Farouk Omar
(Omar Ibn Al-Khattab)

2
00:02:26,620 --> 00:02:28,277
28th Episode

3
00:02:30,731 --> 00:02:34,186
"Caution: The following show contains
disturbing images for young children"

4
00:02:41,282 --> 00:02:43,580
- Do you know anything about my sons?
- I don't know.

5
00:02:48,340 --> 00:02:50,812
- Do you have any news of my sons?
- I don't know.

6
00:02:56,094 --> 00:03:00,359
Do you have any news for me?
I am Al-Khansa'

7
00:03:11,076 --> 00:03:15,218
Hisham Ibn Utbah and the troops coming
with him from Syria seem to be delayed.

8
00:03:15,575 --> 00:03:19,031
We have given people high hopes
of his arrival with 6.000 men.

9
00:03:19,335 --> 00:03:22,375
We are about to meet our enemy on the
third day of the Battle of Al-Qadisiyyah.

10
00:03:22,670 --> 00:03:24,844
We do not want people to be disheartened.

11
00:03:25,110 --> 00:03:28,259
I think you better move out stealthily
to beyond Al-Qadisiyyah,

12
00:03:28,302 --> 00:03:32,881
at this time of night,
making sure that you are unnoticed.

13
00:03:33,195 --> 00:03:37,445
Then when it is broad daylight, you come
to us one hundred after one hundred,

14
00:03:37,715 --> 00:03:39,698
like we did the first time.

15
00:03:40,010 --> 00:03:45,979
If Hisham arrives, well and good.
If not, you heighten people's hopes.

16
00:03:47,538 --> 00:03:52,154
They fought very hard (fiercely).
May God accept their efforts

17
00:03:52,461 --> 00:03:57,886
and may He comfort you. Remain patient
and make them an offering to God.

18
00:04:00,361 --> 00:04:03,716
I will only say what pleases my Lord.

19
00:04:04,008 --> 00:04:06,919
We all belong to God
and to Him we all return.

20
00:04:07,915 --> 00:04:12,157
I praise God for honouring me
with them being martyrs for His cause.

21
00:04:14,562 --> 00:04:19,198
May He reunite me with them
in the place of His ultimate grace.

22
00:06:32,754 --> 00:06:36,837
Look. By God, they are Hisham
Ibn Utbah's advance party.

23
00:06:45,788 --> 00:06:48,866
All praise be to God who has brought you
before the fighting starts.

24
00:06:49,166 --> 00:06:51,431
Soldiers are taking their positions
for the third day of the battle.

25
00:06:51,742 --> 00:06:53,185
Where are the rest of your forces?

26
00:06:53,435 --> 00:06:54,998
They will soon be arriving.

27
00:06:55,259 --> 00:06:59,840
I have split them into sections,
with some distance between them.

28
00:07:00,110 --> 00:07:01,755
What are you doing here?

29
00:07:18,026 --> 00:07:22,620
This is a good trick.
I will do the same with my group.

30
00:07:22,936 --> 00:07:26,336
You move on now.

31
00:07:48,026 --> 00:07:49,982
All praise be to God.

32
00:07:50,235 --> 00:07:51,720
God is Supreme!

33
00:07:52,123 --> 00:07:53,871
God is Supreme!

34
00:07:58,909 --> 00:08:03,420
- God is Supreme!
- God is Supreme!

35
00:08:03,682 --> 00:08:06,733
- God is Supreme!
- God is Supreme!

36
00:08:06,997 --> 00:08:09,986
- God is Supreme!
- God is Supreme!

37
00:09:09,201 --> 00:09:10,842
Bring me some soldiers who belong
to the people of this land.

38
00:09:11,137 --> 00:09:13,785
I want to ask them
about these elephants. Hurry.

39
00:09:23,270 --> 00:09:25,249
Advance!

40
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,596
God is Supreme! God is Supreme!

