The Largest Slave Rebellion Against the Caliphate - ANIMATED HISTORY 

The fact that there are no African bloodlines in Arabia or Iran despite such a long-term and massive importation of slaves tells you all you need to know about what happened to them in the end.

​@johnwolf2829 There are black Arabs in arabia right now, and they're more common than you would think, especially in Saudi Arabia

I would buy patreon buut is there russian or Ukrainian?

@@Qoomi568 I've BEEN there. THe only ones I saw were either guest workers or Americans ... and the American ones certainly did not feel welcome there.

Can you make a video on the Zutt Rebellion too?

not as politically convenient

to be honest slavery was widespread by all humans

because it doesn’t support the “white man bad” narrative

Every place has it, not just the Middle East, even in the time of Jesus

Doesn’t fit with the present day narrative they’re pushing

There were a lot of other major rebellions in Iraq too. Including the Zutt and Qarmatian rebellions.

Well said, from a European, the nuances if history are important even if they don't make good sound bites for politically motivated bad actors.

Well said, from an Asian, its important to not politicize history and rather to critically analyse it and see it from a (most) neutral pov

the zanj rebellion was not a "slave rebellion" but a "black rebellion" (most slaves were loyal to the Abbasid caliphate and fought against the rebellion. the origin of the rebellion origin had nothing to do with slaves. that rebellion was initiated by arabs from the gulf, especially by an Arab called Ali bin Muhammad, who sought to destabilise the abbasid caliphate. first he succeeded in organising a revolt in BAHRAIN (an island that has noting to do with any slaves nor any kind of slavery issues). after the revolt was defeated, the arab Ali bin Muhammad relocated to southern iraq, where he yet again organized a revolt. first, free local arabs assisted the rebellion. only later on, numerous east african migrants (of whom most of them were FREE people), joined the joined the rebellion. most of the slaves during this incident were even on the side of the caliphate and fought AGAINST the rebellion. the distinguishing characteristics in that rebellion was the fact that many free eastern african migrants joined the arab rebellion, because foreign migrants were usually not much interested in involvement of internal arab disputes. so that this rebellion was called as zanji-rebellion. that's the story about it.

@@SafaM-ne8zm I have never stated that the Zanj Rebellion was a ‘slave revolt’, I would also not call it a ‘black revolt’. Everything you stated here has already been discussed, but I will analyse your comment here now. First of all it was a religious revolt (as you stated), it had nothing to do with the colour of the people’s skin or their enslavement, but this obviously being the case that does involve enslaved peoples, makes it quite an interesting subject to study. Obviously most slaves were fighting for the Abbasids, due to them being their overlords. But as I am analysing your text here, you attempt to make it seem like slaves played a minor role, enslaved Bantu ‘Zanj’ people were one of the main contributors to the revolt, of course Arabs also took part in the fighting, but that doesn’t mean the Bantu peoples were insignificant within the revolt. Obviously in Bahrain there were slaves like in any part of the world, that doesn’t excuse it though. You make a weak attempt at trying to downplay the significance of enslaved or freed Bantu peoples.

@@SafaM-ne8zm And again, I have to reiterate, Arabs PLAYED A HUGE ROLE in the revolt, but that doesn’t mean the Bantu peoples didn’t aswell.

Yeah it's a common trap easy to fall in....

this video is fake. everyone knows that slavery only happened in the US white rich white people

Same thing happened in Liberia

​@@stuckupcurlyguy yup. Even when they've suffered horrifically under it, people tend to build power structures like the ones they already know, even unintentionally.

The motivation is the same. People dont want to be slaves regardless of what its called and regardless whether they live in a hut, on a farm, or whatever insignificant detail. They revolt because they are slaves and being treated badly and have no say, thats it.

Slavery continues to be a thing in many places, if one includes trafficked women and children forced into sex work and one should. However, overworked and underpaid isn't slavery, because you are paid even if not paid much. Also you can't be bought, or sold and have the option to change your employer if you find employment elsewhere. (Edit) Thank you for the comments informing me of employees getting their passports confiscated and being force to live and work in inhumane conditions: I didn't know.

It is Sharia

Coup, not a revolt. And the Mamluks continued using other Circassians as slaves.

The Mamluks weren't Slaves, they were a Military Caste

@@Yatagurusu ur just defending them cuz they are not white slave owners, this hipocrisy needs to stop

@@cnm7558 You cant just transpose your own History and apply it to another place, our slavery was a different system, with different social laws, different prejudices, and different problems. That being said mamluks were not even slaves, they were freed upon their release but swore loyalty to their patron. They are as much "slaves" as medieval knights were.

