Battle of Dhi Qar (609) - Arab - Sassanid Wars DOCUMENTARY
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2018
- Previously we have made animated historical documentaries on the battles of Yarmouk (bit.ly/2MAasKX) and al-Qadisiyyah (bit.ly/2QwTBvL) in our series on the rise of the Muslim Caliphate. Yet, there were many other reasons for the rapid expansion of the Rashidun realm, and the fall of the Lakhmid kingdom, which was the vassal of the Sassanid Empire for centuries was one of them. It sparked an anti-Sassanid sentiment among the Arab tribes and culminated at the battle of Dhi Qar in 609.

Thank you for every thing...
Kings and Generals can you do battle of karbala
Please make documentaries about Shivaji and the Marathas
Great work from the professionals
Nice video as always
the amount of courage that makes you challenge a superpower empire like Sassanian to protect women and children of another tribe is remarkable, much respect for Bakr Ibn-Wael
Its who Arabs are. They take down superpowers and honour their words.
So basically the Arab tribe fought and risked losing its men and territory to hold their word and protect the family of a deceased man. I like that
they honored their good dead people and protect their women
BULLSHIT.

The ancient Arabs, kept their words to the last man. Unfortunately I don't know if we could say the same for the Arabs of today.

Arabs knew wars since the beginning of humanity since cabel and habel
Since the add and thamud era /Cannanites/pheonicians/babylonians assyrians/
All of them were Arabs originally
@@mohammedyassine9263 Neither of the Cannanites,Phoenicia,babylonians or assyrians were arabs. They were seperate groups of people that existed in mesopotamia, lebanon,syria and so on but have no arab haplogroups or ancestry
Hardi Zengana they are the cousins of arabs they are all semites
There is an old Arab myth / legend about Al Nu’man. They say that the Sassanid killed him by getting him stomped by elephants, and that his sisters cried on his grave and red wildflowers grew where their tears fell. That's why red wildflowers are called Shaqa'iq Al Nu’man in Arabic, meaning Al Nu’man's sisters.
Doesnt surprise me as Numan played a big role in early history Islam. Hanzalah for example is muhammad, and Hani, another leader of the Bakr in this Battle is Ali. These names didnt exist back then but were later invented when coming up with the hadiths and sirah of the "prophet".
The chinese have an account about the first arab envoys coming to them in 651 and telling them about how there empire came to be. In that account they tell the chinese about exactly this battle and how it happened.
Such a Noble act from Bakr ibn Wail tribe to not give the Persians the family of Al Nu’man
So did Mullah Umar and chose a fight with US
Noble leader
Amr the Second must have had really fine social ties with the Bakr tribe
Bakr Ibn Wael Al Anazi. 👍
Where are proofs behind this guy OBL's actions ?
Why wasn’t any proof was given to mullah Omar.
Slaughtered that guy? Mullah died of natural causes and now his organisation Taliban gain ground in Afghanistan, while U.S. failed to finish taliban.
Mullah's bravery is like that of the lion of desert 'Omar al mukhtar'.
@@luqmansadiq2171 That's bit what happened and you know it 😐.
Sheltering a criminal is the actual excuse the US used to invade their country. Mulla Omar only wanted to keep O.B.L around because he could maneuver agaisnt the American military presence in the region. But he stupidly sheltered someone who claimed the famed incident. It's like they were asking for the Americans to come. Fully knowing that they have imperial agenda against them.

Those arabs who once ruled the world today they are dictated by few jews living in the heart of middleast. Today the words of my beloved Prophet (saw) came so true that we muslims will love our lives more than death. We love our lives thats why we are afraid to stand up against our govts and we allow them to do everything as their masters want them to do. But remember Rasool Allah (saw) also told us that arabs will vanish. And i think that time is pretty near when arabs are going to vanish!

