respected brothers and sisters in Islam. Welcome all to another episode of unveiling the Muslim
civilization. Today is Part Six. I have covered five parts already. You can find them on live Dean
page facebook page where I am live right now with you. And then you can see all these episodes
uploaded on my YouTube channel. Also, at Sona check whether the screen is doing fine Alhamdulillah
		

			the screen Stream seems to be doing fine. So brothers sisters, you are all welcome to join these
episodes. This is a very important series on the history of Islam. I will be talking a lot about
		

			some of the aspects of the Muslim history to do with the Muslim civilization. last episodes I've
talked a lot about some of the things how the Muslims took a lot of land, and how this land was
actually acquired after the death of the Prophet of Islam Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, and
what happened subsequently, Muslims made terms and treaties with the non Muslims. And today we will
be talking about whether those treaties were actually implemented. In the very last episode, I
talked about the treaties Muslims made
		

			with
		

			other civilizations for example, okay, or other people living in other lands. And what was the
outcome of those treaties, is what I'm going to talk about today in Part Six of unveiling the Muslim
civilization. I am going to talk about what happened with the non Muslims who were promised those
terms and treaties, which we covered in the last episode, I'm not going to repeat all of that, in
order to see what treaties were made with the non Muslims. During the early Islamic conquest, when
the Sahaba the companions of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam were taking a lot of land in and around
Arabia, and then subsequently, as far as China and Spain, this was the largest chunk of land ever
		

			acquired and governed by one group of people to date in the seventh century. So how was this land
acquired and what came after this acquisition? For that you have to go and watch the five previous
episodes today, I will be talking about the implementation of those treaties. Those treaties
consisted of certain profit promises made with the non Muslim communities of Spain, of let's say,
Egypt and Syria and within the Arabian Peninsula. Okay. The question now is whether those treaties
ever effectively implemented this is the question I would like to address very quickly. Those of you
who are watching this particular episode, please do share it with your context and you will be able
		

			to share this knowledge with others. I will also share it on my Facebook page very shortly. Bear
with me inshallah, and with this inshallah, you will be able to share this knowledge with a lot
more, a lot more people. So what were those treaties? Okay, those treaties
		

			I talked about in the previous episode of unveiling the Muslim civilization.
		

			And to be precise, or to be more specific. I mentioned the Treaty of Medina I mentioned the Treaty
of neuron which was made by the prophet himself. Then I mentioned the Treaty of Jerusalem which was
made by Omar bin Khattab, the second Caliph of Islam, with the Christians of Palestine, in
particular the city of Jerusalem, and then a later treaty that was agreed
		

			upon or agreed to later on in Spain, in underoos, once the Muslims had occupied the territory of
Spain, right. So these treaties promised certain privileges, certain freedoms, certain protections
to non Muslims or for non Muslims. The question is, were these treaties
		

			ever effectively implemented is the question okay. This is the question. I will be
		

			Addressing today very quickly, and in order to understand that
		

			we will
		

			inshallah
		

			go through a lot of this content unveiling
		

			the Muslim civilization. Okay.
		

			So, in order to do that, I will quickly go through the treaties in Sharla.
		

			So now the question is
		

			Where are these treaties fulfilled? What are these promises fulfilled? The Muslims, generals,
rulers, Caleb's. Even the Prophet himself made these promises with the non Muslim communities of all
these lands that were taken in such a short span of time where these treaties fulfilled, and the
answer can be easily given by a Muslim. Absolutely, yes, they were not only fulfilled, but as a
result, the Jews, the Christian, the Zoroastrians, and others flourished under the domain of Islam.
This is a very lavish, a convenient claim we the Muslims can easily make. But the question is now,
is this Cray claim? Even?
		

			Is this claim even
		

			substantiated historically? Is this claim substantiated historically, so brothers sisters, those of
you are watching this video right now live on live beans page, please share it with others, so that
they can also take benefit from this very important content. So now we will be talking about some of
the facts of or some of the facts about those treaties.
		

