Al-Mu'tasim bin Al-Rashid stormed the fortresses of Amuriyah
0:30
In 150 thousand of his soldiers
0:33
And he conquered the city that was dear to the conquerors
0:36
From the time of Alexander the Great until his day
0:40
The Amorite incident was a surprise in the face of time
0:44
A gem in the history of Islam
0:47
And Taj Zan Al-Muatasem Junction
0:50
Guardian of Amoriah, strong and fortified
0:53
And its most glorious day
0:56
And to the Caliph who shook its foundations
0:59
And undermined its structure
1:01
An exciting story fueled by faith
1:04
Her core is pride
1:06
So let us enjoy this great day
1:09
It is one of the masterpieces of God's days
1:12
This story begins
1:15
The day I send your door open
1:17
One of the mighty Persians
1:19
Non-Islam and Muslims
1:22
A letter to Theophile, King of Rome
1:25
He says in it
1:28
I resisted the Muslims for twenty years
1:31
And I killed fifty and two hundred thousand
1:34
One of their best soldiers
1:36
It defeated seven of their top commanders
1:39
Thousands of people are exhausted
1:42
Who is generous with their money?
1:44
It came without them and they could not set foot on the reefs
1:47
A region located in Upper Persia
1:50
Al-Mu'tasim Al-Abbasi
1:53
He wanted to avenge himself
1:55
Al-Ma'mun was executed before him
1:57
So he sent all his soldiers to fight
2:00
And he penetrated my fight, especially his men
2:03
Until he was among those who recruited them
2:06
A tailor who sews clothes
2:09
And his cook who cooks his food
2:12
If you want to avenge your religion and your people
2:15
Of the Muslims and their successors
2:17
This irreplaceable opportunity will be missed
2:20
Be careful not to let it slip away and you will regret it
2:23
Where regret is of no use
2:26
Yeovil was convinced that what he told him was true
2:29
Your door is open
2:31
He was known to be the Caliph of the Muslims
2:33
He is determined to destroy your door movement
2:36
No matter how expensive it is
2:39
Yeovil did not want to miss this opportunity
2:42
On himself and his people
2:44
He was determined to take revenge on the Muslim caliphs
2:48
Who forced them more than once
2:51
So he paid the tribute while they were humiliated
2:54
So Yeovil prepared for the matter
2:57
And he took his gift
2:59
He headed to the city of Zapatra
3:02
Birthplace of Al-Mu'tasim
3:04
One hundred and seventy thousand of his soldiers
3:07
And the descent of Manun descended on the afflicted city
3:11
He demolished its fortresses
3:13
And he seized her land
3:15
And its defenders were captured
3:17
He took her women and children captive
3:20
And all of that did not heal his heartache
3:24
Even an example to his captive is an evil example
3:27
So he poisoned their eyes
3:29
He pricked their noses and hardened their ears
3:32
He toured them around his country
3:35
While the Khurramite movement was...
3:38
She took her last breath
3:40
Under the weight of Al-Mu'tasim's powerful armies
3:43
Her idol was Babak
3:46
He was captured by the brave Muslim soldiers
3:50
Caliph Al-Mu'tasim was going out to protect his victorious army
3:54
He wears two scarves of jewels over his victorious leader
3:59
He and his military personnel will receive twenty thousand dirhams
4:04
While the joys were reaching their peak in all Muslim countries
4:09
The soldiers were encircling it at the head of Babak Al-Khurami
4:14
Al-Mu'tasim received news of the Nakba of Zabarta
4:18
It was conveyed to him that a Muslim woman was one of the chaste and chaste women
4:23
It has fallen into the hands of a powerful Roman man
4:26
When they were taking her captive, she called out
4:29
Wa Mutasama
4:32
The call shook his chivalry and aroused his manhood
4:36
He got up from his bed and said
4:39
Here you are, here you are
4:41
Al-Mu'tasim just got up
4:44
He dressed for his nation and took up his weapons
4:47
He carried a bag and put some food in it
4:50
And he rode immunity
4:52
He shouted at the gates of his palace
4:55
He swore that he would not return to him except as a martyr carried on his necks
5:00
Or a victorious avenger for the dearly afflicted city
5:05
And the raped Muslim woman
5:08
Then he left the Caliphate Palace for his watch
5:11
He stayed ten nights in the public house in Baghdad
5:15
To prepare the equipment, draw up the plan, and mobilize the army
5:19
When it prepared a device the likes of which had never been prepared by any of the Muslim caliphs
