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.
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
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

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.

The 'But why..?' series continues to educate us plebs ever since it's conception, fueling the subscribers thirst for knowledge and History Matters videos. Bully for you!
I start off every video by asking myself the question in the title. "Hmmm... why AREN'T there any more Caliphs??" Love this channel at least 1/3 as much as James Bisonette
0:04 Caliph doesn't mean spiritual successors to the Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ (upon him be peace and blessings of God), but the legitimate political successors.
By this point it be Victoria 2’s timeframe and the Ottomans we're pretty much a shell of there old selves at time era. Hence the sick man of Europe title.
Afaik the reason these people didn't want the title caliph is due to the spiritual connotation surrounding the title itself. Caliph is a spiritual as well as temporal (meaning secular) leader of muslim community and despite these muslim kings being the leader of the muslim community themselves they tend to leave the religious matters to the scholar instead of the old caliph who tend to have more hands on approach towards religion. Also arab rulers tend to use the title king (Malik) instead of sultan because Sultan tend to be associated with being a client king or king of a client state. Muslim rulers in South East Asia maintained the title largely as tradition that they were subservient to the Caliph (both the Ottoman and the preceding Abbasid era)
Not true for sultan . Originally yes but the meaning evolved . An amir was originally a general then a general incharge of a caliphal province but was later used as a hereditary title for example. The Saudis took the view that the caliph should be from the quraysh which is one of the points they and other gulf states use against the ottomans which they aren't either . Probably a major reason plus they viewed a lot of practices such as the shrine building and beseeching those in shrines that occured in a lot of places to be heretical so realistically they weren't going to gain much allies but only enmity with the colonialists who may see them as claiming leadership over their subjects.
... Wow, working in that Futurama reference with "Who the Heck are the Sauds?" was a deep cut. (see "What the Heck is Kwanzaa?" the traditional book given out by Kwanzaa Bot.) +1 to you good sir.
It’s taught (in Turkey) that Abdulmecid the 2nd was elected caliph (instead of Vahdeddin) was because the Grand National Assembly thought the guy was mostly had modernistic idea that they had too, for example his daughters were open considering the times and made his livings from paintings that he made by selling the paintings to museums in France. His job was to basically entertain the Muslim world (think him like a living mascot, of Islam)(he was meant to have no power amongst the government) but his charms (i’d guess) made some of the ministers buy him a horse (a Mustang iirc). Atatürk and other ministers and mayors worried that he would have influence in the government so the caliphate was abolished and they exiled him. And he wouldn’t probably have accepted fundamental things like switching to the Latin alphabet, integrating girls and boys in a class and many more other things.
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.
0:09- Hey, I don't recognize the character at the beginning of the bottom portion of that emblem at all.

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.
One mistake though, the moroccan dynasty the allaouites aren’t descendants from the almohade ( the empire you showed) the almohade empire was berber empire made by the tribes of southern Morocco ( masmouda ) and western algeria ( zenata) while the the allaouites dynasty is an arab dynasty that claim ancestry from prophet mohamed
@@redaissami9380 i really dont have time to this, also i dont care, but morocco is just a recent country that stems from the barbary era from 1600, it was founded by the allaouite dynasty and was known as marrakesh and with translation it became morocco just like tunis tunisia and algeirs algeria, before that it was called fez and in the turkish language they still refer to you as fez, the dynasties you talking about were founded by tribes and clan that didn’t beleive in the norms of state that we have today, heck when idriss founded his state marrakesh and fez weren’t even build yet
Caliphs are not spiritual successors; there is no spiritual succession to Muhammad. His tradition has the final say on religious matters. Caliphate, is an institution based on his political succession, thus has religious implications, as a protector of the Muslim world; politico-religious is more accurate, The role of Caliph should be thus accompanied with political power; the Muslim world as a whole lost power to Western hegemony, combined with internal divisions of nationalism. I'm glad there's no Caliph - if no one has the power to represent it.
An important and interesting detail in the Hashmid claim to Caliphhood was that this family are the direct male descendants of Ali and Muhammad's daughter Fatimah, so had they been elected Caliphs, there's a large chance that both Shia and Sunni muslims would have considered their authority as legitimate and thus, perhaps, mend some of the Shia/Sunni schism.
You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. Shias beliefs have reasoning behind it. There have been many people from the descendants that claimed the title, and they are all illegitimate in the eyes of Shias. It has been predetermined who are the legitimate caliphs from the beginning, and your average joe is not one. Next time you make a claim like this, at least have some knowledge regarding it.
@@AR-rg2en Well Yazid was also a caliph technically so it's not about public support, but rather the position and power of the caliph itself(in modern day era)
@@Darkknight86291 What you are trying to say exactly? He is talking about legitimacy in the eyes of Shias, which is basically public support. Him being a caliph did not and does not make him legitimate in the eyes of Shias. The other commenter's original claim was that perhaps the Hashimites lineage might mend the schism between Shias and Sunnis. What he fails to understand is that being a descendant of the prophet (SAW) does not automatically make their authority legitimate in the eyes of Shias.
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

