As a Moorish American.. I have read many books and talked to many people on the downfall of the Ottoman Empire one of the main problems was that the Arabs thought they was being marginalized so they stood against the Ottomans thinking that it was going to liberate them but it did nothing but weakened them foolish Behavior

SO where are the Arabs l ike Saudi , UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait? SO what about Turks against Armenians and why russia Intervened to Wipe out ottoman Empire?

I really love this series. Ma'ShaAllah! Thanks TRT for sharing pure information in such an easy & crystal-clear narrative. InSha'Allah,Truth will prevail (and will Islam). Allahu Akbar!

I don’t think the movie depicted Lawrence as a hero but rather showed the downfall of a man who had beliefs of grandiosity. His character eroded over time. Also, it’s worth looking into why some of the tribes of Arabia who had Lawrence live amongst them revered him so much as to name their sons “Awrance”? Until today it remains the only western name for man that is socially acceptable. I’m not saying that the movie had problematic elements and I have no doubt that Lawrence was serving the English imperial power but I wonder if the man’s allegiance remained consistent throughout his career.

Great job on telling this story. Please do not act like you did in the end of the video. We want you to be a great role model for the youth. Do not portray yourself in a way that makes you look unprofessional. Keep up the great work. May Allah bless you and your family and give you all amazing things and success in this life and the next. We love you my brother.

Yeah, the end kind of took away from the content a little bit

The ending SHOCKED me😨 May Allah guide him

Immature

The movie does not portray Lawrence as a hero. He fails at the end and it is clearly shown. It's a movie about a conflicted individual who got lost while searching for his own identity. The historical background makes the story more interesting, but it could be a story about anyone, and it resonates with many.

We have to realize that who is our friend and who is our foe.

@we are number one Man you have no idea

@Improvement Beyond yeah doesnt even tries to explain anything you are the one who has no idea

@we are number one i have no idea. History has check her out

Enlightening. The propaganda is still going on to this day. Please make more such videos to educate the masses. Thank You.

Thanks for explaining historical facts !

There is no denying that Lawrence led the attack on what was considered to be an impregnable Akaba and he successfully captured it which was quite an accomplishment by itself. Also he conducted a guerrilla war against the Turks and blew up many of their rail lines in Arabia. All this was accurately portrayed in the 1962 movie. He had no part in the tricky Allied diplomacy pursued during and after WWI.

I dont think you even watched the video. He was an instigator at best nothing more. And a really good figure for a propaganda too i guess

@fredrickfrederickson5246 I don't think this bloke watched the movie.

nice,we need more of these videos

The ending was funny! Thanks Ahmed & TRT team!

The movie was not just inaccurate concerning historical facts it was also inaccurate as an adaptation from Lawrence's book as he admitted that he felt no glory but felt shame when he motivated the Arabs by the promise of a united land that he knew Britain will never fulfil

He was surely a Hero for those who wanted us(Ottoman Empire ) to be Divided, so that they can conquer us, but not for us.

Absolutely,I totally agree with you and now we are living without khilafat and I want to tell you a story when Pakistan was not created,a molana was in a prison of British and there were some British soldiers who were court martialed.Molana met them and asked a question that why are you afraid of khilafat which is very weak now?.That officer replied it is true that the khilafat is very weak but khalifa of this khilafat is so powerful if he will give just one hint to the Muslims than the whole Muslim nation will come out for jihad and it is necessary for Britain to invade khilafat

He had balls of iron.and people loved him so many people turned out for his funeral.he was a man of his time with a adventurist spirit.

Excellent commentry... thank you for giving a better picture of the reality.

I had read history about him Infact i am a history student ,,, thanks reminding me And yes eloborating

Baby Sama 712 That is what i had read bro I am history student but l am researching on islamic history from own sources thanks!

Don't take this video as a history lesson - it's about as misleading and biased as the movie it criticizes! The real Lawrence was disgusted with the actions of the British in the Middle East and deeply ashamed of his role in the war. He actively fought against his own government to try to win a better deal for the Arabs: publishing letters in newspapers denouncing the British and French, refusing a knighthood in the presence of the King, and throwing his medals into a river in protest. History is more complicated than simple heroes and villains. Seek out the facts for yourself.

