The making of humanity(Book by. Robert Briffault):
it was under their successors at that Oxford school that Roger Bacon learned Arabic
and Arabic science. Neither Roger Bacon nor his later

namesake has any title to be credited with having introduced the experimental method. Roger Bacon was no more than one of the apostles of Muslim science and
method to Christian Europe; and he never wearied of
declaring that a knowledge of Arabic and Arabian science was for his contemporaries the only way to true knowledge.

and those arose directly
and solely as a result of Arabian civilization. Down
to the fifteenth century whatever scientific activity existed
in Europe was engaged in assimilating Arab learning
without greatly adding to it

The history of science and the new humanism(Book by. George Sarton):
perhaps the main, as well as the least obvious, achievement of the Middle Ages, was the creation of the experimental spirit, or more exactly its slow incubation. This was primarily due to Muslims down to the end of the twelfth century

New Researches Into the Composition and Exegesis of the Qoran(Book by. Hartwig Hirschfeld):
We must not be surprised to find the Qoran regarded as the fountain-head of all the sciences

The Essays or Counsels Civil and Moral(Book by. Francis Bacon):
It is true, that a little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
- Of Atheism
- In fact, many experts recognize Ibn al-Haytham, who lived in present-day Iraq between 965 and 1039 A. D, as the founder of the scientific method. He invented the pinhole camera, discovered the laws of refraction and studied a number of natural phenomena, such as rainbows and eclipses.

While I laud your efforts in getting the research done for this video and ultimately making it, if you had dived a little deeper you'd have found out that the Holy Prophet did actually leave a Caliph in charge before his death. None other than Ali, his son-in-law and rightful heir. Also, the reason why the Umayyads were not liked by the people at that time was primarily because of how they treated the family of the Holy Prophet after his death. Specifically with the horrendous and painful events of Karbala in 610 A. D.
The grandson of the Holy Prophet, Hussain was slaughtered mercilessly along with his family and friends by the hands of the Umayyad ruler Yazid. After that, when people got to know about it, that's when dissent started taking place among the populace.

Of course this is told from a Shiite's perspective. And don't you like when they deliberately omit things that don't suit their twisted narratives? I mean, the writers of this film casually ignored that Omar was first to be assassinated, then Uthman was assassinated, then Ali was assassinated, the Hassan was assassinated. Also, the Umayyad's weren't from a different rival clan, they were prophet Muhammed's kins. You do you, Ted-Ed.

shameful. Muslims did not permit people to carry on their religions and cultures. Obviously. Where did the massive numbers of Muslims come from then? It was conversion by the sword. The Sharia demeaned non believers to dhimmis and millions of Hindus were slaughtered - their temples left in rubble, they tore apart Byzantium the seat of eastern Christianity, a trauma to Christendom. Shame on you for this cheap white wash.

Umayyads conquered the entire Iranic, Amazigh, Egyptian, Spanish, Portuguese, Basque, Aramaic, Canaanite peoples but they could t even conquer one Turkic state or tribe because Tengrist nomadic Turkic empires stopped them.
These are;
Danube Bulgars, Turgesh Khaganate, Khazar Khaganate, Second Turkic Khaganate, Alchons, Nezaks and Turk Shahi.

The Umayyad empire did not fall after the Abbasids. It did get reduced to Spain where it thrived for centuries after. I would totally recommend making a video about abd alrahman I. His journey of escaping the Abbasids in Damascus to Spain, where he established a new Umayyad caliphate and the reformers that he instituted

An interesting aspect that the video didn't touch on was the role political infighting had on the Crusades. The region was already in uproar when the first Crusaders arrived, and had there not been so much division, it's unlikely that the poorly-organized European armies would have enjoyed as much success as they did.

0: 30 Muhammed didn't unite them! that was the rashidun caliphs after massive wars against the bedouins in the Arabic peninsula. bedouins mean nomadic it doesn't mean any ethnicity. Muhammad had peace treaty with their leaders but he never united them under his rule at all.

By describing Muhammad as good and assuming that the Umayyad caliphs left non-Muslim subjects to practice their faith in peace, come on this video is very unsubstantiated, and biased, and this is not what we are used to from you, gentlemen.

Rashiduns completely demolished Persia and snatched vital lands from Rome, Umayyads expanded the territory pretty much doubling the size of the Caliphate, and the Abbasids lost it all, no wonder the Ottomans took over the Caliphate

When Muslims loved the adornments of the world that was and is still our downfall. Early generations were successful because the worldly life was just a bridge and they never attached it to their hearts and it was insignificant to them.

Different Empires were mostly tolerant but Sadly those who strictly followed teachings of the Prophet erased a lot of cultures and thats why Sindhu(Indus) River was filled with native Hindu Buddhist and Jain Blood.

This is very thoughtful. Not only did they get a narrator that can pronounce these names accurately but they were considerate about not drawing faces of the prophet and specific companions. Well done!
