With the birth of The Prophet Muhammad and the Rise of Islam, the early Islamic Conquest begins. In a matter of 100 years the nascent Muslim state grows from the city state of Medina to encompass Mecca and a majority of the Middle East. Soon the young nation takes on the superpowers of its day - the Byzantine and the Persians. The stage is set for one of the greatest conquests in history.

Quick question, If we consider the shia narrations, why did ALi not rebel under the earlier caliphs if he was someone against them? Why did he fought against the apostates under Abu Bakr and served as Chief Judge under Umar. Why did he send his two children to protect Uthman?

I’d say Khalid is the best general in history. Alexander is the closest in 2nd but he inherited a well equipped kingdom. Khalid was working with a startup without any venture capital. Hannibal and Caesar is great but he’s only famous for a few battles and then he lost at the end. Khalid went on like a hundred battle winning streak against his fellow Arabs, then against the Persians and Romans. It’s true that Muslims will try to take credit for Khalid’s victories even though we’re sitting on our asses eating junk food. But it doesn’t change the fact that he’s objectively the top general in history. The Muslims of today have dropped the ball and they’re watching too much porn.

great video!! as a muslim from the heart of islam (saudi arabia) i would like to say there are a couple of honest mistakes (probably english sources) but the one i want to point out is when omar basically benched khalid. it wasn't because he didn't like him or because of rivalry, in fact Omar appreciated him so much he was afraid that the people would start thinking the wars are being won because of khalid not because of allah. if you think about it the same thing happened when the prophet died, the people thought islam died with him so they revolted and omar was avoiding a similar situation. in summary, it was actually a good and smart move. again, great video! can't wait to watch ep 2

I’m glad you like the series thus far! Yes it’s been challenging to do the research for this - and it only becomes even more so as the sources become more biased with time. When you get to the first and then the second fitna it becomes very difficult to know precisely what went down. Either way, thank you for the kind words - I look forward to hearing what you think of the rest of the series.

I faced the same problem with the biased sources, i found it hard to follow my favourite commander khalid bin al-waleed. the bias in sources is heavily shown in your second episode because a handful of the information in it contradicts the common consensus in most of the middle east. i'm not trying to undermine your work, you obvioulsy worked very hard but it is a very difficult and complicated subject especially since most sources would be in arabic. i appreciate the effort you are doing and in support of it i would like to offer you my services free of charge. even if it was for a word pronouncation.

They simply mention it as some sort of a mule, not quite a horse or anything commonly seen. The details of wings were fabricated later on.

Nabi Karim Muhammed Mustafa (sas) was illerate. He did not write any of the Quran. He recited the words to his followers. It is well documented history that he was illiterate. 9 out of 12 of the Jewish tribes in Madinah accepted Islam. The other tribes were banished b/c they tried to kill him and they committed trachery when thet turned their backs on the muslims when they were attached by the pagans of Makkah. Islam is not a new religion. Islam is means peace acquired by submitting to the will of the Creator. Jesus pbuh was muslim. Moses, John the Baptist, Moses, Abraham, Noah, Adam (pbut) were all muslims. A muslim is someone who submits his/her will to the will of The Almighty Creator.

THANK YOU for visiting Mexico. You have so far amazed me with a history of Spain that is not normally taught in Mexico. Looking forward to the Isabella episode. Outstanding job! Hope to see more battle plans and formations. Kudos, hombre! Just one inaccuracy: Muhammad didn't just "vanish" the 3 Jewish tribes of Medina, he expellled the Banu Nadir, supposedly after a plot to assassinate him that the angel Gabriel "discovered", the Banu Qainuqa were threatened with conversion or death and let go with only the shirts on their backs due to the pleading of Ibn Abd-Allah Ubayy , and latter, the Banu Qurayza were "vanished" by way of decapitation of all the males (600 to 900 men and one woman) and the enslavement and selling of the survivors. The event is well attested to in the Islamic historical tradition, and has served as the basis for multiple rulings throughout history dealing with the treatment of captured non-Muslims by Muslim military forces.

16:56 the banishing of the Jewish tribes came much later on, initially Muhammad (PBUH) wrote a constitution between all the tribes including the jews that if an external force threatened Yathrib they would work together to defend it, and when the last jewish tribe in Yathrib broke it much later on, they were defeated in the battle of khaybar.

