    BAKU - The core religious allegory of Islam starts with Muhammad’s revelations in the caves and ends with the death of the fourth successor Ali, almost forty years later. The allegory is analogous to the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ in Christianity. During Muhammad’s lifetime, his community gained control over the Arabian Peninsula. Though he passed away in 632, Islam’s story continued through his four closest followers: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali, who together formed the Rashidun, or Rightly Guided One’s. Together, they established the first Islamic state, the Caliphate.
    In just thirty years, the Rashidun Caliphate conquered all of Persia, Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Levant, and even parts of the Byzantine Empire in Anatolia. In some ways, this new state resembled a democracy. All four leaders were elected by council representatives. But the transition of power between these leaders was not straightforward.

    Thank you very much for making this. It was very helpful for a non-muslim such as myself to understand the details behind the Sunni-Shia dispute.

      Sunni Shiites conflict also occur when Ottoman Sunni fight Safavid Shiites. Also when Saladin a Sunni destroy and abolish Fatimmid Shiites.
      Also when Abbasid Revolt happens, at first Abbasid is ally themself with Shiites to fight Umayyad but then Abbasid choose Sunni as idealogy not Shiites

      @pawbard Před 9 lety +101

      Khadijah Brown The problem hasn't been resolved because of a lack of personal responsibility. Blaming Western colonialism, instead of overcoming the denial of Islamic imperialism, is the precise reason why Islam hasn't ever found internal peace.

      ***** I thought that the quarrel started with the argument over who would follow the prophet Muhammad PBUH? In Shia Kutbah, they are always ranting about the murder of Ali. The fact that they have not resolved this is not acceptable to me.

    Azerbaijan (where this channel is located) is a Shia majority country, so this video gives precedence towards Ali. He was extremely important and loved by the Prophet (PBUH), but Abu Bakr was well known to be Muhamed's (PBUH) best friend, right hand man, and the first man to accept Islam. Other than that, great video!

      ***** OK maybe in practice it's playing out as a power struggle for control of the muslims however the political player sin this game are only nominally sunni and shia, no one really believes their rhetoric,
      Behind the scenes however the Sunni and Shia is very much a religious issue NOT simply a succession row as is commonly believed. Why would people still be arguing after 14oo years about who should have been caliph.
      The major issue is that of Tawheed or monotheism. Sunnis view Allah as the ultimate Creator and Maintainer of the Universe. Shia believe (some groups of Shia) that their imams and Ali have control over all atoms and without them the universe would cease to be.
      These beliefs cannot be reconciled.

      Ali had sons name Abu Bakr, Uthman, Ali, Omar. Ali married his daughter to Omar. Ali's sons had sons named Uthman, Omar and Abu Bakr. Uthman named a son Ali.
      Does this sound like Ali hated the other Caliphs?
      Also the hadith you talk about when examined neutrally cant possibly apply to the shia imams. For a start none of them except Ali and Hasan were actually caliphs or rulers! How can they claim islam was prevailing under their caliphs' (as the hadith states) when 'shia' islam was at its lowest points during the lives of their so called '12 imams'? According to Shia all used taqiya to conceal their true belief and identities.
      Nothing in the hadith states the rulership should be hereditary or that they will be descendants of Ali or infallible.

    • @Housefrequence
      @Housefrequence Před 9 lety

      ***** Hadith, in the form that reached us, was compiled nearly three hundred years after the passing of the Prophet. And compiled by mere men, not some perfect beings exempt from error. How anyone can claim a hadith's authenticity is indisputable simply because it's a sahih is beyond me, especially given the many direct or implied contradictions found in these same sahih ahadith.

    • @Housefrequence
      @Housefrequence Před 9 lety +2

      ***** What surviving collection of hadith was compiled 3-10 years after the passing of Muhammad (pbuh)? He died in 632. Sahih al Bukhari was finished around 846, so I was off by a good century, it's 200 years, not 300. Sahih Muslim was written in the same period. None of the 6 major collections of hadith were compiled long after any contemporaries of the Prophet had passed.
      No matter how thoroughly you study what is basically chinese whispers, errors are bound to happen as evidenced by the contradictions in sahih ahadith that simply cannot be explained except by accepting that some of them are not authentic. As for the Quran, it was not transmitted only through oral traditions. While a great number of Muslims had memorised it by heart before the passing of the Prophet, it was also actually written down during his life time. However, its compilation in one book and the arrangement of the order of the chapters were done after his death.

