Actually one of the interesting things in the islamic troops was the lack of fear during fighting in battles, since they all believed dying in the battlefield defending your faith and your people is a good cause, so when fighting someone who doesn’t care about his own life and has nothing to lose is a game changer (people has nothing but their swords)
For the early Caliphates, everything just came together... Just Cause, Morale, competent Generals, fragmented oppositions.. They were destined to rise..
Actually you guys did fight for money and political power. Religion can be used as political power. Oy when there is no leader in a religion then only that religion can be pure.
I am admirer of Khalid ibn Alwaleed, one of the great general fought hundreds of battles and never lost the one. He is regarded as saif Allah(sword of Allah) and he has reason for that.
Someone's probably already mentioned, but they use footage from the Total War series of games. Total War: Rome 2 and Total War: Attila in particular, but also Empire: Total War, and Napoleon: Total War. The graphics that use the icons to indicate positions and whatnot are their own graphics, though.
Morale is a huge part of war. You dont want a bunch of schmucks that are forced to fight. You want people that want to fight and have a reason and a main goal in mind and are at their 100%.
Exactly.. This teacher is clueless. I was shocked when he asked that stupid question..obviously being one ethnic group and one religion and one shared goal will give you more unity and better odds. Bezentyne troups were devided and probably most of them didnt even wanna be there..
1- The withdrawal of the Muslims from Damascus 2- The leader Abu Ubaidah abdicated to Khalid bin Al-Walid 3- The battle itself, the genius leader Khalid was unable to attack until the sixth day. All of this is evidence that the Byzantine army was several times larger than the Muslim army
I like how when covering this glorious conquest western "historians" always start off by making excuses 5:20 "weakened, exhausted yada yada yada". Lmao no, the Muslims were ALWAYS always heavily outnumbered. By at least 2 to 1 in literally every battle
@J if you mean in the time of the rashidun caliphate or the umayyads ,no the christian victories doesn't exist the christians defeated only the ottomans and the taifas of iberia
Just to clarify, Ali was never a contender as a direct succecion of the prophet nor was there any discussion about prophet's lineage should be inherretor. The emergence of Shi'a only happens during Ali's reign, not after the prophet's death. However, there were a split between two camps the quraish (mecca's origins people) and the ansar (the madina's indigenous). Both wanted to have their own leader, as the qurasih put forward Abu Bakr and the ansar sets up Abu Ubaydah as their leader. they ended up come to agreement that they can't afford to have two camps under one banner.
Abu Hadrami couldn’t disagree more, there was a faction led by Ali that wanted him for leadership (known as shiat Ali) and another faction (led by abu sufyan’s family and clan) that wanted someone of their own to be decided, in fact the ansar were in agreement with them and against giving succession to someone in the prophet’s family (who were giving ghusl to his body at the time), ultimately they decided on giving it to abu bakr in order to usurp the succession from the ahlulbayt
@Adil sidd Abu Bakr RA wasn't the first one to accept Islam. The first to accept Islam was the great lady Khadija, may the infinite rehm of Allah be upon her, the next person to accept Islam was Ali, when the prophet first professed his message to outsiders, he had gathered his relatives and asked who among them would support his mission, and at that point in time only Ali accepted the call, at this point in time the prophet had not yet married Aisha RA and thus didn't have relationship with Abu Bakr RA, he would convert to Islam later. Additionally, the split between Shia and Sunni did not occur much later, at the battle of Saffin, after the adjucation, those who supported Muawiyah were called sunni, and those who supported Ali were shias. Transposed into english, we can think of this as traditionalists vs loyalists in terms of name sake. You defy the decree of the quran and label shias as rafida but do not even know the basic history of Islam. It is interesting that the names Sunni and Shia are only important to the ones who lack knowledge of these matters. The great Ulema of the Sunni, Shia, Suffi, and numerous other groupings do not care for these titles and stand against it.
One of the most important battles in history, sealing the downfall of Eastern Christianity. The world would've been unrecognizable today if the Byzantines had won then.
@@Newstart999 Doubtful. I'd guess we'd have gotten there quicker, but considering the magnitude of the impact of this battle, it's hard to guess how history would've unfolded.
@@Newstart999 Yes, doubtful, given that Europe's scientific progress was stunted in what is colloquially known as the "dark ages" because of the Islamic conquest of Egypt, which halted the import of papyrus into Europe, meaning they literally didn't even have anything to write on. If Egypt hadn't been conquered and closed off, there's a good chance that Europe would've kept progressing forward. But again, given the massive impact, for better or worse, that the Islamic conquests had on Europe, Asia, and Africa, it is hard to imagine what the world would've looked like if it hadn't happened. Also, Al-Andalus was terrible. Stop putting it on a pedestal.
@@Newstart999 >1) : the world is not only Europe and civilisation doesn't revolve around it. Never said otherwise, but okay. >2) : Egypt wasn't closed but rather it was annexed to other sides of the world ranging from Spain all the way to China. What the hell is your point? Egypt was conquered, and from that point on no longer exported papyrus to Europe, which in turn halted scientific progress in Europe, since Europe barely had any paper to write on. This ain't rocket science, buddy. >And no one stopped the Europeans from getting knowledge from Egypt Are you illiterate or something? When did I say anything of the sort? >the amount of knowledge that has been produced in the Islamic world in that era was unmatched by any other era throughout the history at the time, In all fields. -and other hilarious jokes you tell yourself. >3) In the terrible Andlus, a common guy could read and write with almost 0% illiteracy between people while the Kings in Europe couldn't read thier names. And when Andlus was building world wonders like Palace of Alhmbra for example, Paris and London were villages. Meanwhile cordoba had its streets with lamps. All of what you just said was wrong, but okay. >Last thing, all of the knowledge were taken to Europe and used and has been built on, Ironically, the main export of knowledge to Europe from al-Andalus (that's how you spell it, by the way. So much for literacy, huh?) was translations of Greek philosophers done by Jews and Christians. >when whole world was waiting for the Europeans for 1500 years doing nothing Never made any such claim, buddy. Keep beating on that strawman.
