Channel might have aspired to back when they still did legitimate programming.⚔🙏👍
I wish this video did a little bit more to discuss the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali and his family as it's not just an important moment for Shia's but for ALL Muslims alike and is a day that's venerated by Sunnis as well. Ignoring the religious aspect of it there's important historical aspects as well. The Abbasids whose birth comes from one of the many revolts as a result of this martyrdom also used the death of Husayn to solidify their control over their new kingdom by having claimed that they were the avengers of Husayn.
I agree brother , Kings & Generals need to make a separate video of why Husayn ibn Ali (as) started a revolution against a tyrant like Yazid ibn Muawiya.
It's too risky, they do that and they're going to spend years fighting off the comments section which will be colonised by Dudebros who want to argue their own sectarian point.
Obviously this channel is not about religion. I am sure you can find plenty of "discussions" on the topic.
Moreover, it will be interesting for a small minority of the subscribers...
@@gregpeterson3144 Maybe you missed the part of my comment which talks about the historical importance of the event and how it will 100% relate to the coming Kings and General series on the Abbasids, but you're right I guess this entire Islamic series that they're doing is only interesting to a small minority of their subscribers. Idiot.
@@Dir3ctH3X lol
Very minor thing to add:
Some mislabeled characters: yazid is labeled as muhammad in arabic while besieger of mecca is not called حسين but rather حصين.
Also it seems you skipped the very breif rule of muawiyah II (son of yazid). Had he lived long enough, the tides of war would have changed since he wasn't exactly like his fellow umayyads.
Early Byzantine Arab wars are greatly overlooked, battles like akronoin and Carthage are very interesting
yea its a shame, I wish it were covered more.
Congratulations!!! Another perfect video as always...
Islam is fake
It's weird seeing maps of the Byzantine Empire without most of Greece.
Well that’s a exaggeration that the Slavic invasions in proper Greece where responsible for loss of control but the truth is that most of the cities where under imperial control with their Roman ( Greek ) population protected
They might not have full control of Greece during this time, but they still control Rome and Constantinople, which is pretty poggers
for a good 200/300 years the romans lost control of greece to either the slav tribes or the bulgars, wasnt til really the early 900s that they begun again to properly regain control of greece and macedonia proper, i.e when the caliphate was more or less collapsing/collapsed
@@JellyProductions99 Well no see the siege of Patras by the Slavic tribes in 805 , the cities where firmly under Roman control . The countryside and especially the mountains where filled with small but warlike Slavic tribes which where gradually hellenized
@@nikostombris5505 never meant to imply that they lost entire control of greece (or whats considered modern greece) apologies for that, but you just reiterate my point. Slavic tribes able to penetrate as far south as patras? Shows nothing but lack of control as you say in another comment :) pretty sure some slavic tribes managed to make it to the 1000s/1100s without being hellenised or converted! the romans didnt see them as a threat to Constantinople or thessaloniki (even tho they tried however many times) so left them be for long periods of time, only coming over to fight them when the arabs were preoccupied :)
Great video. Just a side thought:
Learning to read and write arabic is really fun. The calligraphy is beautiful and fun to doodle around with and plus you can approximate English sounds with arabic letters pretty well. Arabic letters are a kind of Art.
Maybe the level of detail it has is why it was chosen!
I presume the next episode in this series is going to be the rebellion of mukthar al Thaqafi and the battle of khazir, that’s going to be a sick battle (resurgence of an Iranian element in the region)
He was pretty much the first Avenger, Captain America was only a rip off! :D
Mukhtar al thaqafi was a total chad.
I have a lot of admiration for Mukhtar
In his life, he had been a bit of a thug and gangster. Very rough around the edges.
But when Imam Husayn was killed, he channeled his knack for fighting and organizing men to fight to raise a powerful and vengeful army to punish Husayn's killers.
Mukhtar is a lesson to us all. It doesn't matter who you were or what you did in life. It's never too late to turn a page and what truly matters is what you do before you die.
Abdullah ibn zubair was also the grandson of first chaliph Abu bakr.
Wonderful unbiased history is amazing and you did a good balanced job.
7:24 Must really be a Hellenic tradition to smash things… even on the heads of Pyrrhus and Constans.