The Arabs at that time saw it as a very humiliating act to hand their women to the persians, so some fought againt persians and some decided to betray them in battle coz all Arabs respected bnu Bakr cause not to hand the women away

Fun Facts: Taghlib and Ibn Bakr tribes were related by a common ancestor which lived after 200AD, and both tribes knew this. Though these tribes fought against each other all the time, they also helped each other all the time.
Taghlib and bakr are brothers and the sons of wael and the became a tribe in the name of anizah , anizah is the nickname pf wael anizah tribe grandfather

Just so you know Al-Numan refused to sell his daughter to Khosrow although he knew how strong the persian army was.
He went there in the hopes that Khosrow would imprison and kill him then forget about his daughter. That is why he took his family to Bani Wa'il.
Remember this whole battle happened because Arabs held true to their word and protected Al-Numan's family.
تاريخ مشرف
No this battle happened because Numan insulted Khosrow and Persian aswell as Arab Woman living in the Persian empire. You can read tabari, and you will see that Khosrow didnt attack him because of some daughter or woman.
@@MONKEYDUDE2701Tabari is Persian, of course he will make up BS being butthurt. Arabs defeated the Sassanids before Islam and after Islam. Odaenathus/Othaina(t), also an Arab, defeated the persians before Dhi Qar
@@user-cp2fw3sq8k are you mad, tabari was under heavy abbasid censorship just as every other muslim writer in the abbasid period. Besides, Khosrow is shown extremely negative in his book, so your argument doesn’t even make any sense, and is nothing but arab cope.
Oh arabs defeated us before and after? Then you surely remember Phillip the arab kneeling before our Shahanshah after being captured together with valerian, a scene which is carved in stone in our great mountains in Pars for the whole world to see.
You also surely remember Shapur II also known by the name the arabs gave him, Dhu Al Aktaf, who killed half of all the arabs of the world.
You surely surely also remember Tahir Al Jannabi the Persian whose father declared himself the heir of the Sassanians. He sacked that "holy" city, killed everybody inside it, took control of the whole arabian peninsular, took that bogus black stone, put it in a public toilet and ransomed it back to those arabs for a sum you couldnt even comprehend. He even changed the qibla to the Fire as it was before that jewish messianic heresy of Hanzalah ibn abi Qabisah.
You surely also remember Piruz Nahavandi who drove his knife directly into the "caliph" and his companions before getting away with it or Radman Pourmahak or Behzadan or Farrukhan the Great or Papak Khorramdin.
You want me to keep going? Hahahaha
The Iranians defiled everything of what was left of that arab honour after their treachery and there is no discussion about that.
@@user-cp2fw3sq8k and how come your sources are valid?

