- Well done, Yazid!
- Well done, Yazid!

3
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,480
You can surrender if you don't
want your soldiers to see you defeated

4
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,680
And miss out the honor of fighting
the Commander of the Faithful?

5
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,200
Long live the
Commander of the Faithful!

6
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,560
Long live the
Commander of the Faithful!

7
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,680
Get ready to lead the
army to Constantinople

8
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,440
"Episode 21"

9
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:19,640
Mail must reach all provinces
as quickly as possible

10
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:22,120
for, we don't have enough time

11
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,000
Rally the spirits of the
youth in all Islamic provinces

12
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,920
to reinforce their
brothers at Constantinople

13
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,840
may they be victorious
by virtue of Allah

14
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,440
Send letters using
the urgent mail

15
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,200
for, your brothers in
Chalcedon are in dire need

16
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,640
and you're their
only hope after Allah

17
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,080
in Egypt, Mecca, Medina

18
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,440
Yemen and Iraq

19
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,040
Muhajireen and Ansar of
the city of Allah's Messenger

20
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,040
You've heard...

21
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,680
the command of our Commander
Mu'awiya Ibn Abi Sufyan

22
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,320
which was read to you by the
Governor of Medina Sa'id Ibn Al-As

23
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:31,360
in which he calls upon you to aid your
brothers who're sieging Constantinople

24
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,600
Let it be known to all

25
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,120
that I'm heading out
tomorrow to Damascus

26
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:42,240
to join the army that Mu'awiya is
raising to advance to Constantinople

27
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,320
Whoever wants to accompany
me should be ready for tomorrow

28
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,600
You're not worthier of merit
more than us, Ibn Aba Bakr

29
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,480
nor more keen to be rewarded

30
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:52,840
I'll accompany you tomorrow

31
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,280
- Allah bless you, Son of
Al-Farouq - Me too, uncle

32
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,920
Don't deny me the reward and
the privilege of your companionship

33
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,000
May Allah reward you
well Son of Al-Zubayr

34
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,080
May Allah reward you
well Son of Al-Zubayr

35
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,320
- We are all going...
- All of us...

36
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,600
- We are all going
- To Constantinople

37
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,280
We are still in the first day

38
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,680
Indeed, most of them are
your uncles' family, Bani Kalb

39
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,040
Who's more worthy than the
Yemenis to answer the call?

40
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,360
May Allah bless all

41
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,040
Today, also...

42
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,200
Egypt's men arrived
they're many and increasing

43
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,760
Their leader is Abdullah
Ibn Amr Ibn Al-As

44
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,560
May Allah be merciful
to your uncle, Utba

45
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,200
If he was alive, he would
have lead the army himself

46
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,640
May Allah be merciful to him

47
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,760
Who's that knight who's
approaching as if he's a falcon

48
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,920
Peace and Allah's mercy
and blessings be upon you

49
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:20,520
Peace and Allah's mercy
and blessings be upon you

50
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,160
Welcome, Aba Ayoub Al Ansari

51
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,840
Welcome, Companion of Allah's
Messenger peace be upon him

52
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,600
May Allah reward
you well, Mu'awiya

53
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,320
for revering the Companions
of Allah's Messenger

54
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,920
Come Yazid greet
this noble Companion

55
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,480
Welcome, Companion
of Allah's Messenger

56
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,360
To what we owe the honor
of meeting you, Aba Ayoub?

57
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,840
Fighting for the sake
of Allah, Mu'awiya

58
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,760
It's come to my attention
that you're raising an army...

59
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,000
to advance to Constantinople

60
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,200
May Allah keep you healthy Aba
Ayoub I know that you're a fighter

61
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,760
since the first day Allah's Messenger
settled in your house until Uthman's death

62
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,240
We need your blissful presence
more than we need you as a fighter

63
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,880
for we have enough
middle-aged and youth fighters

64
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,880
I won't abstain from advancing
to Constantinople, Mu'awiya

65
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,320
when Allah's Messenger
peace upon him, said...

66
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,160
"The first army amongst my followers
who will invade Caesar's City..."

