- As he landed on the shores of Spain, he looked back over the sea, beyond which there was a different world. One, he was once destined to rule but then, he wasn’t. Running for his life, leaving behind everything he ever knew, Abd al-Rahman finally had found a home in Al-Andalus, Muslim Spain.
For the next 700 years, Muslim presence on the Iberian Peninsula changed the course of history. Not only did Arab and Berber traditions found their way to Spanish culture but also, by extension of their empire, found their way to the New World. For instance, did you know that California means "Land of the Caliph"?
The research for this episode was mostly from Muslim Spain and Portugal by Hugh N. Kennedy.

damn, that quality is surely outstanding! I am very surprised that this channel isn't bigger
Probably because my lazy ass doesn't upload videos regularly. :'(
@@AlMuqaddimahYT well, as long as the quality is up its all good imo
Al Muqaddimah ... You're amazing. You also talk too fast for me to follow at full comprehension. This video has 12 minutes of top notch content jam-packed into 6 minutes of runtime. Slow down, sir! You're WORTH it!
@@AlMuqaddimahYT IMO it’s just starting to be acceptable for many Western Nations to explore Islam and it’s history again. Since 9/11, it’s been more difficult to discuss Islam openly in the States and that’s lasted from almost 2 decades
I really love your channel, as Muslim history is fascinating, yet widely unknown. I particularly like to hear the names in their correct pronounciation.
I don't know if that's just me, but I think you're talking way too fast at times. It's just but a little nitpick, but as a non-native speaker, it's been bodering me a bit.
On the other hand, I didn't even notice how fast those 6 minutes flew by, so that's a good thing, I suppose?
Keep up the good work!
Amazing content as always, keep the astonishing work!
This channel deserves more credit and followers, I love this!
You never fail man. This channel is going to grow EXPONENTIALLY. I can feel it.
The quality is amazing. Maps and graphics enrich so much the viewing (and learning) experience
I like the zoom in on the map and the overall animations and info-text boxes were neat, too! :)
Amazing. Waiting for the upcoming episodes😍
Fascinating as always!
Wow, your channel is underrated. Keep up the great work!
Great video as always. Proud to have muslim islamic content with high quality in youtube
This is epic content. Really like it.
Finding this channel made me happy but it's just the fact that tariq ibn ziyad is portrayed as black and scary 0:45 while he was blond with blue eyes, those pics are made by westerners , and if you see all characters portrayed by them all Muslims look scary. I hope you mention that public gardens were invented in Andalusia by Muslims, keep up the great work, subbed!
Dude. Black people aren't scary and he wasn't white. He was a Berber from North Africa. He was black or at least tan. Even if he was an Arab, he wasn't white and blonde with blue eyes. He was of a darker skin, man.
@@AlMuqaddimahYT Bro wallah I didn't say black people are scary , there is portrays of sultan mehmed and Suleiman of ottoman empire as scary white people, its about facial features, like eyebrows ext.. And I'm from the region tariq was born and documents say he was from mountains of Oran , very white people (kabylia) and there is many who described him. I'm just saying that the westerners draw all our our military leaders, scientists in a scary way, please don't hate me :(
@Al Muqaddimah I have to agree with@@defenseandgeopolitics, Tarik wasn't exactly super dark or at least he mocked some ibenian for been whiter than them.
Great episode brother
Great maps dude! :)
Good job a very brief and thorough video.
Keep it up but try to make the videos 10 mins 😊
Great video
U deserve more subscribers dude
Love this channel, had to sub!
Another great video! Always look forward to these when they hit the tube.
Sehr gut gemacht 👏🏻 😁❤️
Editing is excellent.
I love The Umayyads, great video
As far as I know, the place name California derives from a fictitious island present in a 16th century chivalry novel: the island of California, belonging to some Amazons whose queen was called Calafia. I have never heard that California means 'The land of the caliph'. Can you cite the source of that information, please?
Great Vid, what is the song used during the explanation abdalrahmans expansion in the beginning?
Great content, i just discovered your channel and i'm loving it.
I have a question.
Did Abd al-Rahman not run to Sudan first? Took one of the prices of Sudan as his wife?
i was reading about the Umayyad connection to a tribe in Sudan, and there was a part about that. Does that story have any truth?
Beautiful masterpiece. May Allah increase you in knowledge. 😀
I recall seeing a documentary on the Caliphate in Córdoba, I believe on PBS some years ago. It was excellent. I’ll go through your set soon when I have the time.