5:26
The judge of Baghdad, Abd al-Rahman bin Ishaq, was brought
5:30
He brought with him three hundred men of justice
5:34
So he made them witness to his will and the division of his estate
5:38
So he gave a third of his money to God
5:40
The rest goes to his wives, children, and dependents
5:44
Of his entire wealth, he only took an eighth of his shroud
5:48
Al-Mu'tasim hoped to meet the enemy of God and his enemy with the army of Al-Lajab
5:54
In it, as historians say
5:57
Eighty thousand Ablaq horses
5:59
Eighty thousand horses, Adham
6:02
God willing, there are catapults, weapons, and war machines
6:06
This is in addition to what the soldiers need
6:10
From menstruation, narratives, and closeness
6:13
He made his destination Amoria
6:16
That's because she was a Christian soul
6:19
The road leading to Constantinople
6:22
And the city that was destroyed by the conquerors
6:25
From the time of Alexander to the day of Al-Mu'tasim
6:28
So I strengthened them and brought them back subjugated
6:32
This was only because it had built fortresses
6:37
And rebellious signs
6:39
It is also the city of the ruling family
6:42
And the birthplace of Theophile, the Roman Emperor
6:46
Al-Mu'tasim sent a large contingent of his army to Ankara
6:51
To give up Theophile and distract him from him
6:54
He headed with the rest of his army towards Amoria
6:58
I did not approach the great city
7:01
He divided his army into three armies
7:04
Each of them had its own leader to guide it
7:08
Each army was assigned a day in which it would fight on alternate days
7:13
When the first army arrived
7:15
He went around Amoriah two times
7:18
Then he took his position at its walls
7:21
Then the second army followed
7:23
So he circled around it
7:25
He occupied his assigned position
7:28
Then they were followed by the Third Army
7:30
He settled in his intended place
7:33
In the first week of the holy month of Ramadan
7:38
In the year two hundred and twenty-three AH
7:41
Catapults had been set up around the Amorite walls on each side
7:47
The three Muslim armies were
7:50
Surrounding the fortified city
7:52
The waves surround an island in the sea
7:56
Encircling it is like handcuffs around the wrists
8:00
The first army fought in its shift
8:03
He suffered the greatest calamity in his fighting
8:06
Then the second army followed them in its shift
8:09
He added more than the first army and took a loan from it
8:12
Then they were followed by the Third Army
8:15
It was led by Al-Mu'tasim himself
8:18
He showed great courage and ingenuity
8:21
People have hardly forgotten the merit of the two previous armies
8:25
The fighting continued like this for a few days
8:30
However, the city walls are destroyed
8:33
Withstood the attacks of Muslim catapults
8:37
She was not affected by it at all
8:40
However, this did not fail to support Al-Mu'tasim and his army
8:44
He did not upset them because of their confidence in victory
8:47
But their distress is another matter
8:50
Narrated by Abu Bakr Al-Souli, who said:
8:53
It was narrated that Yaqoub bin Jaafar bin Suleiman said
8:57
I invaded with Al-Mu'tasim on the day of Amuriya
9:00
A Roman man used to get up every day
9:03
On one of the city walls
9:06
He curses the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
9:09
In Arabic, the most horrific insults
9:12
He mentions his name and lineage
9:14
This became more difficult for Muslims
9:17
It aroused their feelings
9:19
They started throwing crossbows at him, but they did not hit him
9:23
And I was throwing well
9:26
While the man was doing that heinous act
9:29
Adopted by the young woman
9:31
So I got injured
9:33
He fell over the wall
9:35
The Muslims grew up and cheered
9:37
Al-Mu'tasim was pleased and said
9:40
Ali with the man who shot him
9:42
So I appeared in his hands
9:44
He gave me the warmest welcome
9:47
He praised me very highly
9:49
Then he said
9:51
Who are you?
9:52
So I belonged to him
9:54
I was from Banu Hashim
9:56
And he said
9:57
Praise be to God who made this arrow a reward
10:00
For a man from my family
10:03
Then he turned to me and said
10:05
Sell me your reward from this share
10:08
So I said
10:09
The reward is not what is sold, O Commander of the Faithful
10:13
And he said
10:14
I desire you
10:16
He offered me one hundred thousand dirhams
10:18
So I said, “I will not sell my reward.”
