- I'm back! With a belated unrelated holiday special that will without a doubt catch me a bunch of flack. But hey, I'm just glad to have it behind me. This is the story of Ali ibn Abi Talib, passed over thrice for the caliphate, thrust into the First Fitna, really a guy who drew a very short straw in life.
Footnotes:
For anyone looking for more information on the subject, I would highly recommend a series of videos by the Caspian Report on the Rashidun Caliphate. As far as I can tell, they lean a little towards the Shia recounting of history, but generally don't point any fingers, except perhaps at the Egyptian delegation, making it out to be a great big conspiracy from the start when it doesn't entirely seem that way to me. Link here if you're interested: • History of Islam, Part...
0:00 You're cringing, I'm cringing, we're all having a good time
1:33 Ummah referring to the general Muslim community
1:50 Ali wasn't exactly happy about being snubbed this way, from what I gather he was pretty upset about it and thought he'd be a much better leader, but decided not to make a fuss for the benefit of keeping the caliphate together.
1:56 For those of you not in the know (and I know I didn't really mention it) Ali not being the first to lead the Ummah/Caliphate is the main point of contention between Shia and Sunni Islam, which makes it especially ironic that Ali himself tried not to cause too much trouble over the issue.
3:03 This is wrong! I don't have a lot of information on how close Uthman was to Muhammad, but he was his son-in-law, just like Ali. Apologies!
3:50 This isn't 100% confirmed, but it's a plausible explanation. If you want a reason not to like Ali, you can suspect him, but it seems unlikely to me.
2:37 This is more theology, basically Umar used the theological concept of jihad to provide a motivation for taking over the Persian heartland as opposed to just unifying Arabia. The jist of it was that the non-Muslim world was against God and bringing God to them was justified, nothing too revolutionary among monotheistic religions, really. Caspian Report's video on Umar has more details.
2:44 So Umar came riding into Jerusalem and the people there assumed he was going to pray at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, but he respectfully declined so that future Muslims wouldn't try to turn the place into a Mosque just because he prayed there once.
4:25 This is where I'd like to deviate from the Caspian Report a little bit. It wasn't necessarily that the whole group that killed Uthman infiltrated both armies to stage a conspiracy and usher in chaos, it was more that some of the people responsible for Uthman's murder wanted to avoid being targetted by having other people fight each other instead of hunting them down, plus some members of the Khawarij (those soldiers who defect a little later) then known as the Qurra, though I couldn't find out what exactly they were doing in general before becoming the Khawarij.
5:25 They also targetted a third guy, Amr ibn Al-As, but I decided to leave him out of the video for the sake of simplicity.
5:58 On second thought maybe I shouldn't be encouraging people in already heated arguments to come over here...
Music (in order of appearance):

0:09 Kevin Macleod - Hidden Past (Intro Music)
0:18 Brandon & Derek Fietcher - Desert Caravans (probably not authentic Arabian music, but then the music in my Pompey video probably wasn't very authentic either)
3:12 Kevin Macleod - Americana

The constant implication that Ali would do something evil only for him not to at every point was hilarious.
OSP Blue I thought it was funny too

+OSP Blue I had to restrain myself from adding that musical sting at a few other places, the guy was just way too reasonable for my own good
And poignant....
Allah SWT made him act this way so that Islam doesn’t split into sects.
*Ali, Secretly plotting to*-
Generally be a nice man who put the security of the Caliphate before his own personal ambition.
But behind this friendly facade...
there was a devout Muslim who tried to do what is best for everyone.
But when the time was right to strike...
Ali calmly allowed a different leader to be chosen as he wanted to be polite and not cause a big deal out of it
Exactly.. I wonder why majority of the Muslim do not understand him.
This is brilliant done! 👏🏽

