@@castle4757 Three reason. Firstly, as mentioned in the video, they were from different branch of family although all of them Ummayad. The first one came from Muawiyyah ibn Abu Sufyan and then his son Yazid and then his grandson Muawiyyah II. The second from Marwan ibn Al-Hakam. Muawiyyah, Marwan, and Uthman are cousins with each of them from different Ummayah branches. Secondly, between first Ummayad (Sufyanid) and second Ummayad (Marwanid), there was a gap where Abu Bakr grandson, Abdullah ibn Zubayr ibn Al-Awwam, son of Asma, had defeated the first Ummayad dinasty and ruled significant area. It was until Abdul Malik ibn Marwan, the Ummayad family, now lead by different branched, had reconquered Arab. Thirdly, both dynasties had different characteristic. The first Ummayad was simply ruled as tribal chief. The second Ummayad dynasty had more structure and bureaucracy. Abdul Malik ibn Marwan himself had legacy from standardized Arabic including made it compulsory language for all officials; designed and released his own currency, the first dinar; creating Qubbat as-Sakhrah (Dome of Rock). Compared to his predecessor, Abdul Malik ibn Marwan was knowledgeable in Islamic law by being born and raised in Madina. His policy was mentioned in Imam Malik ibn Anas' Muwatta.

I would set the Abbasids as the first. They sponsored the Islamic Golden Age, which was of ginormous importance for all the Western World. Basically we wouldn't have modern science without them. Under their rule lived al-Khwarizm, perhaps the greatest islamic scientist of all times. They defeated the chinese at the Battle of Talas in 751 and brought the use of paper to all the West (whose importance is very difficult to exaggerate). They founded Baghdad, a city that came to host at its peak the astonishing number of 1.2 million people (more than Rome in its glory), with a library and a study center maybe greater than its alexandrian precursor in the Hellenistic Age. It is true the Ottomans had a longlasting reign, but their empire was a truly international fearsome power for nearly 250 years (from c. 1400 to 1650). It is still longer than the effective Abbasid rule (750 - 860), but how many ottoman traits became so trascendent for the World in general, compared to the Abbasids? Anyway, it is an interesting excercise to encourage discussion.

The idea that without Islamic science there won’t be western science is kind of historical fantasy with mental gymnastics. We will never know. This is also true for Islamic science itself. Abbasids thirst for knowledge made them to translate almost all of the available Greek texts. So without prior Greek knowledge can they be Islamic science? Besides one of the premier accomplishments of Islamic science is the invention of algebra. But algebra is itself possible because of the invention of Indian/Hindu numerals which the abbasids incorporated. All science is like that. Everyone learns from each other and adds their own. There is no point in thinking without this there won’t be that. What matters is that people keep learning and progressing, or risk stagnation, which clearly happened in the Islamic world from late medieval ages.

One is a comedian

Well, to say that previous empires only conquered and taxed is kind of a wrong statement to make. Umar Ibn Khattab is the main point in all of this. He introduced several reforms, some of which were used by several people across the centuries, even by Akbar of all people. Some of which were establishing a secret spy network to keep an eye on all of his governors and constantly moving them around to ensure they don't build much power. He also appointed officials based on merits and those merits would constantly be checked routinely to see if they were living up to it. He also held considerable power since he was able to dismiss a person like Khalid Ibn Al-Walid by simply giving the order and facing little to no resistance. He also told his soldiers that none of them could buy territory in conquered lands, to ensure no imbalance of power (which happened during Umar's reign). These are by no means small feat, as he was able to keep almost all the citizens of the Caliphate satisfied through his smart administration. There were also social reforms, like introducing a welfare system which would carry itself to the modern day. He started using the money in the Bayt Al-Mal, taken from the Zakat, and distributing it among the poor, orphans, widows, disabled among others. He also established several Religious reforms as well. The same was the case of Mu'awiya, who led several reforms and unique ideas. You can't simply ignore their contributions and deem the empires as "not doing much."

I agreed that Umar's ijtihad was considered amazing but his successor, Uthman, only able to maintained that reform for the first 5-6 years. Later on, he succumbed into tribal practice which led Egypt people revolted. Uthman's successor, Ali, did not get approval from both Egypt and Syria. Basically, whatever reform Umar has done, most of them were crumbled in his successor's era. Umar was ahead of his time. It was Abdul Malik ibn Marwan, the forgotten founder of the second Ummayad dynasty who really established continuous policy system. He was the first caliph who made Arabic language and Arabic script compulsory. One of his ijtihad even mentioned by Malik ibn Anas in latter's Muwatta. Abd Malik ibn Marwan also the first caliph who published his own coin in his own designed, the first dinar.

