thank you for this great video/gift on the blessed month of Ramadan. Alhamdulillah! edit: just one criticism or advice for future videos about islamic history, if possible use the names of the companions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ instead of pictures from artists, depicting their faces.
Have actual biologists ever examined if the method to "preserve water" in kamel stomachs makes even sense as described? Sounds like a typical pre scientific tall tale.
there is many battles khalid fought like yarmuk and many others clashes which is deserved to make more battles vedioes about him hope you do it ❤❤❤ big thanks to the chanel
How do you know a general is legendary? It's when he sends his troops to block the enemy's escaping route before they even decide to escape. That's what I call unmatched confidence
When death approached Khaalid Bin al-Waleed and he realised that, he wept and said: "I witnessed such and such battles, and there is no place on my body the size of a handspan that has not received a blow from a sword or been pierced by an arrow or hit by spear. But here I am, dying on my bed as a camel dies. May the cowards eyes never sleep. I sought death in the places where it may be sought, but it was only decreed that I should die on my own bed.” [Siyar A’laam An-Nubula’, 1/382] Edit: wow 2.3k likes thank you guys Edit: I put the source of the quote Edit: his nickname that the prophet gave him was was " The drawn sword of God " or " The unsheathed sword of God "
It's because he was honored with the title of " Sword of Allah" by Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him. So God's unsheathed sword shouldn't die at battle field. If so it implies that God's sword was broken by a some random mortal. It's God's decree.
Abu Ubayda ra is one of the senior companions of the prophet pbuh. He has a very high status in Islamic history. He later became the governor of the Levant (Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria) One time the Caliph (Umar) visited him and saw him living in a straw hut on the outskirts of Damascus with nothing in the Hut but a prayer mat and bread crumbs for food. The governor of what used to be the most prosperous province of the Roman empire, and one of the most prosperous of the Islamic Caliphate. Umar ra said: “O Abu Ubaidah! The life of this dunya (world) has changed all of us but I swear upon Allah that you are just the same as you were in the time of the Prophet pbuh“
Yarmouk was one of the most consequential battles ever fought. Its echoes still ring loud and clear across the world, nearly a millennium and a half later.
@@supremercommonderthere already was the Arabs just took over the Persian empires position. Even the early Roman Empire had Chinese silk. It’s true that the Arabs took control of the Silk Road but that road existed before the caliphate
Goosebumps. It's not the difference in numbers that standout, it's the fact that these were Byzantine's elite forces. Greater numbers, better equipped, better armoured, experienced generals all outdone by pure genius and incredible bravery.
@@pauldorfman701 That is pure coping. The Byzantine army was vastly superior in every respect. I already know your response. Just pause and reflect before you reply.
@@pauldorfman701 Everything he said is correct, the Byzantines had the numbers, they where better equipped and had experienced leadership. I fail to see where he got carried away. Clearly the Arabs showed great courage and incredible brilliance in their leadership. Trying to diminish their achievement is petty and a disgrace.
However, there appear to be numerous mistakes on Vahan’s part out of I can only imagine sheer arrogance and being baited. The one on one’s with officers being killed in front of their troops not just damaged morale, but also troop cohesion and discipline. Furthermore I feel Vahan misused his cavalry (by keeping them in reserve instead of exploiting frequently exposures and openings) and the four divisions each working on their own, rather than coordinating and supporting one another. There were moments, as portrayed here, where Khalid could have found himself surrounded by cataphracts, overextended and alone, but the cavalry stood back to only aid their own sections. So although Khalid ultimately outwitted his opponent, his opponent allowed it by a string of bad decisions.
Hahahaha! The Byzantines were mentally and morally crushed by these ferocious words of the great Muslim General: Khalid ibn Al-Walid (The Sword of Allah) ❤️
Yeah buts its not a great way to make friends or inspire loyalty is it ? Most of these primitive Bedouin tribes murxered each other at some point in time and the various dynastic succesors were so ego tistical and paranoid they even muurded theire fathers and brothers slo they could have what they craved ie to boss people about ! Its all a bit shallow but typical of all Dictators or ayaltolahs ?
@@davidmiller4078 The words are being delivered at a battlefield, and not on the dinner table, you don't make friends on the battlefield..you are there to fight...that is the way of battles and wars....
I'd not previously known much about the Muslim generals of history. My word, what a superb general Khalid was - truly one of the all-time greats! Thank you for educating me!
Its interest if we read about history. Khalid ever lost but before he became moslem. He was lost at khadaq battle and almost lost at uhud before, if sahabah archer contingent didnt make mistake, khaled would be lost also. And yes general can beat him is our beloved Prophet Muhammad pbuh 2 battle that became one of reason he became moslem. His tactical on left wing at yarmouk, i think he got it from learning Prophet tactical