67
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,680
"will be forgiven
for their sins"

68
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,680
O Allah, make us among those who
are forgiven and supported by Your victory

69
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,800
Peace be upon our
Commander and his companions

70
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,360
Peace and Allah's mercy
and blessing be upon you

71
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,640
Aba Ayoub Al Ansari

72
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,920
Peace be upon the
Companion of Allah's messenger

73
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,480
Peace and Allah's mercy
and blessing be upon you

74
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,560
- What news do you have?
- At the walls of Damascus...

75
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,280
there are crowds from Medina
Commander of the Faithful

76
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,600
Who's more deserving than Medina's
people to answer the call to Jihad?

77
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,720
Especially the sons
of the Companions

78
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,520
Welcome, Quraysh
Leaders of Arabs

79
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,400
My maternal and paternal
uncles have arrived, Yazid

80
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,040
Who exceeds Quraysh in
glory Commander of the Faithful?

81
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,680
Praise be to Allah for placing
Companions of the Messenger in our army

82
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,600
Welcome them as they
deserve Go ahead, Aba Ayoub

83
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,240
Praise be to Allah
who unified us in truth

84
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,920
empowered us to uphold
the banner of His faith

85
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,000
and made us a just nation and
said about us in His Glorious Book

86
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,200
"Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah"

87
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,800
"and those with him are
forceful against the disbelievers..."

88
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,280
"merciful among themselves"

89
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,040
By Allah...

90
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,840
When I look at your faces

91
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:53,600
I rejoice in seeing us united
in truth as in the good old days

92
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,680
Gentlemen...

93
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,600
Constantinople...

94
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,000
is the most fortified city
on the face of the earth

95
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,960
Water surrounds
it from three sides

96
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,320
As for the fourth side, it's
surrounded by three formidable walls

97
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,720
along with moats
filled with water

98
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,160
However, that won't stop us
from conquering it, by Allah's will

99
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,120
"Battle of Constantinople
Year 55 After the Hijra"

100
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,600
They Byzantines will fight
desperately to defend Constantinople

101
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,200
and won't allow our
army to reach its walls

102
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,080
further, we might
suffer heavy losses

103
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,000
because the Byzantines
are in a defensive position

104
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,200
because the Byzantines
are in a defensive position

105
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,240
and our army is within
range of their arrows

106
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,560
We'll face a hard
and long battle

107
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,320
Defeating the Byzantines in
one round won't topple their city

108
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,200
for it's their capital and
the center of their state

109
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,320
So, they won't
give it up that easy

110
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,520
Press on them, soldiers of Allah

111
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,560
Protect the Companions
of Allah's Messenger

112
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,760
People of Hejaz

113
00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:57,880
People of Iraq

114
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,000
Strike them, sons
of Ya'rub and Adnan

115
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,880
People of Syria

116
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,680
people of Yemen

117
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:06,840
and people of Egypt

118
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,440
Come on, Allah Akbar

119
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,480
Allah Akbar

120
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,400
Allah Akbar

121
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,480
Allah Akbar

122
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,320
Today, I received a letter from
the Governor, Yazid Ibn Mu'awiya

123
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,880
that warms the heart
about Constantinople

124
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:33,040
He told me that the Byzantines
sent a great army to fight us

125
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,360
and closed the gates of
Constantinople behind them

126
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,560
Yazid and his
commanders devised a plan

127
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,880
to lure the Byzantine
soldiers away from the walls

128
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,840
and set a well-crafted trap

129
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:09,120
When everything fell into place
the Byzantine soldiers were trapped

130
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,000
He charged at them with
the valiant Arabs like a storm

131
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:13,680
and enclosed them tightly

132
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,080
until they panicked and
their knights fell into disarray

133
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,400
which made their ranks
falter and their forces scatter

134
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,480
and they were torn apart

135
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,480
I'm aware that Yazid and his
companions' victory at this battle

136
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,680
didn't end the war
or bring down the city

137
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:35,120
but it's one step further to
breach its walls, by Allah's will

138
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,120
I haven't seen such a
fortified city before in my life

139
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,920
We have been laying
siege to it for days and nights

140
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,720
and we couldn't find
one weak point in its walls

141
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,200
Cities are just like people

142
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,000
No matter how
they were fortified

143
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,440
they must have a weak point

144
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:13,240
It's formidable walls have
cost us dearly in lives and losses

145
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,760
I hope our soldiers aren't
affected by the disease

146
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,000
Its threat is minimal
because we are in summer

147
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,520
But, what if we stayed
here until winter?

