All language subtitles for FATIH AL-ANDALUS -EP 02-_ مسلسل فتح الآندلس الحلقة ٢-en

Let my master order the armies to be prepared.

Yes, that is the right decision.

May you permit me, Your Majesty.

Why don't we negotiate with them if we can?

Negotiate with them?

What are you saying uncle?!

You have seen how the cities of Africa fell one by one at their hands,

and I am not here to glorify their strength and their power,

but I say that we should not underestimate them,

and whoever underestimated his enemy will perish.

Did those cities fall only through the inaction of Caesar Rome?

He who is sitting in his kingdom,

leaning on the bed of his throne.

The Romans, damn them,

no good will come to us from them.

My lord, the great king.

Tangier was nothing but a Roman garrison,

and Caesar should have defended it himself.

I see that we teach Rome a lesson.

Rome has grown old like an old tree whose leaves are falling a leaf by leaf.

The days of kings are gone and the days of the emperors are gone.

What is happening in Tangiers and Ceuta is breaking my heart,

so how could they make an effort to defend them

if we did not take the initiative in deed, not in words,

Ceuta has followed Tangiers and shame befell us forever.

If the Caesar of Rome failed to defend Ceuta,

would this satisfy His Holiness and make him remain silent about it?

I think he is now angrier than ever.

It is no longer just a struggle that takes place between kings and princes,

between priests and monks,

this one is conspiring and deceiving that one,

and that one is allied with the enemy of yesterday,

so that he can antagonize the enemy of today.

The danger surrounds us more than we think.

The danger today is upon us all.

What danger does the king mean?

Is there any other danger but them?

Those who came on camel backs,

came from the far desert with their new religion.

They are more dangerous to us than we think.

Every day, they open a new door for us,

and if they enter it, they never leave,

and what I fear the most is that after they have taken Tangiers,

they will not stop until they take Ceuta.

Oh, the loss of Julian after that.

Does my Master mean Muslims?

Who else?

They are my constant concern.

My lord, your majesty, the great king, Wittiza.

The great king of the Goths and the one and only lord of the island of Iberia.

Welcome to Count Rodericus.

Do not fear for Ceuta from the Muslims, my lord.

Count Julian is not the one who gives them Ceuta for a bite.

He is a reliable man, my lord.

But what about Ceuta?

A castle built to defend itself.

We didn't know that cities defend themselves.

Rather, cities stand by the wisdom of their wise men and the strength of their fighters.

Looks like our dear Duke Pedro will leave us soon

to take part in the protection of Ceuta.

Achilles.. Sisebutus..

When you grow old and there find no child to lean on.

Then who will help you, Opus, my brother?

Count Rodericus

Make the messenger of Julian to us feel at home until he receives our reply.

It seems that you know the Messenger well, so be good to him.

Count Rodericus.

Do you know why cities fall and we lose wars?

We lose them when princes and dukes start collecting gold and fiefs for themselves,

not the weak and the helpless.

Then who will defend the kingdom?

the weak? the poor?

How does a poor man defend a land where he owns nothing?

How?

Only then do cities fall and we lose wars.

Rest assured, my lord..we are ready for them.

What is with you, Tariq?

The trouble of Tangiers and the burden of the emirate.

Yes, emirate.

That is correct.

May Allah aid you with it.

It is a trust, that will turn into a regret pn the Day of Resurrection,

except for those who fulfilled their rights and fulfilled their obligations.

Some think that it is a gain,

but they do not see that it is a burden that tires mountains.

Indeed, it is.

But the burden is only as heavy as the gain..

This with that.

Today Tangier, tomorrow, Insha Allah, it will be Ceuta.

I wish I could strike the desert front with my sword

and only stand with the banner of monotheism over every plain and mound in it

And here you see Ceuta in front of us

and within the range of an arrow from us

And I found myself stopping, I cannot leave my place.

That is you, Tariq, as I have always known you,

you do not change.

You have no patience.

Brave, initiating, but in a hurry.

Be patient, be patient, and do not be in a hurry to reap your fruits.

When, our Sheikh?

When?

Only when you are patient and not in a hurry.

Don't you see that the gates of Ceuta are here in Tangier?

Those doors are before you, go near them, they will open for you.

But its people close their doors before us.

Here you are fixing it and the conditions of it people.

And tomorrow when they touch your kindness to them,

they will change.

That is what a human being is made of.

A person is a prisoner of kindness.

Do good to people and you will earn their hearts.

Only then will Ceuta be closer to you than your eyes.

We came to open hearts, not to open castles.

If the lands were opened for us, we would not have to carry swords.

And our armies would have been preachers and jurists.

Count Rodericus.

Matters have reached an unbearable point.

All people have had enough.

Never mind that, Pedro, and answer me.

How are things going in the collection of taxes by the merchants of Toledo?

If you want to know the truth.

The ones who pay the taxes are the workers and peasants.