When the Muslims flee to Medina/Yathrib on Hijrah, they left all their properties and belongings in Mecca. So, the Mecca Quraisy took all these Muslims properties, wealth, and belongings that left out and plan to sell everything in Syam and get the profits for themselves. The Muslims in Medina knew about this and plan to take back their belongings by raiding the convoy. That is how it goes. Islam never allowed Muslims to steal anything for whatever reasons. It is a sin.

Really interesting and informative video, just a couple of things I noticed, it seems some sources you used have a Persian or Shia influence. For example, the Buraq (the beast that took Muhammad up to heaven etc) is only known to me as a winged horse, the having a human head doesn't seem to pop up in Arabic sources but does pop up in more modern artwork specifically Persian (from what I can gather from the writing used in some artwork). Also, having Umar being intimated by Khalid's popularity as the reason for him benching him is well known in Shia circles (as they don't really like Umar that much) but not so much in Sunni sources. Of course there's always a risk of bias especially in older texts and made much more difficult not having access to them (due to language etc). But I would say, the non-arab sources you used seem rather consistent with the Arab sources I am familiar with and not as obviously biased as some others I've read (biased enough to actually lie about what a certain person said that is completely contrary to the Arabic version, and it wasn't even about a very important person), we call them Mustashriqeen (the 'orientalists'?), Which were westerners who were known to gather a lot of info about our history and some of them misconstrued or even lied about our history and fed that back to the west which lead into the whole 'muslims are bad and barbaric' that you still see in some modern day depictions. some of them were more fair in their depictions of early Islamic Arabia. What matters the most is the truth which is something exceedingly hard to acquire when talking about history with all the biases you'll see in older texts and not knowing what is and isn't biased, it's really difficult even for myself, but you're doing a wonderful job. If ever you need any source translated or looked into I'll gladly help, just drop me a line, I'm no expert in history but my Arabic is above average lol Ps: Khalid bin Alwaleed was definitely a badass

Wow. What a coincidence. Those of us who are not amateurs in the field of history find this approach very disingenuous.

the reason why Khalid was called back from the battlefield was that he won too many battles and people started to revere him, and the Caliph worry that the people might turn to blasphemy by doing idolatry, as they were before they convert to Islam. and thus, he was recalled. Then the Caliph sent his replacement, but Khalid still commanded the various battle in the shadow. Effectively killing 2 birds with one stone, maintaining public order and winning battles.

There are a couple of things I would like to point out. First of all, any kind of robbing is forbidden in Islam. The caravan raiding you talked about was done for the following reasons. First of all, when the Muslims escaped Mecca with their lives, they left behind a lot of wealth and merchandise which the Meccan leaders confiscated and and were going to sell to foreign markets. And most of those caravans consisted of the very goods which belonged to the Muslims. The Muslims were living in dire poverty in Madina. And secondly, not all Muslims had left Mecca in the first go. So many were still in Mecca facing persecution. Also, many had left family members behind in Mecca who had not converted to Islam. But because of their rebellious family members, they were also facing persecution. And, after persecuting and torturing them, the Meccans were also selling a lot of Muslims and non-Muslim family members of escaped Muslims in slavery to foreign markets. They were also the merchandise in the raided caravans. So by raiding them, the Muslims not only got their wealth back, but they also freed their family members and fellow brethren. Second thing I was going to talk about Khalid Bin Walid and Umar Bin Khattab. But I just saw that someone else already talked about it. So I'll just say that they both had great respect for each other since they were both warriors. And there were no hard feelings whatsoever. And when Khalid Bin Walid was called back, Umar Ibn Khattab clearly explained to him that the reason why He was not general anymore and Khalid Bin Walid understood. Thank you so much for the unbiased information. I enjoyed it a lot.