@@Yatagurusu That's an Entymological fallacy. One of the official titles of the Pope is "Slave of the Slaves of God"- does that mean that he is a Slave of the Bishops? The Mamluks called themselves as "Slaves" to the Sultan(whom they would later overthrow) but were not, in reality, slaves Their name might have meant slave, but they weren't slaves- they were nobility. On the contrary, the actual Slaves were called "Ghulam" and lived in far worse conditions than in the Americas.

But the caliphate that we’re talking about used both? I don’t get what point you’re trying to make here since no matter what he’d still have gotten the right one

oh that's alright then. You were one of the good ones. On another note wasn't there mass castration in north africa male for sl@ves precisely to avoid overpopulation and revolts?

@@thedonkey6704 The point is that in islamic society, agricultural slaves and military slaves were two very distinct social classes, which in English are bundled together as both being "slaves". What he is saying is that there should be a clearer distinction in English of what sort of slave is being refered. Thought there's no such word, as there wasn't really a usage of slave warriors in medieval Europe. The word "sclavus", coming from the Medieval practice of enslaving the pagan slavic peoples in the east. (Before this, the Latin term for slave was "Servus", as in servant. The problem here being that by the simple usage of the word slave, one could just end up equating mamluk warriors to chattel slaves working the fields in terms of social status, as they'd all be "slaves".

Slavery in the Islamic world is historically complex and differs significantly from the transatlantic slave trade, which tends to dominate discussions about slavery. Islamic slavery included various forms such as military, domestic, and concubine slavery, with different cultural and legal contexts, making it a more nuanced subject to discuss. Islamic countries had slavery till the XX and sometimes beyond for example slavery existed in the Sultanate of Zanzibar until 1909. Slavery and slave trade existed in the Zanzibar Archipelago for at least a thousand years. There is less accessible research and fewer historical documents about slavery in the Islamic world compared to the transatlantic slave trade, making it harder for scholars and the public to engage with the topic. Slaves in the Islamic world were often acquired through warfare, trade, and piracy. Many were prisoners of war or captured in raids, but there was also a significant number of slaves bought from external regions such as Africa, Central Asia, and Europe. Slaves in Islamic societies often had more varied roles, including positions as soldiers ( Mamluks), administrators, domestic workers, and artisans. Some slaves could achieve high status and even power. Slavery was not strictly racial; slaves came from various ethnic backgrounds including Africans, Europeans, and Asians.

Makes a lot of sense. On occasion I imagine a big flood would wash away the accumulated salt. Climate patterns could have impacted things. Not in the weather sense. Maybe a combination of single crop farming led to the quality of the soil decreasing with less water flow and natural accumulation of salts.

The first anti-slavery law in England was by William I who made it illegal to export slaves from England. Later Edward I (according to an episode of Time Team, though I've not seen it mentioned elsewhere) as part of his legal reforms banned slavery in England.

The Abbassid Caliphate was the direct successor state of the Rashidun and Omeyyad caliphate, making it probably the most legitimate of the many caliphates of the era.

@@TheFireslothshia and later secular it was anything but legitimate

@@okaz1x and every caliphate after was aiming to be recongnised by the abbasid caliphate "saljouk, mamlouk, ayoubid ... )

Allah needed slaves to fulfill prophecy, didn't ya know?

​@@okaz1xwho cares what shias have to say

The west still supports this in Saudi Arabia and Qatar the best Arab allies of America.

What,you mean like asking why is it only whites that are being pressured for repatriations?how dare they be brave enough to ask such a thing

No such thing, people only want to use this to make points about their modern culture war.

@@quadeevans6484 and another thing that is very likely is somebody who doesn’t understand sarcasm responding to the original post

@@michaelsurratt1864 oh wow who could that be I wonder😯?

Get ready for a beat down! Quick! throw down the more controversial thing you can think of! I'll start. Modern music is too repetitive and uninspired. Oh and, vanilla Icecream > Every other flavor Icecream.

The Muslim states that get the most benefits from the west like Qatar and Saudi Arabia have the highest levels of slavery. America doesn’t care about foreign slavery just it’s economic and imperial interests.

Let’s be honest king and generals just hates Muslims.

Not a nitpick.. but you are correct

Qatar and Saudi Arabia are far from impoverished and unstable. Tons of slavery happening there.

