Third season of the Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the Early Muslim Expansion starts with the aftermath of the battles against the Sassanid and Eastern Roman empires at Yarmouk and al-Qadisiyyah (outu.be/r2cEIDZwG5M) and battles of Ctesiphon, Alexandria, Nikiou, Jerusalem, Sufetula, Heliopolis, and Nahavand ( • Early Muslim Expansion... ). We are going to cover the aftermath of the beginning of the First Fitna (Civil War) in the Rashidun Caliphate and the battle of Siffin of 657, which led to the rise of the Umayyad Caliphate, external expansion continued with the siege of Constantinople in 674-678, but this didn't stop the Second Fitna from happening, leading to the battles of Karbala (680) and Marj Rahit (684). We also previously talked about the conclusion of the Second Fitna and the rise and fall of the Zubayrid Caliphate. In another episode the armies of the Caliphate return to the frontiers, clashing with the crumbling Byzantine Empire in Armenia and North Africa. In the latter, they would not find opposition not just in the Roman remnant, as the rise of a new warrior queen among the Berbers posed a serious challenge to Hassan ibn al-Nu’man’s conquering army in the Maghreb. And even as the Umayyads won victories on the battlefield and expanded ever further, the cohesion and unity of their empire continued to deteriorate on their Eastern frontiers, planting the seeds of their eventual collapse. And we will also discuss how Carthage was razed once again. Next up we covered the first Muslim incursion into India, as we discussed the Sindh campaign that allowed the Arabs to gain a foothold in the subcontinent. Back west, the armies of the Caliphate were taking over the north Africa and advancing towards Visigothic Spain which led to the battle of Guadelete in 711, as we learn how the Muslims conquered Spain. Events were also transpiring in the east, as the new Caliph Sulayman besieging Constantinople in 717-718. In the west, the Arab movement continued into France where they fought in the battle of Toulouse against the duke of Aquitaine Odo. Their expansion continued in the next years, leading to the famous battle of Tours (Poitiers) in 732 against Charlemagne. In the fourth season we will talk about the Abbasid caliphate and the Arab-Khazar Wars.

This channel is the personification of objectivity. The words you use are carefully chosen. No exageration and no down playing. To the point and entertaining, also informative. I honestyly do like to watch your videos.
@@ahmaduomar5517how could she be called the mother of the faithful if she rebelled against Caliph Ali (AS), besieged Basrah and caused bloodshed between Muslims for the first time in Islamic history? May allah forgive her for the sins she has committed. Her actions still hurts the ummah to this very day!
@ahmaduomar5517 that literally makes them objective. You muslims arent the only people on earth. What you call a historical figure isnt what everyone calls them.
@@ahmaduomar5517 yes, "your" mother. Making it subjective. That is the opposite of what objective is.
Okay and that's your choice as a creator to do that, Just like how it was it their choice to do it their way. Neither way is wrong @@ahmaduomar5517
I love the objectivity too
I live for these long documentaries. I'll replay each new one multiple times and it's just as engaging each time
Being a huge fan of older Total War titles and Europa Universalis 4 watching your videos really brings me the same fascination as playing those games. Felling into these battles, feeling the drama occurring within these empires. It‘s like watching and playing the best gameplay ever. And the fact that all of this is actual history really gives me the chills. Great work. I rarely enjoy any other KZhead channel mire than yours. The best combination of war and history. I don‘t earn that much but your channel is the first that makes me consider becoming a patreon. Love your channel, for many years already ❤
Note: For a generation, the Second Fitna stopped Muslim expansion in Central Asia. The lack of centrally appointed governors led to intertribal warfare among the Arab settlers in Khorasan, with local princes refusing to pay tribute and even launching raids into the region by the Hephthalite princes.The Mudari leader Abd Allah ibn Khazim al-Sulami established himself as the de facto ruler of Khorasan until 691, when the victorious Umayyads encouraged his rivals to revolt, ultimately leading to his death. Prior to that, he had massacred about 8,000 of his rivals from the Rabi'a and Bakr ibn Wa'il tribes. The surviving members of Abd Allah's followers
The umayyad caliphate went into constantly of civil wars and rebellion and internal conflicts which why their expansion were limited
Arab tribes were it’s greatest assets and simultaneously it’s greatest bane

Me too!
