Why aren't there any more Caliphs? (Short Animated Documentary)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 มิ.ย. 2021
- Sunni Islam had, for most of its existence, been led (in theory) by a Caliph, the spiritual successor to the Prophey Muhammad. Yet, today there isn't one and hasn't been a widely recognised Caliph since 1924. But why not? Why hasn't any one tried to proclaim themselves Caliph? To find out why watch this short and simple animated history documentary.

The Moroccan king actually styles himself as ”Amir al-Mu’minin” which means Commander of the Faithful. It is closely linked to the title of Caliph sometimes even used interchangeably.
Interesting
The king of Morocco is not the only one who styled or called himself as amir almuminin but didn't assume the caliph title because they don't have neither the power nor the religious legitimacy to impose it on the vaste territories of Islamic lands
the title is also claimed by the Supreme Leader of Afghanistan.

Being from the West and only taking Western Civ I and II beyond all the regular middle and high school history classes: I have always been *SO* fascinated by Middle Eastern and Asian history/culture/everything else. Mostly, I assume, because of the fact that we were never taught about anything besides the U.S. and Europe. So, basically, while I love learning about any and all history; I really really really love learning about anywhere that isn't the U.S. or Europe.
TL;DR awesome video, super interesting.

@@spk1121 I would say HM did a more thorough job. My thesis was specifically on Hussein bin Ali’s claim to be caliph and British support for that claim. In that HM’s assessment of HBA as being duplicitous if also ineffectual and easily duped is all true
@@spk1121 would also add that we could have seen more attention paid to the role of India’s Muslims in persuading Britain to abandon Hussein-his claim to be caliph was way too disruptive for colonial authorities and they were happy to abandon him to Saud’s forces in the Najd when time came for war

That’s sort of what happened with the Taliban when they initially seized power in Afghanistan. Their first leader Mullah Muhammad Omar was clearly preparing to make a claim to be caliph. He had a shura grant him the title “Commander of the Faithful” and held a rally in Kandahar in which he put on a robe said to have been worn by Muhammad. As with ISIS, though, the Taliban was considered too radical and violent, and also a threat to mainstream religious and political authorities in the Middle East. It also was never taken seriously due its location in remote and underdeveloped Afghanistan. As a result most of the Muslim world joined almost every country in refusing diplomatic recognition to the new regime. Saudi Arabia and the UAE were the exceptions, but their relationships with it were growing increasingly uneasy even before 9/11 due to their tendency to shelter fundamentalist dissidents who opposed any secular government in the region (Osama bin Laden being the highest-profile example and the one that would lead to its first downfall).

Correction: Salafi doctrine does not reject the position of Caliph, it just requires the Caliph be from Muhammad's original tribe, amongst other requirements, such as acceptance by a majority of dignitaries in a council they'd call the Shura council. Effectively, they didn't see the the Hashimite ruler of Mecca at the time as fit despite fitting the rest of the criteria, and bringing up the subject would put them in an awkward position with the Sauds who did not fit the criteria.
This became a point of contention at many points of the kingdom's history. Many radical Salafi groups called for a Caliph to be instated, the last of which was the leader of the terrorist group ISIS who claimed to be from Muhammad's tribe.
Most scholars and scholars of different schools of thought rejected IS claim of Caliphate due to lack of religious qualifications (Their leader leader never attended an Islamic University)
@@zainmudassir2964 "most scholars"
Actually there's no scholar with a shred ov credibility who accepted ISIS's claim. Besides, attending a stupid university is not a criteria for being a caliph ov the Islamic state. None of the caliphs of old ever attended any university, not saying they never had any form of Islamic education. Perhaps you might wanna tell me which universities umar and Usman and other companions of the prophet (peace be upon them) attended.
Man they are 100's of sects and each of them think the others are infidels, imagine if a position like a caliph would be up for grabs, they would keep fighting and set the middle east back another century.

Why does Brunei exist? I’ve always been interested why the Dutch didn’t just take them over too like the rest of Borneo
Short answer: Brunei was a force to be reckoned with in and of itself. Well connected, militarily quite strong and reasonably wealthy. Stood on its own despite wars with Britain and Spain until the end of the 19th century when the Japanese, British and Dutch simply outcompeted it economically and it went into serious decline. They then basically invited some British businessmen to run things, who weren't very good, so then turned to Britain itself, who stepped in and made it a protectorate.
Well to answer ur question, we have to look at the history, around brunei there was already a colonist by the name of James brooke. He was actually a british that colonised Sarawak,which is part of Malaysia now. Before that, sarawak is very small state. But whej brooke conquered sarawak, he took more land from brunei until what it is today, so Brunei was really fortunate that his lineage didn’t finish brunei, but his conquest was stopped before world war when the british monarchs took over Sarawak. Anyways This is in malaysia history and the dutch just conquered the modern day indonesia
Sarawak today is actually Brunei before james brooke took over, I hope it answers ur question
Well, british who colonized them, not the dutch
Short answer: Britain

The most important reason of the abolishment of Caliphate in the Republic of Turkey was that;
The monarchist saw the Caliph as the chance to return back to “one man’s rule”.
Caliphate was also not compatible with the new “Secularist” structure of the State.
Atatürk ended the Monarchy, believing that Democracy was better.
However, most Turks were so used to Monarchy, it wouldn’t be clever to abolish it directly. So he kept Caliphate as a buffer title for some time to convince the people, and when the circunstances were right, the Caliphate was no more.

