Great video as always Al-Muqadimmah!I personally think it's a shame that Islamic history like Al-Andalus isn't taught as much as other parts of Islamic history but simply focus on the Jahiliyyah-Birth of Islam-Rashidun-Umayyad-Abbasid-Ottoman narrative of Islamic hiatory history
As far as I'm aware, this was due to the belief that the Arabics are the superior people as that would mean they're the descendants of the chosen people after the pervasion of Islam especially when compared to the darker skinned which may signify they aren't of Abrahmaic descent
Great vid, love the unbiased tones in it I had no idea that Berber Arab tensions continued into the Corduba emirate era, nor did I know they were this high to the point of massacres
Spanish New Converters: Now that we are Muslims we are equals just like the prophet "peace be upon him" said, right? Ummayds: Well yes, but actually No
Brother can you do one on the assassins at the time of the crusaders because I normally play a game called assassins creed and I wanna see how this secret order evolved during that time please👍
"Various members of the Umayyad dynasty, like the Emir's uncle, Hisham ibn Abd al-Rahman, led small bands of loyalists to fight off their enemies." In this statement, you regard the Emir's Uncle as Hisham ibn Abd al-Rehman, (It make me complicated). Hisham ibn Abd al-Rehman is the son of Abdul Rehman(1) you mentioned in the previous episode. So that, Hisham ibn Abd al-Rehman could not be his Uncle, he must be his great grandfather of the Emir. (Could you please clarify the actual facts?)
Hey al muqqiidamah sorry if I spelled your name wrong. Nice awesome video keep up the amazing work I just want to ask can the next video be on the Ottoman Empire and can you talk about the third and fourth sultans of the Ottoman Empire Murad I and Bayezid I please al muqqidamh anyways again nice awesome video have an amazing day peace.
You got this completely wrong 2:13 to 2:30, it is the other way around Jizya is less than Zakah, which means more Muslims more taxes for the Umayyad Caliphate. I would like you to read about the difference between Jizya & Zakah, As far as I know, Jizya paid by non-Muslims males who can afford to pay it (not the women, not the old and not the kids ...etc) basically, it is paid by the men who can fight and can afford to pay it. the value was not fixed but historically (as far as I know) Jizya was always less than Zakah. While Zakah must be paid by all Muslims who can afford it, (men, women, old men), the value of Zakah is 2.5% yearly (it has more complicated rules like if you have grains or sheeps or whatever you have to give zakah for all these things too, but for the sake of argument I'm talking about only money).
theres differences of how many percentage of zakat or jizya should be payed among sect and school of jurisprudence within islam, theoritically on paper it may sounds good but in practices these dynasties can tax their subjects very differently from what you have believe.
one of the reasons why umayyads got overthown by the abbasids was because they implemented racist tax to non arab, even if they're muslim to cover up and possibly slowdown mass convertion to islam by conquered people because they only want to avoid jizya, in this case lower jizya means lower revenue.
"No no, not so much. Jizya's goal was never really to replace zakat per se. Zakat is charitable giving to the poor, a 2.5% tithe on a Muslim's yearly income which is intended for the less fortunate in society. A wealthier Muslim can also create a waqf (pious endowment); this could be something like building a mosque, or establish a business to which all of the profits will go towards a local mosque, or food for the poor, etc. Zakat is also one of the five pillars of Islam, making it a hugely important part of the religion and one that is not really up for debate, unless you are below an certain income threshold, in which case you dont pay at all. Jizya on the other hand has a more complicated history and opinions on it have varied throughout history. The verse in the Quran which mentions it (Quran 9:29) does not actually specify what jizya is, it only mentions that it is something that people of the book (Christians and Jews) living in Muslim lands must do. 'Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.' We thus must look at the Hadith as well to get an actual definition of what jizya is. We have Hadith regarding Muhammad and the early Rashidun Caliphs collecting jizya payments from people of the book living in Muslim lands, and there is a history of Islamic legal commentary deciding what is and is not acceptable jizya practice based upon the four legal schools. We also have to look at what jizya's historical use was. If jizya was merely a form of zakat, then it would, like zakat, be designated as for the poor. However, jizya was always, even in Muhammad and the Rashidun Caliphate's times, given to the "state", such as it existed at the time. As the Islamic empire expanded, different jizya "deals" were constantly being made with different groups as they were conquered; as such there was never any uniform jizya payment for Dhimmi (Non-Muslim) populations across the Islamic world (important note: HOWEVER, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT, UNLIKE ZAKT, JIZYIA MUST ALWAYS BE PAID, POVERTY STILL REQUIRE DHIMMI TO PAY JIZYA)Some Islamic empires would rely heavily on jizya payments, and some (such as the Ummayads) would even discourage conversion to keep populations paying an increasingly crucial tax. The Ottomans would apply jizya differently in different regions, and the Eastern European Christian slave boys that were taken to become the elite Janissaries were a form of jizya, organized through the devshirme system. So to sum up, I would have to say that the fundamental difference between jizya and zakat is its intention: zakat is a more personal tithe for the Muslim faithful to be given to the poor; jizya is a tax, not even necessarily monetary, levied upon non-Muslim populations to be given to the state to further the aims of the state. Zakat is an expression of religious piety, whereas jizya is more of an expression of submission to the state." -Quote from someone smarter than me I'm gonna post this on the other comments referencing this as well.

2:14 anyways lol. Converting to religion to avoid taxes isn't exacting not forcing someone to convert, but as I see with most of your videos it's biased towards one case. Your jizz tax or whatever is clearly a pressure built into a system that undeniably will cause conversion.
hello good job btw ... but i think your understanding of the word mawali is not accurate ... its true means a friend like u said but they were not arabs ..check the umaid dynasty they had a similar thing between the mwali and the arabs ..
Mawla in arabic has like 100 meanings. Allah is our mawla. A slave is mawla. The master of the slave is mawla. Afriend is mawla. An allied tribe is mawla. A lord is mawla. In andalus however it meant syrians and yemenis.
Well my friend it was actually people with Spanish accents saying Arabic names, and that how you got the modern names of most Spanish and Portuguese cities.
the Berbers were first ruled by the Phoenicians and their successors being Mauritania, Numidia, and the most famous of them, Carthage before being ruled by the Romans, the Vandals, Byzantines and the Caliphate. when the Caliphate fractured, the Berbers formed their own states leading up to the European colonization with France taking most of them.
I would like to point out that the jizya wasn't higher than the zakaat (Muslim) tax, the jizya also had many exemptions, whereas the zakaat was compulsory.
