Quick note on your use of the name: at 4:30 you call him "al-Rahman" as if it were his last name. In this instance this is not the case. The whole "Abd al-Rahman" is his first name. "Abd" means Serveant, while "al-Rahman" can be translated to "the most merciful" one of Allah´s 99 names. Therefore muslims at that time and nowadays would never refer to him as "al-Rahman" because this would be refering to him as God. Besides that small remark your videos are remarkable as always. Thanks for the great work.
@hamsaa6283 2 жыл бұрын
@asahi toki Nah man. I think this mistake can happen to anybody who has no knowledge in the Arabic language. Understanding the concept behind the use of one of Allah's (swt) 99 names is not so easy. Sometimes some of his names are even used without the "abd" (slave) before it, as it is the case with Malik (can be used as an honorific title for rulers). Sometimes names of God are also used as first names without the "abd al" e.g "karim". I would always refrain from using one of his names without the "abd" before it, as these names are reserved for Allah but I think one has to acknowledge that there is some obfuscation around it. They also make videos about topics originating in so many different cultures and languages. They do not focus on one Era in particular. If you were to ask me to talk about a person from a cultural and linguistic background different to mine I could also easily mess up names. Errare humanum est. Therefore, I do not think that their reputation should be tarnished by mistakes on this level. Contrarily, I applaud them for being one of few western channels to dive deep into Islamic history. Keep up the good work.

Before the decisive battle that won him his kingdom, some of the Yemenis who fought for Al-Rahman were on the verge of mutiny from lack of provisions as well as the fact that he was mounted on a fine Spanish steed, which made many Yemenis unhappy as it was perceived that he could easily run off to safety and abandon them if the battle went didn't go their way. Noticing the simmering discontent from his Yemenis allies, the exiled Umayyad prince took immediate action by going up to one of the Yemenis chiefs and offered to trade his magnificent mount for the mule the chief was riding on, on the pretext that he found the horse difficult to control. A deal which surprised the man who readily accepted. This quelled any feeling of discontent among his troops and improved morale for the battle ahead.

Orientalists concluded this because most of the armys were arab and the government too. Here why this is a weak conclusion, the ummmuyeds saw religion not race or ethnicity, and most Muslims were arabs. But at the time of the abassides a lot of non arabs had converted to islam.

Umayyads did not actually do that. It was prophet Muhammad who laid the foundation then his companions destroyed the Persian empire and defeated the Eastern Romans taking the middle East and Egypt. The first Umayyad Caliph was also a companion of the prophet. They did not create an empire but simply inherited it. What happened was the first Umayyad Caliph made his son the Caliph which changed the Caliphate to dynastic lineage unlike how the previous Caliphs who did not favor their family, Umayyads did not create the empire themselves but they did expand.

Fun fact: it is the 3rd or 4th oldest settlement in Spain which can dated back to 1500 b.c. and has been home to many notorious civilizations like the phoenicians since 900 b.c. They named the settlement Seks, followed by the Romans who changed it to Firmum Sexi, and to this day you can use the demonym Sexi for locals.

The downfall of the umayades was not without its reasons, trying to build an empire where muslim arabs are superior to muslims from other ethnicities was a fatal error, it went against the principles of islam itself (treating a non arab muslim as a Dihimi -politically and financially- is simply begging for a revolt in your empire), it was just a question of time before they go down.

I think it's funny that the khawarij sects which were so pro equality to the point they rejected not only the notion of the family of the prophet being the only to be able to rule but also the notion that the overall ruler of the Muslims should atleast be from Quraysh (which most Sunni scholars condition even if they don't narrow it down to the family as Shi'as do) and can be from any race or ethnicity if capable, were predominantly Arab movements with very few non Arabs in a state where the policies favoured Arabs.

@@jihadi-against-oppression With all due respect, brother, but you are entirely incorrect; I don't think you read his biography; the Reconquista began in 722 AD, and Almanzor was born in 938 AD. On the contrary, he was able to unify and maintain the caliphate, as well as expand it in the north after it had lost many territories, and the Umayyad caliphate in Andalusia reached its peak under his reign. I mean that’s why he got the nickname Almanzor in the first place which means the Victorious. The downfall began after his death, when Muslims were embroiled in civil conflicts because of “nationalism” and indulged in pleasures, which is tragically similar to how Muslims live today.

In a lot of ways Abd Al-Rahman's story mirrors that of Daenerys Targaryen, and I can't help but wonder if GRRM may have taken inspiration from the legendary Umayyad Caliph when he came up with Dany as a character. Just like Dany, Al-Rahman had to go into exile and flee for his life after his family was overthrown by the Abbasids (in Dany's case the Baratheons) who were slaughtering every Umayyad they could get their hands on. And while Abd Al-Rahman was chased by spies and assassins and once even narrowly escaped capture and execution by the skin of his teeth as his brother was killed on the journey, the last scions of House Targaryen were also purportedly chased by the "Usurper's Dogs" and spent much of their lives in exile on the run and in hiding. And just like the way Dany conquered Slaver's Bay and established herself as Queen of Meereen, Al-Rahman also made it to Spain where the Abbasids had little influence over and was able to build up his support from practically nothing to eventually be able to conquer virtually the entire Iberian Peninsula and establish the Emirate of Cordoba. Of course the main difference between the two is that Abd Al-Rahman thrived after consolidating power and never attempted to reestablish Umayyad rule over the then Abbasid Muslim world, whereas Dany is most likely going to abandon Slaver’s Bay in the next book to begin a Targaryen reconquest of Westeros.

Excellent. Learned some things from a different point of view; I'm related to Yusuf. He made an offer to Abd al-Rahman in which he was named Yusuf's heir but Abd al-Rahman refused. The al-Fihri had extended every courtesy to the refugees and even married into the family. When the Abbasids started putting pressure on the Fihrids, they suggested the refugee Umayyad prince leave to avoid incurring the wrath of the Abbasids. Earlier, in 737, Yusuf repelled the forces of Charles Martel at Narbonne. About a decade later a relative who ruled as wali of al-Andalus at the bequest of Abd al-Rahman ibn Habib named ibn Qatan was murdered. Abd al-Rahman ibn Habib, the one who provided shelter to the Umayyad refugees, appointed his son Yusuf to the post of wali of al-Andalus in 747.
