💥Download War Thunder for FREE and get your bonus! ► Use my link - playwt.link/historically #ad We noticed a group of viewers being unhappy with our storytelling of the rise of Shia and the caliphs. Please keep in mind the shia movement very much existed though not officially, more politically, as they supported the caliph Ali to be the first (shiatu Ali).
I am sure I would like it. Just one problem. I will see it in 18 hours. But that is fine because it is worth waiting. I wish all readers and you Historically a lovely start to (or is it of) pride month.

Professionally made and wrong. Several mistakes here. Several mistakes in the video; First of all most of persia was NOT shia, it was only majority shia after the 16th century of the common era calendar (which was made by the way in the 6th century by Dionysius Exiguus), Second there were no 'sunni' 'shia' split post sucession, the word 'shia' literally means faction, "Shiat Ali", literally 'the faction of Ali'. Sunni means following the Sunna, which means following the path of the prophet by his habits, commands, and deeds that are reported from the companions and wives outside of the Sacred Scripture. Furtheron, there was a siege During Caliph Uthman's reign, the perpetrators of that Siege became part of the faction of imam Ali, the reason why there was a dispute was due to him having been assassinated without the assassins being punished, the assassins and the clans which formed their body refused to hand them over to Imam Ali, which is why he was having several disputes inside his faction and later what came to be known as the kharijites emerged, he had the "Most rebellious troops" as opposed to the Umayyads who had the most disciplined troops due to the Levant being ruled by Muawiya for over 2 decades at the time. The Umayyads, being the clan which the third caliph belong to, claimed to fight for justice for the assassination of the third caliph managed to win in the end when the kharijites attempted to assassinate both their leaders and Imam Ali, they survived, Imam Ali himself was assassinated. Later on the Umayyad shortly after almost collapsed when most of their territory rebelled after Karballa, but they were restored later on, but that's another story. Either way, Karballa for the next century was the focal point behind vengeance for Husayn, the grandson of imam Ali and the prophet, they recruited followers from Khorasan, Transoxiana because of the large distance, they were not Shia, they were actually Sunni as, as mentioned before, that distinction had yet to emerge. The Twelvers and the Seveners, both the major denominations of what we call shia today came 300 years later. P.S. Imam Ali also did not name a successor, even when he was explicitly asked to on his death bed because this is a kingdom of faith, and the final testament, the Qur'an had been brought down to completion. The Apostle of God (Apóstolos Dio was the final messenger's designation in Greco-Egyptian papyri), The Prophet's Farewell Sermon elucidates further on that.
Just a minor correction, the Persians were never majority shia until the 16th century. In the 8th century most shias were concentrated in southern iraq, which even then was majority proto sunni.
On top of that, there was no Shia nor Sunni sects as we know them today during that time. They were purely political parties. Mu'awiya sought revenge for Othman, Ali disagreed and said it's not the appropriate time. Some followed Mu'awiya while others adhered to their loyalty to the fourth caliph. The Kkarijites, a third party, emerged and Fought both Ali and Mu'awiya. Bottom line is, there were absolutely no sunni/shia ideological creeds at the time of the first civil war.
@@sasino4569 You are correct that initially the split was political with no major theological differences or sectarianism, but by the time of the abbasids early proto shia communities had begun to form with quite radically different theologies from their proto sunni neighbours. Generally speaking, imami shiism formed as a distinct theological community (although not quite a clear cut sect) around the mid-late 8th century.
They weren't a lot since it was only a political disagreement that has ended, IDK who turned it into a religious idea but it seems like he benefited from that quite a lot

Honestly I’m surprised he respected the beliefs of Islam refusing to let people depict Prophet Muhammad’s face. Thank you for this respect. edit: I think I started a war in the replies
Ok they were shia but not shia of today......they were shiatu Ali......which was Ali side.......... And back then also they didn't use the terms Sunni or shite.....they were all Muslims
8:50 Hello, I'm from Saudi Arabia and studied the history of the Umayyad. actually at that time even after the Abbasids planned to kill every single Umayyad some of them hidden in Damascus and many of them ran to Taif (a city south to Mecca, and still exists). they descents of those who ran to Taif live today in the same city.
thanks for the clarification man! with family lineage that huge its hard to believe all but one escapes, but perhaps the one that run to Taif are far from royal bloodline and starts to life like normal peasant so there's less story about them
@@Nashmi-JO bruh!? I meant that did they successfully escape the wrath of the Abbasid armies? And what would be their population by now? I also know they live like humans.

