Great video. Loved it. I just want to know the Arabic version of Ibn Rushd quote that you put at the end "ignorance leads to fear, fear leads to hate, and hate leads to violence. this is the equation".. it's original source from Arabic.
السلام علیکم Man, what a great video. The editing, voice, content and narration is insane. You deserve more views!!!!! Dont stop making these videos, enrich in knowledge. You have our support. May Allah grant you success in this life and the afterlife. Ameen
Duuuuuuuuuuude! gotta salute your dedication. This is exeptional. The extensive research, hard work, and hours you put in, is truly commendable. Learned so much. Thank you for this! Please don't ever stop educating us! :3
Thanksss 😃. Deviating from the standard practice here at almostwise, you won’t have to wait another 6 months for part 2. Dropping next friday inshallah 👊🏼😃
It was a lot to take in in one sitting, I'll have to watch it again to absorb more :) BTW 'learned' as a synonym for 'knowledgeable' (e.g. 'my learned colleague') is pronounced with two syllables, i.e. lern-id (rhymes with 'hid') - you'll sometimes see it written in old texts as 'learnèd' - forgive the pedantry, you write more elegantly than I ever will but this minor error snagged my ear while enjoying your dulcet delivery :)
Hey! I'm generally part of the silent majority but I have to say, videos like these are what makes youtube amazing so thank you for your work and dedication! (I assume this video took forever) It's hard to believe you have so few subscribers and because of it this video probably won't get the attention it deserves so I want make it clear (because I want you to continue making these) that your efforts are very much appreciated, many people like me who usually don't comment feel the same and that those two hours really flew by (it's so well paced). I'll definitely recommend your channel to anyone even vaguely interested in the topic, it's an amazing introduction! And thank you for giving references! Also sorry if anyone already asked you but do you have a university background on the topic or are you simply curious about it?
Hey! Thanks a lot for taking the time out and commenting. Getting one of these once in a while makes it all worth it. Sometimes I wonder why do I spend months reading and researching for these videos which would perhaps forever remain obscure under the rubble of mass consumed media here on youtube.

And when kind people like yourself take the time out to express that it indeed matters in some capacity then it is all the more lovely. Thanks
@@almostwise Assalamualiakum Arkam! I'm commenting here without watching your video, because I'm still giving a second go to Al-muqadimmah's. However, I've saved your's for later. This video of yours (topic/concept) is truly a rarity. I rarely comment on videos and subscribe to few channels but I've done both of these for your channel without watching any of your videos (yet).

