Ibn Khaldun & the Muqaddimah: A historical review
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 02. 2018
- In this second part of my series about the great figures of history, I discuss the 14th century philosopher and historian Ibn Khaldun. Sometimes considered the "father of the science of history and sociology", this Muslim thinker was also a significant political advisor of his time and wrote one of the great masterpieces of Islamic history - The Muqaddimah.

Seriously you're so underrated
Hi. I wanted to say thank you and your teaching captured my attention. I am striving to learn about the Muslim thinkers and I admire your style and new way of teaching others.
There should be 4 generations according to ibn Khaldun.
The best way, of course, is to check it directly in his work, but I heard about them in the following interpretation:
The 1st generation of rulers:
Nomads come from the desert to a city, slaughter the city's elite and establish their dynasty.
2nd generation:
Continues conquest, expands the empire.
3rd generation:
Enjoys the greatness achieved by the previous generations and focuses on development and beautification - sponsors arts, sciences etc.
4th generation:
Falls into the crisis of "nothing left to desire", drowns in luxury and decadence, and finally gets slaughtered by another tribe of nomads coming from the desert.
I am currently reading the muqadima and it's so logical regarding who we humans are
Where can I buy that book
@@alireact1827 i can send you if you want
@@ibomohamud please do. Where can I contact you?
@@alireact1827 did u get it?
I think it's strange that when reading old figures, people feel pressured to either agree with them one hundred percent on everything, or condemn them completely. Didn't having mixed feelings used to be normal?
im pretty sure this is the default position but its just that many people wont read in depth enough to reach that point of nuance
@@akrbm1425 Nuance loses its practice in the age of mass formation which (imo) the developed world is finding itself in.
As I mature and educate myself, I find myself having mixed feelings about many things, more nuanced. Using reason and remaining impartial so that I judge accurately.

Thank you for these videos, from the bottom of my heart. You are a blessing, brother.
Great and well thought out and well researched presentation. May Allah bless you. Ameen.
I don't know why, but people watch more despicable channeld and cookery channels than this treasure.
You are a living treasure for people who love history and theology.
His education included sufism, philosophy, Quran, mathematics, logics, astronomy.. he wrote about sociology and histrory..
What a complete man
The Blacks near the equator brains boil. Not very complete.
A comprehensive review, I really enjoyed watching your thoughtful and detailed review. Thank you.
I'm in my second year of philosophical studies ,and you're one of my best teachers . Respect for this authentic work from north Morocco .

The music is magnificent
We need to discuss more concepts about almokadima, thanks
According to Robert Irwin, King Pedro of Castile ("Pedro the Cruel") offered to restore to Ibn Khaldun his family's ancestral Andalusian estates on the condition that he'd convert to Christianity. He refused.
Why would he even Join an irrational Religion which even doesn't have logical bases

Fillip you’ve mentioned the Mongols in several videos as they intersect with various other historical pieces. I would hope you make a video about them and their religious ideas. As i understand it they had a unique interesting religion as well.
I really appreciate how you refrained from comparing him to Machiavelli. Although the context of their careers led to similar preoccupations, there appear to have been essential differences in the conclusions they came to. I get the impression that Ibn Khaldun was much less personally ambitious and more exasperated with the human condition as he observed it. I do wonder how that exasperation may have come off to his peers in the political world, however. I would imagine they probably projected all of their own paranoias and suspicions onto an emotion they couldn't feel or identify due to their relative ignorance, but I would have to dig deeper into his work to confirm or refute that. Thanks for introducing me to this.
I’m grateful for every episode you present and particularly the attention you gave to the racist perspective of even this enlightened man with regard to African people. You are appreciated
this channel is the only reason im passing intercultural studies
Great video!! If you want to know the music played in the first two mins of the video, it is called لما بدأ يتثنى beautiful piece of Arabic music written in Muslim Spain.
Thank you ❤ my learning spirit become increasing because of you ❤
He had argued that societies is like human body.. . birth youth then old age and oblivion in the end.That means he percieved societies as organic.
I beloved prophet Muhammad peace be upon him stated that anyone who dies from drowning or a stomach illness dies as a martyr. May Allah be pleased with them all. Also thank you for sharing this video 4 years later I'm tapping in
As a Tunisian 🇹🇳 I'm proud of him . Thank you for the video
Thank you for this video and all your videos. Peace and Love from Tunisia :)
Hi Amna
A very beautiful introduction of Muqaddemah. Political leaders aswell as intellectuals should be familiar to the Assabeiiah theory to extend the first 2 stages of social changes. A very breleiiant theory. I am amazed how clear this young man is in understanding concepts. His videos are very useful. Thank you.
the fact that you don't have long podcasts exploring these topics in greater depth is "highly problematic and dangerous".. lol
Anyways, awesome stuff!! Really hope you do longer videos in the future.

I have been looking at resources about the life and work of Abu Hanifa, beyond popular stories (kissa). I'd really appreciate if you can do a video based on solid historical sources on him, his times, and his works. I think he is a key person in establishing reason at the foundations of Islamic development, in a time of a lot of conflicting movements. We probably need a similar figure strong both in religious principles and also reason, to again set a path.
A biographical movie about the man or even a TV series would be very interesting to see.
Lovely work.