Hahaha
A fascinating topic, too little discussed! What would I know without your channel ??? I am asking for more about ANCIENT EGYPT ⚠️⚠️⚠️
indeed there is not enough ancient Egypt here! Regards AS!
@Mehmed Islyamov I recommend my video from Hattusa😏
As a person who has studied muslim history, this was so brief that it was like summing up history of rome between 60 BC to 30 BC in 10 minutes
@Mehmed Islyamov Thank you!!!
@Mehmed Islyamov channel not canal, canal refers to things like the suez canal
You should’ve mentioned the grisly details of how Ubaydallah’s army treated Husayn and his family’s bodies at Karbala. They were all beheaded and their corpses trampled by Ubaydallah’s horses.
Who in their right mind would murder the grandson of the man who founded your religion?
Muslims have no value for Yazid and his army
Well,Ubaydallah was a bad man.
But there are many different reports varying on how they were treated after the 'battle'.
They were all bad regardless,but some more merciful than others.
PROPHET MOHAMMAD SAW DID NOT ESTABLISH OUR RELIGION, IT WAS ESTABLISHED BY ALLAH. PROPHER MOH'D IS ONLY A MESSENGER TO SPREAD THE RELIGION OF ALLAH. ISLAM EXISTED SINCE ADAM, SO IT WAS NOT FOUNDED BY PROPHET MOHAMMAD S.A.W
Let's not talk of Karbala here. It's a very complicated thing and if you want to know what actually happened, check it from an Islamic scholar. I would recommend moulana Tariq Jameel or Dr Yasir qadhi.
From whom? A biased Sunni guy who rather defend Ubaydallah and Yazid over criticised the excessive brutality Ali's family suffered?

Ramadan Mubarak to my Muslim brothers and sisters.
A little historical anecdote : when prophet muhammad pbuh first arrived in madinah (during the hijrah journey from mekah), he lived at abu ayub al ansari's house for a couple of months until he decided to buy a plot of land, built his mosque , with an adjacent house for him and his wife, aisyah pbuh
The funny thing is that at first, Marwan wanted to hand over the caliphate to Abdullah Al-Zubayr, but Abu Obaidullah stopped him, and in the end, Marwan became the only caliph.
His son became the only caliph
I will never break and get raid shadow legends! Stay strong!
Husayn didn't have an army, he was going to kufa with 140 of his family and friends (including 5 year olds)
And his 6 month old son 😪
Because the shias of kufah wrote letters inviting him to come and then abandoned him
@@fogshadow9112 let’s see what your own sources say. From the Shia book al-Ihtijaj Imam Zayn al-Abidin says while addressing the people of Kufah:
“O people! I ask you in the name of Allah. Don’t you know that you were the ones who wrote letters to my father inviting him, and you are the ones who deceived him, whereas you had given him your word and promise and pledged allegiance to him. Then you fought against him and forsook him. May you be destroyed! What have you earned for yourselves and how evil was your view.
He mentioned furtheron: What a pity, what a pity, O treacherous and deceitful people!”
@@fogshadow9112 I’m not sure what that’s got to do with that I said. There were different groups in kufa, and it was the shias who wrote Hussain tons of letters inviting him to come but when he got surrounded at Karbala the help they promised him was nowhere to be seen.
@@fogshadow9112 so you think Imam Zayn al-Abidin who you believe is “infallible” blamed them unfairly? Ok.
For my life, the battle of Rahit had kept -------------------------------------------- Huge rift between us and Marwan
Never was anything hateful seen of me before this ---------------------------- The flight of mine and my leaving my two companions behind me
While I was in that evening running in the hills and do not see ----------- From people except those who against me and not with me
Does one single day, if I have spoiled it ---------------------------------------------- Dispel the goodness of my days and the merit of my deeds?