			How do we know whether those treaties were actually implemented, or whether they were actually
fulfilled or honored? Okay. As I said, Muslims can easily make this claim that yes, they were
fulfilled and we did
		

			accomplish,
		

			what we ought to do, basically to deliver justice, bring peace to the people and subsequently give
them progress. Okay, we the Muslims can easily make that claim. But
		

			one can turn around and say okay, you Muslims are biased. You can easily exaggerate about your
virtues, you can easily claim things about your civilization, that may not be true. So in order to
substantiate your claims, you must bring independent witnesses, if not independent, then the
witnesses
		

			should be coming from the beneficiaries, people who were on the receiving end, ie the non Muslim
masses of all these lands, Syria, Spain, and other places. And for for that, we have some amazing,
amazing, absolutely fascinating testimonies. And I will read those testimonies to you. So the
treaties in order to see the treaties you have to go back to the previous episode, Episode Five. In
this episode, I will be talking about how these treaties are effectively implemented. And for that,
we will see the testimonies of the non Muslims in order to prove our point that Muslims did do
justice to the non Muslims, Muslims, Muslims did bring peace to the non Muslims. Muslims did fulfill
		

			the promises, the promises they made in the treaties. And
		

			we do that by actually quoting the beneficiaries. So where do we start? We start with some of the
testimonies. For example, there is an author called john bar pinkeye, who was writing during the
reign of Mario de la one. He stated that the peace throughout the world was such that we have never
heard either from our forefathers or from our grandparents or seeing that there had ever been any
like it. So john, who was writing in the
		

			in during the reign of Mojave, Roger Lalanne, when Mojave was governing, mafia govern for 20 years,
from 40 Hijri up to 60 hijiri. mob era the law governed the Muslim Empire, if you want to call it
that, although we cannot fully call it an empire. It depends how you define an empire. But the
Muslim domain Mahavira was the keylock. Okay, and he ruled for 20 years. During his reign, a
Christian writing in Syrian territory. His name was john Barton Chi and he wrote in Greek, he said
that there is so much peace throughout the world and the world is talking about his the world around
him, the world around him the world he lives in, right
		

			Talking about that word, there is so much peace in the world that we have never seen anything like
it. We've never heard of anything like it. And what is he doing a comparison with? He's doing a
comparison with the time of the Romans, because his ancestors, John's ancestors would have lived
under the Romans.
		

			So he remembers
		

			how the Romans were treating the people of Syria before the Muslim Advent.
		

			And doing a comparison with that, the Romans would, of course, treat all these people very, very,
very badly. And this is clear from all the testimonies, we will read in due course, inshallah, to
Allah. So the Romans were very, very, very, very bad to the masses, and the Muslims came in, they
made these treaties, they made these promises. And these promises were fulfilled by the grace of
Allah Alhamdulillah Allah Kohli Hall, and john john writing in Syria, in the seventh century, at the
time of the time of maveo, to be alone confirms that particular protection. Okay, this is john
writing in the seventh century. We also have another testimony which Thomas Arnold quote, in his
		

			work, preaching of Islam, which I have quoted repeatedly, Thomas Arnold states, that is your job,
the third, who was the patriarch of Persia, the Christian patriarch of Persia, okay, writing in the
seventh century, as soon as the Arabs or the Muslims took the land of Persia.
		

			Please keep in mind, or bear in mind that Christians were persecuted in Persia under the sassanid
Empire, because the Christians, even though they were heavily persecuted these Christians in the
Middle East, or the Levant, they will have they were heavily persecuted not only by Romans, due to
their religious differences with the Romans, but they were also persecuted by the Persians, because
the Persians thought of these Christians to be agents of the Romans. And even though these
Christians living in Persia, had nothing to do with Romans, as far as theology was concerned, they
were very different to the Byzantines and the Romans. But
		

			because they were Christians, they had the title question. The Persians treated them very, very
suspiciously right? They were very suspicious of these Christians, because they thought the Romans
the Byzantines are the Byzantines. And these Christians have the same religion, therefore, they must
be they must be loyal to each other. Right? So the Persians were very, very harsh on the Christians
living within the Persian territory. So when the Muslims took pleasure, issue of the third, okay, he
wrote in one of his writings that these Arabs, the ishmaelites, they not only honor our faith, but
they are the owner, our saints, and our churches, okay, and they do not put any burden upon us. So
		

			easy job, the third, who was the patriarch of Persia, writing in the seventh century, and Professor
Thomas Arnold coach him in his book, preaching of Islam, to prove this point that the Muslims when
they came to power in these lines, they made treaties. They fulfilled these treaties, they fulfilled
these promises. And we know that because the Christians living in these lands in the land of Egypt,
in the land of Syria, and in the land of Persia, testified to this protection and this peace they
had received as a result of the Muslim takeover of these lands. Okay, so move forward.
		

