- Why did the Fatimid Caliphate collapse?
The Fatimid Caliphate was one of the Islamic entities in the Medieval Times. Although this particular caliphate only lasted from 910 until 1171 A.D., the potential was remarkable. Defying the authority and widespread influence of the Sunni Muslim Abbasid Caliphate, the Ismaili Muslim Fatimid Caliphate made its mark on history and remains a significant factor in the relevance of Islam throughout its time. So, why did the Fatimid Caliphate fall from grace after only 2 centuries? And how, exactly, did the Fatimid Caliphate collapse?

Not until watching this video have I ever heard someone pronounce ‘sunni’ as ‘sunny’
>:(
Thinking the same thing!
Had a feeling they would have pronunciation problems the moment they said syem-YOU'LL-taniously at the start of the video.
as a muslim and a arab it’s pretty funny when he pronounces words in that area
cult
Narrated `Aishah:
I used to wash the semen off the clothes of the Prophet (ﷺ) and even then I used to notice one or more spots on them.

In-book reference : Book 4, Hadith 99
"Mad Caliph" sounds like a rapper

"the abbasids invalidated the fatimid claim on the basis of being descendants of a woman"

Now this is EPIC
Sunni scholars still do not and did not validate this caliphate back then because they were Shia.

@@hartantiastutik6772 he makes a joke
The rebellions and internal strife within the fatimid caliphate devastated Egypt’s food production, which caused widespread famine and starvation in Egypt. The Al-Zahir sent Coptic Christian emissaries to Constantinople to beg the emperor Constantine Romanos III for aid, the emperor obliged and shipped grain back to Alexandria in exchange for the caliph agreeing to pay for reconstruction and repair of the holy sepulchre destroyed previously by his father.
Lol

It's not true, constantinople was paid juzia. Tribute for fatimid every year, but during almustansir starvation, the nile doesn't flow for seven years as usual and internal war between the turks and sudan, this last until almustansir hire badr eldin algamali as a prime minister, he came from the levant and defeated turks and sudan and restore the safety and organize the State.

I really enjoyed this video, informative and interesting. However, one thing: it always irks me when students, lecturers, laymen etc. - studying for a few hours at a desk before they move on with their lives - strangely forget how long a period such as 250 years is: a quarter of a millennium; (in medieval times) roughly five or six generations of kin. Talking of the Fatamid rule as 'short' and the Ayyubid rule as 'swift' when speaking of a combined period of 350 is something which, although normalised, is completely absurd. I shall now return to my hole and post one comment on another video next year.
Brilliant and objective interpretation. Re: maintaining rule over so many countries, tribes over such a vast geography over 250 years is very significant compared to what is happening in the world today when our not-so-democratic-democracies cannot maintain a stable governance structures for more than a decade. NJ
The Fatimid Caliphate is argubley the beginning of the history of the current Arabised Egypt. Building Cairo turned Egypt from a colony tossed by different empires to a centralized power and a center of culture and knowledge capable of rivaling Baghdad, Constantinople and Cordoba.
Beside that Al Hakim's persecution of Christians and banning the Coptic language heavily shaped the identity of the modern Arabic Islamic Egypt. Later the Ayyubid sultanate and Mamluk sultanate which were founded on the ruins the Fatimid Caliphate toke part in the Arabization process of Egypt.

It wasn't the tolerance and inclusion of other religious groups that was the major pitfall because that's largely how the Roman Empire was able to last 1,000 years. It was the religious intolerance and persecution that made the diversity a pitfall, and once you go to such an extreme level of persecution as came by the Mad Caliph, it's almost impossible to smooth relations over again.
No one expects the FATIMID INQUISITION
Time fell due to too many folks not assimilating to roman rule and culture.

