The History of the Umayyad Caliphate and the Future of the Arab Nations

The Umayyad empire was the seventh-largest empire in the history of mankind. How did the culture, scientific advances and conquests of the Arabian civilisation impact the Mediterranean theatre? What does the future hold for the Sunni and Shiite Muslims in these regions today?

The Umayyad were a tribe of Arabia which expanded across parts of northwestern India, the Middle East, North Africa and up into Europe, taking the vast majority of the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal) and reaching its furthest extent in AD 750. In the early years of the Caliphate, the Umayyad were lead by an experienced political leader, Muawiyah Ibn Abi Sufyan. However, the Caliphate would continue to flourish for over 350 years and successfully established an advanced society which greatly enriched the world’s scientific, linguistic and mathematical understanding. Words such as algebra, algorithm, alkaline and alcohol were contributed to society by Islamic scholars. The Umayyad set the stage for an Arab golden age that spread across three continents and ultimately turned Spain into the most advanced civilisation in Europe.

Muʿāwiya ibn Abī Sufyān was the founder and first caliph of the Umayyad Caliphate, serving from 661 until his death. He became caliph less than 30 years following the death of the Islamic prophet Muhammad (his brother in law) and direct cousin of Prophet Mohammed

How can you talk about Umayyad and not talk about Umar Bin Abdulaziz all world leaders should copy him

Bani Umayyah from Quraish from Saudi Arabia. The Arabs in the Arabian Peninsula only, the rest of the countries speak Arabic only

The Umayyad Caliphate Formed the basis of the Arab/Islamic heritage but it was toppled down by the Abbasid dynasty who eventually caused its demise.

I like how you do the homosexual harem part in there because that is absolutely not true. I find it odd that you chose that piece of misinformation over anything else

[abdulmalik_al-habeshi]

0:57 the dates of Mu’awiya’s birth and death is wrong, it was 602-680

🕋Imam Ali Speech in (Rashid Caliphate period) About Esteblishment Ummayad Dynasty by Arabs after him🕋
📜As if I see (him - Mowayia and Banu Ummaya), he (the Enjoiner of Evil-Ummayad Rulers) is shouting in Syria (Ash-Sham) and is extending his banners to the outskirts of Kufah(Ali's Caliphate) . He is bent towards it like the biting of the She-camel. He has covered the ground with heads(Massacre of Muslims in Mecca, Madinah Kufah and other Muslim areas) . His mouth is wide open(from Africa to Asia and Europe) and (the trampling of) his footsteps on the ground have become heavy(Pharoahs of Arab Worldl) . His advance is broad(Ahle Sunnat Waljamayat) and his attacks are severe(La illaha illalah Muhammad u Rasuluaah) .

By Allah, he will disperse you throughout the earth (Status of Muslims in 21st Century) till only a few of you remain(Shiyaan-e-Ali), like kohl in the eye. You will continue like this till the Arabs return to their sense(Appearance of Mehdi) . You should therefore stick to established ways(Quran and Ahle Bait-Following deccident of Prophet), clear signs(Imam) and the early period which has the lasting virtues of the Prophethood(Rashid Caliph Ali) . You should know that Satan makes his ways easy so that you may follow him on his heels(Ummayads breed of Islam) .📜

Thank you for the clarity in this video!

[tasmiahmasih]

It's funny how everything about Islamic rule in Spain is presented as some wonderful golden age, yet in the heartlands of the empire the Umayyads were hated so much they were finished off in a bloody massacre. Something tells me you're glossing over the real situation in Iberia at the time.

[thefalcon]

The amount of mistakes in this Video is unreal

[huseyinali]

It's islamic golden age and arab golden age Islamic culture its a multinational culture

[hayderalazzawi]

You forgot to say that Damascus was the capital of Umayyda caliphate

[metalji_s]

Umayyad Caliphate PEAK Syrian culture 🇸🇾🇸🇾

[elonmusk]

The Umayyads didn't conquer that far to the Indian subcontinent. Actually, they didn't even enter present-day India. But they were able to conquer Sindh and Balochistan, both now in Pakistan

[amooor]