41
00:09:54,735 --> 00:09:57,939
Al-Qa'qa and Asim,
with a group of horsemen,

42
00:09:58,226 --> 00:10:02,177
will move towards the leading elephant,
as the rest follow him.

43
00:10:02,837 --> 00:10:05,017
They should strike the elephant
in his eyes and mouth.

44
00:11:30,261 --> 00:11:31,927
God is Supreme!

45
00:11:55,087 --> 00:11:56,453
God is Supreme!

46
00:11:57,106 --> 00:11:59,326
God is Supreme!

47
00:12:06,714 --> 00:12:10,851
Retreat.

48
00:12:11,385 --> 00:12:13,873
- God is Supreme!
- God is Supreme!

49
00:12:18,888 --> 00:12:20,181
God is Supreme!

50
00:12:27,312 --> 00:12:32,319
God is Supreme!

51
00:12:32,733 --> 00:12:38,242
God is Supreme!

52
00:12:38,665 --> 00:12:43,743
God is Supreme!

53
00:12:45,797 --> 00:12:51,667
God is Supreme!

54
00:12:53,542 --> 00:12:57,043
God is Supreme!

55
00:13:24,327 --> 00:13:27,328
- Where have you come from?
- Najd.

56
00:13:27,606 --> 00:13:31,006
Have you heard any news of Iraq
and the people at Al-Qadisiyyah?

57
00:13:31,070 --> 00:13:35,476
Everyone we met in every area
is awaiting the news as you do.

58
00:13:37,765 --> 00:13:40,903
We set out from Najd
without having heard anything.

59
00:13:41,231 --> 00:13:45,860
May God please you, brother,
and please us with the news we hope.

60
00:13:46,169 --> 00:13:49,668
God willing. God willing.

61
00:13:55,254 --> 00:13:57,693
It is several days now
and you continue to ask travellers,

62
00:13:57,985 --> 00:14:02,413
but cannot find an answer, father.
It is midday and it is far too hot.

63
00:14:02,758 --> 00:14:06,548
Wouldn't it be better for you to go back
and await the news that will please you?

64
00:14:07,364 --> 00:14:10,083
When Saad's messenger comes,
he will not miss you.

65
00:14:10,439 --> 00:14:13,280
You are not hastening the arrival
of the news by coming out of Madinah,

66
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,176
nor will you delay it by staying at home.

67
00:14:19,629 --> 00:14:25,382
You go back, Abdullah.
As for me, I am unable to sit

68
00:14:26,191 --> 00:14:29,755
and I can hardly sleep until I learn
what God has done to our brothers.

69
00:14:34,276 --> 00:14:37,517
Haven't you heard the order of your
father and Ameer Al-Mu'mineen?

70
00:14:37,802 --> 00:14:40,605
You will be guilty of two offences
if you stay. Get on (Go now).

71
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,846
Will you stay alone?
I will keep you company.

72
00:14:46,165 --> 00:14:48,648
The only company I need is the News
of victory, God willing.

73
00:15:48,195 --> 00:15:50,916
- Where have you come from?
- From Al-Qadisiyyah.

74
00:15:54,805 --> 00:15:59,431
- Tell me, please.
- God has defeated the unbelievers.

75
00:16:06,776 --> 00:16:09,545
Four days that
were harder than Yarmuk.

76
00:16:09,828 --> 00:16:12,400
We had great difficulty against the elephants,

77
00:16:12,733 --> 00:16:15,051
until God helped us against them.

78
00:16:16,605 --> 00:16:19,843
- What about their commander?
- Rustom?

79
00:16:20,247 --> 00:16:23,309
He was killed,
as were most of their commanders.

80
00:16:23,612 --> 00:16:26,557
Saad ordered a chase to capture
those who fled.

81
00:16:26,860 --> 00:16:30,978
Al-Qa'qa' chased them with his unit.
He killed Al-Fairuzan,

82
00:16:31,215 --> 00:16:35,186
who is one of their top commanders.
Only Al-Hurmuzan escaped.

83
00:16:36,015 --> 00:16:42,044
- What about the Muslim casualties?
- Eight thousand and five hundred.