The pasture land might spring up on the ruins of the earth -------------- And still , Souls' hatred remains as it was
Show me my weapon, I don't care ----------------------------------------------------- I see the war is only getting too far
Said Zufar Ibn Alharith, the leader of the Qaisi confederation After the batlle of Merj Rahit
لَعَمْرِي لقد أَبْقَتْ وَقِـيعَةُ راهِـطٍ
لِمَرْوانَ صَدْعاً بَيْنَنَا مُـتَـشـائِيا
فلَمْ تَر مِنِّي نَـبْـوَةٌ قَـبْـلَ هـذِه
فِرارِي وتَرْكِي صاحِبَـيَّ ورَائِيا
عَشِيَّةَ أَجْرِي في الصَّعِيدِ ولا أَرَى
مِن النَّاسِ إِلاَّ مَنْ عَلَـيَّ ولا لِـيا
أَيَذْهَـبُ يومٌ واحِـدٌ إِنْ أَسَـأَتُـهُ
بصالِحِ أَعْمالِي وحُـسْـنِ بَـلائِيا
وقَدْ يَنْبُتُ المَرْعَى على دِمَنِ الثَّرَى
وتَبْقَى حزَازاتُ النُّفُوس كما هِـيا
أَرينِي سِلاحِي لا أَبالَـك إِنَّـنِـي
أَرَى الحَرْبَ لا تَزْدادُ إِلاَّ تَمـادِيا
As for Yazid,he was really a very incompetent ruler despite gaining his experience fighting in anatolia.
He was a man full of insecurities stemming from the fact that a number of the Prophet's companions refused to Giver their Alliegance to him,despite some of them actually choosing to do so.
Muawiyah wanted to give his son the Caliphate under the fear that the people of the Levant (Damascus especially) wouldn't accept a leader from outside the Umayyads,as they grew accustomed to them flourishing in their forty year rule under Muawiyah.
He was harsher with those who refused to give bay'ah in comparison with his father,sending men to both Ali and Abdullah Ibn Zubayr.
When dealing with Hussain's rebellion,He didn't follow the Rebellions updates as he should've,and in that in the End resulted In Hussains death.
Something that he wanted to avoid despite his rebellion.
During the Talks between Ubaydallah and Hussain,he was initially proposed to go to the Yazid,either to hold a border area in his name or allowed a return to Mecca,or to just pledge alliegance,which he reluctantly accepted after a while.
The problem was that Ubaydallah grew overconfident and heeded the advice of Shimr ibn Dhi'l Jawshan,who advised him to force Hussain Into submission under his personal authority,resulting in the breakdown of talks and Hussain's death.
Well that is partly true, but you Muawiyah was also a powerhungry theif. He broke his teaty with Ali and his sons multiple times. Even if some sunni muslims like to suger coat it, Muawiyah was a political genius but not a religious one. He killed and slaughtered, not in the name of islam but his own gains. I find it quite interesting how Ali and his sons are just the polar opposite of the ummayyed rulers. Let us not forget how the ummayeds was the tribe that fought Muhammed. Many theories that the Uthman, Muawiyeh, yazid conflict against Ali was just revenge against he prophet Muahmmed because he took power form them, 60 years earlier.
@@jafaral-badri8005
You're quite evidently a Shia.
This 'conspiracy' idea doesn't exist anywhere but in Shia histories which are quite unreliable.
Uthman was one of the first to enter Islam,and he made the two hijras (the one to Abyssinia and the other to Medina) and married two of the Prophet's daughters and contributed heavily to the Muslim expansion,and in their stay at medina.
While the conversion of Muawiyah and his father came late,It was still authentic and Abu Sufyan really gave the rest of his life for Islam,he would marry his daughter to the prophet,let Muawiyah become a writer of the Quran under Muhammad and help in the conquests of the levant.
Many reports record the prophet asking Allah to guide Muawiyah.
Muawiyah refused to give Bay'ah to Ali because some of the people who participated in Uthman's murder were in Ali's army,he wanted them either executed immediately or delivered to him.
Upon Ali's refusal,the fitna between them started,Ali refused because he needed to consolidate his power as a Caliph before making such moves,and that time they had a notable presence in his army and their immediate execution would hurt his position,as well as the identity of Uthmans killers were unclear.
In the view of Ahlu'l sunnah,they were both great men.
Ali being Far greater than Muawiyah,as he was the prophets cousin and followed him from early on fighting on his behalf.
We also believe that Ali had the right of it during the fitna,and despite muawiyah's error he was still a good man,as the prophet prophesied of Hassan's fate during his life,saying that he would reconcile between two great Parts of the Ummah.