Baby Sama 712 Lawrence was far from beyond criticism, but he was certainly not evil. And he certainly never considered himself a hero. He wanted independent states for the Arabs, not British and French control, as this video claims. He predicted the unrest and bloodshed that would happen if the British and French carved up the Middle East for themselves, and actively tried to prevent this. I'm neither British nor French, so I have no reason for bias. But I have read many books about him (both in praise and highly critical of his actions) as well as literally hundreds of letters and reports written by Lawrence and have a much clearer idea of his character and motives than the creator of this video.

Truly a great documentary

Everybody knew about this fact of Laurence of Arabia,that he was a spy .

@KHAN ADIL Ignore the wahhabist

Yes i had read about him

@Deshpremi Kamran Hasan we Muslim all are brother Saudi turkey

Much love TRT ...from Bangalore, India

India?

@Didd Yes INDIA 🇮🇳

India was colonialized by the British. Remember.

Well, TRT you just earned my Respect.

The Trinidadian musician The Mighty Sparrow had an excellent song about English Diplomacy. Ironically, the people of the world often encountered good English people, came to agreements with them, then got shafted by the devious, duplicitous, racist, scum who came after the decent ones

Love your presentations, Ahmed! :)))

Really educational, thanks.

Me: Looking up History to verify whether western movies got it right or wrong. TRT World: I Gotta Story To Tell.

Fajr prayer on time is equal to success all the time...

I love Ahmed Ghoneim. TRT World has a great presenter.

Absolutely fantastic.

Nice and very informative 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻

Thanks for explaining in great detail now I know the truth

Great content 👍🏽

He was the enemy of Islam,,,he persuaded the Arabs to revolt of Ottomans

You are right

he helped remove the ottoman oppressive regime.

@The Honest Truth all I dream of from you is a reply

@The Honest Truth Where are u from ?

@BlackSheep Nothingland. Let him live his ignorance

excellent and eye-opening video.

Except that last part.

I grew up very interested in history and politics... I've known this for a long time. He's one of the main supports of the saud family.

Nice one man.... U can tell a story 👍👍👍

Love your series

Then or now the arab world will never understand who is the real enemy...

Cyber Beast Arab is not a race and i am an Arab and Arab are being oppressed from western puppets and sustainers of puppets like you Mr. electronic flie. ( paid in full from the Bedouin Back-ward government of Saudi Arabia).