“A person is either your brother in faith or your equal in humanity.”- Imam Ali
Mehran Shah one of my favourite quoted from the beloved Imam 😊🙏
Humanity? Fabricated saying. There’s no word for humanity in Arabic.
@@ranro7371 are you stupid? The word for humanity in Arabic is “iinsania” and even then it is just a rough translation but there is no way this Hadith is fabricated it’s one of the Imam’s most well known and narrated sayings
@@Saber23 Insaniya is an introduced modern word that did not exist 200 years ago, much less 1400 years ago. The correct translation is equal part in creation
وأشعر قلبك الرحمة للرعية ، والمحبّة لهم ، واللطف بهم ، ولا تكونن عليهم سبعاً ضارياً تغتنم أكلهم ، فإنّهم صنفان : إمّا أخ لك في الدين ، أو نظير لك في الخلق ، يفرط منهم الزلل ، وتعرض لهم العلل ، ويؤتى على أيديهم في العمد والخطإ ، فأعطهم من عفوك وصفحك مثل الذي تحب وترضى أن يعطيك الله من عفوه وصفحه ، فإنّك فوقهم ، ووالي الأمر عليك فوقك ، والله فوق من ولاك ! وقد استكفاك أمرهم ، وابتلاك بهم»
And feel mercy in your heart for your subjects and love for them and kindness for them and do not be upon them like a raging lion eating what you may of their flock for they are two kinds either a brother of you in religion or an equal to you in creation, they misstep and imperfection surface and by their hands righteousness and error is committed, so give them of forgiveness and sanction like that which you wish God to give you of his forgiveness and sanction. For you are above them and the commander of rule is above you and God is above who appointed you and excluded you for their affairs and condemned you by then.

Ali was essentially the Ned Stark of this story. Let power slip through his grasp because he was unwilling to do evil things, and keeping his own soul clean would end up costing so many lives, including his own.

Especially his kids and grandkids
He even ended up like him

Yeah well I'm just going to sit here patiently until your guys recognise me. A truly underrated tactic.
+- Cogito - And it tends to result in fewer assassinations, at least from the people in charge who you've decided to outlive instead of kill
If he had fought he will get a piece but then the religion wouldn’t have survived. It was a highly matured tactics from a man who really care about the religion.
the story of my life xD
I notice youuuu
Why the rush of getting stabbed by ever decisive mob?
Ali sounds like about the most chill dude in the history of anything ever. Like, wow, what a baller.
HE'S GONNA... Keep expanding the Quran. That's it. Oh, you're the leader now? Let me advise you on things.
Reading about the close Family of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w which is according to a Narration the ahl-kisa, which are Ali, his wife Fatima and their 2 first children Hassan and Hussein (as) made me feel not only sad, but also let me question my doctrine (was sunni)
When Ali (as) was struck by ibn muljam (la), his two sons hassan and hussein (as) wanted to avenge his father, instead his father told them to inflict the same wound on him when he dies.
Also Ali (as) was often the first to stay on the battlefield, and always the one which killed them most enemys, this just shows how strong and fierce he was, even tho he was a calm, well learned and warm hearted person.
Also his personality can be seen in his sons which were confronting the wrong and falsehood even tho it brang them death.
For example Hussein (as) died with 71 companions against ~3000 enemys, and he couldve lived if he just pledged loyality to the caliph yazid (la), but that was not the personality of the son of ali (as)...
When you think about it, at least 3/4 of the proclaimed family of the prophet (saw) got killed by people that called themselves "muslim", according to Ja'fari shia it were all. This is truly sad.