148
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,080
I don't think that our Commander
will leave the soldiers until winter

149
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,960
Because the snow and cold claimed
the lives of our soldiers in the past

150
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,560
I pray to Allah...

151
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,880
to help us conquer
Constantinople in the near future

152
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,440
- Amen - Amen

153
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:37,880
Amen

154
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,920
No harm upon you, Aba Ayoub

155
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,280
No harm upon you
Companion of Allah's Messenger

156
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,880
What harm...

157
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,160
would hit someone
honored by Allah...

158
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,760
to become the
Companion of Muhammad?

159
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,040
- Peace be upon him
- Peace be upon him

160
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,040
Then, He honored him yet again

161
00:14:07,560 --> 00:14:09,840
by letting His Prophet reside...

162
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,240
in his house

163
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,240
for a full seven months

164
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,160
when he arrived in Medina

165
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,920
- Peace be upon him
- Peace be upon him

166
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,000
Yazid

167
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,040
Son of Mu'awiya

168
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,480
I'm at your service, Aba Ayoub

169
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,040
I certainly have...

170
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,800
fought with armies...

171
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,240
under commanders...

172
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,720
who were better than you

173
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,320
but I haven't asked
anyone of them...

174
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,240
what I'm going to
ask from you now

175
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,000
If I die...

176
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,880
carry my body...

177
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,480
to the nearest place...

178
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,560
to Constantinople

179
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,840
Bury me...

180
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,440
Allah Akbar

181
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,160
then, return

182
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,080
If you conquer Constantinople

183
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:23,920
Allah Akbar

184
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,160
pass over my grave

185
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,680
so, I could hear the
sound of your footsteps...

186
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,040
enter the city of Caesar

187
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,040
We don't have any
other choice, people

188
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,520
Preserving our soldiers' lives
without conquering Constantinople

189
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,600
is better than their death

190
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,040
As you wish,
Commander of the Faithful

191
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,280
I'll send a letter to lord
Yazid tomorrow morning

192
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,320
to withdraw the army
from Constantinople

193
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,920
So, are we going to leave
Constantinople to its fate?

194
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,520
Tomorrow is nearer than you
think and winter won't stay forever

195
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,720
There's nothing you can do but
obeying the Commander of the Faithful

196
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,760
Should I return to Damascus...

197
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,400
without returning with the news
of Constantinople's conquest?

198
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,480
Maybe it's not meant for
you to conquer it, Yazid

199
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,920
That's what you're saying after all
our sacrifices at its walls, Ibn Amr?

200
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,560
What do I say to my soldiers who
are eager to conquer Constantinople...

201
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,640
to return without a victory?

202
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,560
Victory is not limited to
conquering Constantinople

203
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,920
Because we've inflicted heavy losses
on the Byzantines equal to it's conquest

204
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,560
Maybe your fight didn't result
in conquering Constantinople

205
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,360
but it's a step on
the path to victory

206
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,160
This campaign will be followed by
others until the conquest of Constantinople

207
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,720
and its conquerors will
recall that they couldn't enter it

208
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:14,360
without the sacrifices of their
brothers who preceded them at its walls

209
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,720
After the death of Al-Hasan and
Ziyad may Allah be merciful to them

210
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,520
It's time to pledge allegiance
to Yazid after my reign

211
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,280
This is a matter
long overdue, Brother

212
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,640
I delayed it out of
necessity, Juwairiyah

213
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,160
I had to wait until Yazid
becomes ready to be my successor

214
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,840
and become worthy of the great
responsibility that I'll entrust to him

215
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000
and I should have had Ziyad's
support in the matter but to our surprise

216
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:00,520
and I should have had Ziyad's
support in the matter but to our surprise

217
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,600
he met his demise early

218
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,040
May Allah be merciful to him

219
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,840
I'm certain that this matter won't
pass without opposition or objection

220
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,760
Opposition and
discord are inevitable

221
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,400
So, act swiftly to gain
time to deal with them

222
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:25,880
Yazid

223
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:27,920
My Lord

224
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,000
What would you do if I
made you the Caliph?

225
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,560
Allah does not burden a soul except
its capacity, Commander of the Faithful

226
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,360
I'll strive tirelessly
and won't falter

227
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,320
and success is granted by Allah

228
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,520
and here I am staying by your
side to learn from you all that I can

229
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,600
If it's good for you to
stay and learn from me...