@@CONCIOUS19what the reason you said im shia? l always love sahabah all. When that was happen? If you read about history yo will be know thats battle just before Khalid RodiallohuAnhu became moslem.
They don't fight it's the plane from the begining was to encouraged who get back and remember them that they will not be their wife's anymore so that they would fight to the victory and that's what happened in the end.
This was a rumor and not a fact that women fight alongside Muslim men If this happens, it means that men's hearts become weak and their faith in God weakens
That is a lie and is downplaying the genius of Walid and the tenacity of the Arabs at the time. Both the Sassanian and Roman empires were weaker at the time but still the most powerful nations in the world and far stronger than the newly formed umayaad caliphate.
@Florentino Perez arabs also were exhausted from years of civil war called ridda war. also the romans and sassanids still had a lot more population and resources
This is one of the most hard fought field battles prior to the gunpower age. Several DAYS of exhaustive fighting that included a whole day of rest because both sides were pushed to their limits. The Romans had the edge in most of the engagements but failed to deal a decisive blow. The Arab commander was very smart to give Khalid operational command. One of the most impressive battlefield achievements and just one of Khalid's tactical masterpieces.
It is rare to see such unbiased opinion when it comes to Khalid, westerners always have a knee-jerk reaction and dismiss Muslim achievement to the two empires just being tired. Thank you.
@@lordshang8838 I'm american and khalid is my favorite general ever. The sword of allah deserves much more recognition. He's just as amazing as hannibal or alexander.
You have to keep in mind the... lets call it "tradition of historical story telling" in the early islamic culture. So many of the important battles of the Arabs during that time supposedly took several days, (despite this beeing super rare) included single combat (which the Arabs usually won) and clever trickery by the Arabs. Its almost formulaic, and therefore not really believable. I guess we can trust the claims about who won the battles, but as soon as you see those elements, you should realize that its an islamic source, and therefore be sceptical about any details.
@@Omega0850 i've heard this pushback before and I think it's dishonest. If we're gonna say that propoganda plays a role in recording military history you better be dismissing Alexander's unbeaten record because I'm not seeing Persian and Indian sources corroborating his undefeated streak. Its a bunch of greek fanboys who have a cultural reason to elevate Alexander. I'm more inclined to believe that no general has ever come out of their career without losing at least one battle, but if you win a major war of course sources are gonna paint you as a god. Either Alexander AND Khalid and others are undefeated or no one is. You cant have it both ways.
And it had everything as I said in another post: pitched battles, skirmishes, countless duels, generals fighting generals one-on-one, women stabbing men in the face, camels biting horses, generals smack talking and more!
I believe khaalid ibn waleed is the greatest to ever lead a battle, not for his unbeaten record millaterily, but due to his unbeaten duels, be it against the Arabs, Sassnids and Romans. I never seen a commander like this, who exceled on one vs one, and undefeated.
@Florentino Perez no one is fool enough to die for nothing, not the person at levels of Khalid ibn walleed. his desire was to die for his faith and mission. as we can see he did accomplished it with success.
@Florentino Perez They spread islam to the whole middle east, later reaching north Africa and Spain and Iran and Afghanistan, that was the ultimate victory
@@saloua277 well we are seeing today how me, iran and in particularly afganistan are doing great under centuries of islam rule :) ultimate victory belongs to christian west
The translation can be a bit misleading. When it says they love death it is referring to themselves, it means that they would love to die (as martyrs) more than the opposition love to live their lives
I recommend exploring the Battle of Uhud, a historical event where the Muslim army faced defeat against a non-Muslim force. Initially, the non-Muslims were struggling in the war, but with strategic maneuvers led by Khalid ibn Walid, the tide of the battle shifted in their favor. This marked a significant comeback. The defeat of the Muslim army in this battle serves as a lesson, emphasizing the importance of tactics in warfare. It conveys the message that mere devotion to Islam may not guarantee victory; understanding and employing strategic approaches are crucial. The Battle of Uhud underscores the idea that certain natural laws and rules cannot be overcome solely through religious devotion. When you take all logical actions, you can now expect the help of Allah. This should be the approach of Muslims to each challenge they have.
@@mervankadrijovski705you can call those non muslims as Sassanians Or religious wise Zoroastrians If you can remember muslims as one side, then why not the other side???
@@eitantovey2570 real men find it courageous to be prepared to die for ur faith and country rather than a problem. It is the likes of u whom Khalid referred to when he said may the eyes of cowards never sleep
@@sulaiman1630 sure Sulaiman, if that's how you think. My problem with Khalid's statement is that the men specifically love death. Being willing to lay down one's life for their country is admirable, and is not morally corrupt. Intentionally seeking out death for oneself though is a real issue, and leads to more world conflict than anything else in existence today.
I hear people questioning Umar's decision to demote Khalid with some wrongfully accusing him of jealousy while the real reason was to show that all victories are from Allah alone and not some commander, but if we see the bigger picture and take a leaf from Hannibal's history, we can actually see the wisdom behind it. It was said about Hannibal by one of his commanders that he knew how to get victories, but he didn't know how to use them. A similar case can be seen here as well. The end goal was not to just beat large armies into submission and send war booty to Medinah, the main goal was to spread the word of God all over the world. This includes everything, from rules of warfare to rules of administration and even basic day to day life. And Khalid, though an absolute UNIT in warfare, and excellent in administration, lacked the level of knowledge about Islamic rulings and teachings of Prophet ﷺ that Abu Ubaydah had. He was among the firsts to accept Islam, was known for his piety and knowledge of Islam. He was called "The safekeeper of Ummah" by Prophet ﷺ himself. By appointing him as the leader of Muslim front in that region the dynamics of that front is changed from military expedition to inviting more people towards Islam. Hence appointment of Abu Ubaydah was not only justified but also necessary for Islam to flourish in that region.
Best argument for this issue I've ever read in my life! It should also be noted that Khalid tended to take absurdly huge risks in his campaigns while Abu Ubaida was more cautious and wise, we can see clearly an epitome of his wisdom when he appointed Khalid as the overall commander when the need arose. He didn't care about his position, he was wise enough to see the ultimate goal and worked towards achieving it by any means even at the cost of his own reputation and power
@@deeipomar2366 Khalid has stated multiple times that when he goes to battle, he goes wishing death. Dying in battle is all he ever wanted. That was NOT what Omar wanted though for his companions in the army. Omar was a very cautious religious leader, he was scared for the Muslims in Khalid’s army to throw their lives away, and was scared Khalid would lead them to death. Khalid was too risky, and Omar used to cry when he hears Muslims dying in battles. Omar did what he thought was right.
Heard a lot of talk about Khalid on the comment threads for other battles. This is my first time actually seeing him in action. So impressive on so many levels.
And this is his most conservative battle by the way 😂 I suggest you watch the battle of Wallaja, Muzzayah, Al Firaz. If you want to see unorthodox genius tactics. Video: early Muslim expansion by kings and generals
You should watch the battle of Uhud in this channel. It is when Khalid is still not a muslim and he facing Prophet Muhammad and defeated him in that Battle. Imagine. The one who defeated the prophet in a battle later became the most brilliant general Islam ever had.
The last words of Khalid Ibn Waleed.... " Tell all the cowards of the world who are afraid of death that if death had happened on the battlefield, then Khalid would not have died on his deathbed "
The final day of the battle was the most unexpected one that really show Khalid's brilliant mind as military commander. he knew that the Byzantines were expecting the muslim to not attack, so he decided to attack. He knew that the Byzantines were exhausted by the constant battle so he attacked on the flanks with overwhelming cavalry numbers. He truly one of the greatest general of all time
Khalid did everything right. He didn’t make any mistakes. However, for me, this was less one of his masterclasses in strategy, tactics, etc. and more one of him showing sheer force of will and the ability to instill bottomless motivation in his troops. By rights, they’ve should have broken many times, but kept coming on like mad men. Having many of their wives in the camp behind them must have helped a lot too. What man isn’t going to fight like a cornered lion imagining his wife r*ped and sold into slavery if the battle is lost.
@@The_ZeroLine The Arabs should thank their Hasanid brothers, it was they who first fled, leaving a big gap, but who is sorry in the Byzantine army is the Slavs-Federats who fought very well as mercenaries federates. Although the Arabs are great, the victory is hard, but sure. The Byzantine Empire punished itself by simplifying the legions and making out of a great army - detachments of mercenary federates ...
@@The_ZeroLine In 636, the Christian Arabs were the first to flee, in 1071 the Christian Turks were the first to flee. Fun fact. Both battles were a strong blow to the Byzantine Empire. Poorly selected mercenaries)
@@Sigma_man_88 The information is incorrect about the battle, the numbers of the Byzantines reached 400 thousand and the number of Muslims only 38 thousand, and the battle ended in only one day, this is the reality of Yarmouk, but in the videos they brought drama to the battle and made it 6 days, and this is not true, the Arabs crushed the Byzantines in only one day
@@lorenzZ2 Nonsense...An army of 400 thousand troops at that time impossible because of logistic problems. The video shows the truth as much as possible.
@@xIAMxTHATxGUYx yes. Muhammad pbbuh was also a sword. Sent to dispel darkness... to set the ground for final battle... between Jesus pbuh vs Antichrist.
I every time i read about this battle and all the heroes who fallen in it i cry. 100 warriors who fought with our great Prophet himself in the battle of bader were present in this battle. Even my own tribe (Banu Bakr) have lost so many sons in this battle for Islam god is great. We are nothing without Islam we are absolutely nothing
BMA He was given the title by prophet "Sword of Allah"! So he didn't die fighting but on bed with guilt of not dieing in battlefield!! Indeed Sword of Allah couldn't break!!!
We don't care westerners ratings. Muslims are on Top. Since we love for Allah and die for Allah... Every Muslims are as like khalid Bin Walid. Cowards want to live this world but we Muslims want after world.
@@doyouknoworjustbelieve6694 lol it's an Arabic tradition to give nicknames to the people. Like what Prophet Muhammad PBUH gave to Khalid as Sword of the God (Saifullah) as the Prophet named one of his companion as "Abu Huraira" (father of the kitten), as he loved to foster kittens and feed cats. due to the personal attributes of those persons. As all Prophets are rightly guided so Prophet recognized the courage, fighting expertize, leadership of Khalid in the battlefield, so he was nicknamed by the Prophet so. At his death bed, Khalid RA said that there isn't a place on his body that hasn't been wounded, injured during countless battles he had fought throughout his life. No matter how much he craved for the martyrdom, he was disappointed to never get that status due to the fact that the Prophet nicknamed him as the sword of the God. And he died at the ripe age on a bed with no assets to his name.
Props to Abu Ubayda for being super humble instead of an ego to get in the way of good counsel. I mean how many countless times have we seen that happen a general is demoted for being too popular and a lieutenant or rival is promoted? I’m guessing the troops would have followed Khalid (no guarantee though since Ubayda was super respected too) no matter what, but it didn’t need to get there either. Then going out into single battle in his ‘50s like some shit out of Game of Thrones.
It fascinates me how little interest Khalid had in playing the political game. He was a warrior first and foremost and gave very little consideration to the politics of the early Caliphate. He was popular enough across the ranks to take seize control if he'd wanted to, but he died having felt like he was cast aside for simply being great at leading armies. The Sword of Allah is my favorite field marshall ever. His ability to march through desert with ease is nothing short of impressive.
Read the Qur'an, and understand they were the generation that Allah revealed the Qur'an to, so if anyone was to embody the teachings of the Qur’an, it was them. People analyze others from their perspective, so a man of ego and Arrogance will see ego and Arrogance in others, but these flaws don't exist in all men, an unkind man believes all people are unkind, and may see kindness as a weakness, not all men are equal, and only Allah knows what the hearts conceal ☝🏻
What missing here is the fact that Abu Ubayda is a great man known for his humility outside of warfare He didn't even care about status or ranks to begin with
Id like to thank you so much for this video! Id also want to note this: That when day 3 or 5 ended, Khalid changed the troops of his flanks. The left with the right and vice versa. The aim of this was psychological warfare so that the enemy flanks mirroring his army would see new faces/warriors and would believe that the Muslims received reinforcements when they did not. Khalid would have his army hold 2 torches instead of 1 at night to show that reinforcements have arrived and early in the morning he'd have his horses kick the sand to create large clouds of dust showing that reinforcements actually arrived. General Khalid is definitely one of the brightest military minds to ever walk this earth. I read one of the comments below and please please make a long compilation of Khalids military achievements starting from the Sassanids and ending with the yarmouk battles, just like Hannibals video which I watch at least 3 times a year as its one of my fave videos on youtube! Thanks again!

