Assalamu aleykum from tatars in Russia. We embraced islam peacefully in 922 (even before Russians chose christianity in 988!). Before mongols, we called ourselves Bulgars (Volga river Bulgaria), then changed the ethnonim to tatars due to mongol invasion (Russians called mongols and especially those who served them as tatars (tatars were initially a rival neighbor tribe subjugated by mongols)). Batu khan (elder brother of Berke) destroyed our muslim state - Volga Bulgaria (don't confuse with modern Bulgaria on Danube river), however people still remained muslim. Mongols used them to rule the Golden Horde. Teaching Russian and tatar history in school here in Tatarstan, Russia. I'm personally from a mixed family, half russian half tatar. Great video, thanks a lot. May Allah bless USA and Russia with islam.
Tatar is a solder in the entourage of an emissary. Probably the word entered into Russian lexicon through their encounters with the Golden Hord or Khazar Khanate. There was a tatar division in the Ottoman army handling postal communication.
Allah guides who He wants. The reversion of Berke Khan had a profound effect globally including the Muslims of the subcontinent. I am from present day Bangladesh and our Sufis, teachers and missionaries could work because of the powerful Muslim rulers. Today I am with my family in Australia and many of us Muslims are in good professions Alhamdullilah and like the traders during the Mongolian times and like Yadir Qadhi said “ being the best in what you do can be the best dawah” are having a influence. We need another Salahuddin, another Berke Khan now Elahi. Thanks to you our Tatari brother. May Allah bless you and your family.
@ According to Peskov, Putin's spokeperso, there are 35M 'turks' in Russia. I am not sure of its breakdown, whether it includes all Muslims of non-turkic origin. These are citizens. There are also laborers from former soviet republics. Probably close to ~40M.
Wow, Allah bless Berke Khan and the accept all the sacrifices of the Muslims. May Allah bless the Muslims around the world , open the hearts of the enemies to Islam.
Salaam from Australia. Originally I am from Kazakhstan. We embraced Islam in 9th century. When Mongols invaded our land they didn't have any other choice but assimilate with locals tribes and convert to Islam. Alhamdulillah ❤
Walaikumusalaam Wa rahmatullahi Wa barakahatuhu Barak Allahu Feek, Aameen Alhumdulillah for this thorough historical discussion. Thank you for reminding believers of the strength and truth of our faith, Allah (swt)’s protection of His religion and the Ummah, and to have hope in good leadership. Aameen to the duas May Allah (swt) guide us all to represent and implement our faith in the best way and pave a path for successful leaders for the Ummah, Aameen Jazakum Allahu khairun As salaam u alaikum Wa rahmatullahi Wa barakahatuhu
All glory to Allah 🤲🏽 Sometimes the fact that we (late generations) had no chance to be with prophets, make me a little bit sad, but... I'm Allah Almighty knows better than us, and i so happy that my lifeline crossed in time with those kind of muslim speakers ❤ Yasir akhi, Omar Suleiman akhi, Nouman Alikhan akhi , Muhammad Bajoor and others Wallahi they don't know, how much does they mean to me and they spread a light on my lifestyle by permission of Allah 🤲🏽 I'm Azerbaijani female converted muslim (i know that our country is "muslim" but believe me it's not true and most of our people think that be Azerbaijani it's similar to be a muslim, without praying, fasting and cetera. And it is so amazing that speakers from nonmuslim countries know about our religion more than in countries which positioned as mumslims May Allah Azza wa Jalla protect all of you, brothers and sisters, and bless our dear speakers, teachers, bless on their offspring and family members, may all of us be with our RasululLah (sallallahu aleyhi wa ssalam) as his followers and righteous servants Ameen 🤲🏽
Agree sister. May Allah bless Yasir Qadhi, Omar Suleiman, Nouman Ali Khan who are continuously working to spread the knowledge of Islam. There are many other scholars like Ustadh Babor, Hamza Yusuf, singer Cat Steven’s. Elahi, at present my heart bleeds for Palestine, please let us see see a free Palestine soon please.
Thank you for such an informative and interesting lecture Shaikh Yasir. As original Volga Tatar can add that official date of embracing Islam by the ruler of Volga tatars was 922 CE, that’s the date I remember from my history class at school. And currently about 10-20% of Russian population is Muslim
If history repeats itself then it is possible that some day Trump”s grandson will try to establish Shariah and go against his father, then after a few centuries another sincere Dr. YQ would have been telling in a khatira about the conversion of Trump’s grandson who miraculously converted to Islam back in the 21st century. Wallahu Alam.
In democratic society leaders don't matter if they become Muslim. People controls them in make way. They only last 4 or 8 years so even if they accept islam they can't do much to change people. But because we have freedom of speech Numbers will grow up much faster.
Hulagu Khan formed an alliance with Crusader States. In response Berke Kan formed an alliance with Mamluk state in Egypt. It was the army of the Khanate of the Golden Horde that defeated Hulagu Khan. Hulagu died in 1261. Mongol army in Ain Jalut was the NOT the main Mongol army. Main Mongol army was destroyed by Berke's nephew. Anyway, Berke Khan passed away in Azerbaijan not Uzbekistan.
Berke Khan, the ruler of the Golden Horde and a grandson of Genghis Khan, was influenced to accept Islam by Shaikh Saifuddin Dervish, a Sufi saint. Shaikh Saifuddin’s teachings and spiritual influence played a significant role in Berke Khan’s conversion to Islam around the mid-13th century. This conversion had a profound impact, as Berke Khan became the first Mongol ruler to adopt Islam, and he later supported the spread of the faith within his realm.
Golden Horde also included vast lands of Central Asia and its center (capital) was on the northern coasts of Caspian Sea. Lithuania, Poland were just western provinces in the outskirts. When Gengiz khan conquered Central Asia and Volga river lands, there already Turks (modern Tatar, Kazakh, bashkir) and in the southern parts modern Uzbeks and Kirghiz people, all these Turkic people were already Muslims. So mongols assimilated with the majority local Turkic population and became islamized and turkisized with time. Mother of Berke khan was khoresm princess she was Muslim and raised Berke as a Muslim. In the eastern part Uyghurs (also Turks) served the mongol rulers in the palaces high ranks as they were educated.
i am a salafi yet when i heard berke khan became muslim through sufi influence i said alhumdulillah. No matter which sect we may follow ,a person who believes in Allah and his Rasool s.a.w is my muslim brother . We invite them to leave all the innovations etc. but it doesn't mean they aren't our brothers.
@01:55 The incident occurred when Genghis Khan had sent a trade mission to the Khwarazmian Empire, seeking peaceful relations and establishing trade routes. However, the governor of Otrar, an important city in the Khwarazmian Empire, executed the Mongol emissary, violating the diplomatic sanctity. Enraged by this act of aggression and disrespect, Genghis Khan decided to take severe action against the Khwarazmian Empire. He saw it as a direct challenge to his authority and an affront to the Mongol Empire. Genghis Khan swiftly mobilized his forces and launched a full-scale military campaign to avenge the killing of his emissary.
*According to most estimates, the Muslim population in Poland is very small, with numbers ranging between 25,000 and 40,000 people, constituting less than 0.1% of the total population; the majority of these Muslims are ethnic Tatars, a group that has been present in the country for centuries!!*
Funny since Arabic doesn't have vowels when i first read the name of Berke in arabic i read it as Baraka; which means blessing, and thought it was his name post conversion. interesting coicindence
The disagreement with the Mongols and Howarism Khanate had to do with trade routes. Gengiz Khan wanted to open up China to trade, which was closed. Howarism Khanate, the successors of Seljüks, preferred the route from India to Black Sea and Mediterrenean which they controlled, and were extracting good revenue from. Howarism did not want the competition from China. Babur had no connection to Gengiz. His Grand grand father, Timur had married a lady from Gengiz dynasty but he has nothing to do with Mogols otherwise. They would marry different ladies for political reasons. Timur's empire may be even bigger than Gengiz's empire. They had the tradition of dividing up their empire between the sons, so after a few generations they would disappear.

