The GREEK MUSLIM who gave up $100M FORTUNE to fight the SOVIETS in Afghanistan

- Carlos Mavroleon, born into a Greek shipping empire, had an upbringing steeped in affluence. Despite the privilege, a feeling of emptiness led him on an extraordinary journey.
At 16, he left his luxurious life, traveling extensively and immersing himself in the Pashtun tribe's culture in Pakistan.
When he came back, he pursued education at Harvard University and built a successful career as a Wall Street broker.
However, the pull of the East was strong, and in 1985, he abandoned his prosperous life to join the Afghan Mujahedeen in their battle against the Soviets.
In Afghanistan, Carlos converted to Islam and adopted the name Karimullah. He rose through the Mujahedeen ranks, transitioning from political work to active combat and eventually commanding a 12-man unit.
Once the Soviets withdrew, he started working as a war correspondent. He then traveled to various war-torn countries, documenting the struggles and becoming a legend among war correspondents.
His life abruptly ended in 1998 in a hotel room under mysterious circumstances.
Carlos Mavroleon's life, from an heir of a multimillion-dollar fortune to a Mujahedeen commander, is a tale of sacrifice and transformation.

Masha Allah. I am also a Greek revert into Islam. I couldnt believe this story for I myself was traveling through Pakistan and the Gilgit area in 1984 but not to fight instead doing soul searching and at times joining certain tableegh jamaats. Some of the best memories of my life.
MashAllah, As a Turkish, Im glad to see muslim Greek brothers such as Carlos, you and Cat Stevens.
...please, NO, not tableeghi Jamaat . They are misfits of society .
May Allah protect you but I advise against such jamaats they’re full of shirk and biddah!

This should made into a movie. What an amazing true story
movies haram, thats why i love this guy's documentaries, no music, no too much non hijabis..., time saved too!
they only make movies on afghan traitors \ interpreters lol .. its a dark mega machine we are dealing with
@@Dost so the movie "the message" is haram?
They make theire own movies like star wars , 9eleven, terminator, pearl harbour and so on.. but this is the truth inshaAllah
@@HassanAliLondon😂😂😂😂😂😂
There is a hadith in which the prophet ( Saas ) describes a man who goes out for jihad for the sake of Allah with all his wealth and his soul and he never returns with either of them. His deed is unparallel to any other deed. I hope Carlos was one of those people. Amen
Right. Aamiin yaa rabbal aalamiin
AMEEN

Fun fact: Carlos wearing beard looks more like a Pashtun than any foreigner. There is an interesting aspect to this fact. Historically speaking, the areas surroundeding modern day Central Asia, Afghanistan & Pakistan particularly the Pahstun belt was part of Greco-Bactrian & Indo-Greek kingdoms which were formed post Alexander's conquests. Many of those Greek populace gradually assimilated into the local culture. That's why there many different shades of Pashtuns from East to West, from looking Iranic to looking Greek to looking Indian.
True. But even before that, there is the Indo-Iranian-European connection as evident through the similarity of Indo-European languages as well as genetic studies.
@@BinuJasim Agree but the more recent the migration of an ethnic group is, the lasting will be its impact on genetics like that of ancient Iranian farmers & hunter gatherers with the more recent one.
The Kalash people now residing in Pakistan & Afghanistan are literally the descendants of Alexander's army&the Bactrian women. If Hollywood wanted to produce Cleopatra movie they should cast actors from Kalash people to play Cleopatra & her Ptolemaic family.
In the Oera Linda Book, which is probably the oldest Dutch book in existence is the history of settlement up the Indus River before the time of Alexander the Great. It records there was some trouble on the east side so all the people moved to the western side. When Alexander the Great did arrive in that area he used their ships to transport his army. I believe the people of Nuristan (in Afghanistan) and Dir (across the border in Pakistan) are their descendents. I have also seen 'Viking style' graves in this area of Pakistan which look very out of place.
I'm Greek as well... nearly everyone says the same about me.
I met Carlos briefly when he was at Harvard College. He told me he had lived in Pakistan and spoke Pushto. He set up a business with a partner while at Harvard called Nemeto Blast. The partner was Jay Itzkowitz.
He later dated Fawn Hall, who was a secretary to Oliver North.
I never met him after he left Harvard but read about his passing many years later.
Ma Sha Allah as always fantastic story. May Allah grant Carlos janatul Firdaus🤲