These people do not have enough of their daily bread.

We make them pay more than they can handle.

How could the state stand, then?

Whoever works has to pay.

An army is being geared up, and supplies are being equipped.

Thus, people are busy paying for those who are above them.

And those who are above them for those who are above them.

Pedro, Pedro.

You should be with us, not against us.

You are one of the great men of the court.

And do not forget, Pedro, that Wittiza is almost speechless.

The life of kings, my lady,

pays attention to the smallest details.

Do you mean the maids?

No, no..

I mean the general public outside the palace

Be you, my lady, a princess who cares about her elegance and beauty.

And who is looking for her prince whose mind will be stolen by her.

And dedicate your life to be a princess worthy of her prince.

This is how princesses live.

Is that it?

Is there nothing else?

When you return from Toledo to Ceuta.

You should live there as we live here.

Can I do here as I please?

I beg not, my lady, the queen is here watching the smallest details.

Otherwise, she will punish me.

No, I do not want you to punished because of me.

For my life, if I had thrown it in front of your eyes,

I would not have hit it.

Great shot, Bakr!

Give it to me, Tariq!

The moral is not in who shoots and hits.

But the lesson is who reaps,

and the prudent one who avoids the first strike with his shield.

And he avoids the second blow with his eyes.

In the turmoil of war that the heroes do not complain about, they only murmur.

And I was about to take a raid on a night as dark as the shade.

by Allah, I only see this raid on Ceuta.

Ceuta has taken over your heart, Tariq.

You are right, Tarif,

But not only Ceuta.

You see, Tarif, every time we conquer a country and go to war,

people only see the clanking of swords,

the neighing of horses,

and the breaking of spears.

As for me, another thought prevails me.

Reveal, unravel the puzzles.

It's not a riddle, Tarif, but a question.

Why do people see us as a victorious army?

Why do they not see the justice and mercy of Islam?

I understand what you are saying, Tariq.

I swear, it is just that indeed.

Victory is not when walls are opened for you,

but when hearts are opened for you.

People then will surrender by choice not by defeat,

by love not by force.

That is the true victory.

That is how, we were pleased to conquer Africa with Uqba bin Nafie,

may Allah have mercy on him.

I am confident that Allah will open the hearts of people to you

as he opened them to them in Barqa, Susa, Misrata and others.

by Allah, this is what myself yearns for.

May Allah open the hearts of people in Tangier, Ceuta and beyond.

What comes beyond Ceuta, Tariq?

A country waiting for the justice and mercy of Islam.

Come on!

Hear me well, friends.

Who are you?

Stop!

Welcome to the captivity you devil.

Rather, you are welcomed to captivity.

How many horses are there in Ceuta?

Between five and six, no more.

All of Ceuta with its knights, fighters and everything in it,

only five or six horses!

Yes, sir.

Yes.

Well, what if I ask you about gear and weapons?

Ten swords for example.

Certainly, the number of arrows will not exceed twenty, for example.

Don't exaggerate, Nassim, maybe less.

What do you say we go together to the prison cellar

where the knots of the tongue are untied and the speech is good.

Will you permit me, Prince?

Take them, Nassim

Nassim...

What is it?

I do not know how to say this.

Speak up.

We lost two of our soldiers yesterday.

Where were they lost?

Below the guard tower at the western wall.

Your soldiers have come to the extent of losing two members our walls.

They were suddenly lost while on guard.

When we searched the place where they were lost,

we found footprints,

as if a fight had taken place,

as the soldiers found this arrow close to the same place, sir.

It belongs to the Muslims, sir

It looks like Tariq started faster than I thought.

Tighten the watch on the towers.

Set them on fire at night.

And close all the doors.

Check every loophole they can get into.

Especially those near the sea.

Yes, sir.

Hold this, give it to this guy.

Take.

Leave it to me.

I beg you pardon, my lady.

This job is not suitable for you.

Take it easy.

No one else is here but us.

Even so, forgive me, my lady.

My lady!

Princess Florinda, have a nice day.

My lord the prince, how do you do?

I am fine if I see you.

I am always fine when I see you.

My lord the prince is overly kind.

You deserve more than that.

This is how pearls are,

they never see their luster.

My lord!

Shall we walk a little among the flowers?

I am unable to do so.

I mean here in the garden of castle.

But the queen…

My mother, the queen is not here,

and no one is here to watch us.

Excuse me, my lord, I will go to my room.

Florinda...

Do you think, O Nassim,

that you will extract something from them?

They are in the old dungeons.

Its atmosphere only will release the tongue of the mute.

You are right,

Its sight only would upset the heart and inspire fear.

Those are always the means of tyrants.

When the tyrant weakens and finds his kingship dilapidated,

he does not see that he can prove his kingship except with a whip and oppression.

Yes.

They rule people with fear.