Cyber Beast انا عربي يا اعرابي يا حافي القدمين و العقل

Cyber Beast مستعد؟

Cyber Beast قال تعالى: ]الأََعْرَابُ أَشَدُّ كُفْراً وَنِفَاقاً[ (التوبة: من الآية97). ]وَمِمَّنْ حَوْلَكُمْ مِنَ الأََعْرَابِ مُنَافِقُونَ وَمِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَة[ (التوبة: من الآية101). ]قَالَتِ الأََعْرَابُ آمَنَّا قُلْ لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا أَسْلَمْنَا[ (الحجرات: من الآية14). الاعراب هم البدو في الخليج و نجد بالأخص و قبائل نجد و كل من والاهم راح تشوفون كثير يتحسسون من هذا الكلام لأن ما يعرفون دينهم عدل. الله ما جابهم من سابع سما و حطنا بالأرض علشان نتبع اجدادنا و آبائنا و نمشي على ما كانو عليه. هم يدافعون عن العقلية الصحراوية بسبب العاطفة و لا يفهمون قول الله وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ ۚ وَإِن تَدْعُ مُثْقَلَةٌ إِلَىٰ حِمْلِهَا لَا يُحْمَلْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبَىٰ ۗ إِنَّمَا تُنذِرُ الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم بِالْغَيْبِ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ ۚ وَمَن تَزَكَّىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَتَزَكَّىٰ لِنَفْسِهِ ۚ وَإِلَى اللَّهِ الْمَصِيرُ (18) يعني هم يدافعون على تخلفهم أجدادهم و عاداتهم وتقاليدهم الرجعية بسبب العاطفة و يضنون ما مس أجدادهم مسهم و هاذي عبودية لغير الله و العياذ بالله.  الإسلام هو دين يحرر الإنسان من العبودية لغير الله مما يعني أن الإنسان ليس مسؤول بأن يتبع ما وجد عليه ( عادات وتقاليد و فكر بيئته ووووو...الخ ) فهاذي كلها خلق مخلوق ليست خلق خالق.  الله يبينا نكون أفضل نسخة من نفسنا و لكي نوصل لهذا الشي علينا عدم الانبطاح لبيئتنا الي الله حطنا فيها. و للمعلومة انا و أنتم كلنا اخترنا ان نكون في هاذي الدنيا. إِنَّا عَرَضْنَا الْأَمَانَةَ عَلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالْجِبَالِ فَأَبَيْنَ أَن يَحْمِلْنَهَا وَأَشْفَقْنَ مِنْهَا وَحَمَلَهَا الْإِنسَانُ ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ ظَلُومًا جَهُولًا (72) لمن سألنا الله في السماء قبلنا ان نكون بالدنيا لم نختر اصلنا ، عرقنا أرضنا، ...الخ لكن الاعراب الحفاة العراة العاله كما وصفهم الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم لا يفكرون بهاذي الطريقة هم على ما آبائهم كانو عليه.

Please do not offend serpents

@Salah din - Lawrence bin Satan.

You are great bro. Love from India

The narrative of the arabs being primitive is completely consistent with how the victorian British viewed every aboriginal people on the planet, so in that sense the story is pretty accurate and it’s not gard to see why the Arabs would take offence. There were internal rivalries amongst the Arabs going back centuries, that had to be overcome to unite them to beat the turks. Also, the British high command used Lawrence to manipulate the arab revolt to for its own ends, i.e. to get the region’s resources (oil) for Britain deprive the Ottoman empire and the Arab leaders used him to improve their bargaining position when it became time to negotiate their independence. So while the Arabs don’t like how they are portrayed and the chronology is played with, from a big picture standpoint it does present the English perspective overall. It shows that this whole theatre was about manipulation, who was playing whom, and how it is never quite clear - Alanby is himself shocked at the end when he finds out that Faisal has been playing him. And it also demonstrates what a flawed individual Lawrence was. So I think from a big picture standpoint the story being told captures a certain truth about those events.

Very well put. Thanks

Most beautiful words about Lawrence of arabia

Mmmm, when I watched the movie as a teen, I saw a fanatical flawed hero stumbling his way among the Arabs, who had their revolt and used him and much as he sought to 'help' them. In his turn being played by an arrogant British empire mentality that loved double-crossing. So, it's either not as bad as portrayed by the angry guy making this item, or I love underdogs. And then I see this is a Turkish broadcast. Ah, it seems they have forgotten how tired everyone was of the Ottoman Empire. I hope they don't want it back, because, as all Empires go, from the earliest to the current American Empire, Empires always kill people who don't like it. I think I better not mention the Armenians here, because of a collective historic rewriting.

Thank you for the upload of this video in which you provided so much important information. But from 6:45, not positively impressed with the ending, because of how Arabs were spoken of, and the clamouring for notoriety.

I like the presentation despite the bitter topic

He was a awesome person to have on your team

Now truly( They) are like scattered sand in the desert if you know this line you are a legend

Just put a link to his diaries in the description. Ive read them and liberate who?? He talks about the arab morals at time on how they dont lie and the holliness of women over there where when tribes attack and steal from each other they would never touch a woman even when they would come out and hit,spit or scream at them cuz they knew they would be safe. He spoke about when a man trief to steal something from a woman the cut of his hand and anger as though he brough humiliation to their tribe from that action. Also he would let his wife site around with bedwins(so called backward) because he knew no one would touch women over there since they travel many miles alone and asked a bedwin woman when she traveled with a man alone for while and returned were you not afraid, she could not understand so he said it bluntly as tho she coudlve been harrassed or raped, she just told him watch your mouth this happens in your country. Sadly there morals have been diminished immensley that place has been culturaly polluted by secular liberators.