			Fast forward few centuries, let's say in the ninth century, okay, we were talking about the seventh
century when issue of the third was writing, when john bopping Cormac McCarthy was writing in Syria.
Now fast forward two centuries in the land of Palestine, where we see a French traveler called
Bernard the wise Bernard the wise was traveling through the land of Palestine, during the reign of
Al Khalifa Alma does, okay.
		

			A Caleb and Ambassador Calif, known as martyrs, who governed from 866 to 869. On the three years, at
that time, during his reign, Jerusalem was under the ambassade rule. And this Christian called
Bernard the wise visited Palestine, and this is what he had to say about the Muslim protection in
the land of Palestine. He states and I quote, the Christians and the pagans, who does he mean by
pagans, hey, I mean, he means by pagans, he means the Muslims.
		

			Unfortunately, throughout the Middle Ages, a lot of Christian writers referred to Muslims as pagans
as if Muslims were worshipping idols or multiple gods.
		

			This was clearly a misconception and misunderstanding on the part of Christian writing writers. So
Bernard states, the Christians, and the pagans, ie the Muslims have this kind of peace between them.
They're that if I was going on a journey, and on the way, the camel or donkey, which born My poor
luggage, were to die, and I was to abandon all my goods without any Guardian, and go to the city for
another pack animal. When I came back, I would find all my property uninjured, such as the peace
there. So in the ninth century, Bernard, the wise, a French traveler, who had come from Europe,
traveling through Palestine, had this to say that if I was to leave my luggage in a place, and walk
		

			away, and came back later, later on, I would find all my property uninjured. Such is the piece
they're amazingly today, in the 21st century, my brothers and sisters in Islam, those of you who are
watching right now, okay, and I request that you share this video with your contacts, click the
Share button and share it on your pages, so that other people can benefit and send me live questions
so that I can inshallah answer them later on. Okay, so a lot more people inshallah can join in. And
please post your questions on in the comment section, and I will inshallah answer your questions to
the best of my ability, right. So if in the 21st century, we were to leave our luggage, let's say in
		

			a street, in New York, okay. Or on the road in London, or maybe in Paris, or even Karachi in Cairo,
we would be robbed, if anyone will, anyone wants to, I mean, if you were wearing a watch, and it was
visibly valuable, you would be robbed of it. I mean, recently in London, there was a case, one of
the rich kids from Oman. He was from a very rich family, and he was wearing a watch, which was
highly valuable. He was killed in London, in a very busy area, in Knightsbridge. A very well to do
area of London, near Harrods, there is a shopping center called Harrods. He was killed for his watch
in London. And you may hear stories from Paris from New York and from other Western cities or even
		

			from the Muslim lands like Karachi. There is a lot of corruption and, you know, unfortunately,
crimes taking place in these cities in these places, right.
		

			Bernard, the wise, who visited Palestine in the ninth century had this to say, there is so much
peace that if you were to leave your luggage in a place and walk away, you came back, you would find
your property uninjured. Such is the peace there, indeed. So why am I talking about these
testimonies from Christians in different places at different times? Why? Because I'm trying to prove
a point that those treaties made by the Muslim rulers and Muslim leaders and Muslim generals, when
they took land from China to Spain, they made promises they agreed to treaties in terms of peace, of
protection, in particular for Christians and Jews and other non Muslims living within this large
		

			chunk of land. Okay, those treaties were fulfilled. They were
		

			you know, they were honored these promises made by the Muslims in those treaties. And if you want to
see what those treaties were, go back to the episode.
		

			I covered in the last week, Episode Five, part five of unveiling the Muslim civilization. You can go
and see what those treaties were in that particular episode, the episode before this one, this one
is Part Six, where I'm talking about the fulfillment of those treaties. These promises were made.
treaties were made. Muslims told the non Muslims Yes, we will come to power. Nowadays people talk
about politicians making promises in order to come to power. You see what you hear from the
politicians nowadays around the world, whether it's in the Western world or in the Muslim world,
when elections are going on. Politicians make lavish promises that we will give you free education.
		

			We will give you homes. We will give you provisions
		

			We will provide jobs, we will make the economy better, we will provide you with better security, you
will have peace and tranquility and harmony. All these promises are made, okay repeatedly by
politicians today. And when they come to power, when they come to power, if you go to the people
		

			and ask them, whether they were happy with what
		

			they are going through right now, at this time, were those promises fulfilled. Most people return
around today in the 21st century. And they will tell you, those politicians are a bunch of liars.
They were deceivers. They came in they lied to us again. And they never fulfilled those promises.
Rather to the contrary, provisions are gone more expensive. Education is lacking. There is no
security there is crying, people are being raped and robbed.
		