About the death of zubayr ibn al awwam I like to correct the fact he was assassinated by ( Amr ibn Jarmouz) when he was praying the same way umar was Traitorously murdered , he said he wanted to travel with zubayr and when the time if prayer came he killed him from behind something he proudly admitted himself to ali, which tgen Ali told him " you shouldn't be proud of what you did, I heard from the prophet that the murdere of zubayr will be guaranteed hell, you lost your after life"... Zubayr wasn't trying to flee when he got killed, thats the nonsense chia like to make up to disrespect a great warrior who since day 1 when he accepted Islam at the age of 14 to his death at over 62 years of age has always been known for his courage that was on the border of suicidal.... Zubayr was famous for his skills as a first class warrior and just being one of the best warriors of his time, the guy participated in over a 100 millitary campaigns since the age of 14 and survived through all of them and (jarmouz) was well aware of that he was scared to fight him head on, he knew it was suicide to fight zubayr like that so he opted for the cowardly way of back stabing a 62 year old zubayr while he was prostrating in prayer......
Also worth noting before zubayr abandoned the battle he told his son Abdullah ibn zubayr (the future caliph) to pay all of his debt in his place as if instinctively he knew he didn't have much longer to live
Zubair didn't flee rather he felt guilty he was fighting other Muslims, Zubair was the disciple of the Prophet and true believer, and knew everything and prophet warned him about Fitna
yes exactly Ali(ra) reminded him of a hadith and that led to him abandoning the battle,, hence he was saved and he is amongst the 10 promised paradise by the prophet(saw)@@calm123
Regarding Uthman's burning of the quran: As for Othman’s collection, may God be pleased with him, it is narrated in Al-Bukhari that Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman, may God be pleased with him, came to Medina from the invasion of Armenia, and he entered upon Othman, who was the Commander of the Faithful at that time, before he entered his house, and said: Reach out to this nation before it perishes. He said: What about that? He said... in the Book of God, and he mentioned to him the differences of people in the recitations and their disputes and the appearance of some of them as infidels of others, and other things... So Othman gathered the Muhajireen and the Ansar and consulted with them about that, and they agreed to combine it according to what was authentic and proven in the famous recitations from the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and to leave out what He changed it, and his opinion was sound and successful, so he commissioned a group of companions to collect it, and they gathered it into one Qur’an, and they made copies of it, so Othman sent them to the cities, and they remained with him. Copy in Medina, this is the last plural. Ali bin Abi Talib, may God be pleased with him, said: If I had been the governor at the time of Uthman, I would have done the same thing with the Qur’an Othman did. God knows. Related materials 93
❤
In the end the original and real Koran has been lost, and what we have today is a copy out of thousands burned by Othman and he kept the only version that suits his narrative.

Thank you so much for all the time and effort that went into this series.
This 8h series and others, like the mongols and wars of the diadochi, are among the best documentaries I've ever seen. Great job as always!
As a history nerd that couldn't go to college thank you for continuing my education in the one topic I loved in school
Thanks kings and generals.watching from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Thank you for the content! I'm subscribed on patreon and damn happy about it!
This is the most impressive non subscription history channel i have come across so far the visual is really great and how you guys use sound effect efficiently the information is also really great and accurate pure fact no personal opinions and really fast upload i would support you guys if I have more money keep up all the work!❤(my english is really bad btw probably not a good wording)
Always love these videos. Informative and fun deep dives into history.
😭, just before I start eating my lunch, now I can eat happily. Sunday lunch is boring without Kings and Generals
I Love early islamic history and their formation into an expansive empire, truly remarkable. I also find it fascinating how small tribes once united by a charismatic leader end up conquering most of the world. i.e Muslims, Mongols, Persians,Roman, Greeks etc they were all small tribes until a visionary had bigger dreams. Also find it fascinating that the tribes were made to fight amongst one another by the established empire at the time because they knew their unification would cause trouble.