Arians were an early branch of christianity that was a persecuted minority under Heraclius. Mohammed is basically saying that rejecting the salvation of Islam means that Heraclius will not be forgiven for his sin of persecuting the Arians on the day of judgement. It's unknown why Mohammed highlighted the Arians like this but he possibly believed that their beliefs were closer to Islam since both Arians and Muslims reject the Nicean trinity.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas: Abu Sufyan bin Harb informed me that Heraclius had sent a messenger to him while he had been accompanying a caravan from Quraish. They were merchants doing business in Sham (Syria, Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan), at the time when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had truce with Abu Sufyan and Quraish infidels. So Abu Sufyan and his companions went to Heraclius at Ilya (Jerusalem). Heraclius called them in the court and he had all the senior Roman dignitaries around him. He called for his translator who, translating Heraclius's question said to them, "Who amongst you is closely related to that man who claims to be a Prophet?" Abu Sufyan replied, "I am the nearest relative to him (amongst the group)." Heraclius said, "Bring him (Abu Sufyan) close to me and make his companions stand behind him." Abu Sufyan added, Heraclius told his translator to tell my companions that he wanted to put some questions to me regarding that man (The Prophet) and that if I told a lie they (my companions) should contradict me." Abu Sufyan added, "By Allah! Had I not been afraid of my companions labeling me a liar, I would not have spoken the truth about the Prophet. The first question he asked me about him was: 'What is his family status amongst you?' I replied, 'He belongs to a good (noble) family amongst us.' Heraclius further asked, 'Has anybody amongst you ever claimed the same (i.e. to be a Prophet) before him?' I replied, 'No.' He said, 'Was anybody amongst his ancestors a king?' I replied, 'No.' Heraclius asked, 'Do the nobles or the poor follow him?' I replied, 'It is the poor who follow him.' He said, 'Are his followers increasing decreasing (day by day)?' I replied, 'They are increasing.' He then asked, 'Does anybody amongst those who embrace his religion become displeased and renounce the religion afterwards?' I replied, 'No.' Heraclius said, 'Have you ever accused him of telling lies before his claim (to be a Prophet)?' I replied, 'No. ' Heraclius said, 'Does he break his promises?' I replied, 'No. We are at truce with him but we do not know what he will do in it.' I could not find opportunity to say anything against him except that. Heraclius asked, 'Have you ever had a war with him?' I replied, 'Yes.' Then he said, 'What was the outcome of the battles?' I replied, 'Sometimes he was victorious and sometimes we.' Heraclius said, 'What does he order you to do?' I said, 'He tells us to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to worship anything along with Him, and to renounce all that our ancestors had said. He orders us to pray, to speak the truth, to be chaste and to keep good relations with our Kith and kin.' Heraclius asked the translator to convey to me the following, I asked you about his family and your reply was that he belonged to a very noble family. In fact all the Apostles come from noble families amongst their respective peoples. I questioned you whether anybody else amongst you claimed such a thing, your reply was in the negative. If the answer had been in the affirmative, I would have thought that this man was following the previous man's statement. Then I asked you whether anyone of his ancestors was a king. Your reply was in the negative, and if it had been in the affirmative, I would have thought that this man wanted to take back his ancestral kingdom. I further asked whether he was ever accused of telling lies before he said what he said, and your reply was in the negative. So I wondered how a person who does not tell a lie about others could ever tell a lie about Allah. I, then asked you whether the rich people followed him or the poor. You replied that it was the poor who followed him. And in fact all the Apostle have been followed by this very class of people. Then I asked you whether his followers were increasing or decreasing. You replied that they were increasing, and in fact this is the way of true faith, till it is complete in all respects. I further asked you whether there was anybody, who, after embracing his religion, became displeased and discarded his religion. Your reply was in the negative, and in fact this is (the sign of) true faith, when its delight enters the hearts and mixes