The GREEK MUSLIM who gave up $100M FORTUNE to fight the SOVIETS in Afghanistan

- Carlos Mavroleon, born into a Greek shipping empire, had an upbringing steeped in affluence. Despite the privilege, a feeling of emptiness led him on an extraordinary journey.
At 16, he left his luxurious life, traveling extensively and immersing himself in the Pashtun tribe's culture in Pakistan.
When he came back, he pursued education at Harvard University and built a successful career as a Wall Street broker.
However, the pull of the East was strong, and in 1985, he abandoned his prosperous life to join the Afghan Mujahedeen in their battle against the Soviets.
In Afghanistan, Carlos converted to Islam and adopted the name Karimullah. He rose through the Mujahedeen ranks, transitioning from political work to active combat and eventually commanding a 12-man unit.
Once the Soviets withdrew, he started working as a war correspondent. He then traveled to various war-torn countries, documenting the struggles and becoming a legend among war correspondents.
His life abruptly ended in 1998 in a hotel room under mysterious circumstances.
Carlos Mavroleon's life, from an heir of a multimillion-dollar fortune to a Mujahedeen commander, is a tale of sacrifice and transformation.

Masha Allah. I am also a Greek revert into Islam. I couldnt believe this story for I myself was traveling through Pakistan and the Gilgit area in 1984 but not to fight instead doing soul searching and at times joining certain tableegh jamaats. Some of the best memories of my life.
MashAllah, As a Turkish, Im glad to see muslim Greek brothers such as Carlos, you and Cat Stevens.
...please, NO, not tableeghi Jamaat . They are misfits of society .
May Allah protect you but I advise against such jamaats they’re full of shirk and biddah!

This should made into a movie. What an amazing true story
movies haram, thats why i love this guy's documentaries, no music, no too much non hijabis..., time saved too!
they only make movies on afghan traitors \ interpreters lol .. its a dark mega machine we are dealing with
@@Dost so the movie "the message" is haram?
They make theire own movies like star wars , 9eleven, terminator, pearl harbour and so on.. but this is the truth inshaAllah
@@HassanAliLondon😂😂😂😂😂😂
There is a hadith in which the prophet ( Saas ) describes a man who goes out for jihad for the sake of Allah with all his wealth and his soul and he never returns with either of them. His deed is unparallel to any other deed. I hope Carlos was one of those people. Amen
Right. Aamiin yaa rabbal aalamiin
AMEEN

Ameen!

Fun fact: Carlos wearing beard looks more like a Pashtun than any foreigner. There is an interesting aspect to this fact. Historically speaking, the areas surroundeding modern day Central Asia, Afghanistan & Pakistan particularly the Pahstun belt was part of Greco-Bactrian & Indo-Greek kingdoms which were formed post Alexander's conquests. Many of those Greek populace gradually assimilated into the local culture. That's why there many different shades of Pashtuns from East to West, from looking Iranic to looking Greek to looking Indian.
True. But even before that, there is the Indo-Iranian-European connection as evident through the similarity of Indo-European languages as well as genetic studies.
@@BinuJasim Agree but the more recent the migration of an ethnic group is, the lasting will be its impact on genetics like that of ancient Iranian farmers & hunter gatherers with the more recent one.
The Kalash people now residing in Pakistan & Afghanistan are literally the descendants of Alexander's army&the Bactrian women. If Hollywood wanted to produce Cleopatra movie they should cast actors from Kalash people to play Cleopatra & her Ptolemaic family.
In the Oera Linda Book, which is probably the oldest Dutch book in existence is the history of settlement up the Indus River before the time of Alexander the Great. It records there was some trouble on the east side so all the people moved to the western side. When Alexander the Great did arrive in that area he used their ships to transport his army. I believe the people of Nuristan (in Afghanistan) and Dir (across the border in Pakistan) are their descendents. I have also seen 'Viking style' graves in this area of Pakistan which look very out of place.
I'm Greek as well... nearly everyone says the same about me.
I met Carlos briefly when he was at Harvard College. He told me he had lived in Pakistan and spoke Pushto. He set up a business with a partner while at Harvard called Nemeto Blast. The partner was Jay Itzkowitz.
He later dated Fawn Hall, who was a secretary to Oliver North.
I never met him after he left Harvard but read about his passing many years later.
Ma Sha Allah as always fantastic story. May Allah grant Carlos janatul Firdaus🤲

This channel is gold. Always something new to learn. Allah Bless.
What a remarkable story! I never heard this before and never been brings up by mainstream media! All Muslim should learn from this man, left his “dunya” for better akhirat .. what an incredible story of a wealthy convert Muslim man ❤
He was a drug addict, a thief and a womanizer. What exactly is there to be learnt from?
As a greek reverted woman, i am so very proud of this amazing brother and compatriot. May Allah grand him Jannah! ❤🤲🏼
May Allah honour him in Dunya and on the Day of Judgement ❤ Bie idnillah 🤲🏽
Ameen
@@jaza457x8👈 Surely during that time of his death Soviet’s had a hand in his murder .
Masha’Allah. Shukran for this. I will look more into my brother life.

