Salam Alaikum & Hello! My name's Tariq and I run Hikma History, dedicated to exploring the rich History of the Islamic World. If you want to learn about Islamic civilisation's incredible past from a non-religious perspective, this is the channel for you! I've been obsessed with History since I was 9 - stories from the past seemed more incredible to me than movies. I was captivated as a youth by tales of Al-Andalus, the rise and dominance of the Ottomans, the splendor and wealth of the Mughals, the vigor and ambition of the Mongols and Timurids. So that's my mission - to help spread awareness of the past so that others can also appreciate those same wonderful stories. Although a one-man team at the moment, as I expand the team I want make longer-format content - I'm talking full blown documentaries! Education: BA, MA & PhD (ongoing) in History.

Video Description
In 1698, a child was born in the mountainous regions of North Khorasan. Despite the fact that he came from no royal lineage—his father was a mere shepherd—he would one day become the last of the Asiatic world-conquerors, in the vein of Timur and Chinggis Khan. The boy’s name was Nadr-Qoli, meaning “servant of the wonderous one (God)”. There was nothing about Nadr-Qoli’s circumstances which marked him out for greatness. His ancestry was undistinguished, his place of birth remote, and his social connection were unremarkable. The collapse of the Safavid Empire, however, would provide the opening that a young ambitious man required. With Persia being overrun by the Hotaks, Nader took charge of the fight back, expelling the Afghans from the country. From there he established the Afsharid Dynasty and declared his mission to conquer lands in all directions. In the process, he became Asia’s Last Great Conqueror.
