Yaqeen Podcast ·

2026/01/17

When a pillar of leadership disappeared, the ummah didn’t just face uncertainty— it began to fracture. Division spread quickly: fear, suspicion, propaganda, and leaders willing to bargain away dignity just to survive. Loyalties splintered. Cities hesitated. Unity became fragile. And in the midst of that chaos, a name returned from the shadows— bringing with it a plot so unthinkable it forced the entire Muslim world to respond.

Why Jerusalem Fell in the First Crusade | Ep. 2 | The...

Yaqeen Podcast ·

2025/12/21

Before Jerusalem fell, something else collapsed first. The First Crusade wasn’t won because the Crusaders were stronger or more numerous.

This episode traces that collapse from Europe’s mobilization to Antioch, Ma‘arra, and the fall of Jerusalem in 1099. More importantly, it asks the uncomfortable questio...
