      "Whoever kills an innocent human being,it shall be as if he has killed all mankind,and whoever saves the life of one,it shall be as if he has saved the life of the whole mankind."
      Quran-Chapter -5(Verse--32)
      .Quran tells to kill and fight only with those non-muslims who try to kill muslims first and try to capture the land of muslims..And if possible they should be forgiven according to Quran..Ask a real islamic scholar.

      ​@@Alejandro-te2nt sunni jurisprudential methodology is that of iblis. Quite literally. Iblis did qiyas and he was cursed to hell yet I find it odd in what world do sunnis think their qiyas and istislah, and istidlal, etc going to take them to Jannah.
      like you might as well just tell Allah to retire and take over for him in making halal and haram based on your "analogy". This is enough to invalidate sunni methodology even if we ignore the fact that sunnis have very minuscule amount hadith to take sunnah from even if we accept all sunni hadith are sahih every single one, even then they still fall short.
      And you say that "methodology of scholarship" as if we don't have scholarships lol.
      As for the Sunni and shia animosity being a modern phenomenon is not such a modern phenomenon. The only difference is that shia are allowed to be vocal now especially in the west without the fear of getting their heads chopped off. Before, most shia won't even publicly declare being shia because of how oppressive sunni rulers were for the past 1400 years, and even now in not such educated parts of the Sunni world, Shias are still being killed. So we quietly literally had to walk on eggshells around Sunnis in case some dumb-ass Sunni scholar issuing another fatwa or caliph making "the blood of shia is more halal to spill than red wine" (yes that's a real fatwa).
      Lastly, do not disrespect Imam Ali with the RA after his name. It should be only AS. It's not "may allah be pleased with him" as if Allah is in some way not pleased with Ali. Allah most definitely is happy and pleased with Ali, a testimony of the prophet and found in sahih Sunni books. There is no ikhtilaf on it.

    The Battle of the Camel (656 CE), as it was later styled because of Aisha's ride - a camel, was a pyrrhic victory, in that Ali's popularity suffered as a result. Aisha, owing to her status as the wife of the Prophet, was sent to Medina with every mark of honor, where she lived in retirement for the rest of her life. Although Ali's military genius spared the lives of many, several notable Muslims such as Talhah and Zubayr met their end. Shortly after his victory, Ali moved his capital to Kufa in Iraq because of popular support and to save Medina from the perils of the war.

    Another great video, but a couple of things to point:
    1. One of if not the most important reasons why Ali did not immediately take justice on the rebels, was that they were in the thousands, and he needed all the support he can get, so he argued that all provinces should give him their fealty before taking justice.
    2. Zubayer and Talha weren't necessarily rebelling against Ali, they attempted to take Justice in their own hands and punish the Rebels for killing Uthman.
    3. Prior to the battle of the camel, there was an attempt by Ali to reconcile, and it almost worked, but according to most Muslim sources the rebels in Ali's army instigated the battle, since any reconciliation would cause in their demise.

      Zubayer, Talha and Aisha didn't had a right to Uthman blood so to revenge him by their on hand and they weren't the persons of authority to bring justice, the khalifa was, this was an excuse to grab power from Ali and take the khilafa for them, some narrations state that they are the ones instigated the killing of Uthman to take the khilafa but when they saw the muslims going towards Ali they claimed that they want justice. Again they have no right whatsoever.
      AzZahbi narrates Ali when he met Zubayer he said to him "you want from me the blood of Uthman and you are the one who killed him"
      Alos he narrates "when Ali arrived at basra he sent Zubayer, Talha and Aisha a messenger baring a Quran to spare the blood of muslims yet they killed him and he was the first to be killed his name was Muslim al juhani"
      Also it was known that the killers of Uthman were in madina not basra, why they went their if they wanted justice? And we all know that Iraq was were the supporters of Ali reside and kufa was his chosen capital, so we see that they wanted to strike the base of the supporters of Ali to take the power from him and it wasn't about justice. They killed Uthman to take power, and when that didn't happen they fought Ali to take the power from him

      روي عن عبد الله بن عياش بن أبي ربيعة أنه دخل على عثمان بن عفان وقت حصاره في بيته من قبل الثوار، فسمع كلام الثوار فمرَّ عليهم طلحة بن عبيد الله ودعى ابن عديس وناجاه، ثم رجع ابن عديس وقال لأصحابه: لا تتركوا أحداً يدخل على هذا الرجل، ولا يخرج من عنده، فقال عثمان: هذا ما أمر به طلحة بن عبيد الله، ثم قال عثمان: اللهم اكفني طلحة بن عبيد اللَّه، فإنه حمل عليّ هؤلاء وألبهم، واللَّه إني لأرجو أن يكون منها صِفرًا، وأن يُسفَكَ دَمه، إنَّه انتهكَ مني ما لا يحلُّ لهُ.

