let's do something different a shallow Tada let's do a little bit of history in sha Allah, this is
from memory. So if I make some mistakes, then names or dates inshallah then just corrected on the
video, I guess in sha Allah, I gave a hoot about Islam in India. It's useful for us to know the
origins of Islam in that land. And when was the first time that Muslims came in what was the story
and what happened? It is mentioned in our books of history that even in the time of the holophone
rush, you don't remember hottub and Earth mundo de la Juan, there were skirmishes with Indian naval
		

			forces Earthman in particular, that aroma Rhodiola Han did not want any Muslim naval force. But
there were some ships going along and perhaps some minor battles took place, but there was no actual
invasion in that timeframe. It is also mentioned that maybe in the reign of war our way because our
the loved one was the first one to have an actual naval force. It is mentioned in some books that
Medallia rhodiola, one might have had a small port in what is now the Macron province, a small port,
where, you know, the ships would go and get their supplies, but not military conquest. He just had
that port as a basis. The first invasion is all of us Indian box and user aware was by Mohammed bin
		

			Qasim, this was the first invasion. What was the story of this invasion. So in the time of the
qualifier, and the early OMA years out of this has already begun to travel for the sake of T Java.
And they already had communities in small islands across the Indian Ocean. And they had communities
in what is now Sri Lanka. So our merchants were buying and selling trading. And so there was a small
group of Muslims as expatriates as foreigners, not as locals or whatnot. And they had married
intermarried. And they had children from these marriages. It so happened that they didn't go back to
Arabia for a long period of time, and they all died and their children remained Muslim. Their
		

			mothers were from locals and their parents, their fathers are from out of lands. So the king of Sri
Lanka decided as a gift as a gesture to the OMA yearns to send these children these boys and girls
back to the Muslim lands as a gift that you know, we respect women to have good relations, so that
Sarang can King did this he sent a ship and the ship had the young ladies and the boys of these
Muslim merchants. Pirates from India pirates intercepted the ships and took these young ladies you
understand why. news reached the OMA yet caliphate. And the OMA yet caliphate sent a message to the
local Raja, the local king, his name was daha or die hit. The news reached the Omega Khalifa and he
		

			sent a message to the closest king. You have to hand these young ladies back to us. They are our
children. They are our you know, OMA, you're not allowed to do this. Roger says I'm not doing it.
This is the pirates. And I have these pirates are rebels. I have tried so many years to fight them.
I can't fight them. Whether it was real weather was an excuse, we don't know. But he refused to get
involved. And so I'll hide judgment use of the governor. He became so enraged, he sent his own
nephew Mohammed bin of Kasim Kasim is from the tribe of Durban, South Africa as well. He sent his
own nephew, Mohammed bin Qasim, 17 year old military general, and he armed him with everything, gave
		

			him everything that was needed. And he said destroy this Raja destroy, he did not stand up when we
needed to. So now you need to just get rid of this person. So Muhammad Qasim then landed at the
table, and the table is a drive away from Karachi. You still have the remnants of the table to this
day. I'm not sure an hour or not. If anybody's been there, they can tell me but I think it's an hour
away from Karachi. 45 minutes from Karachi. So he landed a double and this is when the expansion
began. And Allah subhanho wa Taala blessed that generation it was, I have no doubt in my mind, it is
miracle after miracle. If you read how the Muslims conquered that region and the Hora son and
		

			marijuana and you know the the Sassanid Empire and the Roman Empire. There's no question that
generation was blessed by ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada there. Emonda
		

			Taqwa the baraka of that generation, we have never seen it you know ever since then. So Mohammed bin
Qasim begins conquering, conquering daybell Sorry, Raja daha attacks. His famous battle took place
in a city bruh mana BOD Brahmanda does the city back then. So in that city, the river Indus was was
flowing next to it. And one of the Muslim archers threw an arrow with the fire at the end of the
era. You know that that fire that comes and it hit the elephant of Raja daha. So the elephant fell
into the river in this with Raja on it. So Raja fell into the river, and then the Muslim began
attacking until the raja was killed with the death of the raja Dahir. Obviously, monsoon.
		

