    It's a shame that a lot of the information about important women throughout history have either been erased, or modified to such a degree that it's hard to tell what's truth at times.
    You created a fantastic video as always my friend.

    Prophet Muhammad said that men and women are equals. But yet, those who descended from his uncle, Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib, ended up disregarding the Prophet's teachings about equality for the sake of politics. This is one of few things I dislike about the Abbasid Caliphate. The Caliphate doesn't listen to orders from women... much.

    Good video Mعtadid, I've enjoyed it pretty much, specially focusing on the women of the royal abbasid family, witch really give us an expression on women power on politics. It would also be interesting if you could make a part 2 of this video focusing on the cultural and scientific work of women in the Abbasid Empire. I don't know how much expression the ulama women did have on the Abbasid Empire, but I know that on the Almohad Empire there's a great expression of women not only on the corpus of the ulama but also on the classical sciences. I'll have to check if I've some papers in English to send to you. Thank you for the video sadiq.

  • @alexk7973
    @alexk7973 3 роки тому +47

    so interesting to hear that many Caliphs weren‘t married. In the West, historically non-marital offsprings would never have been considered as heirs, at least not once christianity was established. Also marriages were very important for political alliances. Why do you think the Caliphs didn‘t use marriage in a similar way?

    • @alexk7973
      @alexk7973 3 роки тому +23

      An interesting case in the West is that of Charlemagne, who didn‘t marry off any of his daughters, because he didn‘t want to be bound to any other family by such an alliance (and possibly because he didn‘t think there was any family that was high status enough?) but instead he gave them as good an education as was available in the time (they were at least as well educated as their brothers, if not better) and he was completely ok with them taking lovers. It was only after his death, that his sons and heirs decided it was unseemly for women from the family of the „Holy Roman Empire“ to have extra-marital relationships and stuck them into convents as nuns.

    • @AlMuqaddimahYT
      @AlMuqaddimahYT  3 роки тому +39

      Interesting question. Early Caliphs married for alliances. However, later with their own mercenary or slave armies, they didn't need to make alliances with their vassals so, they didn't marry. Ottomans had a similar pattern. They too married early on for alliances but later stopped it after developing their own forces including the Janissaries.

    • @AlMuqaddimahYT
      @AlMuqaddimahYT  3 роки тому +25

      Ah! I didn't know that about Charlemagne. Late Abbasid Caliphs just married off their daughters to bureaucrats or family members rather than sending them outside the family too.

    • @alexk7973
      @alexk7973 3 роки тому +5

      thank you! I guess it makes sense that once you have established yourself as the supreme power, you don‘t want to give any other family the opportunity to work themselves up the ladder and become a threat to you.
      I believe one reason why marriage was held absolutely essential in the West was the influence of the church as a political power. You can see many restriction especially regarding marriage and family life with the growing power of the church throughout the earlier middle ages. But if I‘m correct (and please correct me if I‘m not!) there was no such self-organized, -administered and independent organization as the Vatican with the Pope and the Church within the muslim world?

    • @AlMuqaddimahYT
      @AlMuqaddimahYT  3 роки тому +23

      Well, the Caliph was sort of supposed to be the head of Islam but he didn't exercise that and left it to various schools of thought. Some of which did have Vatican-like structures but yeah, Islam as a whole doesn't have that.

    I decided to subscribe to this channel today after reading the “channel description” and a video or two. I thought I probably couldn’t find a better way to learn more about the history of the world of Islam than by watching a channel with a description like this one. Keeping things secular makes it easier for people who might come from a different religious background like myself to just enjoy the wonderful history of the Muslim world. I’m willing to say UA-cam isn’t lacking in channels focused on Islamic teachings if it’s anything like the amount of Christian channels it’s a lot. Probably keeps some of the arguments at a minimum as well and we all can agree those comment sections with the least amount of arguments are the best 😊.

    Really great channel you’re building here. I echo lots of comments I’ve seen: this is a super refreshing Muslim/middle eastern history channel. As a non-religious person that loves history, I understand that you still have to love to learn about the world’s great religions in order to understand history. You emphasize the “history” part of “Muslim history”, rather than focus primarily on the “Muslim” part, which I appreciate. I’m here to learn about Muslim HISTORY, not Muslim religion per se.
    Anyway, it looks like you’ve covered pre-Islam Arabia, Muhammad, the early conquests, the Ummayyads and now the Abbasids. Looks like you’re working on the various splinter polities of the caliphate breakup, like al-Andalus, etc. Looking forward to seeing more. Hope you go in a somewhat chronological order from the abbasids. Cheers

      Gay and Straight didn't really exist in the same way as they do today. Having sex with people of the same gender was a sin, obviously, but it wasn't seen as a permanent piece of your identity. However, yeah, he did have a preference for male slaves.

      It's not historically incorrect. Just because an Empire or a figure is muslim does not mean that its going to be all happy and good. He clearly said that in early muslim history women were given a lot of privileges and enjoyed equal respect but during the Abbasid period this slowly deteriorated. This isnt false a lot of the social problem muslim women face now isn't due to religion but the legacy of social practices created by the Abbassids such as the Purdah, preventing women from working, preventing women from being educated and etc. Yes he is muslim but he is also an impartial historian. We as Muslims need to stop having a fairy tail illusion in our minds that all of Muslim history was great and happy.

      @@AR-bf7tm Lol, this IS incorrect as fuck. Purdah is a pré-islamic concept that exists not only in Arabia, but also in various outhers cultural and religious groups in the Middle East and India; and was not widely adopted or institutionalized in Abbasid era, but in the Mughal era, centuries after the colapse of the Abbasid Caliphate.
      I know that some muslim states had issues with womans liberties, in some later periods in 18th and 19th centuries, when this escalated greatly in Middle East and India, but again, this was not the rule in muslim world even in this time.
      I'm not a idealist that romanticized the past, i know that things were not good in muslim states all the time, but is a fact that in muslim states before the illuminist and colonial european times, the muslim world had mutch better quality of life not only for womans, but for all general population, even slaves, that the christian west had.

      @@claudiotavares9580 again I never said the Purdah was Islamic but that the Abbassid under Persian influence adopted the formal Harem construct and the Purdah System. Again I never said that Pre-Colonial Islamic society didn't have a higher standard of life than Colonial times, I agree with you. But that doesn't take away from the fact that the Abbasids deteriorated the rights of women that were established in the Rashidun and Umayyad caliphates throughout its time.

      @@AR-bf7tm You can prove with sources that the Abbasids deteriorated womans rights in muslim world? Because about the purdah, i never read nothing that stated this in any historical or academical source. In contrast, theres a lot of literary sources that stated how social descentralized was the abbasid interference in his citizens daily lifes; not only this, but also how some notorious nobles of the caliphate - including womans - have a higitely libertine lifestyle, some times even hedonistic, in direct conflict with the sharia.