Ma shaa ALLAH. May allah granted highest jannah ❤❤❤
Thank you brother omar for always bringing us those amazing stories
Fascinating, as a 40yo English man of Bengali origin, I'm surprised I've never heard of him!
May Allah have Mercy on Carlos/Karimullah, what a man. I can understand why the 'West' do not want to promote him, Rich, Brave, smart, handsome, well connected and a practicing Muslim.
Are you half English, half Bengali?
"English man of bengali origin" paradoxical statement. I think you mean british, you can never be english you shîțsķin
May Allah Bestow Junat Firdous to him InshAllah what a Legend
May Allah SWT forgive Brother Carlos and grant him Jannah
His tales reminds me of the companion, Mush'ab ibn Umair, who leaves luxury and chose Islam.
Another amazing story.
Such an underrated channel, I'm sure it will continue to grow and grow inshallah.
Insha Allah! Thank you brother 🙏

Amazing story of this mujahid. May Allah bless his soul. And there is also the story of the Saudi scion of the business family whose personal wealth was around 300M $ and he also made his life in Afghanistan to liberate it from the Soviets and then fought the Americans. He is the one who can't be named.

The brotherhood of Islam is more powerful than any other connection, we thank ALLAH SWT that we are Muslims.

Most beautiful vlog I have ever seen
May Allah have mercy on our brother Carlos/Karimullah and forgive for his shortcomings. Anyone who says the shahadah, he has hope to one day enter the garden! Fatiha!
Mashallah a very nice video..

Small correction: Miran Shah is close to peshawar and on the western border not at the border with India.
Love your channel
What a story and what a brave intelligent man a good dedicated Muslim.
What a glorious and fortunate man, may Allah swt bless him on the day of judgement benevolently. Ameen

Thanks bro, new subscriber here
Masha Allah this boost our emaan...
MashAllah, what a great man be was, may Allah has Mercy on him and grant him jannat ul firdos
Lmao he looks like a typical Pashtun
Love the video. One thing needs amending though. The map showing him going from peshawar to miran shah is wrong. Miran shah is south West of peshawar, whereas your map seems to show him heading south east.
ALLAHUAKBAR what a Man MAy Allah grant us such a big Life ameen
May Allah grant him good place in Jannah.
Amin ya rabbal alamin
Young man. Also research Tipu Sultan, the last Muslim ruler of Mysore, India, who fought the invading British to the bitter end.
Long Live Afghanistan!!!
No
amen afghanistan zindabad
Legend Karimullah!
MaashaaAllah what a great man!
7:09 Bro just a correction: Miran Shah is located on western part of Pakistan bordering Afghanistan in Waziristan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.
Yea that was my mistake bad. Idk how I missed that 🥲
@@OmaroftheOrient No issues bro. Stay blessed. 😇
Your UA-cam is growing subhanallah

You've written something which I've read. So who do you think he was.
Pls tell the story of Eduardo Anelli the son of the richest Italian family who converted to Shia Islam and had very similar stories as Carlos
MashaAllah! Wow!!
Amazing story by a amazing orater
That looks like my uncle from Afghanistan 😂😂
What an absolute MAN. Wow.
Great stuff, Just a correction of your video at 7:07 the animation shows the person going away from the Afghan / Pakistan boarder to India Pakistan border, it makes no sense.
Yea I accidentally showed the wrong location. My bad 😑
should make movie on this story
Allah swt accept this brother, elevate his status in Jannah & forgive us all of our short comings. ameen x
Wow what a story, Mashallah
Al Fateehah

Mashallah bro, that was an amazing video.
Are you Muslim ?
Subhanallah!
May his soul rest in peace.
❤
did you get the map wrong at 7:14? miran shah is south east of peshawar near afghanistan, not directly south and west near india.
Yea, it was a mistake. Wrong Miran Shah 😑
Bro can you talk about Jalaluddin khwarazm shah
Following the footsteps of Musab Bin umayer RA
No one knows how he died.found needles in his hotellrom. Smells Uncle Sams from far
Yep, uncle Sam it is without a doubt. Since Pakistani secret intelligence agency works on the behest of the USA, it was not difficult to do that.
When the call of Allah Ta'ala comes, true followers run towards it without any demands or conditions. These wars destroyed us, which we had nothing to do with, for 50 years, all the countries of the world have been fighting within us, which has never happened before in the world, neither in World War I nor in World War II. But thankfully, our existence still remains and what was approved by God is also approved by us. May Allah reward every mujahid who sacrificed in the way of Allah with the intention of helping us. Verily, Allah is the Rewarder, the Knower. May Allah have mercy on the true followers of Islam and my poor and weak Afghanistan and make us infinitely gracious and infinitely powerful. Masha Allah you also make good informative videos
Masha Allah
Subhanallah
