Political Aspects & impacts of Iranian Campaign Lead by Hazrat Saad bin Abi Waqas (R.A)

Abstract

In the days when Islam came into hold and power, the world was totally unconscious about the idea of compassionate and fair guidelines of war. All types of barbarity and brutality were executed in war, and the privileges of those at war were not by any means perceived, not to mention regarded. Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ) was the first who introduced a complete and practical code of conduct for humanity. As a role model He (ﷺ) not only changed the culture and state but also he civilized the Warfield and warriors.

First time in human history, the rules of Warfield and warfare were introduced and strictly commanded to be followed by all the followers of Islam. All aspects of his modesty were adopted by his companions and for the supremeness of those dealings made them high command, regardless of when or where they forwarded. The Islamic rule was majorly extended in the time of second Khalifa Hazrat Umar Farooq (R.A), and he was the one who picked Saad bin Abi Waqas (R.A) for the campaign of Persia on the advice of Hazrat Abdul Rahman bin Awf (R.A). Saad bin Abi Waqas (R.A) used the best of his brain and war policies that titled him as the Conqueror of Persia. His campaign was politically so successful that weakened the Yazdgard, the Persian Supreme Leader, and all his followers to such a degree that they, with their utmost desires and efforts, could not gain the hold of Persia back from the followers of Islam.
