Abu Bakr is the first Rashidun Caliphate. The duration of his caliphate was two years and four months. The death of Holy Prophet had led to countless revolts. Abu Bakr using his wisdom spent most of his time as caliph attempting to crush and defeat these revolts. No other caliph had to face as many challenges as Abu Bakr. The revolts emerged as the news of the demise of the Holy Prophet began to spread.

Mohammad Hussain Heikal writes in this regard:

It was very sensitive era. The news of the death of Prophet Mohammad spread like a wildfire in every part of Arab world. It is said that no other news had spread so fast in the history of Arabs. Every tribe and every town soon became aware of this heartbreaking news.

Someone should take my CK2 access away from me, or else I may end up eternally making completely implausible alternate histories and going on power trips over breaking up the realms of digital vassal lords instead of using my free days on more productive stuff like cat fanfiction.

#not to brag but I went on a reconquista spree #not even 1066 and the Umayyad Caliphate has been fully pushed back into Morocco #I own most of Iberia except for the Kingdom of Valencia (France snatched it first) and the Duchy of Barcelona (French protectorate)#also only Catholic emperor around no HRE since I started at the Iron Century bookmark #AND I recently got my wife a nice new kingdom in Brittany!#(I mean she lost it almost immediately but it's the thought [and the fact the King of Brittany is my vassal now] that counts no?)

Beginning this set of Black military history posts with the early Islamic era proper:

Today's notes on Black military history begin with the various Fitnas of the Ummayyad era. These matter not least because of specific roles played by Zanj/Sudan slaves (both words meaning Black and both ultimately meaning it in the way that 'Colored' worked in the mouth of a 50s Segregationist at the time, though Sudan has a somewhat narrower and more positive meaning now).

They also matter because their nature and their history shaped the cultures and views of the Islamic world that would expand into east, west, central, and southern Africa. The first Fitna included the Battle of the Camel, where Aisha, the infamous wife whose age when she married her husband sticks a particularly loaded word on Muhammad and rightly so whether or not Muslims like accepting that, as a grown woman led an army against Ali, the Caliph whose reign touched off the war in the first place.

Her campaign was a defeat, that of Uthman, the founder of the Ummayyad Caliphate, OTOH, was a great success. The four Fitnas ultimately testified to a key element of instability in the rising power of the Islamic world, in the disjunction between what it took to effectively govern states, and the ability of Ulema demagogues to stir up trouble and go to and fro in the Earth and up and down in it to do so. What they did not do was provide enough instability in the region for the Islamic empire to truly stumble, while at the same time the military roles of the proto-Mamluks from what we would now call Sudan the country were key to deciding individual events in the specific battles of all the Fitnas. This would play a key role in what would decide the political and cultural aspects of the Islamic world, which shifted from a bid by the immediate family of Muhammad to a broader imperial dynastic sense, where Caliphs were Emperors in all but name.

Any time I see people call Israel a settler colonialist state I think about the history of the Mizrahi Jews who remained in Judea.

Mizrahi Jews in the seventh century, whose families had lived as native Israelites for 1,800 years, watching the Rashidun Caliphate move the first major wave of Arab Muslim migration into the imperial conquest they called "Military Palestine".

Mizrahi Jews who, over the course of the next 1,200 years, remained in the Levant. The ones who faced persecution, pogroms, and massacres under the Caliphates and Ottomans. The ones who stood strong and stayed put, as access to holy sites they had prayed at for three thousand years were taken from them. The ones who were faced with a choice between conversion and death, but chose neither.

Mizrahi Jews who watched as the modern State of Israel was established-- perhaps sighing in relief for just a moment. Maybe now, they would not be persecuted minorities in the land they had lived in for over three thousand years. Only to see other Mizrahim forced to flee their homes in Morocco, Yemen, Iraq, Egypt, Lebanon, Iran... Muslim-ruled countries that, through official law or social persecution, intentionally forced other Middle Eastern Jews to leave their homes and settle in Israel.

And the Mizrahi Jews today, who are the majority of the population of Israel. Most Israelis today are either Mizrahim who had lived in what is now Israeli territory for millennia, or Mizrahim who lived nearby and were forced by Muslim-majority nations to immigrate to Israel. Now, they get called "settler colonists", they get called "Europeans", they get called "fascists" and "Zionists". The world accuses them of occupying and stealing Palestinian land.

What were they supposed to have done differently?

Edit 12/27/23: Not so friendly reminder that if your "rebuttal" is to blame the actions of the Israeli government on Israeli civilians, I'm not even gonna bother to read the whole thing. I'll start believing that's a valid argument when average Americans get brought to the Hague for what the US government did in Cambodia.