230
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:56,040
It's better for the people to
know love and support you

231
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,560
For, they're your fortress as
they once were for your father

232
00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:04,120
The first thing you should do

233
00:21:04,360 --> 00:21:09,000
to personally handle the affairs
that cannot be entrusted to others

234
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,960
He, who relies on his assistants to
do tasks that he's incapable of doing

235
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:15,200
except for the governance

236
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,240
his state fell, his power
crumbled and his influence faded

237
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,840
Consult the noble
among the people

238
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,240
and listen carefully to delegations
that reach you from the provinces

239
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,080
Don't act unilaterally deliberate
and consult others and if you decide...

240
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,360
go ahead

241
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,160
Grant your appointees your trust

242
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,640
and ensure their governance
is sound, not corrupt

243
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,400
If they are just to our subjects
and excel in their duties

244
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,520
overlook minor
disagreements with them

245
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,000
Nonetheless...

246
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,000
monitor your governors
closely and know their details

247
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,080
and be aware of all
their plans and secrets

248
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,000
Regarding who disrupts
security and stirs discord

249
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,880
and aspire to
challenge your authority

250
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:05,760
Show no leniency, negligence
or indulgence toward them

251
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,840
and eliminate the seeds
of evil in their cradle

252
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,400
and let Al-Qurr'a and preachers
help you deal with the public

253
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,840
to remind them of
the gift of security

254
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,160
and steer them away from
meddling in governance

255
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,560
or inciting resentment
against their ruler

256
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:29,560
Be certain that protecting diverse
faiths and ensuring justice for the weak

257
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,920
leads to stability for the
state and peace for the people

258
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,560
Keeping promises fosters trust
and strengthens governance

259
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,360
Whoever doesn't
conquer will be conquered

260
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,440
and whoever doesn't
fight first will be fought

261
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,560
Weakness invites predators

262
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,560
So, don't refrain from conquest and
spreading the message of our Lord

263
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,360
to the east and west

264
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,760
Prudence is acting without delaying
tasks beyond their proper time

265
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,280
Having heard your blessing for
entrusting the caliphate to your son, Yazid

266
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:15,240
I decided to consult the governors
and leaders of the Islamic provinces

267
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,920
and the tribal leaders
regarding what we've discussed

268
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,560
The sooner the better
Commander of the Faithful

269
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,960
Welcome, people of Iraq

270
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,640
and its tribal leaders

271
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,760
You are the essence of Islam
and the core of Arab identity

272
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:34,040
Welcome, people of Kufa and
Basra may Allah reward you well...

273
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,480
for enduring the
hardships of this long travel

274
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,800
in response to the Commander
of the Faithful's invitation

275
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,960
May Allah reward you well
Commander of the Faithful

276
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,400
Be certain, gentlemen
that I only invited you...

277
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,120
to discuss a matter for
the good of the nation

278
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,880
to prevent the resurgence of conflicts
extinguished by the grace of Allah

279
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,440
and the nation may never again
be engulfed in its own bloodshed

280
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:03,000
Many people from Syria and
Egypt have advised me to appoint...

281
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,960
My heir, Yazid Ibn
Mu'awiya as my successor

282
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,360
What do you think?

283
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,360
Tamim's leader, Al-Ahnaf
Ibn Qays didn't speak a word

284
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:36,040
I'm but a man among the
Muslims Aba Abd Al-Rahman

285
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,080
Should the Muslims
agree on choosing your son

286
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,800
I won't deviate
from the community

287
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:45,920
For, I was never a
man who incites discord

288
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,600
I'm pleased with that, Aba Bahr

289
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,760
- May Allah reward you
well - May Allah reward you...

290
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,240
May Allah reward you all well

291
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,000
{\an8}"Medina Year 56 After the Hijra"

292
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:00,120
{\an8}"Medina Year 56 After the Hijra"

293
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,440
The Commander of the Faithful
decided to designate a successor

294
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,760
and ordered me to secure allegiance
for his son, Yazid as his appointed heir

295
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:15,080
I can only assume that you'll hasten
to support him and fulfill his promise

296
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,200
and strive to maintain our unity

297
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,440
So, be role models for
Muslims and the first to pledge

298
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,720
Come forward and grant me
your pledge of allegiance to him

299
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,280
I don't think there's anyone
among you who would refuse this

300
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,000
You are mistaken, Ibn Al-Hakam

301
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:32,880
Tell the Commander
of the Faithful...