with them completely. I asked you whether he had ever betrayed. You replied in the negative and likewise the Apostles never betray. Then I asked you what he ordered you to do. You replied that he ordered you to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to worship any thing along with Him and forbade you to worship idols and ordered you to pray, to speak the truth and to be chaste. If what you have said is true, he will very soon occupy this place underneath my feet and I knew it (from the scriptures) that he was going to appear but I did not know that he would be from you, and if I could reach him definitely, I would go immediately to meet him and if I were with him, I would certainly wash his feet.' Heraclius then asked for the letter addressed by Allah's Apostle which was delivered by Dihya to the Governor of Busra, who forwarded it to Heraclius to read. The contents of the letter were as follows: "In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful (This letter is) from Muhammad the slave of Allah and His Apostle to Heraclius the ruler of Byzantine. Peace be upon him, who follows the right path. Furthermore I invite you to Islam, and if you become a Muslim you will be safe, and Allah will double your reward, and if you reject this invitation of Islam you will be committing a sin by misguiding your Arisiyin (peasants). (And I recite to you Allah's Statement:) 'O people of the scripture! Come to a word common to you and us that we worship none but Allah and that we associate nothing in worship with Him, and that none of us shall take others as Lords beside Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims (those who have surrendered to Allah).' (3:64). Abu Sufyan then added, "When Heraclius had finished his speech and had read the letter, there was a great hue and cry in the Royal Court. So we were turned out of the court. I told my companions that the question of Ibn-Abi-Kabsha) (the Prophet (ﷺ) Muhammad) has become so prominent that even the King of Bani Al-Asfar (Byzantine) is afraid of him. Then I started to become sure that he (the Prophet) would be the conqueror in the near future till I embraced Islam (i.e. Allah guided me to it)." The sub narrator adds, "Ibn An-Natur was the Governor of llya' (Jerusalem) and Heraclius was the head of the Christians of Sham. Ibn An-Natur narrates that once while Heraclius was visiting ilya' (Jerusalem), he got up in the morning with a sad mood. Some of his priests asked him why he was in that mood? Heraclius was a foreteller and an astrologer. He replied, 'At night when I looked at the stars, I saw that the leader of those who practice circumcision had appeared (become the conqueror). Who are they who practice circumcision?' The people replied, 'Except the Jews nobody practices circumcision, so you should not be afraid of them (Jews). 'Just Issue orders to kill every Jew present in the country.' While they were discussing it, a messenger sent by the king of Ghassan to convey the news of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to Heraclius was brought in. Having heard the news, he (Heraclius) ordered the people to go and see whether the messenger of Ghassan was circumcised. The people, after seeing him, told Heraclius that he was circumcised. Heraclius then asked him about the Arabs. The messenger replied, 'Arabs also practice circumcision.' (After hearing that) Heraclius remarked that sovereignty of the 'Arabs had appeared. Heraclius then wrote a letter to his friend in Rome who was as good as Heraclius in knowledge. Heraclius then left for Homs. (a town in Syrian and stayed there till he received the reply of his letter from his friend who agreed with him in his opinion about the emergence of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the fact that he was a Prophet. On that Heraclius invited all the heads of the Byzantines to assemble in his palace at Homs. When they assembled, he ordered that all the doors of his palace be closed. Then he came out and said, 'O Byzantines! If success is your desire and if you seek right guidance and want your empire to remain then give a pledge of allegiance to this Prophet (i.e. embrace Islam).' (On hearing the views of Heraclius) the people ran towards the gates of the palace like onagers but found the doors closed. Heraclius realized their hatred towards Islam and when he lost the hope of their embracing Islam, he ordered that they should be brought back in audience. (When they returned) he said, 'What already said was just to test the strength of your conviction and I have seen it.' The people prostrated before him and became pleased with him, and this was the end of Heraclius's story (in connection with his faith).