One correction for 3:33 during that time, not all Persian were Shia, a lot of the Persian were still Sunni, Shia being the sect of all Persian people is fairly recent only after Safavid Dynasty (since 1501 AD) took over.
@@persianhillbilly9642 No, you are wrong guys. Most of the Persians were Sunnis, not Zoroastrians, the Zoroastrian religion became a minority with the collapse of the Sasanian Empire. After the Islamic conquest all persians became sunni muslims except the north (Daylam and Tabaristan, as you said), and many Sunni scholars were persians, the most famous of them is Al-Bukhari

Tehnically this is part of European history as it ends in modern-day Spain. But still i think the continent's story was shaped by the events in Middle East and vice versa
@@andersasblom6452Just because you always watch european history doesent mean other cultures are forgotten! There are hundreds of historical documentaries of at the many cultures! The problem is your not watching or searching them and just because it somehow is related to europe doesent mean its european! Europe really just influenced the entire history of the world than others ranging from colonization to diplomacy i mean theres no spot in the european history where they did not respect and recognize Middle eastern,Asian,African,Oceanian, And American Success from battles, and diplomacy europe fought with all of them! Unlike some cultures who tend to unrecognize europes success thats just being racist! And you call the whites racist?

2:17 is not correct. All community accepted Abu Bekr, without knowing who would be next. Before he died, he suggested to the community to take Umar as next, after Umar, the most prominent people chose Usman
The Rashiddun caliphate came right out of their own civil war too, where many of their men died and were exhuasted. They were as fatigued or even more so compared to the Romans and Persians.

@@mznxbcv12345original Shia were political their beliefs was same as sunni but differed on who should have been first caliph then ibn saba in the last part of uthman ra reign and Ali ra reign created the modern day Shia where he said Ali ra should he worshipped and was later killed but the ideology was unfortunately deeply buried in the hearts of people and it ended up growing to the Shia of today

The persians at that time were not shia the majority was sunni muslim, they started to become overwhelming shia in the 16th Century during the reign of shah ismail I.
The Safavids even faced the problem of the lack of any Iranian Shiite scholars, so they encouraged the migration of Arab Shiite scholars to Iran. Many of those who held religious positions in Safavid Iran were of Lebanese and Iraqi origin, and even from Bahrain.

2:50 A correction: the head of the Ummayad Mu'awiya I didn't immediately become the caliph Just after Ali Ibn Abi Talib A.S. was assassinated his son Al-Hasan Ibn Ali R.A (the grandson of Prophet) became the 5th Caliph and kept it for 7 months before he R.A and Mu'awiya I came to an agreement and Mu'awiya I thus became the first ummayad caliph
not really mate. they were zoroastrian. Rey was captured but Ali, his companions and sons, the people there saw him as their liberator from the persian empire so followed shi'ism, it makes sense.
@@aunnaqvi3133 You are absolutely wrong. The Persians were Sunnis (thats why many Sunni Scholars were from Persian origin) but Shah Ismail of Safavids forcefully converted Persia into Shia religion.
@@aunnaqvi3133 buddy you're wrong, yes prior to Islam they were zoroastrian but that doesn't mean anything for their following of Islam Iran was primarily Sunni, mainly Hanafi and Shafi'i until the Safavids took over in the 1500s and forced conversions of Sunnis to Shi'ism

Unfortunately this orientalist over simplification of the Abbasid revolution as just non Arabs (Persians) revolting against the Umayyad still popular, it really stupid for anyone who knows about the Quraish clans dynamic and the rivalry between Yemenite and Qaissy Arabs
@@miracleyang3048without Salman Farsi (Solomon the Persian, and the traitor) there would be no Muslim empires to follow. Once Arabs colonized Persia and The Byzantine’s, the Arabs quickly flocked to Persian in search of governance of the new empire.. because you know, they’ve done it before, and they’ve done it multiple times before at that. So the Abbasids might’ve been Arab and may have been a powerful family, however they would be nothing without the political support of the Persians who were actually running the empire while the Arabs were at constant internal conflict within their families.