    • @raulel4143
      @raulel4143 Před 9 lety +15

      Troublesome2008 The problem isn't political as much as it's religious. If you believe Ali was the rightful ruler of Islam and an Islamic issue needed a ruling, then the opinions of Abu Bakr and other Islamic leaders for example wouldn't matter. Originally the issues were political differences over the rightful leader of the Islamic state, but the Qur'aan isn't specific on all things and the hadeeth doesn't mention all things. Eventually the people need a ruling for difficult or vague issues. So as time progresses and you get further & further away from the starting point the religious differences become apparent with different rulings.
      Also there's a lot more to it than just "Shias". Not all Shias agree with each other. For example the largest Shia group are the Twelvers who believe there's 12 rightly guided Imams after Muhammad with the 12th Imam eventually returning to bring justice. The Ismailis on the other hand don't believe in the 12th leaders and think the succession has been continues since Ali with them now having the 54th descendant of Ali (it doesn't end with the 12th Imam, it keeps on going). There's also the Druze and Alawite (like the Assads in Syria).

    • @HojoOSanagi
      @HojoOSanagi Před 9 lety +12

      Troublesome2008 When the two sides independently develop histories that politicize and demonize each other, yeah it does lead to tension and conflict. Like when Shiites accuse Muhammad's wife and Abu Bakr's daughter Aisha of initiating the battle of Jamal by shooting down Ali's partisans, they change a character who is perceived as the mother of the faith by Sunnis and one of Muhammad's most loyal and pious wives into a she-demon and a filthy hypocrite who opposed the rightfully elected leader after Uthman's death, Ali, killing several Muslims when Ali called for peace within the Umma. Is she a saint protecting the true faith of her husband, or is she a politically driven fiend who twists the faith in her favour to keep the power in Medina with her affiliates? Some Shiite histories also say things like that Abu Bakr and his supporters killed the prophet to usurp power and threatened the prophet's family, Ali, Fatimah, and their children, to coerce Ali into accepting the evil Abu Bakr as leader. When your group vilifies and spreads what the other sees as lies and slander about their rightfully elected religious and political leaders, it can cause quite a bit of hatred and rage in response.

    • @TheGiantKiller8
      @TheGiantKiller8 Před 9 lety +6

      Troublesome2008 Big differecne between Sunni(85% majority) and Shia(15% sect from Iran) is that Shites deviated from Islam and believe their Ayatollahs and Imams to be Divine which is blasphemy according to Quran. Similar to Catholic Pope-Priest system are the shias. So Shites believe their imams to be divine which Sunnis find to be repulsive blashemy since no man is Divine only God is.
      While Majority of Muslims believe Leader has simply have great knowledge and be fit to lead and we use Quran and Hadith as sources while Shites use their imams to create silly laws like taqiya(deception)

    I have a major issue around 11 minutes. You say the Byzantines were planning to conquer Arabia, which is ludicrous. Heraclius was old and the Eastern Romans were exhausted from their great war with Persia in the previous few decades(even though they won). They had no interest, let alone ability, to do any such thing.
    Even when the romans were strong, they never showed interest in conquering Arabia(which had always been fragmented). The invasion from arabia was a complete surprise, and rocked the roman world.

    • @occasional_doomer
      @occasional_doomer Před 9 lety +14

      Burhan the Somali "The Romans showed interest in the Arabian peninsula two times. The first being an expedition ordered by Emperor Augustus and led by Aelius Gallus. Aelius Gallus took 10.000 soldiers from Egypt and was sent to either make peace treaties or subdue the Arabs, in order to have a direct trade with the Indians without the Somalis or Arabs to intervene."
      Which happened over 600 years before Islam. It does nothing to disprove my point. The romans typically didn't care much about Arabia, as their chief concern in that region was always the Persians.
      "The second time was in the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) when he sent an emmisary to the chief of the Ghassanid tribe to convert to Islam. The Ghassanid chief not only neglected to convert to Islam, he also murdered the Muslim emissary. The Prophet (pbuh) sent an army to avenge the emissary. This time the allies of the Ghassanids (the Romans) intervened and killed of the army. The Prophet (pbuh) then sent another army, however at this time the Prophet (pbuh) died. The rest of the story you know. (The Muslims elected new leaders who fought the Romans and the Persians)'
      Source? The Gassanids were not romans, and neither they nor romans tried to conquer Arabia, as you even admit.

