Some clarification about Jizyah and Kharaj. Jizyah was actually a fixed amount and not a percentage. Its value was usually around 1-2 Dinars A YEAR. On the other hand, Zakat is a percentage therefore it's always variable in exact value. However, one thing that is certain is that it was almost always higher than Jizyah by orders of magnitude. I can't find exact numbers for reference but all sources from this time seem to agree on this aspect. However, this also means that the richer a Muslim gets, the more taxes they paid. However, the richer a non-Muslim got, they'd still pay the same amount (although there are cases where Jizyah could be increased for the rich for up to 20 Dinars. Still less than what a Muslim making the same amount would have to pay) Another thing to note is that Jizyah was only paid by men that are able to pay it. If you couldn't pay it, you are exempted from it. If you are a woman, child, or elderly, you were also exempted. Kharaj was 10% and almost every recorded case of it being higher was caused by corruption of the leader of the area. Usher was also 10%. That means, overall, non-muslims were paying less taxes than Muslims AND they didn't have to go to war and Muslims were actually forced to protect them. Finally, to put all of this all into perspective. The average American pays 15-20% of their annual income in taxes. Some parts of Europe pay 50% or more. No matter how you look at it, both Muslims and non-Muslims during that period of time paid significantly less taxes than what we pay today.

Jizyah was not a percentage it was a fixed amount and depended on the income of the person from 4 to 20 for the rich 1 for the poor(dinars)(gold coin). Sources: 1Islamic Jurisprudence: Classical Islamic jurists like Abu Yusuf, a prominent disciple of Imam Abu Hanifa, wrote about the jizya in his work Kitab al-Kharaj. He describes how the jizya should be assessed based on a person’s financial status, with different fixed amounts assigned to the wealthy, middle class, and the poor. 2Historical Accounts: The jizya was implemented differently across various Islamic empires, such as the Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates. Historical texts from these periods often describe the jizya as a fixed annual levy, rather than a percentage of income. 3 Modern Scholarship: Contemporary historians like Bernard Lewis and Ira M. Lapidus have written extensively on Islamic taxation, including the jizya. In their works, they discuss how the jizya was applied as a fixed sum and how the rates varied by region and time period.

Religiously zakat isn't meat to be only spent on Muslims but it was done so by ummayads.

@Dr_Holiday
Let’s clarify a few things: In Islam, the religion doesn’t concern itself with the actions of certain individuals. There is no prescribed percentage for Jizyah, unlike Zakat, which is set at 2.5% of one’s wealth. Non-Muslims are not entirely exempt from military service; they may choose to join the army or pay Jizyah, which is never more than the taxes paid by Muslims. Muslims, on the other hand, are required to pay Zakat and other government taxes, regardless of their military service. A Muslim nation must protect non-Muslims under its rule and never impose unjust hardships or laws upon them, as doing so is entirely against Islam.
@manuelperezpavon3864
Cool video, but, there was a mistake. Abd el-Rahman founded an Emirate, it was Abd el-Rahman III who started the caliphate of Cordoba, and when the caliphate ended, the templars were not the ones attacking it, the ones attacking it were the christian kingdoms on the north (Castilla, Leon, Navarra, and the Catalan and Aragones counties, and later, Portugal)
@walidjd7091
As a Berber myself I have to clarify something … First of all great video I love the animations, humor and of course historical facts of it all. I only wish to point out that in no way berbers are « fair » skinned because of european empires … Berbers have inhabited North Africa for at least 6000 years and we have paintings of them (called Lybians back then) dating back to the ancient egyptian civilization and they were white… whiter than the egyptians even though no european had ever set foot in North Africa yet. Genetic studies have debunked the myth of European ascendance a while ago now. Berbers (or amazigh) are either whitish in the north (Rif🇲🇦, Kabyle 🇩🇿 …) tan a bit more south (Chleuh🇲🇦) and only a feeew are black (tuareg and certain mixed chleuh in morocco). Most black amazighs are black because of mixing during the slave trade … not the other way around. Modern day Chleuhs from the High Atlas🇲🇦 are those who mixed the less (genetically and linguistically proven) and they are at most tanned. We must keep in mind that Africa is a continent where multiple indigenous ethnicities and colors co-exist… just like in Asia there are Huan Chinese but also Arabs and also Punjabis etc … multiple colors indigenous to a single continent. Africa is not only black, Africa is white/tan to the north because well… Mediterranean climate, and black to the south of the Sahara. Other than this beautiful video thank you keep it up 🫡

😮Omg finally after 3 months love the quality and the animation
@RAFINPATWARY
Bruh... The Umayyad had a large number of Christian soldiers in their army. What are you talking about?? The Umayyad also fell because of their preference towards Syrians instead of the Arabs & Persians. Jizya is also not a percentage but a fixed amount... The main problem the Umayyads had was that the empire was too large, but they had little people to govern the territory & assure the loyalty of the Barbars...
@sachinramesh8527
Oh no I can't finish my homework, Historically dropped
@FreePalestine07462
5:35 yes non Muslims were allowed to join the military and they were exempted from paying jizya, and no it wasn’t a fixed 30% tax it depends on the payer for example a male must pay his taxes while women. Handicapped, monks, hermits did not pay jizya
@Mariri.X0X0

@AbdallahbenAtef
الجزية أقل من الزكاة غالبا الجزية مقدار ثابت مقدر حاليا ب12 -6 دولار و توجب على الرجل القادر على العمل، أما الفقراء فهم ياخذون حاجتهم من الدولة أما الزكاة فمقدارها غير ثابت وقد تصل إلى مبالغ ضخمة إذا كان صاحب المال غني
@Ibrahim0631
Islam exempted women, children, the poor, monks, and the disabled from paying the jizya. The jizya was not collected from women, girls, boys, the poor, the elderly, the blind, the lame, the monk, or the mentally ill. Islam went further and took it upon itself to provide for the elderly and disabled among the People of the Covenant. The jizya was often a fixed amount that was estimated according to their economic status.
@mansourrj9698