"And once he was close enough to the Caliph . . . _he continued doing his job without duplicity."_
That shouldn't be as funny as it was.
I feel the need to point out that all of these original 4 rulers were very, very close friends. They were all early converts to Islam, were all very close friends to the Prophet, and had all fought in battle together literally prepared to die for Islam. All 4 were also among those promised Paradise by the Prophet.
And all these guys had had the very best interest of Islam at heart. You can tell because Ali ibn Abi Talib literally kept transcribing the Quran like a good Muslim. There are also multiple corroborating stories regarding how the later 3 were assassinated. Omar was attacked during prayer and when the rest of the Muslims broke prayer to help him he told them to finish the prayer first and then help him even though he was mortally wounded. Uthman was reading the Quran when he was attached and he protected the Quran with 1 hand. The assailant cut of this hand and then Uthamn protected the Quran with his other hand. The assailant cut off this hand and then Uthman protected the Quran with bot his forearms. Then the assailant kill him. Ali was stabbed while leading prayer with a poisonous dagger. Everyone else was ready to kill the guy but Ali, while he was dying, said do the exact same thing to him that he did to me with the exact same dagger and then let him go.
Literally all these leaders put the religion above their own personal power gain and profit. They put the Muslim community over themselves and many died for the sake of it. It was not about power to them, it was about protecting Islam. There was no ill feeling towards each other if another got power. They all knew each on had the best interests of the religion at heart and they were loyal because of if. Even Muawiah only rebeled because he though he could do a better job of leading compared to Ali. In Muawiah's mind, it was necessary for him to lead the because it would be better for the Muslims. Even though they were at war, Muawiah still corresponded with Ali regarding Islamic laws and interpretation. They still respected each other.
Also, there was never really a requirement for the Muslim rule to be decided by ancestry. Relation to the Prophet was not really a requirement for leading. The Prophet absolutely said that we should look to both this tradition (sunnah) and his family for guidance but there are various interpretations regarding that last point. Some think that means only someone from the Prophet's family should lead. Other say that just means his decedents are should just be looked upon as religious scholars. There was no guarantee that the Prophet's sons would become the leaders even if they lived to adulthood.
Based on your video, I'm going to assume that you incorporated many Shia sources which I believe was done in an effort to say neutral. I get that but I would recommend clearly identifying which narrative is Sunni and which is Shia so the average non-Muslim viewer is not confused. Those 2 narratives often have extremely different recordings and interpretations of what happened and should not be confused with each other, especially to someone who is hearing all of this for the first time. We wouldn't want them to mix up the narratives and come away with a perspective that neither Sunnis nor Shias believe. ;-)
Greetings, master Kenobi! Yes, I watched the Caspian Report's videos on the Rashidun Caliphate as an introduction to the subject, which as I recall were slanted slightly to the Shia point of view, and of course I have a tendency to present the subject of my videos as a protagonist, but I did my best to clarify details like the debate over the meaning of Mawla. Giving your comment a heart because it's got some good elaboration I wasn't able to provide in the video, especially re: the Rashidun Caliphs' relationships to each other. Cheers!
@@JackRackam Well thanks for the speedy reply and heart! I really do appreciate the response. I actually just discovered you from Overly Sarcastic's new video. In my opinion, I think your video would have greatly benefited from covering Ali's life not just after the Prophet's death but his entire early life during the rise of Islam. It would have given a bit more historical context and explored his relationship with the Prophet and other figures. This way you can provide more necessary historical information while still having a protagonist narrative structure. All the same, good luck in your future videos and projects :-)
Obi-Wan Kenobi me too. It’s great to meet another Star Wars fan and historian.
@@jafaral-badri8005 That's pretty much my point. None of them were power hungry and they were all just.
@@jafaral-badri8005 It's not a question of who was most power hunger because what I'm saying is that none of them were power hungry. And I can find many, many examples for each of them. Omar, for example, refused to have any of his relatives be under consideration to be his successor because he didn't want the Caliphate to become a monarchy.
As for expanding the Caliphate, it's haram to impose your religion on others, not to expand your boarders. You are allowed to expand your rule as long as you are not unjustly invading, killing, or forcing people to convert which the 4 rightly guided Chaliphahs never did.
A big factor in Islamic expansion that lots of people ignore is that Islam was fist spread by the mouth as Muslim merchants travels to other lands. People learned about the Islam through trade and then converted of their own free will. Then the Muslim Army would come to assimilate them into the Caliphate because they were part of their religion. So the other Caliphahs didn't do anything wrong in that respect.
And to accuse Uthman of nepotism is blatantly untrue and nowhere near the cause of the fitna. The fitna was caused because some of the governors lack confidence in Ali's ability to rule. It was never about nepotism, it was about different people have different opinions about how to best lead the the Muslims.
Saying the nepotism was the cause of the fitna is like saying George W Bush vs Al Gore was because of nepotism. Both had nothing to do with family but rather a difference of opinion on how to best lead their nations.
Also, I'm 99.9% sure that entire story about Muawiyah making his soliders put the Quran on their spears is made up. Muawiyah is still respected by Muslims today because he was a companion to the Prophet. No Muslim would ever respect a man who sinned by used the word of God to achieve achieve victory in war based on a technicality and becase he knew the other side was too religious to attack!
And even if he did say give such an absurd order of putting the word of God on a spear (which he didn't) the Muslim soldiers in his army would have never obeyed such an order and would have accordingly switched sides and flocked to Ali's camp.
That's the best history lesson I've ever experienced, Ali (handsome was he) seemed like a top bloke
Scotus Laurentius there is a lot of misinformation and pandering to one sect. Imam Ali was never a friend of the three caliphs. Those guys were active oppressors against him and the prophets family. Read up on his son Imam Hussein

