This lesson with Dr Yakoob serves as the 2nd part to a 3-part intensive overview of Ottoman history recorded as part of the Karima Foundation to Alimiyyah boys' classes.

Ustad Yakoob also highlights the importance of history for Muslims, especially Ottoman history and the need to link ourselves to our past.

Note: this lesson was conducted for Muslim teenagers and hence the discourse will reflect that, though there is still clear benefit for any viewer.