The founder of the Umayyad state is Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan Al Qurashi He was a friend of the Prophet Muhammad , and he born in Mecca, which is located today in Saudi Arabia , And The Quraish tribe to which the Umayyads belonged had no exist in the Levant before the Islamic conquest , the Alhambra Palace has an inscription mentioning the great father of the Arab tribes in the Arabian Peninsula (Adnan and Qahtan). Saudi Arabia consists of the Qahtan and Adnan tribes , The Umayyad Caliph Abd al-Malik bin Marwan said (I will not keep the Our books and library of the Arab Umayyad state between the hands of Persians and Romanians (and the Copts 🇪🇬) and (the Syriacs 🇸🇾🇱🇧🇵🇸), and I will not keep the Arab state submissive of Byzantium) , The Umayyad army was the Arabs from Arabian Peninsula , The Umayyads were choosing leaders for the countries they conquered from Arabian Peninsula, especially the areas in Saudi Arabia Today
I support you!
First and foremost, great content. It’s nice to see the other face of the coin in medieval Iberia. On the other hand, as some other comments points, I think the serie might be greatly improved with other episode about Tarik (Tariq ibn Ziyad).
Some minor points:
0:41 The colonists were referred as Antioquians by Christians, and considered a smaller contingent than Berbers. They came as a result a Berber revolt, and were granted a Yund.
The maps are in general well done, but the Kingdom of Asturias seems too big for 755CE. Case in point the banks of Duero river were the norther limit of the Yund and León has taken by the kingdom just in 754CE.
0:48 The boats were from Olbán de Septa (sometimes Julián de Ceuta) an Arrian Visigotic count. No wander Tarik was so liberal in their use :-D
1:47 Yemenis were high echelons over a majority of Ibero-romans peasants, Visigotics nobles dissatisfied with Nicean creed and Berber contingents. Please, some more credit to Visigotics converts to Islam.
A bit of religious context by @Extra Credits:
th-cam.com/video/hZsZXHPDwsw/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/6d2lOQpuqd4/w-d-xo.html
3:55 Great extended version of the Carmona siege, I was solely awake of the aftermath with the head.
4:51 The Song of Roldan is absolutely fictitious, asseverating ideas like Zaragoza has placed in a mountain. As you referred any pact for Suleiman Al-Arabi was trashed by, and this is highly debated, Basques, Cantabrians, Nicean Visigotics or a mix of the above mention.
Other issue with the maps the Umayyad never came near Pyrenees mountains. The territory of Al-Husayn was promptly retake by Frank/Visigotic forces. After in 795 CE Charlemagne created a buffer area of counties called the Marca Hispanica.
As I said great content never the least. Keep going :-)
The maps are a bit difficult to create so they're never 100% accurate. See, usually, you know that this city was taken in this year by this king but you never know if a smaller city next to it was seized or not. So, there's issues with maps in all my videos. Think of it as a visual aid rather than a main point of the video.
I thank you for your comment, I learned a few new things.
Good work
Very good! Very epic!
can I know what is the name of background music used in this video?
This video is very educative.
great contents! so far it is the only (afaik) channel by muslim doing muslim documentaries... just one request, can you be just a bit slow? it'll be very helpful to hear what you say and see whats on the screen.. thanks!
So, this week's winner for Pineapple Hunt is... NO ONE! None of you could find the pineapple in this video. I mean, come on! NO ONE!

Abu al-a’la al-yahsubi was abu-alsubah al-yahsubi’s cousin I believe,and abu al-subah was the leader that helped abdulrahman ibn muawiya in the First place,but he was still conspiring against him,he was using him as a way to gather more troops against al-fehri,which was the qaysiah tribes leader,who was helped by al-sumayl ibn hatim,who was a powerful man.
This is my favorite video so far. I love this channel
Keep Up 👆 The Good Work

Thank you. I'll try.
Very interesting!
This CONTENT IS cool Masha Allah
Nur beim Übersetzung brauchst du kleine Hilfe Außerdem es ist echt toll gemacht 👌🏻👏🏻
Which software and map you used for editing??
Salam aleykoum brother. Do you allow me to translate your work in French and diffuse it on my social network?
I'd rather you contribute subtitles to my videos.
@@AlMuqaddimahYT ok in sha Allah
I am sad for what we lost
Bro plzzzz plz go in very detail of this topic. Will be grateful
Abdul Rahman Ben Muawiya The man who fled from the Levant to North Africa and then descended on the Iberian peninsula has no other server except Badr, the Iberian peninsula, and then start building a strong and sophisticated state,
At least by Christian sources he was considered a Umayyad vassal with moderate autonomy.
