In which Hijri year did Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed (RA) embrace Islam?

The correct answer is 8th Hijri year. Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed (RA), famously known as “Saifullah” (The Sword of Allah), embraced Islam in 8 A.H. during the period of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW)’s life. Before accepting Islam, Khalid (RA) was a prominent military leader for the Quraysh and actively participated in battles against the Muslims, including the Battle of Uhud. His conversion marked a significant turning point in Islamic military history because of his exceptional strategic and leadership skills.

After embracing Islam, Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed (RA) immediately devoted himself to serving the Muslim community and the cause of Islam. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) recognized his military talent and trustworthiness, eventually entrusting him with commanding Muslim armies in key battles. His leadership in campaigns such as Battle of Mu’tah, Battle of Yarmouk, and the conquest of Mecca demonstrated his unmatched brilliance and loyalty to Islam.

Hazrat Khalid’s acceptance of Islam not only strengthened the Muslim army but also boosted morale, inspiring many others to join the faith. His story illustrates how even former opponents of Islam can become its strongest defenders once they recognize the truth.
