Umer Ibn Al Khattab Ep73 | Did Hazrat Umar Burn the Library of Alexandria? The Hidden Truth

🔥📚 Welcome to our latest video "Did Umar burn the Library of Alexandria?" 📚🔥 In this video, we delve into the historical events surrounding the burning of the Library of Alexandria. We explore the role of Umar Ibn Al-Khattab, the second Caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate, and address the question: Did Umar really order the burning of this ancient center of learning? 🤔 The Caliph Umar Ibn Al-Khattab (ra), when he conquered Alexandria in Egypt, it is claimed that he had burned the Library of Alexandria. The earliest quotation that is often used by proponents goes back as far as the 13th century. That is literally 500 hundred years after the demise of Umar Ibn al-Khattab (ra). Abd al-Latif al-Baghdadi who lived in the 13th century is one of the first people to allude to this. It is highly improbable that Umar Ibn al-Khattab (ra) would have taken such a decision. Besides, had he been of the view that there should be no need of any book except the Quran, then he would have also took the decision that there was no need of Churches, synonogues or fire-temples. It is historical fact, that all of the four Caliphs, Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Ali protected and gave security to Churches, synagogues and temples. For example, the first Caliph Abu Bakr Siddique (ra) would issue clear orders not to “desecrate” Churches and leave those who are attached to their religions alone. Do not deluge (destroy) date-palm trees, do not kill animals, do not cut down fruit-bearing trees, DO NOT DESECRATE A CHURCH, do not kill children, do not kill women and do not kill old people. You shall soon come upon those that have secluded themselves in monasteries/churches, you must let them be so that they may SAFELY engage in that for whose sake they have secluded themselves.” (al-Sunan al-Kubra, [Mecca, Saudi Arabia: Maktaba Dar al-Baz 1994] by Ahmad bin al-Husayn al-Bayhaqi, volume 9, page 85) Another Companion of the Prophet, Khalid Ibn Walid (ra) is said to have given guaranteed safety of the churchesHe gave them security for their persons, property, churches, and the wall of their city. None of their houses shall be destroyed or dwelt in. For this they have the promise of God, and the protection of His Prophet, the caliphs, and the believers. Nothing but good shall befall them if they tribute.’ (Futuh ul Buldan, Baladhuri, page 121) Join us as we journey back in time, examining historical records, scholarly interpretations, and cultural contexts to shed light on this intriguing subject.
