- The Caliph - Part 1: Foundation - Featured Documentary
For almost 13 centuries, from the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 to the overthrow of the last Ottoman caliph in 1924, the Islamic world was ruled by a caliph.
Translated from the Arabic ‘Khalifa’, the word ‘caliph’ means successor or deputy. The caliph was considered the successor to the Prophet Muhammad.
It is a term that has, at times, been abused.
In June 2014, a militant group calling itself the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (known as ISIL or ISIS) declared the establishment of a caliphate and proclaimed its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a caliph. This proclamation was rejected by the overwhelming majority of the world’s Muslims.
ISIL had attempted to appropriate a title imbued with religious and political significance - and in doing so had cast a dark shadow over a rich history.
This is the story of the caliph, a title that originated 1,400 years ago and that spanned one of the greatest empires the world has ever known.
In this episode of the Caliph, Al Jazeera tells the story of the caliphate, providing a fascinating insight into how the first caliphs of Islam built and expanded their empire.

Universal message to all. From Adam to Noah, Abraham to Moses, Jesus to Muhammad. May peace and blessings of Allah (s.w.t) be upon them all. We are all brothers and sisters in humanity! love to all!
What about hindu sikhs buddha and jains
@@madarsachap2197 auudubillah
Har Har Mahadev.
that's because they're all offerings of the same, illiterate bedouin culture. Islam is a bad work of plagiarism of Christianity synthesized with Pre-Islamic Arabian pagan traditions whereas Christianity is a plagiarism of Judaism and early Abrahamism, no wonder all three share an analogous message
What are the odds that all three revelations of God would occur in the same district? And assuming that humans have been around for 250,000 years, what are the odds that god would wait 247,000 of those years to reveal himself and that too, to an illiterate and superstitious part of the Middle-East instead of, say, to the Chinese (who could already at that point, read and write)? Or to the Indus Valley? The latter two civilizations were at that point, where most human beings were populated. Utter nonsense
@@nad1ax2 Firstly, God didn’t decide to show himself with Judaism, Christianity or Islam. Worshipping of the God that all these religion believe in started from the first human Adam. If Islam have copied from Christianity, how did it not copy the historical or scientific mistakes that bible have. Chinese and Indo valley and other parts of the world would have received a prophet, if any certain people who didn’t receive a prophet wouldn’t be judge. It’s in Islam “we don’t punish a nation until we send them a prophet.” Arabs have not yet received a prophet who would be from amongst them so God had to send one. The pagan tradition were before monotheistic tradition it was later changed into pagan by the corruption of the people.
as an american i appreciate channels such as Al-Jazeera, PressTV, BBC News, PBS News, as well as others that tend to stray from the mainstream media and tries to get all sides of a story, and enlighten as many people as possible as to what's really going on in the world.
Theyll never give you the presence truth. Easy to talk about what has already happened. They are still deceiving deep state owned medias.
@@Nimyra Al Jazeera is the best news channel by miles in current times. Way better than BBC or CNN. Ofcourse it's got flaws but the best out there
@@advancekashmir9846 what flaws?
You gotta remove BBC from that list ... the last 12 months they've become one of the worst
Thank you Aljazeera for this informative piece. We never studied history beyond our borders in my country Kenya at primary school level, so this is quite educational for me. Looking forward to learning more about your culture.
Ma'am lucky you are Kenyan and African too so to know Islamic culture it is easy for you
@Dinah Kanake
Do you have any semblance of critical thinking in you? You enjoy this propaganda?? For example listen @39:30.. where he talks about Maghreb people (in Morocco and Algeria.) wilfully converting to Islam.. Not a single historian of North Africa puts it like that. Islam was spread by the sword everywhere in North Africa.
@@paulthomas281 propaganda or not I learnt something. Even in Africa, they brought the Bible and took our prime lands so similar situation.
@@DinahKanake And I owe you an apology for saying "Do you have any semblance...". It was very rude and disrespectful, and beneath me. I make it a point never to speak to others that way. I don't know what happened. I am sorry.
@@paulthomas281 its not true. You should read about Islam well from different views and your conclusion
Quran is indeed a magical book, a product of perfection.. I witness it is the true and final message of God. Only those who are committed in searching for the truth, to read, to seek knowledge of the past and present, seek inside himself and outside, and look for the right answers of the right question.. only those will find the true path.
U have been nicely brainwashed my friend.
@@unknownuser2814 No its not. Religious scriptures are works of fiction.
You know arab language?
@@onnoede7515 I am Arab.
Did u know that i am dajjal? I will be set free soon.the sea of Galilee is already low and the date trees are dead. U will see Jasassah very soon.
i friggin love al jazera. I wouldn't know how to spend my nights without this channel
Dittto!
viva Mexico
Maybe get married! Far more interesting than spending your nights with aljazeera..!
Do you live in nights?
Disgusting language
Not only this, AJ documentaries are always unique and different.
AND IT IS FREE TO SHARE - THANK YOU AL Jazeera, A JOB WELL DONE.
Finally! So happy this series is being done, looks great! I will be sharing with those who are interested in learning.

