Akbar: The Muslim Monarch Who Championed Religious Harmony 

Hey, I am a Sikh please cover Sikhism in your videos too, Sikhs are fifth largest religious community in the World. Interestingly During the time of Akbar Sikhism flourished in northern part of Indian subcontinent. Please cover it too you are missing out on something very essential

I am sorry, the name of the book " Ain-i- Akbari " should be pronounced like " Aaeené Akbari " which means " Ritus Akbariae "

Awesome video as always, can you also make a video on Alevism in the future?

@Nonsensical The roots are same, Hinduism is the parent of all major Indian born faiths be it Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism. However just as Buddhists are different in that sense Sikhs are different too

@ArraaBBee 0007 ya the blood thirsty monster

@ArraaBBee 0007 well he was believe it or not , we have" fatwa alamgiri "with us which tells us in detail how fanatic of character he was completely different from his predecessors!!

@ArraaBBee 0007 bro when the book which is literally written by aurangzeb and his companions says such things about him the how the hell is this a misrepresentation??

@ArraaBBee 0007 I think he is represented the way he actually was. Indian history textbooks are rather more generous on representing Alamgir.

@ArraaBBee 0007 yup....even as a person who greatly dislikes Aurangzeb, I can say he is misrepresented. He is really cruel to many but don't think he was a religious fanatic who relied only on the Qur'an like the Taliban of today....

@Watch4 😳lol.akbar means great... His name is jalauddin muhammad Hindus gave him the title of akbar... In his court also, mullas used to call him akbar

@Watch4 you'll curse the mullas?😋😋

@Watch4 when someone isn't following your alley you will curse him there is a reason why he is one of greatest king of indian subcontinent

@Watch4 he was great, far greater than a zealot like you.

@Watch4 you don't have to be relegious to be great.

Hehe yes me too

Same. I’m going to try harder though.

I turned non veg due to social pressure. 😂

Same i am Hindu i think in future i gonna be non veg because of societal pressure

@@hirenahir76200 moderate amounts of fish and flesh are definately beneficial to a healthy diet, otherwise you most likely have to suplement with artificial products.

Mughals were also influenced by Neoplatonism, as recent scholarship says. The Emperor is given a divine quality.

Yep...that's what I believe is a common technique of usurping a person, country, religion, or kingdom.

Yeah, allahu Akbar is the muslim equivalent of "god is good" or "praise god" the way it's used here just feels like rewriting history.

Booooooo

It is love that is holding everything together and it is everything also"- Rumi

Rumi's poetry have been portrayed too much in a secular way in the west completely undermining the islamic elements in the translations to the point of making him a sole love poet. He spoke of divine love and also his famous quote: "I'm just on the path of Muhammad." In general Sufism too so much misunderstood in the west. Though as a Muslim who studies about other religions, philosophies and science. I agree there is an essence of divine or truth in everything but mixed up and flawed in some way or another. Peace✌🏻

The world's major religions contradict each other on everything, Islam doesn't believe in the resurrection of Jesus in Christianity, Hinduism has multiple God's which is heresy according to the Abrahamic faiths.

@@halaldunya918 You are wrong, Hinduism have one universal God as one ultimate reality ,otyer deities are creation of that reality . y

@@halaldunya918 All religions share one thing in common. The Golden Rule. And when you listen to the moral teachings of religions they generally arrive at the same point. I believe all religions are human inventions. What binds them is our common human morality.

@@abed9267 that is only one tradionan among many even then it heavily contradict the abrahmic faiths

@@brasik1722 yes, meant Elizabeth I.

@@usmang5542 Source.?

For one brief moment I was *very* confused because "The Queen isn't *that* old except in memes" and then I realised you were talking about Elizabeth I.

In a letter to King Philip II of Spain, Akbar laments that so many people do not inquire into issues within their own religion, stating that most people will instead "follow the religion in which [they] were born and educated, thus excluding [themselves] from the possibility of ascertaining the truth, which is the noblest aim of the human intellect."

It isn't a current taboo. There are sayings of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh forbidding it. Just like the Bible forbids it thus: Exodus 20:4-5 says, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth." Different individuals just adhere with different levels of strictness to religious laws, as they always have.