Hey knowledgia, you speak a lot but you didn't even mention the main reason for the Fatimid collapse in the entire video....
The main reason was the Zahriya famine which heavily devastated Egypt causing people to hunt each other for food.
After this famine the power shifted from the Caliph to the viziers and nobles until finally the last vizier Saladin has overthrown the last Fatimid Caliph, claiming the restoration of the Abbasid hegemony over Egypt.
Where are you from I mean channel knowledgia in which country from?
I like knowing more about little known facts n places. And this empire was interesting. I wonder what would've happened if it had lasted longer. I wouldn't mind knowing more about them. Nice video.
If it lasted longer the world wouldn't be like you know it today
Most of the Muslim scientists and inventors who established many sciences in all fields were from the Fatimids, because the Fatimid caliphs encouraged science and scientists, even allowing all sects to teach their doctrines in the Al-Azhar Mosque at the expense of the state
Islamic terrorism wouldn'tbe exist; because it was a caliphate that spread by calling to Allah in peace, not by the sword, as is the case with other disputes
World would be a better place, but the empire wouldn't have lasted, because of European powers, and mainly because of shia/sunni dispute

I did a realistic map of Europe for Age of Empires 2 good for the Reconquista to be recreated. I plan to do one of just Iberia later if God permits.
The Spanish and Catholics were tired of the horrible rule the new migrants unleashed on them, and that actually triggered all that.
Right.
bc Christians exists
@@abc_cba that’s kind of partially true, whilst Arab immigration to Iberia did occur, many of the native Visigoths converted to Islam in the centuries following Guadalete, in the early stages of the Umayyad Emirate of Córdoba, Christian and Jewish subjects of the state outnumbered the Muslim elites and so a system was developed that was different to the rest of the Muslim world in which the non-Muslims were granted greater rights and privileges and as a result were more inclusive in Andalusian society, Jewish doctors became personal physicians of many Umayyad rulers and even rose to become ministers within their courts, the case was also similar with Christians however many did convert as they saw more opportunities of economic and societal mobility by doing so.
The author of this video understates the brilliant achievements of the Fatimid rulers by emphasizing that Fatimid rule collapsed in only 200 years. Let’s put that period in perspective. 200 years is NOT a short period to have ruled over such a vast and varied empire - especially without availability of modern tools of communication, transportation systems, defence systems etc. It must have taken significant ingenuity and strategic prowess to rule for 200 years. Comment by Nizar Jiwan, Toronto.
Agreed. Especially when you consider the number of rival powers close by , such as the Umayyads , Abbasids and Christian Europe.

Same with Egyptians, Tunisians, Lebanese, etc. Most “Arabs” today aren’t literal descendants of people coming out of the 7th-century Arabian peninsula, but that hardly matters. If the culture is sufficiently Arabized that they speak the language and self-identify as Arabs, then they may as well be considered such. We can put an asterix on that, since indigenous (Berber, Levant, Coptic Egyptian, etc) cultures surely had a massive impact on the regional diversity within the Arab world, but it’s nevertheless clear that the term “Arab” sensibly applies to them, especially when they self-identify as such.

No, the main reason for the decline is that the last caliph- Imam Al Tayyieb went to seclusion, and then the one who was appointed during his seclusion did 'dawah' to be caliph himself thus the caliphate went into wrong hands.
(Read comment for more)
Al-Malika al-Sayyida (Hurratul-Malika) was instructed and prepared by Imām Mustansir and following Imāms for the second period of satr. It was going to be on her hands that Imām Taiyab abi al-Qasim would go into seclusion, and she would institute the office of Da'i al-Mutlaq. Syedna Zoeb bin Moosa was first to be instituted to this office, and the line of Taiyabi Dā'ĩs that began in 1132 has passed from one Dā'ī to another, continuing to the present time. One of the sect which follows these Fatimid Dā'īs is the Dawoodi Bohra dawat.

