MCQ Detailed View

Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed (R.A), famously known as “Saifullah” (the Sword of Allah), belonged to the Banu Makhzoom tribe of the Quraysh in Makkah. The Banu Makhzoom was one of the most powerful and respected tribes among the Quraysh and was known for its strength, leadership, and warriors. Khalid’s father, Al-Waleed bin Al-Mughirah, was a prominent chief of this tribe and held great influence before the rise of Islam.

Before accepting Islam, Khalid bin Waleed (R.A) was a skilled military commander and initially fought against the Muslims in the Battle of Uhud. However, after embracing Islam in 8 AH, his abilities were used to serve Islam, and he quickly became one of the most successful generals in Islamic military history. His tribal background in Banu Makhzoom gave him strong leadership training, discipline, and influence which he used in service to the Muslim Ummah.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) honored him with the title “Saifullah” after his bravery and military excellence, especially during battles such as Mutah and Yarmouk. His tribe’s legacy in pre-Islamic Arabia and his own contributions after embracing Islam make him one of the most remarkable companions in Islamic history.