    Ali himself never thought he was the rightful successor, however he didn't accord to the spontaneous nature of selecting the khalif and the omission of the majority of the sahaba (companions) opinions including himself, and he swore allegiance to Abu Bakr a few days later as mentioned .
    And regarding the reasons supporting Ali as a successor, they weren't his, but were the opinions of Shiites who came after many years of Ali's death.
    And the narrations about Abu Bakr threatening Ali and such are regarded as invalid by hadith scholars because of their unreliable sources and Narrators . and there is a very delicate science of analyzing and validating different historical narrations , just look up for Hadith studies . So a dispute like this can be solved if we search for the truth and rejected the lies or at least the dubious narrations .

      TheGiantKiller8 Shiites, as far as I've heard, only accuse those who are worthy of being accused. Indeed not every companion of the Prophet was pious. There were people who abused the Prophet and his Holy family and, who constantly cursed them. Are they worthy of being praised. Shiites only praise the companions who were worthy of being praised. Shias didn't fabricate hadiths, even if they did, they would be rejected if it goes agaisnt the Quran. Shia ahadith books are not labelled "Sahh" because they believe the only Sahih is the Quran but Sunnis have 2 Sahihain books in which they accept every hadith in it most of which WERE fabricated by the early Abbasid, and Ummayad Caliphate. In these books, Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, we find the most viscous and outrageous hadith like the visibility of Allah,
      ‘Sahih Bukhari’ (Vol. I, in the Chapter “Fazla's-Sujud Min Kitabu'l-Adhan”, page 100; Vol. IV, p.92 of ‘Sahih Muslim’, "Babu's-Sira Min Kitabu'r-Riqaq", and ‘Sahih Muslim’ (Vol. I, in the Chapter "Isbatu'l-Ruyatu'l-Mu'minin Rabbahum Fi'l-Akhira," page 86); and ‘Musnad’ of Imam Hanbal, Volume II, page 275

      Tabari quotes from Muhammad Bin Sa'ad Bin Abi Waqqas:
      I asked my father whether Abu Bakr was the first of the Muslims. He said, 'No, more than fifty people embraced Islam before Abu Bakr; but he was superior to us as a Muslim. And Umar ibn Khattab had embraced Islam after forty-five men and twenty-one women. As for the foremost one in the matter of Islam and faith, it was Ali ibn Abi Talib.'

    • @TRYCLOPS1
      @TRYCLOPS1 Před 9 lety +2

      ThePentaT From my understanding, the drop in oil prices was affected by 3 things: 1. Winter - Oil prices usually drop during winter, because people go out less due to cold weather, etc. Expect prices to go back up as demand starts increasing during Spring and Summer. Now you can see that prices are going back up slowly until they probably reach a new high this summer. 2. Overproduction - This was mainly caused by the Saudis, which started to increase production earlier last year, and that led to markets being oversupplied. This was done without considering the oil prices drop, so they probably took a hit, as well as other producers. They did this considering the situation in Ukraine with Russia. As Europe is planning to become less dependent on Russian oil, the Saudis had to increase production to be able to supply Europe. However, Europe is pretty bad economically so... And 3. US fracking industry... The US fracking industry is a totally unprecedented phenomenon that's now blooming. This will exponentially cut costs of US electric energy; which won't need as much oil to produce; making the US independent in energy within the next 10 years or less. The US will still keep buying oil from the Middle East, but just to supplement the energy base. The sanctions lifting on Iran will not change prices much, since they don't have the best quality. The US however, is now producing the best quality crude ever produced in history. Renewable energy doesn't make a big difference, but it is going to slowly influence in the US becoming completely energy independent.
      That's the best I got at this point.