Funny that nowadays the role reversed lol
Ismailis have always been tolerant. It is the essence of Islam that you treat your subjects equally.
Until the mad king
@@mnichols1979
Yes, Europeans became very intolerant from Christianity
The Romans and Hellenistic kingdoms were tolerant of other religions after their conquest, local religions survived and temples were built
Only monotheists caused some problems
Like the Seleucids with the Jews at some point (not always)
But they had an advantageous position among the Ptolemies and Jews had been made commander of the army during the reign of Cleopatra III
It was also the Ptolemies who had the Torah translated into Greek
As for the Romans, they only had problems with the troublemakers, the Jews were tolerated as long as they did not pose a problem but yes the revolts were severely repressed
And with Christians proselytizing, this caused their oppression which occurred and was violent at times but was greatly exaggerated by later Christian authors. The Christians were an extremely minority and survived, and when they began to influence the Eastern nobles/emperors like Theodosius II, they began to oppress the pagans and in just two centuries they managed to wipe out beliefs several thousand years old while practiced by the majority of the inhabitants of the empire
And it was the same pattern every time
When Christians arrived in sub-Saharan Africa or America (even if certain beliefs like human sacrifice were worse, we agree)
But I think it's the Abrahamic religions in general, fatimids were tolerant but not all of North Africa and the Middle East became Muslim because they voluntarily converted even if it was less violent, let's be honest.
So basically when they forgot the real teachings and left tolerance. Typical history.
The “mad caliphate” was one who would walk amongst his people in rags and listen to their stories. He burnt the churches and then banned religion as organised religion caused tension and hatred. He then allowed religion to be practiced in private. In his time many scientific and mathematical discoveries. He was wise and always fair. He placed himself underneath the same laws as his people. As always, anytime a leader is called the mad is usually because they fought against the greedy system.
According to the sources that we have from Middle Ages historians the Fatimid caliphate was born in modern Algeria with the berbers kutuma tribes from the Aurès in Algeria, they convert to Islam Shiia and conquered all North Africa in the name of their Arab leader and based their capital in modern Tunisia and after in Egypt
They rose by the sword and died by the sword (of pluralism)
United States circa 2021
True!
They died from internal strife, rebelling Turks and the treachery of Al Afdal Shahanshah
Isn't that every empire in history
"The Turkish owners turned to Egypt to fight the Arabs. O my Lord! Just as you gave this land to Yusuf who was righteous from the sons of Jacob, now in our age, give this land to Yusuf (Saladin Ayyubi), one of the sons of Ayyub. It cuts the veins of their legs. " (ibn kesîr, el bdaya ve'n-nihaye, vol 12, p. 456-457)
The foundation of the Fatimid Dynasty was genuinely based on Islamic principles. One of the best examples is religious freedom for their fellow religious people. Unfortunately, the history of Fatimid has been destroyed by fellow Muslim empires, not by Christians and whatever they have written about Fatimid is full of biases and prejudices and they have glorified their own history
sunny and humid
Badr al-Jamali is the reason, as he weakened the Fatimid army, killed many generals, until the Fatimid army became outdated and weak and couldn't fight the Franks
The information in this video isn't the whole truth
Histories of al-Hakim can prove controversial, as diverse views of his life and legacy exist. Historian Paul Walker writes: "Ultimately, both views of him, the mad and despotic tyrant (like Germanic and Roman despots) irrationally given to killing those around him on a whim, and the ideal supreme ruler, divinely ordained and chosen, whose every action was just and righteous, were to persist, the one among his enemies and those who rebelled against him, and the other in the hearts of true believers, who, while perhaps perplexed by events, nonetheless remained avidly loyal to him to the end." William of Tyre went so far as to claim that al-Ḥākim's destruction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in 1009 was due to his eagerness to disprove taunts that he was a Christian born of a Christian woman.
Thus he wasn't a mad king, he was called mad by his enemies becoz of jelousy....pls do some research as he is an Ismaili Imam, whose position is very high!

5:53 "A power struggle within the army between the Turks, Berbers, and North Africans" ---- That doesn't make any sense. Berbers (Imazighen) are North Africans! Maybe you are trying to say; Turks, North Africans (Berbers), and Arabs?
I was also confused by this.
And it also bothers me that they use the actual terms of modern countries instead of using their ancient names, like Ifriqiya for Tunisia, or Central Maghreb for Algeria, etc
@@SeptimiusAfer240 Ifriqiya also included eastern Algeria and Tripolitania
@@hamzahammami22 But still, the core of Ifriqiya remains modern day Tunisia. The other provinces like Constantine, Bejaia or Tripoli depend on political and administrative changes.
In fact, modern day Tunisia is Proper Africa, like Greater China is composed of Proper China with a Han majority, Mandchouria, Tibet, inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang.
@@SeptimiusAfer240 yeah of course, what I've tried to say is that Tunisia lost a lot of territories
@@hamzahammami22 by your logic Algeria also lost lots of territories? All NA empires and dynasties had lost territories because they fell and been replaced by new ones.. such as what happened to Numidia, Mauritania, Carthage etc. So it's never about modern day countries..