Unfortunately slavery is still an issue, Inc in the UK. It is however illegal globally, unlike in the middle ages or indeed much later in the Americas

Slavery is most popular in the Muslim countries that get the most benefit from the US. How ironic America supports these evil dictators…

Happens in every country. The EU had actively used slave labour eg: North Korean Labour camps in Poland. Australia had the same issue until recently with mass abuse of labour agents. America practically has an entire economy based on the exploitation of illegal immigrants.

And you clothes were sewn by slaves, your tech mined by slaves, and your food gathered by slaves. "up into" should be, to the present day.

They were compensated and provided living conditions. Definitely not slaves, people love to throw the word slavery around lmao

@CleverChina You are a slave until you control the means of production. People love to kid themselves that they have literally any measure of control over their lives. You get one choice, serve or starve :)

​@@CleverChinaLOL, is that why their passports were seized and they were unable to leave? Be serious.

@@CedarHunt exactly. To which should be pointed out that for "living conditions" an impressive number of those workers did not stay alive. If they were not slaves, then a forced labor under inhumane conditions while forbidden to leave (and maintained there by force) with a high casualty rate... should we call those places slave factories, or concentration camps ? It has to be either...

It’s talked a lot, it’s just often seen as underrated by traditionally western groups due to feeling “targeted” modern context. It’s great for them to highlight but to say it isn’t talked about is false. It’s one of the main talking points for decades usually linked with anti Islamic rhetoric and justification for many wars.

Its nowhere near talked a lot in the Muslim countries for sure......name me a Muslim which allows educating their Children about the cruelty of slavery and their past linked with Islam.....i know they don't talk about it at all because i live in one such country@@teamjam2863

You mean middle eastern history or west Asian north African should i call European history Christian by your logic

Never heard that Muhammad peace be upon him sold a slave, all the slaves he had were freed, you failed to mention that only way to become a slave are prisoners of . And nearly 13 ways for a slave to be free, one of which in the hand of the slave himself

Never heard that Muhammad peace be upon him sold slaves ... he had 13 slaves in his life (if I remeber correctly) all of which were freed. Before Islam there were dozens of ways for a free man to become slave, and one way for the the slave to become free, Islam flipped that over its head making only one way for a free to become a slave which is prisoner of war and 13 ways for the slave to become free .. one of which is in the hand of the slave himself. So basically Islam was draining out slavery. One of the reasons why the Islamic empire relied a lot on slaves from Africa during its history due to the fact that a slave would get his freedom on average in 7 years (can't remember the source but I can find it for you if you want). Not to mention the rights granted to slaves... one of which if a slave is harmed he is automatically free.... which means all the slaves during the zing revolution were actually free ... there are reasons why the abbasid Era at that time was collapsing ... that is one of them

don't lie, enslaving Free People Is Haram, Only The War Of Prisoners Were Taken As Slaves.

😂 nice islamophobs 😂 hazrat Muhammad sallallahu Salam never bought slave or enslave free human being, only the war of prisoners are allowed to take it as a slaves .

​@@cewolf78 taqiyya. Bilal is freed after momo death. It's abu bakar who freed bilal. If you know nothing about your book, don't understand old arabic and just BELIEVE pro pa ganda from your imam, better don't talk. Because ppl like me who already read these inhumane book + shahih hadits will called you out

Cope 🤡🤡💀

@figarooobarberofseville8623 You can choose to be ignorant, but a clown is even funnier.

Quit lying Abdul

@clay119 Statements I made are easily variable. History testified of my truthfulness. But you, on the other hand, is just another clown.

@@samimas4343 ur the only one ignorant over here!! 🤡🤡 Entire internet ina lauging at chu!!

Why would we need indentured servitude. The atlantic slave trade had racial hierarchy. Where black slaves were subhuman and white slaves were called indentured servents and were recognised as human. This was never an issue in Islamic slavery. No one ever suggested that slaves were subbumans. Slaves, in theory, had access to the court and were entitled to protection from the caliph and could negotiate their own release. Now in reality, the rich always exploit the poor and ignore the "rights" of the poor. But this happened for indentured servents as well.

😂😂 Whats problem of islam with slaves?

They're not the founders of Islam. Learn more.

Nation of Christianty should learn about the first slavery happen in England

@@susilotriatmojo8144 It's you who displayed your ignorance. Nation of Islam is a radical Black organization in USA, claiming to be Muslim.

The Nation of Islam is a weird gaggle of heretics who believe, even by religious standards, the weirdest things.

