events of the conquest of Egypt under the command of Amr Ibn Al-'As (Radi Allah Ta'ala Anhu). One of the greatest early Musli
statesmen & generals, he was appointed by the Prophet (SAW) as the governor of Oman. His political & military acumen was
second to none. He was given the leadership of Muslim force in Palestine by Syedna Abu Bakr (R.A) & he played a vital role in
the battles of Ajnadin & Yarmouk.Under his inspirational leadership Muslims conquered Al-Quds (Jerusalem). He urged Syedna
Umer(R.A) to permit him to lead a campaign to Egypt. Eventually he acquired the permission & consequently conquered Egypt. May Allah be pleased with Him.
Yeh Ghazi Yeh Teray Pur Asrar Banday
Jinhain Tunay Bakhsha hai Zauq-e-Khudai
Do Neem Un ki Thokar say Sahra o Darya
Simat kar Pahaar In ki Haybat say Rayi
Do Aalam say Karti hai Baygaana Dil ko
Ajab cheez hai Lazzat-e-Aashnayi
Shahadat hai Matloob o Maqsood-e-Momin
Na Maal-e-Ghaneemat na Kishwar Kushayi
Dilay Mard-e-Momin main phir zinda kar day
Woh Bijli thi keh Na'ara-e-La Tadar main
Azayim ko seenom main baydaar kar day
Nigha-e-Muslim ko Talwar kar day
(Iqbal)
