The rise and fall of the medieval Islamic Empire - Petra Sijpesteijn & Birte Kristiansen

Trace the rise and fall of the Islamic Empire, from the prophet Muhammad in the 7th century to the sacking of Baghdad.
--
In the 7th century CE, the prophet Muhammad united the people of the Arabian Peninsula through the formation of Islam. Over the next 30 years, caliphs conquered vast areas beyond Arabia, including their mighty neighbors the Persians and Byzantines. But an empire this vast was at risk of conflict and fracture. Petra Sijpesteijn and Birte Kristiansen detail the rise and fall of the Islamic Empire.
Lesson by Petra Sijpesteijn & Birte Kristiansen, directed by Elahe Baloochi, Fardi Mahmoodi.

    @@Neopetopia This isnt convincing enough. There are millions of muslims that througout the ages drew themselves and others. Furthermore, basically every single caliph had official portraits made of themselves. I understand that muslim families are usually very big, with the prophet himself having like 11 wifes, and then also his companions that had many too. Why would it be forbidden to draw the face of the companions children? Why do a lot of muslim's cherish these people? You can find official monuments everywhere dedidcated to these rather insignificant children of the companions. So again, why elevate them to the same status as the Prophet when they are just regular people who arent special at all.

    @@marcstump8189 Thanks for the question! Preface; please bear in mind I am not a fully-fledged expert in this. However, in Islam, humans are believed to be God's creation and the Prophet (PBUH) is considered to be God's greatest creation of all. Therefore, humans are not allowed to draw him (PBUH) because no-one is capable of recreating God's creation, we cannot reproduce God's creation. This is because every single human creation (whatever that creation may be) has some sort of flaw, one way or another, (because of human nature) but God's creations do not. Another reason is the danger of idol worship. Idol-worshipping in Islam is completely forbidden, highlighting the religion's monotheistic feature. There is a danger that such images and drawings of significant religious figures may be taken on by some groups and be worshipped to (perhaps in the the present, or further generations down). Consequently, Islamic art mainly revolves around calligraphy and/or geometric shapes and designs. Thanks again for the question, I hope this helps!

    Well, Muslims don't want what happened with Jesus and the Christians to happen to us (although, it's still not great.) The Prophet Muhammad was a man - the greatest of men, of course - but a man, nonetheless. Giving him an image would increase the chances of worshipping creation rather than Creator exponentially. 🤷‍♂️

Neither Roger Bacon nor his later " - Page 200 " namesake has any title to be credited with having introduced the experimental method. Roger Bacon was no more than one of the apostles of Muslim science and method to Christian Europe ; and he never wearied of declaring that a knowledge of Arabic and Arabian science was for his contemporaries the only way to true knowledge. " - Page 201 " and those arose directly and solely as a result of Arabian civilization. Down to the fifteenth century whatever scientific activity existed in Europe was engaged in assimilating Arab learning without greatly adding to it " - Page 202 The history of science and the new humanism(Book by. George Sarton): " perhaps the main, as well as the least obvious, achievement of the Middle Ages, was the creation of the experimental spirit, or more exactly its slow incubation. This was primarily due to Muslims down to the end of the twelfth century " - Page 114 New Researches Into the Composition and Exegesis of the Qoran(Book by. Hartwig Hirschfeld): " We must not be surprised to find the Qoran regarded as the fountain-head of all the sciences " - Page 9 The Essays or Counsels Civil and Moral(Book by. Francis Bacon): " It is true, that a little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion. " - Of Atheism - In fact, many experts recognize Ibn al-Haytham, who lived in present-day Iraq between 965 and 1039 A.D., as the founder of the scientific method. He invented the pinhole camera, discovered the laws of refraction and studied a number of natural phenomena, such as rainbows and eclipses.

    I was raised Shiah as well and I completely understand the struggle that is dealing with this paradoxical nature of the information that we receive. But even after watching this video, I still don't think I know what happened. I think this video was also the Sunni side of the story. If I show this video to my dad, he will start ranting on and on about how the prophet DID choose a successor and that the caliphs of the Sunni were simply a bunch of power-hungry hypocrites (except for the fourth caliph, of course). If I ask a Sunni about what happened...well, actually I don't have any Sunni friends and I've never been exposed to their ideologies but I'm sure they have their own version of history as well. anyways, what I mean to say is I understand the uncertainty but this video did not solve that and I am currently living in a country (Iran) that is run by an ideology that I cannot 100 percent believe in.

    To everyone who's asking "What about the Ottomans?": There are large areas of the Islamic world, like Persia, which the Ottomans never controlled and which ended up in the hands of rival powers like the Ilkhanate. The Ottomans also came to power quite late in the Middle Ages, lasted into the Modern era, and controlled large areas where Islam never became the majority religion, so calling it a "medieval Islamic empire" makes only a little more sense than calling the Holy Roman Empire the successor of the Roman Empire.

    Fun fact the medieval period ended in 1453 when the Ottomans conquered Constantinople. In any case other major Muslim empires would be the Egyptian Mamluks (who defeated the crusaders and Mongols), Iranian Safavids (who controlled much of central Asia), and Indian Mughals (who controlled much of India). I don't think Indonesia ever had a comparable Muslim empire.