Mughals artists justified painting human form, saying that the painted forms are never perfectly similar to the creation of God. So it's okay. No one is challenging God or anything....

It's probably coming down the line!

@@LetsTalkReligion your videos are always well balanced, im optimistic that you will be including dark sides of sufism in India too..

@@LetsTalkReligion please make a video about Islam and Apostasy

I think he has

He was better relative to other turkish kings , but he would get seizures of Quran, as a result, thou8of innocents would have to pay a prize

Exept for the fact that he was a heretic who left Islam

@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl Perhaps he was a force of good which was suppressed.

@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl The whole point of this video is we don't really know what he was, his detractors said one thing, his supporters said the opposite. And Allah knows best of all.

@Lilia murah Mohammad was the most manipulator and narcissistic that's why he is among the most influential leaders in the world

@Lilia murah Not gonna get hard here on most of this but the Tolstoy quote is a very literal forgery. Tolstoy has a lot of unorthodox views and did think well of Islam, but his Christianity is rather clear even in his unfinished works. There's a reason he's a founder of Christian Anarchism. But he was interesting heavily in ascetic practices of other religious creeds. Unfortunately, we literally know basically everything about Tolstoy's life because he wrote a daily journal of everything he did. He was a weird dude. Really the best evidence he didn't embrace Islam is that its not common knowledge, both the Tsar and the USSR wanted to slander Tolstoy due to his popularity and obsession with Georgianism, an economic system that was personally slammed by Marx but similarly called for the destruction of private property, and its inclusion in his final book literally excommunicated him due to pressures from the government. Heck, he died trying to join a Christian group as he felt Russia rejected his own form of Christian teachings.

Because in some way, being an Emperor he was following the same route as Emperor Constantine followed. As when Constantine regarded himself as a follower of certain religious idea then all his empire was also forcefully or unconsciously started accepting the religion of their Emperor and consequently becoming Christians. So in a way, both were similar and this way, Akbar Deen Ilahi (a hybrid religion) might have had the same influence on his empire and his people and therefore a lot of Islamic scholars came to the rescue to save the true teachings of Muhammad’s religion for the coming generations.

Thank you very much, I appreciate you taking the time to write a message about the music :) I'm very glad to hear that you enjoy it!

That movie is far from reality. Akbar was a monster during this early days but later he became sympathetic towards Hindus.

@@AnonymousAlien2099 everyone knows how much Hindus hate muslims. Hate usually comes from fear. And apparently you fear islam. Is it maybe because of how strong and true the ideology is? I know for fact we humans s dont fear of hate weak ideologies we just dont care about them. ISLAM IS STRONG it's not about you or me since we will all die at the end this religion will prevail and proves its self everytime that its here to defeat the devil. Thats why it will either be cherriched or hated.

@@Storytime23144 Hindus didn't start wars with Islam. Islam is a war mongering death cult to brainwash irrational people into believing a non existent entity that commands you to convert other people. I didn't know that you were an Islamic apologist but it's fine since your identity is now disclosed, you're just one of those disgusting people who justify degeneracies just because they are written in your satanic book. Anyway, people are quitting Islam in the Arab World and Central Asian countries. Iran and Turkey have a lot of apostates.

@@Storytime23144 "The Mohammedan Conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization is a precarious thing, whose delicate complex of order and liberty, culture and peace may at any time be overthrown by barbarians invading from without or multiplying within." -- Will Durant

@@Storytime23144 Also you do realize that Akbar was himself an apostate. He has heavily criticized your prophet and he later gave up worshipping the non existent diety called Allah. He started worshipping cows and sun. He established his own religion called Din-E-Ilahi.

thank you for the recommendation.