Y'know, my teacher said Ali is a really patient and gentle man.
He fed the orphans was the most feared warrior in Arabia wore torn clothes to show his simplicity slept in the prophets bed when they were going to assassinate Muhammad and was very patient ,surely such a man deserves to become khalifa
He was the only man in all of history to have been born in the Ka’aba(even the Prophet(SAW) wasn’t born in the Ka’aba) after many witnessed the Ka’aba’s walls opening up(there is a crack in the Yemeni corner of the Ka’aba which governments have tried for over a millennium to fix but it always shows no matter what happens) and Ali(as)‘s mother going in there and after three days coming out of there with a baby. He was the first male Muslim and second Muslim after Sayyida Khadija(as) the wife of the Prophet(SAW), he fought in every single battle side by side with the Prophet(SAW) except for tabuk which the Prophet(SAW) ordered him to govern over Medina and protect his family. He was the owner of Dhul-Fiqar which was given to him by Prophet Muhammad(SAW) which was given to him by the Archangel Gabriel and he(SAW) said Gabriel was shouting “There is no knight like Ali, and no sword like Dhul-Fiqar” during the Battle of Uhud after his sword broke. He married the only daughter of the Prophet(SAW), Sayyida Fatimah(as), who is one of the four ladies of heaven and the lady of the universe(the greatest lady) and he had two sons from her, Imam Hassan(as) and Imam Hussain(as), both would later be martyred, Imam Hassan(as) by poison and Imam Hussain(as) beheaded in the Battle of Karbala when he was the last man alive from his 75 men, they were both the masters of the youth of heaven and Imam Hussain(as) is the master of martyrs. Imam Ali(as) died a martyr(the greatest way of death according to Islam) while prostrating during prayers(the best position during prayer) and in Ramadhan(the greatest month in Islam and most rewarding) and on the “night of power”(which was the night when the Qur’an was sent down to the Prophet Muhammad(SAW), and in the Qur’an this night is “worth a thousand month” so the reward of reading the Qur’an, for example, on this night is more than reading the Qur’an everyday for a thousand months same applies to feeding the needy and the orphans and helping the elderly etc.). You really don’t know how great Imam Ali(as) till you read the details of his life and how much he was valued by God and his messenger(SAW).

The whole world needs to be like Ali honestly!!! What an amazing man 💚
He doesn't have all heroic deeds in his past, he was one of the most aggressive warriors of Mohammad in early days. There are reports of him being ''tired'' from beheading all the men of fallen tribes.
Go try being a pagan in Arabia doing your own thing without harming anyone, and see what sort of a man Ali was then.
M Bayrak those reports were written by haters of Ali(as).
Ali(as) was always a righteous & truthful person. The sign was from his birth being the only man in history being born in the holy Kaaba, til his death getting struck during prayer.
You can’t argue with Ali’s(as) merits. Books were written by Muslim & non Muslim historians praising Ali(as).
To you or anyone who believe Ali(as) was wrong simply doesn’t make sense. Imam Ali(as) was raised by none other than Prophet Muhammad(saww). If you say Ali(as) was wrong or unjust that’s questioning Muhammad’s(saww) authority.

@Islamist Reactionary إرتجاج الإسلامي He actually survived the attack but the blade he was struck with was poisoned unfortunatly his killers werent taking any risks with this assassination
they knew very few could put down ali (r.a) in a fight even from behind
also weirdly his rival Muawiyah in egypt also had a assassination attempt he survived his wounds and poison but it damaged his reproductive system so he couldnt make any children
Pretty much, was a reletntless and seasoned warrior in his youth but wanted to keep peace and prevent death of his own people. Died for being a naive idiot who trusts himself too much. And similarly, his sons and grandsons suffered horribly because of his mistake.
Unlike poor Ned, Ali (in general) didn't have shitty excuse of a King to serve. So being nice and patient actually worked in his favour (and everyone else).
Wow, Ali was very patience and understanding guy.
cptkilgore yup the most patient and compassionate after the Prophet (S)
I mean he had all his rule and fortune, which he was promised by the Prophet Muhammad(SAW), get stolen right in front of him and only a few people actually stood up for him and most would be killed or imprisoned and accused of apostasy for challenging the rules of the caliphs which wasn’t divinely appointed. Islam and Muslims would’ve easily been in a much better and different state than which it is in now had Abu Bakr not become caliph and Umar not being the next caliph and Uthman not putting his family(Ummayads, who were the Prophet(SAW)‘a number 1 enemy) to be his governors and given them government and military positions instead Imam Ali(as) and his sons assuming the rule over the Muslim lands from the start.
Then I began to think whether I should assault or endure calmly the blinding darkness of tribulations wherein the grown up are made feeble and the young grow old and the true believer acts under strain till he meets Allah (on his death). I found that endurance thereon was wiser. So I adopted patience although there was pricking in the eye and suffocation (of mortification) in the throat.