The Muslims compare to the Persian and the roman were like the Eskimos to the USA and Russia. Imagine the eskimo taking on the Russian and USA. These 2 empires had more manpower experience skills,so having fought against each other in the past had no effect except experience
6:12 actually, election of Abu Bakr As-Shiddiq becaming caliph wasn't the time when Islam "splitted" into Sunni and Shia, it came actually far later, during the end of reign of Ali ibn Abi Thalib, and also have pivotal role for creating the Ummayad caliphate. And even it became clearly during battle of Karbala, which is came later. As for the successor after the death of Rasulullah Mohammed peace be upon him, at that moment, there were basically misunderstood that a bit far off (quite a long story, and the source itself quite murky and not much mentioned in western source). But not really came into fight or bloodshed (even Ali himself more leaning towards Abu Bakr to became the caliph, and why not? Abu Bakr and Rasulullah basically quite like Batman and Robin, support each other highly and regard each other with respected friendship) and therefore it wasn't much disagreement in the end, no such breakup (yet) and it fixated that Abu Bakr became caliph
Not ranks among the best. He is the best. Can't be compared to others. Most others if not most had a large army, military experience is wars. This guy had nothing and countless battles one after one. Tell me in history anyone who took on the largest strongest empires with a single army of 40k at most ? None.
14:58 "Moral" wasn't the right word. "Cohesion" is a better one. The Arab army at this time was almost entirely of one ethnic background, spoke one language, and practiced the same religious rites.
The claim about the morale ...I think they said that because as said earlier the romans barely took back control, and the population was "hostile" against rome yet the byzantian king began recruiting So in a way I hate the boss and he sends me to war?? I think they meant this.
Khalid Bin Walid and his Companions were True Muslims that's the reason why he was able to beat the ass of Superpowers. Today noone is a True Muslim sad but true 😔...
"7:20" i wanna tell you that the Roman Empire and the Sassanian fought together Khalid Ibn Al-Walid at the battle of Firaz (the Muslims were about 15 thousands and the coalition was about 200 thousands) and the Muslims won by the bless of Allah.
Finally, he started watching Kings and Generals probably the best history channel out there. I have to admit this is one of their older video and the quality increased a lot nowadays. They got a new narrator too. Yes they use a game to simulate the battles, I thinnk it´s total war , but Iam not sure.
Kings and Generals is fantastic, you should definitely watch some more of their videos. Their more recent videos have a different narrator and much better production value.
The lineage of Khalid bin Al-Walid is Khalid bin Al-Walid bin Al-Mughira bin Abdullah bin Amr bin Makhzum bin Yaqza bin Murrah bin Kaab bin Luay bin Ghalib bin Quraish bin Malik bin Al-Nadr bin Kinanah bin Khuzaymah bin Mudrikah bin Ilyas bin Mudar bin Nizar bin Maad bin Adnan bin Adad bin Amin bin Shajib bin Nabit bin Tha’laba bin Uthr bin Burayh bin Muhallam bin Al-Awwam bin Al-Mustat bin Dha’imah bin Al-Uqayyan bin Ala bin Mujdhar bin Aamer bin Ibrahim bin Ismail bin Yazan bin A’waj bin Al-Mut’am bin Al-Tamh bin Al-Qasour bin Atud bin Da’da’ bin Mahmoud bin Al-Zaid bin Nadwan bin Ibabah bin Dos bin Hisn bin Al-Nazzal bin Al-Qameer bin Al-Mujshar bin Mu’dhar bin Saifi bin Nabit bin Qidar bin the Prophet Ismail bin the Prophet Ibrahim

Heraclius to the emissary bringing the news of the defeat after the battle,why are we still losing,we are more and more stronger than them,and the emissary replied because we are corrupt and they are so humble and they just keep praying,lol,good answer!
You should try overly sarcastic productions. they are entertaining and very informative. Really liking the videos so far, it's good that RUclips has a reaction channel that gives credit where it's due. keep it up
You say everyone's trying to survive but no. For Muslims, to die while fighting for Allah's cause is basically a freeway ticket to heaven so they were not trying to survive but to fight without a fear of death.
Making a lot of assumptions here....yes dying while fighting for Allah is guaranteed heaven if god wills it, they fought for Allah not to just throw themselves aimlessly and get cut down.
it does matter because when you fight for something you beileve in your willing to die for it causes unity among the ranks having the same bielef. when ur ranks n ideoligies differ its easier to be routed n not be unified
Khalid ibn al-Walid is considered a hero of the Battle of Yarmouk, in which the Muslims defeated the Romans in Damascus, and then condemned them to control over the Levant. The battle began on August 15, 663 AD, corresponding to 15 AH, and ended within six days on August 20. from the same year
At the early islamic days the unity of the arab people under one faith gave them a huge morale boost which made them win many battles while being outnumbered that's what lies behind the statement of "arabs had better morale".
Actually there wasn’t any early splits between the disciples regarding who should lead. It was an unanimous decision and approval from companions of the prophet that Abu Bakar should become the successor to our prophet, followed by Umar. It was Umar (2nd Caliph) who then made a committee of the best worshippers who would choose the 3rd Caliph. The splits came between sunni and shias after Ali’s death.