Hi History Matters - don’t know if you’ll see this post, but i’ll try anyway.
So i have been wondering for some time about the Bloodbath of Stockholm in 1520, which marked the definitive point in time when the Kalmar Union of Scandinavia was set to break up. But i believe if the bloodbath of Stockholm had not happened and the Kalmar Union had managed to stay intact, both the russians and prussians to some degree could have been less dominant powers, as in stead of fighting each other, Denmark and Sweden would have been able to support each other in russian and prussian wars.
Just a thought. Would be interesting to see your take on the downfall of the Kalmar union and the Bloodbath of Stockholm in 1520.
Can you do a short animated documentary on the French Invasion of Mexico?
Tbh I'm used to Caliph being pronounced as CAH-LIF so it's weird hearing someone pronounce CAE-LIF.
English people can't pronounce non-English words. They say "Don KWIX-OAT" instead "Don Key-HO-tay" and "BASS-relief" as if they're talking about fishing, as opposed to "BAH-relief", etc.
Yeah I've never heard it pronounced that way and it hurt my ears. But it might be the correct pronunciation. Which would also mean Caliphate is Kay Liph Ate
@@edmann1820 It's most certainly wrong.

History Matters and James Bizonette. Name a more iconic duo.
King Abdulaziz could have ruled the islamic world if he wanted but he didn’t use Islam as a tool for politics unlike many others in the region. He was a king that lived with the people he ruled, dressed from what they wore and ate from what they had. May god have mercy on his soul, the greatest king of the 20th century
Nice video.
1:39 Bangladesh: "Am I A Joke To You????"
True, but to be fair, when the British partitioned India in 1947, Bangladesh was a part of Pakistan.
I love the way HM pronounces “Nejd”
Considering becoming a patron just to have the video's end with you saying oink oink again... I miss that.
The most important element in this is the fact:
It is not easy, alot of individuals need to agree , Muslims must know him and generally appreciate him , it is a big responsibility, the requirements of a Caliph candidate is very high that no one can in modern day we know of can achieve it unless from birth get trained to be a Caliph candidate, requires a powerful state that has a good jurisprudence law and research and money and strong independent security with tune of scholars under command, the state needs to be holding into a decent size of the Muslim world too, it requires a state to be an Emirati Sultanate Republic first where it has a strong government structure ect... plus many more resones. Those are the big main resones. All the candidate after 1908 are not worthy or excepted.
come on, if trump can lead the US and by extension the world, are you saying any culer can't? ruling a country or many countries isn't much different,...they are the same really. Also many of the caliphates weren't worthy of the title, else the islamic empire would still be here today....our leaders are corrupt and none of them care for islam or the people anyways, just clinging to power.
Pretty much. Do you know anyone fit for the job? Me neither. That’s probably the biggest reason why there is none. It sucks how people think this is like a monarchy.
@@NiceIndeed pretty much. But ya it is not supposed to be a kingdom as the king is only God.
@@NiceIndeed imam al mahdi . Period
Love the futurama reference: "What the hell is kwanzaa?"
I didn't catch that one immediately that is an excellent reference
Fun fact: Abdulmecid of Ottoman was ellected as a caliph by newly founded Republic of Turkey but soon later was the caliphate abolished. The narrator does not know that probably
Good video
A caliph nowadays has to be very pious ,very ,very ,very knowledgeable in the states of the affairs of the world; He must also have comprehensive knowledge in all kinds of sciences ,mathematics,engineering,technology, quantum mechanics, blockchains, AR, AI, cyberspace, …; Plus he has to be a memorizer of the Quran , and must have a thorough understanding of the various interpretations of the Quran by the most famous scholars of the past and present (Ibn Khattir ,Shahid Qutb, etc…); He must also have a solid grasp of the authentic Ahadiths; He must be cautious and weary when dealing with Iran and China ; He must be very wise and very humble.
He must be gay.
Damn all-in-one package
I think your requirements are the best answer for the question, why there isn't any caliph today
@@OmarHashimOAD lol
@@OmarHashimOAD Imagine requiring a Caliph( religious head) to learn about quantum mechanics, blockchains and cyberspace...😂😂😂😂
Hey love your videos, just a small thing Ive noticed since you’ve used the Iran/Persia court a bunch of times now: the “Iran” on the wall you use in your videos actually says “Yeran.” It’s supposed to be spelled ایران but you have it spelled یران. I hope this reaches you and you get to fix it! Great content!

We learn schools in Türkiye, Atatürk, after ottoman collapsed and republic found, want to remove sharia to secularism and forbid the changing secularism to any religious regime with laws, he took actions to achieve that removing sharia in that way noone can abuse religion. Otherwise we can be like countries ruled by sharia. He did the best thing with that move it was smart and realistic decision.
@ISLAMMEHMEDOV I have been living Türkiye for 24 years and I recently found out
I live in 3. world country 😂. I suggest you to learn about my country. Also an advise to you İf you dont know something just be quiet.
@ISLAMMEHMEDOV what do you mean I dont understand what lie. Stop using google translate to comment.
0:09- Hey, I don't recognize the character at the beginning of the bottom portion of that emblem at all. It looks most like tha or maybe even a shiin, but both of those have the three dots at the top instead of the bottom. Just wondering of this is an error or a characteristic of a different script altogether? It looks too much like Arabic for me to be able to recognize it as anything else.
It is the letter P which is not in the arabic script but used in the persian script (used in Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan)
It's about time friend , keep in your mind we always come back
