Summary

In this talk, Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi discusses at length about the major conquests of Umar ibn Al-Khattab RA. Here, we are made to ponder and reflect at the sheer inability of comprehension of the defeat of the major powers in this era at the hands of a handful of Muslims who fought united against the Persian and Byzantine might and yet, emerged victorious. It is nothing but the will of Allah that saw this shocking event unfold and is beyond human understanding and intellect and hence, continues to perplex historians worldwide. For more information, do watch the video as Shaykh Yasir Qadhi attempts to diligently and honestly analyse and unfold the incidents that led to these conquests and their details.