10:21
He is still increasing it
10:23
Until it reached 500 thousand dirhams
10:26
So I said
10:27
I would not trade my reward for the world and what is in it
10:30
But I have given you half of the reward for this share
10:34
God is my witness to that
10:37
Al-Mu'tasim explained the greatest pleasure and said:
10:40
May God reward you
10:42
And turn away from me and fight the enemy of God and his enemy
10:46
It continued from the Muslim army
10:49
The city was struck ten days in a row
10:53
Perhaps there was a loophole in it, but it did not work
10:57
Here fate helped Al-Mu'tasim with a man from among the Muslims
11:02
The Romans had captured him a few years ago
11:05
He converted to Christianity and resided in Amoria
11:08
As soon as he saw the Islamic army raising the call to prayer across the sky
11:13
He heard the cheering and the takbir
11:16
Until his soul yearned for the religion of God
11:19
Faith in God awoke in his chest
11:22
He sneaked out of the fortified city
11:25
He took refuge in the Muslim armies
11:27
He announced the two certificates
11:29
He revealed to Al-Mu'tasim a big secret
11:32
He told Al-Mu'tasim
11:34
That a part of the city wall had been destroyed
11:38
Because of a massive torrent that swept over him
11:41
So Yeovil wrote to his governor in Amoria to rebuild it
11:46
The worker issued a fatwa regarding that
11:49
He didn't know you were coming
11:51
Until he quickly built the outside of the wall with stones
11:55
And his internal camouflage is a camouflage
11:58
Then Al-Mu'tasim indicated his location
12:01
The Caliph directed the catapults to that place
12:05
He started hurling it at him, one after the other
12:09
Until the fence cracked
12:11
And a gap opened up from him
12:13
At that
12:15
The Muslim soldiers approached the open breach
12:18
The thirsty person seeks a fresh resource on a hot day
12:23
They crowded on their horses to meet the enemy of God and their enemy inside the city
12:29
It took place among the few who were able to influence Amoria
12:34
And among the many Romans
12:37
Fierce battles
12:39
All he could hear was the clashing of swords
12:42
The murmur of the fighters
12:44
And the resonance of spears and the patience of those who were pierced
12:48
The sun did not set on the seventeenth of Ramadan
12:52
In the year two hundred and twenty-three AH
12:55
Except that it was an ancient and ancient city
12:59
It was opened to the victorious Muslim armies
13:03
Al-Mu'tasim bin Al-Rashid was seen
13:06
He enters the city of Amoria on the back of his red horse
13:11
He bowed his head in submission to God
13:14
Thank you for his blessings
13:16
The Muslims took spoils on this Day of Amoria
13:20
Spoils that cannot be counted and whose price cannot be estimated
13:24
They captured seventy thousand of its people there
13:27
They took the spoils and prisoners out to the outskirts of the city
13:31
Then Al-Mu'tasim ordered Amuriyya
13:34
Its walls were demolished
13:36
And its structure was destroyed
13:38
Its features were removed
13:40
It was burned for many days
13:43
Until I left it standing
13:46
As if you didn't sing yesterday
13:50
Caliph Al-Zahir returned to Baghdad, the base of his rule
13:54
It was preceded by good tidings of the great conquest
13:58
So the people went out completely
14:00
They receive him with cheers
14:03
They greet him by saying “Allahu Akbar.”
14:05
They sprinkle it on a mug containing basil and roses
14:09
Poets received praise
14:12
Abu Tammam recited his last verse in front of him, which will last forever
14:17
And he addressed him, saying:
14:20
Caliph of God, may God reward your effort
14:24
The germ of religion, Islam and calculation
14:27
You saw the great relief but you did not see it
14:31
You get only on a bridge of fatigue
14:34
If there is a womb between the ends of eternity
14:37
Connected or uncontracted slander
14:41
Between your days in which you were victorious
14:44
Between the days of Badr the closest lineage
14:48
And there is no deception
14:50
Badr was on the seventeenth of Ramadan
14:53
Amoria was also on the 17th
14:57
I prefer Ramadan
14:59
He preferred his brightest days