      قال اليعقوبي: وحصر ابن عديس البلوي عثمان في داره، فناشدهم الله، ثم نشد مفاتيح الخزائن، فأتوا بها إلى طلحة بن عبيد الله، وعثمان محصور في داره، وكان أكثر من يؤلّب عليه طلحة والزبير وعائشة.
      تاريخ اليعقوبي ص١٧٦
      دخل المغيرة بن شعبة على عائشة، فقالت: يا أبا عبد الله لو رأيتني يوم الجمل قد نفذت النصال هودجي، حتى وصل بعضها إلى جلدي، فقال لها المغيرة: وددت والله أن بعضها كان قتلك، فقالت: يرحمك الله، ولم تقول هذا؟ قال: لعلها تكون كفّارة في سعيك على عثمان، فقالت: أما والله لئن قلت ذلك لما علم الله أني أردت قتله، ولكن علم الله أني أردتُ أن يُقاتل فَقوتلتْ، وأردتُ أن يُرمى فرُميتْ، وأردتُ أن يُعصى فعُصيتْ؛ ولو عَلِمَ مني أني أردت قتله لقُتلت. العقد الفريد ج٥ ص٤٦

      Talha and Zubayer voted for Ali so they can get to rule Iraq and Yeman and when he didn't gave them what they want, they went on to say we want to avenge Uthman and took Aisha with them as she didn't want to see Ali as khalifa, and made this an excuse to rebel against Ali, it's not our version of history it's all in your books, weird how you don't read tour books and follow blindly like sheep, the slander about those sahaba are from your books i referenced them go read and so your homework, tell me by what you said that they decide Ali is the khalifa why they fought him ? What is the penalty for fighting the rightful khalifa according to you ? Why did Aisha went to basra on a camel while Allah ordered her to stay at her home like the rest of the wives of the prophet ? That alone condemns her, why she did fitnah and thousands of muslims were killed because of her ?

      I'd like to see more, too, but you should also check out their existing videos that go into detail on many of the Islamic Caliphates. Though I don't know if ALL entities in history that have referred to themselves as "Caliphates" are considered Caliphates by ALL Muslims--meaning some of the Muslim empires in these videos might fall short--I suspect there's plenty to suit all tastes.
      E.g. the Ottoman Caliphate has a whole of videos on this channel! To find it, just click on the words Kings and Generals under the image, then click "Playlist" and find "Ottoman History" at the very bottom. You will also find some applicable videos in the Medieval Battles playlist, and any playlist that has the word "Crusade" in it. :)
      You can also search for these video titles, which have a lot of stuff about many caliphates, even if not all the videos are solely about the caliphates. Here are some I think would apply, with the most caliphate-y ones at the top:
      1. Berber Empires: Zirids, Almoravids and Almohads DOCUMENTARY
      2. Muslim Schism: How Islam Split into the Sunni and Shia Branches
      3. Islamic Golden Age: Scientific Method DOCUMENTARY
      4. Islamic Golden Age: Islamic Golden Age - Philosophy and Humanities
      5. Battle of Talas 751 - Abbasid - Tang War DOCUMENTARY
      6. Crusades from the Muslim Perspective
      7. Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa (1212) DOCUMENTARY
      (The last one is largely about Al-Andalus/Spain as a whole, and shows the time when the Emirate of Cordoba declared THEMSELVE to be the "Caliphate of Cordoba.")

Zubier said: Yes!
    then the prophet replied: "one day you will fight him and your the one who is in the wrong side".
    So for that reason, Zubair left the battle

      There is no clear hadith that condemns one side of the future battle of the Camel. But there is a sahih hadith about the killers of Amar Ibn Yassir being the wrong side, this was the battle of Siffin. The battle of Siffin is comprehensive & difficult to blame one side, it was a real fitnah because people wanted to restore back dignity of the caliphate and punish Othman killers, Ali didn't follow that path because he had his ijtihad and wanted stability and avoiding more bloodshed. But Siffin battle was a war for power, where it seems Muawiyah's goal was taking power at all costs and Allah knows best. This doesn't help Shia who deviated from islam.