			Brahma NABARD was conquered. It was then called Man surah. Okay, mon surah. So the city of mon Surah
became the original capital of the Muslims of the Sindh province, Karachi, the Sindh province. So
the city of mon Surah became that capital and a number of other cities were also created or renamed
my Fula was one of them will tan as well came under Muslim control. So four or five cities were then
created in this region, what is now the province of synth. Now, one of our problems as historians
and as people who are researching this era is that we don't have original documents of that
timeframe. We do not have the details of what happened. And the next 300 years are very, very murky.
		

			There are no large volumes written about the Muslims of India of that timeframe. We literally have
pages that is it. Why? Because the action for most of the historians is in Baghdad, it is in Kufa,
it is in Damascus it is in Makkah and Medina, this small province of Matsuura and my father and
Macron and will turn who's writing about that. We have little references in the big Arab history
historians al belladati, autobody. We have a paragraph, a small sentence and that's it locally over
there. We do not have any preserved histories from eyewitnesses. The earliest history that we have,
it is called the church nama. This is the earliest history that is written of that timeframe. The
		

			church nama was written in ancient fantasy or medieval Farsi. And it was written around 405. No,
sorry, it was written 1300 CE. So that's 700 1300 ce 1300 CE. So what Hijra is that 700? Hijiri 700.
Right. So 1300 ce 700 hegi. We have the judge nama being written that starch novel was written in
Persian. And the author alleges that he discovered a manuscript in Arabic that was written by an
eyewitness under Mohammed bin Qasim. But this is a legend. And the stories are so romanticized and
put into flowery language that we don't know what to believe what not to believe. So the charge Nama
is something that is used, but at the same time, there's an element because it was written for a
		

			king. And anytime you write something for a king, anytime you write something for ruler, what's
going to happen, you know, you give it some leeway, some extra whatnot. So this is our main problem
here. Now we know that the OMA yards, continue to send governors to these provinces, but the OMA has
lost the word to their buses. The buses lost interest in that region. It was too far for the buses.
They sent a governor or two they sent a particular governor that Governor died and so an
insurrection took place. And one of the locals basically declared himself to be the soul fawn
declared himself to be the governor, not the soul, Don, and he said I am now going to rule on behalf
		

			of the Abbas's, and his dynasty became the longest dynasty of this timeframe. It is called the
habited dynasty, the Habad dynasty. It ruled for 170 years, the Habad dynasty its its base was
Matsuura and it was called the habito dynasty, a very interesting story, the fifth generation
ancestor of the founder of the dynasty, he was by the Hubba, Eben a sweat they've been abducted, her
body been more positive even. I don't remember his full name. How about Eben motive something. He
was a second cousin of Khadija. He was a second cousin of Khadija bar. And he was in the time of the
Prophet system and he was an enemy of Islam. Once a no but the Allahu Anhu wanted to migrate to
		

			Medina. He was the one who stood in the way and took his arrow out and wanted to shoot at the camel.
The camel reared back and it is said that Xena but the Alanna was pregnant. And so she fell and she
miscarried because of her bar. And that is why when the conquest of Makkah happened, there was a
list of people the process was that these people shall not be forgiven have been
		

			His name was on there. But Allah had willed that his descendants would be the first dynasty of what
is now Pakistan. So how Barr accepted Islam, hid himself came to the process and begged for
forgiveness. And the Prophet says and would forgive anybody who asked for forgiveness anybody. When
Hubbard asked for forgiveness, the process of forgive him five generations later because Allah's
plan has to take place. His fifth generation descendant was in the city of mon Sora. And he founded
the Habad dynasty for from 150 Hegira to around 300 Hegira. That was the Hubbard dynasty until
Moodle has never became Moodle, most of us know he came and then took over from the Hubbard dynasty.
		