You really did not need background music running all the time. Other than that, enjoyed your content 👌🏼
I learned more watching this channel, may more people spend their time here rather than playing games. the knowledge share here is worthless. thank you Filip
I listen to this while playing games! ;)
@@Facerip same here lol
*OK calm down. Stop simping.*
In the Muqaddimah, Ibn Khaldun explains the concept of the world and hierarchy of beings that prevailed Worldwide, pre-scientific revolution. It's an amazing read just for that, the idea of earth, water, air, and fire as "elemental" (rather than as states of matter) with the sacred value of the number "4", the absolute horizontal plane of the surface of still water and the absolute vertical direction of the flame of a candle, the hierarchy of the four corresponding types of beings; the lower animals, mankind, the angels, and God. Then, the whole historical dialectic of dynasty (which, more than the clan support aspect mentioned in this video, can be representative of family wealth in general), this book is remarkable, probably in the top five of six most important literary works of all time if a person is looking for the ability to relate directly to the overall mentality of civilization incontrovertibly viewed as wrapped up in spiritual influences.
He has given vivid description of Ameer Taimor(Timerlung) when he attended his court as voicroy of Egiptian Monarch.
i noticed that despite me being subscribed my autoplay never plays one of your videos after im done with one. Im pretty sure its that way with most channels so idk why you're the exception....? Awesome content nonetheless
Thanks for this. This one is quite old and short. Can you do a new one on him and long and very detailed one?
Hope you reupload the video without the music, its very noisy and frustrating
Thanks and keep the great work
With respect to Ibn e Khaldun’s reference as to the behaviour of Africans, there’s no doubt that it was racist and frankly demeaning. I would just like to point out that he was trying to disprove the popular jewish notion of the black race arising from the disobedient son of prophet Noah a.s called Ham. Going by his theory of human evolution in the muqaddimah, I think he was proposing a theory to explain the skin colour and the nature of Africans. This point of view in itself was revolutionary for that time as it went against the Torah’s teachings and it was also popular among Muslims of the time. The fact that he placed his intellect (Scientific zeal) above all is commendable for that period

He also described Arab tribal society as rough, crude, prone for violence similar to Mongols....
@@knowingthetruth8851 that is not how christians behaved and persecuted pagans from the moment they took power. the whole world knows you drink the blood of christ and drown the world in blood also just like evangelicals are doing in mid east
I like your presentation
I just bought this from bookstore and got recommended this video
I love your channel omg, I want to watch all your vids. I heard that Karl Marx’s concept of historical materialism was influenced by Ibn Khaldun’s writings. Is this true?
How can these two even be on the same pole!
It may be also true in relation to their economical theories. Or, if not direct influence, then certainly continuity, something like ibn Khaldun ==> Adam Smith ==> Karl Marx.
I like you video I hope good videos
Maashallah. I recommend you to young people whenever I can.. may Allah make you into a great Alim.
Thank you Abd
I'd love to see some thing on Sheikh Badruddin of Simawna. JZK.
Please could you give the references of the music that you use
It’s true honey to my ears !
Hey LTR! I’m searching for a video of yours that I watched a long time ago. I thought that it would be this one with Ibn khaldun but it doesn’t seem to be it. It was a book written by an Islamic explorer and philosopher that included information on medicine- I think with the dissection of a dear. I think it also mentioned a man who went to the wisest sage and found that he and the worshippers of the city were essentially getting at the same thing. Ugh!! What was the name of that philosopher, book, and video??!
بسیار خوب بیان شد... سپاس
Thank You for your presentation 👍 it was good to remind us about this great historian who tried hard to be close to the facts as much as possible...🌞🌞🌞
Suggestion . Idries Shah sufi from London England
damn the music is so nice XD
You’ve done a great job bro…
czcams.com/video/6lfFp4krWoE/video.htmlsi=no6kJBCSVdXOOxcy worth exploring on the same topic
I cannot believe this is what you got out of The Introduction Of Ibn Khaldun.
In my humble opinion his one of the most important political subject essence *Assabiya* is and will remain relevant in all times of history especially in Eastern or Muslim world though it begs lot of time to shine light upon why today Muslims still stuck to ( consciously/unconsciously) as like Totalitarions/Dictators and what the West propagates or is thought to be presumed by whole globe i.e democracy.
( though leaving this for further debate , n 'm not gud at typing too)
Second it was Assabiya I wanted to talk about in humbleness , third generation falls coz of they achieved like whatever excellence available at time so they turn towards settling in cities /arts (etc) leaving sword aside n here comes the fall when they relax, it's not their disconnection from subjects(tribes) but tribes/subjects are well immersed too in every luxury available accordingly to their status. That's y if another or some other tribe/king/dynasty comes,follows usually they won't go much far, as ppl will soon revert to royal heirs of first dynasty to have them again to continue again like their forefathers.This was Ummayads The Entrant Abdul Rehman Ad Dakhil who established Ummayads dynasty thousands of k ok kilometers away again in other continent Europe when his forefathers lost Damascus to Abbasids. North Africans choose him as their leaders being as remnant of Royal Ummayad.
BTW it's excellent subject to understand Eastern /Muslims as they just inherited democracy from their being slave/colonial past,. Their forefathers actually never practiced/lived democracy but later generations( first/2nd/3rd etc which memory even faded with nxt generation that what actually they were (3rd generation of last dynasty which lost to West lived luxurious excelence period before being subject to West and their last time was just one man rule) however these 4th / 5th liberated generations got democracy which their forefathers were not used too ( but it (Asabiya/one man Rule) time n again flicker being part of their DNA