Z urita
I do not understand🤔
I was refering to the administration of Antioquians as state bulders, maybe you where refering more specicaly to Abderraman as a Big Man historical figure. It was more an historiografic consideration, but sorry if I bothered you.
That was very good, can you tell me which software do you use for animation??
Adobe After Effects.
@@AlMuqaddimahYT thanks bro but can you name some of the effects you used? It be very generous. I need some of the effects in my project.
I have feeling that u name ur channel after ibn e khaldun's incredible work named MUQADDIMAH (tarikh ibn e khuldun)
I did, yes. Didn't you see my video on Ibn Khaldun?
@@AlMuqaddimahYT that's great. I will check all of'em ASAP thanks
Is the pineapple identical to the one Pope Urban II holds in the intro?
No.
And we syrians are still in love with the umayyads
Come didn't they killed Muhammad's family and the rashiduns and abbassid where better than them
And whe imazighen/berbers crushed the unjust leaders until abdul-rahman
Umayyads made Syria Great
we we we 😂 I just enjoy human history.
The umayyads slaughtered and persecuted the family of the prophet, destroyed the pure caliphate, and imposed jizya on Muslims
Interesting view that Kennedy has about Abd al-Rahman. Other sources, written much closer to the events, say that he was, more-or-less, allowed to escape because the Abbasids didn't place much importance on him. He was one of many grandsons of the Caliph and, as his father had died when he was just a few years old and having only minimal interaction with the court, he was considered to be a minor prince and, though he was chased, he wasn't pursued. When he reached Ifriqiya, the Fihrids initially provided safety but soon grew suspicious of the large number of Umayyad court officials arriving, thus they 'suggested' he move on. Ironically he did move on, killed the Fihrid governor of al-Andalus, and began ruling. Some sources contradict the currently prevalent view that he was the sole member of the ruling family to escape, being joined by a half-brother later in al-Andalus and that his mother and sisters escaped the Abbasid purges.
I’m curious about Muslim Spain. I’m Cuban and Puerto Rican but my surname is Arabic in origin yet I don’t have any middle eastern or North African ancestry in my dna. So I wonder how my name came to be? Maybe the Muslims force some in Spain to adopt Muslim names?
It's possible one of your ancestor was a Muslim Andalusian who converted to Christianity. In addition to that, I recently read that some names that are thought to be Arabic are actually Latin and they went from Latin to Arabic as well but I guess, I might be able to tell more if I knew your last name.
Also, last names aren't something people are forced to adopt.
@@AlMuqaddimahYT camejo. When I looked it up and I guess it means camel in Arabic or at least that’s what googling told me.
I'm Dominican and my friend's (who is, well, Dominican) last name is Medina, obviously referring to the city. We Hispanic Caribbeans are obviously going to score varying mixtures depending on our own family histories, but a lot of Canarians migrated to Cuba, PR, DR, Venezuela, etc. and many score North African because of that. Peninsular Spaniards generally score very low (if any at all) North African DNA and the only region of Spain with any real significant genetic imprint is the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa, because of admixture between the Iberians and the indigenous Guanches.
0:40 this is why Alhambra palace is very similar to the syrian architecture
Please an episode about muslims and vikings , there is historical shared history in the andalus era .
*ck2 intensified*
IKR! Love that game.
@@AlMuqaddimahYT same. What is not to love at it?
Who are the Asturias in the north? Were they a Christian or Muslim dynasty?
Christians. They and other dynasties later expelled the Muslims.
Asturias is a place, at that time the north was a under continuous power struggles.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Asturias?wprov=sfla1
If you really need put a name to the ruling family cantabro-pelayans, but far from a real dynastic line.
The Kingdom of Asturias (today an autonomous community of Spain, the Principality of Asturias, from which the title of the Spanish Crown Prince is styled Prince/ss of Asturias) is the only Christian stronghold in Iberia to have never gone under Muslim rule. They have a saying, "España es Asturias y, lo demás, tierra conquistada" meaning Asturias is Spain and, the rest, conquered territory. There are some famous Christian nobles in Iberian history from this region, with King Pelagius of Asturias (Rey Pelayo), a Visigothic nobleman, being particularly legendary. He is credited with with initiating the Reconquista of Iberia from the Moors, and establishing the Asturian monarchy, making him the forefather of all the future Iberian monarchies (hence the title Prince/Princess of Asturias for the heir apparent/presumptive in Spain).
in a way he was a sovereign prince/duke cause a emir is a Islamic version of the European title so in a sense, Abd-al-Rahman was at the same political status as the future dukes of Austria.