			So those promises will not fulfilled. But here brothers and sisters, we have a group of people who
rose from Arabia in the seventh century, and that took such a large chunk of land from China to
Spain. And then they made promises to the people on the ground. They made promises to the vanquished
nations, conquered nations subdued nations, the chargement jizya, the Muslim leaders, generals,
careless governance, rulers,
		

			they made promises that told them that you will have protection, you will have harmony, we will give
justice to you, so long as you remain peaceful. Were these promises fulfilled? And according to the
testimony of each issue, you're the third, john bopping Chi Bernard the wise writing in the ninth
centuries later, as late as the 19th century, these promises were certainly fulfilled. Likewise,
another testimony I would like to bring to your attention
		

			is that of patriarch Theodosius of Jerusalem. A patriarch is someone who is like a bishop who is
like an imam of the city who is like the Mufti the Grand Mufti, to use Islamic terms to describe a
Christian position, a Grand Mufti of the city. So the Grand Mufti or the patriarch or the Bishop of
the city of Jerusalem was Theodosius in the ninth century at the same time, when Bernard the wise,
was visiting Jerusalem. This patriarch wrote a letter to his counterpart in Constantinople. Okay,
the Patriarch of Constantinople. So Theodosius wrote in this letter, and I quote, The Saracens, ie
the Muslims show us great goodwill. They allow us to build our churches and to observe our customers
		

			without hundreds. This is a testimony in favor of the Muslim civilization in the ninth century in
particular, whereby a Christian patriarch, Christian Christian Bishop, is confirming that the
Muslims are fulfilling their promises, the promise of protection and peace. And indeed, this promise
was fulfilled.
		

			Jews felt equally safe in Jerusalem at the same time in the ninth century, Jews felt equally safe in
the ninth century. If you go to a Jewish source called sepher Patreon sepher. Patreon is an
anonymous Jewish commentary on the Torah. Okay. It was authored in the ninth century, the author was
unknown, unfortunately, who was certainly Jewish. He stated, The people in whose hands The temple is
today I eat the Temple of Solomon, the Temple of Solomon, which is much of a oxa have made it into a
choice, excellent and honorable place of worship. They say, let us worship the One God who created
heaven and earth, to whom the creatures belong until the coming of the Messiah and on that day, the
		

			true worship will be renewed and will be acceptable before God. So this Jewish man, writing in the
ninth century in Jerusalem, is telling us how the Temple of Solomon, material oxide compound has
become an honorable, an excellent place of worship, where the Jews and the Muslims can worship
together, ninth century so here again, a Jewish man
		

			confirms the protection of the Muslims. Another testimony I would like to bring to your attention.
Michel de elder, the Jacobite patriarch of Antioch in the 12th century wrote in the favor of Muslims
after
		

			condemning the tyranny of the Christian Byzantines. Okay. And Michael the elder was a Christian
author writing in the 20th century in Antioch in the city of Antioch he writes, when the city is
submitted to the Arabs, they assigned to each denomination the churches which they found it to be in
possession of. And at that time, the great churches of America and that of Iran had been taken away
from us by the Byzantines. Nevertheless, it was no slight advantage for us to be delivered from the
cruelty of the Romans ie the Byzantines, their wickedness they rot and cruisin against us and to
find ourselves at peace. Michael v. Elder writing in the 12th century confirms that when the Muslims
		

			defeated the Byzantines, who were Christians, they gave the Christians of these lands peace.
		

			So the treaties, the terms, the promises, Muslim is made with others, were absolutely confirmed and
fulfilled, according to all these testimonies in different places at different times. I have already
quoted issue job the third for you. So my brothers and sisters, what about the Jewish people writing
in other places at other times, so I would like to bring to your attention, some Jewish testimonies
very, very quickly. Okay. So
		

			some of the Jewish authors, for example, have paid lavish tributes to the Muslim civilization. Okay.
		

			One of the Jewish authors
		

			he's named,
		

			for example, his name was
		

			I have to confirm the name very quickly.
		