TRT. You mixed up the Flags at @6:33. Mark Sykes is British but you gave him the French flag and Picot is French but you have him the British Flag.

Reporter is glad that he was shorter than him🤣🤣🤣

Watched the movie with my family and we spent the 4 hours barking at the screen

Lawrence also worked to make sure the new rule in Saudi Arabia would be one where Khilafat could never come back again. You said Saudi got independent after WW but.. the set up there was also Lawrence of Arabia's task. He is the founder of KSA..the kingdom that is..and that's why kingdom keeps toeing western narrative even against the Muslim world.

You have the flags switched in the photos of Mark Sykes (British) and Francois Georges-Picot (French).

we need the history of imam Ahmed bin Ibrahim al ghazi the defender of ka,bah who's defeated Portuguese and Abyssinian

Bro love this series

Not to mention what the English did in my land, North America. I'm a Northern Cheyenne tribal member and an educator living in Morocco, so I have a unique perceptive on this very subject

Wonderful

History is written by the winner!

Japan lost WW2. They write their own history books.

I'm confused. The movie depicted Lawrence as a heroe becoming an anti hero. Someone falling more deeply into madness. Like, that's the main point of the movie. 🤔 But thanks for the history fact check.

Yeah. The creator of this video seemed to miss the point that the movie is actually anti-British. The whole point of the film was the foolishness and arrogance of the White Saviour thinking he could change the history of another people and country.

@harrysecombegroupie True that. Even as a Muslim, I can see how the creator of the video doesn't get the point of the whole movie. I even wondered if they have watched the movie themselves. Lawrence was not a hero nor he was intended to be depicted as one. It's true that it has some inaccuracies here and there, but the point of the movie is about the humanity of Lawrence and how he descended from somewhat a decent guy into a person who did horrible actions. And we can actually see the cracks of his conflicted psyche when he made those decisions.

Yes, but there is another point in him getting crazy. The movie seems to credit the "barbaric" people he had in company, tribes, etc .. his coming to the dark side. Am I the only one who saw that? Isn't this racist? But I agree, it pretend also to be a soft critic of colonial hipocrisy.

Excellent work Ahmed

Colonel Sir Tatton Benvenuto Mark Sykes, 6th Baronet was an English man not french.

The British have a habit of lying when it comes to history. Lawrence did not even have a quarter of the role that he is now given credited for

I thinl Turks shouldn't complain about other countries "lying about their history"

Sahih al-Bukhari 5068 Narrated Anas: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to go round (have sexual relations with) all his wives in one night, and he had nine wives.

It's an interesting viewpoint but"Lawrence of Arabia" is still one of the greatest movies ever made. The character Jackson Bentley who was based on Lowell Thomas did inflate the character to sell newspapers and to get Americans into the war. The point is well made in the film that he was made out to be more important than he actually was.

One of the greatest movies ever made. Some of the points mentioned were valid but most are biased af

Time is come back in sha ALLAH

At the same time that the Turks were commiting genocide against the Armenians and Assyrians they were starving the Arabs of greater Syria into submission. Syrian civilians suffered a huge rate of mortality through a deliberate policy of starvation and deprivation during the Arab Revolt years. There are valid criticisms in this video, especially of the movie version of history, but there are some distortions here, too. For instance, the "regular" soldiers of the Revolt who served under English, French or Arab officers wore uniforms, but there were also many bands of tribal cavalry like Auda Abu Tayi's Sharif Nasr's and Nuri Shaalan's riders, the Rualla cavalry and Druze cavalry none of whom wore uniforms. A significant distortion is the implication that Lawrence approved of the Anglo-French "betrayal by partition" of the Arabs. He hated that, and he made his feelings clear. In the end he washed his hands of all of it in a dishonorable way, but the many losses, traumas and horrors he'd suffered and the guilt of his participation in the betrayal haunted him and crippled his psyche.

