In which year was the Battle of Qadisiyyah fought?

The Battle of Qadisiyyah was fought in 15 Hijri, during the reign of Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA). This battle was a pivotal confrontation between the Muslim Arab army and the Sassanid Persian Empire. It is regarded as one of the most decisive battles in early Islamic history, marking the beginning of Muslim expansion into Persian territories and the eventual downfall of the Sassanid Empire.

The Muslim forces, led by Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas (RA), faced a much larger Persian army. Despite being outnumbered, the Muslims employed superior strategy, discipline, and faith-driven courage, which ultimately led to a decisive victory. The battle demonstrated the effectiveness of unity, strategic planning, and strong leadership under the guidance of Islam.

The victory at Qadisiyyah had long-lasting consequences. It paved the way for the conquest of Ctesiphon, the Persian capital, and eventually led to the integration of vast territories into the rapidly expanding Islamic state. The triumph also had a significant religious impact, spreading Islam further into Persia and setting an example of justice, organization, and moral governance.