Sorry I can't comment on the video's content yet but topic/concept of your video is truly one of a kind; and if it's worth any motivation, I whole-heartedly support you and encourage you to keep this thing going strong. May Allah give you more success, aameen. 😇🤗
@@Eddy-Cool hey that’s a new for me. A subscriber who is so thorough and generous in his comment without even watching my content. It’s a good feeling to have such an experience so thank you for the comment 😀 If you track the history of my channel you would know that I am indeed extremely lazy too 🙂 I need more hedayat to work on the channel more.
Reality is a lot more complicated than that. Summery of Islam: Islam have deep roots from Creed schools to Jurisprudence schools to Sufi schools (beneficence). to be a proper Muslim you have to follow one of each school and basically that's the main stream Islam. They are sects ofc that don't recognize these, like the famous Salafism who follow only a specific Creed school mainly and recognize the rest as heretics, for Jurisprudence they either interpret alone or see what majority of schools agree upon but they condemn following one school , and for Sufism they considered them all heretics.
It is nice to be acquainted with the Qadari and Mu'tazila schools of thought. I believe if these schools had continued their activities, it's quite certain the Arabic world would have been sophisticated for centuries to come. However, Mu'tazilas were too harsh for creationists who are dogmatic. It is the biggest mistake when the righteous use force to convert others to their ideas. Iran is suffering today from the same mistake. When you are right, you must be calm because you are right; you can be a great non-violent hākim. After the Mu'tazila movement, all other philosophers became extinct from the public arena, which is why figures like Al-Razi or Ibn-i Sina didn't have a significant impact on the public. I believe this is where the Arabic Golden Age became a court of intellectuals. If intellectuals don't have a meaningful connection with the public, their effectiveness diminishes. In contrast, Western intellectuals were connected with the public, and their works were published and read by random people, providing strength to intellectual ideas to flourish in there.
either your voice is naturally that deep or there's something wrong with the sound. Because it doesn't compliment the background music and is a bit difficult to listen to. I'm sorry if this is coming off as ungrateful it's just that i believe such an important topic demands good production. Keep up the good work !!
Yes bro, there was something with the sound being not as melodic or clear. Maybe it was the deepness. I am only saying this as constructive feedback as audio is really the beef of any video. Other than that, you could also add subtitles. They literally increase the comprehension of the video, and this can be applied to your older videos as well.. No doubt, this video is gold of knowledge.
I do consider this type of rhetorical in the meant time of conjecture regards to twists of Battle of Badr instead Battle of Uhud for angel descending. It is Islamophobic and the fact of which are found in the Hadith and saying of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), it is mockery. There’s no question as to where what Prophet Muhammad (SAW) has ordered and told in the hadith, it has no apologetic-able responses. So for example, mentioned ‘laughable’ regards to incident of war in battle of Badr and Uhud twistingly. By understandably, there’s double standard.
The Brethren of Purity were not a Sufi order; instead, they were Ismaili. Despite Al-Ghazali initially making takfir on Ibn Sina and Ismaili, he was influenced by both. Towards the end of his life, Al-Ghazali appeared to align with many of Ibn Sina's teachings. Scholars like Marshall Hodgson and Farouk Mitha argue that Al-Ghazali adopted a version of talim influenced by the Ismaili doctrine.
Yes they were most likely Ismaili. Some attribute the epistles towards Ibn al haitham and some towards Jafar al sadiq. In addition to being called ismailis, many scholars however do put them into other categories as well, such as sufis, nusayris and even mutazillites. The section on the brethren in the video is heavily condensed, I had written and recorded quite a lot more than what made it into the video. If I get a chance I will probably upload the different sections in totality. There is almost one hour of content which did not make the cut. The same goes for the section of Ibn Sina. I briefly went over the sufi Ghazali situation just to emphasize on, what you mentioned as a matter of fact. Thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciated.
That’s a lie and a false accusation, the proof of Islam Alghazali never had any “Ismaili” usool or point of views, and about Ibn sina two early sources say that he repented from some his blasphemous sayings like the knowledge of God and such, even one source say he became a Sunni Asha’ari in before his death!. Ibn sina himself wasn’t an Ismaili but his father was. he was a philosopher with his own views and he was a Hanafi in fiqh, and it’s known by him that he respect the first two caliphs.
@@Al-Azdi Ghazali was influenced by the 'Ismaili talim' doctrine and incorporated 'Ismaili Neoplatonic' ideas into the cosmology section of the Mishkat.
@@Al-Azdi I didn't mention two caliphs, and I didn't assert that Ibn Sina was Ismaili. However, he faced discrimination due to his father's publicly known affiliation with Ismaili. Perhaps he practiced taqiya. There are compelling reasons for this. From the start, he had more enemies, more vocal than his friends. Poets cursed him, theologians attempted to refute him, labeling him heretical. People branded him an infidel. Thirdly, Ibn Sina didn't modify anything in his work; his work contains nothing blasphemous.
@@almostwise They had nothing to do with Itizal, as they where known proponents of Jabr(compulsion) and the eternity of beings besides Allah. They didnt believe in the promise and the threath nor the intermediate position. So there is no basis in categorizing them in Itizal. Also there is a book that we have in our hands today of the Mutazili imam Ibn Al Malahimi called " Tuḥfat al-mutakallimīn fī l-radd ʿalā l-falāsifa" , wherein he attacks the philosophers and Ibn Sina.
Salah Al-din Al-Safadi the close pupil of Ibn tayimiah was on Ibn hazm creed which is a tanzihi creed close to the Asha’ari creed. He even Saw Ibn tayimiah in his dream after the latter death, and told him my creed is in this book(one of Ibn hazm books) and gave it to Ibn tayimiah, then said: He read the contents of the book and the creed and didn’t say anything as if he was agreeing with it!.
@@Al-Azdi Salah al Din al Safadi was an Ashari despite being one of Ibn Taymiyah’s students unlike his other students like Ibn Kathir and al-Mizzi. Plus, Ibn taymiyah’s creed shall be taken from his books and well known students not anyone.

I wonder if someone like Malcolm X would fit into the second half of this video. I assume not, since you did include some non-Muslim figures in this video and there is a difference between "the Muslim world" and Muslims themselves.
The focus was on Philosophers or philoso-theologians specifically. Tbh, I was skeptical that people would watch hours of this. I edited out sections on Jamaluddin Afghani and Muhammad Abdul. 😂