Dude I swear I wish you were my history teacher. You are so passionate about history and I can see from your videos that you love teaching this subject. My history teacher just sits in the class scrolling through his phone after telling us to just mindlessly read the textbook😭
Most of the details of the war they got from modern historians who have researched this battle. The primary sources relied on by these scholars to gather all these details are: Kitab Futuh al-Buldan ("Book of the Conquest of the Lands"), 9th century Fatuh al Sham (Conquest of Syria), 8th century Chronicle of Fredegar, 658 Dionysius Telmaharensis (774), Chronicle of Pseudo-Dionysius of Tell-Mahre Ibn Ishaq (750), Sirah Rasul Allah Ibn Khaldun (1377), Muqaddimah The Maronite Chronicles, 664 Pseudo-Methodius (691), Apocalypse of Pseudo-Methodius Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari (915), History of the Prophets and Kings Theophanes the Confessor (810-815), Chronographia Thomas the Presbyter, Chronicle, 7th century Fragment on the Arab Conquests, 636 Chronicle of 819 So from both Byzantine and Arab sources they have constructed this narrative. Of course this is usually what happens in early history where the accounts surviving are those of the victors and the losers. Of course there will be BIAS in accounts from both sides, but historians sift through these narrations to form a coherent picture, how accurate that will be from what took place will always be the question, but thats true for a lot of battles.
The details come from muslim historians and leaders and byzantine historians that were there in the battles and muslim history is so memorised that details are still here with us, and also accounts of the people there.
To clarify, the Rightly Guided Caliphate is not like a hereditary monarchy system, and the term Khalifa means someone who succeeds the Prophet in the leadership of Muslims, and it is a position in which the Caliph has the powers to command armies and order their movement and the authority to declare war and organize people’s economic and social conditions and all of this according to the Sharia of Islam. The Caliph, about the application of Sharia, Muslims have the right to fight him, restore him to righteousness or dismiss him, and the Caliphate system is a system by which the best of people and guide them rule and all Muslims agree to it. One of his cousins, but he was his close friend, minister, and the best of people after the Prophet (Abu bakr), and this is according to the testimony of all the companions, including Ali bin Abi Talib, and after the death of the Prophet, the companions agreed on Abu Bakr and all of them pledged allegiance to him, and they gave him the pledge of allegiance except for two, namely Ali and Al-Zubayr, because they were both Busy, Ali was busy washing the Prophet and burying him, the second day Abu Bakr went to Ali himself and got the pledge of allegiance from Ali twice, once in secret and once in public, and when Abu Bakr fell ill and was going to die, he decided to make the best of people after him a caliph, he was better People after him is Omar he was a believing man and the Prophet loved him and gave him the glad tidings of Paradise. Umar rejected the caliphate but then accepted it, after the death of Abu Bakr Omar received the caliphate and Umar was not one of Abu Bakr’s family and he was not one of his relatives, and when Omar was stabbed while he was praying, some of the companions pointed out to him To appoint his son Abdullah bin Omar, but he refused, because if he did this, he would show his son over other companions, and also because the caliphate is not hereditary, and he did not want to stray from the essence of the rightly-guided caliphate, which is the shura, before he dies he identified six righteous companions who choose one of them to be the caliph and One of those whom he chose was Ali. After that, Uthman bin Affan, who was the son-in-law of the Prophet and married to the two daughters of the Prophet, was chosen. Then a sedition occurred and the Kharaj Uthman was killed. The conclusion from this is that the Shiites are a sect that emerged after the Prophet Muhammad, and it is a misguided sect that declares Muslims and companions to be infidels, and even that they disbelieved the wives of the Prophet Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, who came, may God be pleased with them, in the Noble Qur’an, and they also disbelieved Abu Bakr, who is the father of the Prophet’s wife, Omar and He is the father of the Prophet's wife, Ali's daughter-in-law, and Osman, the Prophet's son-in-law.
Terry, the History teacher needs to learn from the History professor at Austin School about how and why the Muslim Arabs were able to defeat two superpowers simultaneously. Watch Dr Roy's Khalid Ibn Al-Walid, a profile of a warrior on YT.
It means they are fighting for one cause versus the others fighting for multiple reasons and mercenaries will give up easier to live to fight another day as they are fighting for money and no money when dead
Mr. Tyler, the Shia - Sunni rift wasn't over Abu Bakr becoming the first Caliph. It had moreso to do with Uthman being chosen over Ali to become the Caliph. Ali was dealing with the Prophet's funeral arrangements when Abu Bakr was chosen. I believe the rift happened when Uthman became the Caliph. If I'm wrong, correct me.
The Battle of Badr was prophesied, in the Bible, by the Prophet Isaiah (a.s.). It was described as a battle between the sons of Ishma’il (a.s.); the children of Tema who settled in Yathrib, and the children of Kedar who settled in Bakka. Muhammad (s.a.w.) was rejected by his people in Makkah, known in the Old Testament as “Bakka”, and migrated to Madina, which was previously called Yathrib. The specific passage is here: Isaiah 21:13-17 13 The burden in Arabia. In the forest at evening you shall sleep, in the paths of Dedanim. 14 Meeting the thirsty bring him water, you that inhabit the land of the south, meet with bread him that flees. 15 For they are fled from before the swords, from the sword that hung over them, from the bent bow, from the face of a grievous battle. 16 For thus says the Lord to me: “Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar shall be taken away. 17 And the residue of the number of strong archers of the children of Kedar shall be diminished: for the Lord the God of Israel has spoken it.”