			You know, what we do know is that from 150 to 300, hedge rock, that region of Pakistan what we call
the Pakistan was obviously called sin back then, that region of sin, it as is always the case in
Muslim history, one of the tragedies of Muslim history, it became divided amongst itself. And rather
than being united under one governorship, at least five governorships were created, every city
became independent from the other, every city is boycotting the other fighting the other, the same
thing happened in under those exact same thing. You had 27 Mini dynasties and under those at one
given time, can you imagine? What do you think is going to happen when you have 27 dynasties? Of
		

			course, you know, Ferdinand Isabel are going to come and conquer the entire land. Of course, that's
going to happen. The Muslim disunity is our problem from day one, instead of uniting against others,
they began fighting amongst themselves could lose his Mimpi malady him for the unknown. And so
between these cities now, we do have one other source of information. And that is just a few
paragraphs of travelers that went through these regions and recorded what they saw, not even bottled
had been bottled as much later on. We have travelers that came before Ibn Battuta. We have people
like even Helen, we have people like Alice study, we have a number of people who traveled through
		

			the lands, and they visited mon surah. They visited Moulton, and they described beautiful gardens,
some of the one of them says that the people of mon Surah they dress and talk like the people of
Iraq, because the conquerors were Iraqi. So 300 years later, and you have a mini Iraq, in Pakistan,
mini Iraq, that the language is Iraqi, the dialect is adopted the dresses Iraqi in that region. So
the traveller describes this. Also, interestingly enough for those that are students of fic. We know
that the VA Haiti mud hub was predominant over there, right? And he actually writes that the there's
a small group of Hanafis. But the predominant method is the VA Headey method, the VA heavy med hub,
		

			there were five method once upon a time, this is the fifth method. It disappeared over time, but it
was common in that region until until what happened happened. Another interesting point, although
this is random facts, another interesting point. So we talked about Matsuura. As for Milton, as for
Milton, at some point in time, we do not know when the governor of Milton for strategic purposes
broke away from the basset Empire, and he declared his allegiance to the Fatimid empire. And he
became a smiley. So that city followed the thought of a strand of suit of sheer ism that is called
its magnetism, right? And this is the origin of that felucca in that land. Every Indian Pakistani
		

			knows what I'm talking about, right? The origin of that physical where did it come from? In this
time frame around 202 50 hedgerow, Moulton stopped being Sunni and converted. We do not know why. As
far as we know, it could be strategic purposes that instead of speak because Matsuura always
remained technically under the Busquets Sunni mon Surah gave its little bit of money and the hotel
was read in the name of the Abbasid Caliphate. As for Moulton, the travelers that go through
describe that Moulton reads in the name of the Khalifa of the Fatimids. Right, and this is where a
group of people converted, they call themselves Hajah. At the time, it's a felucca. It's a group
		

			that isn't a Philipa it was an ethnicity of traders at that time, and they converted to that group.
And as we know, people of that region or their descendants still they had to adopt because it's my
it is and went to two different trends. You had the Boko Haram, you had the desire Yaga honey, you
had the Druze and you had all three of these in that region at that timeframe. So there there
antagonism increases, and it was at this point in time when Moodle has nervy for reasons beyond the
scope of of these regions. Moodle has nervy decides to attack and he was the one who then destroyed
Moulton as a Fatimid province and he recaptured Matsuura
		

			He then United that region under his famous you know has an empire and then history is recorded we
do have history recorded from my mother has never one of his secretaries by name of a route to be he
was a historian. So we have the history of a route to be an eyewitness of the reconquest of memorial
of US Navy, pre mahmudul has Navy, which is from around so, Muhammad Qasim was 91 Hijra. Moodle has
Navy is around what 400 100? Right? So from 91 to 400. This is our dark area. We don't know much
because as I said, we don't have eyewitness historians. And we don't have somebody from outside
writing in, we just have a little bit of paragraphs, what I have reconstructed, maybe you can add
		

			maybe 510 times this amount. And that's all that we know from this timeframe. Shall maybe another
lecture I'll talk about more who has Nivi and then of course you have other you know, dynasties.
Maybe another time we'll talk about them Xochimilco center what was
