    Question: Why did Ibn Tulun need a fatwa for his war? Many Muslims and Muslim leaders fought other Muslims before and after the Abbasids (as well as the Abbasids themselves) without the need for a Jihad, and they were able to garner immense support with or without the clergy.

    He just wanted additional legitimacy for the war. Since al-Muwaffaq had arrested the Caliph, there was cause to say that he had committed a crime against Islam. A Fatwa could've helped him get more people on his side. Same thing happened in the Great Abbasid Civil War.

    It seemed to me that whenever the Abbasid Caliphate was on the road of recovery, something bad must happen to prevent the Caliphate's revival. And the most brutal of them all is when the Mongols arrived in 1258 and we all know what happened when they arrived at Baghdad.

BTW, after you're done telling the history of the abbassid caliphate (not before a long long time I hope) you should make an abbassid playlist but in chronological historical order, not the order of video upload, it would be excellent. thanks again.

    Love your videos. Been a fan of the channel for a while now but I only subscribed today. I love your series on Al-Andalus. If you want an interesting topic to cover for a video I suggest you look into the Umayyad family after the collapse of their caliphate. Ibn Hazm’s book on Arab genealogies lists many Umayyad families (descended from Abdulrahman I and other branches) present during his time. It will be a difficult topic to research but something new in Islamic history as it is rarely covered. Good luck!

    Another great video man! Could you perhaps one day do a video on the issue of Hindu-Muslim relations in the subcontinent, particularly to the ideological conflict between the supporters of the two-nation theory and composite nationalists? I find this to be a fascinating subject, simply because of the intellectuals on both sides of the argument. You had people like Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, Muhammad Iqbal, and Muhammad Ali Jinnah who supported a separate Muslim state, but you also had scholars like Barkatullah Bhopali, Ubaidullah Sindhi, Inayatullah Khan Mashriqi and Hussain Ahmed Madani who made compelling arguments in favor of Hindu-Muslim unity.

The Sultans are fascinating, not only have they defeated the Mongols but also went on to conquer the majority of India during the early 14th century. Sadly it’s quite underrated , I was hoping for you to create a video about it, no worries if you don’t, I don’t want to put any pressure on you!😊

    9:36 is this the origin of the term “Maghreb and Mashriq”? Thought I don’t know where the word “Maghreb” as we use it in English comes from, I know we use it today to refer to the land of the Amazigh. But I’m referring specifically in the context of dividing the traditional Muslim world into west (Maghreb) and east (Mashriq).

    Maghreb is usually used to refer to North-Western Africa. This divide of the viceroyalties didn't really do much. When we say the Islamic West, we usually refer to Maghreb, Sub-Saharan Africa and al-Andalus. Egypt and Libya are not within that definition.

    The arrival of the Turks in the Muslim world pushed Muslim power further into India. Of particular note is Mahmud of Ghazni (r. 997-1030), a Turkic sultan who was the first to lead military expeditions deep into India. By establishing himself as the leader of an autonomous state based in Ghazni in the Afghan highlands, he was close enough to India to focus much of his attention on the subcontinent. His seventeen military campaigns into northern India served as the basis of his rule, bringing wealth and power to him and his empire. While his raids were no doubt detrimental to local power and rule in India, he also established major cultural centers and helped spread Persian culture throughout his reign. The legendary Persian poet Firdawsi, who perhaps did more to revive ancient Persian culture than any other person after the country's conversion to Islam, and al-Biruni, a scientist, historian, geologist and physicist, were both mainstays of Mahmud's court. Because of his status as a patron of the arts coupled with his ruthless raids into India, Mahmud of Ghazni's legacy in India today is colored by modern politics as much as anyone else. Regardless of his legacy, Mahmud and the Ghaznavid Dynasty he founded laid the foundation for Muslim conquest in India. The succeeding dynasty, the Ghurids, also ruled out of Afghanistan, and managed to push their borders even further into India, capturing Delhi in 1192. The Ghurids relied on slave soldiers of Turkic origin who formed the core of their army, much like the contemporary Ayyubids further west in the Muslim world. Like their counterparts in Egypt, who established the Mamluk Sultanate, the slave soldiers in India eventually overthrew their masters and inaugurated their own dynasty: the Delhi Sultanate.