    The narrator does seems to be a first tongue language Arabic speaker. However, it’s a shame that she’s pronouncing “Muhammad” wrong. She’s saying “Mahammad” with an A, while she needs to pronounce it correctly as “MUhammad”. It also would have been respectful to call him “Prophet Muhammad”.

    In my honors department here at the University of Toronto we learned of the amazing love and respect Adam Smith (Father of Capitalism) had for Islam. In fact, reading his essays he very much respected the Caliphs as 'Magnificent Princes' whom restored the sciences etc of Europe. He gives heavy credit to current success of Europe and the West (Economically) to Islam and Islamic civilization.

    "Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, published in 1776, symbolized the quality of the age along with research into the revolution in energy using fossil fuels. However, from the point of view of continuity in history, Adam Smith's theory of the value of work may have also been a rehash of Ibn Khaldun, the Arab historian from the fourteenth century. Ibn Khaldun pointed out clearly that it was production that was the source of true wealth beyond that of commerce." - Hisao Furukawa, Meiji Japan's Encounter with Modernization, 1995.

In addition to that if you put a face to something that people consider devine they will start to draw it and put it everywhere and then there will be someone who will start to worship those pictures eventually by misinterpreting some religious texts , and it could start conflicts among the same religion if people start to prefer a picture to another considering it a religious symbol. So all the prophets in Islam should not be drawn, not only Mohammed. Also God cannot be drawn in Islam, because it minimizes his status as a creator, in Islam God is a completely different entity.

The universities of Toledo, Cordoba, Seville, and Granada, were sought by the pale student from other lands to acquaint himself with the sciences of the Arabs, and the treasured lore of antiquity.”

    Politically speaking, the Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates are generally not considered an Islamic Empire but Arab Monarchies. The political structure that defines an Islamic Caliphate ended after the civil war, after the armistice between the First Umayyad Caliph and the 5th Rashidun (Islamic) Caliph. After this event the office of the caliph (which was an elected from a council) became a hereditary one within the Umayyad and later Abbasid Clan passing down in a classical monarchist way to the next guy in line to the throne and government offices which used to be meritocratic were given to fellow clan members.

    The Ummayads and Abbasaids were legitimate Caliphs of the Muslim world, even if they were hereditary monarchies. Moreover, Islam as a religion isn’t against hereditary monarchies as long as the ruler chooses competent righteous people in roles of government and the Caliph has that authority. The last legitimate Caliphate ended in 1924 when the Ottoman caliphate was abolished by Ataturk.

It has a very real life and development in its Arabic surroundings. In astronomy and mathematics, the work of the Greek and Indian scientists was coordinated and there a very real advance was made. The Arabs not only extended what they had received from the Greeks but checked and corrected older records."

Just being neutral, why we mention Mongols atrocities but not the Muslims. Both conquered by massacres and rules by adopting /tolerating local norms.

    @@0249er I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume that those who were in charge of the Caliphate, were not much interested in science، culture and civilization and as a result of that, they were not interested in investing on scientists. My reason for this assumption is this: When asked about what must be done with libraries in Alexandria, the 2nd Caliph (Omar) said that: “As for the books you mention, if there is in it what complies with the Book of God [Q’uran], then it is already there and is not needed and if what is in these books contradict the Book of God there is no need for it. And you can then proceed in destroying them.”[1] [1] T’arīḫ al-Ḥukamā’ by ʻAlī ibn Yūsuf Qifṭī; edited by August Müller and Julius Lippert (Leipzig, Dieterich, 1903); pp. 354-357. So you can see that burning libraries and destroying scientific achievements were the M.O. of the Muslim conquerers, which was performed in both Egypt and Persia.

" Nixey writes up a storm. Each sentence is rich, textured, evocative, felt. Christian monks in silent orders summoned up pagan texts from library stores with a gagging hand gesture. The destruction of the extraordinary, frankincense-heavy temple of Serapis in Alexandria is described with empathetic detail; thousands of books from its library vanished, and the temple’s gargantuan wooden statue of the god was dismembered before being burned. One pagan eyewitness, Eunapius, remarked flintily that the only ancient treasure left unlooted from the temple was its floor" The arabs sow themselves as the preservers of civilization and they collected and translated books from all around the world sending state funded expeditions to acquire books and translators as well as attracting the bright and gifted to their newly founded state funded university's.

    Unfortunately your comments are gonna fall on deaf ears my friend. This is such a common fact even ibn khaldun who was an Arab scientist admitted that most scholars were of Persian descent but people still don’t want to face the truth. “…It is a remarkable fact that, with few exceptions, most Muslim scholars…in the intellectual sciences have been non-Arabs…thus the founders of grammar were Sibawaih and after him, al-Farisi and Az-Zajjaj. All of them were of Persian descent…they invented rules of (Arabic) grammar…great jurists were Persians… only the Persians engaged in the task of preserving knowledge and writing systematic scholarly works. Thus the truth of the statement of the prophet becomes apparent, ‘If learning were suspended in the highest parts of heaven the Persians would attain it”…The intellectual sciences were also the preserve of the Persians, left alone by the Arabs, who did not cultivate them…as was the case with all crafts…This situation continued in the cities as long as the Persians and Persian countries, Iraq, Khorasan and Transoxiana (modern Central Asia), retained their sedentary culture.” www.kavehfarrokh.com/iranian-studies/iranica/impact-legacy/ibn-khaldun-role-of-iranians-in-islamic-civilization/