I would love to see a video of the beautiful mess Andalusia was, between all the Tawa'if, origins, ethnicities and the lands they ruled over.
I have made a video on that. Hope you like it.
@@AlMuqaddimahYT Yes, I saw it, and I love it. As a guy whose very knowledgeable on the Islamic history in general. I must say that these side details of Islamic life, like the minor lords, warfare, clothing, food, music. These little details aren't discussed at all, and at many times our perception of life in the Islamic middle ages are completely skewed by Aladin style fantasy orientalism, because Muslims never took to illumination. It really pains me that 80% of the Islamic civilization is lost because of religious zealously towards the art of illumination.
@@AlMuqaddimahYT That's said I would love to see a Lindy Bage style deconstruction of Islamic martial arts for example. Or Chadiversity like explanation Muslim fort construction. Maybe go in deeper detail on the Arab agricultural revolution.
I wish they would make a movie on a particular era of Al-Andalus. Probably the later Umayyad rule would be most interesting.
Why isn't this channel exploding?
Idk. My lazy ass doesn't make enough videos?
*Iberian Peninsula(there were neither Spain nor Portugal)A very good video and approach👏, but why this mistake?

Whar happened next
Next episode will be released next Friday.
*Umayyad Kingdom* * *not caliphate*
Caliphate only lasted 30 years. Abu Bakar, Omar, Othman, Ali, Hassan.
Caliphate = Shawra + Bayaa = technocratic democracy.
Also according to Hadith :
روى الترمذي بإسناده إلى سفينة مولى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: ((الخلافة في أمتي ثلاثون سنة ثم ملك بعد ذلك))
وعند الإمام أحمد من حديث سفينة أيضاً بلفظ: ((الخلافة ثلاثون عاماً ثم يكون بعد ذلك الملك))
وعند أبي داود بلفظ: ((خلافة النبوة ثلاثون سنة ثم يؤتي الله الملك من يشاء أو ملكه من يشاء))
I hope all historians would correct this mistake from now on. It's a really important detail.
What makes the first five caliphs and not the rest? Also, Hassan never became Caliph.
@@AlMuqaddimahYT Because the ruling system in Islam should never be passed on by blood, within a ruling family, it's should be a vote, a coucil deciding, then a referendum so people choose who they like to rule over them, according to Ayah
" And those who have responded to their lord and established prayer and whose affair is [determined by] consultation among themselves, and from what We have provided them, they spend."
Considering that in old Arabic 'affair' usually meant politics or government matters. (In Arabic : Amr)
The whole sura (chapter) is called Shura. (Consulation)
It's so important that the ruling system in Islam should follow the example of how Muslims chose the first 5 Caliphs. By vote and referendum.
Also as I said, according to famous hadith of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) , he foretold that the caliphate after him would last for 30 years, (the length of the Rashidun Caliphate) and would then be followed by kingship.
Hassan ibn Ali (RA) ruled for 6 months, and his term completes the 30 year caliphate prophecy.
I typed this using my phone, sorry if I missed anything or didn't explain well. Peace !
@@QHawk7 What council elected Ali? What council elected Hassan? What council elected Umar? Abu Bakr was elected by a council that didn't even include Ali. Only Uthman was truly elected by a council.
@@AlMuqaddimahYT Let's not get into details of what *Muslims* did, I was talking about what *Islam* calls a Caliphate. And Ummayad kingdom is not one. Nor Abbasid or Ottoman empire.
Fascinating discussion guys

Give them time.
I can see hypocrisy of TH-cam,
while TH-cam promotes content creator an compared to this channel they stand no chance in quality , they are literally shit..
Do you think it was possible to hold the penisula, if the abbasid completely over throw the ummayds?
No. It was too far away from the heart of the empire. It was in a foreign land and there was too much Christian power there, on mainland Europe for the Muslims to face. The issue was cultural, you know. Muslims would always stay foreigners to the Spanish. Same things happened with the Ottomans in the Balkans.
In the Balkan they faced revolt from the natives
In Iberia they got invaded by foreigners
Not the same thing
@@miracleyang3048 The rate of conversion was really low and the converted hadn't exactly well considered by other musulmans. Example Merchero people.
@@miracleyang3048 What?