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

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.

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.
The titles is up for grabs
Afaik the reason these people didn't want the title caliph is due to the spiritual connotation surrounding the title itself. Caliph is a spiritual as well as temporal (meaning secular) leader of muslim community and despite these muslim kings being the leader of the muslim community themselves they tend to leave the religious matters to the scholar instead of the old caliph who tend to have more hands on approach towards religion.
Also arab rulers tend to use the title king (Malik) instead of sultan because Sultan tend to be associated with being a client king or king of a client state. Muslim rulers in South East Asia maintained the title largely as tradition that they were subservient to the Caliph (both the Ottoman and the preceding Abbasid era)
Thank you for explaining that
Not true for sultan . Originally yes but the meaning evolved . An amir was originally a general then a general incharge of a caliphal province but was later used as a hereditary title for example. The Saudis took the view that the caliph should be from the quraysh which is one of the points they and other gulf states use against the ottomans which they aren't either . Probably a major reason plus they viewed a lot of practices such as the shrine building and beseeching those in shrines that occured in a lot of places to be heretical so realistically they weren't going to gain much allies but only enmity with the colonialists who may see them as claiming leadership over their subjects.
... Wow, working in that Futurama reference with "Who the Heck are the Sauds?" was a deep cut.

It’s taught (in Turkey) that Abdulmecid the 2nd was elected caliph (instead of Vahdeddin) was because the Grand National Assembly thought the guy was mostly had modernistic idea that they had too, for example his daughters were open considering the times and made his livings from paintings that he made by selling the paintings to museums in France. His job was to basically entertain the Muslim world (think him like a living mascot, of Islam)(he was meant to have no power amongst the government) but his charms (i’d guess) made some of the ministers buy him a horse (a Mustang iirc). Atatürk and other ministers and mayors worried that he would have influence in the government so the caliphate was abolished and they exiled him. And he wouldn’t probably have accepted fundamental things like switching to the Latin alphabet, integrating girls and boys in a class and many more other things.
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.

Caliphs are not spiritual successors; there is no spiritual succession to Muhammad. His tradition has the final say on religious matters. Caliphate, is an institution based on his political succession, thus has religious implications, as a protector of the Muslim world; politico-religious is more accurate,
The role of Caliph should be thus accompanied with political power; the Muslim world as a whole lost power to Western hegemony, combined with internal divisions of nationalism.
I'm glad there's no Caliph - if no one has the power to represent it.
The Hashemite should have ruled a kingdom stretching from Syria to Yemen.

An important and interesting detail in the Hashmid claim to Caliphhood was that this family are the direct male descendants of Ali and Muhammad's daughter Fatimah, so had they been elected Caliphs, there's a large chance that both Shia and Sunni muslims would have considered their authority as legitimate and thus, perhaps, mend some of the Shia/Sunni schism.
You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. Shias beliefs have reasoning behind it. There have been many people from the descendants that claimed the title, and they are all illegitimate in the eyes of Shias. It has been predetermined who are the legitimate caliphs from the beginning, and your average joe is not one. Next time you make a claim like this, at least have some knowledge regarding it.
@@AR-rg2en Well Yazid was also a caliph technically so it's not about public support, but rather the position and power of the caliph itself(in modern day era)
@@Darkknight86291 What you are trying to say exactly? He is talking about legitimacy in the eyes of Shias, which is basically public support. Him being a caliph did not and does not make him legitimate in the eyes of Shias. The other commenter's original claim was that perhaps the Hashimites lineage might mend the schism between Shias and Sunnis. What he fails to understand is that being a descendant of the prophet (SAW) does not automatically make their authority legitimate in the eyes of Shias.
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.
