  • In a time of anarchy and political upheaval, the established militant force in Samarra now has unprecedented power over the Caliph. In this episode Ali and Deana discuss the life of al-Mu’tazz, son of al-Mutawakkil and heir to the throne. From being the favorite child of his father, to being placed under house-arrest by his newly elected cousin, patience is a virtue for this figure of Baghdad. When he does inherit the Caliphate, what better to welcome him than a civil war?

  • The murder of al-Mutawakkil marked a drastic change in the politics of Baghdad and Samarra. In the emerging anarchy of the region, al-Qabiha was an enchanting and ruthless political force. She would use her power to put an end to the anarchy and secure her son’s position as Caliph, but will it last?

  • In the newly established political capital of Samarra, the Caliph is separated from Baghdad by 60 miles and a wall of soldiers. After becoming the leader of this centralized city, al-Mutawakkil adopts a reign of opulence, and has quite an axe to grind. Will he be able to survive the politics of the new elite guard?

  • In a time bound by rigid social and class divides, knowledge and the pursuit thereof often bridged the gap between lowly beginnings and a prolific career. For historic author Al-Jahiz, that meant encyclopedic knowledge of a wide range of topics from science to politics, and theories on evolution that preceded Darwin by almost a thousand years.

  • Sold into slavery from a young age, this medieval rockstar Arib al’Mamuniyya went on to impress the Caliphs, and become a famed poet and musician in her own right. In a time where literacy was a prized possession, Arib lived well by her wits and made waves with proper doses of intellect and controversy.

  • In medieval Baghdad, there was a particular focus on two elements of knowledge expansion: recording existing principles, and further expanding on this knowledge through experimentation. Al-Mahani represents a key figure in this transitional period of scholarship, translating and commenting upon Euclidean geometry, as well as laying the mathematical groundwork for future astrologists and scientists.

  • The sharing of culture was vital for the Abbasids. Even their predecessors, the Umayyads, had been fascinated by the knowledge of other cultures and societies. The Abbasids took things one step further when they created The House of Wisdom: an important library and institution that funded scholars, learning, and most importantly translation. 


    This is the final episode of Baghdad Soundwalks, but stay tuned for Season 2 where we introduce you to those who lived, schemed, and made medieval Baghdad what it was. From brilliant scholars, to powerful caliphs, from eloquent poets to the women behind the throne, Season 2 brings you the lives at the heart of the Abbasid empire. **Episode 1 drops October 16**

  • Muslims spilled a lot of ink pondering what good government should look like, what a wise ruler should be like, and why it mattered for society. And this is the type of political intrigue that makes Baghdad, the city of Peace, into a place of civil war. The War of the Two Brothers starts on the Night of the Three Caliphs, where the succession of the throne is shaped by the death of one caliph, the ascension of another, and the birth of a third… it’s a turning point… will Baghdad survive it?

  • Alongside the Great Mosque, the palace was the first structure built in Baghdad. Let’s imagine this…

    You’re a new visitor, you’ve traveled for miles, perhaps stopping at the funduq as you slowly make your way to the round city. There’s a bustle as crowds of visitors wind their way from the many roads to the gates of Baghdad. As you pass the entry, you see it. Right in your line of sight, the palace in the center of the city, rising above all other buildings with a gleaming green dome against the backdrop…

  • Let’s take a jaunt to an ancient structure that made all of medieval Baghdad possible, the caravanserai or funduq. Originally built by the Achaemenids as roadside taverns or ins, these were dwellings that connected roads & provided travelers with food and shelter. As the city evolved and expanded, the Funduq grew alongside it.

  • With their elaborate domed ceilings and ornate mosaics, these public steam baths were adopted by Muslims from the Greco-Roman world. Stemming from a time when not everyone had access to running water, hammams were accessible to all regardless of class or wealth. A place of cleansing, religion, healing and community.

  • The Great Mosque was positioned in the center of Baghdad, with numerous smaller mosques dotted around the various neighborhoods. A place of daily prayer, a community center, a place to feed the poor and hungry. The mosque was for everyone from the powerful to the ordinary…

    You hear the call to prayer as it reverberates throughout the city. It comes in from the distance as the main mosque starts the call, then neighborhood by neighborhood the call is picked up. It’s part of the soundscape of the city—cutting through the din and noise, drawing you in to join as one religious body to pray.

  • In this episode we’ll travel to the Bazaar (AKA souk), a place of trade and politics, the beating heart of the city…

    Throngs of people move about, garbed in clothing that reflect their rank; the rich in their silks and finely woven robes of different colored hues: greens and blues and rich earth tones, old men sitting on the side of streets playing board games, young kids running amok…

  • Originating with the Persian empires, the harem (unlike its salacious modern day portrayals) emerges from the need to create a safe space for rulers and their families. Let’s take a tour!

    You’ve had an entire day full of courtly intrigue and politics. You retire, passing a curtain separating the public from the private… you pass by special guards whose principal job is protecting your family. You enter an open space scattered with cushions, couches, rugs, games of chess… children playing and laughing… the familiar sounds of ouds and drums…

This elite culture and the way it filtered down to the masses, is what made this period of Baghdad so exciting.

From the art of horsemanship to the ethos of the powerful, we’ll find out what makes Baghdad so unique.