You are famous baby!!! Love 💟 your shows🎥🎞️📽️🎬🇹🇷

Great stuff

i still think him as a legend ability to wage guerilla warfare on ottoman empire it is impressive how he managed to fight ottoman

Excellent work. Its time we balanced the equation

Very Cinematic indeed

Got to admit Alex Guinness did look a bit like the man he played.

Battelfield 1 campaign fantasy be like :

Good job Muslim should know their real history

Arabs*

@Keyboard Warrior Is Life all muslim should know their story

@M....M well i know mine as indonesian

Each and every muslim should know because there are many cases like this. In Arab it's Lawrence and other part of world are other people like him apparently well wishers of Muslim but actually have agenda against muslim. So Muslim don't fight with each other ... we all did mistakes

@M....M nah

The movie was not written by TE Lawrence- don't blame him or its faults. Read the 7 Pillars of Wisdom. In that book, Lawrence gave enormous credit to British soldiers and Bedouin Arabs. He was not racist and held Arabs in high esteem. He was a very tough resourceful soldier and an intellectual. By and large, he was shy and modest.

Good thing that you mentioned to Sykes-Picot agreement. Too bad you won't say who it affected because your country has been benefitting from that agreement for decades.

The question is why the ottoman empire failed? It is not because of just one guy but by those who were incompetent. The sultan knew but did nothing.

The Prophet ﷺ also prophesied that carnal pursuits would not only infect his nation but would be the cause of their downfall and devastation. Thawbān (rA) reports that the Prophet ﷺ said, “The nations will soon invite one another to devour you, just as diners are invited to a dish.” It was said, “Will it be because of our small number on that day?” He said, “No, rather you will be many on that day, but you will be [weightless] foam, like the foam on the river. And Allah will remove the fear of you from the hearts of your enemies, and will cast weakness into your hearts.” Someone said, “O Messenger of Allah, what will this weakness be?” He said, “The love of this world, and the hatred of death.”[58] Reinforcing this point, Anas (rA) narrates that the Prophet ﷺ said, “Once my nation considers five things permissible, then destruction will befall them: when cursing one another appears, wine is drunk, silk is worn [by men], musical instruments are played, and men suffice themselves with men and women suffice themselves with women.”[59] Certainly, Muslims today are not insulated from the ideologies demanding the acceptance of same-sex acts in the world around them. This is even imaginable for a practicing, mosque-goer Muslim, if they allow their religiosity to be reduced to a cultural identity, as the Prophet ﷺ said in a hadith narrated by ‘Abdullah b. ‘Amr (rA), “An age will surely come when people gather and pray in the mosques, while there is not a single believer amongst them.”

Sorry 😞 we lost our faith we are caring only about our origin in this ending life 🤦‍♂️😔😞

Did you read his book 7 Pillars of Wisdom if you had you would understand he was a suberperd Officer, he didn't treat the Arabs as second rate people's and he very upset with both the British and French. They had their adgenders

Like the movie 300, this movie also twists facts to entertain the ill informed masses, sadly it is the method of choice in the West to display their psuedo-superiority. However, we are lucky to live during these times cause the world is changing.

Clearly you haven't watch Lord of the ring ..they potraying us Muslims as the orc during the siege of the fortress ...the scene was based during Constantinople siege by sultan mehmet.. The king crying for help but no one coming to help

Al Barbarī cause they way of Salaf is on display in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and others, majority of us don't want these Wahabies and salafies to represent us.

Juko Playz and almost any other film, have u seen movies they make about far east

@Inong Balee I have and yes there are hidden messages in that movie, however I have seen part 1 and 2 only...but I know what u are saying

I would have never got into power if it hadn’t been for T.E. Lawrence. Thank you, Lawrence of Arabia.🤠