302
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:37,800
that Abd Al-Rahman Ibn Aba Bakr
refuses to pledge allegiance to Yazid

303
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,360
And Abdullah Ibn
Omar refuses too

304
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,480
And Abdullah Ibn Al-Zubayr

305
00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:49,120
- "Governor's Court, Medina" -
These are the leaders today...

306
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,360
and the offspring
of previous Caliphs

307
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,400
I hope, after gaining the
pledge of the people of Medina

308
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,320
that they reconcile
and join the consensus

309
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,040
I'm worried about their absence from
your court, Commander of the Faithful

310
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,800
and their journey to Mecca

311
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:07,040
Aba Abd Al-Malik, who among
us doesn't long to visit Mecca?

312
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,200
We left it but it didn't leave us
and our souls continue to yearn for it

313
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,480
perhaps they went
there intending Umrah

314
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:21,080
Anyway, I'll discuss the matter
with them when I visit Mecca

315
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,920
and they'll reconsider their
stance Don't worry, Aba Al-Hakam

316
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,480
Where to, Aba Abd Al-Rahman?

317
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,440
"I pass by this
house, Layla's house"

318
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,120
"and I kiss this
wall and that wall"

319
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,080
Please, my Lord

320
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,480
Who do you think cooks for
them when they leave for battle?

321
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,720
Do you cook for them yourself?

322
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,440
No, we cook together

323
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,880
But I surpass them in
skill and knowledge of food

324
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,040
and how to prepare unique dishes

325
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:48,040
I know that you're the leaders of people
and the descendants of the best Companions

326
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,880
So, I'll respect your intellect
by not speaking of turmoil

327
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:54,560
breaking the bond of obedience

328
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,760
and discussing what
the nation has agreed on

329
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,480
You must expect such subjects

330
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:00,000
and became weary of
discussing that over and over

331
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,920
and became weary of
discussing that over and over

332
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:04,760
But, tell me...

333
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,520
are you objecting to my
decision to assign a successor?

334
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,520
Or is it the person
assigned that you object?

335
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:25,040
A caliph should be chosen
based on the council of advisors

336
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,760
So, you cannot
choose a successor

337
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,520
on the contrary, it's their job

338
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:35,280
They are best suited to
determine the most deserving

339
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:42,000
Did they say that to your father Aba
Bakr when he chose Omar Ibn Al-Khattab?

340
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,200
Do you hold the same
status as Aba Bakr?

341
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,440
No, I'm not like him
in virtue and faith

342
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,000
but I'm of the same rank as him

343
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,520
Indeed, I speak to you today

344
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,000
from the stature that Aba
Bakr occupied in the past

345
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,320
and I'll choose Yazid
in terms of my status

346
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,160
just like your father choose
Omar in terms of his status

347
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,560
Is Yazid like Omar?

348
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,440
So, you've stepped away from
the realm of choosing the Caliph

349
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,440
to the chosen Caliph

350
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,320
Yes, because he's your son

351
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,640
I've thought that there's
a consensus on my son

352
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,800
though among Muslims, there
are those who surpass him in virtue

353
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,960
But what good is it to
choose a virtuous man...

354
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,080
if it leads to division
among the people?

355
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:32,920
Speak, Ibn Omar

356
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,800
Is assigning someone less
virtuous if it ensures unity, better?

357
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,640
or choosing a virtuous
leader who divides the people?

358
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:43,520
The less virtuous with unity is
better for division is pure harm

359
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,560
What stops you from pledging allegiance
to your cousin, Yazid Ibn Mu'awiay?

360
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,200
Your action, Commander
of the Faithful...

361
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,200
even if it has some goodness
it holds a lot of corruption

362
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,040
because it turns the Caliphate
into monarchy and inheritance

363
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,640
and that doesn't align with
the concept of the Caliphate

364
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,320
for, it relies on the
advisory council of Muslims

365
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,320
But if you realized that there's
a consensus on Yazid, Ibn Omar

366
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:13,400
with only you and a few of your
cousins remain hesitant to agree

367
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,480
I'm but one man
Commander of the Faithful

368
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,320
if they unite in agreement
on Yazid after you...