@@jisookryu8973 it's fine , I'm happy you apologized , ANYWAYS I'm sorry if I was a bit too much there Because the past people should always be remembered and never to say anything bad about them
An interesting fact about the battle of yarmouk arabian soldier who would flee near the camps would be thrown with rocks by woman to push the back and when the romans would get too close the woman would take their swords and fight
The war that Abu Bakr (RA) was fighting against the fellow arabs after the Prophet's (SAW) death was called the war of riddah and it was about the tribes and people who didnt really believe in or understand the religion so the fact that the Prophet (SAW) died was out of the comprehension of the latter and an oppurtunity for the former. It wasnt a war about who would succeed as Caliph. Those didnt arise until Uthman (RA) and/or Ali (RA)
Muslims did have a higher motivation considering the fact that the army included thousands of companions of prophet Muhammad, people who saw him with their eyes. If you were in that army, that could have sounded to you like there were thousands of supermen in the same army. So that claim is more than right. You need to check al-Waqidi's "The Conquest of Levant".
Well the reason the Muslims had more moral is actually a very simple reason. When would you have a higher morale? When fighting alongside random people from different ethnicities and different religions or when fighting with your brothers? Khalid ibn walid told vahan: “and you will face men who love death as you love life” the Muslims fought for their faith and they believed that dying as a martyr on the battlefield was of the highest honor.
Kings and Generals actually does great videos on historical origins of specific groups of people, nations, and other things, aside from tactical battles.
He's so powerful till Umar ibn Khattab had to fire him on a battle cuz Muslims believe they won bcuz of Khalid ibn Al Waled and not bcuz of Allah. Mashallah
FYI since you asked That channel uses a mix of things like graphics, video games etc i believe they use total war attila on this with modifications. the game is actually beautiful (real time strategy) in many other videos they use the same video game series "Total war"
On your part regarding whether morale matter. I agree that it would be hard to substantiate which side had an upper hand, but morale and the sway of it frequently plays an important role in determining the course and outcome of battles.
Well, Bias in history is also different for each nation/peoples. For example: Battle of Borodino was one of the biggest battles during Napoleonic Wars. Russians lost the battle, abandoning more then 30 thousand wounded to their’s fate. Moscow was then burned, with many villages (some of them with local population that refused to comply. land scorching.) burned as well by Russian army. It was a horrible defeat, that is now celebrated and praised by Russian history books and state propaganda as tactical genius and the sole reason for Napoleon’s defeat. (even thought disruption of supply lines and horrible and totally brutal winter were the actual reasons for napoleons retreat).
. Other soldiers knelt, uttered a prayer, made the sign of the cross, and waited for the onrushing Muslims to strike them down. No prisoners were taken on that day. “The Byzantine army, which Heraclius had spent a year of immense exertion to collect, had entirely ceased to exist,” writes British lieutenant-general and historian John Bagot Glubb. “There was no withdrawal, no rearguard action, no nucleus of survivors. There was nothing left.”
يعتبر خالد بن الوليد بطلا من أبطال معركة اليرموك التى انتصر فيها المسلمون على الروم فى دمشق، ومن ثم دانت لهم السيطرة على بلاد الشام، وقد بدأت المعركة فى الخامس عشر من أغسطس عام 663 ميلادية الموافق 15 هجرية، وانتهت فى غضون ستة أيام فى 20 أغسطس من نفس السنة.
The right flank cuze the river is on the left..also as we all know during those times the military tactics were similar to those we heard about during Carthage vs Rome battles when Hannibal made great use of the geography and terrain to win battles.khalid IBN alwalid is known to have used some of Hannibal war tactics
I often asked my history teachers this question. As a historian we have the benefit of hindsight and see the bigger picture, but in that specific time how would the actors behave on their limited knowledge? We were all wondering in class what the world order, society, economy, xenophobia, resource allocation, future tensions between nations and these other tidbits that make the world work play out as. Fascinating to have such constructive idea sharing during class when class time is over and we have some free time.
@@abdulrehman-md1nx Well, Gassannids are Azdi arabs (cousins of aws and khazraj tribes of Madina). they've always viewed the Romans as a foreign superpower occupying the area of Sham and they wanted to get rid of them. And there are many materialistic benefits for them as they won't pay taxes for the Romans anymore and will get a cut of the prizes of war and as participating in the war that'll exempt them from paying Jizya to Muslims. So I think the question should be why they wouldn't fight the Romans.
About the roman troop numbers remember the roman saw what happened to the Persians and they wanted to prove they are stronger than the Persians so they gathered 5 armies from different nations in one huge army
I have not read of a multiethnic army having higher morale. As loyalties are not recorded to be high between groups. I doubt there is evidence of specific motivations.
This is one of the earliest videos of Kings and Generals. The battle videos are similar but more detailed. They have some other videos on personalities throughout history, like one on Thomas Cochrane. If I would suggest 1 video it is on the battle of Brietenfeld because how much it changed military strategy and warfare.
There was debate.. because prophet muhammad( peace be upon him ) migrated to medina when the oppression of the non-Muslims was getting out of control. torturing Muslims, killing them. He was ordered by God to move to medina. He gained powerful brothers from there they welcomed him stood besides him.. so after his death the medinian demanded they have all rights to claim the leadership because they supported the prophet until the end. But omar ibn Kattan ( RA) argued and said Abu akbar is indeed the right person for this position and brought up something that made sense. He said is there amongst you anyone that has spend all his wealth on this religion more than abu bakr, they said no. Talking of wealth one time the prophet(pbuh) was preparing for war expedition and he called his companions to bring wealth.. Abu bakr(RA) brought everything he had not leaving behind a cent.The Prophet( pbuh) asked him: What have you left for your family? He said: “I have left them with (faith in) God and His messenger .Omar (ra) brought half of his wealth. So that is the incident omar(RA) is referring to. There were 2 more points he made that made complete scene so abu bakr become caliphate. He was able to convince them speaking of the division that later on pose a problem. I think it is not al-ansar ( inhabitants of medina) but I'm also not sure i didn't study that part.