The kingdoms that are built on the oppression and domination of people are inevitably short-lived,

so beware that your souls weaken and you become like your enemies.

God forbid, our sheikh, how will we fall into this dangerous slip?

Kingship is a trial,

and the trial of kingship is that Satan beautifies the deeds of the people for them.

How can we avoid that?

When you fix your intention and review it from time to time.

But, when you forget why you carried the sword and why you came here,

and forget the lofty purpose of your striving,

you will slip.

What is it with you, Tariq, why all this anxiety?

Even besieging her, our Sheikh, will not be easy.

Why are you worried?

So be it.

In addition to that, its ruler is a wise man not to be underestimated.

Nothing is difficult if there is the will and pure intention to God,

along with a little patience and fortitude

I will meet shortly with the chief of police and the head of the army.

I see that you should be with us.

As you please.

May the God protect my lord.

What should we reply to Count Julian?

He's in a hurry to protect Ceuta.

Have the Muslims reached it?

Not quite, my lord, but they are almost there.

Damn those Muslims!

Those shepherds are startling me.

They will not stop until they have taken over the whole world.

They came from a barren desert.

They used to fight among themselves over nothing,

They had no treasures to share,

nor money that they quarrel with,

nor did they monks who adorn death for them

in the way of the Lord in order to fight among themselves.

And despite this, they are knocking on the gates of the great Gothic kingdom in Ceuta.

I read a while ago that their messenger had promised them Constantinople,

and now they have won Bayt Al-Maqdis without a fight,

so it is not surprising that they own Tangiers in the west of the world or Khorasan in the east.

Thus, we have to kill their leaders to stop their tide, even for a short bit.

Hold on, O Achilles, hang about,

Do you think that by doing such a deed, you would stop them?

You are still young,

that is not how nations and kingdoms are governed,

and those people do not stop at that,

how I wish you and your brother had followed me and learned from me,

I would not have feared for the kingdom of the Visigoths

seeing the sun of my life going to sunset.

I know what needs to be done, my Lord.

Sent to Pedro.

I have had tested him for many years.

He knows best about the affairs of the kingdom,

what is right for it and what is not.

Yes, my Lord!

Do you not come to us without our need, O Abu Baseer?

What is it with me and palaces of Kingship?

I fear their temptation and adornment.

You save yourself from the temptation of kingship and leave us to it.

Why worry?

Kingship only stands with justice.

Justice is the foundation of kingship

And this is what we are working on now, Abu Baseer.

We set up men in the market and build a house for the judiciary in which the judge is independent from the mosque.

Well done, I swear to God, Tariq.

People have become more in need of a permanent judge

who judges between quarrels with justice

and fulfill justice to the oppressed.

May Allah help our sheikh for what is yet to come.

May Allah aid you, are you framing me?

No, by Allah, I do not see that I am fit for this.

I am not evading it,

but the judiciary is only suitable for a jurist and a pious scholar

and who has knowledge of worldly matters and the conditions of people.

by Allah, you have not added to your description of yourself,

and we do not recommend anyone over Allah.

There’s No Power and There’s No Strength Other Than by Allah.

Oh Allah, help me on this load,

and make me better than what they think, and forgive me for what they do not know.

We want to build the state of justice that we desire, O Abu Baseer.

I often see you here in the garden, princess.

Does that bother you, my lord Count?

No, I even find that the palace of my lord King Wittiza is getting more and more beautiful.

Thank you, my lord.

Who knows?

Perhaps one day you will become a queen in one of the palaces of Toledo.

Rather, I am a princess from Ceuta,

and I prefer no place over Ceuta.

Do you refuse the kingship?

And you, as I see, are worthy of the highest rank of kings.

Thank you, sir.

I will be seeing you here a lot beautiful.

Shishbert!

Yes, count.

Let Julian's messenger know that we will answer his request.

Will the king send him an army?

No, not an army.

We will send him some gear and supplies.

Alright, sir, I will inform his messenger of this.

And treat him well.

Of course, sir.

The guards are deployed on the walls.

On each tower there are fifteen men.

That gate is the most fortified because it leads straight to the governor's palace.

As for that gate, it is the least fortified due to its proximity to the water.

But it has a garrison from the inside and archers on top of the tower.

We will not resort to fighting at first, Tarif.

What we know about Ceuta is that it is fortified and difficult to break into,

so we will lay a tight siege around it,

and then we will fight them day and night until they are completely exhausted.

What about the sea?

What about it?

Supply ships will come to them from the sea.

You mean come to us.

Come to us?

Can we seize ships, especially if they carry fighters and equipment?

That will not be impossible for us, Tarif.

Nothing will stop us and we will be there soon,

very soon, Insha Allah.

Mr. Count.

The Muslim army is marching towards Ceuta.

What are you saying?

Close all the ports,

and let the archers spread out at the city walls.

I have already done that sir.

I will meet you at the walls.

Come on!
