The Rise of the Assassins: The Salahuddin Generation | SERIES PREMIER
Before Salahuddin could unite the Muslim world, earlier leaders had to address deep internal divisions. When radical groups like the Qarmatians stole the Black Stone and extremist factions terrorized scholars, visionaries like Nizam al-Mulk responded by building institutions—the Nizamiyya schools—that would educate the generation of scholars who would guide leaders like Nur al-Din and Salahuddin.Sign up for exclusive updates on this series: https://yqn.io/231b800:00 - The worst time in Islamic history?4:19 - Emergence of the Ismaili Empire9:40 - How the Qaramita stole the Black Stone from the Ka’bah11:30 - The founding of Cairo and spread of Ismailism13:36 - The arrival of the Seljuks and Nizam al-Mulk 17:47 - Imam al-Ghazali’s response to the Ismailis and philosophers21:57 - The Order of the Assassins25:47 - The attempt to assassinate Salahuddin (rh) This episode draws on leading historical works about Salahuddin and the revival that reshaped the Muslim world.

Training Your Temper and Responding to Insults | Servants of Most Merciful | Ep. 2 | Dr. Omar Suleiman
Dr. Omar Suleiman explores the second defining quality of Ibad ur-Rahman (Servants of the Most Merciful): those who embody forbearance (hilm) and composure when confronted by ignorance or provocation.“When the ignorant address them, they only respond with peace.” — Qur’an 25:63What does it mean to stay calm when you’re tested? How do we respond to rudeness, mockery, or anger without losing our dignity? Through stories of the Prophet ﷺ and the early believers, Dr. Omar Suleiman reveals that this verse is not about remaining silent in the face of oppression, but about rising above the foolish, refusing to be drawn into their heat, and maintaining moral strength when emotions run high.
