- What is Islam? A Religion? A Culture? A Civilization? Well, it's all of those. The cult of the book, that is Islam, serves as a connection between the people who pray to the same Qibla, who otherwise have nothing in common.

This is the first part of a two-part video. The second part will be coming soon. The video got too long, I had to cut it.
Thank you Syawish. Awesome video as always.
And yours isn't bad either. :D
Kidding. If we missed one more date of release for this thing, I was deleting my channel at least.
Honestly, this kind of video is a great public service. There's been a long-standing deficit of understanding of Islamic history in most places in the world - including the Muslim world, in some cases, because of inadequate education infrastructure, sadly.
One thing I will suggest, in general. Don't shy away from the history of violence, political and religious persecution, slavery and imperialism. I know the topics can be sensationalized in political ways in the West because of tensions in the past century. However, the past half century of self-critical introspection in the West, reevaluating it's modern history of imperialism, racism, sexism and homophobia has been very beneficial. Imagine the positive change that could come if the Islamic world did the same, instead of trying to defend or even recreate its past. The glories of the Islamic Golden age are indeed impressive (and overlooked in the West) but in the Muslim world they are often used to whitewash the history.
Thanks for your dedication to history education.
Assalamu alaikum Brother am begging you to start talking about black muslim empires like the Mali empire from Mansa Musa or the Ajuran empire from modern day somalia, or the side story of how some islands in the maldives became Muslim (which involved a somali man known as "Abd Al Aziz of Mogadishu") or the somali diplomat who brought the first giraffe in East Asia and gifted it to the Chinese emperor known as Said, all happening during the golden age of somalia. Both men were included in the book written by Ibn Battuta where he met them both. There is so much islamic history in west and east Africa I beg you brother to please talk about it
Yo syawish why did you delete your Muhammad the Preacher/leader video ?
Where can I find those video?
Perhaps the best video you've made so far. Also, now the best video on TH-cam summarizing the first half of Islamic history.
Wow
I agree, this is wonderful. Everyone should be able to enjoy this short, concise history of the middle east/Islam
You Should make series on the 'SAFAVID DYNASTY' and 'Ottoman dynasty' rulers just like the Mughal series.
Facts bro I would love to see that
Heavy on safavids
Safavids ruined iran
Very good introductory video for those new to your channel. Even though you have covered many of the topics and eras in detail already, I understand having a video like this is also important.
Yes. I was recently talking to someone and found out that just starting somewhere is overwhelming for people who don't have any understanding of Islamic History so, this video is for them to start from.
@@AlMuqaddimahYT It's COMPLETELY unacceptable you skip over horn of Africa which was ESSENTIAL to the inception of Islam
Somalis were muslim DURING the life of the prophet BEFORE the companions even had control of Makkah
The companions of the prophet were under religious persecution by the pagan arabs and hence the Prophet sent them to the horn of africa where they could seek refuge in the court of the Christian King of Axum...
Al Nejashi Mosque was built in the Ethiopian city of Negash
Masjid al-Qiblatayn was built in the Somali city of Zeila
Mosque of the Companions was built in the Eritrean city of Massawa
ALL BEFORE THE DEATH OF THE PROPHET
Been binging your videos for a bit and it was a blessing to see this pop up on my recommended. Would love to see you cover the Islamic empires of Africa like the Mali, Songhai or the Moroccan kingdoms if you havent already
I loved the small sarcastic phrases thrown here and there!
Awesome video! Looking forward to part 2!
Incredibly ambitious video, Excited for part 2!
Well researched and well presented, good info video
Fantastic video, thank you!
Great video 👍
Wonderful video
liked it, loved it!!!
Islam has both a religious aspect and a civilizational aspect. In addition to being a religion, Islam is a civilization force that combines with other civilizations to produce something new.
Thanks!
Thanks for this interesting video.
May I suggest that you create a playlist with somewhat chronological order for binge watching?
Wonderful free informative and enlightening content absolutely love your stuff ❤️❤️❤️❤️
bro i love your voice. it's so soothing
Syavish please make a video on the delhi sultanete, there is no quality video on the topic in the internet!
Great job as always.
what is islam? it's pretty neat that's what
thanks fo rmaking these videos man, theres not as much scholarly content on islam here on youtube :) love to see it
This was not a video about Islam. This was a video about history of Muslim Empires.