84
00:16:51,108 --> 00:16:54,091
Do you know where
I can find Ameer Al-Mu'mineen?

85
00:17:07,582 --> 00:17:09,725
Prepare yourself to leave
with the palace men. Straightaway.

86
00:17:09,877 --> 00:17:11,856
Won't you fight for
your ancestors' kingdom?

87
00:17:12,887 --> 00:17:15,091
Had there been anything left of my
ancestors' kingdom, I would fight for it.

88
00:17:15,433 --> 00:17:18,253
But to be killed in a disappearing
kingdom is plain folly.

89
00:17:18,722 --> 00:17:20,279
How can you say this?

90
00:17:20,639 --> 00:17:23,003
Do you leave Al-Mada'in to its fate
and leave, when you are...

91
00:17:23,276 --> 00:17:26,564
What am I?
I was hiding among ordinary people,

92
00:17:26,808 --> 00:17:29,609
making sure that no one learns of my
family and my relation to Khosrau,

93
00:17:29,841 --> 00:17:33,145
so that Khosrau's relatives
won't kill me as they killed my father

94
00:17:33,402 --> 00:17:35,567
and killed each other.

95
00:17:36,623 --> 00:17:40,141
When there was nothing left of the
kingdom except its burdens and deaths,

96
00:17:40,422 --> 00:17:42,514
they brought me here
and placed me on a throne

97
00:17:42,716 --> 00:17:44,842
whose master they knew will be killed.

98
00:17:45,098 --> 00:17:50,270
Thus, they did nothing other than
instead of killing me in Istakhr,

99
00:17:50,530 --> 00:17:54,329
they offered me death in Al-Madain,
but with Arab swords.

100
00:18:05,608 --> 00:18:09,797
Khosrau's Palace.
The White Palace.

101
00:18:57,379 --> 00:19:03,647
Mention God often and praise Him.
Be humble in front of God as you enter.

102
00:19:25,951 --> 00:19:29,022
I thank God that he made me leave
their land when I was a young lad

103
00:19:29,354 --> 00:19:31,099
and took me to the land of Islam.

104
00:19:34,723 --> 00:19:38,052
When I was here as one of them,

105
00:19:38,897 --> 00:19:41,554
I would not dream of seeing
even a single article of all this.

106
00:19:43,676 --> 00:19:46,845
We used to till the earth
for the princes and the tax collectors,

107
00:19:47,377 --> 00:19:49,910
but would not get enough for our food.

108
00:19:51,376 --> 00:19:55,375
Our hunger and poverty
were certainly due to this.

109
00:20:03,114 --> 00:20:07,575
Those people who delivered this are
certainly true to their trust.

110
00:20:08,286 --> 00:20:11,272
You have held back your hand,
and so did your subjects.

111
00:20:11,555 --> 00:20:13,556
Had you taken for yourself
they would have done likewise.

112
00:20:32,129 --> 00:20:36,257
Do you, Ameer Al-Mu'mineen,
cry when this is a greay day for rejoice?

113
00:20:37,983 --> 00:20:41,812
By God, I do not fear for you hard
conditions and simple living,

114
00:20:43,672 --> 00:20:46,458
but I fear for you the like of this.

115
00:20:49,594 --> 00:20:53,068
When the world gives a community
such as this,

116
00:20:54,063 --> 00:20:58,392
there will be much envy,
hatred and selfishness among them.

117
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,644
They will give priority to
their shares of this world

118
00:21:02,001 --> 00:21:03,896
over those of the hereafter.

119
00:21:11,814 --> 00:21:15,254
Where is Suraqah Ibn Malik?
I have sent for him.

120
00:21:15,722 --> 00:21:17,604
Here he comes.

121
00:21:18,273 --> 00:21:19,911
What's going on?

122
00:21:24,679 --> 00:21:26,737
Do you know what these are?

123
00:21:28,115 --> 00:21:30,706
How could a Bedouin like me
know what these are?

