  • My favorite scene from "The 13th Warrior", showing preparations and prayers of the remaining warriors before the final battle.
    Muslim prayer: ""Merciful Father, I have squandered my days with plans of many things. This was not among them. But, at this moment, I beg only to live the next few minutes well. ... For all we ought to have thought and have not thought, all we ought to have said and have not said, all we ought to have done and have not done, I pray thee, God, for forgiveness."
    Viking prayer: "Lo, there do I see my father. Lo, there do I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers. Lo, there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning. Lo, they do call to me. They bid me take my place among them in the halls of Valhalla where the brave may live forever."

    there was an interview of Antonio Banderas where he was going over his career. He said that he always hoped this movie would be rediscovered and people would see how good it was. the interviewer (paraphrased) said, "Wait, do you not know? Go online and see, there are many people who love this movie."

    I love both of the prayers but especially the first. It goes the complete opposite way you expect. Ibn isn't asking forgiveness for the things he's done, like most movies would show. He's asking forgiveness for everything that he should have done. He fully admits to having waste of much of his life with frivolous nonsense. And now, at the potential end of this time, he suddenly realizes how unimportant a lot of those things were. It's it's an amazingly simple but powerful sentiment and since none of us are going to make it out of here alive, definitely something to live by. No regrets.

    A great quote from "Kingdom of Heaven".
    "I put no stock in religion. By the word 'religion' I've seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of God. I've seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves. And goodness, what God desires, is here (points to the head) and here (points to the heart). By what you decide to do every day, you will be a good man. Or not."

      It is more a sin unto yourself to not aspire to reach your own potential than to God, though by mistreating yourself, you do sin before God. Jehovah, Allah, and Odin would all hold that to you that you live the best life possible for yourself. Which would include taking time to heal your mind, and appreciate the world around you. Look to the horizon and wonder what could be beyond. Relish the smell of a flower that you walked by. Listen to the stories of a man you only just met. It's not just what you can give to people, but also remembering what you can give yourself. Being selfless doesn't mean having no regard for self. Because when you take care of yourself, the longer your journey may be, and the more you can give unto others.

      The rank of logicness is:
      1. Islam
      2. Agnostic
      3. Atheist
      4. Christianity, Judaism, and other monotheistic religion
      5. Hinduism, Buddhism, and other polytheistic religion
      6. Animism or people that worships nature.
      If you're atheist, come on. Just 2 rank again and you will be more smarter.
      Islam is the most logic.
      Atheist itself is not logic because.. If the universe make its own self, then who create it in the first place? Who create the first material of universe?
      In religion, we have concept of.. God create the universe and God exists since we don't know. He already there so he never born and never die.
      At this point you will become agnostic person. A person that don't follow any religion but believes in God. One God. There is one invisible divine being that created us and watch us.
      And after u became agnostic, you will feel the urge to find the most logic religion. And it's Islam of course.
      Islam have complete rules about life. That's how "God's rules" supposed to be. If religion is God's rules, then it must have rules for every sectors. To make human live in the right way.
      Religion must not just talk about spirituality. Religion also need to talk about their stuffs like economy, how to dress, how to interact, how to slaughter animal in the kindest way, etc.
      AND RELIGION NEED TO STAY SAME SINCE THE FIRST IT CAME OUT UNTIL FOREVER.
      Look at Christianity. Lot of edits happen there. The latest edit of Christianity is.. some churches allowing LGBT community.
      Even the birth of Jesus on Dec 25th is a lie too.
      Jesus born in the warm season of Jerusalem. Soo.. Obviously it is not December. December is the cold season even for the Arab region even though there is no snow in there.
      The same thing goes with another "religion". Lot of edits. And still growing.
      Unlike Islam that stay same like that since the birth of Islam until we don't know when.
      Islam law doesn't change. It just adapting to the new latest knowledge and technology of humankind.
      For example is.. In Islam, interest is FORBIDDEN or HARAM. But this law/rule also applies to the interest in e-finance thing.
      Don't u think e-finance interest is acceptable because there is no e-finance word in Quran or Hadith.
      Interest is interest.

    Every time this movie is broadcasted, I watch it, and always for these two prayers. They both have their merits. One is a man simply asking God to give him the strength to live the next few minutes well, to stand against the Wendol, as well as asking him to forgive him for not living life to the fullest.
    The other is a firm belief that your ancestors are watching and waiting for you, and that aslong as you are brave, you will be welcomed into Valhalla if it is your time.
    Both aren't so bad at all, I think.

    A man and warrior who has prepared his life is spared fear and panic in combat situations where they may face overwhelming odds and certain death. The reward of preparation is Peace and resolve. This manifests itself in a fierce resolve that can lead to confusion and dishearten the enemy, breaking their courage and their attack. Both of these prayers reveal a mastery over life and fear from two cultural perspectives. Every culture has something similar.

They bade me take my place among them in the halls of valhalla. Where ALL the brave may live FOREVER. Till then.. Till we meet again..RIP all my passed on brethren; any champion at all of good that needed no weapon but their heart 💛.. Till Valhalla 🗡🤝✨🙏💜

      @@brotherhoodofsteeld.c.chap1917 I think Ibn Fadlan was from the Abbasid Kalifat. And the Varangians were northern germanic and eastern slavic warriors. The name is not the name of a culture or tribe. It's the name of a guard unit of the emperor of Constantinopel. Eastern germanic tribes didn't exist at this time anymore. These warriors were Svear or Göter. In eastern europe called Rus. That name came from the finnish word for rowing. Oh and a Hesir is a noble of the northern germanic tribes. Later the Jarl replaced the Hesir in his rank and the Hesir was a minor noble or a leader of a warparty.

    I just realised this scene got inspiration from 'the Battle of the Mounds' from Conan the Barbarian (1982), with Conan's final prayer to Crom before he and the few faced the evil Riders of Doom! And even this was inspired by 'the Battle on the Ice' from Alexander Nevskij (1938) with Alexander and his army awaiting the evil riding knights of the Teutonic Order.

      I saw it at the cinema when it first came out, and I saw a good review of it in my local newspaper. But then the major media critics started saying how awful it was, and very few went to see it.
      I think it's great. It's based (somewhat) on the travels of a real Arab who had contact with the Vikings. The Viking funeral is based on his writings.