6:25 a split didnt happen here but the Shia grouo later formed during the caliphate of Ali ibn abi talib. There was no split here. Ali himself explains this. May Allah be pleased with him
Hi Mr Terry. Regarding your question about sources. I don’t know if you know this, but Muslims are the original founders of the ‘Sientific Method’ and probably the most important contribution to modern civilisation and to science.

Morale is a huge part of war. You dont want a bunch of schmucks that are forced to fight. You want people that want to fight and have a reason and a main goal in mind and are at their 100%.
Exactly.. This teacher is clueless. I was shocked when he asked that stupid question..obviously being one ethnic group and one religion and one shared goal will give you more unity and better odds. Bezentyne troups were devided and probably most of them didnt even wanna be there..
@@MatriouseThaGod2k Also one language, vs many languages trying to give battle orders and communicate with other commanders.
They do many things outside of wars and battles, like the Roman economy system.
1- The withdrawal of the Muslims from Damascus 2- The leader Abu Ubaidah abdicated to Khalid bin Al-Walid 3- The battle itself, the genius leader Khalid was unable to attack until the sixth day. All of this is evidence that the Byzantine army was several times larger than the Muslim army
The Muslims prayed towards Jeruseleum at first before Makkah. It was always a holyland
I like how when covering this glorious conquest
western "historians" always start off by making excuses
5:20
"weakened, exhausted yada yada yada".
Lmao no, the Muslims were ALWAYS always heavily outnumbered. By at least 2 to 1 in literally every battle
Whats about Muslim "historians" who Claim that Khalid defeated 70k at haizr but it was around 7k
Kings and generals is a gem. One of my favorite history channels.

Just to clarify, Ali was never a contender as a direct succecion of the prophet nor was there any discussion about prophet's lineage should be inherretor. The emergence of Shi'a only happens during Ali's reign, not after the prophet's death.
However, there were a split between two camps the quraish (mecca's origins people) and the ansar (the madina's indigenous). Both wanted to have their own leader, as the qurasih put forward Abu Bakr and the ansar sets up Abu Ubaydah as their leader. they ended up come to agreement that they can't afford to have two camps under one banner.
Abu Hadrami couldn’t disagree more, there was a faction led by Ali that wanted him for leadership (known as shiat Ali) and another faction (led by abu sufyan’s family and clan) that wanted someone of their own to be decided, in fact the ansar were in agreement with them and against giving succession to someone in the prophet’s family (who were giving ghusl to his body at the time), ultimately they decided on giving it to abu bakr in order to usurp the succession from the ahlulbayt
@Adil sidd Ali was 12 years
And one of the firsts or maybe the first .. we love Abu Bakr and Ali radia Allaho 3anhom.. no différence..
@Adil sidd Abu Bakr RA wasn't the first one to accept Islam. The first to accept Islam was the great lady Khadija, may the infinite rehm of Allah be upon her, the next person to accept Islam was Ali, when the prophet first professed his message to outsiders, he had gathered his relatives and asked who among them would support his mission, and at that point in time only Ali accepted the call, at this point in time the prophet had not yet married Aisha RA and thus didn't have relationship with Abu Bakr RA, he would convert to Islam later. Additionally, the split between Shia and Sunni did not occur much later, at the battle of Saffin, after the adjucation, those who supported Muawiyah were called sunni, and those who supported Ali were shias. Transposed into english, we can think of this as traditionalists vs loyalists in terms of name sake. You defy the decree of the quran and label shias as rafida but do not even know the basic history of Islam. It is interesting that the names Sunni and Shia are only important to the ones who lack knowledge of these matters. The great Ulema of the Sunni, Shia, Suffi, and numerous other groupings do not care for these titles and stand against it.
Thank you for being very respectful of my religion and having that knowledge you have just earned a sub and like.

One of the most important battles in history, sealing the downfall of Eastern Christianity. The world would've been unrecognizable today if the Byzantines had won then.
I remember when you had a ton of Hellsing Ultimate content on your channel. Didn't think I'd see your channel here.
@@Newstart999 Doubtful. I'd guess we'd have gotten there quicker, but considering the magnitude of the impact of this battle, it's hard to guess how history would've unfolded.

@@Newstart999
Yes, doubtful, given that Europe's scientific progress was stunted in what is colloquially known as the "dark ages" because of the Islamic conquest of Egypt, which halted the import of papyrus into Europe, meaning they literally didn't even have anything to write on.
If Egypt hadn't been conquered and closed off, there's a good chance that Europe would've kept progressing forward. But again, given the massive impact, for better or worse, that the Islamic conquests had on Europe, Asia, and Africa, it is hard to imagine what the world would've looked like if it hadn't happened.
Also, Al-Andalus was terrible. Stop putting it on a pedestal.
@@Newstart999
>1) : the world is not only Europe and civilisation doesn't revolve around it.
Never said otherwise, but okay.
>2) : Egypt wasn't closed but rather it was annexed to other sides of the world ranging from Spain all the way to China.
What the hell is your point? Egypt was conquered, and from that point on no longer exported papyrus to Europe, which in turn halted scientific progress in Europe, since Europe barely had any paper to write on. This ain't rocket science, buddy.
>And no one stopped the Europeans from getting knowledge from Egypt
Are you illiterate or something? When did I say anything of the sort?
>the amount of knowledge that has been produced in the Islamic world in that era was unmatched by any other era throughout the history at the time, In all fields.
-and other hilarious jokes you tell yourself.
>3) In the terrible Andlus, a common guy could read and write with almost 0% illiteracy between people while the Kings in Europe couldn't read thier names. And when Andlus was building world wonders like Palace of Alhmbra for example, Paris and London were villages. Meanwhile cordoba had its streets with lamps.
All of what you just said was wrong, but okay.