124
00:21:33,977 --> 00:21:40,457
These are Khosrau's headdress, belt,
bracelets, crown and clothes.

125
00:21:50,456 --> 00:21:52,642
This is the fulfillment
of the Prophet's promise to you.

126
00:21:53,157 --> 00:21:56,282
It has has come true.
Now wear them.

127
00:22:04,718 --> 00:22:08,384
How would you feel
if you wear Khosrau's bracelets?

128
00:22:08,735 --> 00:22:12,255
Khosrau? The King of Persia?

129
00:22:14,095 --> 00:22:17,112
He told me to inform you that
after he saw you coming forward.

130
00:22:26,276 --> 00:22:28,053
Walk back.

131
00:22:43,796 --> 00:22:45,471
Come forward.

132
00:22:50,708 --> 00:22:56,956
Well, well! A Bedouin from the tribe of Mudlij
is wearing Khosrau's stuff: headdress,

133
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,865
trousers, sword, belt, crown and shoes.

134
00:23:02,769 --> 00:23:05,466
There were days, Suraqah,

135
00:23:06,142 --> 00:23:10,505
when wearing these articles
of Khosrau and his people

136
00:23:10,879 --> 00:23:13,634
would count as a source of honour
for you and your tribe.

137
00:23:14,029 --> 00:23:19,144
But, what is with God
is much better. Take them off.

138
00:23:22,393 --> 00:23:24,116
Aren't they for me?

139
00:23:24,474 --> 00:23:27,768
Yours is only the privilege of wearing them,
as God's Messenger had promised you.

140
00:23:28,113 --> 00:23:31,471
They, like the rest of these,
belong to the Muslims.

141
00:23:31,959 --> 00:23:35,688
Everyone will receive their shares
of what God has given us.

142
00:23:36,677 --> 00:23:38,960
Take them off.

143
00:23:48,692 --> 00:23:52,371
My Lord, you have not given these
to Your Messenger and Prophet

144
00:23:53,971 --> 00:23:58,254
when You loved and
honoured him more than me.

145
00:23:59,521 --> 00:24:01,895
You have not given them to Abu Bakr

146
00:24:02,968 --> 00:24:06,239
when You loved and
honoured him more than me.

147
00:24:08,122 --> 00:24:15,622
I appeal to You to preserve me
against the lure of these gifts.

148
00:24:30,152 --> 00:24:32,056
Are you going out at this time of night?

149
00:24:34,117 --> 00:24:36,951
Why do you trouble yourself
with such inspection at night?

150
00:24:37,288 --> 00:24:40,804
If it is necessary,
appoint someone to undertake it.

151
00:24:42,167 --> 00:24:46,041
I consider myself in relation to Muslims
as a father of young dependents.

152
00:24:46,382 --> 00:24:50,494
I need to check on them
day and night, as often as I can.

153
00:24:50,965 --> 00:24:55,164
God sees what I do at night
and during the day.

154
00:24:56,461 --> 00:24:59,423
Go back and sleep;
may God bless you.

155
00:25:09,823 --> 00:25:11,966
- Peace be to you.
- And peace be to you too.

156
00:25:16,027 --> 00:25:19,939
Too long is the night;
its stars journeying on.

157
00:25:21,503 --> 00:25:25,968
Yet, here I am, sleepless,
with no mate to play with.

158
00:25:27,242 --> 00:25:29,988
We play for a while, yet,
for a second while his eyebrow

159
00:25:30,468 --> 00:25:36,014
appears like the night's moon.

160
00:25:37,979 --> 00:25:41,283
Had it not been for fearing God,

161
00:25:42,915 --> 00:25:46,402
activity would be rife on this very bed.

162
00:25:51,979 --> 00:25:59,030
I fear the one assigned to watch us,
writing all we do through life's journey.

163
00:26:00,989 --> 00:26:02,854
God bless you.

164
00:26:04,717 --> 00:26:06,713
She has done no wrong.

