  • Harun al-Rashid is, without a doubt, the most famous caliph. Even those who don’t know anything about Islamic history know the name of Harun al-Rashid. Most of what we think we know about him comes more from exotic imagination and the Arabian Nights than from actual history. Whenever someone talks about a good leader in the Islamic World, Harun is almost always one of the people they’re thinking about - a just and stern autocrat. Still, no one has ever been able to live up to that man, not even the real Harun.

      Sajid TEG don’t really like people doing some judgement on the largest caliphate on earth based on their 10 last years at most. Who was unislamic and racist. Muawiya. Muawiya 2, marwan, abd al malik, al walid, seuleiman, umar 2nd, hicham ? All of these are strong umayyad caliphs let alone the iberian ones. There few unjust rulers , but in whole the abbassids had far worst. Umayyads while ruling iberia alone could compete against the giant abbassids with borders stretched from china to Algeria.
      Umayyads were far better rulers and even based on viable sources, people liked Umayyads more than abbassids. Umayyads were masters of politics and art and war and architecture. They were far from racists and iberian ones are enough proof of that. Having berbers in main army and slavic enuchs as bodyguards and caliphs trusted men.
      People back then said in poetry..
      « If only the tyranny of Umayyads persisted, and the justice of the abbassids was thrown into the fire. »
      🏳️🏳️>🏴🏴
      And don’t get me started with family of the prophet massacre thing, because unless you’re a shia extremist. Even shia sources confirm that the Umayyads themselves had nothing to do with Hussain ( RA ) death, he was betrayed by the people who invited him. Compared to that , the abbassids were extremely harsh towards the Alids while Umayyads married from them. Umayyads were the bulk of the people who participated in Rachidun conquest and were excellent governors. Compared to them the abbassids had only abdullah ibn abbas as a famous scholar. Except the few early caliphs ( which most only lived on their few others works ) the rest were only « religious » and later « ceremonial » figures

    Learning about historical figures, while being explained the world they lived in for context, is my favourite way to learn about history!
    When I visited Cordoba in 2016 I bought two books about the "Al-Andalus Period" there. One about historical figures. One about battles and campains. Despite being the bigger book, I finished the book about historical figures in little over a week, never finished reading the book about battles and campains.

    On another note, I think you faced the same problem as many who tried to tell this story before, which was the lack of clarity and sources explaining certain events which is not an accident and was likely orchestrated by the ruling party (at the time) to paint them in the best picture possible. I just wonder if there are any sources that may speak of these events from outside the Arab world or maybe Alandalus ....

    There's a certain irony in the fact that the Barmakids, an Abbasid institution from the days of the Revolution itself, were undone right at the height of their ascent. The fall of the Barmakids does seem like a premonition of things to come - echoes of the execution of Al-Afshin, the rise of Bugha al-Kabir and his Turkic mamlukes, and eventually the Anarchy at Samarra can be felt.

      @ahmad arfaq, Imam Musa al Qazim (AS) is the 7th Imam of the majority of Shiite also known as the Isna Ashari, and the Direct Descendent of Rasoolallah, from Ali and his daughter Fatima.
      The Abbasids had fought the Ummayed with the rallying call of avenging the Massacre and Martyrdom of Imam Hussain in Karbala and giving back the Caliphate back to the progeny of Rasoolallah but once in power they themselves said that they were also the descendent's of Abbas the uncle of the Prophet Mohammad and so claimed the Caliphate for themselves and so the Abbassid dynasty. In order to deprive the family of the Prophet of Islam, they tried to destroy the love the people had for them and put them in prisons and had them killed. Harun like his predecessor's did the same to Imam Musa al Qazim and had him brought to Baghdad and later imprisoned him. Harun had him killed and his body was put on the Baghdad bridge and it was announced to the people that the the Shiite Imam was dead and any who doubted, could see the body on the Baghdad bridge. Imam Musa al Qazim was buried in Baghdad and the area wherein he is buried bacame known as Qazimain, in his honor. His father Imam Jafar e Sadiq, who was also martyed by Mansur is also beside him and their two Golden Domes proclaim that today Baghdad is known by these two holy tombs and no one talks about Harun na Rashid, unless when cursing him on jiyarah of Imam Jafar e Sadiq and Imam Musa al Qazim. Neither his palace has remained nor his good name,only to be remembered as a butcher and killer.
      What are these Arabian Nights fables you hear and feel great for these kings and dictators who will be of no help to you in this world and the hereafter.
      Do you even know where he is even buried???!!!!. I do but I will not divulge it because you people do not deserve to know. Ask those who make these video's based on the Shah namah or Book of Kings written by court writers to feed the big ego's of kings and not real history or Islamic history.
      If you or anybody is interested in Harun's burial place, let me know. That is another chapter of the Abbassid dynasty and their evil ways.

    أما الإمام أبو يوسف تلميذ الإمام أبي حنيفة فقد قرّبه هارون الرشيد وعيّنه قاضيا للقضاة، وحرص على التقرب منه والاستفادة من علمه الواسع، وكان يطلب إليه كتابة عدد من المؤلفات الشرعية التي تزيل الغموض واللبس، وتساعد رجال الإدارة العباسية في أعمالهم، وقد امتثل أبو يوسف للرشيد حين ألّف كتابه الشهير "الخراج"، وبيّن في مقدمة كتابه هذا أنه كتبه امتثالا لأمر أمير المؤمنين هارون الرشيد.
    تلك بعض من ملامح سيرة هارون وعصره، تلك الشخصية التي أجمع جل المؤرخين على أنه أعظم خلفاء بني العباس شأنا وذكاء وعبادة وقيادة، حتى قال فيه الطبري وابن العمراني وابن خلدون والعماد الحنبلي وغيرهم إن هارون "كان يصلّي في كلّ يوم مئة ركعة نافلة، وكان يغزو عاما ويحجّ عاما"[16]. وهو الخليفة الذي استطاع إخماد الثورات والمشكلات الداخلية التي كانت تهدد الدولة ووحدتها، وحرص على تعيين أمهر الرجال وأفضلهم في مواقعهم الإدارية والعسكرية، وواجه كل من حاول تقسيم الدولة بالخروج عليها كما فعل مع عدد من كبار العلويين، واشتهر عنه الورع والصبر على الطاعة،

    A lot of the things mentioned within this video are without proof & most-likely extremely inaccurate. The reason is because most of it comes from the 'One Thousand and One Nights' folk tales which shouldn't be used as historical evidence since historians don't even know when, where, or who wrote it. For instance, in the tales it states that Harun al-Rashid used to drink a lot of alcohol, which's something we have absolutely no proof of. Same with other accusations such as him owning concubines. I'm not denying these statements, what I'm saying is we should be careful when we speak about them to mention that these are just proof-less speculations which may be false.
