Omar Bin Khattab ( Series ) Full

Caution: The following show contains disturbing images for young children

What separate us are the river and the bridge.

You either cross over to us or we cross over to you.

They say that either we or they cross over to the other side.

Tell them to cross to us.

They do not dare death more than us. We will cross over.

I appeal to you to reconsider, Abu Ubaid.

Abu Ubaid, they are known for their wickedness and trickery.

I do not think they will wait

until we have completed the crossing and marshalled our troops.

They will attack us when we are unprepared.

What is the matter with you?

Are you afraid?

If we do not cross over, they will think that we have weakened,

and this will boost their morale. That is half the victory.

I have made up my mind, so you obey my orders.

Hold it! Hold it!

Hold it! Hold it!

Don't be afraid! Stop!

- God is Supreme. - God is Supreme.

God is Supreme. God is Supreme.

God is Supreme.

We are standing there giving you cover until you have gone back.

Cross back in an orderly way.

God is Supreme. God is Supreme.

Indeed, we won at the bridge, but with six thousands of our men killed.

Six thousands killed

despite the Muslims being cornered in a narrow area at the bridge.

What would have happened had we met them in an open area,

or if they did not choose to cross over to our army?

Then what happened after that?

Why has Commander Bahman returned with the majority of the army to Al-Mada'in,

when he could have chased the Muslims

who were much weakened and exterminate them all?

He only sent a section of the army with Jaban and Mirdenshah to chase them.

They were fewer than necessary for a victory.

and too many to sacrifice.

And the result? A defeat that has wiped away the earlier victory,

and the loss of two of our best commanders: Jaban and Mirdenshah.

All this because Bahman preferred to return with the bulk of the army,

letting this opportunity disappear.

I thought that the Muslims who survived the Battle of the Bridge

were too weak to resist the force I sent with Jaban and Mirdenshah.

Now we know that you have miscalculated.

Why don't you come out with the truth, Commander?

Why don't you say that the minister and Commander-in-Chief, Rustom,

wrote to you instructing you to return straightaway?

Had we been spared the plots and schemes of some of the princes and commanders,

I would have done that.

My duty, however, is to fight on two fronts at the same time.

Both wars are interlinked: against the Muslims there

and against the enemies of the kingdom here.

Who are these princes and commanders?

Why don't you name them so that we move to arrest them and kill them?

Or do you mean me?

You are not more loyal to her majesty than me.

If you have evidence to suggest that I am a traitor, produce it

and I will submit myself to her majesty's decision.

Enough of this dispute which threatens the very existence of our kingdom.

I placed my trust in you both.

Now you should better know that I will not side with either of you,

no matter how you try.

If this is not brought to end,

I will relinquish the throne and let things work themselves out.

I do not wish to be blamed for the final fall of the Persian Empire.

Are you going to the mosque wearing this?

Isn't it enough to clothe me and protect me form heat and cold?

My allowance gives me two robes.

The other one is in the same condition.

You can request your companions to allow your a third.

I will never do.

But, you!

Wouldn't you rather pray at home? You know what I like.

Do you want me to relinquish the reward of collective prayer

and to miss what Ameer Al-Mu'mineen says to admonish people?

If it must be done, them keep it to the day prayers,

not the dawn and the night prayers.

Do you mean this as a prohibition?

Umar would never prohibit something the Prophet allowed.

He said: "Do not prohibit women to attend mosques."

Who goes first: you or I?

It is better that people should be in the mosque ahead of the imam.

Ameer Al-Mu'mineen!

People are demanding high dowries, and we are unable to get married.

Would you kindly admonish them?

Some of you have complained to me about people asking high dowries,

making it difficult for young people to get married.

Do not ask for more than 400 dirhams in dowry,

even if the bride is the daughter of one of your chiefs.

Anyone who asks more,

I will take the extra and add it to the state treasury.

What?

This is not up to you, Ameer Al-Mu'mineen.

- Why not? - Because God says:

"If you wish to take one wife in place of another"

"and you have given the first one a large sum of money,"

"do not take away anything of it."

"Would you take it away"

"though that constitutes a gross injustice and a manifest sin?"

How can you, then, threaten to take any excess of the limit you have imposed

and put it in the state treasury?

