Before the decisive battle that won him his kingdom, some of the Yemenis who fought for Al-Rahman were on the verge of mutiny from lack of provisions as well as the fact that he was mounted on a fine Spanish steed, which made many Yemenis unhappy as it was perceived that he could easily run off to safety and abandon them if the battle went didn't go their way. Noticing the simmering discontent from his Yemenis allies, the exiled Umayyad prince took immediate action by going up to one of the Yemenis chiefs and offered to trade his magnificent mount for the mule the chief was riding on, on the pretext that he found the horse difficult to control. A deal which surprised the man who readily accepted. This quelled any feeling of discontent among his troops and improved morale for the battle ahead.

Quick note on your use of the name: at 4:30 you call him "al-Rahman" as if it were his last name. In this instance this is not the case. The whole "Abd al-Rahman" is his first name. "Abd" means Serveant, while "al-Rahman" can be translated to "the most merciful" one of Allah´s 99 names. Therefore muslims at that time and nowadays would never refer to him as "al-Rahman" because this would be refering to him as God. Besides that small remark your videos are remarkable as always. Thanks for the great work.

@hamsaa6283

Жыл бұрын

@asahi toki Nah man. I think this mistake can happen to anybody who has no knowledge in the Arabic language. Understanding the concept behind the use of one of Allah's (swt) 99 names is not so easy. Sometimes some of his names are even used without the "abd" (slave) before it, as it is the case with Malik (can be used as an honorific title for rulers). Sometimes names of God are also used as first names without the "abd al" e.g "karim". I would always refrain from using one of his names without the "abd" before it, as these names are reserved for Allah but I think one has to acknowledge that there is some obfuscation around it. They also make videos about topics originating in so many different cultures and languages. They do not focus on one Era in particular. If you were to ask me to talk about a person from a cultural and linguistic background different to mine I could also easily mess up names. Errare humanum est. Therefore, I do not think that their reputation should be tarnished by mistakes on this level. Contrarily, I applaud them for being one of few western channels to dive deep into Islamic history. Keep up the good work.

Umayyads did not actually do that. It was prophet Muhammad who laid the foundation then his companions destroyed the Persian empire and defeated the Eastern Romans taking the middle East and Egypt. The first Umayyad Caliph was also a companion of the prophet. They did not create an empire but simply inherited it. What happened was the first Umayyad Caliph made his son the Caliph which changed the Caliphate to dynastic lineage unlike how the previous Caliphs who did not favor their family, Umayyads did not create the empire themselves but they did expand.

It’s Almanzor or Almnsor Ibn Abi Amir, that i personally consider a genius, and i see in him a lot of resemblance with jiulius Caesar in many things. I Hope kings and generals would make an episode on him.

As a Moroccan this makes me extremely proud of my ancestors. I have family from the area where Abulrahman’s mother was from. Maghrebi history is so rich and underrated, it’s great to see it being highlighted. I wish they would make a series on Netflix about this particular historic figure.

@@jihadi-against-oppression With all due respect, brother, but you are entirely incorrect; I don't think you read his biography; the Reconquista began in 722 AD, and Almanzor was born in 938 AD. On the contrary, he was able to unify and maintain the caliphate, as well as expand it in the north after it had lost many territories, and the Umayyad caliphate in Andalusia reached its peak under his reign. I mean that’s why he got the nickname Almanzor in the first place which means the Victorious. The downfall began after his death, when Muslims were embroiled in civil conflicts because of “nationalism” and indulged in pleasures, which is tragically similar to how Muslims live today.

This deserves a part 2 detailing his time ruling Al-Andalus

Excellent. Learned some things from a different point of view; I'm related to Yusuf. He made an offer to Abd al-Rahman in which he was named Yusuf's heir but Abd al-Rahman refused. The al-Fihri had extended every courtesy to the refugees and even married into the family. When the Abbasids started putting pressure on the Fihrids, they suggested the refugee Umayyad prince leave to avoid incurring the wrath of the Abbasids. Earlier, in 737, Yusuf repelled the forces of Charles Martel at Narbonne. About a decade later a relative who ruled as wali of al-Andalus at the bequest of Abd al-Rahman ibn Habib named ibn Qatan was murdered. Abd al-Rahman ibn Habib, the one who provided shelter to the Umayyad refugees, appointed his son Yusuf to the post of wali of al-Andalus in 747.

great video as usual! one comment I have though is that you seem to think Abd al-Rahman is two names when you say al-Rahman as if it's his last name however "Abd al-Rahman" is all the first name... Abd al-Rahman means "servant of The Merciful (a name of Allah)" so when you call someone al-Rahman you're calling them with a name reserved to God only

Comment for support. Quality across the board!

Hello, Kings and Generals, here I am, I'm one of the living descendants of Abd al-Rahman I, in fact I'm related to his children, you get what I mean. I just recently found out that I'm related to him, I am proud, thank you, Kings and Generals, for feeling the need to post this video about one of my ancestors, may god bless you.

Just a note for the future. Abdul Rahman is one name, not two. Abdul = Slave/Servant of Rahman = The Most Merciful/Compassionate So the name means servant of the Most Merciful, aka servant of God (Allah) In Islamic culture it is unheard of to call someone Rahman (because that is a name exclusively for God)
