'Amr bin Al-'Aas - The Conqueror Of Egypt

Pages:48

Cover Type:Paperback

Publisher:Darussalam

‘Amr bin Al-‘Aas (radi Allahu anhu) was one of the greatest enemies of Islam before his conversion. He used all of his resources and skills to thwart the efforts of Muhammad (sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam) and his Companions. However, being an intelligent man, it was only a matter of time before 'Amr (radi Allahu anhu) realized that he was fighting a losing battle and there was no way fleeing from Allah except to come to Him in submission as a Muslim. After embracing Islam, 'Amr (radi Allahu anhu) became one of Islam's greatest heroes. Prophet Muhammad (sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam) himself showed his full trust in `Amr's capabilities and sincerity towards Islam by appointing him as governor over Oman. As a war commander, he later led the Muslims to conquer Egypt and establish a strong state in that land.
