Well I am a Sicilian Muslim, so this video really impressed me lol. Alhamdulilah.

My own Sicilian part of my family has Middle Eastern and North African heritage, as well as Neofiti Jewish ancestry from Calabria. I feel proud to have Muslim ancestry in my family, and it has influenced my own Jewish faith in that I also deeply connect the Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews who lived in the Muslim world. Peace and mercy be upon all the Muslims in the world and may HaShem give you all blessings

I am a sicilian born there I migrated in ny with my parents and I remember my parents had strict rules just like Muslim s my mom and I walked in front my dad used to walk in the back with my uncle's just like the Muslim ruled I'm so happy to hear this thank u for explaining the history god bless

May Allah bless you and protect you for the ummah.

Jazaak Allahu khairan Sheik🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻❤️❤️❤️

Very cool. I never knew about sicily being muslim.

May allah preserve you ya shiekh . Thank you for this very insightful lecture

Salam aleykum Ustadh, is it perhaps an idea to have some series on islamic history? The development of the caliphates, spreading of islam (from andalus to china) . Like a structural series, which may be considered by some "dry geeky material", of events and developments you also discussed on some of the library chats (on the ghaznawids and nizam-ul mulk), and on the Umayyads in the sahaba series. I think you'd be one of the few qualified persons to teach this, and you have a great ability to convey this in an interesting way as well. BaarakAllahu feek.

Really impressed Sheikh Can't wait to hear of your trip to Sicily after you get back

Shaykh could you make such amazing history snippets on Indian subcontinent's history please😃❤️

Awesome I have been to Italy 5 times and Malta once, and Sicily definitely has some Islamic history on the island. I have been to the National Mosque of Rome which is nice. Malta has small towns with Arabic names (Rabat, Mdina, Meiliha) and their numbers are the same as Arabic numbers. But there is one official masjid in Malta in an area called Paola. Obviously there is huge Islamic history in Andalusia in Spain, some Islamic history in Portugal as well as some of the Greek Islands such as Crete. Even Parthenon on Acropolis Hill in Athens was a masjid at one point - sad there is no official masjid in Athens as far as I'm aware

When Sheikh concludes the Prophets series (probably in 15 years lol), he should start a detailed series about the different phases in Islamic History around the world. Would be so fire Insha'Allah

Honour and gheerah are big in Sicilian culture to this day.

Wow! So interesting! Sicily & Malta...Loved this history lesson....Islam has an amazing heritage and culture. jazakAllah khayran Shaykna

JazakAllah Khair 🌸

Had assumed I was 100% Italian/Sicilian. DNA result showed 19% from North African Counties (Tunisia, Algeria, Libya)

Masha’Allah

JazakAllahu Khairan shaykh

Ma shaa Allah alhamdulilah❤️ Allahu Akbar❤️☝🏼

Interesting ❣️.. Love you shaikh always

This was beautifully done! Sicily was transformed agriculturally, irrigation, and in other ways, also durum wheat for pasta, peace and love!

Very interesting.... JzkAllahu khayran

Allhumdulilah. I learnt so much.

So fascinating. I was not aware of this!

Subhanallah, so this is where the Idrisy Map came along. A modern atlas more than 1000 years after Mercator's.

It should be entitled the history of Muslims in Italy , Islam will never stop growing because Allah has promised it shall go over .

We may know a little bit about our own country, but I think most of us know nothing about Islamic history in other parts of the world.

The west will not tell u this part of history, 💕 i love Islamic history, amazing how how good and powerful we are meant to be,

Great talk 👍👍👍👍

Safe travels inshAllah, may Allah protect and bless you brother Yasir Qadhi.

Please more hidden islamic history in europe

❤️

The History of The Islamic Invasion of Sicily

Assalamualaikum , please suggest any book on Islamic Sicily , which u have read

I was waiting for the Godfather to be referenced here....

best books on islamic Sicily and malta ??

There is more, Italy's Bari, Sardinia, Southern France's Septimania....

I got two request, could you post more videos about islammic history and and bring back animated lectures please.

By "lost" he means: "muslims were kicked out after they invaded it"

where the shike from

"Muslims started fighting amongst themselves", means the Muslim community had decayed by time and the teaching of Islam was left over. Fighting and killing in another word causing harm to each other is direct opposit to Islam as Islam means securing safety and security to everyone.So when the Muslim community decayed they were expelled from many parts of the land. Untill today no one is concerned of refreshing the Muslim community as they are unaware of the problem within them but wasting time in singing the past pride and raping on other communities. In short Allah wants to be proud of helping His followers and wants to claim the victory of Muslims. That's what meant by Alhamdulillah and Allah Akbar. But our people are how far ignorant of the meanings of both single words? Should the really knows it, they never recite the Soorath Fathiha the way the do it now and they never shout saying Allah Akbar the way they shout now.

so sad...

I have to disagree with you that Sicily was “nothing before Islam”. Sicily had a very old civilization that rivaled the power of classical Greece and Rome before Rome became an empire. Also while Norman Sicily was a beacon of multiculturalism and a sort is protoenlighenment, it would be inaccurate to lay its success solely at the feet of the Muslim community there and most historians accredit the Norman leadership for bringing unity and stability to the island that it hadn’t had before the conquest, when the Sicilian Muslims had been fighting amongst themselves.

When are you going to make your LGBTQ stance clear ?

Mr Misguided scholar ...May Allah guide him and us ...All muslims who are jealous of their deen should stay away from this guy and the Yaqeen shubuhaat institute