369
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,400
I won't deviate
from the community

370
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,000
What do you think,
Ibn Al-Zubayr?

371
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:32,720
Pledging allegiance to two
Caliphs at the same time is invalid

372
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,360
For, the Messenger
peace be upon him, said...

373
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,720
"In case there're two
caliphs kill one of them"

374
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,840
Either you're the Caliph
only today without Yazid

375
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,520
or you abdicate the
caliphate live in your palace

376
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,120
and leave the
caliphate to your son

377
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,960
However, pledging our allegiance
to two caliphs simultaneously

378
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,400
that would be invalid

379
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,360
Alright, gentlemen

380
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,720
I've listened to your opinions
and understood it fully

381
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,760
You criticize only what you
yourselves implicitly commit

382
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,320
because if you've seen
who opposed my decision...

383
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,520
you'll realize that they are only
the offspring of the previous caliphs

384
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,240
In this, you and Yazid are alike

385
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:26,200
Yet today, Yazid's father holds
the authority, not your fathers

386
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,440
and here, our paths diverged

387
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,680
Anyway, there's no use
of dwelling on this matter

388
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:33,840
Here's what will happen...

389
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:43,560
I won't force upon you an allegiance
that you refuse for your own reasons

390
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,680
However, I won't accept your
interference in the people's decision

391
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,400
Whoever wishes,
may pledge allegiance

392
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,000
and whoever wishes not to, we won't
compel them just as we didn't compel you

393
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,560
Even though I accept
differences in opinion

394
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,200
I won't tolerate disobedience

395
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:15,040
"Damascus Year
60 After the Hijra"

396
00:34:25,240 --> 00:34:27,800
Your subjects
are waiting for you

397
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,440
Soon, they wait for you, not me

398
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,320
I'd sacrifice my
soul for you, Father

399
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,440
Yazid, my son

400
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,400
I've spared you the burdens
of hardship and travel

401
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,040
paved the way for you

402
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,880
subdued the enemies for you

403
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,000
and brought you
what non before could

404
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,880
Turn to the people of
Hijaz for they're your roots

405
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,880
Honor those among
them who come to you

406
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,680
and care for those
who are absent

407
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:12,200
As for people of Iraq, if they daily
seek a governor's dismissal, do that

408
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,520
For, dismissing an appointee
is better than facing a great army

409
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:22,320
As for the people of Syria let
them become your inner circle

410
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,200
If you sense anything
troubling from your enemy...

411
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,120
seek their support

412
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,120
Allah Akbar

413
00:35:53,720 --> 00:35:55,040
People...

414
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,560
I'm just like that crops whose
time of harvesting has neared

415
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,760
my rule have been
prolonged over you

416
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,400
until I grew weary
of you and you of me

417
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,360
None shall succeed me...

418
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,800
except for one who
is worse than me

419
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,120
As none had preceded me...

420
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,640
except those who
were better than I

421
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,320
Whoever likes to meet Allah...

422
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,520
Allah too likes to meet them

423
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:48,520
Allah, I like to meet you so,
I pray you like meeting me

424
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:55,720
Yazid...

425
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:01,720
If I met my demise let
someone prudent wash me

426
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,000
For prudent people are in a
position of closeness to Allah

427
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,600
Let him wash me well

428
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,120
and proclaim the Takbir aloud

429
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,360
When you place me in my shroud

430
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,480
and lower me into my grave

431
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,000
Leave Mu'awiya to
Allah the Most Merciful

432
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,200
Peace be upon you

433
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,720
He went out today as well

434
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,320
It seems it has
become a habit for him

435
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,000
Doesn't he tell you
where he goes...

436
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,440
and what he does?

437
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,640
He walks down Damascus's
alleys until his feet get tired

438
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,760
As if...

439
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,760
he bids it the final farewell

440
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,440
My Lord, Commander
of the Faithful

441
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:50,960
I'm at your service, my Lord

442
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,200
- Open the gates to the
arsenal - Yes, my Lord

443
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,400
Stay where you are

444
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,920
"There's no victor except Allah"

445
00:41:36,720 --> 00:41:39,640
"From among the
jinn and mankind"

446
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,240
"Allah Almighty is Truthful"

447
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,560
"And Allah will be sufficient
for you against them..."

448
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,680
"and He is the
Hearing the Knowing"

448