@@azizbey4334 you are looking at it from a sunni respective again. Muawiyeh executed multiple supporter of Ali, companion which were Muslim. And the people who died in siffin, who is responsible for them. In Islam, when two people have a conflict, one is wrong and the other is in the right, especially in wars. So who is responsible for the deaths in siffin? Ali or muawiyeh. And don’t tell me “no one” that is so ridiculous and against what the prophet and Quran taught. Accept it, muawiyeh was politically smart but in no way religiously correct. More of a drinker of wine and enjoyer of worldly desires, polar opposite of Ali.
@@jafaral-badri8005
You Lie against Muawiyah,he was never a drinker of wine.
And I already told you that Ali was right,but that doesn't allow you to slander demonise a companion of the prophet.
The sunni's follow a more reliable criteria when recording past events and hadiths,and it is more true to reality,we don't see it as a pure good vs pure evil where we show one side as the embodiment of the devil and the other the quite opposite like it's a kids story,such as the Shia who greatly demonise the Umayyads or Abbasids or anyone else,we belive that the companions have their rights and wrongs.
And there's another matter,who was right in the fitna doesn't mean the blood of all the combatants that died is on the other,for they all had their judgements (Ali and Muawiyah) when they started the war and they both knew the consequences,they will both be judged by Allah on the day of judgement on what happened in this period,in the end this is a fitna,the outcome would be bad whatever happened,as many companions and believers would die because of it.
There was a reason many of the companions abstained and never fought in the conflict.
Muawiyah didn't execute people for their mere support of Ali,instead he actually accepted many who were previously under Ali's banner into his own.
And held both Hassan and Hussain in high regard in his 20 year reign,and when he committed acts frowned upon by the Islamic society he owned up to his mistakes,such as the execution of Hijr and some of his Companions,he continuously attacked his Governors in Iraq.
Many different companions spoke of Muawiyah's piety.
And if I'm looking at it from a sunni perspective,then you're looking at it from a Shia one.
@@azizbey4334 alright keep lying to yourself. It’s always “our story is more correct”. On which criteria? Your not talking about a historical conflict, this was a religious one. Yes, it’s true, there is no right or wrong when it comes to HISTORY but not religion. It’s funny how in your books you say Ali r.a taught muawiyeh r.a. How is even possible that two people that are companions and therefor good be part of a battle which killed thousands but still not stand for consequences.
Than yes, literally in this video that you just watched, they mentioned how muawiyeh killed a companion of Ali just because of his support of Ali. Your not lying to anyone but yourself.
Just like Allah said, the evidence is infront of them but they are still blind.

Constantinople finally conquested at yr 1453 but 8 centuries before muslims already attempted to besiege it to no avail off course. But what surprise me s that early muslims already tried it, just 42 years after the death of Prophet Muhammad PBUH
True shows Islam is a religion of war not peace.
As a Muslim this is one of the time periods that I'm going back to when I lay my hands on a time machine.

The islamic accounts point towards the Kufans (predecessors of the shia group) to ultimately be responsible for Husayn’s death.
Muwabiya was a pious man. But Choosing his son as caliph was inappropriate.
Then perhaps killing the prophet’s descendants to justify the legitimacy of outsiders claiming to be the rightful caliph was a terrible idea, wasn’t it?

@@embreis2257 That’s interesting but not necessarily true. Religion has been used as a tool of power but it is also a legitimate source of belief. Rulers throughout history have believed and sacrificed much of their property, power or stature for the sake of religion. For example, the prostration of Henry II for Thomas Beckett’s murder, the Crusader Prince’s donation of property to the Church before entering the First Crusade and lots of other examples.
Constans II didnt so much kick the bucket.... he was bludgeoned by it.
Marwan was just in his route to Mecca to congratulate and pledge his loyalty to Abdullah bin Zubayr but Ubaidallah bin Ziad and as a loyal figure to the Umayyads clan urged him to forget about pledging to Ibn Zubayr and declare himself the new caliph and rally support for himself in the Levant as the Umayyads supporters were in there
@Tawrad
I’m not talking about the father, I’m talking about the son, Ubaidallah ibn Ziyad
@Tawrad ibn ziyad was always an ummayad supporter and had no choice because he would have been executed if ibn zubayr was undisputed.
His father ziyad bin abhi was first in the Ali camp but after the assassination he joined muawiya
@Tawrad just do basic research like Wikipedia stop confusing ibn ziyad with his father
7:25, death by bucket, what a way to go.

Any time anyone mentions Alexandretta I immediately go into a Sean Connery accent and say "Alexandretta, of course!!"
