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

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

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

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

00:15:58,520 --> 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

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