      Mauro Augusto Mexia I am an American Strategy Watcher, my take is America has colluded with the Saudi's to flood the oil market for two reasons 1. To damage the Russian economy over the Crimea, Ukraine actions 2. Place other Middle East oil producing nations on notice that their revenues can be greatly affected by not following America's policy's.America is changing the entire world oil market power structure with fracking and the Middle East will soon become irrelevant to western country's. " Hear me out" American fracked oil is produced for $25.per barrel, Russian oil is produced for $55. per barrel, so America can sell a barrel of oil for 100% profit at the price Russia produces oil for. America in the future will not export their oil, they will export the fracking technology and equipment to Western and European country's. This will end the monopoly of Middle East oil over Europe and the entire West.As I write this America is about to flood the world market with Liquefied Natural Gas, this will brake the back of the Russian economy. In reality the Middle East as been flooded with weapons for over thirty years by Russia to disrupt Middle East oil and drive up Russian oil and gas prices to Europe, millions have died because of this Russian strategy. The Middle East may hate these fact's, and the Middle East may deny them, but they are the facts of the future. The only way the Middle East will survive at all will be to cut off all the Arms and Ammunition being brought in from Russian Proxy's " Russians own's those factory's in other country's" Russia will destroy the Middle East to supply the Chinese with all their oil.

    • @ebparsa
      @ebparsa Před 9 lety

      Roha Waha You made many fundamental mistakes. I will try to tackle a few:
      - America doesn't need to put any nation in the Middle East on notice as they are already in bed with the Saudis and the Saudis do whatever Uncle Sam wants to. This became clear when Saudi-Arabia refused to cut down its production causing the collapse of oil prices, which in essence is exactly what the US wanted. An act that is in fact against their own national interests.
      We also witnessed how independent nations such as Iran and Venezuela failed to convince the Saudis to curtail their production.
      - Middle East was already irrelevant as far as the oil prices are concerned. It is a misconception to think the oil prices are set by OPEC. The reality is: oil prices are set in London and New York
      - I seriously doubt there is any truth to what you claim as far as the cost price is concerned. I work in the Oil and Gas industry and I can tell you there is no way oil produced by fracking could cost less than a traditional way of extracting. No way... Furthermore, there is evidence that the number of drilling licenses in the US have plummeted tremendously in the past few months, which is a clear indication that United States is probably hit worse than Russia is.
      - I also doubt United States would flood the market with gas as fewer wells are being drilled. Furthermore, the gas prices in North America are the cheapest in the world. So, it is probably wise to hold off producing any more gas in the States. That is also why Canada is developing a huge gas terminal in Vancouver to export its gas to China where prices are more favourable.
      - Russia's export of weapons are neglectable compared to Billions of Dollars that the US sold to the Persian Gulf Arabs with which they are bombing Yemenis day in day out. Some of these weapons are also smuggled to be delivered to groups such as ISIS (Mind you ISIS is the bastard child of S-Arabia, Turkey and the US).
      In fact, it is the American weapons that are killing more than anything else whether it is in the hands of the Israeli or the Saudis.
      - In fact, the only way the Middle East will survive is by flushing American ships out of the Persian Gulf, which has been the source of all the tension in the region. It wasn't Russia that created the chaos we see in Syria, Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan. It was the US and its blood-thirsty allies that have ruined the region.

      4 : you are coming from a very ignorant or what so called "useful idoit POV" of attacking the messenger but not the message, if you would asked for origin of islam and what is is message insteed going for it's last messenger.
      5 : there is no punishment by stoning in islamic sharia , and those who are saying they have has no authintic authority to it not from quraan or even any hadith.

According to profit Muhammad Ali was trained by him from childhood, and he told I am City of knowledge and Ali Gate to that Knowledge, it was different than Abubakar the Fabric seller or Umar the Goat shepherd, that is the reason today with a population near two billion Muslim we have to run away from an Islamic country to Nonislamic country, because at the beginning of Islam after profit they disobey the command of Allah and his profit.