Thank you very much👍🏽 do you plan on doing a video like the ones on Ibn Fadlan's travel or Gengiz Khan's life?? I really loved the anecdotes
love these long vids abt conflict from a mostly unbiased perspective. I hope these keep coming, so glad I found this channel
Lpp
What goes better with an entire day of cleaning than a 3hr+ long documentary from Kings and Generals? God bless you guys 💙!
Solid work there, guys. Much appreciated.
Love your work! Wish to work alongside your team. ❤
Thank you, kings and generals, i was really bored on a Sunday afternoon. Love you guys xxx
I make min wage, and the perspective of me going back to college is getting thinner and thinner,I need every euro i can get but even then im still tempted to join the membership on your channel. Your videos are always amazing, well edited and detailed. You guys are doing a fantastic job, thx again for all your uploads ! youll always have my like my share and my cheap subscription !
Don't go, learn a trade...
College grad here if your not serious and don’t want to risk debt please learn a trade
@@MalikF15seems like everyone is giving advice to learn trade. Is it really profitable if so. What step should i take first to learn about it. Cause right nkw i have zero knowledge about trade.
@@rafitohornero3850 it’s definitely profitable if your not a school type and don’t plan on making money back. I had a great situation helped keep my costs down but not everyone is lucky. Try to take a few community college classes on welding or electrical work to see if you’re up for it. Then after getting a certificate get an apprenticeship.
@@rafitohornero3850 if you can drive, look into getting a CDL, some companies will pay for your classes if you promise to work for them for x years. Otherwise see if you can find an apprenticeship; plumbing, electrical, carpentry, whatever. Hardest route (but imo best $$) is try to get in entry level IT work like Service Desk or something, and if you can afford it a boot camp, then work your way up to tier 3 Engineering I'm technically a "Tradesman" but I work as an engineer now
Let’s gooo🎉🎉3 1/2 hours of great content full of detail and hard work. Appreciate it Kings and Generals

Keep up the good work, guys. I love yours video's
It is fascinating how the unity under faith might have been a driving factor in early muslim rapid expansion.
Thank you for putting so much work into this one! Absolutely amazing
Your effort in the video is great, but there's a significant adoption of weaker narratives because they are more dramatic, such as Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr's participation in the siege of Uthman, or that Uthman favored his relatives, or that the compilation of the Quran faced huge controversy, even though the more reliable and stronger narratives can be found in the same book, which is the History of Tabari. I hope there will be a broader consideration of different narratives and accuracy in the future.

Thanks!
36:50 most Sunni scholarship agrees that Ali was in the right
As always the extent of research to do those videos is insane, big respect. As I started reasently doing more research on history of the middle east region before the coming of Islam (a part of history I didn't know a lot about) , because of your video on the battle of (dhi qar) which is a battle that not a lot arabes or Muslim know about much less people for outside that culture, becose of your video I stanbled upon a very interesting and insane pre Islamic event that happened just before the birth of the last prophet of Islam and it is (the Basus War) or (the basus civil war) which lasted for 40 years because of a story of honor. That civil war gives you an idea of how dangerous living in the desert was before Islam came and on the mindset the arabes had back then and how leaving in that environment hardened them which no doubt unintentionally prepared in their early lighting quonquest against the persian, Romans and pagan arabs. What Trigger that civil war and the events that followed are both epic and helarious at the same time but also, sad, funny and badass. When I started reading about it I couldn't stop. .
The arabs wars were skirmshes Only those who were clients to the Sassanids or the Romans had kinda of an organized military, also the himyrite kingdom in yeman and their wars with aksumites
@@BESTINTHEWORLD0007 Then riddle me this How did the Arabs of Hejaz region ( not clients of Byzantium nor Sassanids) were able to defeat the Christian Arabs of Iraq and Levant also defeated their lords too Skirmishes were the marks of the Bedouins but the leaders of early Muslim conquests were town dwellers whom were traders before Islam travelled to Levant Egypt Persia etc The mass body of Arab conquests were Arab Bedouins whom were made into a standing army
Your channel epitomizes objectivity, delivering insightful and entertaining content without exaggeration. Kudos for delving into transformative periods like the early Muslim expansion and shaping our understanding of history!
Absolutely my favourite historic channel!
You guys are such a good channel who agrees 👇 You inspire me to learn history Kings and Generals!