>Last thing, all of the knowledge were taken to Europe and used and has been built on,
Ironically, the main export of knowledge to Europe from al-Andalus (that's how you spell it, by the way. So much for literacy, huh?) was translations of Greek philosophers done by Jews and Christians.
>when whole world was waiting for the Europeans for 1500 years doing nothing
Never made any such claim, buddy. Keep beating on that strawman.
The Muslims compare to the Persian and the roman were like the Eskimos to the USA and Russia. Imagine the eskimo taking on the Russian and USA. These 2 empires had more manpower experience skills,so having fought against each other in the past had no effect except experience
6:12 actually, election of Abu Bakr As-Shiddiq becaming caliph wasn't the time when Islam "splitted" into Sunni and Shia, it came actually far later, during the end of reign of Ali ibn Abi Thalib, and also have pivotal role for creating the Ummayad caliphate. And even it became clearly during battle of Karbala, which is came later.
As for the successor after the death of Rasulullah Mohammed peace be upon him, at that moment, there were basically misunderstood that a bit far off (quite a long story, and the source itself quite murky and not much mentioned in western source). But not really came into fight or bloodshed (even Ali himself more leaning towards Abu Bakr to became the caliph, and why not? Abu Bakr and Rasulullah basically quite like Batman and Robin, support each other highly and regard each other with respected friendship) and therefore it wasn't much disagreement in the end, no such breakup (yet) and it fixated that Abu Bakr became caliph

The legendary Khalid ibn alwalid easily ranks amongst the best generals in history .
Not ranks among the best. He is the best. Can't be compared to others. Most others if not most had a large army, military experience is wars. This guy had nothing and countless battles one after one.

14:58 "Moral" wasn't the right word. "Cohesion" is a better one. The Arab army at this time was almost entirely of one ethnic background, spoke one language, and practiced the same religious rites.
There were Persians and Christians among Islamic army back then .
@@alhashmy1310 Not enough to matter.
They do have some videos about the roman economy and how important egypt was. You might want to check that one out.
The claim about the morale ...I think they said that because as said earlier the romans barely took back control, and the population was "hostile" against rome yet the byzantian king began recruiting So in a way I hate the boss and he sends me to war?? I think they meant this.
Khalid Bin Walid and his Companions were True Muslims that's the reason why he was able to beat the ass of Superpowers.
Today noone is a True Muslim sad but true 😔...
"7:20" i wanna tell you that the Roman Empire and the Sassanian fought together Khalid Ibn Al-Walid at the battle of Firaz (the Muslims were about 15 thousands and the coalition was about 200 thousands) and the Muslims won by the bless of Allah.
Finally, he started watching Kings and Generals probably the best history channel out there. I have to admit this is one of their older video and the quality increased a lot nowadays. They got a new narrator too. Yes they use a game to simulate the battles, I thinnk it´s total war , but Iam not sure.

You should try overly sarcastic productions. they are entertaining and very informative. Really liking the videos so far, it's good that RUclips has a reaction channel that gives credit where it's due. keep it up
History Summarized: Alcibiades is just great.
You say everyone's trying to survive but no. For Muslims, to die while fighting for Allah's cause is basically a freeway ticket to heaven so they were not trying to survive but to fight without a fear of death.
Making a lot of assumptions here....yes dying while fighting for Allah is guaranteed heaven if god wills it, they fought for Allah not to just throw themselves aimlessly and get cut down.
This is what we call war tactics!!! Hail to the sword of Allah-Khalid Ibn Al Walid.👏👏
Islam is not a new religion it is the religion of the adam,abraham,mosses,david,Solomon,jesus and the last prophet muhammad pbuh
it does matter because when you fight for something you beileve in your willing to die for it causes unity among the ranks having the same bielef. when ur ranks n ideoligies differ its easier to be routed n not be unified

No one can break the record of KHALID BIN WALID
Khalid ibn al-Walid is considered a hero of the Battle of Yarmouk, in which the Muslims defeated the Romans in Damascus, and then condemned them to control over the Levant. The battle began on August 15, 663 AD, corresponding to 15 AH, and ended within six days on August 20. from the same year
They said "How you destroyed the two biggest empire in the same time"
Rashidun caliphate "Yes
At the early islamic days the unity of the arab people under one faith gave them a huge morale boost which made them win many battles while being outnumbered that's what lies behind the statement of "arabs had better morale".
16:25 this stuff is their own graphic, any graphic that involves the big 3d animated armies is from total war
Actually there wasn’t any early splits between the disciples regarding who should lead. It was an unanimous decision and approval from companions of the prophet that Abu Bakar should become the successor to our prophet, followed by Umar. It was Umar (2nd Caliph) who then made a committee of the best worshippers who would choose the 3rd Caliph. The splits came between sunni and shias after Ali’s death.
Dude I swear I wish you were my history teacher. You are so passionate about history and I can see from your videos that you love teaching this subject. My history teacher just sits in the class scrolling through his phone after telling us to just mindlessly read the textbook😭
Most of the details of the war they got from modern historians who have researched this battle. The primary sources relied on by these scholars to gather all these details are:
Kitab Futuh al-Buldan ("Book of the Conquest of the Lands"), 9th century
Fatuh al Sham (Conquest of Syria), 8th century
Chronicle of Fredegar, 658
Dionysius Telmaharensis (774), Chronicle of Pseudo-Dionysius of Tell-Mahre
Ibn Ishaq (750), Sirah Rasul Allah
Ibn Khaldun (1377), Muqaddimah
The Maronite Chronicles, 664
Pseudo-Methodius (691), Apocalypse of Pseudo-Methodius
Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari (915), History of the Prophets and Kings
Theophanes the Confessor (810-815), Chronographia
Thomas the Presbyter, Chronicle, 7th century
Fragment on the Arab Conquests, 636
Chronicle of 819
So from both Byzantine and Arab sources they have constructed this narrative. Of course this is usually what happens in early history where the accounts surviving are those of the victors and the losers. Of course there will be BIAS in accounts from both sides, but historians sift through these narrations to form a coherent picture, how accurate that will be from what took place will always be the question, but thats true for a lot of battles.
