*A significant piece of detail here:* Umar, the ruler of the Muslim Empire, traveled to Jerusalem, not with a royal entourage of servants and guards, but with a _single servant_ and _one riding camel_ . During the journey, Umar and his servant took *alternating turns* ; riding the camel and *walking* . Umar wore simple, coarse clothes; *none* could have distinguished between the *ruler* and the *servant* .
As he approached Jerusalem, it so happened that the servant was on the camel and the Caliph was walking alongside. The servant had pleaded with Umar to ride instead, but he refused. Someone had earlier advised Umar ibn Al-Khattab to wear luxurious robes befitting of a Caliph entering Jerusalem, his replay was "we derive our strength and status from our faith in Islam, and not from any dress."

Words can not describe how great this documentary is. I was really amazed how you could combine all these battles and events in an interesting way and a perfectly accurate chronological order, putting in mind that it all happened in a relatively narrow period of time and a vast geographical range with one of the most complicated and crucial times in the history. Giving the fact that i'm a muslim, I even gained much more knowledge about this part of history than I have ever gained during my school history classes for 12 years. Thank you so much for this amazing job👏👏👏

I don't know why this is free but I ain't complaining.
These guys make great premium videos and they incredibly maintain their standards

I watched Copa America final, UFC 264 & Wimbledon Final today. Sitting in front of my TV to watch the EURO final right now & I find out Kings & Generals uploaded a 2.5 hours documentary on Muslim conquests.

Seems like I'll be going without sleep tonight.

Kings and Generals one of the best YouTube documentaries I have ever watched.
Brilliant and time worth content

The longer the better!! I wish I had been watching these 30 years ago instead of a teacher telling me half truths and half of real history. Plus the attention to detail in the research for this channel is impressive! Thanks for all your videos

[teramech]

Damn history really is more exciting than any fiction when presented well. I've almost stopped watching Netflix after watching these. Thanks for this free and amazing series.

[rwagingsloth]

As Portuguese i love this. This is our History too. We treasure the influences left. As Spain does also. It's in our Languages and therefore in the entire World. Thanks!
Best Regards from Portugal ❤🇵🇹

This is how history lessons should be taught.this turns history from boring subjects into interesting and engaging stories, while containing valuable information.

“If a dog dies hungry on the banks of the River Euphrates, Umar will be responsible for dereliction of duty.” - Umar RA. If only leaders today were this responsible.

A subtle detail….AMR IBN AL’AAS and KHALID IBN AL WALEED where best friends of each other and they spent their youth together in Mecca living the good life as both were sons of rich men of the Quraish tribe…the coincidence was also that after many years they became Muslim at the same time…when KHALID was heading for the Prophet in Medina to accept ISLAM…on his way to Medina he encountered AMR and both were amazed to encounter each other there on the path that they knew would change their lives for good. It’s amazing to me that both the men after the passing of the prophet with many years have been such successful generals in their military campaigns

I am amazed at how the Islamic Arab armies were able the muster, arm, feed and maintain large armies in fields that were practically all deserts.

[magde]

the level of available details would make this a great movie or show

Khalid Al-walid kicked SOOO much rear-end and this video once again gives credit. I can't even image how much work it is making a 2.5 hours animated video. Very very good work. I watch a LOT of informative videos and I tell my history buff friends about your channel. Keep up the excellent work, please.