Abu Bakr (R.A) is regarded as the "Successor of Allah's Messenger", and first of the Rightly Guided Caliphs and as the rightful successor to Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W).

@elenajones23 first of all, who are you, a non Jew to lecture me about what my religion does or doesn’t allow? Who are you to tell me, as someone who doesn't practice the same religion, that I can or cannot do things?

The Torah isn’t a simple set of guidelines and commands, it’s far more complex than that. It has different interpritations, so saying the torah doesn't allow it is blatantly false. The name "Zion" (Promised land) is mentioned 154 times.

“It isn’t your land and it never was your land” bullshit.

We absolutely do have a land, if we don't, then why do we have holy sights in Jerusalem? Why are names like "Jaffa" and "Haifa" Hebrew?

The land of Israel is where my ancestors came from, it is where they lived, it is where they had a connection to, and it is where they suffered under the romans and were exiled.

We were never welcomed in Europe, we were never welcomed in the rest of the middle east.

These are ancient scrolls called the "Dead sea scrolls" which are a set of ancient Jewish writings dating from the 3rd century BCE.

This is all of what remains of our ancient temple, this is what it once was:

The first temple is Solomon's temple, the second one is Herod's temple, which was destroyed in 70CE by the romans. centuries later, the Muslim caliphates built the Al Aqsa mosque which was built on top of our temple mount. Today, the west wall is all we have left of this historic holy place.

The name "Palestine" was given to the land of Israel by roman colonisers who exiled most of us from the land of Israel, took many of us slaves, and scattered everyone else through western Europe (Some moved further east).

Now about the Nazis = Zionist argument. The Nazis originally made a deal with German Zionist Jews (The Haavara agreement) to bring about a mass migration from Germany to Israel, it should be mentioned that this was because Hitler and the Nazis wanted a Jew-Free Europe, not because the Nazis supported Zionism.

This deal was criticized by both Nazis and Zionists. Zionist criticised it because it made a deal with the devil, and the Nazis criticised it because it went against their philosophy.

The Nazis were extremely antizionist, the belief that they were Zionists is soviet cold war propaganda to demonise the state of Israel and the broader Jewish community. They believed that Jews were biologically incapable of running their own state and were too inferior. Hitler had a "Palestinian" friend (Amin al-Husseini) who campaigned in Berlin, fought for a Palestinian state, and even CONTRIBUTED TO THE HOLOCAUST. They also lead a boycott of Jewish businesses in "Palestine".

So, you're wrong. So very very wrong. You can try to lecture me about the history of my own people and religion all you want, but you're wrong.

Please, kindly fuck off and read a history book. Please attend a Synagogue service and learn more about our religion before you come spewing false bullshit about it.

Alchemy loves a legendary founder. In the Fihrist, ibn-Nadim introduces us to the legend of Abū Hāshim Khālid ibn Yazīd ibn Muʿāwiya ibn Abī Sufyān, known in the west as Khalid ibn Yazid, or simply “Prince Khalid.” Now, Prince Khalid ibn Yazid was a real person. He was the son of Umayyad caliph Yazid I. Many, many important alchemical texts are attributed to him, but he probably didn’t write them. There are several theories as to why so many works were attributed to Khalid, but we aren’t going to go into them in this book. The complicated textual history of prince Khalid is important for us for two reasons: Even though the Arabs were excellent at compiling information, it’s still unclear who wrote what. And, when alchemy was reintroduced to Europe in 1144, the first book translated from Arabic into Latin was the Liber de compositione alchemiae, credited to who else but Prince Khalid. In reality, Arabic translators had been chewing through alchemical works since the reign of caliph al-Mansur, nearly 250 years before Khalid.

The foundations of Islamic alchemy, today on patreon.

Today I learned the name California originally came from a series of fictional books written in the early 1500s by a Spaniard called Garci Rodriguez de Montalvo, in which it was an island near to the lost Garden of Eden (which floated away during Noah's flood, never to be found again). The books were so popular that when the Spaniards got to what they first thought was an island*, they named it after the place in the books.

The island in these books was full of naked Amazonian warriors and trained griffins and gold was the only metal to be found there. Montalvo called it California because the queen of these women was called Calafia, who led her army of gold-armored ladies to fight alongside the Muslims at the siege of Constantinople until later converting to Christianity. This name Calafia is thought to have been chosen to sound like a female version of the Muslim leader, the Caliph.

And so, at least etymologically, California is the last surviving Caliphate.

-------------- * Weirdly, California was consistently listed as an island on European maps for around 200 years, and no-one seems to know why.
