    I think the problem with us Muslims is that we lost our identity and our true faith. We became too busy fighting each other.

    Damn brother. This is so good! Please keep the research and summarising going. We need more wise scholars again, summarising wisdom and making it available!
  • damn this is a very high quality video. i didnt realise this channel is so small
  • Wow! Thank you for so much information in so short a video. Your video puts everything in perspective.
  • Probably all of these reasons you mentioned combined, created the perfect storm that led to the collapse. You and I discussed the “past glory” syndrome before, which is a terrible shame. Looking forward to your next vid Tareq!! 👍🏻👍🏻

    Despite already knowing about Neil Degrasse Tyson's slander about Al-Ghazali, the clip still makes my blood boil. As always, good video brother.

    It has been said that the river in Iraq has turned to a black color from the ink of the massive amount of books that were thrown in, to the point they made a bridge of the books to cross over.

  • Superb!!!!! Of course, that is the standard for this man of literature and letters: A scholar, a gentleman, and a humble brother of the Universe.

    All the reasons did impact the Islamic golden Age. but al Ghazali ??! xD there is a lot misunderstanding about him, he was Genius and among top Philosophers all times.

    From what I understand, the West stopped using the Silk Road because the Middle East had made it too dangerous/not worth crossing anymore