*8:00* What will his forcing and not forcing on the people do on the people. If Berke Khan's People had to accept Islam they could have on their free will. Why would his forcing or not forcing change the religion today? Islam spreads not by force it spreads by itself. His forcing wouldn't make people of today Muslims in Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine and the Golden Horde.
@native5647 no I just looked up the statistics because our beloved shaykh was unsure, so I wanted to make sure we did not leave with incorrect information.
@ismaeel747 oh ok but I am surprised by the number only 1% polish are Muslims I know they are againt Muslims and some of the politicians always spewing hate against Muslims.

@АртемТовалович-б4о, Is it true, Russia today is home to 25 million strong Muslim Community ?
@ According to Peskov, Putin's spokeperso, there are 35M 'turks' in Russia. I am not sure of its breakdown, whether it includes all Muslims of non-turkic origin. These are citizens. There are also laborers from former soviet republics. Probably close to ~40M.
Thanks so much for sharing this! It's great to hear from other muslims stories

Asalamu Alaykum Epic Masjid, can one of your historians make a khatira about Dagestan's history and it's connection to Islam?
Look up Imam Shamil.

Funny since Arabic doesn't have vowels when i first read the name of Berke in arabic i read it as Baraka; which means blessing, and thought it was his name post conversion. interesting coicindence

Babur had no connection to Gengiz. His Grand grand father, Timur had married a lady from Gengiz dynasty but he has nothing to do with Mogols otherwise. They would marry different ladies for political reasons. Timur's empire may be even bigger than Gengiz's empire. They

Amazing lecture
Ain-al-Jalut is in occupied Palestine. Not in Egypt.
It means the Spring of Goliath...
*8:00* What will his forcing and not forcing on the people do on the people. If Berke Khan's People had to accept Islam they could have on their free will. Why would his forcing or not forcing change the religion today? Islam spreads not by force it spreads by itself. His forcing wouldn't make people of today Muslims in Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine and the Golden Horde.
I've always wondered how the Polish Tartan Muslims got there.
So is it accurate to takeaway that Berke Khan is the reason why Muslims with the Khan surname exist now?
14:25 Poland dont have 15%or 20 %muslims. Its less than 1 %.
Why only 1% ?
İt's less than 0.1%
Why without head cover?! Really strange!!!
No sound?
Read syuaib prayer
The muslim population of poland is about 0.1%. They are a tiny minority unfortunately.
Are you in Poland?
@native5647 no I just looked up the statistics because our beloved shaykh was unsure, so I wanted to make sure we did not leave with incorrect information.
@ismaeel747 oh ok but I am surprised by the number only 1% polish are Muslims I know they are againt Muslims and some of the politicians always spewing hate against Muslims.

Ertugrul meets Berke khan in Ertugrul series
The Mongols who converted to Islam were the mongols who settled in the Muslim world. The Mongols who converted to China, Korea converted to Buddhism.