Absolutely love the fact you reviewed one of these. I'm going through all your videos now and I would love to see more down the road
The details come from muslim historians and leaders and byzantine historians that were there in the battles and muslim history is so memorised that details are still here with us, and also accounts of the people there.
I don't think this historical teacher knows what he's talking about
To clarify, the Rightly Guided Caliphate is not like a hereditary monarchy system, and the term Khalifa means someone who succeeds the Prophet in the leadership of Muslims, and it is a position in which the Caliph has the powers to command armies and order their movement and the authority to declare war and organize people’s economic and social conditions and all of this according to the Sharia of Islam. The Caliph, about the application of Sharia, Muslims have the right to fight him, restore him to righteousness or dismiss him, and the Caliphate system is a system by which the best of people and guide them rule and all Muslims agree to it. One of his cousins, but he was his close friend, minister, and the best of people after the Prophet (Abu bakr), and this is according to the testimony of all the companions, including Ali bin Abi Talib, and after the death of the Prophet, the companions agreed on Abu Bakr and all of them pledged allegiance to him, and they gave him the pledge of allegiance except for two, namely Ali and Al-Zubayr, because they were both Busy, Ali was busy washing the Prophet and burying him, the second day Abu Bakr went to Ali himself and got the pledge of allegiance from Ali twice, once in secret and once in public, and when Abu Bakr fell ill and was going to die, he decided to make the best of people after him a caliph, he was better People after him is Omar he was a believing man and the Prophet loved him and gave him the glad tidings of Paradise. Umar rejected the caliphate but then accepted it, after the death of Abu Bakr Omar received the caliphate and Umar was not one of Abu Bakr’s family and he was not one of his relatives, and when Omar was stabbed while he was praying, some of the companions pointed out to him To appoint his son Abdullah bin Omar, but he refused, because if he did this, he would show his son over other companions, and also because the caliphate is not hereditary, and he did not want to stray from the essence of the rightly-guided caliphate, which is the shura, before he dies he identified six righteous companions who choose one of them to be the caliph and One of those whom he chose was Ali. After that, Uthman bin Affan, who was the son-in-law of the Prophet and married to the two daughters of the Prophet, was chosen. Then a sedition occurred and the Kharaj Uthman was killed. The conclusion from this is that the Shiites are a sect that emerged after the Prophet Muhammad, and it is a misguided sect that declares Muslims and companions to be infidels, and even that they disbelieved the wives of the Prophet Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, who came, may God be pleased with them, in the Noble Qur’an, and they also disbelieved Abu Bakr, who is the father of the Prophet’s wife, Omar and He is the father of the Prophet's wife, Ali's daughter-in-law, and Osman, the Prophet's son-in-law.
I just realized that from 2017 wow there so much better now for the graphics now

Funny timing. I’ve actually been studying this recently.
@@MrTerry غبي
It means they are fighting for one cause versus the others fighting for multiple reasons and mercenaries will give up easier to live to fight another day as they are fighting for money and no money when dead
Mr. Tyler, the Shia - Sunni rift wasn't over Abu Bakr becoming the first Caliph. It had moreso to do with Uthman being chosen over Ali to become the Caliph. Ali was dealing with the Prophet's funeral arrangements when Abu Bakr was chosen. I believe the rift happened when Uthman became the Caliph. If I'm wrong, correct me.
The Battle of Badr was prophesied, in the Bible, by the Prophet Isaiah (a.s.). It was described as a battle between the sons of Ishma’il (a.s.); the children of Tema who settled in Yathrib, and the children of Kedar who settled in Bakka. Muhammad (s.a.w.) was rejected by his people in Makkah, known in the Old Testament as “Bakka”, and migrated to Madina, which was previously called Yathrib. The specific passage is here:
Isaiah 21:13-17
13 The burden in Arabia. In the forest at evening you shall sleep, in the paths of Dedanim. 14 Meeting the thirsty bring him water, you that inhabit the land of the south, meet with bread him that flees. 15 For they are fled from before the swords, from the sword that hung over them, from the bent bow, from the face of a grievous battle. 16 For thus says the Lord to me: “Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar shall be taken away. 17 And the residue of the number of strong archers of the children of Kedar shall be diminished: for the Lord the God of Israel has spoken it.”
Don't forget 240k vs 36k , just see the big big big gap between them

An interesting fact about the battle of yarmouk arabian soldier who would flee near the camps would be thrown with rocks by woman to push the back and when the romans would get too close the woman would take their swords and fight
The war that Abu Bakr (RA) was fighting against the fellow arabs after the Prophet's (SAW) death was called the war of riddah and it was about the tribes and people who didnt really believe in or understand the religion so the fact that the Prophet (SAW) died was out of the comprehension of the latter and an oppurtunity for the former. It wasnt a war about who would succeed as Caliph. Those didnt arise until Uthman (RA) and/or Ali (RA)
Muslims did have a higher motivation considering the fact that the army included thousands of companions of prophet Muhammad, people who saw him with their eyes. If you were in that army, that could have sounded to you like there were thousands of supermen in the same army.
So that claim is more than right. You need to check al-Waqidi's "The Conquest of Levant".