Very ambitious video and the result of your efforts bears fruit! Great job.
Can you do a video about where you get all the art for your videos? It's really good. Thanks
YOUR VIDEOS ARE ALWAYS A BANGER❤
14:37 had me on the floor
Loved the sarcasm😂😂
Great video, why TH-cam cannot monetise this video though?
Wow man, great to see your face
That GOD WIILED IT reference tho..😂😂
Could you guys make a video about the school of Islamic philosophy, e.g., Mutazilah, and its impact on Muslims thinking on scientific discoveries? Thanks!
You mean Muslims taking Greek discoveries from Oriental Christians.
Hey Syawish. Love your videos. Can you please make a video on the Sikhs and Mughals?
Please explore North Africa (beyond Egypt) as well.
I would like you to cover African islamic history as well as Malayan history... loved your content from india
With the Abbasid Caliphate mentioned here, what do you think of their relations with the Roman Empire at the time? Did the Abbasid Caliphs make the right call to not pursue the expansionist policy? And how do you think they influenced each other?
Im confused, what was the demonetized part at the beginning? I feel like the joke went over my head
Basically it's a stand in for terrorism.
Its always a good day when Al Muqaddimah uploads !!!!
Keep it up. Regards from Ukraine
Bro has the VOICE for this.
Did u remake this video or repost it?
Amazing to see you back, could you ever make a video on Nader Shah?
Such a rich history completely side lined in western curriculum. No surprises there unfortunately.
Part 1 is great. Hopefully Part 2 explains about the Ottomans, the Mughals, Sultanates in Southeast Asia like Malacca and Acheh and Safavids of Persia. Not to mention the Islamic presence of the Philippines before colonised by the Spaniards
Bro where is part 2
GOAT
Well the second half be also released?
I would enjoy a video about the relation between Islam and Democracy. In Europe there are many Christian Democratic parties which build on christian values, but are not Christian in a way they want to introduce a by the book reading of Christian law. I often hear how parties that are influenced by Islam are described as islamist, moderate islamist or supportive of islamic democracy.
It would be very interesting to see a comparision, especially in modern party politics. In Germany recently a party was founded to support interests of muslim immigrants but many call this an attempt of a foreign leader (in this case Turkey) wanting to split the society and it has been compared to another far-right party.
This makes me a bit frustarteed because I believe islamic values and ideas within Democracy are very interesting; especially because there is much propaganda from all sides where I live that I have never heared an honest discussion and comparision between the different forms of islamic democracy. Do all islamic parties want to introduce sharia? What are different views of Sharia? Somaliland and Saudi Arabia both claim to build a muslim society based on sharia, but one is a monarchist and one a multi-party democracy in which one party copied a finnish party.
Might be a divisive topic, but its also something I as a non-muslim want to learn more about as in European media things are influenced by both nationalists that want to exclude muslims for being "anti-democracy" and foreign media from non-democratic nations that also don't like muslim democracy, because they are often monarchist or have strong authoritarian leaders.
First there is no country on Earth right now that fully follows the sharia
Second islam can go with democracy ( will if we can consider democracy a good way of ruling is another thing ) I think you heard about the ways that the Rashidun caliphs were put into office by being elected by a council and then accepted by the people of every province called bai'a بيعه or chosen by there predecessor or chosen from some people nominated by a predecessor and in all of those bai'a is needed ( atleast in sunni Islam ) so yeah Islam is compatible with democracy
Third sharia isn't really like what people think it's, it's main objectives is to deter criminals, inforce justice and law and to purifie wrong doers because in islam if you wasn't punished for your crime in earth you will be punished in heaven and your sin won't be forgiven and it's not even as cruel as people think like cutting the hand for theft it has to make 60 conditions to happen like not forced to do it and not out of hunger and certain amount of time didn't pass and so on
it is the Universality of the Koranic Message which has meant that people who had nothing in common ended up having a lot in common.
This a-spatial and a-temporal universality means that the History of Islam should be different from the History of Muslims in the sense that Islam descends from Heaven while Muslims take the opposite path by rising towards the Koranic Ideal.
Hoping he does a history video of the Arab world right before Islam and another on the prophets full life
Next Islam in Southeast Asia pls