This video makes valid points about problematic orientalism and historical inaccuracies in the film, as well as the actions of the British during WWI, but it also grossly misinterprets the movie and the real Lawrence's actions, motivations, and character. The film itself is anti-British, anti-imperialist, and anti-White Saviour. The British are shown openly scheming to deceive the Arabs and carve up the middle east in their own interests. British officers a shown as racist, and far from depicting him as a hero, Lawrence is shown as naïve and arrogant. The film deliberately subverts the White Saviour trope. The real Lawrence believed in Arab independence, not British and French rule, as this video claims. He was disgusted by the duplicity and broken promises of the British government and actively worked against the British after the war to try to win a better deal for the Arabs: negotiating on their behalf at Peace Conferences, publishing letters denouncing the British and French, and refusing a knighthood in the presence of the King in protest. He regretted his involvement in the Arab Revolt and admitted that trying to influence another people and country was naive and arrogant and that he'd had no right to do so. Far from depicting himself as a Rambo figure in The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, Lawrence is very honest about his own flaws and failures. He downplays the roles of other British and French officers in order to emphasise the importance of the Arab Revolt, not to glorify himself. He gave credit to Arab leaders where it was due. The Turks are depicted unfavourably because Lawrence witnessed Turkish atrocities at close hand: particularly a brutal massacre of women and children. He also admits to committing atrocities himself. Lawrence made unflattering statements about the Arabs, but also praised them elsewhere. He made equally scathing comments about the British and French. Lawrence co-operated with Lowell Thomas as he thought the publicity would help the Arab cause. He later regretted this and thought Thomas was a fool. At least some of the Bedouin Lawrence worked with respected him enough to name their sons and grandsons Lawrence. The kind of misinformation, bias, and distortion of history that this video presents is highly counterproductive, regardless of your race, nationality or religion: it only serves to fuel prejudice, ignorance, and hatred.

Ya Allah Nabi Pak S.A.A.W ky waseely sy meri duaen kabol farma ly Ameen Ameen Ameen Ameen Ameen Ameen

As the darkness falls and Arabia calls One man spreads his wings as the battle begins

May the land lay claim on to Lawrence name Seven pillars of wisdom lights the flame

@Unique Facts Point A revolt to gain independence Hide and seek, hunters hot on their trail

@عمر المختار joined their ranks, obtained their acceptance Side by side raid the Ottoman rails

@Unique Facts Point Lead the charge! Tafilah, Medina, Damascus calls

@عمر المختار sabotage , demolish the bridges to dust

British .. French were always like that... Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Azerbaijan and all central Asia is combining... Inshallah force will be with us. Pakistan taught Saudia a lesson. UAE is afraid .. Qatar is always awesome with us.

Weldone, it was really needed..

Love Britain from Arabia ❤️

Our great leader Erdogan is good. No but seriously, I enjoy this channel.

I love history and historical accuracy but I feel like people miss the point of a “performance” in movies. Lawrence of Arabia was never intended to be a biography of Lawrence.

Its the narative though that people have an issue

As a hero at least he said free ..

In fairness, the movie does show that the British betrayed the Arabs when the war ended.

isn't the movie directed by non Arabs ? I thought they won't admit the betrayal

@Tristan There is a scene in the movie where a British politician straight up explains the plan to betray the Arabs and carve up the middle east for the British and French. If anything the film is anti-, rather than pro-British. It's actually about the foolishness and arrogance of the White Saviour trying to direct the course of another people and country he has no business interfering with. The creator of this video really seems to have missed that point.

Highly false depiction of Lawrence in this 7min. We know it was a movie, although not Hollywood style, and there was a lot of inaccuracies in it . Lawrence was a hero in any meaning of the word, although we do understand the Arabs may have a different opinion. Having spent time in Jordan and talking to many locals up and down the country some think of him highly and others don't. Lawrence was a very complex man, best to read books about him to get a basis of who he was.

Roid Astria He was a hero to the western powers. They were fighting a war with the Turks, not really anything to do with religion. Certainly not trying to convert anyone. Not sure where you are getting your info from. And heaven knows that last thing you want is human rights in a country....

We as Muslims can’t blame others for our short comings. We let them do whatever was done and is being done us. They are united against us and we are severely fragmented. There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the last messenger of Allah. Whatever comes after this is not trivial.

His life was fulfilled,And West's hero committed suicide.