Well the reason the Muslims had more moral is actually a very simple reason. When would you have a higher morale? When fighting alongside random people from different ethnicities and different religions or when fighting with your brothers? Khalid ibn walid told vahan: “and you will face men who love death as you love life” the Muslims fought for their faith and they believed that dying as a martyr on the battlefield was of the highest honor.
A man who is equal to 1 billion soldiers, the man who wins hundred battles. "The Sword of Allah" Khalid ibn Walid.
That is from total war 1212 AD think
Kings and Generals actually does great videos on historical origins of specific groups of people, nations, and other things, aside from tactical battles.
He's so powerful till Umar ibn Khattab had to fire him on a battle cuz Muslims believe they won bcuz of Khalid ibn Al Waled and not bcuz of Allah. Mashallah
FYI since you asked
That channel uses a mix of things like graphics, video games etc
i believe they use total war attila on this with modifications. the game is actually beautiful (real time strategy)
in many other videos they use the same video game series "Total war"
On your part regarding whether morale matter. I agree that it would be hard to substantiate which side had an upper hand, but morale and the sway of it frequently plays an important role in determining the course and outcome of battles.
Wow, I forgot the quality of the earlier videos.
apparently khalid before his conversion planned to work for the romans against the sassanids

Well, Bias in history is also different for each nation/peoples. For example:
Battle of Borodino was one of the biggest battles during Napoleonic Wars. Russians lost the battle, abandoning more then 30 thousand wounded to their’s fate. Moscow was then burned, with many villages (some of them with local population that refused to comply. land scorching.) burned as well by Russian army. It was a horrible defeat, that is now celebrated and praised by Russian history books and state propaganda as tactical genius and the sole reason for Napoleon’s defeat. (even thought disruption of supply lines and horrible and totally brutal winter were the actual reasons for napoleons retreat).
Do more reactions to Kings and generals they are a great guys who make great history videos

. Other soldiers knelt, uttered a prayer, made the sign of the cross, and waited for the onrushing Muslims to strike them down. No prisoners were taken on that day. “The Byzantine army, which Heraclius had spent a year of immense exertion to collect, had entirely ceased to exist,” writes British lieutenant-general and historian John Bagot Glubb. “There was no withdrawal, no rearguard action, no nucleus of survivors. There was nothing left.”

I often asked my history teachers this question. As a historian we have the benefit of hindsight and see the bigger picture, but in that specific time how would the actors behave on their limited knowledge? We were all wondering in class what the world order, society, economy, xenophobia, resource allocation, future tensions between nations and these other tidbits that make the world work play out as. Fascinating to have such constructive idea sharing during class when class time is over and we have some free time.
You should check out history buffs. The channel focuses on the accuracy of movies that are either historical or based on an actual event.
One of the commanders in the muslim army at the batle of yarmouk under Khalid ibn Walid is Abu Ubaidah
14:45 The Ghassanids (northern Arab Christian kingdom) joined armies with Arab Muslims and fought alongside them against the Romans.
why would christians fight christians.
@@abdulrehman-md1nx Well, Gassannids are Azdi arabs (cousins of aws and khazraj tribes of Madina). they've always viewed the Romans as a foreign superpower occupying the area of Sham and they wanted to get rid of them.
And there are many materialistic benefits for them as they won't pay taxes for the Romans anymore and will get a cut of the prizes of war and as participating in the war that'll exempt them from paying Jizya to Muslims.
So I think the question should be why they wouldn't fight the Romans.
About the roman troop numbers remember the roman saw what happened to the Persians and they wanted to prove they are stronger than the Persians so they gathered 5 armies from different nations in one huge army
the fighting you see is probably total war Attila, likely with some mods to make it look better. though it looks like several total war games are used
I adore that you were just over a minute in, and immediately thought of us
Best général ever
I study his entire biography
I have not read of a multiethnic army having higher morale. As loyalties are not recorded to be high between groups. I doubt there is evidence of specific motivations.
This is one of the earliest videos of Kings and Generals. The battle videos are similar but more detailed. They have some other videos on personalities throughout history, like one on Thomas Cochrane. If I would suggest 1 video it is on the battle of Brietenfeld because how much it changed military strategy and warfare.
There was debate.. because prophet muhammad( peace be upon him ) migrated to medina when the oppression of the non-Muslims was getting out of control. torturing Muslims, killing them.
He was ordered by God to move to medina. He gained powerful brothers from there they welcomed him stood besides him.. so after his death the medinian demanded they have all rights to claim the leadership because they supported the prophet until the end. But omar ibn Kattan ( RA) argued and said Abu akbar is indeed the right person for this position and brought up something that made sense.
He said is there amongst you anyone that has spend all his wealth on this religion more than abu bakr, they said no. Talking of wealth one time the prophet(pbuh) was preparing for war expedition and he called his companions to bring wealth.. Abu bakr(RA) brought everything he had not leaving behind a cent.The Prophet( pbuh) asked him: What have you left for your family? He said: “I have left them with (faith in) God and His messenger .Omar (ra) brought half of his wealth. So that is the incident omar(RA) is referring to. There were 2 more points he made that made complete scene so abu bakr become caliphate. He was able to convince them speaking of the division that later on pose a problem. I think it is not al-ansar ( inhabitants of medina) but I'm also not sure i didn't study that part.
You’re right we love multiplying by 10, all 100 million of us.
6:25 a split didnt happen here but the Shia grouo later formed during the caliphate of Ali ibn abi talib. There was no split here. Ali himself explains this. May Allah be pleased with him
Hi Mr Terry. Regarding your question about sources. I don’t know if you know this, but Muslims are the original founders of the ‘Sientific Method’ and probably the most important contribution to modern civilisation and to science. This is important in preservation of Quran and Hadith and it is recognised by modern academics. We know the names of the historians who lived around that time and documented their findings. Please look this up