That's genuinely very exciting, Al-Rahman's life definitely has a lot of potential for an amazing history video, especially considering how awesome Historically's skill is to turn any piece of history into a genuinely amazing tale.
Hiya, a Muslim here🫡 I would like to point that Abd Al-Rahman name cannot be simplified as Al-Rahman. Partly because the word Al-Rahman refers to Allah as it's one of His 99 names. And also Abd and Al-Rahman cannot be separated as the Arabic grammar states. Same rule applies as someone named Ibn Battuta, had you mention Battuta without Ibn you would be referring to a complete different person. And for this instance separating it would refer to his father or grandfather or even the occupation of the family which is wayyyy too far. So yes, Arabic is not easy to learn especially for non native speakers like me😬

Thank you for being interested in my culture (and nice job potraying Arabic and Islamic clothing and architecture somewhat accurately). Could you talk next time about Idris I, who had a somewhat ressembling story? I strongly encourage you to read his story aswell, as he was the first Muslim ruler to rule Morocco, a beautiful, flourishing, rich Muslim Arab country to this day.
Why is it that Muslims don't make these animated educational videos themselves first and instead it's western TH-camrs that have to cover islamic history
@@user-op8fg3ny3j I have three theories: -They exist but not as good. -They exist and are as good but since English is far far faaaaaaaaaaaaar more widely spoken than Arabic they don't stand a chance against them in your feed. -They don't exist because Arab youth (mistakenly) think their history is boring. I do know some Arabic channels that did talk about this person, actually, and that do make some cool historical videos about Arabic history and Islamic history in general, but they either have an additional sense of seriousness (thus feeling more like a history lesson), or are less movie-seeming and fun to watch like this video.
its the first time i see a westrner depicting our history with resprect and without bias thank you for that even though there are some missing facts but in the end for 15 minutes video you did quite a good job

The Twelvers and the Seveners, both the major denominations of what we call shia today came 300 years later. P.S.