A woman is right, and a man is wrong.

May God forgive me.

Everyone is more learned than Umar.

Let me make clear that I take back what I said.

Whoever wants to give of his money any amount he is happy to give may do so.

But anyone who seeks to make it easy for young Muslims

will hope that God will make it easy for him.

Here is Abdullah Ibn Zaid who is one of Abu Ubaid's in Iraq.

What news do you bring, Abdullah?

The news has arrived, after the prayer, God willing.

All power operates by God's will.

May God bestow His mercy on Abu Ubaid.

Had he abandoned his position and come to me,

after seeing the huge number of the Byzantines and the little number of his army

I would have been his reinforcement

and I would then have called on people to join him.

As for Al-Muthanna, I pray that God will grant him generous reward.

He has proved himself worthy of the description

that makes him a man of noble descent and personal distinction.

He began the struggle in Iraq before our forces set out there.

He then agreed to serve under Khalid, then under Abu Ubaid.

He never sought to be the commander,

even though he was in the forefront of the fight against the Persians.

By God, we shall not let him down, now that he is requesting reinforcements.

We will send him one force and army after another,

even if this means that I should go myself.

Let us send callers to jihad to all Arab tribes, wherever they are.

We agreed that I would rule for ten years,

then we'll try to find one of the descendants of Khosrau Parvez who disappeared

I have come to know that among their survivors

is a grandson of Khosrau Parvez called Yizdejird,

son of Shahriyar who was one of those killed by his brother Shirweih.

His mother managed to flee with him

and hid him with her family in Istakhr.

He is the last male of the descendants of Khosrau and the Sassanides.

I have decided not to wait for ten years.

It appears to me that these commanders,

and the public,

will not be truly united unless they are under a strong man of Khosrau's descendants.

In that case, they will not hope to control a woman like myself.

If the throne of Khosrau is occupied by the one who has the rightful claim to it,

and the people are united under him,

these commanders will no longer hope to have a share of the throne.

They will then attend to their proper task,

which is the war and nothing else.

I have tried,

and I had no interest other than the fate of Persia

and the legacy of its kings.

But... I was here managing as best as I could,

with great resources and riches at my disposal,

as well as the heritage of a thousand years or more

of the glory and greatness of Persia.

Yet, far away in the Muslim's capital,

in the desert land of poverty, mud houses and hair tents,

there is their top prince, whom they call Caliph,

managing as well.

I must admit now that he has defeated me.

It is right, then, that I should step down and be lost to memory.

I wish I could see with my own eyes the man who has defeated me,

so as to know what sort of person he is.

I would like to know whether his commanders and soldiers were able to win

because of him, or he won because of them,

or is their victory due to them all.

Will you take me with you, young man?

Ameer Al-Mu'mineen! Do ride please, Ameer Al-Mu'mineen!

No. You ride and I will ride behind you.

No one shall see me riding with Ameer Al-Mu'mineen behind me.

Do you want me to be at the more comfortable place

while you be at the less comfortable?

Come on! Do as you are told.

- Ameer Al-Mu'mineen! - Ameer Al-Mu'mineen!

Let me down.

You may go now.

I would rather wait for you and take you back with me.

God bless you. You better go.

This is your best day since you were born,

if only you could realize. He is Ameer Al-Mu'mineen.

Ameer Al-Mu'mineen! Peace be to you with God's mercy.

And to you be peace with God's mercy.

I have come to inspect the charity camels and this meadow.

How are you doing?

As you have instructed, Ameer Al-Mu'mineen.

We do not prevent anyone with camels to come and graze.

And no distinction between people?

The are all equal in grazing and the water spring.

This is the right way to do. The place is owned by all Muslims.

Is it enough to accommodate the charity camels and people's camels?

Yes, so far.

We have to organize their turns at the water, though.

If the numbers of charity camels and people's camels increases,

the meadow may be too small for them all.

Whose land is that?

It belongs to Bilal Ibn Al-Harith. God's Messenger gave it to him.

It is not planted with any plants or date trees.

It is large.

Bilal has reclaimed a portion of it and left a portion

as he is unable to look after the entire plot.

Find him and send him to me.

Ameer Al-Mu'mineen!
