Khalid Bin Waleed

by Naima Sohaib

Khalid bin Waleed, also known as the Sword of Allah, was one of the greatest generals in history, both Islamic and otherwise. He was undefeated in battle, his courage was unparalleled, his strategic mind was stunning, and his humility and obedience to his ruler were astonishing. He contributed hugely in the initial wave of military successes of the Muslims that gave them the momentum to spread throughout the world. Apart from his competence and talent in the battlefield, he was a pious Muslim with strong morals and compassion that set him apart from many of the world’s famous military leaders. He was, in short, a Muslim hero, and his life gives inspiration to us all.

Really gives you a concise summary of this great companion of the prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) Khalid Bin Waleed (R.A.) is a tremendous personality in history and his life was definitely worth writing about. According to wikipedia there have been 50 generals in human history (that we know of) that never lost a battle and Khalid Bin Waleed (R.A.) is among them. I highly recommend this book for anyone trying to get a quick summary and read of the most important highlights in the life of this man.