On the fourth day, when Yazid and Abu Ubaidah withdrew, the withdrawal was difficult, and he was saddened by the loss of the left side of the Muslims, but Ikrimah ibn Abi Jahl advanced, saying, “Who pledges allegiance to death?” So he presented with him 500 soldiers and attacked the Romans. They were brave and valiant in fighting until they were all martyred. Honor him from slowing down the Romans so that the Muslims would be able to seek advice and rectify the situation

What the hell did you put uhud for 😡😡😡 it is the battle where he nearly killed the prophet and where many of the prophet's loves ones died plus in the trench he did nothing the prophet was the leader and imam ali killed amr and the trench was suleiman the persian's idea khalid had no role back then. Correct your info. Plus don't dare to celebrate ugud ever again.
Khaled Ibn Al-Walid (the drawn sword of God) He fought about 100 battles with the two largest empires at the time, and was never defeated in his life. “By God, I have brought to you men who love death as you love life.”
one of the most successful military commander, he destroyed the Roman Army several times and also Persian army, and capture the lands known as Iraq and Syria from those defeated armies. he had done, that every warrior can only wish. such a honorable warrior he is. Vahan was against the wrong person to fight against, perhaps he done his best but Khalid was ahead of him in many aspects of war technique.
Vahan's biggest mistake was to offer them Peace, which the Muslims shockingly refused. More than 1300 years' hindsight, it really isn't shocking at all.
@@Troopertroll Why Vahan was in the Battle field? For peace?🤔 Then. 1st he tried to bribe the Khalid Ibn Walid considering him a looter but he was a conqueror. And When he realized he can't win from Outnumbered enemy so he offered 2nd peace. As we know Khalid was Conqueror he refused it and won the Battle and write the history but not as a looter.
@@MAli-rr9km He was on the battlefield to... *checks notes* defend his land that Muslims invaded? Are you asking if general that was trying to stop invasion is there for peace? How about you ask what was Khalid doing there, was he there for peace? What is this strawman logic? I get that you are proud of people that have literally nothing to do with you, but reading most comments in this video, filled mostly with historical revisionists is mindboggling to me.
@@Proph3t3N What a Conqueror has to do with peace? A Conqueror does love all of the world, that's why A Conqueror wishes to Occupy and Rule on everyone. That's what Khalid was doing. Vahan was a hurdle Infront of him and he crushed the Hurdle and Conquer the Roman's lands. That's the straight forward. Is there any difficulty to understand?
@@MAli-rr9km Yea, I do not know why I'm trying to reason with religious zealots. But it's pretty distressing what I just read. Hopefully you will never leave whatever village or far away hole you are typing this from.
The way and short period of conquering the Byzantine and Sassanid empires at the same time is something words can’t describe its greatness and it’s the greatest military campaign of all time
And this brought on what is now called "The Dark Ages" where the rich and learned culture of Late Antiquity was destroyed by a barbarian horde, never to recover. The World would now be 1500 years more advanced than it is if not for the constant jihad and destruction of mostly peaceful civilizations. "Oh but Islamic scholars saved the works of the ancients", not they didn't, the dhimmis managed to hide some things and there rest were in Constantinople - despite the Caliphate's armies working hard to destroy it all as "blasphemy" and "unbelief". This was one on the worst days in human civilizational progress yet the very common false narrative pretends the opposite.
@@sj9367 Well, when one gets into the archeology of the origins of Islam rather than the orthodox narrative that emerged a century later with Caliph Abd Al Malik (and solidified 2 centuries later) a very interesting picture emerges (such as the early mosques having qiblas pointing to Petra in Jordan and only later moving to Mecca - this would make Allah not YHWH but Dushara, and then Islam's commandments make sense, as they are different to those of YHWH). Too bad Muslims never learn the archaeology, as you might moderate the lust for death and mayhem a bit - and the resulting Dark Ages. Sharia is man-made by the way, so while piousness is generally a good thing there are limits. Salaam :)
@@ekoscenter-kw6cg Well that's a dishonest comparison due to the sheer difference in warfare. If we're talking pure achievements Napoleon conquered much more and defeated many more nations/empires. They were both the greatest generals of their respective time and while I love the genius and bravery of Khalid (RA), Napoleon simply achieved much more
@@none2912 Napoleon lost the war. He lost some battle. He didn't need to be on the front. He was not even among the soldiers when they lost to Russia. Charles the III of Sweden was even better than Napoleon. His presence improved the morale.
@@ekoscenter-kw6cg So? It doesn't take away any of his achievements and he was against 2 empires and 4 military powerhouses fighting on 6 fronts at the same time, it was a completely different war and also Khalid while not outright "losing" has had military failures failing to achieve his goal such as Battle of Trenches. I also don't understand this desire for him to fight on the "front", like I stated before musket warfare is completely different and he needs to employ his strategies by overseeing the whole battlefield, we're talking about feats and military tactical prowess not bravery which he still was a charismatic and committed leader Charles is noway near the level of Napoleon and his achievements nor does any historian agree with you, the reason you say this was due to his reckleness in thrusting himself in battle paralleled with Khalid's. In fact the reason Khalid would fight in the front is that he wished to die fighting for the sake of Allah and die on the battlefied. Napoleon singlehandedly expanded French territory across all of Europe establishing client states and introducing the Napoleonic Code that would have legalistic implication up until today. Khalid was a tactical genius but lacking in strategy and if it wasn't for Abu Ubaydah he would not have been able to establish states under Islam
Trust me, the victories of khalid will make cartoon main characters feel more realistic To balance thing out, historians need to stretch their imagination and downplay the numbers of the opponents and keep giving reasons to justify the loss There is reason why no muslim population against Umar's decision to demote khalid and later banned him from any military involvement, to prevent the population from being fanatics like the roman whom treat Julius caeser as deity due to his success.
Khalid marches through desert without water, Hannibal marches through the alps, both masters in envelopment and cavalry tactics, man the "Romans" really can't catch a break...
Can you imagine being on a forced march to your impending doom while having to drink water that was sitting in a camels stomach for a few days in the desert. And here I am complaining about the water buffalo tasting funny.
@@Jay514-kw7om no,they ran out of water and were left with no chice except to drink from camels,and it is no surprise if arabs from desert of that time do it....
There are more than 200K armies of romans there... I read the script but christians seem to be very shy to admit it then they reduce the numbers in the history... If there are only 40K armies, never in history the soldiers of muslim said "what a big number of armies right there" Then Khalid said "It is not numbers who define the big or small armies, it's the number of the winning on the battlefield, they are losers, we are the winner"
This was the 600s, and the Byzantines just got through a devastating war with the Sasanians. There is no possible way there were 200,000 Romans under arms in any battle.
@@xenon_silva Wikipedia even says "ancient sources" when describing those numbers. I would think you'd be smart enough to realize that scholars in the 600s probably weren't the most accurate individuals.
So unreal... Khalid ibn al-Waleed never lost a battle when he leads. On top of that, 95% of these battles his opponents were numerically superior in number and have better quality of war equipements. It just beyond human comprehension!!
What more can be said beyond the accolades that have been given concerning Khalid ibn Waleed….I chose the name Saiful-Islam because of Khalid when I embraced Islam in 1975….definitely one of the best military commanders of all time across generations….as well it is Khalid prowess that causes The Battle of Uhud to be as hotly contested as it was….Khalid ibn Waleed, Saifullaah, The Sword of God…may he be at rest in his grave and granted paradise on the last day in which there is no doubt, Ameen
Love you Military Marche for battle of Yarmouk Again, Military history is my favorite subject & This Man Khalid ibn AL walid is kind of super hero for me.. He destroyed & defeated two super power's of that time when no one think of Arabs more then bandits.. So thanks again ❤️