Yo this was so good! Thanks for filling in the gaps for me on a lot of stuff. I wish you would have talked about how Othman came into power, as thats a highly debated topic.
It was actually smooth because he won an election in the council of 6 also he was a senior companion of the prophet and son in law. You can check this in the last season
thanks for this grate video mate.
ok ... here is my Rant for this episode I had to stop watching to correct a huge mistake, I wanted to mention this in your previous video about the first Fitnah, but sadly I didn't because I am a lazy dude) it about how you presented the "burning" of the Quran ... although I am not a big expert in the Islamic history but I am knowledgeable enough to be surprised about the claim that the up rising against Othman - God rest his soul - had to do with "Buring" of the Quran, not only I never heard of that, but what Othman did - God rest his soul - was not controversial at all. what he did had nothing to do with the Quran but rather how to WRITE IT. to clear few things: -The Quran is not the book, it is the "Words", the written book is called "Mushaf", not Quran. -The Quran is passed down through passing of the words, mouth to ear (up to this day), not through the written "Mushaf" -There are multiple ways to recite the Quran (there is a full branch of Quranic studies called the Methods of Recitation), all these methods were taught by the Prophet peace be upon him. Some words might have different pronunciation, different dialects were used, different tones of voice/sound, and even different words. -The Arabs at their early years where an illiterate nation, they never relayed on writing, only on memory to pass down anything.... thus very few people knew how to write and on top of that, the written Arabic was very primitive, the majority of letters had no unique shape of their own, for example the Letters ب, ت, ث, ن had one shape to present them all, the letters س , ش and ص, ض were the same case, you can see that the "dots" are the only way to tell them a part ... there was no dots back then, not to mention no punctuation, nor movement markings of letters ( ٌ , ً , ِ ) which are small markers that tells you how the letter are pronounced within the word it self, the same word with same letters can be completely different words depending on how the letters are pronounced, for example : سحر and سحر have the same letters but actually 2 different words, سَحَر is what the "time before dawn" is called, while سِحْر means "magic" ( ya Arabic language hates you). -For native Arabs, these are not issues, they can understand and differentiate between the different recitation methods without any problem, there was no need for written "Mushaf", however that turned out to be a nightmare for new non Arabs Muslims, they are not natives, Arabic is a very VERY vast language, the Quran is the pinnacle of that language, and they are not used to relay on their memories as the Arabs are. So they have to relay on a written version (that does not exist except for the one "Mushaf" that was joined at the time of the first Caliph Abu Bakr - God rest his soul - ) so they had to relay on whatever scraps or scrolls they find with the prophet's companions who came to their lands.... rare scrolls that could contain the personal notes of the companion, some of the prophet's teaching , some verses or chapters that could be written according to how ever the companion chose to write it based on what ever method of recitation he chose (Arabic writing was very primitive back then with virtually no rules for writing it) -So here you have a people who are not native to a language, a language that happens to be one of the most complicated and vast languages, these people are learning the "Words of God" (the Quran) that is the pinnacle of that language, a Quran that has a unique style and method of speaking and pronunciation that is different than the language itself, and this unique way has multiple ways to recite within it. On top of that, this Quran is passed through memory not by writing , and the writing capabilities for that Super language is primitive, no dots, no movement marking for letters, no punctuation and no dictation rules. this is like a 10 years old driving a spaceship that has no manual And that is a recipe for disaster.... and that exactly what was about to happen. -When the Muslims army were facing the Sassanid and requested reinforcement form the armies at the byzantine side, newly convert Muslims from the Byzantine territory met for the newly convert Muslims from the Sassanid territory and discovered that they are reciting the Quran different than each other (depending on who taught them), they almost fought each other, if it wasn't for the prophets companions who were present, interfering and explaining that these different ways are all correct. -That incident alarmed one of the prophet's companion (I forgot who he was ) and he informed the 3rd Caliph, and that when the decision of writing a unified "Mushaf" (not