THREE CENTURIES OF LOST ARAB HISTORY – How Much Do You Know?

Very enjoyable and informative ! Will definitely be on the lookout for next episodes and will binge watch earlier ones.

As always enjoyable and enlightening.

I got to learn something new, Alhamduillah good work 👍 I would love to see you dive into Islam in the east. From its influence in China to that of the islands of Indonesia

Love this type of content, keep it up!

Great as always 👍

Thank you for being a professional who is finally shedding a beautiful light on Arab and Muslim history. Your work is greatly appreciated, and I would welcome your continued efforts in this regard.

❤ Thank you 😊

Ottomans did not attempt to turkify arabs until 1911 and before then you could say that turks themselves got arabised taking many arab loannwords into the languange

Love your channel. You deserve much higher subscriber counts.

I blame us Arabs for our decimated legacy. Instead of celebrating our differences, we weaponized it. Each ethnicity sees themselves superior to the other. No Syrian is better than Moroccan and no Saudi is better than an Egyptian.

مشكور اخوي ❤

Thank you so much for mentioning Muhammad Al-Rudan ✨ Everyone else is important too, but astronomers are my favourite peoples.😺

"history is written by the victors"

Not to mention the autonomy that many Arab tribes enjoyed during some phases of that period of Ottoman rule, as many would go on to form Emirates and small kingdoms, have courts, impose various judicial systems, collect taxes, promote trade, build, form alliances, and fight against the Ottomans when needed.

Your video raises a great point! While it focuses on the Ottoman Empire, the same principle applies to Arab empires, particularly the Abbasids. They embraced the talents of people from diverse ethnicities, most notably Persians who made significant contributions to poetry, astronomy, philosophy, and mathematics. These contributions ultimately enriched Arab culture and prestige. This historical example shows why religious identity, which is more unifying, is more important than ethnic identity. You can still be proud of your ethnicity and culture but it must never be placed above Islam.

Wow this video is absolutely packed with info that certainly cannot be absorbed in one viewing- with exception of your whole point made. It makes me want to learn more and that is excellent! Thanks!

Even the Mamalukes, the Ayyubids in Egypt and the Zengids in Syria weren't Arabs.

Ive heard about "the Gunpowder Empires" of the 16th century and thats about it. Everything gets skipped over except Ottomans vs Safavids.

Jazak allah khair for this video! Can you please make a video about how not all arabs are bedouin and live in tents! Like that most arabs are actually (حضر) like settlers and not nomads. You can take saudi as an example like Najd region and how it is made up of cities and towns with really educated people and political and economical struggle. I myself from the region of Alqassim and proud to say that my great grandmother reads and writes and used to teach quran and Arabic lit. Likewise for Aldiryah and the first saudi state which was made upon uniting small towns and cities into one state under one Emir. These towns still exist today with the old houses and streets and even farms. Thank you 💚💚💚

Man i really do appreciate your enthusiasm and focus on our legacy and often forgotten parts of our history in a time that this is a fading field of concern , i respect that you excel in what you do even though you know that this will not bring many reviews and the recognition it deserves . do you feel like me sometimes that you were born in the wrong century hhhh ! regarding this topic , i do believe that the ottoman occupation had a disastrous impact on our scientific , cultural and social development in a crucial timeline where everyone else was making swift progress . Thank you