165
00:26:07,133 --> 00:26:10,936
She misses her husband,
but her morality stops her from sin.

166
00:26:11,341 --> 00:26:15,192
What is good morality other than restraining
one's desire so that one commits no sin?

167
00:26:16,609 --> 00:26:21,011
A person whose desire has gone
cannot claim good morality.

168
00:26:21,483 --> 00:26:25,762
And the one who cannot restrain his
desires cannot claim that he is abstinent.

169
00:26:29,137 --> 00:26:31,825
Do you know the woman
of this house, Aslam?

170
00:26:33,672 --> 00:26:37,408
She's a desperate woman.
Her husband is in Saad's army.

171
00:26:40,649 --> 00:26:44,354
It is our duty to find out how long a woman
can tolerate her husband's absence.

172
00:26:44,689 --> 00:26:47,211
We then issue orders that soldiers
must not be absent for longer than that.

173
00:26:47,662 --> 00:26:50,412
If they will be away too long,
they should take their wives.

174
00:26:50,753 --> 00:26:54,274
Wives and husbands
have equal rights and duties.

175
00:27:12,003 --> 00:27:16,193
All praise be to God for having given us
the kingdom of Persia, as well as Syria.

176
00:27:18,991 --> 00:27:23,317
It is time that we should organize how
the money is shared out among Muslims,

177
00:27:24,572 --> 00:27:27,695
according to a policy that is known to all.

178
00:27:28,433 --> 00:27:30,509
Thus, everyone will know their rights.

179
00:27:37,844 --> 00:27:45,419
Abu Bakr used to share it out
among people equally.

180
00:27:45,766 --> 00:27:48,484
He did not consider their status in Islam

181
00:27:48,842 --> 00:27:51,353
and whether they belonged
to the early Muslims.

182
00:27:51,682 --> 00:27:54,949
He believed that that is a matter that
will be given its full reward by God.

183
00:27:55,697 --> 00:27:57,829
I have a different view.

184
00:27:59,013 --> 00:28:03,502
I do not equate a person who fought against
the Prophet with one who fought with him.

185
00:28:03,839 --> 00:28:06,437
Nor do I place on equal footing those
who converted after the fall of Makkah

186
00:28:06,747 --> 00:28:08,565
and those who were Muslims before that.

187
00:28:10,685 --> 00:28:12,903
I take into consideration
people's early adoption of Islam,

188
00:28:13,308 --> 00:28:19,798
their striving for its cause and their roles
in Islam, and also their different needs.

189
00:28:21,998 --> 00:28:25,750
By God, if I live,

190
00:28:26,107 --> 00:28:30,563
a shepherd in the mountains of Sanaa
will receive his share in this money.

191
00:28:31,005 --> 00:28:32,980
What do you think?

192
00:28:33,581 --> 00:28:36,891
We leave it up to you.
Do as you think fit.

193
00:28:37,217 --> 00:28:42,284
If you or any of us should have a different
view later, we can discuss it again.

194
00:28:43,936 --> 00:28:46,891
I see that much money has come in
and it will help people.

195
00:28:47,254 --> 00:28:51,549
More will be forthcoming, God willing,
when the rest of Persia will fall to us.

196
00:28:52,313 --> 00:28:53,501
God willing.

197
00:28:54,156 --> 00:28:58,790
As for Syria, it now totally belongs
to the Muslims except Jerusalem.

198
00:28:59,141 --> 00:29:01,584
May God facilitate
its acquisition in due course.

199
00:29:04,263 --> 00:29:06,080
Moreover, people have also increased.

200
00:29:06,472 --> 00:29:10,190
Unless they are recorded,
to establish who has taken what,

201
00:29:10,548 --> 00:29:17,582
there may be much confusion.
- This is right. So, what do you suggest?

202
00:29:17,988 --> 00:29:20,757
Do as the Byzantines and the Persians do.

203
00:29:21,066 --> 00:29:25,370
Establish a record of allowances
and soldiers. Appoint an official

204
00:29:25,650 --> 00:29:30,018
to keep written records according
to people status and their dues.