That final day of the battle is wow with how depleted Khalid's army was I'm surprised the left flank didnt disintegrate before his charge could defeat the roman army amazing.
How do you Drink from camles? They don't Store extra water. Their humps are full of fat. They conserve water better in their blood and intestines. So they either drank water from the stomach, which would be filled with digestive enzymes and Not drinkable or from the entestines. Or do you mean the Urine, which dehydrates you even more, AS Urine is a waste product.
Unfortunately that wasn't a joke! Because Christian Byzantium ultimately failed and Constantinople was lost for the Christians. Also unfortunately, the British and French victors of the First World War did not procure Constantinople and the other former Greek territories of Asia Minor to the Greeks.
@25:38 "The next day, Vahan persisted with the same battle plan." Reminds me of Lee at Gettysburg. Beaten back the previous two days, he doubled down with Picket's charge.
He should be atleast Napoleon or Hannibal skill tier commander tbh And maybe higher since he doesn’t lose any battle and always jumps where the fighting is the thickest to die a warriors death (unsuccessful)
BTW, Khalid is amazing, but I wouldn’t call this situation all odds being against him until what was it day 4, but rather solidly not in his favor. Because as we’ve seen when armies this large fight, if you punch just one big hole you can send an army 3-4x your size routing. It’s when you get into an exhausting day long battle that numbers tend to tell. The first day’s fighting wasn’t a pitched battle. After that, this has got be one of the most epic battles of all time. Both these armies were tough as nails. As of day 5, the odds really were totally against Khalid.
@Florentino Perez Khalid RA is way above Subutai. Subutai was given army over 100k troops, always outnumbering their enemy and mongols used tactic of fear to kill everyone civilians kids elderly and women. That had an insane psychological impact. However Subutai did lost a couple of battles against Chinese. While Khalid always had less troops and resources and won battles on shear genius tactics and bravery, always leading from the front and never losing a battle against the far ahead superpowers like Romans and Persians.
Really want to read these when the British Empire destroys the Ottoman Empire during the first world war lmao. Or when the Russians did it...or the Austrians...or the poles...or even the portuguese, or...nevermind.
Some cool tidbits about Zirrar/Dirrar: -he fought topless and without a shield -he killed 36 commanders in duels at Ajnadayn, not Yarmouk as the video says -he blocked the enemy retreat at yarmouk -he killed over 100 men at the siege of Oxyrhynchus Bahnasa -he died 4-5 years after the battle of yarmouk shown in the video, of the plague
Thank you khalid and your troops. Without your sacrifices, we wouldn't have been here. May your brave souls rest in peace. Full respect to your brave souls, to your shed blood. ❤
“When I am in the battlefield, I love it more than my wedding night with the most beautiful of women” Khalid ibn Al-Walid. Commander of Rashidun Army. Fought 100 battles undefeated with 2 world superpowers. Always outnumbered but never outgunned.
First of all he wasn’t always outnumbered. Second of all there are many other commanders which were undefeated like Scipio Africanus, Alexander the Great and Timur of the Timurid empire. Third of all, I don’t believe he actually fought in a hundred battles but I do believe it was close to that number
Fourth, those superpowers weren’t even superpowers anymore as they were at war for decades, their numbers were depleted, the common people were tired etc.
Plus, weren’t Allah and Muhammad supposed to be the lovers of peace and unity? But Khalid was a conqueror, pillager and slaughterer? How does that make him the sword bearer of Allah? And he is also supposed to have been the companion of Muhammad? Sounds like bs to me
Bro all of history is slowly being dumbed down and carefully written in America these days. So many important historical events/ people/ places i read about or see now i never even heard about in school 10 15 years ago
What kind of empires? Rome was defeated by the Romans themselves, the Sassanids were in a civil war for the throne. Well, you won the recumbent one, be proud!)
Romans were more than 200k, but the christian historians felt shame and reduced the numbers, and If there number was really 40k the war would have ended in 1 day. Khalid Ibn Al Waleed was a real warrior, out beloved Prophet gave him the title of "The Sword of Allah". He fought 100 wars and won all.
Khalid was a military genious. He was godlike tactician and great to time management especially to spot the critical moments and the necessary moves in order to keep his lines or to destroy the enemy ones. I think it remembers me Subutai who won countless battles and campains under the Jenkins Chan rule. He was also very adaptive like Velisarius and had the same fate like Velisarius: he got attention by jealous leaders and other commanders who feared his fame and legendary victories. On the other hand the backbone of his army in this fight were ...arab women who threatened their sons and husbands in order to keep the line. I think this was almost hilarious and this happened at least twice near their camps when arab fighters were ready to collapse.
Most of companion and advisors understood that khalid's removal is necessary in the long run Unlike hannibal whom achievement didn't gain anything, khalid's one cemented and last until today
Extremely was a magnificent & amazing historical coverage of Yarmuk battles and accurate evaluating about a brilliant & remarkable leading of Khalid ebn Walid ...History Marche channel always introduces excellent History coverage videos ...at that times both eastern Roman empire ( Byzantine empire )and its classic competitive (Ssassanian empire) were in death ( decline) phased....
Congratulations. Your piece is the clear cut,straightforward, & genuine narration. Kudos to you and your team. I m impressed with reason you mentioned about khalid's demotion
It is said an officer named George came from the Roman line and called Khalid out for a one to one battle but instead he asked him about Islam. He accepted Islam and fought with the Muslims he became a martyr that day.
Show me a commander in history, won all the wars when outnumbered, less trained, less equipped armies. This makes Khalid the greatest of all time. I respect Cesar or Subutai as commanders, but they were not winning like Khalid.
Only if you believe the blatant over exaggeration by Arab sources. Byzantine financial records as well as official reports state they had around 150k soldiers b4 the Persian war and by 641, 5 years after yarmouk, they still had 109k soldiers left. Both their eastern armies (a total of 50k soldiers b4 the persian war) was also still standing, meanwhile the Avars in the western front destroyed 1 of the 2 standing armies in the west and conquered much of byzantium European territory.
Also Byzantium field armies were 15-25k not 40k-200k, as evident by Justinian decades b4 sending 17k army to conquer and garrison the entire North African province and around 20-25k to do the same in Italy. The Byzantine military manual the strategikon also gave an example of a gigantic 35k army being fielded by the Roman's of old but something that is no longer possible in their own time.
@@JoshuaBernabe-mc4sqthe Romans and Persians on whatever accounts still have more soldiers, equipments, experiences, trainings, etc. The soldiers were paid professionals.
Unlikely it was ever said. Most of these famous lines said pre/during battle were invented post facto by historians for obvious reasons. However, this entire week-long battle was so epic it really doesn’t require any embellishment.
HistoryMarche Akbar! Forgot this video is two old episodes stitched together. Still, this battle had everything: one of the best commanders in history, champions fighting in single combat, generals fighting in single combat, skirmishes, pitched battles, women fighting, camels biting horses. Both these armies were as tough as diamond nails. Can’t recall seeing many battles that lasted for almost a week.
Byzantines and other non muslim forces had heavy weapons,greater armies,more disciplined maneuvers.But the muslims had the faith on The Almighty Allah that gave them x100 moral buffs to win the wars at last.
It may win battles, but winning wars requires the full support of one's Population. Raising multiple armies, logistics, Unity factor, Justice system, morale etc. all count
بحسب المصادر الإسلامية الموثوقة فإن عدد الجيش البيزنطي هو بين 200 - 240 ألف مقاتل أما جيش الخلافة الراشدة فهو لا يتجاوز 40 ألف مقاتل. وهذا يفسر لنا . كيف أن طول الجبهة كان هو 10 أميال وأيضا كان تقابل صفوف الجيشين لضمان عدم إلتفاف أي جيش على الآخر وتطويقه من الخلف. ولكن لماذا أغفلت الرواية كتيبة الموت التي تشكلت أثناء القتال في اليوم الثالث والتي كانت مكونة من 400 فارس في جيش الخلافة الراشدة. وتم قتل جميع من فيها أثناء توغلهم في قلب الجيش البيزنطي. وذلك لإشغال المشاة والخيالة البيزنطيين عن أجنحة جيش الخلافة الراشدة وصد تكتيكاتهم وتخفيف الضغط لمنع خطر إلتفاف والمحاولة المتكررة في تطويق الجيش البيزنطي لجيش الخلافة الراشدة.