      In islam, Khalif herritage, is not bestowed through familie Lineage. This was the Problem the Prophet Muhammad PBuH had with the Quraish. They would keep the power within the familie. So your argument brother, is not valid here. Moreover it was well known, that Abu Bakr was the best. Umar once said to Prophet Muhammad, I have sacrificed half of my wealth in name of Allah. The Prophet said, Abu Bakr gave all he had in the Name of Islam. It was also narrated that the companions used to talked about Abu Bakr in terms that he is the Best after Prophet Muhammad pbuh, Prophet Muhammad was sitting right next to them and was silent. Wenn the Prophet would hear something with was untrue, he would intervene, but he never did. So he always accepted the fact. Also there is a Hadith in Muslim, that Prophet Muhammad said. iF there would be another Prophet, it would be Umar. So The Prophets best Friends and Companions where Abu Bakr and Umar. The People at the time knew Abu Bakr, and voted. So I do not understand the fact that people speak of mistreatment of Ali peace and blessings upon him. We should educate ourselves in the lives of the companions so that we do not make such grave statements.

The Sahaba and Ali himself where happy with it. Why are we making fitna and causing disunity among muslims because WE disagree with THEIR decision. Their wisdom and Taqwa was unmatched. Non of the companions wanted to be khalif, non of them wanted this responsibility. This is not like todays world, where people would do anything for a good position. When we study Hadith and their lives, we can never say they where after to be the leader, although al of them had leader character. Our beloved prophet never mentioned a successor, as we know, in Islam successor is not in the family heritage so it could be one of many. It does not matter who would become khalif, because Allah promised the muslims Rum and Fars. Und Umar Ibn Al khattab and Muawiyah the Muslims where the most successful, should I now say, they where better than Abu Bakr and Ali ? No. Because Allah Promised he would help the muslims.

    Where Hadith Says Bible is corrupted :

    The Hadith (sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad in Islam) as well point out to Biblical Corruption. Consider these hadith:

    Narrated Abu Huraira: The people of the Scripture (Jews) used to recite the Torah in Hebrew and they used to explain it in Arabic to the Muslims. On that Allah's Apostle said, "Do not believe the people of the Scripture or disbelieve them, but say:-- "We believe in Allah and what is revealed to us." (2.136) (Bukhari Volume 6, Book 60, Number 12)

    Narrated Ubaidullah: Ibn 'Abbas said, "Why do you ask the people of the scripture about anything while your Book (Quran) which has been revealed to Allah's Apostle is newer and the latest? You read it pure, undistorted and unchanged, and Allah has told you that the people of the scripture (Jews and Christians) changed their scripture and distorted it, and wrote the scripture with their own hands and said, 'It is from Allah,' to sell it for a little gain. Does not the knowledge which has come to you prevent you from asking them about anything? No, by Allah, we have never seen any man from them asking you regarding what has been revealed to you!" (Bukhari Volume 9, Book 92, Number 461)

    Narrated 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah: 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas said, "O the group of Muslims! How can you ask the people of the Scriptures about anything while your Book which Allah has revealed to your Prophet contains the most recent news from Allah and is pure and not distorted? Allah has told you that the people of the Scriptures have changed some of Allah's Books and distorted it and wrote something with their own hands and said, 'This is from Allah, so as to have a minor gain for it. Won't the knowledge that has come to you stop you from asking them? No, by Allah, we have never seen a man from them asking you about that (the Book Al-Qur'an ) which has been revealed to you. (Bukhari Volume 9, Book 93, Number 614)

    What Scholars of Bible says :

    The gospels are not eyewitness accounts

    -Allen D. Callahan, Associate Professor of New Testament, Harvard Divinity School

    Some scholars say so many revisions occurred in the 100 years following Jesus' death that no one can be absolutely sure of the accuracy or authenticity of the Gospels, especially of the words the authors attributed to Jesus himself.
    -Jeffery L. Sheler, [2]

    and WHAT MORE BIBLE ITSELF SPEAK ABOUT CORRUPTION :
    " 'How can you say, "We are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely? (Jeremiah 8:8 New International Version)

    Which Part of Bible is corrupted :
    Anypart which says:[my personal view]
    GOD have Son.
    God turned in to man.
    God sent his son to die for us.
    Salvation by Jesus Blood.
    Every things which makes a human Equal to God.

    Verse 4:136 of the Holy Quran:
    "O you who have believed, believe in Allah and His Messenger and the Book that He sent down upon His Messenger and the Scripture which He sent down before. And whoever disbelieves in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, and the Last Day has certainly gone far astray."