Thanks bro, new subscriber here
Fascinating, as a 40yo English man of Bengali origin, I'm surprised I've never heard of him!
May Allah have Mercy on Carlos/Karimullah, what a man. I can understand why the 'West' do not want to promote him, Rich, Brave, smart, handsome, well connected and a practicing Muslim.
Are you half English, half Bengali?
"English man of bengali origin" paradoxical statement. I think you mean british, you can never be english you shîțsķin
What an exciting story. Need to make a novel.
Another amazing story.
Such an underrated channel, I'm sure it will continue to grow and grow inshallah.
Insha Allah! Thank you brother 🙏
@@OmaroftheOrient assalamu alaikum brother ma sha allah this video and many videos that you make are awesome how is it possible to get in contact with you?
@@OmaroftheOrient
Akhi, you need to check your comments section, there is a troll pretending to be you trying to scam people.
What a man! 🙏
Masha Allah this boost our emaan...
Wow great information, May almighty Allah bless him
Love the video. One thing needs amending though. The map showing him going from peshawar to miran shah is wrong. Miran shah is south West of peshawar, whereas your map seems to show him heading south east.
Salam omar I just started watching your videos and there are really great please I want you to make a video about kurdistan, it's got lots of history 😊 ❤️☀️💚
May Allah SWT forgive Brother Carlos and grant him Jannah
His tales reminds me of the companion, Mush'ab ibn Umair, who leaves luxury and chose Islam.
MashAllah, what a great man be was, may Allah has Mercy on him and grant him jannat ul firdos
What a glorious and fortunate man, may Allah swt bless him on the day of judgement benevolently. Ameen
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Brothers let's share to earn reward ...just speechless.
Amazing story. This guy was a muslim at heart. Muslims need to make a movie about his life.
MaashaaAllah what a great man!
Your CZcams is growing subhanallah
Alhumdullilah thumma Alhumdullilah
The brotherhood of Islam is more powerful than any other connection, we thank ALLAH SWT that we are Muslims.
MAS ShaAllah 💝 Life of a True MUSLIM 😮
Legend Karimullah!
Amazing story of this mujahid. May Allah bless his soul. And there is also the story of the Saudi scion of the business family whose personal wealth was around 300M $ and he also made his life in Afghanistan to liberate it from the Soviets and then fought the Americans. He is the one who can't be named.
Bin laden???
Osama
@@m.mozdemirno , yo momma!
lmao @@bigdaddy7729
"He is the one who can't be named." why not 👹👺
Small correction: Miran Shah is close to peshawar and on the western border not at the border with India.
ALLAHUAKBAR what a Man MAy Allah grant us such a big Life ameen
Great stuff, Just a correction of your video at 7:07 the animation shows the person going away from the Afghan / Pakistan boarder to India Pakistan border, it makes no sense.
Yea I accidentally showed the wrong location. My bad 😑
May Allah have mercy on our brother Carlos/Karimullah and forgive for his shortcomings. Anyone who says the shahadah, he has hope to one day enter the garden! Fatiha!
MASHALLAH MAY ALLAH AZZAWAJAL BLESS HIM IN THIS DUNYA AND AKHRIA. WHEN YOU FIGHT IN THE WAY OF ALLAH AZZAWAJAL ALLAH ALMIGHTY WILL ALWAYS BLESS AND PROTECT YOU! LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL A MAN LOOKS WITH A BEARD. THAT IS THE NATURAL STATE OF A MAN !
Ma Shaa Allah .
MashaAllah! Wow!!
What a story and what a brave intelligent man a good dedicated Muslim.
Bro makes a video on Abdul Sattar Edhi ❤❤❤
Amazing story by a amazing orater
Young man. Also research Tipu Sultan, the last Muslim ruler of Mysore, India, who fought the invading British to the bitter end.
Wow what a story, Mashallah
Al Fateehah
Inna lilLAHi wa inna iLAihi rajioon.
May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'Ala Grant our brother Kareem ❤ and soldiers ❤ of Islam and the Ummah Jannahtul Firdhaos A'la.

What an absolute MAN. Wow.
MashaAllah may Allah bless the mujahid Carlos, enter in jannah. Aameen
Excellent person, mujahed.
7:09 Bro just a correction: Miran Shah is located on western part of Pakistan bordering Afghanistan in Waziristan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.
Yea that was my mistake bad. Idk how I missed that 🥲
@@OmaroftheOrient No issues bro. Stay blessed. 😇
Mashallah bro, that was an amazing video.
Are you Muslim ?
May Allah grant him good place in Jannah.
Amin ya rabbal alamin
should make movie on this story
this is what they say living life to the full۔ a legend
Long Live Afghanistan!!!
No
amen afghanistan zindabad
may Allah granted him Jenatul Firdaus 🙌
Allah swt accept this brother, elevate his status in Jannah & forgive us all of our short comings. ameen x
May his soul rest in peace.
Pls tell the story of Eduardo Anelli the son of the richest Italian family who converted to Shia Islam and had very similar stories as Carlos
did you get the map wrong at 7:14? miran shah is south east of peshawar near afghanistan, not directly south and west near india.
Yea, it was a mistake. Wrong Miran Shah 😑
May Allah swt blesses him in Here & the HereAfter & please him among the Al Abrar & enter him into Paradise. Aameen🎉
May Allah SWT grant Carlos Jannat ul firdous without any reckoning, without any hardship, and any accountability, Allahumma Aameen
Hi! What is the source of stories?
This story came from a series of news articles written by his co-journalists after his death. Other stories come from various books/articles.
Masha Allah
Lmao he looks like a typical Pashtun
May Allah grant him jannah
Subhanallah!
Just one correction, Miran Shah is not towards the border of India.
Following the footsteps of Musab Bin umayer RA
من يخرج من الكفر والضياع
ليعرف الله الخالق بحق
ويحياء حياة مثيره و بعزة المسلم
لا يموت هكذا . نعرف من يموت بالمخدرات ليس بطلنا . اللهم ارحمه وتقبله من الشهداء
Bro can you talk about Jalaluddin khwarazm shah
maash-AL-LAAH
Subhanallah
May Allah (SWT) accept Carlos amongst the Shohada.

May Allah forgive Carlos trespasses and grant him paradise ameen
