Mongols; The Near Destruction Of Islam (part 1)
Salam,
I was prompted to make this series after watching the new film on the Mongols: the rise of Ghenkis Khan.
I was disgusted at his portrayal as a noble hero, a gentle lover and a fair general and so decided to replay history as it happened to make up for the cinema story which was ‘based on historical events’ (ie. a fabrication and re-write of history)
You’ll find this series very gruesome and even ugly at parts - but it’s the truth.
This is a story of injustice, oppression, lies and treachery. It’s a story of betrayals and cowardice.
The Mongols affected the entire earth and killed many many millions and spared no one. An army not to be trusted and a heartless General not to be loved.
My unbound gratitude to Dr Raghib Sirjani, who’s works I used extensively in doing this series. May Allah reward you bountifully.
As this is the first time that I have done anything like this, I would very much appreciate your feedback and comments below to help and steer the next instalment in this series.
This instalment is an hour long and the most technical of them all. I needed to explain the main powers on the face of the earth at the time, and so there are a lot of names and countries, but I recap the details again and again, so you should get to grips with things easily enough.
I will of course be drawing a map just to make it easier, but in due time.
Right click on this link and ’save target as…’ on your computer and listen to it and hopefully enjoy! (otherwise, just click and it should play automatically)

Excellent talk. good account..
I like the hadith at the end of the talk narrated by Thauban in Muslim - do you have the specific reference for this hadith….
Comment by Ahmed on 5 July 2008:
Jazakallah for an excellent talk.
Was quite technical and difficult to follow in certain places, but definately a very benefical and informative talk which every muslim should listen to to know about their history.
Looking forward to Part 2!

This was great!
What was really good about it is that it is not simply a history lesson. The speaker takes a comprehensive approach by referring to other issues around the subject and relates them to events we see today.
Can’t wait for the next release!

Alhamdulillah - the lecture was delivered in a very captivating style. May Allah enable you to do even better in the forthcoming coming ones.
The major lesson was the importance of unity.
The sound was a bit ‘tinny’ in parts; so you might look at ways to improve the quality of the recording. It would also be nice to relate the acts of the mongols to the 8 principle rules of material conquests to emphasise the point. I would also like to know more about the Mongol ideological beliefs, what drove them and their own cultural history/background.

Jazakom Allah khair for this instalment
Alhamdulillah, I learnt a lot in 1 hour (and 58 seconds)
I’m really glad that you have launched this course online , as I don’t have to travel far anymore - so may Allah reward you immensely for making knowledge more accessible
I ask Allah to teach us what is beneficial to us and the Muslims. Ameen
As mentioned by a brother previously, I would like to know more about the Mongol ideological beliefs etc.
