  1. The field commander of the Islamic army that conquered Egypt is named Mubarrah bin Shihab Al-Yafei, and I belong to the same tribe. We are proud of the heroism and glories of our early fathers, the conquerors, and are determined, with God’s power and strength, to restore our ancient glory.

  2. Impressionante. Romanos e persas estavam a séculos tentando derrotar um ao outro. Nenhum conseguiu vencer o outro de forma definitiva. Os arabes em pouco tempo derrotam persas e romanos

  3. تمنيت لو انكم لم تضعوا صوره شخصيه للخليفة عمر ابن الخطاب لان وصفه الثابت عندنا لا يشبه الصورة المرفقة و لأنه شخصيه اسلاميه مقدسه نحن نكتفي بوضع اسمه بالخط العربي المزخرف نفس هذا الكلام كنا نوجهه للقنوات العربية ولكن للاسف لا احد يحترم ديننا وخاصة قنوات العرب !

  4. This channel is biased and get things false lol 😂 probably a white boomer behind it , Egyptian copts where literally tortured for hundreds of years and slaughtered and religiously prosecuted by the Romans we gave them their churches back we brought their exiled patriarch back to rule their church jizya is a tax for military exemption and poor people were exempted from paying it while Muslim paid zakat which is much higher, Egypt now still has 20 million Coptic Christians thanks to islam tolerance while spain which had Muslims for 800 years has now zero Muslim Spaniard families thanks to the Spanish inquisitions and forcfull conversion by Isabella and Ferdinand Muslims and jews who got slaughtered and expelled for their religion in spain would have wished for a jizya option

  5. I'm a subcriber of your channel, ,,, sorry,,,,, Muhammad (SA) is the most important man in history but you are addressing him "a man known as prophet Muhammad". This is shameful.

  6. Sayyidina Abu Bakr did not go to Yarmouk, raḍiAllahu an, he was in control of the Khilaafah's affairs in Medina, giving out orders, however, syedna Zayd ibn Haritha, whom the holy prophet Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ prepared for an invasion of Syria, and syedna Khalid ibn Walid were the commanders, for the Syrian campaign, along with others, raḍiAllahu anhum ajmaiin

  7. After the Romans had lost & everyone thought it was the point of no return, then this was revealed by Allah to Muhammad peace be upom him:

    I Seek Refuge In Allah from satan the Outcast
    In the Name of Allah the Most Beneficent the Most Merciful

    {Alif-Lãm-Mĩm.} (1)

    {The Romans have been defeated} (2)

    {in the lowest part of the land. Yet following their defeat, they will triumph} (3)

    {within three to nine years. The ˹whole˺ matter rests with Allah before and after ˹victory˺. And on that day the believers will rejoice} (4)

    {at the victory willed by Allah. He gives victory to whoever He wills. For He is the Almighty, Most Merciful.} (5)

    {˹This is˺ the promise of Allah. ˹And˺ Allah never fails in His promise. But most people do not know.} (6)

    | Surat Arrum

    Eight years later, the Romans won a decisive battle against the Persians, reportedly on the same day the Muslims vanquished the Meccan army at the Battle of Badr & the believers rejoiced.

  8. Check ur sources..no sacking has happened and many subjects is Egypt welcomed muslim rule as romans were the worst to ever rule a land.. Stop faking history

  9. Thank you for the content provided on your channel and for your efforts. However, I would like to point out some areas that could benefit from further clarification and improvement:

    Representation of Historical Figures: The portrayal of Amr ibn al-As as the sole significant figure from the Arab military side seems to oversimplify the narrative. This representation disregards other notable generals involved, suggesting a gap in the account of historical events.

    Historical Context and Social Dynamics: The video overlooks crucial aspects such as the division between Egypt's ruling class and the common people, along with the impact of sectarian persecution. These elements are pivotal in understanding the socio-political landscape of the period.

    Factual Accuracy: The increase in taxes on the populace is mentioned without adequate sourcing. Additionally, the claim about Amr ibn al-As leaving his governorship during Omar’s reign requires verification to ensure historical accuracy.

    Source Selection: The sources used appear to be insufficient and potentially biased. For a more balanced and comprehensive view, it would be beneficial to consult a wider range of scholarly sources.

    I appreciate the effort put into creating this video and your willingness to receive feedback. I hope these points will help enhance the quality and accuracy of future content. Thank you for considering this constructive criticism.

  10. In less than 50 years the prophet's companions conquered the two biggest empires at the time ( Persian and roman ) + north Africa and parts of India and China

  11. Khalid bin al-Waleed (may Allah be pleased with him) was a shining star, no doubt, and was given the title “the Unsheathed Sword of Allah” by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself. Yet out of all great military commanders whom Allah raised up from among the first generations of Muslims, as an Egyptian myself, my heart will always be partial to ‘Amr bin al-‘Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), the man who commanded the Muslim army that opened Egypt to Islam, and liberated my country from the despised Greco-Roman yoke. Furthermore, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself on more than one occasion testified to the goodness and genuine faith of ‘Amr bin al-‘Aas, with perhaps the most sublime testimony being when the Prophet ﷺ said of ‘Amr’s Islam:

    “The people submitted, and ‘Amr believed.”

    (“أسلمت الناس و آمن عمرو .”)

    How, then, can we Egyptians not have a special place in our hearts for that man? We will always be indebted to ‘Amr bin al-‘Aas, may Allah be pleased with him and with all of our Righteous Predecessors, and all who follow them in goodness, until Judgement Day. O Allah, count us among their followers, and unite us with them in Paradise! Allahumma Ameen! (O Allah, Amen!)