			Yes, he's never resign zohore. Okay, zine. zohore is an author a Jewish author from the US. He has
written a book titled, a history of Sephardic and Mizrahi jewelry, on page eight of his book, a
history of Sephardic and Mizrahi Jewry. He states that when the Muslims landed on Gibraltar, when
the Muslims landed on Gibraltar, the Jews welcomed them as liberators, the Jews, the Jewish people
of Spain, welcomed the Muslims as liberated from the tyranny of the Catholic church they were facing
at the time in an undisclosed or Hispania or Iberian Peninsula or Spain. All of these names are the
names of the same territory, Hispania, Iberia, Spain, under loose or under lucea. All of these are
		

			names of the same region, when depending on who governed and when the government, right? So, Zions
Johar, who is a modern American historian who wrote this book paid this lavish tribute to the Muslim
take over of Spain. So another testimony from
		

			the 11th century, okay, there was
		

			a man called Bahia been pakoda, okay, by Ivan pakoda or Eben pakoda, his name was Evan pakusa. He
was writing in Spain in the 11th century in 1018, to be precise, 1080s, right. This is how he paid a
tribute to the Muslim protection and Muslim fulfillment of promises and treaties made with the
Jewish people. He states, if one of our contemporaries looks for similar miracle now, let him
examine objectively our situation among the Gentiles, ie the Muslims. Since the beginning of the
diaspora, and the way our affairs are managed, in spite of the differences between us, and them,
both secret and open, which are well known to them, let him see that our situation as far as living
		

			and subsistence are concerned,
		

			is the same as theirs or even better in times of war and civil disturbances. You see how both the
leaders and their vulgar peasants toil much more than the middle and lower classes among us
according to our Lord's promise contained in the scriptures. So what by up in Baku de is saying
here, writing in Cordoba and Kurkova in Spain, in 1080s, is that our living condition is if not
same, then better than the Muslims. So in other words, by having bakudo, a Jewish rabbi writing in
1080s, in Spain, in Islamic Spain and London was confirmed
		

			That our living standard is a lot better than
		

			what
		

			the Muslims are going through at the moment. There are many many questions here and I would love to
answer all these questions inshallah very, very soon.
		

			Let me finish with my content very quickly brothers and sisters, and then inshallah I will get to
your questions in sha Allah.
		

			I hope you're enjoying the content so far. It is historic research. And it is very, very important
for us to know
		

			the true nature of the Muslim civilization and its legacy. Okay, another Jewish traveler. His name
was Benjamin have to della Benjamin of Tudela, who was a Spanish Jew who traveled throughout the
Middle East. Okay, a Spanish to travel to Baghdad, in 1168. Describe the situation of the Iraqi Jews
in these words. So this is how Benjamin Tudela describes the situation of Jews living in Iraq in the
year 1168. This is how he describes the situation. And I quote, in Baghdad there are about 40,000
Jews, and they dwell in security, prosperity and honor under the great Calif. Almost pungent
		

			amongst them are great sages, the heads of the academies engaged in the study of the law. So what is
Benjamin Tudela saying here of Benjamin of Tudela, he's saying, having seen the situation of the
Jewish people in Baghdad in Iraq, he says they are living in security, prosperity, and honor. He
mentioned three words security, prosperity and honor. So what promises did the Muslims make with the
non Muslims and these treaties in these agreements they made with the Christians and the Jews and
wherever they went, some of the texts or some of the treaties I mentioned in the previous episode,
in part five of unveiling the Muslim civilization, this is part six.
		

			So these were the promises the Muslims made that you will have protection, security an honor. And
this is how the Jewish people felt living with the Muslims for over 1000 years. Some scholars
believe that the Jewish people survived
		

			because of the Muslim protection, because there were so few in numbers. They were facing extinction
in Western Europe or Northern Europe. And at that time, the Muslims gave them refuge, a lot of the
Jewish people who were expelled from Spain with the Muslims in the 15th century, when Isabella and
Ferdinand two monarchs, when a coalition of Castile and Aragon came together and attacked the last
stronghold of the Muslims in Spain called Granada or nada. When the stronghold was defeated, or
subdued or overpowered, the result was a mass exposure of the Muslims and the Jews. So the Muslims
and the Jews were given two choices. You either die
		

			or convert. Okay? A lot of the Jews and the Muslims are converted forcefully. Okay? The Muslims who
converted to Christianity or Catholicism forcefully, they became moriscos, they were called
moriscos. And many academic works have been written on moriscos. You can go and study the situation
of the moriscos. In these works, I can very very quickly mentioned some of them. It doesn't take me
very long to find the file, where I have these books saved
		