      @ibrahimyilmaz4861 Před 2 lety +28

      @@giovannijunior9642 Actually, what you said is incorrect, at least partly. When Zayd bin Sabid compiled the Quran under Abu bakr's Caliphate, the companians of the prophet sav agreed on his compilation. Zayd bin Sabid was someone who was known for his amazing level of Hifz (regarding his memorization of the Quran) but nevertheless he insisted on getting witnesses for every single verse, no witness could testify for 2 verses. This lead to this unquestionable level of accuracy.
      So what is the whole "slight differences" issue? It is the issue of Qiraat in the Quran. The different reading styles. These are not man-made, but divine. They all stem from the Prophet sav and there are 7 Mutawatir level authentic reading styles (including the Asim Qiraat that is the most used since uthman). All of these have a chain of narration going through the huge companions like Abdullah ibn Masoud or Abdullah ibn Abbas up to the Prophet sav, having him as the source of it. Some few Qurans also had slight mistakes from the original due to the Hifz (memorization) of the author being wrong in parts. Notably, these were the minority and the huge majority of Muslims agreed that these were, in fact, mistakes by those people. After Zayd bin sabid had compiled the Quran in a single Mushaf with his authentic method, this mushaf was kept with Hafsa bint Umar, the wife of the prophet sav. Long story short, Uthman made copies of it and sent them to the city centers and ordered that the populous may copy the Quran that was sent and burn all other Qurans they had at home, in order to prevent mistakes from occurring in the reading of the Quran.
      Regarding the "Abdullah bin Masuds Quran" you mentioned:
      He didnt have a "Quran". He didnt have a book. It was his Qiraat that you refer to. His Qiraat wasnt "another version" it was merely a different Qiraat formt he Qiraat of the majority of Muslims, nonetheless an authentic one traced to the prophet sav himself. A senior scholar to his, known for his accuracy in memorization, Exegese and understanding of the Quran, the cousin of the prophet sav, ibn Abbas (ra) noted that:
      "My Qiraat is the Qiraat of Zayd (bin Sabid, the man who compiled the Quran) [ie. i agree with him], but i agree with about 10 readings of ibn Mesuds Qiraat."
      [ibn Abu Dawud, Kitabul Mashahif, Page 55].
      Abdullah ibn Masud simply didn't have another Quran, he just had a different Qiraah, which wasn't destroyed by Uthman or something like that, the Isnad of many authentic Qiraat go through him.
      Regarding the "mushaf of Fatima":
      This isn't even claimed to be a Quran-Mushaf. The existence of the Mushaf of Fatima is only claimed by the Shia. Sunnis, who make up 90% of Muslims, don't even acknowledge its claimed existence. Shias claim, that when the prophet sav died, the angel Jibreel (Gabriel) came and talked to Fatima, the daughter of the prophet sav to "cheer her up". He would convey her predictions of the future and talk to her. The Mushaf of Fatima is claimed to have documented these conversations between her and Jibreel as well as some predictions of the future brought to her by the same angel. As i have said, only Shias regard this presumed Mushaf to be real and even if it is real, this doesn't proof anything since nobody claims this is a Quranic mushaf but some sort of different revelation that has nothing to do with the Quran.
      And i'm sure Qurtubi spoke of it, but you should know that not only "early Muslims scholars and historians" have spoke of it, as if this is some kind of secret matter, but even contemporary Muslim scholars and historians talk of it, not to forget the classical ones.
      I would also kindly ask you regarding your sources, where did you get this misinformation from (The Qiraat of Abdullah bin Masoud and Mushaf of Fatima)?

    3 Empires emerged & swiftly reached their maximum extents within decades, & immediately fractured due to civil wars due to succession struggles:
    1) Alexander's Empire (Divided after his death between his generals due to civil war)
    2) Muslim Caliphate (Faced 5 Civil Wars, passing from Rashiduns to Umayyads & ultimately fractured during Abbasids era)

      Third worst would be carolingian empire which just kept breaking up, getting united and breaking up again. The western Francia after the last interregnum evolved into HRE which was.. (you probably know the memes)

I will not say any further. Otherwise, my Muslim Brethren who harbor sensations for Umayyads will not hesitate from attacking my loyalty to my religion.
      Regarding, Alexander or Mongols, I'll say that I observed their empire's expansion based on their military tactics & strategies. Ultimately they didn't had any basic political or cultural cause to keep their empire unified. Which led to their fracture.
      Regarding Carolingian Empire, it fractured, but it left up two out of three successors to emerge up as strong future kingdoms. East & West Francia who would make up after centuries modern France & Germany.
