      It depends. Abdul-Malik's achievements are definitely more momentous, he also had 20 years to realise his plans unlike Umar II was was killed after only 3 years.

    Let’s get something clear: Islam is about unity, not fanning the flames of sectarianism. Some of you are so deep in your echo chambers that you've forgotten the bigger picture. Ali belongs to all Muslims, not just those who twist his words to push divisive narratives. Throwing around accusations like ‘Nasibi’ is lazy and shows you have no real arguments. Quoting hadiths selectively while ignoring broader history doesn't make you right it just exposes your bias. If you actually care about the Deen, focus on what unites us, not what divides us. Enough with the venom and chaos if you can't handle engaging with truth and unity, maybe it's time you rethink your priorities. Sectarianism is a disgrace, and Islam is bigger than your narrow agenda.

    Watched the whole video السلام عليكم
    Abu Zakariya did an excellent job highlighting the incredible legacy of the Umayyads.
    Their contributions to the expansion of the Islamic faith and the establishment of a unified, powerful Empire cannot be overstated.
    the Umayyads played a key role in shaping the Arabian National identity and the course of Islamic history.
    It's great to see their achievements being recognized and appreciated in this way, Thank you Historyun.
    I totally agree with the striking resemblance between the Umayyads and the Al Saud dynasties.
    Many Saudi historians have pointed out the parallels, especially between certain figures, and it’s very interesting to see those connections.
    Now, let’s address the haters of the Umayyads all of whom criticize them for purely sectarian reasons. The reality is, their legacy is undeniable, and reducing it to these narrow lenses is both lazy and dishonest.
    The Umayyads were empire builders who spread Islam far beyond what anyone else had achieved before or after.
    If you’re going to attack them, at least have the decency to recognize their monumental contributions to Islamic civilization instead of parroting tired sectarian rhetoric.

    Salam Alaykum Ustadh.
    I have a question regarding Ibn Khaldun's writings. He mentions in one of his books that the early Muslim expansion that was done by the Arabs as very "destructive" and that they destroyed everything they conquered and the فتوحات were negative. He also mentions a lot of negative things about Arabs and how they destroy civilizations. He also has a very negative view of Africans. Was he unaware of history?
    Would love to see you address his work regarding this issue.

      Great questions. The second question is addressed in the Muqaddimah series on Telegram (Adab Book Club). As for the comments on the Arabs, he mentioned the Bedouins (A'raab) and specified certain clans. He does comment on Arabs in general not being great at construction etc but it's not in the context of conquest and destruction. We will come to that commentary later on in the series. You are welcome to join the Telegram channel for all previous episodes on the Muqaddimah

    الرواية المكذوبة على الرسول عليه الصلاة والسلام أنه سمح لنصارى نجران بأداء صلاتهم الكفرية في مسجده لا تصح. وغاية ما في الأمر أن هناك رواية مرسلة ذكرها ابن كثير وفيها ابن اسحاق وهو مدلس. فضلا عن أن مضمونها يخالف الأصول وهو أن الرسول صلى الله عليه ويسلم لا يعين الكفار على أداء شعائرهم في مسجده.
    ويكفي في القدح في هذه الرواية أنها لم تشتهر مع أنها كانت في المسجد ومع وجود جمع كبير من الصحابة فكان من حقها أن تشتهر ولم يحصل ذلك فلم ترد عن صحابي....
    وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ ۖ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ

      As a historian, I cite historical sources and Ibn Kathir is one such source. If I were a Muhaddith then what you are presenting would be of concern to me and my audience.
      Do not complicate matters beyond what is necessary. Hadith and History are two different fields of study.
      If you want to apply the standards of Hadith onto Seerah then be prepared to discard of 90% of what has come to us through the works of Ibn Ishaq, Tabari and several other classical historiographers.

    • @hymnisphear
      @hymnisphear Час назад

      @Historyun whilst it is well-known that seerah and historical works are not as rigorous in the authentication of reports, the practicing Muslim has to at least make known when a report that he utilizes is in conflict with principles of the religion. For the Prophet to encourage or allow the Christian delegation to perform their blasphemous prayers in his Masjid is not in accordance with the Sharia. The acceptance of kufr is kufr and the Prophet would never accept that. By the way many people present this story, the audience that doesn't know any better would believe that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم actually did this action and they may also seek to emulate it and thus do commit kufr without knowing. Many people these days are not focused on the obligatory Knowledge and fall into all kinds of things. I placed it there not to be a nuisance but as a help and to protect people from believing that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did such an action. May Allāh ta'ala protect us and guide us to a good end.

The result of umayids and. Abasids rule in Europe and western part of middle. East we are reaping today Loot of wealth and women as war returns was their prime motive.