			with the title moriscos Yes, I have found. So you can, for example, read the history of the
moriscos. In
		

			a book titled Pedro de Valencia and the Catholic apologists of the explosion of the moriscos visions
of Christianity and kingship. This book is authored by grace magnifier published by Brill, okay,
another book on moriscos. A very, very important work is between Christians and moriscos. The author
is Benjamin Ehlers Benjamin Ehlers, the surname is spelled h l e. r s. Okay, a very good book on the
plight of the Muslims who
		

			suffered under this forced conversion. Then another book I strongly recommend is forbidden passages,
Muslims and moriscos in colonial Spanish America. This book is by Caroline P. Cook. Caroline is
spelt with K.
		

			Caroline peacock. Another book I strongly recommend on the topic of moriscos is the converses and
moriscos in late medieval Spain and beyond, okay. And it is edited. This book is edited by Kevin
engram published by Brazil, you must brothers and sisters, read these books and if you want to read
an introduction on moriscos, then you get hold of a copy of the book titled moriscos and it is
authored by Henry Charles Lee, h. c. Li Li is spelled l e a, and then you will see what the Muslims
and those who were forcefully converted went through in underload in Spain, after the land, or after
the city of Granada, the last Nasri stronghold fell to the Catholic Monarchs in 1492, the same year
		

			when Christopher Columbus decided to
		

			part from Spain to look for a new route to India to avoid the Mediterranean, because the Ottomans
were there, the Ottomans had dominated the Mediterranean Sea by then.
		

			And
		

			there was a lot of danger on that route. So Christopher Columbus, was looking for a new route to
India, and he found the West Indies and lo and behold, the Americas. So brothers and sisters, the
Jewish people were expelled with the Muslims, a lot of the Muslims that traveled to North Africa, to
places like Morocco, to places like Libya, to places like Algeria and sordid the Jewish people. The
Jewish people lost it in Morocco, in Tunisia and Libya, in places like Algeria for as late as the
1940s. Until the State of Israel was created, the Jewish people flourished, they were happily living
among the Muslims. So the Muslims protected the Jewish people for over 1000 years against all these
		

			prosecutions, and the Jewish people felt felt very, very happy and protected under the Muslims. So
brothers and sisters, I can give a lot more testimonies in this regard. There are so many
testimonies, I can bring forward for your attention. For now, this will suffice. And we will now
move on to the progress that was made through all of this protection for the non Muslims. So now
it's clear that the promises made by the Muslims in treaties, which I discussed in the previous
episode of unveiling the Muslim civilization, were fulfilled. All these promises were fulfilled.
		

			Pretty much mostly fulfilled. Of course, they can be exceptional cases. I'm not claiming a utopia,
utopia, perfection on the part of the Muslims, please mark my words. I am not claiming utopia. I'm
not claiming perfection on the part of the Muslims. Muslims did make mistakes. Muslims did commit
atrocities at times, right. But these are exceptions. The general pattern of the Muslim civilization
is exactly what I've put in front of you. testimonies from different times, in different places,
right? testimonies from the Middle East, from levant from Syria, from Persia, from Egypt, from
Spain, the Jewish people talking about the Muslim protection and how they felt so happy under the
		

			Muslim protection. And the Muslim protection provided a golden age for the Jewish people. Okay. And
Professor Thomas Arnold, in his book preaching of Islam, paid a lavish tribute to what the Muslims
had achieved in Spain. In the following words, Muslim Spain and I quote, Muslim Spain had written
		

			one of the brightest pages in the history of medieval Europe.
		

			Her influence had passed through Provence into the other countries of Europe, bringing into birth a
new poetry in a new culture. And it was from her that Christian scholars received What are Greek
philosophy and science they had to stimulate the mental activity to activity up to the time of the
Renaissance. So this prosperity, this peace and justice, which Muslims promised and delivered, and
delivered, as these testimonies are put in front of you.
		

			Clarify and substantiate
		

			So these promises were delivered, they were fulfilled. The outcome was a flourishing civilization in
the middle east of flourishing civilization in Spain, where books were produced on a massive scale
where Christians, Jewish, Muslim scholars, and even those who didn't have any belief, okay, produced
works on science, philosophy, literature, poetry, theology, Hadees, Koran,
		

			you know, all sorts of works written on all sorts of topics, okay. And
		

			many, many, many scholars, they paid lavish tributes, to this contribution of the Muslims.
		

