The rise and fall of the medieval Islamic Empire – Petra Sijpesteijn & Birte Kristiansen
Trace the rise and fall of the Islamic Empire, from the prophet Muhammad in the 7th century to the sacking of Baghdad.
—
In the 7th century CE, the prophet Muhammad united the people of the Arabian Peninsula through the formation of Islam. Over the next 30 years, caliphs conquered vast areas beyond Arabia, including their mighty neighbors…

But this wasn’t the end of mighty empires ruling the region! In the late 13th century came the Ottoman Empire — one of the longest-lasting dynasties in world history. What enabled its rise to power? Check our our video on the early days of the Ottomans to find out: https://bit.ly/TEDEdOttoman
Our prophet prophesied it will be abolished, and prophesied it would return. We’re waiting for that return.
Doesn't this video undermine the ruthless effectiveness of the Mongolian warmachine, putting too much emphasis on the infighting? More stable polities still succumbed to the Mongols, while skilled commanders resisted for a while (shout out to Jalal al-Din Mangburni defeating the myth of their invincibility) or even hostile terrain plus ferocious locals (europe to some extent, and Japan).
Thank you thank you so much… for covering the topic plus respecting our belief to not depicting Muhammad PBUH face
"one of a kind leader" Yeah okay, propagandist channel.
Islam ruined the Islamic empire.
Easy answer: radical extremist religion.
We will be delighted if you prepare a video about ottoman empire
How about the andulusian islamic state
It was Roman Empire still there, not the B-word. It was an uninterrupted continuation of Roman statehood from the 8th century BC to the 15th century AD.
Byzantium is propaganda word, which was first used (in this sense) by the Western European historian in the mid-16th century – 100 years after the Ottomans conquered Constantinople (New Rome).
Worship and means العبادة والوسيلة
(There is no god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God)
لا إله إلا الله، محمد رسول الله
means that none is worshiped except God, and none is worshiped except by what He wanted, legislated, and approved of means, methods, and steps.
(O you who have believed, fear God and seek the means to Him….)
( يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱبۡتَغُوۤا۟ إِلَیۡهِ ٱلۡوَسِیلَةَ …. )
Surah Al-Ma’idah, verse 35
The method must be lawful and came from the Messenger of God with authentic hadiths and was taught by the three best centuries, the Companions, the Successors, and the Followers of the Successors of their .
Don't bother about kingdoms they have more countries now through innumerable believers voting for shariyat!! Wait until Europe falls.
Religion of Peace moment
Change the world order for good?? 🤨
❤❤❤❤
Watching this makes it clear now tht the arabs were failed from the start
moral of this video is that We are mortal…
i just want to put this out there in terms of ruling for Caliph there is no succession in Islam. The new leader is supposed to be chosen by election in which the members of the court vote. The first 4 caliphs were chosen this way after assassination of Hazrat Ali , this succession among family started among the Muslim after the the first 4 caliphs. Which is completely wrong as again in Islam the Caliph is supposed to be chosen by Election.
I take comfort in the fact that Christianity has united in the past to fend off Muslim attacks on the west.
Islam is aggressively expanding right now but I believe soon, Christians all over the world will unite once again and defend western civilization from Islam
i truly appreciate this. ted-ed is one of the best source for me to learn. i love history especially about islamic or empires or europeans.
Islam is a colonial power. It is barbaric, misogynistic, anti LGBT, and anti human rights. I know it because as a Muslim born whose nation was colonized for 400 years by Arabian invaders, I did study history
Islam spread all over the world and destroyed other religions, they go and go until they Sanatan Dharma warrior
Sanatan Forever 💕
These people seemed pretty chill before the whole 9/11 thing.
600 th

Funny how greatest Islamic philosophers are persecuted by the Islamic rule itself.
It was an age where people try to moved beyond its 7th century teaching. But nevertheless now fell back into the past because of that 7th century teaching.
should heve depicted mohammeds face we are not living in an islamic country and have therefore the right to depict icons the way we want
Watching this for ap world 😊
So happy it collapsed. The anti-christ shouldn't rule the world
Imagine if the islamic empire is still active ? How will the Muslims' situation.
A real colonial empire!
He came and gone but world suffering from its radicalism.
no fricking way… someone pronouncing arabic words correctly… oh my god
GREAT VIDEO
Different view, Abbasids tried to bring different people from arts and so called science to make people forget Allah, world is created by this scientific phenomenon and creating conditions where people denounce Islam as a whole !
Many muslim dream of having this calyphate system in the modern time 😂 where they beheaded prophet grandson and toying his severed head
Have you studied the teachings of the Prophet of Islam and his humane, ethical doctrines? Have you ever received the message of Islam from any sources other than the media?
Have you ever asked yourself how and on the basis of which values has Islam established the greatest scientific and intellectual civilization of the world and raised the most distinguished scientists and intellectuals throughout several centuries?
I would like you not to allow the derogatory and offensive image-buildings to create an emotional gulf between you and the reality, taking away the possibility of an impartial judgment from you. Today, the communication media have removed the geographical borders. Hence, don’t allow them to besiege you within fabricated and mental borders.
Although no one can individually fill the created gaps, each one of you can construct a bridge of thought and fairness over the gaps to illuminate yourself and your surrounding environment. While this preplanned challenge between Islam and you, the youth, is undesirable, it can raise new questions in your curious and inquiring minds. Attempts to find answers to these questions will provide you with an appropriate opportunity to discover new truths.
Therefore, don’t miss the opportunity to gain proper, correct and unbiased understanding of Islam so that hopefully, due to your sense of responsibility toward the truth, future generations would write the history of this current interaction between Islam and the West with a clearer conscience and lesser resentment.