205
00:29:30,345 --> 00:29:32,737
We, thus, will know what is paid
to them by the state treasury,

206
00:29:33,047 --> 00:29:35,426
and we know who
has not received their benefits.

207
00:29:35,772 --> 00:29:40,802
We will also know what remains
in the treasury for emergencies.

208
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:44,723
This is a sound suggestion.

209
00:29:45,207 --> 00:29:48,947
We should also make a similar Record
in which we hold the letters and messages...

210
00:29:49,363 --> 00:29:53,005
we receive. It should have
scribes to write our letters.

211
00:29:53,345 --> 00:29:57,002
We have many more officials now and
there is much greater need to the letters.

212
00:29:57,334 --> 00:30:00,011
And a similar record for land tax.

213
00:30:42,773 --> 00:30:44,431
What is all this, Abdullah?

214
00:30:44,782 --> 00:30:47,274
Clothes to wear and money
sent by Ameer Al-Mu'mineen.

215
00:30:47,572 --> 00:30:50,009
Why is he sending me these,
may God bless him?

216
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,891
Think well.

217
00:30:52,697 --> 00:30:55,796
He has written to Saad
to give your husband leave of absence.

218
00:30:56,125 --> 00:30:58,358
In fact, he has issued an order that
married soldiers should not remain away...

219
00:30:58,775 --> 00:31:00,353
for more than four months.

220
00:31:04,995 --> 00:31:07,292
How did he know my feelings?

221
00:31:11,637 --> 00:31:14,003
This is not up to you,
Ameer Al-Mu'mineen!

222
00:31:14,889 --> 00:31:16,995
God says in the Qur'an:

223
00:31:17,297 --> 00:31:21,120
"Know that one-fifth (1/5) of whatever
booty you may acquire in war is for God...

224
00:31:21,545 --> 00:31:25,104
and the Messenger, and for the
near of kin, the orphans, the needy...

225
00:31:25,561 --> 00:31:28,219
and the traveller in need."
(Sura Al-Anfal/"The Spoils of War"/verse 41)

226
00:31:28,528 --> 00:31:31,325
This land which God has gramted
to the Muslims in Iraq and Syria

227
00:31:31,659 --> 00:31:34,217
should go to those
who actually fought the war there.

228
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:40,131
You should divide it among them.

229
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,466
No. The right view is that
of Ameer Al-Mu'mineen.

230
00:31:44,576 --> 00:31:47,528
The land remains whole and
is not divided among the soldiers.

231
00:31:47,935 --> 00:31:52,753
Its yield and taxes from it will therefore
go to all Muslims, present and absent.

232
00:31:53,074 --> 00:31:55,972
In this way, they would not just circulate
among those of you who are rich.

233
00:31:56,594 --> 00:32:00,935
Every single Muslim
thus has a share in these gains.

234
00:32:01,349 --> 00:32:05,825
How about those later Muslims who will then
find the land having already been divided

235
00:32:06,124 --> 00:32:08,408
and owned?

236
00:32:09,392 --> 00:32:13,482
What is left for descendants and
widows in this place and elsewhere

237
00:32:13,765 --> 00:32:15,212
in Syria and Iraq?

238
00:32:15,556 --> 00:32:19,391
All Glory be to God! A land that God
has granted to its conquerors,

239
00:32:19,656 --> 00:32:21,970
and you want to hold it
so that its benefit goes to...

240
00:32:22,281 --> 00:32:28,226
those who were not there and to their
children and their unborn descendants?

241
00:32:28,801 --> 00:32:30,956
Why shouldn't I?

242
00:32:31,490 --> 00:32:35,112
Has God sent His Messenger
for contemporary people only?

243
00:32:35,408 --> 00:32:40,289
Has Islam been revealed to set matters
right for this generation only?

244
00:32:40,973 --> 00:32:42,774
By God,

245
00:32:43,050 --> 00:32:46,270
I fear that God will question me
about those who will come after me.