That is a pretty good statement 👌

Facts. The double standards, hypocrisy and lack of education is insane as usual.
He learned from his campaigned against the persian/sasanid that the enemy will regroup or fight another day when they escape the battlefield
When death approached Khaalid Bin al-Waleed and he realised that, he wept and said: "I witnessed such and such battles, and there is no place on my body the size of a handspan that has not received a blow from a sword or been pierced by an arrow or hit by spear. But here I am, dying on my bed as a camel dies. May the cowards eyes never sleep. I sought death in the places where it may be sought, but it was only decreed that I should die on my own bed.” [Siyar A’laam An-Nubula’, 1/382]

Abu Ubayda ra is one of the senior companions of the prophet pbuh. He has a very high status in Islamic history. He later became the governor of the Levant (Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria)
One time the Caliph (Umar) visited him and saw him living in a straw hut on the outskirts of Damascus with nothing in the Hut but a prayer mat and bread crumbs for food. The governor of what used to be the most prosperous province of the Roman empire, and one of the most prosperous of the Islamic Caliphate.
Umar ra said: “O Abu Ubaidah! The life of this dunya (world) has changed all of us but I swear upon Allah that you are just the same as you were in the time of the Prophet pbuh“

@@pauldorfman701 Everything he said is correct, the Byzantines had the numbers, they where better equipped and had experienced leadership.
I fail to see where he got carried away. Clearly the Arabs showed great courage and incredible brilliance in their leadership. Trying to diminish their achievement is petty and a disgrace.
However, there appear to be numerous mistakes on Vahan’s part out of I can only imagine sheer arrogance and being baited. The one on one’s with officers being killed in front of their troops not just damaged morale, but also troop cohesion and discipline. Furthermore I feel Vahan misused his cavalry (by keeping them in reserve instead of exploiting frequently exposures and openings) and the four divisions each working on their own, rather than coordinating and supporting one another. There were moments, as portrayed here, where Khalid could have found himself surrounded by cataphracts, overextended and alone, but the cavalry stood back to only aid their own sections. So although Khalid ultimately outwitted his opponent, his opponent allowed it by a string of bad decisions.
*"If you refuse, there can only be war between us... and you will face men who love death as you love life."* how much of a badass can you be?

No other man has simultaneously destroyed the two greatest empires of the time in the span of a few years…
One could argue Genghis Khan did it too
Romans weren't "destroyed" they outlived all caliphates and the greatest empire of that period was Tang China
That is a lie and is downplaying the genius of Walid and the tenacity of the Arabs at the time. Both the Sassanian and Roman empires were weaker at the time but still the most powerful nations in the world and far stronger than the newly formed umayaad caliphate.
true, he achieved what other can dream of.
@Florentino Perez arabs also were exhausted from years of civil war called ridda war. also the romans and sassanids still had a lot more population and resources
This is one of the most hard fought field battles prior to the gunpower age. Several DAYS of exhaustive fighting that included a whole day of rest because both sides were pushed to their limits. The Romans had the edge in most of the engagements but failed to deal a decisive blow. The Arab commander was very smart to give Khalid operational command. One of the most impressive battlefield achievements and just one of Khalid's tactical masterpieces.
It is rare to see such unbiased opinion when it comes to Khalid, westerners always have a knee-jerk reaction and dismiss Muslim achievement to the two empires just being tired.
Thank you.
@@lordshang8838 I'm american and khalid is my favorite general ever. The sword of allah deserves much more recognition. He's just as amazing as hannibal or alexander.
You have to keep in mind the... lets call it "tradition of historical story telling" in the early islamic culture. So many of the important battles of the Arabs during that time supposedly took several days, (despite this beeing super rare) included single combat (which the Arabs usually won) and clever trickery by the Arabs.
Its almost formulaic, and therefore not really believable. I guess we can trust the claims about who won the battles, but as soon as you see those elements, you should realize that its an islamic source, and therefore be sceptical about any details.
@@Omega0850 i've heard this pushback before and I think it's dishonest. If we're gonna say that propoganda plays a role in recording military history you better be dismissing Alexander's unbeaten record because I'm not seeing Persian and Indian sources corroborating his undefeated streak. Its a bunch of greek fanboys who have a cultural reason to elevate Alexander. I'm more inclined to believe that no general has ever come out of their career without losing at least one battle, but if you win a major war of course sources are gonna paint you as a god. Either Alexander AND Khalid and others are undefeated or no one is. You cant have it both ways.
And it had everything as I said in another post: pitched battles, skirmishes, countless duels, generals fighting generals one-on-one, women stabbing men in the face, camels biting horses, generals smack talking and more!
I believe khaalid ibn waleed is the greatest to ever lead a battle, not for his unbeaten record millaterily, but due to his unbeaten duels, be it against the Arabs, Sassnids and Romans. I never seen a commander like this, who exceled on one vs one, and undefeated.

I recommend exploring the Battle of Uhud, a historical event where the Muslim army faced defeat against a non-Muslim force. Initially, the non-Muslims were struggling in the war, but with strategic maneuvers led by Khalid ibn Walid, the tide of the battle shifted in their favor. This marked a significant comeback. The defeat of the Muslim army in this battle serves as a lesson, emphasizing the importance of tactics in warfare. It conveys the message that mere devotion to Islam may not guarantee victory; understanding and employing strategic approaches are crucial. The Battle of Uhud underscores the idea that certain natural laws and rules cannot be overcome solely through religious devotion.
When you take all logical actions, you can now expect the help of Allah. This should be the approach of Muslims to each challenge they have.

