    Hey guys, I'm one of the co-creators of this series and I hope you enjoyed it! Before watching this video, it is recommended to watch our first season of Early Muslim Expansion to get better context. The link is in the description. There are more battles soon to come so stay tuned for more!

    you can kinda imagine the despair of the sassanids, its not like their commanders were incompetent or cowardly, they were simply outplayed at every turn by the arabs

    Mongols, arabs, vikings. Never underestimate people born in hardships for they have the strength to achieve victory.

    Salman al-Farsi also recommended a trench be dug around Madinah before 10,000 Meccan and allied forces could attack. Hence it was called the Battle of the Trench, or Al-Khandaq. It saved a lot of lives as only a few foolish horsemen tried to ride through the ditch only to be shot by arrows.

    A video on the Rashidun/Umayyad army structure. So we can see how they were winning so many battles whilst outnumbered.

    Khalid Ibn Al Walid is one of my favorite of all ancient generals and battle commanders, what a wonder it would be to be able to witness the events of his era. His generosity is what led to his dismissal, but in my opinion it only made him greater. He wasn’t as attached to materialistic things as others were, often greatly rewarding his men.

    How can they possibly be defeated when they either march for the victory or martyrdom, these are the men who were humble worshippers by night but by day they were fierce warriors.

    The Muslim army generals won almost every 1-on-1 engagement. What was their secret/training to accomplish this?

    1/3rd of the early Muslim men died on battlefield. And almost 100% of muslim men in that era participated in some battle in their lives.

    A lot of the credit for these victories should go to Khalid bin al-Waleed, even though he didn't personally command some of the later major battles.

    Military commanders of the past: comes forward in a duel putting his life on the line and propably dying in front of his own soldiers. Massive balls. Military "commanders" today: hides in an unknown bunker and sends airstrikes against a bunch of underarmed people thinking he's the real shit. Playstation cowards