Kinda funny that Umayyads obsessed with conquering Constantinople to bring down the whole Eastern Roman Empire but Ottomans only conquered it when the empire already just a city state by slowly take one province after another.
Oh woe is you Emperor Mezezius The Handsome, chosen for his good looks and slain by the sword for future kings and generals amusement.
Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job ...
The Umayyad Caliphate was probably the greatest of empires that didnt even last a single century... good thing their legacy lived on in the Iberian Peninsula
The things is, you think of it as a short lived empire, but considering the arab tribal connections, its like the Byzantine empire. Yes there are different dynasties and then individual emperors but it's the same thing. Mohammad, ali and abbasids come from the same family, uthman and umayyads come from the same family and Umayyad rule was two different dynasties in itself, sons of Muawiya and sons of hakam
@@Mitthradata Comparing the Arab Caliphates to the Eastern Roman empire is by no means an accurate view of history the fact that all 3 caliphates originated from the same Quraish tribe doesnt make them a single political entity let alone state, its a wrong approach...
@@nenenindonu this comparison is not wrong in the sense that we call it the roman empire no matter the rulers. What is so different between the rule of mansur and alsaffah with the rule of ibn hakam or ibn marwan?
@@burnadze Umayyad did both. Great heritage in all aspects of life and an expansion no Islamic country have ever reached.
@@burnadze The Umayyad Mosque for example
That feeling when you can't take advantage of your enemy's infighting because you too are dealing with infighting.
if mean about byzantine then it's not only infighting happen around this period they also need to deal with the Bulgar and Slavic Invasion.
Great video thanks 👍
Excellent as usual👍🏿 Keep it up😉
Hi there please keep it up there are points that I don’t fully agree to for I read the Quran/Furqan/Musaf and the Hadith’s but none the less excellent pls keep it coming .May Allah’s/Gods Blessing be on you all.
can we see the Mukhtar al-Thaqafi revolution
The start of Yazid was a great controversy is Islam. Because one of the things that make the Caliphate great was that the Caliph was elected not the son of the current sultan. Howe ver this was not brought back
a lot of mistake you used Shia source.
Please till us your source for “fitnah” and this video.
He didn't use any shia sources , this sources are the same as the sunna sources , even us sunnis consider yazid as a bad man and we also must consider muawyah as a wrongdoer for opposing ali r.a
Need long video as start of this series
👏👏

إلى محبين الشعر منكم اقرؤوا شعر زفر بن الحارث عن وقعة مرج راهط
أريني سلاحي لا أبالكِ إننّي
أرى الحربَ لا تزدادُ إلاّ تمادَيا
أتانيَ عَن مروان بالغَيب أنّه
مقيدٌ دَمي أو قاطعٌ من لسانيا
ففي العيس مَنَجاةٌ وفي الأرض مَهربٌ
إذا نحنُ رفّعنا لَهُنَّ بلقائيا
فَقد يَنبُتُ المَرعى على دَمِن الثّرى
وتَبقَى حزازات النُّفوس كما هيا
أتذهَبُ كَلبُ لم تَنَلها رِماحُنا
وتُتركُ قَتلَى راهطٍ وهيَ ما هِيا
لعَمري لقد أبقَت وقيعةُ راهطٍ
لَحِسّان صَدعاً بَيّنا متنائيا
أبعدَ ابن عمروٍ وابن معنٍ تتابعا
ومقتَلِ هَمّامٍ أُمَنّي المانَيا
فلم تُرَ مِنّي نَبوةٌ قَبلَ هذه
فِراري وتركي صاحبيَّ ورائيا
عَشيّة أَعدو بالقِرانِ فلا أرى
مِن الناسِ إلا مَن عَلَيّ ولا ليا
أيَذهَبُ يومٌ واحدٌ إن أسَأتُهُ
بصالح أيامي وحُسنِ بَلائيا
فلا صُلحَ حتى تَنحِطَ الخيلُ بالقنا
وتثأرَ مِن نِسوَان كلب نسائيا
وصف رهيب
Increatable tyyy
The tribes of Qais did not withdraw until after their banner was cut off by Banu Aqil, and 15,000 of Qais died at the banners.
Incredible work
Great Video.
That's a lot of what ifs in just one episode , what if the greeks never invented greek fire sips?