totally goosebumps his biography
Please make an episode about Al Niffarry
Can you do a video on the great writer and historian, Ibn Batuta?
Respects from Uzbekistan)))))
A vidéo about Tarik Ibn Ziyad maybe he wasn't a philosopher but he was a war general nevertheless his story is incredible
Would you please make a video on Abu Hanifa sometime?
I’m sorry but can I get the link to the intro music? I know it’s called Lamma Bada Yathana
Extraordinary
Can you do research about Ibn Taymiyyah?
Note: about that Black people from Nigeria: He simply was trying to refer people who live in hot climate to have a harsh fate, he was not actually trying to condemn them but the region they live in. Too hot and arid climates according to him (then for Montesquieu and finally Jared Diamond today) leads the people living there to be more loose in every sense while on the other hand harsher and colder climates can take men into shape above any kind of exercise. Because this descriptions he made, the quote "Geography is destiny" is mostly attributed to him.
But there is I think more humourous places exist in his city management view like cutting down the trees and forests around the city so city can have a more refreshing air or how he thinks that there is nothing but water south sphere of the World because that part is all under water as if world was a soccer ball floating on a pile of water. Lastly his depiction of the sun as it shouldn't be something hot, because heath on earth only comes from reflected light on earth was very funny too.
Please make a video about al hallaj
Please make videos on shah walliullah qutbuddin dehalvi from 1703-1763
The music in the background is too loud. It is disturbing. Otherwise like yr analysis.
Great work sir, may I know about his religious beliefs like I heard he was belong to the nizari ismaili Muslim...
Next, Imam Al Ghazali and Mulla Shadra, ♥️🙏🙏🙏
reading it rn actually i got it about a week ago
Just wanted to tell u that: ibn actually means “son of” in arabic when ever u say “Ibn” make sure u put his first name in because his father might have 3 or 4 sons
yes you're right but some historical figures are called simply like that, "Ibn sina" "Ibn khaldun" "ibn haitham", there's no need for him to put their first name.
@@bakbakbakduck ok thank u
Is this music is one of Asmahan's somgs'
There was a study about psychopaths always ascending to positions of power. Im curious how many people would still want to rule if the law was that they're to be lynched after one term in office. I mean hypothetically, ofc.
Plato thought that anyone who wanted to rule shouldn't be allowed to rule but why not make use of the above instead, I mean it's the perfect pruning mechanism for society. Heck, could even make the new one do it themselves, make a contest out of it so as to avoid the ethical ramifications of the state having right over one's life.
Wow more relatable
I just bought this book & Mien keimf but I couldn't wait for it to arrive so I'm watching this As Salamu Alikum

It would good if you can explain why muslims were so interested in Philosophy. Jazak allah khair
Ronald Reagan once cited him as an inspiration for Reaganomics - apparently he said once that if you decrease the tax rate it will increase govt revenue over time because people will use their money to create more wealth. However other scholars state that this is a misunderstanding of what Ibn Khaldun said.
Man the content is well put together. But man, as a Tunisian and Arab speaker I have to say, the music is so cliché, why destroying such beautiful content with such a thing. keep up the good job
I disagree. The music works well with the video
Want to know about Omar khaiyam
there is also a channel named al-muqaddimah
that channel seems to also explain some of ibnu khaldun theory in a video titled how to rule in the islamic world
Interesting to hear this analysis from a Marxist perspective.
Ibn Khaldun's analysis reminds me of historical materialism & his idea of Asabiyyah sounds similar to the Marxist dialectical analysis of social class -- the revolution settling into class society (a clear divide between ruler & subject) which produces a dialectic in which the ruling class & the laboring class have divergent interests... ultimately leading to the resolution of the dialectic: a new revolution.
Excellent presentations. I would much appreciate a detailed coverage of Buddha, his religion and its sects. Also Llamas of Tibet and the Khaldi religion of the Uaartu and Hurrian peoples of ancient Turkey.
Kwame Ture African Socialist used him as a example of socialism before Marx.
One thuggery is of author of the *Prince* which is almost copy paste of great Ibn e Khaldun's masterpiece work.

Another great presentation... it always saddens me, especially being a Muslim, the very low opinion many Arab Muslims have of Africans, throughout history and still in the present day. You have an historical explaination for this unfortunate attitude that clearly contradicts the message of the Qur'an?
Even in the prophets time there was racism sadly
Al jahiz deserves a video