Quran) emerged, the main purpose was to prevent conflict among new non Arabic converts, and have a unified base written version for non Arabs to refer to. and to prevent having multiple written versions (because of the multiple recitation methods) that non Arabs wont be able to tell them a part nor to tell them from a fake one. -That is how the "Othmanic Font/writing method" was born, a special way to write the Quran in a way that could contain as much as possible of the different recitation methods, a special front and dictation rules were used that is different form the one used for the language itself. The Muslims up to this day agreed that the "Mushaf" must not be written in another way (except for educational purposes). -Once that new standardized written version was complete, any other written scraps, scrolls, wooden tablet were burned (duh) and I think 4 copies were made and sent to the corners of the Caliphate with a SKILLED RECIETER accompanying each one, to teach people how to recite (because the "Mushaf" doesn't cover that). and this is why, up to this day, certain methods of recitation are more common in certain parts of the Islamic world than others, for example in west Africa the method of "Warsh" is more widely used than in the Middle East where the method of "Hafs" is more commonly used. -The "Mushaf" served as written reference of the Quran, but it is NOT The Quran, it doesn't matter if you have 12 Ph.D's in Arabic language, you still won't be able to recite the Quran correctly by reading from the "Mushaf", you need to learn it directly from someone who learned directly from some one who learned it directly from some -------> until you reach the prophet peace be upon him. (and that is a certification called the "Sanad", which link you in a continuous chain of reciters to the Prophet - Peace be upon him - ) -The Quran (with its different methods of recitation) is still preserved, but not through the written "Mushaf", and while the Quran is preserved and never changed (with all the different methods) the "Mushaf" keeps changing, across the times, more modifications were added, the addition of dots to letters , the special letters markers and punctuation markers that are unique to the Quran, numbering the verses, dividing it to 30 parts, dividing each part to 2 "Hizb" dividing each "Hizb" into quarters, up to using color coded letters and words to indicate certain pronunciation and sound extensions (that was used for the first time couple of decades ago). not to mention special "Mushaf"s that are written according to a certain recitation method that is used only educational purposes.
In short, Islam is a giant mindfuck
Hooray so season three is gonna be about the legendary Abbasids I’m guessing also I have a couple of questions. I’m trying to comment on one of the Discord channels within the membership section but I’m not able to. It’s directing me to the politics one how do I fix them?

King and generals I am so glad I found you on KZhead. I really enjoy your videos thanks you so much😊
I appreciate your efforts. Unfortunately, at these times, I find myself pretty much destitute. I do thank y'all for keeping what's left of my mind alive .
This comment section has already turned into brainrot. People don't know how to have civil arguments when it comes to the Islamic empire but when it's anything else, everyone is just cool with each other smh.
I think the problem is that the two sides are One pro Islam side blow up things or being very disrespectful again European But at the same time, the more anti Islam sides try to undermine the archivesmens and be very combating I just think both is silly as, at the end, it is history Is very interesting, and "at least I feel like" underrated and a little covered part in the Western world. Better just enjoy and learn a bit more. That is the sense why we are all here in the first place
@@user-eqwl2htry45Il Because nobody speaks about the recent, still ongoing, and scarring atrocities the Europeans have done without being shouted down, but when muslims or literally anyone else that isn't white invades or conquers lands CENTURIES ago, the same europeans cant control themselves and have to start doing weird oriental racism.

Do you regret?
forced as in most likely not wanting to pay taxes to the Arabs, hence why most of north Africa converted.
@@redaf2258 not just because of that .. its also due to arabs glory they thought they were on the right .. berbers were used to being colonized by others since carthage/roman time.

Keep doing your remarkable work
Lisbon was called Olisipo before the Muslim conquest, the name then changed to Al Usbuna
I am leaning towards Shia Islam after studying more and more Islamic History. It seems as though one side was power hungry and the other was upholding Islamic Principles
Okay but why does shia islam nowadays Pray differently then the prophet (sas) and they dance and punch themselves praising Hussain and Hassan. They don't really follow Ali (ra) nor the prophet (sas).
