- The Muslim world is in disarray. Disunity and division permeate every fibre of its being. Its lands have been usurped by foreign colonisers. The leaders are weak and easily manipulated by alien powers. Muslim lands are more or less bankrupt, carrying massive debt burdens that only seem to grow. Though this description fits the current situation, the year here is not 2020 but 1876. The difference is that in 1876, Sultan Abdul Hamid the Second took the mantle of Muslim leadership and in 2020 he is only a long lost memory.
The descendant of a certain Ertugrul Ghazi, Sultan Abdul Hamid became Caliph in 1876. He is renowned for reviving the zeal of the Muslim world at a time the Caliphate was falling to European encroachment and nationalism. By instilling the love of Islam into the hearts of his people, he was able to unify their ranks and repel any potential division.
Paying off 90% of the Empire's debts, building the Hijaz railway from Istanbul to Madinah and protecting the Holy Lands from European Imperialism were just some of his incredible acts as Caliph but his most momentous moment was yet to come and sadly was probably responsible for his downfall.
When approached by the founder of the Zionist movement, Theodore Herzl, to sell land in Palestine to him, the Sultan famously replied:
"If the Islamic Caliphate is one day destroyed then they will be able to take Palestine without a price. But while I am alive, I would rather push a sword into my body than see the land of Palestine cut and given away from the Islamic Governance."
In 1909, he was deposed and 15 years later, the Ottoman Empire was finished, Palestine has now mostly vanished and his 33-year defence of the Holy Lands was reduced to history.
Join us as we revive the memory of one of the greatest heroes in Islamic History, a man whose life carries many lessons for us in the fractured age of modernity in which we now reside.

I must say, these 3 videos are the most comprehensive and yet compact info on what actually happened during Sultan Abdul Hamid II reign.
Who ever is watching takes it like gold if changes heart of 1 person
It sufficient
it's interesting he mentioned mauritius and the fez, my grandfather i was told, who didn't know much about Islam unfortunately due to colonialism and slavery stripping it away, would always where his fez on eid as a symbol that he was muslim. this was after the fall of the ottomon empire during and post-WW2. SA how the Ottoman caliphate was embedded in the hearts of Muslims
Great lecture
Jzk Kair

Assalamualaikum Dr sahab
Can you give us the list of the reading material Dr Yaqub gave. Thank you for sharing the video
salam alaikum DR YAQUB
I BEING MUSLAM WHAT I LEARN THAT SULTAN ABDULHAMID 2 (MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE)WAS VERY GOOD AS SULTAN AND AS HUMAN IS TRUE IF IT IS , I WISH WE HAVE ANOTHER SULTAN AND CALIPH LIKE HIM.
MY QUESTION IS WHY THE TURKISH SCRIPT CHANGED I MEAN WRITING, IT WAS LIKE ARBIC, PERSIAN AND URDU, HOW THE CHANGE TOOK PLACE SO FAST.
Mustafa Kamal Ataturk has banned ottoman way of scripting the Turkish language. He replaced it with latin like he has done by banning Adhaan in Arabic and told to give Adhan in Turkish.
It was one of the changes brought by Mustafa kemal, besides many many changes changing the turkish "rasm ul khat" was one among those
Salam Alykum, where can I find the list of books? Jazakala Khair
Late reply: Is there any books about Sultan AbdulHamid, you personally recommend?
Nationalism in Indonesia has different context because that caused multiple ethinic group in today Indonesia to united and against thr Dutch , some Hizbut Tahrir member want to bring the nationalism in Ottoman context to our country, that doesn't match because we're havr different history
Because you never knew the history of Malay Archipelago before the colonizers came in. I would recommend a book by Buya Hamka about history. Wish you luck
You should appreciate PM Mohammad Natsir more for uniting you all into one country. The founding father of NKRI was PM Mohammad Natsir btw not President Sukarno
Salaam alaykum
Do you have the list of reading materials as mentioned at 20:10 please?