@احمد
As someone whose city has both Shias and Sunnis. I can say no you are wrong.. they don't worship Ali (R.A).
hahahahhaha nice shia joke. funny
"If he is not your brother in religion, then he is your counterpart of creation" Imam Ali
“… and all jahannam breaks loose.”
Underrated line tbh.
Watching this video in Muharram (the month in which Ali's entire family was butchered at Karbala) makes me feel good about being a pro-Alid Muslim. Good job, fellow!
I love all the times you hint that Ali plotted something only to reveal something else was up
This taught me more about the history of the middle east than high school did
@Heiliger Katholik in Lebanon we do
brace yourself you will see a lot of friendly argument between suni and syiah down below, i hope ur enjoying yourself
just peaceful friendly little discussions
I agree
@The Bell Ringer me too, i am sunni
Actually this comment section is pretty civil. Even Jack himself said he was surprised
As a muslim, i love you're video and am really happy that you're talking about islam since it's history kinda gets forgotten sometimes. I should just learn to not read the comments because there's always hate.
Yeah... some of the top level comments are all right, but don't go digging too deep. Anyway, thanks for the compliment, I'm glad you liked the video!

@@m8lu357 wtf I am a Muslim I saw the video and he didn't disrespect anyone actually he is like the only western you tuber I have seen who talks about Muslims in a truthful manner and doesn't represent them as violent or savages or something like that or promote hate speech please next time don't attack the people who didn't do wrong because you are representing a bad image of Muslims and Islam and if you think your type of behaviour would make any immam proud of you then you are mistaken
I learned about all of these back when I attended Muslim Private School back in Indonesia, but it is interesting to see this from the historical perspective!
Growing up, I knew Ali to be a peaceful man who married Fatimah (the daughter of the Prophet PBUH) and they led a poor yet modest life. Also about the time he was thinking about buying a carpet while praying. (to which the Prophet PBUH confronted him about it)

Wow, you cover this story really good. I was crying when I learn this at school but "all jahannam break loose" really gets me 😅

I like how you gave Ali RA the Zulfiqar sword. You seem to be a man of culture.
Ali bin Abi Talib (AS)
Ali R.A
I feel for Ali and his sons. They should have been the successors but sadly the bad guys keep on winning
Who are sad in this life win when he will be near from god
It was not mentioned in the video how they broke Ali’s wife’s rib, burned his house, and killed his infant son, and after Ali’s death, what happened to his children? They killed them in the most horrific ways and exterminated their families with a revelation 💔😢
You could not believe the tragedy of Hussein Ibn Ali because it was very, very bloody. They slaughtered him, his children, his brothers, and his friends, cut off their heads, trampled them with horses, and cut off their bodies. It was called the Karbala massacre 💔😭
When Imam Ali saw the disobedience of his people to him, he said: I know that your reform is only by the sword, but I do not buy your reform with the corruption of myself.
If anyone wants to learn more about this dude Ali, watch any movie and he will be the hero manifested to save the day 👍🏻 different characters but based on one very brave and kind hearted man ! Long live Ali , champion of hearts not just battles 🙏🏻
(Referring to Ali being addressed at the Mawlah after Muhammad at Ghadir Khumm) Sunnis believe Muhammad stopped thousands of pilgrims near Mecca to tell them that Ali is his friend
أحسنت أخي أخوك من العراق 🇮🇶 كلامك صحيح قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم من كنت مولاه فهذا علي مولاه اللهم عادي من عاده صدق رسول الله
That was fun. Do not retire. I need more
Quick note from an Arabic speaker: Mawla is usually used as a title as in " his highness " My English and Arabic are both very bad and are in need of improvement, but hey I'm trying my best.
Though, it can also mean slave owner, but since Islam came slavery declined in Arabian countries, not saying it doesn't exist however, whenever someone says mawla, slave owner isn't the first thing that comes to mind
Never knew that - thanks for sharing!
@@JackRackam No problem!
It colloquially means master
mawlay may also means owner in this context
It's not just that your videos are really enjoyable to watch, the fact that you still replied to comments on your two years old video is legit respectable. Love your narrations on UsefulCharts too
Poor Ali
*Just, poor Ali*
Not really because when he got stabbed in his back while he was prayingin the dawn, he said “I won i swear to the God of Kaa’ba”
@@stewiegriffy2928 true he won and everyone who went against him lost
@Islamist Reactionary إرتجاج الإسلامي I think you have a huge misunderstanding no body views him as a demi prophet or a God. People simply love and appreciate him for being a genuine and good person who fought for the prophet and islam, he is an Imam over all not any normal person.
Poor Ali
Just poor Ali
ibn Abi Talib!
Woes of ten regular men definitely!
Poor Muslims for not getting enough of Ali