			Muslim achievements, okay, the consequences of justice, tolerance and peaceful coexistence Muslims
had enabled were mentioned by many, many scholars. So, now that we have addressed the the point that
these promises Muslims made and treaties are fulfilled, according to the testimonies of the Jews and
the Christians, what was the outcome? What was the result of these promises fulfilled? What was the
outcome? Okay, the Jews and the Christians are protected, they are happy, they are flourishing under
the rule of Islam under the domain of Islam for centuries, okay, if not decades, for centuries,
because we see diff testimonies from different places at different times in different centuries. So
		

			now, it is clear that the Jews and the Christians did flourish according to the testimonies and the
evidence I have produced, what happened, what was the outcome and this was the outcome and I will
read some quotes for you to understand the magnitude of the outcome, okay.
		

			In the future episodes, brothers and sisters, having clarified all of this, I will be talking about
some of the lands Muslims went to in more detail, so that we can talk about the true extent of the
Muslim civilization and its impact on human development in general. Okay, so I will be talking about
a London close. I will focus on Al Andalus. I will focus on mobile India, I will potentially focus
on talk about I'll talk about crusades as well. I'll talk about Mongol invasions as well in sha
Allah. And I will talk about other aspects of the Muslim civilization, whereby the Muslims succeeded
in many, many ways. And then the lost all of that due to crusades due to Mongol invasions and some
		

			of their own mistakes. And all of this will be talked about in the future episodes. For now coming
back to the progress that was achieved by peace and
		

			harmony and coexistence. Murdock picked all in his book.
		

			Now the cultural side of Islam states, in Spain under the oma yet and in Baghdad, under the basket,
Caleb's Christians and Jews, equally with Muslims are admitted to the schools and university
universities. Not only that, but were boarded and lodged in hospitals at the cost of the states.
		

			That was amazing. This was a fascinating,
		

			you know,
		

			privilege and honor for the Muslims and the Jews and the Christians to be able to live together in
peace and harmony and produce works. That will help posterity and that help us to this day, we are
still using some of the works produced by scholars at that time, because of harmony and justice and
peace, whereby all these people could coexist.
		

			Then we move on to
		

			the basket case. Abu Jafar Mansoor established a school called base of hikma House of wisdom in
Baghdad, which was an institution specializing in translations and producing original academic
works. translators were usually rewarded by gold in equal weight of their books.
		

			This patronage was not confined to Baghdad. As the Romanians in Spain were also amassing books and
libraries on an unprecedented scale. So what am I trying to tell you this peaceful coexistence
between Muslims, Christians and Jews brought about a flourishing civilization, which was called the
Muslim civilization. The Muslim civilization was not
		

			only for the Muslims, rather, it was an achievement of three Abrahamic faiths. if not more
		

			Okay, three Abrahamic faiths together, came together for the first time in human history flourished
under one umbrella, the umbrella of Islam and they produced this great civilization and all of this
book production, all of this book copying all the writings of the books and the production of
manuscripts, on science, on literature on geometric for example, okay on algebra, okay, on
		

			an
		

			anatomy, on medicine, for example, on poetry, philosophy, Aristotle's works were translated into
Arabic, and then reintroduced to Western Europe from the Muslim lands, okay. It was ignored, rushed.
His commentaries on Aristotle, that were later on translated into the Latin language by European
scholars, whereby these works were introduced to the Europeans. So brothers and sisters, we are
still addressing the progress that was made
		

			by or through that peace, justice and compassion, Muslims promised and delivered. I repeat again,
this is the final point for this particular episode for this episode, I will end here I will stop
pay to take questions in Sharla because there are many questions in the comment section. I will go
through those questions very quickly. And I will continue with progress in the next episode, and
then I will announce what is coming after that episode. In the next episode, as I mentioned earlier,
that I will be talking about Spain in a bit more detail. I will talk about mobile India in a bit
more detail crusades, and the Ottomans and the Mongol invasions and the EU beats all of this will be
		

			covered, inshallah a bit more detail. In the first introductory episodes, I was mostly talking about
the rise of the Muslim civilization. And the first thing was the conquest of the lands, the great
Arab, or Muslim conquests, the early Islamic conquest, and what happened after those conquests. So
and I talked about a golden chain of events, if you remember, the golden chain of events was the
revelation of the Quran number one, number two,
		