What if husayn won ?
What if marwan lost in syria ?
Husayn R.A could not have won. It was prophised during Prophet Muhammad Sallah Alaih Wasalm's time that Muslims would form factions/fiqahs and if he did, then this would not happen. Shias and Sunnis were two of those fiqahs that eventually divided into more.
Also in terms of practicality, that would create a fixed ruling class, making democracy a completely foreign concept in Islam. But due to that war and that outcome, we can say democracy is favored, as the hereditary kingdom of the Ummayads was also overthrown. It means anyone can be the leader of a Muslim country no matter what their family background or race or ethnicity.
@@jhonshephard921 Since when Islam was a democracy ? From the Umayyads till the Ottomans, it was always more or less hereditary. Even if Hussain succeeded, there would be factions because that is just human nature. Umayyads never forgot the murder of Uthman so, unless Hussain had wiped out the whole Umayyad clan, factions would eventually happen in the imaginary scenario. You don't need prophecies to determine that lol
@@jamieammar6131False. There is an election for a caliph. Umayyads and Ottomans aren’t good examples of Islam.
@@raymontana-pl1vc Aside from the Rashiduns, were there ever any Caliphate elections in Islamic history ? Then what the heck are you talking about man lol
Raid shadow legends is straight up everywhere
They support the creation of the videos via paying them to promote the game, then the channel used the payment to research and development.
Almost half way through playlist
Please make a video on the battle of haldighati. Pls.
Kindly make video on Bappa Rawal, Sikh 10 Gurus, Maharaja Ranjit Singh , from India
Make them yourself engineer
General Iqbal Singh Singha ain't having the same spirit as those in Saragarhi, who forced the brave and willing Filipino soldiers to give way to terrorists.
He ain't Havildar Singh, he is a pussy on the Sikh lions.
Thank you Kings and Generals Team
Real credit to Marwan I you have to give credit to him for being able to rebound after a severe loss and of course more credit is given to his son the victor of the Civil War Caliph Abd Al Malik I
9:33 Sassanid PEROZ III: Chinese Tengri Khan's Tang Dynasty is ahead, everybody!!
Great viddd
I can't wait to see the role Mukhtar plays
man, life's tough for a byzantine fan
What game or mod did you use to make this video? I love the design and graphics
Candy Crush Saga: Byzatium
Go to the "first expansion in Africa" vid in the same "early Muslim conquests" series and you'll find a comment by Malay Archer, the person animating the series where he says what Attila mods he used.
In islamic theres an event when muawiyah send a letter to rkman emperor. States that if emperor try to take advantages from the fitna, he will lay down his weapon for alj and join ali to crush him...
Nice vid
Love this series
16:26 🥺💔
The location of the city of Amorion is wrong. This city is located to the west of the city of Ancyra.
The previous Arabs won Syria and Persia by attacking the so called 'irrelevant countryside' and forcing the Roman and Persia to engage Arabs in open battle and get defeated.
Now under Ummayad they focus on Constantinople while Anatolia is still firmly under Roman hands and the Arabs fail to take Constantinople.
Byzantine Empire? No one called that even during the Medieval times. Everyone called them Romans, they are the Eastern Roman Empire.
You prefer the term " Empire of the Greeks s?" Cause that the term used by Germans, ( Holy Roman Empire) !English, Russian, Bulgarians, Serbs,French ,Norma sif Italy and some Times from Arabs during Mediavall times
@@eliaspapanikolaou3563 it's closer and more accurate than byzantine empire
@@eliteecho9383 maybe you are corrected after all
@@eliaspapanikolaou3563 the russians bulgarians and serbs did not call them greeks
@@eliaspapanikolaou3563 corrected in what way?
Great thanks
Umayyads were close to be extinguished totally around Damascus??? Marwan is truly a wicked man... Poor Ibn Zubayr... RadiyAllahu anh.
Please make a video about Muhammad bin Qasim and Qutayba bin Muslim
look how quick they started fight each other , even killing own muslim brother , love for power wealth increases and they are more focused on that thaan focusing on teaching the islam properly , loving each other
Although Arabs had an internal fighting from the beginning, they managed despite all of this to defeat the Romans and the Persians. It was the first time in history Arabs inited regardless of history
Ahhhhhhh lesssgoooo