Magnificent. Thank you, Al Jazeera, for this wonderful lesson in a rich history.
Life is a test from God.. the true path is very hard to find, don't be quick in you decisions.. and never give up searching.
wise words in this comment, i rate you, may god show us all the right path and keeps us there. #neverstopwakingup #Thetruth
truth seeker Amin, thank you my friend
not a problem
If u really searching the truth the truth will come to u but at that moment you will be examined by greed you have to be brave and accept the truth without caring what kind of losses you have to pay for accepting truth
Such beautiful words you speak, that sounds like the good path
I've watched this documentary atleast thrice, well made. Got chills when he said 'Eskimos taking on the USA and Russia'. Disheartening to see the fall. The rise shall come again, of all the righteous people.
Inshallah
I'm not sure that is the right stance. There were three international conferences in the 1920's and 30's in order to find the new caliph, and the division was just too great. Perhaps this is a window in time not to look at the world religiously, but to view all people as members of common worldwide humanity. Islamic history is extremely captivating, but maybe we should seize this opportunity to become truly global citizens, to forgo out religious differences and to view each other as simply human.
@@Richard_is_cool that will never happen believe me
@@kto2934 It doesn't if we don't try. (49.13)
@1manuscriptman almost every state in the world was installed by violent means
I'm not religious (Agnostic) but I find Islamic history interesting. During the middle ages, they built great empires and spread a wealth of knowledge. However, the religion has been plagued with constant warfare, that either involved quest for power within Islam, and/or differences of religious ideology. The Ottoman-Empire was the last great venue of Islam, until it fell after WW1.
Very interesting. There will always be conflicting interpreations of History, but I found this series an illuminating starting point - looking forward to the next one!
Thank you so much, this was so interesting and so informative! I am very grateful to have learned this small bit, but rich of information from you all. Truly I am grateful!
Great documentary can't wait to watch next two
amazing documentary....waiting for the next part))))....thanks AJ))
I would like to congratulate you on yet again a marvellous piece of jurnalism, you taught others how to be accurate, not biased, no incitement, not to target individuals or countries because they have been told to do so, basically you are pioneering work in jurnalism. OK, you name the spade spade and that courageous. you deserve all the credits for all your work, which I have been following since you started. well done again and more please.
Thank u for these videos. I really enjoyed the documentary-all parts. My best friend is from Amman, Jordan. I'm American, and I love learning new things about culture and religion-especially the history. Thank you again.
anxiously waiting for the next part
Amazing! Such an interesting documentary!
MashaAllah, a very good (neutral) retelling of a truly heartbreaking history. Looking forward to watching part two. I would love to see a more in depth analysis of each of the dynasties (umayyad, abbased, etc)
Very surprised that after passing of Prophet Muhammad (sawa) a few supporters assembled far away and decided Prophet's successor. The truth is that Holy Prophet (sawa) already decided Imam Ali (as) as his successor at incident of Ghadeer.
Thank you for the video!!!!
Really appreciate your support with Goerge
Great documentary! Thanks a lot!!
Alot of people don't know about the Arabian empire and how far spread it was.Doesn't seem to be taught in schools the way the romans/British empires are, but it was just as successful and ruthless
Its taught in Islamic countries but not in western countries. It's not in western political interest to show eastern nations as capable. Also similar is the depiction of Jesus as a white man which is a European tradition stemming from the middle ages.
Thanks Al Jazeera a billion for this knowledge!Bless you.Aameen.🤲🤲🤲
nice documentary. waiting for part 2!
A big thank for this fabulous documentary
This should have been a 100+ PART series. History teaching in schools hardly go beyond the borders of their own countries. You need to study it by yourself. Thanks to TV, Radio and the Internet and video-formats we can now search what ever we wishes and explore the world from the comfort of our homes.
well said
I hope you atleast learn something about islam while you are at it. Seen from your comments on other videos you aren’t really knowledgeable on the subject. Asking this questions and making claims that stupid atheist that were debunked hundreds of years ago already asked. So do me a favor and read the quran and hadith really and stop cherry picking verses that you like. Read it with a neutral opinion if you like our history that much it woulf make the world a better place if a person with a cursed heart like you would be more understanding of other cultures. Salaam Aleykoum!
The last caliph; Abdülmecit Efendi was a brilliant scholar, an artist and an intellectual. He was the protector of arts and sciences. He established the Istanbul Archeological Museum. He was also a butterfly collector. He had 5000 live samples in a specially built green house at Dolmabahçe Palace.
So For sure....The butterflies and gardens dont save the states..😢
He actually sounds nothing like Muhammad
JazakaAllah for such informative content
These are extremely interesting. I wish I learned more about this when I was in high school. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing video. Really highlighted most of the important and vital events in the history of Islam. However I think it had a few mistakes. But they were overwhelmed by very detailed explanations and information. I would really recommend this to anyone trying to learn something about Islam.
The documentary is heavily biased in favor of islam from start to finish
What do you mean "in favour of Islam" 😂. Did you really understand what the documentary is about?
Wonderful information....thks a lot...
کتنی حیرت انگیز دستاویزی فلم ہے! اللہ بہت بڑا ہے!
great documentary looking forward to more
I'm a Muladi(Islamized Spaniard) living in