The Virtues of the Turks
The Turk has with him at the moment of attack everything he needs for himself, his weapons, his mount, and equipment for it. His endurance is quite amazing for long riding, continuous travel, lengthy night trips, and crossing a land. For one thing, the horse of the Khariji [a warrior identified with a radical Muslim rebellion in southern Iraq] does not have the endurance of the Turk's mount. The Khariji is not good at caring for his horse except as riders care for their steeds. The Turk is more skilled than the veterinarian and better at teaching his mount what he wants than trainers. He bred it and raised it as a foal. It followed him if he called and galloped behind him when he galloped. . . . If you sum up the life of the Turk and reckon his days you will find he sits longer on the back of his mount than on the face of the earth. The Turk rides a stallion, or a mare, and goes off on a raid, a trip or hunting expedition or some other project.
Then the mare and her foals follow him. If he is unable to hunt people, he hunts wild animals. If he is unsuccessful in that or needs nourishment, he bleeds one of his riding animals. If thirsty he milks one of his mares. If he wants to rest the one under him he mounts another without touching the ground. There is no one on earth besides him whose body would not reel against eating only meat. His mount is likewise satisfied with stubble, grass, and shrubs. He does not shade it from the sun or cover it against the cold. . . .
The Turk is a herdsman, groom, trainer, trader, veterinarian, and rider.
A single Turk is a nation in himself.

Anybody knows trusted websites that offer Islamic History courses?
There nothing trustworthy in Islam.

This is exactly how I want to learn about Islamic history..totally unbiased
Unbiased? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
While other think about the Roman Empire, I think about the Islamic Golden Age. With great sadness, because i see there's no way in hell we could repeat that.
I know abit of saladin!
14:14 and I thought that time Christians had three popes was insane.
You failed to mention kawarij
Did I imagine the rhymes? 😅
Do you support two state solution?
There is no solution. One will destroy the other or one will dominate the other or one will conform to the other. learn history.
"Did I mention there were Muslims in India"? No, no you didn't? Hehehe...
A lot of information in just 20 minutes.
At some point you should really talk about or at least acknowledge Islamic Africa. I know it's probably not on purpose, but it's terrible and wrong that people can make videos about "Islamic History" or "Islamic Civilization" and not even acknowledge sub-Saharan Africa.
If you're not already familiar, good places to start would be the works of Mustafa Davis, Sylviane Diouf, Jean Boyd, Dr. Rudolph Bilal Ware, Robinson, Tarikh Fattash, Tarikh Al-Sudan, and anything you can find on Kanem-Borno, which is criminally under-studied it seems like. Those authors may be covering periods much later than your focus but they all have chapters that discuss foundational information about African Islamic civilization and it shouldn't be hard to back-track from there.
African Islamic history is not theologically, statistically, demographically or intellectually any less essential to mention than, for example, Persian. It is equally importance. Imagine doing a video on the entirety of Islamic history and never mentioning Persia or Persian people and culture(s). Morally and religiously speaking, you can actually say that the heart of Islamic thought and movement moved west into north and West Africa as it became morally and politically bankrupt in the Arabic and Persian speaking worlds. And is therefore *more* important to study and discuss.
It's COMPLETELY unacceptable.

Dont take my question in any bad way. Just wanted to ask are u a muslim?
Why does it matter?
@@king_halcyon just asking
The mongols were brutal it was ironic that after the fracture of the mongolain empire, two thirds of the khanates converted to Islam well after the siege of Baghdad.
And usurped Arab lands and taxed them heavily and took their sovereignty away from them. After raping hundreds of women and creating bastard half mongol half Arab mutt children who went on to become despots and villains… these are facts
Great video, the Umayyads built the largest Islamic empire in history
Third largest empire.
no it is the largest Islamic empire in history. who do you think was larger?@@KILLER.KNIGHT

The noblest of these nations that were not interested in science are the Chinese and the Turks. The Chinese are the largest of the peoples by number, the most imposing by kingdom, and the most considerable by territory. The domains they occupy are in the eastern parts of the inhabited world, between the equinoctial line to the extreme of the seven climates to the north. His share in knowledge (ma'rifa) is to surpass all nations in mastery of handicrafts and perfection of graphic arts. They are the most suffered of men in the prolonged effort, which the improvement of the works [supposes], as well as in enduring the harshness of the penalties in the perfection of the arts (sana'i").
As for the Turks, [they] also form a great nation with numerous troops and an imposing kingdom. The domains they inhabit are found between the eastern regions of Juräsän, [on the side] of the Islamic empire, the western regions of China, northern India, and the extreme north of the inhabited world. Their virtue is that they stand out and achieve supremacy in doing war, as well as in the elaboration of weapons; for they are the most skilful of men in horsemanship and [warfare] tactics, and the keenest of eyes for spearing, striking with the sword, and shooting arrows.