    After this they may Ask ,if Bible is corrupted then Why Quran says "Ask People of Book" :
    so read this note for the answer :
    Why Quran says "Ask People of Book"
    Abrogation in Bible
    Who Corrupted the Gospel
    Quran Verse Eaten By God ?

      So muslims give alot to charity, and...? Anyways those stats could be exaggerated. Muslim civilization speaks for itself. Once muslims had full control of their lands, gradual decline was already underway. Even today the rich countries of the gulf aren't places that attract anyone for reasons other than getting a good share of that oil money. Also within the gulf states there are declining birth rates and an inability to embrace and evolve technology, arabs need lots of labourers to compensate for the work they are too proud to do.
      In the new testament it talks about pointing out the spec in the eye of your neighbour while ignoring the plank within your own. Christianity has nothing to prove, we don't need to cite statistics, plenty of muslims are fleeing their lands for those of the Christians. Doesn't that speak for itself? islam has been around for over 1000 years, and it is a very political religion, so why hasn't allah's will been done and a truly global caliphate been created? Why has Christianity touched and left it's mark on every continent while the only way muslims exist in the americas and oceania is through the mercy of christians?

      عبدالله .الشمري Abu bakr was actually the 40th-50th muslim, both Zayd and Bilal were muslim before him because he was out of town by the first revelation. There is not a single hadith that ever associates Abu Bakr as being first anything other than thefirst caliph.
      Tabari quotes from Muhammad Bin Sa'ad Bin Abi Waqqas:
      I asked my father whether Abu Bakr was the first of the Muslims. He said, 'No, more than fifty people embraced Islam before Abu Bakr; but he was superior to us as a Muslim. And Umar ibn Khattab had embraced Islam after forty-five men and twenty-one women. As for the foremost one in the matter of Islam and faith, it was Ali ibn Abi Talib.'
      Also I don't think you understand the meaning of male, just because you're a kid doesn't mean you are not male. This sunni and shia bullshit of distorting facts really makes your side look insecure.

      Abu Abu It is when the Holy Prophet first revealed himself as a Prophet in public.
      This is when the verse came, "And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred. (26:214).
      He gathered Bani Hashim in the house of Abu Talib. He told them who he is, and then asked who will help him for which the reward is being his vicegerent. That is when a 10 year old Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib stood up, just like he would later stand up during Khandaq when the Prophet asked the people who will shut the dog's (Amr ibn Abd Wud's) mouth.
      The rest of Bani Hashim laughed at him, at Ali ibn Abu Talib, and at Abu Talib ibn Muttalib.

    Abu baker was the first adult male to enter islam and protected the prophit throughout his life and was much wiser than ali, since you're a shiee i can get why you even mentioned the ali part, islam is about unity not blood relation

      ***** it doesn't specifically refer to ali (the verses you quoted).
      The verse referring to abu bakr is 9:40 this is when the prophet (s.a.w) left makkah with abu bakr and they entered the cave.
      48:18 refers to a large group of the sahabas including ali saying that Allah is pleased with them.
      9:100 is another reference praising the migrants from makkah again Allah being pleased and promising them Jannah.
      You also made a reference of the prophets daughter.......Ruqayyah married Uthman, Umm kulthum was also married to Uthman.
      The prophet married the daughter of Abu bakr (Aisha), the daughter of Umar (Hafsa).
      Ali also named 3 of his sons (Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman) I mean if this is not praise enough for you then you are in straight denial

      Abu Bakr was also the first person who began campaign to spread Islam by power of sword, he might have been a better politician than Ali, but he changed the ways of Islam and might be one of the reason why Middle East is in chaos now!

      KingExituS The prophet was the one who sent an expedition to attack the romans after their ally (Ghassanids) attacked the muslims and abu bakr took charge of it after his death. The prophet (s.a.w) also ordered the attack on mussailima in najd and abu bakr finished it, etc. Do you not know the history of Islam??

      KizaruD The invasion of neighbouring states have not much to do with battle of Mutah, Muhammad never began a war, the first two Caliphs did, their main purpose was to expand their Empire, Abu Bakr used the opportunity of long wars between Persians and Romans, and began to invade weakly protected Persian territories in Mesopotamia.
      I know more than history of Islam, unlike you probably, so i can notice the resemblance with the similar situations in history done by others to expand their territories!