Muito obrigado pela “history lesson “, l love history , thank you very much!
Portuguese!!!!!!!!! I visited Portugal and found lots of Islamic history there. Maybe it was Algarve.
Awesome production....keep it up
Love u Al jazeera
May Allah sbht have mercy all the sahaba and the prophet mohamed scw
I have seen this documentary 4/5 times so informative and detailed
Good video. It's about time people educate themselves about what a Caliph truly is.
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing this info

There is a supreme irony to filming so much of this in Mecca and Medina, where the Saudis have bulldozed early Islamic history.
+Jamming Namming ..how profound..another internet scholar/troll...I got your number...it's all good ...I find you hilarious...and of course you already knew that Aljezerra literally means peninsula...and it's owed and funded by Sheikh Hamad bin Thamer Al Thani...keep up the good work...

Islam dont place any importance on materials, they had to demolish to make space for pilgrims

Great documentary. Thank you.
wonderful documentary!
This makes me proud on two counts, first being a Muslim, second being an Arab.
good, then come join the caliphate
if i could swallow a nuke....i would.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi Trooool loool
+thisisthezodiacspeaking good for you! Wave ur freak flag buddy!
never be proud be gratefull
The true caliphate that was on the path of prophethood is the alrashidon caliphate, while the rest were only strong states and empires, in which science and art appeared 🙂etc..,
but did not rise to the level and purity of the alrashidon caliphate.
شكرا الجزيرة 👋
@Ibrahim Alloush brought to you by FOX History
Calipate needs to stay in any of the first 4 rightly guided caliph's bloodline..
Invaluable. Reflects complex early history of the Middle East. Thank You Al Jazeera. This is the first part of an important film.
A very good documentary, very summarized and in some parts is unjustified as it lefts crucial events that can affect understanding facts and the motives behind some actions.. but overall a very good introduction to whom who are not very knowledgeable about the Islamic history. Thanks!
inaalilaahi wa inaa ilyhi raaji un
Sallallahu Aleihi wasallam
+bob shante - and what does that suppose to mean ?
+Donald Anderson That is not correct.
Aleihi does means "upon". wa-sallam is a conjunction with imperative verb - it means "with peacefulness".
It is "salah" that is being "upon" the "nabi" - - "...Sollu alaihi (sollu upon him) wasalimu (with peacefulness) taslima (of peace)" 33:56
There is no "peace be upon him" phrase. English writings on the religion of used SAW abbreviation to refer to "god's peace be upon him".
But SAW is really abbreviating "sollu allah alahi wasalam" - which means Allah sollaa upon him with peace.
Verse 33:56 is where all this was derived from.
"Very Allah and the Malaikat Yusollu upon the Nabi, O ye with conviction (amanu) Yusolu upon him with peacefulness of peace"
Religious teachers will tlll you that sollu here means "blessings". So they are saying that as Allah and the Malaikat sends blessings to the Nabi, the amanu shall send blessings to him as well.
Thats why bobo shante wrote what he wrote. He saw a documentary of about muhammad and the caliph, and he is sending his blessings to muhammad.
But solllu does not mean blessings.
Amen brother Salla Allah alaihi wa sallam
Prophet Muhammad was a blessing to this Ummah
allahuma salle alla mohammad wa alle mohammad :) im a christian and I know this this by heart...even ashhado anna ila wa ilallah ashhado anna mohammadan rasullollah
Marwan Naeem There is no "blessing" in the phrase....
Great discription, thanks!.
This isn't just about religion. This is so much more than religion - it's politics and fight for power and the original religious ideas seem to come second. I think more people should watch this before arguing about how Islam is terrorism. Very interesting documentary, especially when ignoring the religious arguments and focusing purely on the historical side.
mush love to the prophet may god unite us and have the Honor to meet him in paradise.
Looking forward to rest of the episodes!!
Looking forward to more whitewashing of history I see.
Totally agree fantastic series
what do you mean by that?
+Endri Bardhyli because you have blinded your self from seeing the truth so open your mind and heart
