Most traditional accounts have the first Muslim armies deploy to Syria from Medina at the beginning of 13 AH (early spring 634). [107] The commanders of the Muslim armies were Amr ibn al-As, Yazid ibn Abi Sufyan, Shurahbil ibn Hasana and Abu Ubayda ibn al-Jarrah, [108] though the last may have not deployed to Syria until after Umar's succession to the caliphate in the summer of 634, following Abu Bakr's death. [109] According to Donner, the traditional sources' dating of the first Muslim armies' deployment to Syria was behind by several months. It most likely occurred in the autumn of 633, which better conforms with the anonymous Syriac Chronicle of 724, which dates the first clash between the Muslim armies and the Byzantines to February 634. [110] By the time Khalid had left Iraq, the Muslim armies in Syria had already fought a number of skirmishes with local Byzantine garrisons and dominated the southern Syrian countryside, but did not control any urban centers.

The authority of Islamic morals and laws proceeds from Almighty God. Pleasure and happiness in Islam are but the natural by products of emotional satisfaction in one's duties conscientiously performed for the pleasure of God to achieve salvation. In Islam duties are always stressed above rights. Only in Islam was my quest for absolute values satisfied. Only in Islam did I at last find all that was true, good, beautiful and which gives meaning and directions to human life and death." Juynboll, Gautier H.A., ed. (1989).

Khalid ibn Al-Walid (RA) - Hadith of the Day Khalid ibn Al-Walid (RA) - Hadith of the Day

Khalid may have participated in the siege of Jerusalem, which capitulated in 637 or 638. [169] According to al-Tabari, he was one of the witnesses of a letter of assurance by Umar to Patriarch Sophronius of Jerusalem guaranteeing the safety of the city's people and property. [170] Dismissal and death My problem to write this monograph is easier because we are not generally fed now on that (distorted) kind of history and much time need not to be spent on pointing out our misrepresentations of Islam. The theory of Islam and sword, for instance, is not heard now in any quarter worth its name. The principle of Islam that: ' there is no compulsion in religion' is well known".The greatest success of Mohammed's life was effected by sheer moral force without the stroke of a sword."

The Sword of Allah: Khalid Bin Al-Waleed, His Life and

I have read of and seen photographs of a sword called al-battar that the prophet salallahu alaihi wa salaam supposedly owned. pictures of the sword can be seen here: In the city of their migration, Al-Madeenah, people not only welcomed the Muslims, but the ‘sword’ with which it is alleged that people converted to Islam, as well. It did not cease to work even there and its magnetic force continued to "pull" people towards it until the whole of Arabia joined the faith. Compared to the population of the rest of the world, at that time, the Arabs constituted a tiny minority. A fraction of this minority decided to take the sword beyond the boundaries of the Arabian desert to the mighty empires of Rome and Persia, the shores of the Mediterranean, the coast of Malabar and the far away East Indies Islands. All these people ostensibly went on surrendering to this ‘sword’ and joining the faith. It is obvious that some of these relics may be genuine, but we do not see any of the trustworthy scholars stating definitely whether they are genuine or not. Allaah, may He be glorified, knows best about them. But with regard to some of them, we cannot hide our suspicion concerning themAnecdotal and other historical evidence even suggests that his father was so fixated on preparing his son for war that he not only honed his martial skills, but took the odd parenting decision to feed him small amounts of different toxins and poisons to toughen Khalid’s constitution. A 12 th-Century Zengid era historian, Ibn ‘Asakir, reported that Khalid drank some poison in front of a parleying dignitary from one of the citadels he was besieging just to frighten them into submission without committing his forces to what might have been a bloody siege. Since there is no proof in the saheeh Sunnah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had a sword by this name, how can we believe that it existed in the form described by the one who claims that it is a picture of the sword of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? The Byzantine cavalry, meanwhile, had withdrawn north to the area between the Ruqqad and Allan tributaries. [135] Khalid sent a force to pursue and prevent them from regrouping. [141] He followed up with a nighttime operation in which he seized the Ruqqad bridge, the only viable withdrawal route for the Byzantines. [135] The Muslims then assaulted the Byzantines' camps on 20 August and massacred most of the Byzantine troops, [135] or induced panic in Byzantine ranks, causing thousands to die in the Yarmouk's ravines in an attempt to make a westward retreat.

Khalid bested the Asad–Ghatafan forces in battle. [43] When Tulayha appeared close to defeat, the Fazara section of the Ghatafan under their chief Uyayna ibn Hisn deserted the field, compelling Tulayha to flee for Syria. [44] His tribe, the Asad, subsequently submitted to Khalid, followed by the hitherto neutral Banu Amir, which had awaited the results of the conflict before giving its allegiance to either side. [44] Uyayna was captured and brought to Medina. [43] As a result of the victory at Buzakha, the Muslims gained control over most of Najd. [45] Execution of Malik ibn Nuwayra Al-Masudi: Muruj-uz-Dhahab, 10. Ibn Rusta: A'laq-un-Nafeesa, 11. Isfahani: Al Aghani, 12. Yaqut: Mu'jam-ul-Buldan, The first few people who embraced Islam at the hands of the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah exalt his mention) were his wife Khadeejah, may Allah be pleased with her, his adopted son Zayd, may Allah be pleased with him, and his eleven-year-old cousin ‘Ali, may Allah be pleased with him. I have lived under different systems of life and have had the opportunity of studying various ideologies, but have come to the conclusion that none is as perfect as Islam. None of the systems has got a complete code of a noble life. Only Islam has it; and that is why good men embrace it. Islam is not theoretical; it is practical. It means complete submission to the will of God.'Beyond his military prowess, Khalid was known for his strict adherence to justice and fairness, even in times of conflict. He demonstrated compassion and magnanimity towards his defeated adversaries, earning the respect and admiration of both friend and foe. Khalid's father was al-Walid ibn al-Mughira, an arbitrator of local disputes in Mecca in the Hejaz (western Arabia). [2] Al-Walid is identified by the historians Ibn Hisham (d. 833), Ibn Durayd (d. 837) and Ibn Habib (d. 859) as the "derider" of the Islamic prophet Muhammad mentioned in the Meccan suras (chapters) of the Qur'an. [2] He belonged to the Banu Makhzum, a leading clan of the Quraysh tribe and Mecca's pre-Islamic aristocracy. [3] The Makhzum are credited for introducing Meccan commerce to foreign markets, [4] particularly Yemen and Abyssinia (Ethiopia), [3] and developed a reputation among the Quraysh for their intellect, nobility and wealth. [4] Their prominence was owed to the leadership of Khalid's paternal grandfather al-Mughira ibn Abd Allah. [4] Khalid's paternal uncle Hisham was known as the 'lord of Mecca' and the date of his death was used by the Quraysh as the start of their calendar. [5] The historian Muhammad Abdulhayy Shaban describes Khalid as "a man of considerable standing" within his clan and Mecca in general. [6] Perhaps one of the most brilliant biographies written on the Companion of the Prophet (SAWS), Khalid bin Al-Waleed, Sword of Allah. It is also stipulated that the one who wants to seek blessing have found one of the genuine relics of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