May I give my two cents regarding the letter Muhammad allegedly wrote to Heraclius?. The letter does not read "Arians' sins". That would make no sense.

Meaning, Heraclius would be misleading his subjects if he did not accept Muhammad's offer.

Bear the sin of the Arians? Arianism was an early offsplit within Christianity. It regarded Jesus Christ as "created by God" and therefore not divine. Orthodox Christianity regards Christ AS (a form of) God and/ or equal to God (doctrine of the trinity). The Byzantine emperors were staunchly anti-Arian. Mohammed implies that to turn away from his teachings is a refusal of divine inspiration equal to the Christology of Arianism. He appeals to the emperor´s distaste for heresy. Fun fact: Arianism is, in its Christology, closer to Islam than Orthodox Christianity.

Iqra This word is used to mean two things: 1.Reading from a written text. This is the meaning that people may think of in the first instance, as in the verse in which Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “(It will be said to him): "Read your book. You yourself are sufficient as a reckoner against you this Day’” [al-Isra’ 17:14]. 2. Recitation from memory (i.e., something that one has learned by heart). This refers to recitation only, without looking at anything written. Examples of that include the passage in which Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “It is for Us to collect it and to give you (O Muhammad) the ability to recite it (the Qu’ran), And when We have recited it to you (O Muhammad, through Jibrael (Gabriel)), then follow its (the Quran’s) recital.” [al-Qiyaamah 75:17,18]. It is well known that Jibreel (peace be upon him) used to recite the Qur’an to the Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), not from a book. Further examples can be seen in the verses in which Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “So when you want to recite the Quran, seek refuge with Allah from Shaitan (Satan), the outcast (the cursed one)” [an-Nahl 16:98] “And when you (Muhammad SAW) recite the Quran, We put between you and those who believe not in the Hereafter, an invisible veil (or screen their hearts, so they hear or understand it not)” [al-Isra’ 17:45] “And (it is) a Quran which We have divided (into parts), in order that you might recite it to men at intervals. And We have revealed it by stages. (in 23 years)” [al-Isra’ 17:106]. All of these verses describe the Prophet’s recitation of the holy book as qiraa’ah (lit. reading), even though he (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was unlettered and could not read from books; rather he recited from his memory that which Allah had enabled him to learn by heart. This is how we should understand the passage in which Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists), Has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood). Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous” [al-‘Alaq 96:1-3]. We should understand it as meaning that he was commanded to recite from memory, and to recite the words that Jibreel (peace be upon him) would teach him. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) responded by saying, “I am not a reader,” i.e., I do not know how to read from a book, so how can I read something that I have not memorized and that I do not know? Shaykh ‘Atiyyah Saalim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Qiraa’ah (reading or reciting) means making manifest and causing to stand out, as it may be said concerning a she-camel, lam taqra’ janeenan (she did not bring forth any young), i.e., she did not produce any offspring. We previously referred to the Shaykh’s explanation of the linguistic meaning. There is no contradiction in the fact that the command to read or recite was addressed to an unlettered Prophet, because reading or reciting may be from a written text or it may be something recited from memory. In this case it was something to be recited from memory that which Jibreel (peace be upon him) recited to him. This further highlights the miracle, because the one who was unlettered yesterday became a teacher today. The context indicates both meanings of qiraa’ah as it mentions reading or reciting along with teaching by the pen (v. 4) End quote from Tatimmah Adwa’ al-Bayaan fi Eedaah al-Qur’an bi’l-Qur’an, 9/13 Al-‘Allaamah Taahir ibn ‘Ashoor (may Allah have mercy on him) says: The word “Iqra’ (read or recite)” is a command to read or recite. This word refers to speaking particular words that are either written or memorized by heart. The command to read or recite may be an instruction to do so immediately or in the future. What is being requested in the word “Iqra’” is to read or recite immediately or in the near future (near in relation to the point in time at which this command was given), i.e., to say that which is going to be recited to him. What may indicate that this was an instruction to recite in the near future was the fact that it was not preceded by the dictation of some words to him so that he could memorize them and then be asked to recite them, nor was he given a page and asked to read from it. This is like when a teacher says to his student, “Write”, so he gets ready to write what is going to be dictated to him. In the hadeeth in as-Saheehayn from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: … (This went on) until the truth came to him when he was in the cave of Hiraa’. The angel came and said, “Read (or recite)!” He (the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)) said: “I said: ‘I am not a reader.’ Then he took hold of me and squeezed me until I could not bear it any more, then he released me and said, ‘Read!’ I said, ‘I am not a reader.’ He took hold of me and squeezed me a second time until I could not bear it any more, then he released me and said, ‘Read!’ I said, ‘I am not a reader.’ He took hold of me and squeezed me a third time until I could not bear it any more, then he released me and said: ‘Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created (all that exists) … He has taught man that which he knew not.’ [al-‘Alaq 96:1-5].” This hadeeth was narrated by ‘Aa’ishah from the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), because she says: He said: “I said: ‘I am not a reader.’” Everything that she mentioned in this report is undoubtedly what she narrated from him. And in this report she said: Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went back with them, his heart beating wildly, i.e., he went back with the verses that had been dictated to him; in other words, he went back with them still in his memory. This indicates that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) had received what had been revealed to him, and he recited it at that time. That is made clearer by what she says in the hadeeth: Then Khadeejah took him to Waraqah ibn Nawfal, and Khadeejah said to him: O son of my uncle, listen to what your nephew says - i.e., listen to the words that have been revealed to him. This indicates when it was said to the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) after the third squeezing, “Read! In the Name of your Lord”, i.e., the five verses (from the beginning of Soorat al-‘Alaq), he recited them at that moment as Allah had commanded him, and he went back from the cave of Hira’ to his home reciting them. It was in this sense that the angel said to him on the three occasions “Iqra’ (read or recite),” repeating the phrase that had been revealed by Allah, and it was a repetition intended to put him at ease with a recitation that he had not learned before. No object is mentioned for the verb “read” (or “recite”), either because it came in the form of an intransitive verb; or it was because what was to be read or recited was clear from the context, and what was meant was: recite what We are going to send down to you of the Qur’an. End quote from at-Tahreer wa’t-Tanweer, 30/435 To sum up, the command to read or recite in this verse, “Read! In the Name of your Lord”, does not refer to reading from a written page; rather it refers to reciting from memory something that he had learned. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) replied that he was unlettered and had not memorized anything from a book before that. But Jibreel taught him the first verses of Soorat al-‘Alaq so that he could read them, i.e., memorize them and recite them after that. And Allah knows best.