Actually slavery started millennia before trans-Atlantic slaves trade all over the world, and no, t it has its own infrastructure, and by no mean it was an offshoot, nice try

@@TheAmrthe2nd Stupid arguments used to downplay Arab slave trade. It was systematic and institutional system of slavery. And the Trans-Atlantic slave trade DID use its infrastructure to get itself started.

😂😂 just take accountability. It’ll be okay bro, people make mistakes and can’t blame the other man for it. Accept yours.

“SEE IT WAS THE MOOOOSLUMS THAT STARTED IT WE AREN’T THAT BAD ONES”🤣🤣

You folks do realize that the European slave traders we're just one part of a multinational slave trade, right? And guess what other culture was knee deep in said trade? I'll give you a hint, it's the one in this video.

They will make the Arabs white.

Hollywood: *Gets the idea but instead makes another Spartacus movie and casts a black guy to for the role of Spartacus* 😂

So even the Islamic Caliphates can't follow the teachings of Islam....whats the point of following Islam in the first place?

@@azmainfaiak8111 Its not that that they cant follow but there is financial benefits from slavery. By the way, Islamic caliphate is a historic term used to describe the entities in which the leader was Muslim.

​@@azmainfaiak8111you fool, you judge a religion by scripture not by its people action.

The supposed last religion...

😮never surprised by Christian stupidity

Quran- , it provides regulations designed to improve the situation of slaves, and recommends freeing them, especially "believing" slaves. The Qur'an also recognizes slavery as a source of injustice, and places the freeing of slaves on the same level as feeding the poor.

Islam puts the level of freeing slaves to the level of feeding the poor in the Quran.

You guys are just Islamophobes with no knowledge of the Torah, Bible, or Quran.

There is nothing called Islamic slavery, it is just slavery

Can you please enlightenment and tell me the difference between "Islamic" slavery and other forms of slavery that was practiced almost everywhere in the world till very recently and how it has continued till today.

why you blaming Islam it's people fault not religion 😊

@@abdibgm5748 Islamic slavery ie. slavery practiced in the Islamic world. Compare it to European slavery. And it's continued to this day in places like the gulf country, where chattel slavery has been outlawed, yet the governments of these countries (namely Qatar and UAE) still exploit desperate workers from poorer countries to work menial jobs (construction, cleaning, etc) all the while having to sign exploitative contracts that can be described as nothing but debt bondage.(The act of forcing labour on someone out of financial debt), all the while being paid slave wages (considered great in these poor people's eyes, but absolutely nothing to the income of native Arabs) and given awful accomodations. A simple research on the Qatar olympics will tell you much about working conditions of these foreign workers, too. The estimates of how many workers died to build the stadiums... In the meantime, the now minority native population of Arabs lives luxoriously with no taxes and all the luxories you can see in social media. The slaver culture hasn't died in this land, unfortunately, it has only adapted to modern times, times that do not tolerate the term "slave". So, they no longer attempt to own people as propriety, isntead they permanently accquire workers.

there is slavery in almost every country in the world, it exists everywhere, its more commom in africa and asia, noy becouse some inherent thing in their religion but becouse poverty, authoritarianism and imperialidm which effect those regions. but slavery does not only exist there, the US still has legal slavery, south america has thousands of slaves, it exists in europe too, tho not as much as the rest of the world (becouse we have our slaves in other continents than europe)

Until islam showed up, now you're slaves to a fictional book instead of Arabs. The pen is indeed mighter than the sword

@@Dr.MorsIcatis alhamdullilah for islam.

@@abdiastar6451 Somalis were arab slaves

​@@Dr.MorsIcatis pure lies. We are proud Muslims and Ethiopians are majority Christian so what are you yapping about

Somalis and Ethiopians have nothing to do with Zanj

I'm from Bahrain, what slavery do we have now?

No they didn't

Yeah they did that with agricultural slaves / subsaharan africans to prevent them from procreating

They did. With a death rate of nearly 80%.

Eunuchs were a specific type of slave for very specific jobs. You wouldn't castrate labour slaves or slave soldiers, cause there isn't really a purpose to it and the high mortality rate means they would have killed a ton of slaves for literally nothing. Also castration was technically against the law in the domains of the Abbasids, so the actual castration of the slaves was often done by Christian monasteries (for example in the ERE) who then sold the slaves to the Abbasids.

Not all slaves. It was also practiced in the christian world for choir boys. Search for eunuchs and castrato