Coffee Succubus Ali didn’t hate anyone but Aisha and Mawwia hated him
@@stewiegriffy2928 Aisha and Mawawia didn't hate Ali. They both respected him as a devoted Muslim, they just disagreed with political decisions he made. Ali was like the second person who converted to Islam and was granted heaven by the Prophet (1 of 10 people with such an honor. To hate Ali would be a grave error and both Aisha and Mawawia would never have done such a things as both were considered companions of the Prophet.
Aisha poisoned prophet Muhammed a.s

"From the trouble of the life that one collects what he does not eat, builds what he does not live in, then goes out to God with no money to carry or build to transport" Imam Ali
I'm a Shia Muslim and I respect Sunnis and also Christians and Jews and others believing in god.
The first time I was talking to a Sunni friend he asked me, do you believe Ali is Allah? And I said no! How can we worship a person? And we were talking like friends after explaining the differences and until today we have been best friends.
I love it how you painted Ali and his sons that being permitted in Shia Islam whose representatives they are. 😊
What i like in Shia is they are not terrorist u can found Sunni terrorist guy but u can't found a shia guy bomb his self , and by the way cutting heads was rare in arabs lands like every place in planet even before islam , but after killing hussein grandson of prophet they cut his head and till that time old ISIS muslims do that like this past years in iraq and syria etc.... You can watch Lady of Heaven u will understand more

Great video! It's a tough topic to blitz through. You should however talked in a bit more detail about the negotiation process between Ali and Muawieh, some really devious tactics were employed by Muawieh and the subsequent events regarding the Khawarej (the group that ended up assassinating Ali) was the result of this process.
Seriously my favourite video of yours. The amount of times you trick us into thinking *now* Ali will strike and then doesn't 🤣
4:53 I don't think your supposed to do that
Yeah.. it was a tactic to confuse the situation.
Those people were cowardly idiots. Most of the army fell for this tactic even though Ali told them not to fall for it amd fight anway
"All Jahanam broke loose" I''m dead XD
this video makes me think that the shias are right and ali should've been muhammad's successor
Shartin Mart Yet the most majority of the Muslims do not understands.
But they literally put Ali like Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and sometime like Allah Itself (Which is blasphemy is some of argument). This is why we're diftring apart.
Firman N in which attribute of Ali did he resembled to Allah?
Give me an example
As for the prophet.. prophet himself said that “Ali to me is like what Aaron was to Moses except that there is no prophet after me”.. what does that mean? Was prophet joking ??
A prophet receives wahiyy- (وحي) but Ali will not receive it as for the rest of the things he is like Aron to Moses with all the attributes and cleanliness
Firman N only when you attribute lowest things to Allah and Muhammad you feel insecure with the attributes of someone like Imam Ali