@@sulaiman1630 sure Sulaiman, if that's how you think.
My problem with Khalid's statement is that the men specifically love death. Being willing to lay down one's life for their country is admirable, and is not morally corrupt. Intentionally seeking out death for oneself though is a real issue, and leads to more world conflict than anything else in existence today.
I hear people questioning Umar's decision to demote Khalid with some wrongfully accusing him of jealousy while the real reason was to show that all victories are from Allah alone and not some commander, but if we see the bigger picture and take a leaf from Hannibal's history, we can actually see the wisdom behind it. It was said about Hannibal by one of his commanders that he knew how to get victories, but he didn't know how to use them. A similar case can be seen here as well.
The end goal was not to just beat large armies into submission and send war booty to Medinah, the main goal was to spread the word of God all over the world. This includes everything, from rules of warfare to rules of administration and even basic day to day life. And Khalid, though an absolute UNIT in warfare, and excellent in administration, lacked the level of knowledge about Islamic rulings and teachings of Prophet ﷺ that Abu Ubaydah had. He was among the firsts to accept Islam, was known for his piety and knowledge of Islam. He was called "The safekeeper of Ummah" by Prophet ﷺ himself. By appointing him as the leader of Muslim front in that region the dynamics of that front is changed from military expedition to inviting more people towards Islam. Hence appointment of Abu Ubaydah was not only justified but also necessary for Islam to flourish in that region.
Best argument for this issue I've ever read in my life!
It should also be noted that Khalid tended to take absurdly huge risks in his campaigns while Abu Ubaida was more cautious and wise, we can see clearly an epitome of his wisdom when he appointed Khalid as the overall commander when the need arose. He didn't care about his position, he was wise enough to see the ultimate goal and worked towards achieving it by any means even at the cost of his own reputation and power
You are absolutely right
@@deeipomar2366 Khalid has stated multiple times that when he goes to battle, he goes wishing death. Dying in battle is all he ever wanted. That was NOT what Omar wanted though for his companions in the army. Omar was a very cautious religious leader, he was scared for the Muslims in Khalid’s army to throw their lives away, and was scared Khalid would lead them to death. Khalid was too risky, and Omar used to cry when he hears Muslims dying in battles.

The final day of the battle was the most unexpected one that really show Khalid's brilliant mind as military commander. he knew that the Byzantines were expecting the muslim to not attack, so he decided to attack. He knew that the Byzantines were exhausted by the constant battle so he attacked on the flanks with overwhelming cavalry numbers. He truly one of the greatest general of all time
Khalid did everything right. He didn’t make any mistakes. However, for me, this was less one of his masterclasses in strategy, tactics, etc. and more one of him showing sheer force of will and the ability to instill bottomless motivation in his troops. By rights, they’ve should have broken many times, but kept coming on like mad men. Having many of their wives in the camp behind them must have helped a lot too. What man isn’t going to fight like a cornered lion imagining his wife r*ped and sold into slavery if the battle is lost.

Man Khalid surely must be the most underrated commander in history. What a monster

He was given the title by prophet "Sword of Allah"!
So he didn't die fighting but on bed with guilt of not dieing in battlefield!!
Indeed Sword of Allah couldn't break!!!

Sword of Allah?
Is Allah a warlord?
@doyouknoworjustbelieve6694 Allah us God
Translated to English, his Nick name was &The Sword of God*
@@doyouknoworjustbelieve6694 lol it's an Arabic tradition to give nicknames to the people. Like what Prophet Muhammad PBUH gave to Khalid as Sword of the God (Saifullah) as the Prophet named one of his companion as "Abu Huraira" (father of the kitten), as he loved to foster kittens and feed cats. due to the personal attributes of those persons.
As all Prophets are rightly guided so Prophet recognized the courage, fighting expertize, leadership of Khalid in the battlefield, so he was nicknamed by the Prophet so.
At his death bed, Khalid RA said that there isn't a place on his body that hasn't been wounded, injured during countless battles he had fought throughout his life. No matter how much he craved for the martyrdom, he was disappointed to never get that status due to the fact that the Prophet nicknamed him as the sword of the God. And he died at the ripe age on a bed with no assets to his name.

Props to Abu Ubayda for being super humble instead of an ego to get in the way of good counsel. I mean how many countless times have we seen that happen a general is demoted for being too popular and a lieutenant or rival is promoted? I’m guessing the troops would have followed Khalid (no guarantee though since Ubayda was super respected too) no matter what, but it didn’t need to get there either. Then going out into single battle in his ‘50s like some shit out of Game of Thrones.
It fascinates me how little interest Khalid had in playing the political game. He was a warrior first and foremost and gave very little consideration to the politics of the early Caliphate. He was popular enough across the ranks to take seize control if he'd wanted to, but he died having felt like he was cast aside for simply being great at leading armies. The Sword of Allah is my favorite field marshall ever. His ability to march through desert with ease is nothing short of impressive.
@@geordiejones5618 And died penniless to boot because he cared so little for wealth. He had wisdom.
Read the Qur'an, and understand they were the generation that Allah revealed the Qur'an to, so if anyone was to embody the teachings of the Qur’an, it was them. People analyze others from their perspective, so a man of ego and Arrogance will see ego and Arrogance in others, but these flaws don't exist in all men, an unkind man believes all people are unkind, and may see kindness as a weakness, not all men are equal, and only Allah knows what the hearts conceal ☝🏻
What missing here is the fact that Abu Ubayda is a great man known for his humility outside of warfare
He didn't even care about status or ranks to begin with
@@asmrnaturecat984 I gathered that more and more as the video went on.
Id like to thank you so much for this video! Id also want to note this: That when day 3 or 5 ended, Khalid changed the troops of his flanks. The left with the right and vice versa. The aim of this was psychological warfare so that the enemy flanks mirroring his army would see new faces/warriors and would believe that the Muslims received reinforcements when they did not. Khalid would have his army hold 2 torches instead of 1 at night to show that reinforcements have arrived and early in the morning he'd have his horses kick the sand to create large clouds of dust showing that reinforcements actually arrived. General Khalid is definitely one of the brightest military minds to ever walk this earth. I read one of the comments below and please please make a long compilation of Khalids military achievements starting from the Sassanids and ending with the yarmouk battles, just like Hannibals video which I watch at least 3 times a year as its one of my fave videos on youtube! Thanks again!
This is the truly inspiring strategic thinking I wish we could learn more about. Battles are won before any soldier steps on the field.
I would like to say that what you say is correct, but he did so in his first battle, not in the Battle of Yarmouk

Greatest general ever not only for military mind but look at the amount single duels he had with other generals
On the fourth day, when Yazid and Abu Ubaidah withdrew, the withdrawal was difficult, and he was saddened by the loss of the left side of the Muslims, but Ikrimah ibn Abi Jahl advanced, saying, “Who pledges allegiance to death?” So he presented with him 500 soldiers and attacked the Romans. They were brave and valiant in fighting until they were all martyred. Honor him from slowing down the Romans so that the Muslims would be able to seek advice and rectify the situation

