very interesting video. funny side story, it is said that Almu'tadhid married to the tulunids (i believe her name was abassah) on purpose to bankrupt them, as one of his court members tokd him that the tulunids would most likely spend so much money on preparing their daughter to give themselves prestige that they'd bankrupt themselves, while we can never know if it's true, it is still considered one if the most lavish weddings in history (if im not wrong a city was literally built where she first landed after leaving fustat, and after that multiple oasis like settlements got built for her too throughout the Egypt-iraq road)
These are actually some really interesting tales. I really doubt that bankruptcy would have been the reason for the marriage, there were a lot of other factors surrounding it and even a rather lavish costly wedding would be a drop in the bucket in comparison to the costs connected to maintaining the armies of the Tulunid emirate & I think those settlements would be built for trade reasons regardless due to improved relations to the Abbasids & thus new trade opportunities. Yet, the tales still point towards the importance of marriage as an institution in order to demonstrate & secure power and that there was (and still is in many cases) a lot of prestige connected to creating marriage alliances between powerful clans & that it was a perfect occasion to make a lot of other political decisions (like founding cities & settlements).
It appears that "Muhammad" was a title attributed to Jesus of Nazareth, and the Nestorian Christians held the belief in Jesus having two different natures, one human and one divine. The Quranic texts oppose the doctrine of the Trinity, suggesting the existence of a Nestorian sub-sect within Christianity that rejected the Trinity, acknowledged only Jesus' human nature, and regarded him as the ultimate prophet of God, the Word of God, who received the Gospel.
Though I do think that Islam evolved/was created as a religion by taking things from both Judaism and Christianity and taking its own spin on it, I think many of the earlier sources we have, quran fragments and inscriptions mentioning Mohammed as well as other near time sources from third parties (that mention Mohammed often as a sort of king of the Arabs), do present Mohammed as distinct from Jesus. I also rather suspect Arian (due to the monotheist and Jesus as a human focus) and tawaheedo (due to its orthopractical traditions being similar) christian influence on Islam than Nestorianism (which in many regards is the complete opposite with its diaphysite division and transphysis view where Jesus becomes God).
@Teller_of_Tarikh07 He leaves a lot of these comments (about revisionist theories and hypotheses regarding early Islam) on my videos regardless of the subject of my videos, but I let him as I am for free speech and it is better to discuss things than to keep people silent and it is furthermore close to most of the things I deal with historically (& with regards to religion).
@@theculturedjinni Yeah, that could be possible i personally find the Quranic corpus and the paradigm it presents very interesting and the mythology and theological claims very fascinating.