I never knew I could get suspense blue balls. Great job
Very well made video and it would be great if you went over the other dynasties as well as what happened at Karbala. Islamic history is very interesting and your format while simplistic is easy to absorb.
Can you please do a part 2 explaining about the conflict that you "didn't have time for". Please.
He'll need more than an extra part for that 👀
It’s very very dark
And involves people that are very much the Anti-Ali.
It's actually a lot of conflicts taking their roots in this situation. But a video on the rise and fall of the Fatimids, for example, would be interesting.
TheFiresloth, I am a muslim who follows the teachings and honor the Fatimiads legacy and believe me when I tell you that 50% of our history was written by the very enemies who fought us and took over the chalefit ,the Abbassies Wanted to brutally destroy our history with lies and misconceptions about the Imams who ruled the Califit as will as the advanced knowledge and technology produced by that great era and murdering scholars and burning the greatest library in history of islam to put salt on the wound not to mention the inhuman slaughter of the people sympathizing with us. But I assure you, the bloodline of Prophet Mohammad and Imam Ali (AS) lives on through generation of hardships and injustice of this world and one day he will appear as the savior the whole religions in the world are anticipating. For the end times prophecies that most religions are talking about. He will known as the Imam Almahdi sunnies and shias agree that this mahdi will a direct descendant of Ali bin Abi Talib.
Basically, Ali was a decent man born in an indecent time.
Also the beginning, is that a jab at the fact that some stories say Ali was supernaturally strong?
Yes I'll give you historic references
Ali killed a experienced fighter who used to encounter a hundred men army in past his name was amr ibn abd wad who just got killed by single blow by 28 year old Ali
Happened in war of Khandaq popularly known as battle of trench
Ali killed a man effortlessly who was leader of most influential all arabic Jewish community at khaibar fortress who entire army of prophet Muhammad failed to kill
He was even stronger than salma ibn aqwa or Umar ibn khattab because all of them failed at the war of khaiber still Ali in a state of a disease kinda similar to eye flue Killed marhab the Jewish leader and warrior effortlessly and broke entire fort door raging into it
Ali used to fight alone in most situations
He didnt want to shed blood especially that people conspired against him
the wrold won't forget Imam Ali
That channel deserves much more subscribers. Your videos are really great!
Love your explanation to what happened after the death of the prophet, brief but rich in details.
The thing I wanna make clear Ali was around to ensure that the caliphs don't mess up, he didn't want to be "the caliph" as political leader, when Uthman died, the companions went to Ali and begged him to be the caliph, he told them "this position is like sneezing of a goat to me, but if you want me to govern your affairs, I'll do so"

Which country are you from? I am from Indonesia we learn this in high school
@@sutiniselametsikun3510 same in Malaysia we learn that althrough the Prophets Sucessors led Islam to victory, they werent really perfect people and we should never ever compare them to the Prophet or especially Allah
sunni muslims say that all these People were friends and God was pleased with them all, but this Muslims stand with ali and do not accept the three caliphs as the God chosen leaders for the Muslims. the UN says the most righteous leader in mankind history was Ali ibn Abu Talib
In Turkey we learned most of it but as I remember they didn't tell us Osman got killed.
Imam Ali (peace be upon him) says: Nations have become afraid of the oppression of their shepherds, and I fear the oppression of my people.
Don't forget how Ali was the main guy when it came to fighting during early islam he defeated many great opponents without a scratch. He is known as the most powerful and greatest fighter that ever lived. He lifted a castle gate weighing over 900kg which is inhumane to be frank Ali was too great to be compared to other sahabas he has his own category and its the ahl e bayt. the five entities who were under the cloak when the verse of tatheer was revealed. The panjtan. Metaphorically it is said we have five finger because they represent the five great entities. and those hands enable us to do everything we do
Huh. No flame wars. This is... a surprise, but a welcome one to be sure. Either way, great video Jack. The only gripe for me is that its a bit too short, but other than that, love it.

A quote from ali:
After a proper evaluation, I found patience and tolerance wiser. So I waited, as if there was a thorn in my eye and a bone in my throat. And I saw with my own eyes that my inheritance was being looted!
Ah Yes Ali the man who's painting was often misunderstood as the painting of Mohammed himself
Not only him also the sons of Ali also the same story
As someone who majored in Middle East Studies, I loved this video.
New suggestion, just hear me out... video on the Mexican Revolution. So much side-switching and scheming. The type of clustercluck that’s perfect for this kind of video
Side-switching you say? Interesting...
In fact, Ali, peace be upon him, the caliphate was taken from him by force, and his wife was killed by Umar... And he could not do anything because of the will of the Messenger of God, may God's prayers and peace be upon him and his family.... With regard to the will, the Messenger of God, may God's prayers and peace be upon him and his family, said For Imam Ali, peace be upon him, that his wife Fatima will be killed and the caliphate will be taken from him, and Abu Bakr will also take the land (Fadak), which is what the Messenger of God, may God's prayers and peace be upon him and his family, bequeathed to his daughter Fatima after his martyrdom.
the fact that you talk ill about the most 2 beloved companions of rasullalah saaws is exactly why we dont see yall shias as muslims ! how can you dare live with yourselves you self hating people hating and spreading lies of the single two greatest sahabs , don't you ever read siras or ahadiths sahih? what the F !