Correct your info. Plus don't dare to celebrate ugud ever again.
Khalid didn’t participate in battle of the trench
@@ahmedabboh9583 He did, but did not do anything significant there.
Khalid ibn al walid was one of the greatest warrior and general of all time and one of the most underrated
Khaled Ibn Al-Walid (the drawn sword of God)
He fought about 100 battles with the two largest empires at the time, and was never defeated in his life.
“By God, I have brought to you men who love death as you love life.”
This is the best series HistoryMarche ever produced. I often go back to watching it. I really hope they produce more of Khalid’s battles.
one of the most successful military commander, he destroyed the Roman Army several times and also Persian army, and capture the lands known as Iraq and Syria from those defeated armies. he had done, that every warrior can only wish. such a honorable warrior he is. Vahan was against the wrong person to fight against, perhaps he done his best but Khalid was ahead of him in many aspects of war technique.
Vahan's biggest mistake was to offer them Peace, which the Muslims shockingly refused. More than 1300 years' hindsight, it really isn't shocking at all.
@@Troopertroll Why Vahan was in the Battle field? For peace?🤔 Then. 1st he tried to bribe the Khalid Ibn Walid considering him a looter but he was a conqueror. And When he realized he can't win from Outnumbered enemy so he offered 2nd peace. As we know Khalid was Conqueror he refused it and won the Battle and write the history but not as a looter.
@@MAli-rr9km He was on the battlefield to... *checks notes* defend his land that Muslims invaded? Are you asking if general that was trying to stop invasion is there for peace? How about you ask what was Khalid doing there, was he there for peace? What is this strawman logic? I get that you are proud of people that have literally nothing to do with you, but reading most comments in this video, filled mostly with historical revisionists is mindboggling to me.
@@Proph3t3N What a Conqueror has to do with peace? A Conqueror does love all of the world, that's why A Conqueror wishes to Occupy and Rule on everyone. That's what Khalid was doing. Vahan was a hurdle Infront of him and he crushed the Hurdle and Conquer the Roman's lands. That's the straight forward. Is there any difficulty to understand?
@@MAli-rr9km Yea, I do not know why I'm trying to reason with religious zealots. But it's pretty distressing what I just read. Hopefully you will never leave whatever village or far away hole you are typing this from.
The way and short period of conquering the Byzantine and Sassanid empires at the same time is something words can’t describe its greatness and it’s the greatest military campaign of all time
His army is twice as small as their enemy. And He took the victory by force His tactic was amazing
Khalid is a key that opened Lands for the Arabs & Muslims.❤ His military brilliance is top notch
And this brought on what is now called "The Dark Ages" where the rich and learned culture of Late Antiquity was destroyed by a barbarian horde, never to recover. The World would now be 1500 years more advanced than it is if not for the constant jihad and destruction of mostly peaceful civilizations. "Oh but Islamic scholars saved the works of the ancients", not they didn't, the dhimmis managed to hide some things and there rest were in Constantinople - despite the Caliphate's armies working hard to destroy it all as "blasphemy" and "unbelief". This was one on the worst days in human civilizational progress yet the very common false narrative pretends the opposite.
He would have slapped you for giving him credit thats rightfully due to Allah only.
@@sj9367 Well, when one gets into the archeology of the origins of Islam rather than the orthodox narrative that emerged a century later with Caliph Abd Al Malik (and solidified 2 centuries later) a very interesting picture emerges (such as the early mosques having qiblas pointing to Petra in Jordan and only later moving to Mecca - this would make Allah not YHWH but Dushara, and then Islam's commandments make sense, as they are different to those of YHWH). Too bad Muslims never learn the archaeology, as you might moderate the lust for death and mayhem a bit - and the resulting Dark Ages. Sharia is man-made by the way, so while piousness is generally a good thing there are limits. Salaam :)
Khalid and Hannibal are my two favourite leaders. Their tales are legendary.
Always a pleasure HM, thank you for keeping History alive. Keep up the good work guys.
Khalid was probably the greatest general to ever grace the battle field a tactical genius,motivator and fearless
Napoleon has more feats
@@none2912Napoleon didn't lead from the front, didn't do personal duel. Khalid was not only a genius tactician but also a fearless duelist soldier.
@@ekoscenter-kw6cg Well that's a dishonest comparison due to the sheer difference in warfare. If we're talking pure achievements Napoleon conquered much more and defeated many more nations/empires. They were both the greatest generals of their respective time and while I love the genius and bravery of Khalid (RA), Napoleon simply achieved much more
@@none2912 Napoleon lost the war. He lost some battle. He didn't need to be on the front. He was not even among the soldiers when they lost to Russia. Charles the III of Sweden was even better than Napoleon. His presence improved the morale.
@@ekoscenter-kw6cg So? It doesn't take away any of his achievements and he was against 2 empires and 4 military powerhouses fighting on 6 fronts at the same time, it was a completely different war and also Khalid while not outright "losing" has had military failures failing to achieve his goal such as Battle of Trenches. I also don't understand this desire for him to fight on the "front", like I stated before musket warfare is completely different and he needs to employ his strategies by overseeing the whole battlefield, we're talking about feats and military tactical prowess not bravery which he still was a charismatic and committed leader
Charles is noway near the level of Napoleon and his achievements nor does any historian agree with you, the reason you say this was due to his reckleness in thrusting himself in battle paralleled with Khalid's.
In fact the reason Khalid would fight in the front is that he wished to die fighting for the sake of Allah and die on the battlefied.
Napoleon singlehandedly expanded French territory across all of Europe establishing client states and introducing the Napoleonic Code that would have legalistic implication up until today. Khalid was a tactical genius but lacking in strategy and if it wasn't for Abu Ubaydah he would not have been able to establish states under Islam
I'd love to see a whole show on khalid.
Pretty much like how you did to Hannibal (Brilliant btw)
I'm still surprised how other generals were covered with their own videos, but not khaalid ibn Waleed.
100%
Trust me, the victories of khalid will make cartoon main characters feel more realistic
To balance thing out, historians need to stretch their imagination and downplay the numbers of the opponents and keep giving reasons to justify the loss
There is reason why no muslim population against Umar's decision to demote khalid and later banned him from any military involvement, to prevent the population from being fanatics like the roman whom treat Julius caeser as deity due to his success.
Look for the kings and generals video about early Islamic conquest
@@asmrnaturecat984 it's sad knowing about the downplay number like you mentioned, hope the balancing thing is not just for biased reason

There are more than 200K armies of romans there... I read the script but christians seem to be very shy to admit it then they reduce the numbers in the history... If there are only 40K armies, never in history the soldiers of muslim said "what a big number of armies right there"
Then Khalid said "It is not numbers who define the big or small armies, it's the number of the winning on the battlefield, they are losers, we are the winner"
Exactly. There were 250k Romans and only 40k muslims in the war
This was the 600s, and the Byzantines just got through a devastating war with the Sasanians. There is no possible way there were 200,000 Romans under arms in any battle.
@@Dekline25 then why does Wikipedia say so?
@@xenon_silva Wikipedia even says "ancient sources" when describing those numbers. I would think you'd be smart enough to realize that scholars in the 600s probably weren't the most accurate individuals.

How do you Drink from camles? They don't Store extra water. Their humps are full of fat. They conserve water better in their blood and intestines.

@@leonvoelker7639 I think they drank it from the stomach or intestines. What I want to say is they were way outmatched by the Persians and Romans
How he did that
Unfortunately that wasn't a joke! Because Christian Byzantium ultimately failed and Constantinople was lost for the Christians. Also unfortunately, the British and French victors of the First World War did not procure Constantinople and the other former Greek territories of Asia Minor to the Greeks.
@25:38 "The next day, Vahan persisted with the same battle plan." Reminds me of Lee at Gettysburg. Beaten back the previous two days, he doubled down with Picket's charge.
Crazy battle ,All odds were against him yet Khalid still won the battle
He should be atleast Napoleon or Hannibal skill tier commander tbh
And maybe higher since he doesn’t lose any battle and always jumps where the fighting is the thickest to die a warriors death (unsuccessful)
He psyched out Yahan. I love hearing details of generals sh*t talking even if most of it usually never happened.
BTW, Khalid is amazing, but I wouldn’t call this situation all odds being against him until what was it day 4, but rather solidly not in his favor. Because as we’ve seen when armies this large fight, if you punch just one big hole you can send an army 3-4x your size routing. It’s when you get into an exhausting day long battle that numbers tend to tell. The first day’s fighting wasn’t a pitched battle. After that, this has got be one of the most epic battles of all time. Both these armies were tough as nails. As of day 5, the odds really were totally against Khalid.
Putting your ladies in the camp behind you is a great way to ensure the men fight to the death and for all they’re worth.
@Florentino Perez Khalid RA is way above Subutai. Subutai was given army over 100k troops, always outnumbering their enemy and mongols used tactic of fear to kill everyone civilians kids elderly and women. That had an insane psychological impact. However Subutai did lost a couple of battles against Chinese. While Khalid always had less troops and resources and won battles on shear genius tactics and bravery, always leading from the front and never losing a battle against the far ahead superpowers like Romans and Persians.