Lol it still does

I've heard similar rumors about contemporary political leaders, including Muslims ;)

@@justwanderingherenowhere4075 If you look at the different sects in Islam, you'd see different hadiths are accepted or rejected. So, if Bukhari lovers want to call others heretics, its fine, because to others they may be heretics too 😂

"basically on the verge on becoming an 'indian'" indian didnt exist till the british nor did india for that matter akbar was just akbar the lord of the moghal imperium

@@wizardmongol4868 I don't think you understood his point. By Indian,he means culture of the Indian subcontinent

Wait what? you cant be Muslim and Indian? What is an Indian Islam, the Islam Indian Muslims follow, Islam cant change though practises change depending on country, the rules of the faith nor the book changes. Like Indian Muslims wearing red for example is a very Indian thing, but they still follow proper Islam. Muslims arent Indian enough?🙄

@@maryamkidwai2543 presenting yourself as Indian and parallely having a soft corner for Pakistan can't go hand in hand .

@@maryamkidwai2543 Indian Muslims are just followers of central asian culture. Unlike Persians made an Iranian based islamic identity or Turkish has Turkish based identity, Indian Muslims are still in hangover of the invaded central asian identity rather than indian, which are mostly Hindu dharmic. The reason may be they didn't entirely replace Hindus, So the local culture was viewed always(mostly) as an enemy.

@@mariamm7194 He was an enemy of Islam. Peope like Aurangzeb, ISIS, Al Qaeda spread hatred around the world, so that Islam gets a bad name and the mission of daawah is thwarted.

@@mariamm7194 Aungrangzeb was the reason the Mughal empire crumbled. You should read too

@@mariamm7194 But his rule was authoritarian and oppressive, which is why there was resentment against Mughals and led to its crumble when he died. If you administer a country, you have to be fair to all your people. Learn from the Medina Charter.

Not was but it should be is and will always be

Muslims: "Emperor Great has rejected Islam and invented a whole new religion with himself as its god." Great: "My religion is the divine monotheism, submission to God. God is great!" Muslims: "See, he admits it!"

@@TheShadowOfMars hahaaaasssh this made me laugh. thank you

His guru Hare Bure shah Sufi Samad or Norman the nude? Translated Yoga vaasista etc According to Aurangazeb Dara was triculant

Prove it by archeological evidances

@@MotivateMoments2023 lol ..we have

The majority of temples destroyed by Islamic Kings in India were destroyed by the Delhi Sultanate. Aurangzeb destroyed a few and Shah Jahan was forced to destroy some shrines in Varanasi because of immense political pressure but on the whole, Akbar and Jahangir and the emperors after Aurangzeb did not destroy temples. Akbar built a large 7 storey temple in Vrindavan called the Govind Dev Ji Devalaya

@@dwarasamudra8889 bullshit or do you have archeological evidences lol Hahaha Ancient Indian temples without evidence LOL even many mosque that Following the Seljuk-Turkish-Mughal architecture, Hindus want to attribute it to them.

@@MotivateMoments2023 There are lot archeological evidence and textual evidence.You are just an ignorant

He was not a Sufi. He went against Islâm, how can he then be a Sufi? Great Sufis like Imam Rabbani (قدس الله سره) spoke against him.

@Bad Boy And rightly so.

@Bad Boy The mere fact that he tried to compose a new religion other than Islâm.

@Bad Boy Those are orientalist scholars.

@Bad Boy That was not the comment I responded to. I responded to the comment which claims that din-e-ilahi was just a spiritual discipleship program instead of an religion. That in itself is false and it is ideas that have been presented by orientalists. Not Abu'l Fazl.

It is curious that the phrase became basically the standard greeting between initiates in the Din ilahi. But I personally think the meaning behind it is at the very least more nuanced than Akbar simply claiming to be God.

@@LetsTalkReligion As a kid i would think back then, such a phrase was created by Akbar :)

Lol, Akbar means "great", it was a title given to emperor Jalaludin m Mahumad. Allahu Akbar is essential "Allah is great"

It's difficult to get unbiased accounts of Mughal rulers

@Simple Minded I like how quaint your name is, truly simple minded, the best source for Akbar's rule is his court historian abul falzals work "akbarnama", as far as Hindu accounts of Akbar's rule go, they are eulogizing. He is widely considered the best mughal ruler and truly considerate of Hindus.

Yeah there's a bit of an audio issue

Sufis believe in manifestation

Even Rabia adawia was.

you know , no one can go against the emperor regardless of religion if they want to keep their heads safe