@@ghrtfhfgdfnfg
The Muslim States in Iberia weren't brought down by a revolt of their local christian subjects but by foreign invasions of the northern Iberian kingdoms of Leon, Castile, Galicia Navarre and Aragon,
There was even many crusades there where Frank and french knights helped
So spain is justified for financial reparations by the new age logic nowadays?
Wonderful, thank you. But don’t talk so fast.
May I (an infidel) respectfully ask, how do you feel as a Muslim about the imperialism (as described in this video) and enslavement of other people? Historians say that the Islamic slave trade in Africans was 3X - 4X that of the entire Atlantic slave trade. We of the liberal West stopped the global slave trade (thanks Britain!) , regret our participation in it, and came to regard it as savage. I have been reading and viewing clips on TH-cam that say that Muhammad was a slave trader, that there are many explicit endorsements of slavery in the Quran, and that in fact it commands Muslims to conquer and enslave people. Is this true? Have Muslims come to recognize the evil of slavery? And lastly, is it true that in Muslim lands where rule of law breaks down, slavery emerges? Because I’ve read it has emerged again in Libya and other North African lands. In other words, what is the special connection between Islam and slavery historically, and what progress has Islam made in this regard? Do Muslims generally understand now that slavery is a savage practice? And do they condemn savage practices like slavery? I’ve been looking hard but I’m having trouble finding evidence of such condemnation.
A Seeker
First of all, thank you for being respectful. I appreciate it.
Secondly, slavery isn't something that complicated in the modern world. It's illegal in all Muslim countries (at least, I can't think of one that still legally practices it). Most Muslims think that slavery is bad, but they might also try to downplay the horrible conditions slaves were exposed to. Some might say that it wasn't as bad as it's said and stuff. Just as some people in the US South might try to.
Islam allows slavery but no one advocates to bring it back.
Muhammad wasn't a slave trader. He never bought a slave with the intention of selling it and never did end up selling anyone. He actually only ever kept one slave, whom he adopted as his son. There were servants given to him by their parents. He did have concubines. Two, I think.
In the Muslim world, just as in the west, Slavery lost its profitability, thanks to the Industrial Revolution, so, it's pretty much died out. However, it's still present in SOME forms. It's not legal but in regions where law isn't the most powerful force, it still exists. Such as in some regions of Libya, you mentioned. It's common in my country, Pakistan, in the Brick Kiln industry too where a son has to work off his father's debt.
In short, Muslims do think that it's bad and no one wants it back. Although, some try to downplay the atrocities. No one says that it was enjoyable or anything for the slaves but some claim that it wasn't as bad as historians say, which is pure bullshit.
Hello infedel.
i'm morrocan and wish i knew who my ancestor were, berber or arab ? or both, anyway loved the video
Morocco is a great country. I wish someday I got opportunity to visit Morocco. Really love the history of Tariq Ibn Ziyad, Almoravid, Almohad, Marinid, Saadian Kingdom and also Muhammad Ibn 'Abd El-Karim El-Khattabi war against Spain is legend and epic
@@afifi1828thanks, i love my country too
Whe are imazighen
you are right its been 1 years since i'm trying to connect with my berber roots and culture, both parent claim arab(sadly)
You are most likely majoirty Berber (Amazigh), with perhaps a little Iberian or Arab DNA depending on your family history. The reason many Moroccans may have some Iberian DNA is because they may descend from the expelled Muladís (native Iberian Muslims who refused to convert to Catholicism after the Reonquista)

@@amirhaq3828 sadly we are continuing those traditions bro
It was a Berber from the Zenata tribe, who conquered the Iberian peninsula and who found the Emirate of Cordoba on his own in 711, named Tariq ibnu Ziyad.
Not only did they conquered it, but they also controlled it mate... It was the best era on earth, when the berbers governed with 60 hizab. The growth and justice and wealth and science progression of that society was because off the big Berber numbers who kept it governed straight.
Let me guess, you’re Berber?
My reaction was not only the truth but also a guess about you coming from arabs... the first 40 years, the building of Andalusia, you just forgot about it and talk about a large group of syrians??? wtf, totally wrong, they had nothing to say till the end of andalusia
Tariq conquered Al Andalus but never ruled it. Musa ibn Nusayr was installed as the governor but over the next forty years some 20 governors came and went. It was no golden age or "best era on earth". Al Andalus was difficult to control at the time and wasn't stable until Abd al-Rahman arrived.
The arabs were the upper hand in Al-Andalus, we don’t need to lie, the Berbers begin to take the upper hand in Almoravid and Almohad era only