246
00:32:46,386 --> 00:32:49,877
Whatever decision we will make today will
not only affect those who are alive now,

247
00:32:50,167 --> 00:32:52,906
but will also affect those
who will come after them.

248
00:32:53,255 --> 00:32:56,120
If it is an evil or unjust decision,
we will be accountable for it,

249
00:32:56,471 --> 00:33:01,639
even after we are dead.
He is a bad governor who says...

250
00:33:01,951 --> 00:33:04,981
that he only needs to look after
the welfare of those living under him,

251
00:33:05,267 --> 00:33:08,427
and that what happens
after him is of no concern to him.

252
00:33:08,768 --> 00:33:13,829
Today we are establishing
the foundations of the Islamic state,

253
00:33:14,156 --> 00:33:19,343
so that it will remain solid
and strong for all generations to come.

254
00:33:21,092 --> 00:33:23,297
By God,

255
00:33:23,611 --> 00:33:27,404
I shall not divide the conquered land
to enrich a certain group or one generation,

256
00:33:27,689 --> 00:33:31,268
leaving subsequent generations poor.
Remember that God says:

257
00:33:31,562 --> 00:33:35,905
"It must not just circulate
among those of you who are rich."

258
00:33:36,226 --> 00:33:37,951
This is the reason.

259
00:33:38,332 --> 00:33:43,788
How about our front lines and the cities
that need to have armies to defend them.

260
00:33:44,076 --> 00:33:46,736
How will we raise the money necessary
for them if the land is divided?

261
00:33:47,018 --> 00:33:49,799
This is true, but there is more.

262
00:33:50,225 --> 00:33:53,187
Those farmers and peasants
in Iraq and Syria:

263
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,502
What will happen to them
if we were to take their land

264
00:33:56,752 --> 00:33:58,845
and give it to the soldiers?

265
00:34:00,024 --> 00:34:02,767
Won't we be harder on them
than the Persian tax collectors

266
00:34:03,063 --> 00:34:04,542
and the Byzantine rulers?

267
00:34:04,895 --> 00:34:08,255
Haven't they accepted our authority
and become our subjects?

268
00:34:08,567 --> 00:34:11,440
Isn't it true that they only sided with us
and accepted our rule

269
00:34:11,709 --> 00:34:14,715
when they saw that Islam
is fair and compassionate?

270
00:34:15,532 --> 00:34:18,345
It is better, then, that
we leave them in their land

271
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,972
and take a normal land tax
to spend on defence

272
00:34:23,226 --> 00:34:25,522
and other needs of the population.

273
00:34:25,849 --> 00:34:28,757
In this case, they will be more
susceptible to Islam,

274
00:34:29,053 --> 00:34:31,089
and this is our aim.

275
00:34:31,428 --> 00:34:34,665
We are advocates of Divine guidance.

276
00:34:34,943 --> 00:34:38,132
We are not in it for either
tyranny or money.

277
00:34:40,726 --> 00:34:42,364
Peace be to you.

278
00:34:53,743 --> 00:34:55,239
Ameer Al-Mu'mineen!

279
00:34:55,558 --> 00:34:57,949
A group of traders
have arrived in Madinah.

280
00:34:58,244 --> 00:35:00,917
How do you like to join me
in guarding them tonight?

281
00:35:25,092 --> 00:35:29,906
What is wrong with this child
that he is continuously crying?

282
00:35:30,183 --> 00:35:32,965
Fear God and take care of your child.

283
00:35:37,312 --> 00:35:40,654
What is wrong with you, woman?
You seem to be a bad mother,

284
00:35:40,948 --> 00:35:43,308
letting the child cry all the time.

285
00:35:43,635 --> 00:35:45,842
I have told you to pacify him
but you did nothing.

286
00:35:46,158 --> 00:35:52,464
I am trying to distract him from my breast,
and to wean him, but he refuses.

287
00:35:53,871 --> 00:35:57,029
- How old is your baby?
- Six months.