MALI EMPIRE!!! Dear brother, first of all thank you for your amazing work as usual. The Mali empire was founded in 1226 by the Great warrior Sundjata Keita. It lasted more than 450 years. One great and known figure of its empire was Mansa Musa who holds the title of the wealthiest man to ever live. Mansa Musa traveled with a huge amount of gold on his way to Mecca and came back with his cars filled with books. It is said that he caused a great depreciation of gold for how much he had given on his journey to Mecca. Europe even was not spared economically. He founded one the greatest libraries of time, and perhaps the greatest of Africa history (yes it is believed to be greater than Alexandria's). Another important figure, but unfortunately no so well known is Abu Bakr II, known as Abu Bakr the Explorer. Abu Bakr is the predecessor of Mansa Musa. He gave the Empire responsibility to Musa after the first naval expedition to the America's. Yes he's been there before Christopher Colombus. Abu Bakr was not sure to come back after his second expedition and that is why he gave the succession of the empire to Musa. Unfortunately he never came back.. The last known record of the expedition is some of the ships that came back and reported to loose contact due to a heavy storm. In the America's, could be found black skinned people prior to the triangle trade (the great African slave trade). Muslim names and mosques were recorded on the Journal de Bord of the European's first contacts in the America's (if we exclude the idea that vikings were to set foot on North American continent prior to Colombus). It is also believed that the Malian were the ones to increase blacksmith skills of the native American at the time. The Malian Empire was very famous for its administrative and ruling system. I have so much content that I can share if anyone is interested. AND isn't the Malay empire worth talking about?! 😂 Once again brother, thank you very much for your content.

@asahi toki the mongols conquered more land than the rashidum caliphate in less time

I personally agree with your list , it was very well done 👏 Also the maps were very accurate which is something that people often ignore these days👌 Although I think you missed the Saffarid , Timurids , Afsharid , Zand & Ghaznavid empires..... *these 5 dynasties were also extremely important & influential in Persia, central Asia & India & have definitely changed the future of their subsequent regions !!! Although apart from the Saffarids none of them been much of a cultural impact , but nonetheless their conquests changed the region greatly* . You know many say that the Safavids are the reason why the Persian civilization became very powerful once again & also why Iran has the borders that it has today , but I actually beg to differ : *you see apart from the Samanids which totally brought in the Persian Renaissance* (which might be too strong of a word since even before their time , the Abbasid caliphate was greatly Persianized by the time the golden age of Islam began which was actually primarily centered in Persia ! So you could also say the Abbasids brought in the Persian Renaissance by agreeing to be influenced by the Persian culture & also the Abbasids had a greater cultural impact on the future of regions that they ruled over than that of the ottomans !!! I mean after all when the ottomans fell , everything they hold onto was lost & we can see their legacy only remaining to some degree in Turkey alone) But anyway I digress : so apart from the Samanids , *the Saffarids, the seljuks, the Mughals & even the ottomans were also greatly crucial in the revival & the come back of the Persian civilization & culture before the Safavids rose to power even* (Eventhough the Saffarids were the only Iranian ones , the rest were either turkic or mongolid & yet they all created very powerful empires & almost 90% of the times adopted the Persian culture & language & even spread it to regions that the Persians themselves had not reached even during their superpower full empires pre-islam) *Also if not for the Afsharid empire Iran wouldn't have been like this today at all !!! The Safavids were very powerful & influential I agree but they also fell nonetheless & their empire could have been very easily divided between the ottomans, the Russians & the Mughals had it not been for the Afsharid empire to crazily conquer everything back* ...... So I really think you sound consider adding the Afsharids , the Saffarids into your list & also give the Abbasids more cultural points or at least lower the cultural points of the ottomans.....

Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job

Would maybe have put Almoravids, or Il-Khanate, Ghazanavids maybe, but good list and good explanations!

@@lesussie2237 I disagree. Ottomans actually became more tolerant in their last century. A look into Tanzimat and Islahat Reform will prove my point. To fight nationalism, Ottomans adopted the idea of Ottomanism, that every Ottoman citizen was equal under law no matter their religion. The only systematic mass conversions in the Ottoman Empire were in sieges and in Janissary Guild to recruited Christian boys. Sieges weren't happening because 1. it's 1800's already and 2. Ottomans were pretty weak. And Janissary Guild and Devshirme System were both abolished by Mahmud II. In Islahat and Tanzimat Reforms, Ottomans gave non-Muslims equal rights and equal responsibilities. Jizya was abolished in 1856 and non-Muslims could hold government positions, Donizetti Pasha is an example. Also, since they had equal responsibilities, they had to serve in army like Turks did. Neither non-Muslims nor Islamists liked that serving in army part, so they instead required a special tax that would take the place of military service. World War I is a different story. Before the war, there weren't too much ethnic problems. However Armenian gangs rebelling for independence with Russian support during the war made Ottomans overreact by quite a lot. Young Turks actually had many Armenian members prior to war (only 1 person among the people who told Abdulhamid II that he was overthrown was Turkish. 2 were Armenian and 1 was Greek or Jewish if I remember right.) but when all the factors like local Turks and Kurds being angry at Armenians because of rebel attacks to villages; famine, forced migration, etc. combined, events quickly escalated to mass murder.

