Khalid ibn al-Walid (died 642 CE) was a 7th-century Arab military commander and companion of the Prophet Muhammad.

Spiritual Tarbiya Lessons from Khalid ibn al-Waleed (ra ... Khalid Ben El-Waleed (The Unbeaten Leader), (Leadership Analysis) Early life and conversion to Islam Background: Khalid was born into the powerful Banu Makhzum clan of the Quraysh tribe in Mecca, known for its military prowess. Initial opposition: Before converting to Islam, Khalid was an opponent of the early Muslims. As a commander for the Meccan polytheists, he notably played a decisive role against the Muslims at the Battle of Uhud in 625 CE. Acceptance of Islam: He converted to Islam and joined the Prophet Muhammad in 629 CE, just before the conquest of Mecca. Military career and campaigns After his conversion, Khalid's military genius became a significant asset to the Muslim army. Battle of Mu'tah: In 629 CE, he took command during the Battle of Mu'tah, saving the Muslim forces from a potential rout against the Byzantine army after the first three commanders were killed. It was after this battle that the Prophet Muhammad gave him the title "Sword of God". Ridda Wars: After the Prophet's death, Khalid was instrumental in the Ridda Wars (Wars of Apostasy) under the first Caliph, Abu Bakr. He successfully suppressed rebel tribes across Arabia, consolidating the nascent Muslim state's control. Conquest of Iraq: In 633 CE, Abu Bakr sent Khalid to invade the Sassanian (Persian) Empire. He conquered Mesopotamia and its client kingdom of Al-Hirah in a series of swift campaigns. Conquest of Syria: He was then transferred to the western front to lead the conquest of Byzantine Syria. He masterminded the decisive victories at the Battle of Ajnadayn (634 CE) and the Battle of Yarmouk (636 CE), which effectively sealed the fate of Byzantine control in the region. Later life and death Dismissal and death: Despite his military achievements, Caliph Umar relieved him of his high command. Historians cite reasons for this dismissal, including a desire to shift focus from relying on Khalid's personal charisma to the overall leadership of the Islamic state. Khalid, however, remained an effective leader in the campaigns against the Byzantines. Death and legacy: He died in 642 CE in Homs, Syria, and is buried there. As he lay dying in his bed, he reportedly expressed sadness that he had not been martyred on the battlefield. Today, he is revered as a hero in Islamic history and is remembered for his military leadership and devotion. AI can make mistakes, so double-check responses