MR M S ALI
What truth?
That the Islamic empire like all empire was build with fire and blood. About the countless massacres that the Islamic caliphates, be them Rashudin, Ummayad,Abbasid or Ottoman perpetrated. Or the countless cities that were wiped out of the face of the earth that ruins litter Europe and the Middle East. Or the millions that were enslaved, torn from their families and used as human chattel. Its you who have the blinders on. I back my claims with facts. Yours are merely emotional stimuli and regret of the loss of the power you held over the head of others. Now the Islamic world is in a pitiful state. It creates nothing, innovates nothing, it produces nothing but raw resources and damaged human beings. Do me a favor and open your eyes to the truth that your parents, friends and society have blinded you.
Many of you have a huge problem with this channel, if there videos bother you so much simply don't watch them lol. Great video AJ, looking forward to more like this!
at 3:20 I paused the program to take in the unique beauty expressed in that courtyard, I've never seen anything like it . . . in this long life I've learned to accept the world for the way it is and I don't wish, dream, hope or pray for peace, it's not that simple unfortunately, but if there is a path to peace then it leads to this magnificent structure and space.
is it possible to provide date (the year in Hijri and BCE) with every next event? i am a student of history and it will help me
Here again came to watch again.
thanks aljazeera good and Good
production
Please add Arabic subtitles to your documentary films so I can share them with my family. They're too good not to be shared.
maybe a simple version of history, but enough for who don't know about those centuries....
Can I get in some more informative..any authentic sources please

Very informative, although not a 100% accurate
But then, I guess none of us was alive back then to verify the truth or point out the exact errors in this documentary

@@borhanuddin4289 i believe many GoT's storylines were copied from Islamic era and their texts. Even the "The Wall" and "The Dead" implying Yajuj and Majuj.
Also Please add documentary of Al Jazeera Arabic with English subtitles
Very well done. A complex complicated history unveiled in a very short episode. Interesting, dynamic, informative - I am sure, before I even read some of the expected comments, that there will be/are complaints and opposition to this presentation. Details will be bypassed, for sure. One cannot pack hundreds of centuries into a 50 minute program however, one can get fleshy skeleton impressions and with that, continue to research as much or as little as one can or will in order the develop one's understanding of a complex history of anything. I've lived and/or visited most of the places (with the exception of Israel and the Hijaj) over a period of 50 years and I studied the world's great religions with the exception of Hinduism, another complex story, even more complex and certainly older than Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism and all their variations.
Did you come to Islam?
Great series
Please, Could you post turkish version or with turkish subtitle.

Thank you very much for posting this wonderful video. Please post a video about Ma'rib Yemen, where the Arabic language and civilization originated.
I wish to have its full audio transcript.
I like how the video maker has avoided going into the details of different conquests and battles, This makes the video much acceptable to different historians and communities. What I fail to understand is why there is so little mentioning of the spread of Islam in the Indian subcontinent which currently holds the world's 2nd, 3rd and 4th biggest Muslim populations.
Very informative
I made myself watch the whole thing. It's mostly about war. The best parts showed beautiful Greek or Roman architecture, paintings, and sculpture.

I’m sorry I’m just clarifying abu bakr died at 63 not at 61 sorry to bother you I just needed to clarify 12:13
In lunar calendar it's 63 and in solar it's 61.
63 is by Lunar Calender and 61 Gregorain. Like the Quran says when describing ahli lkahf. They lived there 309 yrs (Lunar
and some other says 300 yrs (Gregorian). Make yr calculation u will verify.
Excellent video :)
A good documentary