			the promise of justice that came from the Quran number three piece that actually emerged from that
promise of justice and progress that was made possible by that peace. So today, we talked about that
peace and justice, which was promised and delivered by the Muslims in different places at different
times in different centuries. And the result was the progress I have briefly mentioned in this
episode today. In the next episode, we will continue with the progress that Muslims made in
different areas in different places, and how that progress helped the rest of humanity develop
further in fields like science, philosophy, literature, and other pursuits of knowledge and arts. So
		

			inshallah in the next episode, I will continue with talking about the progress that was made by
		

			the Quran, justice and peace, that progress and how that progress actually made
		

			a huge difference to the well being of human race in general. I will stop it today. Thank you so
much for listening. Well, Henry, Lyra, Bilal Amin. And now I will go straight to your questions,
which I can see in the comments section allow a cover, okay.
		

			There are a lot a lot of comments, and I will try to read them.
		

			I cannot see all the comments, unfortunately, but I will try to see as many as I can. Okay.
		

			Fun fact, okay. Someone mentioned Fun fact, Christians helped the Muslims Empire, Muslim, Muslim
Empire destroy the Byzantines. This is partly true. Someone mentioned this, that the Christians of
the Middle East, the Christians of levant helped the Muslims basically get rid of the Byzantine
Empire, which was also Christian. By the way, the Byzantine Empire at the time, the Romans or the
Byzantines were Christians and the masses in Syria and Egypt and even in Persia. They helped the
Muslims to get rid of the Persian sassanid Empire and the Byzantine number. So it's a factual
statement to some extent, okay.
		

			Okay, I will ignore
		

			it.
		

			ignore some of the compliments, and I will go straight to the comments. Okay. subpanel I don't know
how to bring these comments about let me
		

			very quickly refresh the page so that I can see the comments very, very quickly so that I can answer
your questions.
		

			Okay, so, where are the comments? We have 27 comments, Mashallah.
		

			Okay. Right? Were the Jews more prosperous under Muslims versus under Christians or any one else?
Okay, that's a very good question. Well, the Jews more prosperous under Muslims than they were under
Christians. Many Jewish scholars believe so. Jewish scholars like Bernard Lewis and Mark Cohan, they
both believe, for example, Bernard Lewis, in his book, The Jews of Islam, clearly states that the
the Jewish, the Jewish people were better off under the Muslims and they were under the Christians.
Of course, Bernard Lewis doesn't paint the Islamic protection or Islamic domain as a utopia. He also
talks about problems that Jewish people faced. But in comparison, the Jewish people flourished under
		

			the rule of Islam
		

			a lot more than they did under the Christian rule. And Mark Cohen in his book under the crescent on
the end, the cross under the present and the cross. He talks about the Jewish existence in diaspora.
He says the same thing that the Jewish people flourished under the domain of Islam, more so than
they did under the Christians. Okay. Someone asked a question.
		

			How do you answer accusations of pure plagiarism by both the Christian and the Jews, Christians who
in turn get accused of nicking scripture by the Jewish folk?
		

			similarity does not always imply plagiarism or copying. Okay, if stories are similar in scriptures,
then the source can be the same. Okay? If the Quran mentions the same stories as the Bible doesn't
mean that the Quran borrows from the Bible because we can talk about that. And I have talked about
that on my YouTube channel if you go there are many many videos where I show how the Quran could not
have been possibly copying from the Bible. Actually, the Quran corrects the Bible, some of the
biblical errors, the Quran corrects them. So that's an answer to your question.
		

			Okay, someone saying thank you so much as I can look at and and there are many more questions
coming. I don't know how to get to the questions below. For some reason, my laptop does not allow me
to read more questions. Okay.
		

			Okay,
		

			so panela
		

			How do you go below?
		

			One second.
		

			Maybe I should bring the comments on this side.
		

			And I can see so if there are any more questions, please post them in the comment section because
they're coming up now. I can see your questions right now. If I haven't answered your question
brothers and sisters, please post it again very quickly so that I can answer it right now.
inshallah, please post your question again. If I have not answered your question, please post it
again. Because I can see your questions now. I cannot see the questions that are gone below. For
some reason. Please post your question again, so that I can answer your question very, very quickly.
Okay, inshallah, I will try my best to answer your question as quick as possible. So if there are no
		

			more questions, thank you so much. It was a pleasure. For me an honor for me to represent the Muslim