Do you think Al Mahdi will be Turkic?
@@Nobody-yq9fk
If you are talking about sunnis it can't be as they believe him to be descendent from the prophet and has a similar first name and second name which is Muhammed ibn Abdullah
Chinese not interested in science, that's a lie. There siege weapons tell different story, ask the Gengiz Khan who completely obliterated the Turks using chinese siege weapons.
@@omaraboal-azm8705 Indidnt ask you that. I asked you what you think. Who are you?
@@Nobody-yq9fk
I'm neither a sunni nor a shiite I'm simply a muslim and I do believe in the sunni position about the Mahdi which some shiits although believe in except the tewelvers who are the main shia branch today
And I'm just a humble Muslim who just love to change the stereotype about my religion to what it's really is

Sufism #1
For the Fatimids, you didnt have a separate column and the only achievement you were able to highlight that they were the first shia dynasty. Really? for a caliphate of 266 years, you literally ignored all of that in the name of shia sunni rivalry in the middle east.. I used to thought that you were quite neutral when quoting history but then again in the words of Imran Khan "neutral sirf janwar hee hota hai" ..
Somalia eritrea and ethiopia have qiblatayn masjids and protected the companions of the prophet yet no mention?
He Didn't mention Battle of Yarmouk, very pivotal in Islamic history, but this is suppose to be in twenty minutes or less.

The history of Islam and its caliphates are so UNDERRATED in the west and we all know why. As a American who is also ashamed to be one.. I always find myself in awe of the history behind it. It’s beyond saddening to see how it has been shoved down my fellow Americans throats to look at it as something that’s evil and brutal… It sickens me to my stomach knowing that it’s the complete opposite. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
this is now outdated
Ali was the right choice! Amen brother!!
WHY SPEAKING SPEAKING ENGLISH BUT SPELLING SOME WORDS IN ARABIC WHICH SOUNDS PRETTY WEIRD AND RUDE????

You are also pronouncing many Persian/Turkish names and words in Arabic voices which pretty false and funny.
Whoever told you to be funny in your videos is not looking out for your best interest. You're ruining your own video.
Aren't you gonna say may allah be pleased with him at the end of the name of sahaba and take their name with utmost respect ?
It's not wajib.
@@egascosmic414 but it's an act of respecting and honouring them
It’s a compilation overview of Islamic traditional history and secular history put together for a viewer wanting to learn about historic Islamic civilization. Everything isn’t within the religious view’s context. 🤷🏼♂️
@@ahmedhusayn8141 still. It is not wajib. It is a good tradition that gives the sahaba the respect they deserve. And people who said it with best intention may get reward from God. However, people deciding not to say it everytime a sahaba is mentioned is not the end of the world.
The sahaba were not divine, were not prophets or messengers of God, and they are not infallible. There is no explicit command from the Quran or prophet's teaching to say it everytime some sahaba is mentioned.
Saying may allah be pleased with them or radiyallahu 'anh is a positive thing. It's not a bid'a. But making it as if it is obligatory for every muslim to say it, can be a ghuluw or even a bid'a.
Ew. Sahaba were never honorable. 😂

Yo im atheist i just fuck with the islami aesthetic 🔥🔥☪️
What’s the aesthetic?
The “so-called dark ages” comment regarding Europe was unfortunate and avoidable.
I don’t understand what’s wrong with saying that.
I am afraid, but its not "so-called" its quite literal Dark Ages
@@mekiscool9422 The notion that an entire continent fell into a millenium lacking scientific, material, cultural, and human merit or advances (and even retrogressing with regard to prior ages) is bad historiography that speaks more to the needs and prejudices of later societies rather than the Middle Ages themselves. It was not a dark age and in fact far from it, but the phrase has an unfortunate resilience in certain aspects of the popular mindset. I’m not saying that Al Muqaddimah is making such a claim but it’s regrettable that he gave such a phrase further publicity via his platform.
@@tdmthomaseh while i do agree with your overall sentiment. I think calling it a dark age compared to what came before and after is more then justified. It is not that there were no more scientific studies or that no progress happened . Its the decentralized , constant warfare , loss of trade routes established by rome and in general the aftermath of an empires fall .
@@tdmthomas But this is what the term 'so-called' means. It is added to suggest that the name a thing has is not reflective of what it truly is or was.
Can people PLEASE STOP CALLING MUHAMMAD A PROPHET ! He is not a Prophet.
Even if we stop calling him a prophet, it won't change the fact the he is a prophet.
What is he then
He is a prophet much like any other religious leader. Whether he was a true or false one is up to you. Don't play with definitions.
Cry about it
Yeah bro the vast majority is Muslims also teach that Jesus Christ is also a prophet and preach his word far more than Muhammad, so in fact Muslims are so close to being Christians.
Fantastic video! Looking forward to part 2