Abbasids were much better not saying bcoz im sunni but Alteast we could have been united and not fight with eachother Abbasids were more developed too
Fun fact:- Even though the Fatimid caliphate ended but his appointed person called Da'i is present till date

Al-Malika al-Sayyida (Hurratul-Malika) was instructed and prepared by Imām Mustansir and following Imāms for the second period of satr. It was going to be on her hands that Imām Taiyab abi al-Qasim would go into seclusion, and she would institute the office of Da'i al-Mutlaq. Syedna Zoeb bin Moosa was first to be instituted to this office, and the line of Taiyabi Dā'ĩs that began in 1132 has passed from one Dā'ī to another, continuing to the present time. One of the sect which follows these Fatimid Dā'īs is the Dawoodi Bohra dawat.
Mufaddal Saifuddin is the spiritual leader and 53rd Da'i al-Mutlaq of two million Dawoodi Bohras, a subgroup of the Tayyibi, Mustaali, Ismaili Shia branch of Islam. He is the second son of the 52nd Da'i al-Mutlaq, Mohammed Burhanuddin, whom he succeeded in 2014.

Could you do a video on end of the Rashidun caliphate??????✨✨✨✨✨
1:33 Sunny Caliphate xD
fun fact , the mad Caliph was so insane he ordered his chef to invent new food
the chef then invented a new kind of soup
the mad caliph then made it a royal edict that the soup is exclusive to himself and no common folk/subjects are allowed to make/eat it
the soup was named "Molokhia" aka "ملوخية" a deviation from the word "ملوكية" Molokiah which means "royal" since it was an "exclusively royal soup"
there is something like that in europa too.. often called russian breed. they're like cookies but not the same at all
No check this video for real fact th-cam.com/video/5uw-GtqBraE/w-d-xo.html
I believe the term used is wrong ...and u should take ur words back...according to history egypt prosperity was highest during al hakim king times
why not
Were they Arabic or Amazigh ?
The founder and ruler of the Fatimid was an Arab from the Levant, but his armies and generals were Berbers.
@@papazataklaattiranimam the first ruler was born in syria he was arab
Descendents of Fatima are Arabs
@@tamazghaunion9158 Turks* and some Berbers.
The dynasty claimed Arab ancestry but the empire was founded by Kutama Berber soldiers who were loyal to the Fatimids
Me at 5:00 am : did the fatimids collapse ? XD

Look this was impressive. However, there are some sections of the video are sort of wrong. Frist Nour Eldeen Zinki didn't invade Egypt. The real story is that crusader king Amalric gathered an army to invade Egypt the Zinki and Sheriko his army leader intervened to stop the crusade by invitation from fatamed calife to rescue Egypt. This events happened from 1163 to 1169. The second thing I wished you talk about the "الشدة المستنصرية" the mostaner famine, Egyptians at this famine ate all kind of animals donkeys, cats, dogs etc... even humans were kidnapped and eaten. not all that country had this horrible famine the countryside and upper Egypt stayed quite safe from this famine, however it was a very distinct event in the Fatimid caliphate.
Why Abbasid caliphate fell?
I am a Shiite Muslim from the descendants of the Fatimid Caliphate. The most famous scholars emerged from it, among them Abbas Ibn Firnas Ibn Al-Haytham Jaber Ibn Hibban, the scholar doctor Ibn Sina. The Fatimid Caliphate did not force anyone to change his religion or belief. It is the righteous Caliphate. i wish peace for all people
Are you from Yemen?
Till which caliph does your lineage go?
Lmao fake , filthy false caliphate
I like how you mentioned the heavy cross christians had worn in Fatimid Egypt which left the back if their head's back bone blued due to blood pressure. To this day, christians in Egypt are called "Blue Bones".
That’s the funniest BS I have ever read, we call them kafates a nick-name for copts not blue bones
@@youssefdiebbes8831 Both are used 🤣
But blue bones is their historical nickname
Fatimid Caliphate May have fallen but it’s still alive and prosperous
Fatimide caliphate never included modern day Morocco.
Seems this dynasty practiced more common sense.
Medieval (that era) history in a nutshell: common sense = stupid