Great video and good summation of some of the most important. I'm largely in agreement with much of your rankings (including putting the Ottomans on top in many ways) but I'd probably have included the Timurids (architecture alone is worth mention, no matter how evil Timur was and how unstable the empire was), and I would have separated the Rashidun Caliphate as in a class by itself. I'd also would have loved to have seen the Golden Horde and the Mali Kingdom mentioned.

cultural and historical impact should have bigger weight than what you have given, in my opinion. but you have a pretty good list. My picks would be: 1. Rashidun 2. Umayyad (all branches) 3. Abbasid 4. Ottoman 5. Seljuk 6. Fatimid 7. Mughal 8. Safavid 9. Mamluk The impact of these empires are still felt today. - the impact of the first 3 caliphates can never be understated, and especially the Rashidun, the direct successor of The Prophet and brought to heel two great empires and two great religions. they basically formed the core Muslim world that still exists today. if that's not the greatest cultural impact, I don't know what is. - the longevity and power and influence of the ottomans prevented european culture and religion to penetrate and return to western asia at a time of european rise and caused them to explore westward... and we all know how that turned out. - when the seljuks won in manzikert it caused the byzantines to call for european aid and the crusades were born that led to conflicts still felt and even fought today. - the Fatimids and the Safavids established the Shi'a faith which still shapes the modern Islamic geopolitics to this day. - And the Mughals cultural impact on the Indian subcontinent especially India and Pakistan we can still see to this day. and they have the most beautiful physical legacy of these empires: the Taj Majal - the Mamluks' biggest claims to fame is that they stopped the Mongols from conquering the Levant and Egypt. and removed the last strongholds of crusading christianity from western Asia. modern-day Egypt is also their legacy.

And secondly, although there certainly was some cultural interactions between Hindus and Muslims in the Delhi Sultunate ( for instance, the Bhakti movement ), it wasn't until the Mughals ( or strictly speaking, until the reign of Akbar) that Indo Persian culture start to develop and become distinct in its own right.

Ottoman empire can be in the top 5, but not the 1st, it's cultural influence was so bad that it almost destroyed the Islamic scientific and intellectual progress the islam had before them. It had no clear religious orientation that you find them sometimes as Sufi while after you find them as hardcore sunnis who will suppress sufism They kept the Islamic world centuries behind the development that rised in Europe back then. As we still living some of the consequences related to their rule till this very day. In no 1 should be the Abbasid caliphate for sure where they made the society way ahead of their neighbor states in Europe or Asia, where they've made islam and Islamic literature valuable for non Muslims as well as for MUSLIMS.

Few things wrong with this video. 1) the peak of the Abbasids was actually like the Umayyads. 2) the rashidun were pretty stable until the last few years, meaning they should not have gotten 20 rather something like 70. 3) there is no 2 separate Umayyads dynasties. Since they were all under the Umayyad caliphate that we know of they simply had different leaders with different point of views. 4) by greatest what do you mean? If we are talking about achievements militarily it’s the Rashidun who are first since they are the only ones having took down. 2 superpowers. If we are talking about size it’s the Umayyads, the one who lasted the longest would be the ottomans and the greatest with achievements would be with thé Abbasids. So it varies in what do you mean by "greatest".

And of course, this in addition to making Shi'ism the dominant presence in Iran, which isn't seen in the Fatimids case.

Yeah, me too. Timur was one of the most feared men of that era. Interestingly enough, in the 1500s, Babur, a Timurid prince from Ferghana (modern Uzbekistan), invaded Kabulistan (modern Afghanistan) and established a small kingdom there. 20 years later, he used this kingdom as a staging ground to invade the Delhi Sultanate in India and establish the Mughal Empire. This is why I love History, everything is connected in some way.

Kinda surprised that the Timuririds weren't on this list. They were massive and had a large impact on world history. Bubur the founder of the Mughal empire was a Timurid, Timur defeated and stalled the Ottomans for 50 years.