As a muslim...he whole tax thing used to be a fair deal. The non muslims were ment to pay jizya(tax) to muslims for protecting them and if muslims weren't able to do so they return the jizya money back...and the muslims are obligated to pay zakat which is more expensive. Just wanted to clarify
The kicker is that non Muslims were forced to do embarrassing and humiliating practices whilst paying and also Christian tithe is up to 10% much higher than zakat
Basically history repeat itself, when Mongol conquer Baghdad and destroy remaining Abbasid Caliphate, they also on the run and hunted by Mongol's troops.
2:05 Acually hinted many times that Abu Bakr will be next, so the companians chose him, then everyone agreed that Omar should be next, then before Omar died he chose 6 companians to elect one of them which they choose Othman by majoroty of the public vote, When Othman was killed, Muawiyah, the governor of the Levant, refused to pledge allegiance to Ali before taking revenge on the killers of the former Caliph Othman, and this was the reason for the civil war. 2:20 The Kharijites emerged from this conflict, not the Shiites. The word "شيعة" Shiites in Arabic means his group or party, which is why it was used in the civil war. The Shiites sect did not appear until 82 years after the civil war (so that is a translation error).
Us Shia believe the Prophet s.a.w chose Ali a.s in Ghadir Khumm, that’s why we see Ali a.s not being the 1st caliph as an injustice. I guess both sides seem to claim something else, in the end we will see during Judgement day. Peace be upon all that love ahlul bayt, I don’t wish to argue and insult Sunni’s when the real enemy is the people killing Palestinians.
There wasn't public vote rather it was مجلس الشورى witch is a sort of counsil made of the biggest figures witch were the companions of prophet at that time that elected othman
@@absoluterage6147 Firstly, I am Sunni, and thank you for your respect Secondly, of course Ali is a wonderful Islamic figure, but let me show you our point of view We believe that Ali is not the caliph after the Messenger for two reasons: 1. Because we believe that the caliphate is chosen by all Muslims (the people of the solution and the contract) and we do not believe that it is a property by inheritance. We also believe that all people are equal, so they all have the right to be the caliph, and the caliphate is not limited to a specific person or a specific family. 2. Our second reason is that Ali himself did not say that he was the Caliph or that the Messenger chose him, just as no one chose Ali at that time. Even his wife (Fatima) did not choose him. . I hope you understand the point, thank you ❤
@@نسيتكلمةالمرور-ذ5بironic when it was Muawiyah (a Sunni) who turned the caliphate into a hereditary empire. Didn't the prophet say in his last sermon to take Ali as the wali?
@@user-op8fg3ny3j Thank you for clarifying your point of view, but I don't think this changes anything for me I do not sanctify Muawiyah, but as a matter of fairness and historical reliability, Muawiyah is not the first to bequeath power to his son, because Ali did that before him when he bequeathed power to his son Hassan, so we can say that Muawiyah is the second to do that. . As for the word “wali,” I am an Arab, and it does not mean a president, a king, or a caliph. Ali himself did not say that this is what it means, nor did he say that he is the caliph after the Prophet Muhammad. Rather, this is a claim that came later. Thank you
great stuff, but its best if you remove the "- Historically" from your titles since it doenst really add anything and can potentially confuse people what the video is about. it's a small change but I do think it could help you guys' channel just a little bit
It’s the first time seeing your channel, and I really loved and appreciate that you respect our prophet Mohammad and his companions, by not drawing their faces. By the way this is not Ali sword 2:47 , it’s the sword that Abo Lulua Almajusi used to kill Omar.
If you're going to mention the tax on non-muslims, to be fair you should probably mention the Zakat tax that muslims were/are to pay that was even higher than their tax.
13:19 abd al rahman I wasn’t the last surviving Umayyad family member, one of marwan ii’s sons actually managed to escape to Persia while the Abbasid revolution happened, the writer of the book songs, abu Faraj al isfahani was actually the descendant of that specific son of Marwan ii that escaped to Persia.
3:19 actually islamic empires such as the ummayiads couldn’t care less about ethnicities and in fact they only taxed non muslims and gave them protection in favor

@@mznxbcv12345What can you expect from these peasants?
Just a minor correction, the Persians were never majority shia until the 16th century. In the 8th century most shias were concentrated in southern iraq, which even then was majority proto sunni.
Exactly, thanks ❤
On top of that, there was no Shia nor Sunni sects as we know them today during that time. They were purely political parties. Mu'awiya sought revenge for Othman, Ali disagreed and said it's not the appropriate time. Some followed Mu'awiya while others adhered to their loyalty to the fourth caliph. The Kkarijites, a third party, emerged and Fought both Ali and Mu'awiya. Bottom line is, there were absolutely no sunni/shia ideological creeds at the time of the first civil war.
@@sasino4569 You are correct that initially the split was political with no major theological differences or sectarianism, but by the time of the abbasids early proto shia communities had begun to form with quite radically different theologies from their proto sunni neighbours. Generally speaking, imami shiism formed as a distinct theological community (although not quite a clear cut sect) around the mid-late 8th century.
I agree + it seems that you are well informed about Islamic history @@sasino4569

