  • The Caliph - Part 2: Division - 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, looking at the Sunni-Shia divide, and how this split arose from a dispute over who should succeed the Prophet Muhammad.

      @Ben Warner Imagine being this smoothbrained. The marriage with Aisha was consumated when she was considered to have satisfied that time's conditions for maturity. Men her age were being trained to fight in the army. Slavery was widespread when Islam came but Islam limited only to war captives and put strict conditions on the treatment of slaves. Muhammed PBUH was the best man to follow. He united the arab tribes and started a new civilization. The malhama will come so that Islam fight against evil. If it doesnt come that just means evil is winning.

      @A Smack Islam came and freed women from being sold, from being killed just for being women, gave them the right to own business, to vote, to education, to own land, to buy and sell properties, to divorce... all those things, the west adopted not more than 100 years ago. Including that institution you call university, was found by a Muslim women for Muslim women under a caliphate, as a center for women to get higher education. and she founded it with the money she inherited from her father, during a time European women were not allowed to inheritance unless a husband would manage it. Apart from the fact that the greatest scholar of Islam was a woman, who transmitted all the teachings from her Husband Muhammad SAW, and most of the Islamic tradition is because her word her more value than any other men that lived with the prophet. Get your facts right and stop adhering to propaganda. Islam has a holy book translated in different languages for you to learn from the source, instead of living of conjectures. PS. women in Islam are prohibited from taking up their husbands names, because her name has as much value as her husbands name and exchanging name is a western culture because women were property exchange between her father and the husband.

    This is great documentary series. I learn many interesting things about history of Islam. However i like to make some suggestion.
    1. Due to complicated map of the middle east as there are many small regions, It take more time for a person to understand what is going on and where?. Maps should be used while talking about movement, regions, places of battles. Which will provide more pictorial view to the viewer. Though sometimes maps are shown but sometimes it felt to be required.
    2. Some of the rituals and terms used in this documentary are used directly from Quran or used by Islam (i.e. War Booty etc ). I came across these terms for the first time, so i had to go to Wikipedia to understand that term or ritual. These terms and rituals should be explained in documentary itself, so any person who is not having Islamic background can understand it very well.

      We will undoubtedly unite one day under the banner of the Mahdi. However, the Shia in modern times have strayed far away from the true path. Over the years they become more pagan in beliefs. As long as their Shia leaders are still there spreading lies and creating bid'ah, there is no saving them unless they truly understand the Quran and not the lies of their leaders.

    Allah has put forward the criteria for leadership in the Holy Quran 2:247: "He said: “Allah has chosen him (Talut) over you and has endowed him abundantly with both intellectual and physical capacities."
    Allah the Most Exalted has endowed Imam Ali (A:) abundantly with both intellectual and physical capacities.
    Imam Ali (A:) was the most intellectual man among the Holy Prophet (S:)'s Ummah since He (S:) said " I am the city of knowledge and Ali is it’s gate"- Tirmidhi.
    And Imam Ali (A:)'s greatness in physical capabilities was proven in the multiple battles and specially in the Battles of Khandaq and Khaybar. Neither Abu Bakr nor Umar dared to take up the challenge put forward by Amr Bin Al-Wud in the Battle of Khandaq and both lost in the Battle of Khaybar but Imam Ali (A:) bought victory in both the cases.

    One correction: the report about Ali Ibn Abi Talib refusing to pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr As-siddiq is a baseless fabrication. It's based on narrations that are at best weak and devoid of any substance. Ali, may allaah be pleased with him, gave his allegiance to Abu Bakr as did all other Companions in Madinah who had selected him unanimously. Refer to The Biography of Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq by Dr. Ali Muhammad As-sallabee. Page no. 237. There are numerous authentic Hadeeth narrated which further substantiate this fact. The Noble companions were far removed from usurping anyone's rights let alone the right of Caliphate itself. May Allaah guide us.

      This video is certainly Christian or atheist made. It speaks about Muhammad SAW as just a leader and suggests the definition of a caliph as "a successor". Muhammad SAW is a prophet and messenger in Islam and He is not to be referred as just a leader of a nation in order for the definition of a caliph to spring up in that way. A pure rejection of faith might have inspired this video. The so called calm tone of this video goes against the nature of truth.

Don't watch this video if you want to retain true concepts in that caliphate is completely distinct of Muhammad and "aren't" his successors.

For tawheed and submission to God almighty.

For seat and power, Mr. Baker was chosen by a few people, Ali was not even included. How come Abu Baker, Uthman and Umar were not involved in the Prophet's burial? They were too busy meeting for Khialfa, took advantage of that time and appointed Mr. Baker as the Khalifa, then his daughter Ayesha and her best friends Talha and Zubayer went to war against Ali Khalifa of the time. Then your uncle Mawyia went to war with Ali. Those people hated the family of the Prophet. Then Yazid happened.

Yet somehow a narrative that this ugly POLITICS unlike other fascist imperialistic regimes is "different" is deep rooted in the Muslim faith, can someone show me that difference ?
