The Middle East in the end times (Harun Yahya)
The Middle East in the end times (Harun Yahya) Tube. Duration : 47.88 Mins.
The people and events of the End Times -- the final period in the run-up to the Last Day -- have inspired considerable wonder for hundreds of years. Before moving on to the End Times and their features, it will be useful to clarify an important point. These are tidings imparted to Muslims in the Holy Qur'an, that the moral values of Islam will come to rule the world. In one verse, Allah reveals: "Allah has promised those of you who believe and do right actions that He will make them successors in the land as He made those before them successors, and will firmly establish for them their religion with which He is pleased and give them, in place of their fear, security. 'They worship Me, not associating anything with Me.' Any who are unbelievers after that, such people are deviators." (Surat an-Nur, 55) In addition, a great many authentic hadith also describe in great detail how Islamic moral values will prevail the world, how that dominion will come about, and the position of Muslims before and during that time. From these it appears that there will be great degeneration and corruption prior to the End Times, following which mankind will attain salvation with the ruling of the moral values of Islam. In the first stage of the End Times there will be a huge increase in wars, conflict, killings, moral degeneration, oppression, famine and poverty, and people will ask Allah for a helper, a savior, to free them from the terrible conditions in which they find themselves. In the ...

The Holy Mountain Athos • 1
The Holy Mountain Athos • 1 Video Clips. Duration : 13.02 Mins.
Mount Athos as a monastic community was formally founded in 963, when St. Athanasius (not to be confused with the 4th century St. Athanasius the Great) established the monastery of Great Lavra, still the largest and most prominent of the 20 monasteries. It enjoyed the protection of the emperors of the Eastern Roman Empire during the following centuries and its wealth and possessions grew considerably. The Fourth Crusade in the 13th century brought new Roman Catholic overlords which forced the monks to seek protection from Pope Innocent III, until the restoration of the Byzantine Empire. It was raided by Catalan mercenaries in the 14th century, a century that also saw the theological conflict over the hesychasm practised on Mount Athos and defended by Gregory Palamas. The Byzantine Empire collapsed in the 15th century and the newly established Islamic Ottoman Empire took over. They heavily taxed the monasteries, but for the most part left them alone. The population of monks and their wealth declined over the next centuries, but was revitalised around the 19th century by the donations and new arrivals from other Orthodox countries, such as Russia, Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia, while each country came to exert its influence on individual monasteries. In 1912, during the First Balkan War, the Ottomans were forced out and after a brief conflict between Greece and Russia over sovereignty, the peninsula formally came under Greek sovereignty after World War I. Politically the ...

Sen Cok Yasa Osman Pasa
Sen Cok Yasa Osman Pasa Tube. Duration : 2.93 Mins.
The Ottoman Empire was one of the longest running and largest empires in existence, at it's height it had encompassed much of the known world yet throughout it's history it gave respect to the subjects of the empire, allowing them to practice their culture, religion and identity. The rise of mass nationalism early in the 20th century sealed the fate of the empire and some 50 plus nations were created out of the what was known as the sick man of Europe. In retrospect it's greatest strength being equal treatment for all people within the empire also become it's greatest weakness as the Ottomans did not naturalize the people that it had conquered unlike many other empires that did or attempted to do. Contrary to popular western belief the Ottomans did not force the non Muslim subjects to fight in it's wars. It did however in the exchange of its Christian subjects not having to serve military service (which usually consisted of years long end military service) charge an additional war time tax known as Jizra which supported financially the empire's war efforts. Christian subjects that did however fight in the name of the Ottomans against the myriad of the Ottomans enemies were not required to pay this tax. The most well known Christian warriors of the Ottoman empire were the famous Janissaries who were fanatically loyal to the Sultan. They were Christian children brought in from the Balkans who's Christian parents often competed with each other in order to gain the attention ...

Greek Army Parade(Greek War of Independence-1821)25-3-09 Part 2 Tube. Duration : 5.08 Mins.
Informations from:en.wikipedia.org War_of_Independence The Greek War of Independence (also known as the Greek Revolution) (Greek: Ελληνική Επανάσταση Elliniki Epanastasi; Ottoman Turkish: يونان عصياني Yunan İsyanı) was a successful war of independence waged by the Greek revolutionaries between 1821 and 1829, with later assistance from several European powers, against the Ottoman Empire, who were assisted by their vassals, the Egyptian Khedivate. After a long and bloody struggle, the Greeks thus became the first people of the Ottoman Empire's subjects to secure recognition as an independent nation by the Treaty of Constantinople in July 1832. The anniversary of Greece's independence (March 25, 1821) is a national holiday in Greece and was deliberately chosen to coincide with the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary. The Fall of Constantinople in 1453 and the subsequent fall of the successor states of the Eastern Roman, or Byzantine, Empire marked the end of Byzantine sovereignty. Since then, the Ottoman Empire ruled the Balkans, Anatolia, and most other formerly Greek-speaking regions with the exception of the Ionian Islands, Agrafa mountains, Sfakia region of Crete, Souli and the Mani Peninsula.[2] While many Greeks under Ottoman rule preserved their culture and traditions, largely with the help of the Greek Orthodox Church, they were a subject people and lacked basic political rights, with few exceptions.[citation needed] However, in the 18th and 19th century, as ...