Not To Mention The Fact That persians Don't Even Exist...
Underrated how? The video is choke-full of mistakes; Several mistakes in the video; First of all most of persia was NOT shia, it was only majority shia after the 16th century of the common era calendar (which was made by the way in the 6th century by Dionysius Exiguus),
Second there were no 'sunni' 'shia' split post sucession, the word 'shia' literally means faction, "Shiat Ali", literally 'the faction of Ali'. Sunni means following the Sunna, which means following the path of the prophet by his habits, commands, and deeds that are reported from the companions and wives outside of the Sacred Scripture. Furtheron, there was a siege During Caliph Uthman's reign, the perpetrators of that Siege became part of the faction of imam Ali, the reason why there was a dispute was due to him having been assassinated without the assassins being punished, the assassins and the clans which formed their body refused to hand them over to Imam Ali, which is why he was having several disputes inside his faction and later what came to be known as the kharijites emerged, he had the "Most rebellious troops" as opposed to the Umayyads who had the most disciplined troops due to the Levant being ruled by Muawiya for over 2 decades at the time. The Umayyads, being the clan which the third caliph belong to, claimed to fight for justice for the assassination of the third caliph managed to win in the end when the kharijites attempted to assassinate both their leaders and Imam Ali, they survived, Imam Ali himself was assassinated. Later on the Umayyad shortly after almost collapsed when most of their territory rebelled after Karballa, but they were restored later on, but that's another story.
Either way, Karballa for the next century was the focal point behind vengeance for Husayn, the grandson of imam Ali and the prophet, they recruited followers from Khorasan, Transoxiana because of the large distance, they were not Shia, they were actually Sunni as, as mentioned before, that distinction had yet to emerge. The Twelvers and the Seveners, both the major denominations of what we call shia today came 300 years later.
P.S. Imam Ali also did not name a successor, even when he was explicitly asked to on his death bed because this is a kingdom of faith, and the final testament, the Qur'an had been brought down to completion. The Apostle of God (Apóstolos Dio was the final messenger's designation in Greco-Egyptian papyri), The Prophet's Farewell Sermon elucidates further on that.
@@mznxbcv12345 yep
The persians at that time were not shia the majority was sunni muslim, they started to become overwhelming shia in the 16th Century during the reign of shah ismail I.
The Safavids even faced the problem of the lack of any Iranian Shiite scholars, so they encouraged the migration of Arab Shiite scholars to Iran.
Many of those who held religious positions in Safavid Iran were of Lebanese and Iraqi origin, and even from Bahrain.
Yes, not just that.

his son Al-Hasan Ibn Ali R.A (the grandson of Prophet) became the 5th Caliph and kept it for 7 months before he R.A and Mu'awiya I came to an agreement and Mu'awiya I thus became the first ummayad caliph

@@miracleyang3048without Salman Farsi (Solomon the Persian, and the traitor) there would be no Muslim empires to follow. Once Arabs colonized Persia and The Byzantine’s, the Arabs quickly flocked to Persian in search of governance of the new empire.. because you know, they’ve done it before, and they’ve done it multiple times before at that. So the Abbasids might’ve been Arab and may have been a powerful family, however they would be nothing without the political support of the Persians who were actually running the empire while the Arabs were at constant internal conflict within their families.

@@king.g-l1g The Ottomans conquered the Eastern Roman rump state(s). There is never a break in continuity of the Roman state from its very foundation in the 7th century BC to 1204 AD at the earliest and 1475 at the latest. This is a false equivalency fallacy. Stop pushing your pagan agenda like it’s legitimate history. Rome was never conquered by Christianity as much as it had an internal transition that took both bloody and peaceful shapes.
@@king.g-l1g yeah the latin romans were dead but the empire lived on in byzantium, and I dont see why the ottomans dont have that by right of conquest.

Hiya, a Muslim here🫡
I would like to point that Abd Al-Rahman name cannot be simplified as Al-Rahman. Partly because the word Al-Rahman refers to Allah as it's one of His 99 names. And also Abd and Al-Rahman cannot be separated as the Arabic grammar states.
Same rule applies as someone named Ibn Battuta, had you mention Battuta without Ibn you would be referring to a complete different person. And for this instance separating it would refer to his father or grandfather or even the occupation of the family which is wayyyy too far.

Later on the Umayyad shortly after almost collapsed when most of their territory rebelled after Karballa, but they were restored later on, but that's another story.

The Twelvers and the Seveners, both the major denominations of what we call shia today came 300 years later.