Like many have said, well researched despite a few errors of concern. The Wahi or revelation was not written in the early days, Muhammed ﷺ was unlettered, and the Arabs were overwhelmingly an oral tradition. The Quran and sunnah were preserved in speech until they began to be officially collated. The collation of Quran and Sunnah are a science and history of their own. We also have a fairly comprehensive view of the Prophet ﷺ early life, for example his early days raised with Haleema May Allah be pleased with her amongst the Banu Saad. This actually contributed to his eloquence as the people there spoke a purer form of Arab rather than the dilution of bigger cities. Finally a note that is not a correction but rather an addition, it’s interesting to note that Islams omission of distinction between races as superior aided the Muslims greatly. This can be seen seeking refuge by the delegation to Abyssinia or the fact that AFAIK, the trench was an idea from Salman Al Farisi, who came from Faris (Persia) and was the son of an affluent Zoroastrian. Now on to finish the video I had to get those off my chest.

One of the best narration, voice and literacy. Need to mention at 17:10 , Muhammed s.a.v.s. and his friends did not raiding the caravans. Trading was rare as there was no enough goods for regular trades. Wheat does not grow in the desert and one caravan needs minimum 60 days to go and return back, also this is why it is impossible to raid the "caravans". The people of Mecca seized the belongings of the refugees and those who did hijra. When Muhammed a.s. has gone from the Mecca he left behind his nephew Ali r.a. to return all wealth which was guarded by the trusted Muhammed s.a.v.s to the people of Mecca. Which he done and then he left Mecca empty handed. They did not do the same to those which was fly to Medina. Peaceful negotiations between 2 sideds did not pass well. That is why people of Mecca sent so many soldiers to protect the one and only one large caravan with stolen and captured property of those who are committed the hijra. But, instead of capturing their wealth back, it will result as first battle in the history of Islam, battle of Badr. All wealth was lost as the caravan managed to pass Muhammed s.a.v.s. and his followers unnoticed in both directions. Allah the Greatest knows the best.

Brother,I've been listening to various of your works,with somewhat good cheer as you possess good reason,and extensive knowledge about world histories,but I need to point out a few small infractions on this very commentary which you either did it on purpose,or lack of knowledge,begining with Mohamed,in which you said that when he started to have his revelations,you said that he wrote them down? Mohamed was illiterate,and never did write down a single line,in fact the Koran,and Haddith were both written years after his death! The part in which you recount his so called acension to heaven in Jerusalem,that's a real suspect occurrance,which is disputed highly! And it is believed that he never did visit Jerusalem,spiritually,or otherwise!

I am amazed at the depth and breadth of your knowledge Timeline in Medina The person responsible for Muslim defeat in Ahad was Khaled bin Waleed from Quraish side Khalid bin Waleed accepted Islam in 8th Hijri or so and did not fight for Muslims in Ahzab war which I think was in 5 th Hijri When prophet came to medina he had a pact with Jews and locals called pact of Medina They were banished I think after battle of trench Also at the time of prophet,s death the ascension problem was between local Ansars and Quraish. (Not Ali or non Ali) This issue started I think later and people used Ali,s name. Fatima the daughter of prophet and wife of Ali only survived 6 months after his death. There are many versions of rivalry between Umer and Khalid Both were growing up together in Mecca. Umer was a great fighter and wrestler. I think Khalid beat him in wrestling. As per some historians, Muslims start to believe that Khalid bin Waleed was becoming an icon who would bring victory for Muslims. Umer wanted to dispel that believe as victory is brought by Allah and not Khalid. And that was the reason for demotion. (I don’t agree with Umer RZAH on this as humans are a moving force) Overall your historical grasp is great And I learned a lot from the podcast