Nice we want more on this topic
Adal/Ottoman Empire vs Abyssinian/Portuguese wars? History in Horn of Africa at that time is interesting imo.
Agree
I wish I could like this twice
@Abdulrahman Eritrea yeah true, they were a huge part of the war.
Being portuguese I can't really understand the obcession somalis have with this war. It's completly forgotten in Portugal and we were on the "winning" side of it. The only reason I got to learn about it was due to the portuguese commander, Cristóvão da Gama, being a son of the famous explorer Vasco da Gama. The portuguese contigent was about 400 strong, and even though it ended up changing the outcome of the war considerably it was merely another proxy war between the Kingdom of Portugal and the Ottoman Empire in the Indian Ocean. Given that the ethiopians revere a portuguese chainmail in one of their most sacred churches I'd say it's also a big deal to them. Neither side really won anything from that costly war and it paved the way for the Oromo to succesfully migrate into southern Ethiopia, further plunging the region into chaos. Guess it's just being used as nationalistic propaganda for both countries to fuel the dispute over Ogaden and K&G would be wise to stay away from this topic. The comments on the fall of Constantionople video were toxic enough.
@@JoseSantos-xn4lp ita true that we somalis talk about it alot. But thats because it was a war of survival for us. It's just like how the poles say that they saved europe( by talking about battle of Wien). For us Somalis it feel like we won the war ( not in the abyssinian front which ended in a stalement). I kinda hope you understand our point of view. If the portugese had decisively won the war. Then probably we would have been one of the slaves sent to Brazil. Hope you understand.
Mind blowing how does this person know about this battle and the time and effort he puts in maps strategy of the army’s many details you are amazing....I’m from the south of that map... I’m himyar :)
Awesome Video!!!
Thank you!
This was great. I enjoy learning about how and why empires came about and their demise.
Thank you very much!
One thing I can't get my around in this period is just how these Arab tribes (and later the early Muslims) were able to not only fend off an established empire like the Sassanid Persians, but decisively defeat them in battle over and over again, and then against the Eastern Romans too. Can someone explain?
Arabs had religious zeal and extreme morale at that time while Persia and East Rome were almost drained due to their constant wars. Later Arabs subjugated some remaining parts of Gokturk after it was decisively defeated by the Chinese. Later, Arabs advanced and conquered 90% of the Iberian Peninsular until Charle Martel stopped them with winter attrition and infantry. On the eastern front, Arabs also beat us Chinese in the battle of Talas since the general on the Chinese side was too cruel to its Turkish subjects thus got backstabbed by the Turks during the battle with the Caliphate.
Finally, there was the siege of Constantinople during both 710s and 806. Really crazy to think in less than 200 years of time, Arabs fought all other great powers in this planet with religious zeal and some luck as well.
It's a question that always bugged me as well. Both the Byzantines and the Sassanians were militarily and financially exhausted from near constant warring for centuries, culminating in the final Romano-Persian War of 602-628. Neither the Romans nor the Persians could afford another war so soon, and a big reason why the Byzantine Empire survived while the Sassanian Empire did not was mainly due to geographic proximity.
Success of the Arabs had much to do with the Persian emperor belatedly recognizing the Arab threat until significant damage had been done. In his defense, the Arabs had tried forays and uprisings in the past and all were easily stomped out, so why would this last time be any different, right? The Persians also had lost their buffer state of the Lakhmids, providing easier access for the Arabs to invade.
Worse, the Persians lost a shocking number of Spahbeds (generals) to Arab assassins in duels before battle even began. Persia's best generals (namely Shahrbaraz and Shahin) from the Romano-Persian War of 602-628 were all dead or retired by the time the Arabs attacked. One of the most competent generals the Persians had during their fight against the Arabs, Rostam, was killed in the decisive Battle of Qādisiyyah.
Even worse, the Persians were not particularly united during this time. The final Sassanian Shah, Yazdegerd III, took power when he was 8 years old and was the 5th(!) Persian Shah to rule between a two year period of 630-632. Many nobles families in the empire did not respect or trust this newest ruler and some were quick to jump ship and surrender to the Arabs in hopes of keeping their privileged status after the Sassanian Empire was gone.
Finally, The Arabs had one of the greatest military generals of the Medieval Era in the form of Khālid ibn al-Walīd, whose strategic and tactical brilliance cannot be understated. The man dismantled both the Byzantine and Sassanian armies sent against him. If you're interested in military history, I highly recommend checking out the book, The War of the Three Gods: Romans, Persians, and the Rise of Islam. www.amazon.com/War-Three-Gods-Romans-Persians/dp/1629145122.
If you are interested in the fall of the Sassanian Empire and its gradual conversion to Islam, I can provide you a link to my Masters Thesis paper. Cheers.
Khalid bin Al-Walid was one of the general of Rashidun Caliphate and he was the one who conquered the Persian empire and defeated the romans in every battle and he fought more than 200 battles and never defeated in a single battle in his life. And when Umayyad Caliphate conquered spain (Andalusia) , Abdur Rahman Al-Gafiqi nominated to control Al andalusia and he wasn't that experienced about battles and he went to conquer France and defeated in battle of Tours. If khalid bin Al-Walid invaded in France ,now they also conquered France .