@@mansa-musa653 Despite the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) praying more than 40,000 times in front of multiple Sahaba, Muslims still disagree on how to pray. Shias and Maliki Sunnis both pray with their hands down while the other 3 Sunni Madhabs of Hanbali, Hanafi, and Shaf'i all pray differently, despite all their Imams studying Jafar al-Sadiq (AS.) As for the topic of "Latmiya" Shias do not "dance" and "punch" themselves in praise of Hussein and Hassan (AS.) I advise you to seek knowledge instead of parroting false TikTok narratives that are meant to further divide Muslims. "Allah will exalt in degree those of you who believe, and those who have been granted knowledge." [58:11] Please do not speak on topics you have absoloutely no knowledge of either. And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart - about all those [one] will be questioned. [17:36] May Allah guide both of us.
Politically there was 3 parts not 2, 1 part was those who support Ali unconditionally for his relation the second part was those who their blood was boiling for Othman death specially his clan (banu Umayah) the third part was neutral and asking for stoping the fight like abdullah bin omar، all party have thier respected view but the Shiasm developed over time and unlike the sunnah who are carful in recording Hadith and rating it as authentic or weak, the Shia was following their emotion and believing any one who tell a Hadith from prophet relates without question, so they invented many things in islam like wilaiah and making it a pillar in islam even tho its not mentioned in Quran, they also have in thier books that Quran is corrupted as the verses of Wilaiah was there, they also believe that all prophet Mohammad companions has leaved islam except 3 !!, they also believe that his wives has betrayed him, so they have very dark view and all of that because of politics even tho the companions was human being not angels, and everyone of them was carful for the Muslims future and that why Abu baker accepted to be the caliphate as if they leave it for Ansar then the Arabs will not follow them as they only followed Quraish historically
@@Ali-gd3ud The lies in your comment are crazy. May Allah guide you out of your ignorance.
@@sqadوYou are wrong. The four Sunni schools of thought all agree that there are prayers of dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset, and evening prayers. As for the method of performing them, there are slight differences, such as moving the finger when pronouncing the Shahada or the position of the hand. For your information, if you follow any Sunni school of thought, your prayers are valid according to all Sunni schools of thought. As for the Shiites, there are prayers that they do not pray. You must also curse Abu Bakr, Omar, and Uthman, and you must curse and accuse the Prophet’s wife of betraying him
love your videos man
Great work guys!
May God have mercy on them. They made many mistakes, but we learn from their mistakes
The Ummayad Caliphate is the greatest swords' time empire,the mongols didn't do nothing except killing and plundering,they even converted to the religion of the invaded ,they didn't establish anything.They Ummayads were fighting berbers,civil wars, Byzantines,persians,turks ,indians and franks at the same time
All thanks to Rashidun Abu Bakr and Umar appointed the right men especially in Levant
i hope it won't be too long for the next video of these series
Love these long form videos
subhan-Allah the early Muslims where the foundation of the Islamic world
Yet some so called “Muslims” in our times curse the Early Muslims and call them Disbelievers
Fun fact: 4 of the 5 expansive Caliphate fronts were halted by Turks ; Khazars in Caucasus, Turgesh& Turk Shahis & Gokturks in Central Asia, Bulgars (allied with Romans) in Thrace and Huns in India.
It was a war on all sides, in the east, west, north and south at the same time, and even internally there were revolutions and the Abbasid revolution came. If it had been a single front, for example, against France, it would have defeated France.
This has nothing to do what you said the caliphate their expansion were stopped due they facing constantly of civil wars and rebellion and internal conflicts plus they even had many wars with many other empires in 4 sides. There was no serious clash between shahis and arabs. Central asia and cascuas was under caliphare. Gotturk were directly exiled after battle of oxus river and tugresh only marching into north traxsonina during umayyad conflicts when arabs govnors of central asia fought each other but tugresh were eventually withdraw from region, and for khazar they lost south cascuas and their first capital to arabs and in time of moahmed ibn marawn expedition he deeply taking over northern casucas. for blugars they attacked an retreat arabs army during their withdrawl shortly after siege was lifiting up
make sense. It's too hard to conquer the Steppe. I'd really say it's the nature of the Steppe itself, of which its inhabitants are a part of, that make it difficult to conquer.
Khazars are the perfect example Turkic tribes that menaced the Umayyad’s but got defeated not conquered completely though
They were not halted by them the Caliphate just didn’t thought that conquering tribal regions will be beneficial just like most empires when they faced tribal nomads. Simply there is nothing to gain.
Took me a few days, but video completed and enjoyed!
