Hazrat Saad Bin Abi Waqas (R.A) was appointed as the governor of Kufa during the Khilafat (caliphate) of Hazrat Umar ibn Al-Khattab (R.A). He was one of the Ashra Mubashra (ten companions promised Paradise) and a highly respected military commander and administrator in early Islamic history.

Hazrat Umar (R.A), known for his administrative wisdom, chose Saad (R.A) due to his integrity, military experience, and deep knowledge of Islam. Under his governance, Kufa became one of the major centers of Islamic learning and political administration in Iraq. Saad Bin Abi Waqas also led the Muslims to victory in the famous Battle of Qadisiyyah against the Persian Empire, which was a pivotal moment in Islamic expansion.

Though he was later removed due to complaints (which were investigated and found to be baseless), Hazrat Saad (R.A) remains one of the most trusted figures in Islamic history. His leadership in Kufa laid a strong foundation for future governance in the region.