“When I am in the battlefield, I love it more than my wedding night with the most beautiful of women”
Khalid ibn Al-Walid.
Commander of Rashidun Army. Fought 100 battles undefeated with 2 world superpowers.
Always outnumbered but never outgunned.
Sayyidina Khalid Ibnu Al Walid "Saifullah Al Maslul" (The Sword bearer of Allah) Radhi Allahu 'anhu.
First of all he wasn’t always outnumbered. Second of all there are many other commanders which were undefeated like Scipio Africanus, Alexander the Great and Timur of the Timurid empire. Third of all, I don’t believe he actually fought in a hundred battles but I do believe it was close to that number
Fourth, those superpowers weren’t even superpowers anymore as they were at war for decades, their numbers were depleted, the common people were tired etc.
Plus, weren’t Allah and Muhammad supposed to be the lovers of peace and unity? But Khalid was a conqueror, pillager and slaughterer? How does that make him the sword bearer of Allah? And he is also supposed to have been the companion of Muhammad? Sounds like bs to me
How many weddings did he have? Khalid seemed like a man who only had time for military matters and helping the people.
Western world seems to ignore the fact that Islam was once a superpower crushing down two previous superpowers The Roman and Sasanid Empire
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
For almost 800 years from 700 to 1600 (Golden age of Islam)
they know !
Bro all of history is slowly being dumbed down and carefully written in America these days. So many important historical events/ people/ places i read about or see now i never even heard about in school 10 15 years ago
What kind of empires? Rome was defeated by the Romans themselves, the Sassanids were in a civil war for the throne. Well, you won the recumbent one, be proud!)
Romans were more than 200k, but the christian historians felt shame and reduced the numbers, and If there number was really 40k the war would have ended in 1 day.
Khalid Ibn Al Waleed was a real warrior, out beloved Prophet gave him the title of "The Sword of Allah". He fought 100 wars and won all.
absloutely correct
Exactly
That's Fuct
why not 2.5 million? lets make it 10 million actually to have better odds right?...
I think it's logistically impossible to have 200k
Khalid was a military genious.
He was godlike tactician and great to time management especially to spot the critical moments and the necessary moves in order to keep his lines or to destroy the enemy ones. I think it remembers me Subutai who won countless battles and campains under the Jenkins Chan rule.
He was also very adaptive like Velisarius and had the same fate like Velisarius: he got attention by jealous leaders and other commanders who feared his fame and legendary victories.
On the other hand the backbone of his army in this fight were ...arab women who threatened their sons and husbands in order to keep the line. I think this was almost hilarious and this happened at least twice near their camps when arab fighters were ready to collapse.
Umar wasn't jealous of him! We have different considerations than you.
Most of companion and advisors understood that khalid's removal is necessary in the long run
Unlike hannibal whom achievement didn't gain anything, khalid's one cemented and last until today
God is nothing like Him
He's not Godlike
He is a slave of God.
Extremely was a magnificent & amazing historical coverage of Yarmuk battles and accurate evaluating about a brilliant & remarkable leading of Khalid ebn Walid ...History Marche channel always introduces excellent History coverage videos ...at that times both eastern Roman empire ( Byzantine empire )and its classic competitive (Ssassanian empire) were in death ( decline) phased....

Game changer in Levant. Certainly made a lasting impact on the region for ages to come.
“May the eyes of cowards never sleep”
Aaameen.
It is said an officer named George came from the Roman line and called Khalid out for a one to one battle but instead he asked him about Islam. He accepted Islam and fought with the Muslims he became a martyr that day.
True words
This seem like he got converted by priest on age of empire LMAO
Show me a commander in history, won all the wars when outnumbered, less trained, less equipped armies. This makes Khalid the greatest of all time. I respect Cesar or Subutai as commanders, but they were not winning like Khalid.
Only if you believe the blatant over exaggeration by Arab sources. Byzantine financial records as well as official reports state they had around 150k soldiers b4 the Persian war and by 641, 5 years after yarmouk, they still had 109k soldiers left. Both their eastern armies (a total of 50k soldiers b4 the persian war) was also still standing, meanwhile the Avars in the western front destroyed 1 of the 2 standing armies in the west and conquered much of byzantium European territory.
Also Byzantium field armies were 15-25k not 40k-200k, as evident by Justinian decades b4 sending 17k army to conquer and garrison the entire North African province and around 20-25k to do the same in Italy. The Byzantine military manual the strategikon also gave an example of a gigantic 35k army being fielded by the Roman's of old but something that is no longer possible in their own time.

Hahahaha in your dreams😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂
@@PualClinton-qc3ru you do not know history. So shut up and hide your ignorance...
You’re the best! Still waiting for more Khalid’s battles as you promised.
😂 Same here 😂
I don’t boring as hell
@@ninohergotic1 Salty. Khalid>All Croatians/Balkans that have ever lived
@@ninohergotic1halid was a million times a man you could never be, you are merely a male. Put respect where it is due.
@@ninohergotic1 Ottoman empire took the whole Balkans for hundreds of years, humble yourself .And purify your tongue before speaking about Khalid
HistoryMarche Akbar! Forgot this video is two old episodes stitched together. Still, this battle had everything: one of the best commanders in history, champions fighting in single combat, generals fighting in single combat, skirmishes, pitched battles, women fighting, camels biting horses. Both these armies were as tough as diamond nails. Can’t recall seeing many battles that lasted for almost a week.
Allahu Akbar!
Byzantines and other non muslim forces had heavy weapons,greater armies,more disciplined maneuvers.But the muslims had the faith on The Almighty Allah that gave them x100 moral buffs to win the wars at last.
This channel deserves atleast a million subs
Khalid bin walid was one of the most influential generals ever
One of the best commentary......I felt like as I am there watching them live❤........
Genious commander, superior strategy, and fanathic fighters win wars as usual
MUSLİMS DESTORY romans.
It may win battles, but winning wars requires the full support of one's Population. Raising multiple armies, logistics, Unity factor, Justice system, morale etc. all count
@@muhammadadeel8639 true
The animations are perfect!! I love the attention to detail, all the information you give makes it very clear how this played out
This indicates that battles can't be won with better equipment more troops. its the passion faith which can won battles
Imagine how good is Khalid Bin Walid in Total War if he lives in the current era. Unbeatable champ.
Give him TW Attila and he could win any battle with a single unit of cavalry
Khalid would have dominated the campaign with his single cavalry
There's a mod for that time period in Total War Attila. It's called 634 Fire and Swords
@@RokibHassan-on2ox He would be so OP he might conquer Constantinople by turn 3 or something lol
بحسب المصادر الإسلامية الموثوقة فإن عدد الجيش البيزنطي هو بين 200 - 240 ألف مقاتل أما جيش الخلافة الراشدة فهو لا يتجاوز 40 ألف مقاتل. وهذا يفسر لنا . كيف أن طول الجبهة كان هو 10 أميال وأيضا كان تقابل صفوف الجيشين لضمان عدم إلتفاف أي جيش على الآخر وتطويقه من الخلف.
ولكن لماذا أغفلت الرواية كتيبة الموت التي تشكلت أثناء القتال في اليوم الثالث والتي كانت مكونة من 400 فارس في جيش الخلافة الراشدة. وتم قتل جميع من فيها أثناء توغلهم في قلب الجيش البيزنطي. وذلك لإشغال المشاة والخيالة البيزنطيين عن أجنحة جيش الخلافة الراشدة وصد تكتيكاتهم وتخفيف الضغط لمنع خطر إلتفاف والمحاولة المتكررة في تطويق الجيش البيزنطي لجيش الخلافة الراشدة.
What a stunning narration!!