As a muslim...he whole tax thing used to be a fair deal. The non muslims were ment to pay jizya(tax) to muslims for protecting them and if muslims weren't able to do so they return the jizya money back...and the muslims are obligated to pay zakat which is more expensive. Just wanted to clarify
The kicker is that non Muslims were forced to do embarrassing and humiliating practices whilst paying and also Christian tithe is up to 10% much higher than zakat

Basically history repeat itself, when Mongol conquer Baghdad and destroy remaining Abbasid Caliphate, they also on the run and hunted by Mongol's troops.
2:05 Acually hinted many times that Abu Bakr will be next, so the companians chose him, then everyone agreed that Omar should be next, then before Omar died he chose 6 companians to elect one of them which they choose Othman by majoroty of the public vote, When Othman was killed, Muawiyah, the governor of the Levant, refused to pledge allegiance to Ali before taking revenge on the killers of the former Caliph Othman, and this was the reason for the civil war.
2:20 The Kharijites emerged from this conflict, not the Shiites. The word "شيعة" Shiites in Arabic means his group or party, which is why it was used in the civil war. The Shiites sect did not appear until 82 years after the civil war (so that is a translation error).
Us Shia believe the Prophet s.a.w chose Ali a.s in Ghadir Khumm, that’s why we see Ali a.s not being the 1st caliph as an injustice. I guess both sides seem to claim something else, in the end we will see during Judgement day. Peace be upon all that love ahlul bayt, I don’t wish to argue and insult Sunni’s when the real enemy is the people killing Palestinians.
There wasn't public vote rather it was مجلس الشورى witch is a sort of counsil made of the biggest figures witch were the companions of prophet at that time that elected othman
@@absoluterage6147
Firstly, I am Sunni, and thank you for your respect
Secondly, of course Ali is a wonderful Islamic figure, but let me show you our point of view
We believe that Ali is not the caliph after the Messenger for two reasons:
1. Because we believe that the caliphate is chosen by all Muslims (the people of the solution and the contract) and we do not believe that it is a property by inheritance. We also believe that all people are equal, so they all have the right to be the caliph, and the caliphate is not limited to a specific person or a specific family.
2. Our second reason is that Ali himself did not say that he was the Caliph or that the Messenger chose him, just as no one chose Ali at that time. Even his wife (Fatima) did not choose him.
.
I hope you understand the point, thank you ❤
@@نسيتكلمةالمرور-ذ5بironic when it was Muawiyah (a Sunni) who turned the caliphate into a hereditary empire.
Didn't the prophet say in his last sermon to take Ali as the wali?
@@user-op8fg3ny3j
Thank you for clarifying your point of view, but I don't think this changes anything for me
I do not sanctify Muawiyah, but as a matter of fairness and historical reliability, Muawiyah is not the first to bequeath power to his son, because Ali did that before him when he bequeathed power to his son Hassan, so we can say that Muawiyah is the second to do that.
.
As for the word “wali,” I am an Arab, and it does not mean a president, a king, or a caliph. Ali himself did not say that this is what it means, nor did he say that he is the caliph after the Prophet Muhammad. Rather, this is a claim that came later.
Thank you

3:19 actually islamic empires such as the ummayiads couldn’t care less about ethnicities and in fact they only taxed non muslims and gave them protection in favor
Thanks for pointing this out this annoyed me so much
@@quandaliousdingle-r3b same. The moment i heard this i paused the video and started digging in the comments 💀
@@Alrightmira this video is filled with misinformation. Can't even watch this for entertainment I stopped at maybe 7 minutes in such a shame it's obvious a lot of work was put into making this
@@quandaliousdingle-r3b Hahaha i know right the animation looks sick but it is very triggering when the information is wrong too such as Iran being shia during that era and no mention of the khawarij
same as every occupation, ottoman empire taxed even muslims and britain taxed everybody also
This is my 4th time watching this. The way u tell the story and the art is one of its kind tbh. Under rated. U need to upload more bro!!
Get this man more subs, the content is insane
