Labaik Ya Hassan O Hussain

d person. He was a great and talented ruler. During his Khilaafat, vast areas of the Roman and Persian
empires and the whole of Egypt were brought under Islamic rule. He was also a gifted orator. He was very concerned
for the welfare of the Muslims. He left a honourable legacy for Muslims after him. The Holy Quran was given to him
by Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) for safe-keeping. APPOINTS NEW COMMANDER
Sayyiduna Umar (radi Allahu anu) was a strong disciplinarian. He noticed the tremendous popularity of Sayyiduna
Khalid bin Walid (radi Allahu anhu). He felt that people will lose trust in Almighty Allah and put all their trust in
Sayyiduna Khalid bin Walid (radi Allahu anhu). He feared that the people may think too highly of him, thereby possibly
increasing the self-esteem of Sayyiduna Khalid bin Walid (radi Allahu anhu) which would also breed arrogance, so he
removed Sayyiduna Khalid (radi Allahu anhu) and appointed Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah (radi Allahu anhu) as
the Commander in Chief of the Muslim army. Sayyiduna Khalid bin Walid (radi Allahu anhu) happily accepted the orders of Sayyiduna Umar (radi Allahu anhu) and
then served as an ordinary soldier. This is an example of the Islamic teachings of obedience to leadership! DEFEAT OF THE PERSIANS
Sayyiduna Khalid bin Walid (radi Allahu anhu) had left Sayyiduna Muthanna (radi Allahu anhu) in command of the
Muslim forces on the Iraqi front when he rushed to Yarmuk. Sayyiduna Muthanna (radi Allahu anhu) was finding it
difficult to counter the enemy and went personally to Madinatul Munawwarah to ask Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (radi Allahu
anhu) for re-inforcements. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) had by that time passed away. Sayyiduna Muthanna (radi Allahu anhu's) absence from the Iraqi front made things worse there. The Iranians
regrouped under the command of Rustam and recaptured the lands taken by the Muslims. Rustam sent 2 columns of
his army, one to Hirah and the other to Kaskar.