288
00:35:57,433 --> 00:35:59,301
Why do you want to wean him so early?

289
00:35:59,550 --> 00:36:02,524
Umar gives an allowance only
to a weaned child, not a suckling one.

290
00:36:04,125 --> 00:36:06,411
All power operates by God's will.

291
00:36:07,688 --> 00:36:10,221
What have you done
to Muslim children, Umar?

292
00:36:15,502 --> 00:36:18,581
Look, woman.
Do not try to wean him.

293
00:36:18,899 --> 00:36:21,850
I guarantee you that Umar
will change his mind.

294
00:36:23,275 --> 00:36:30,118
I had made an allowance for weaned
children, but not suckling ones.

295
00:36:31,421 --> 00:36:38,157
I have changed my mind.
Do not hasten your babies weaning.

296
00:36:38,738 --> 00:36:43,823
The allowance will apply
to every child, suckling or weaned.

297
00:36:45,145 --> 00:36:51,021
We shall increase it as children grow up
and their needs increase.

298
00:36:54,722 --> 00:36:59,800
Aslam, announce this
throughout Madinah.

299
00:37:13,052 --> 00:37:19,396
Wretched is Umar. How many
Muslim children has he killed?

300
00:37:31,973 --> 00:37:34,146
This letter is from Amr Ibn Al-Aas.

301
00:37:35,105 --> 00:37:38,603
He has been besieging Jerusalem
for four months,

302
00:37:39,041 --> 00:37:41,801
but its walls give it protection.

303
00:37:42,453 --> 00:37:45,419
The Byzantine commander
was the leader of its defenders.

304
00:37:46,133 --> 00:37:49,740
However, he left for Egypt after he had
despaired of receiving any reinforcements.

305
00:37:52,822 --> 00:37:55,714
The people of the city and its Patriarch

306
00:37:56,558 --> 00:37:59,727
have expressed their desire to enter
into a peace agreement with us.

307
00:38:00,546 --> 00:38:02,918
However, they make it a condition

308
00:38:03,234 --> 00:38:05,763
that I myself should conclude
the Peace Agreement with them.

309
00:38:06,901 --> 00:38:08,743
What do you advise?

310
00:38:09,136 --> 00:38:13,058
Having sued for peace, they are clearly
not in a position to defend the city

311
00:38:13,407 --> 00:38:18,782
after the Byzantine forces have left them.
I feel that you should not go yourself.

312
00:38:19,133 --> 00:38:22,059
They will then realize that
you do not give them any high status,

313
00:38:22,344 --> 00:38:24,121
but rather ready to fight them.

314
00:38:24,558 --> 00:38:28,110
It will not be long before they
will accept to make peace with Amr.

315
00:38:29,794 --> 00:38:35,219
I think it is better that you go and
conclude the Peace Agreement with them

316
00:38:35,481 --> 00:38:37,093
as they have requested.

317
00:38:38,591 --> 00:38:42,511
They want the Peace Agreement
to be concluded by Ameer Al-Mu'mineen

318
00:38:42,798 --> 00:38:47,308
so as to be sure of their safety
and the safety of their churches

319
00:38:47,597 --> 00:38:50,361
and prayers to the end of time.

320
00:38:50,941 --> 00:38:55,501
They want to make sure that no Muslim
will later breach your agreement with them.

321
00:38:55,875 --> 00:38:58,026
You may go with God's blessings.

322
00:39:31,968 --> 00:39:33,788
Who is the Caliph?

323
00:40:18,101 --> 00:40:20,723
A very warm welcome to the just Caliph.

324
00:40:22,112 --> 00:40:24,538
Peace be to you with God's mercy.

325
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,349
None of them looks like a king.

326
00:41:20,183 --> 00:41:23,435
In the name of God, the Lord of Grace,
the Ever-Merciful.

327
00:41:23,701 --> 00:41:28,275
Here are the peace terms granted
by God's servant Umar Ibn Al-Khattab

328
