The Conquests
Ash-Shaam
‫فتوح الشام‬
Did Islam spread by the Sword?
• Islamic Facts: No compulsion in Religion
• Historical Facts: Protection of other religions
under Islamic rule. Historical documents and
treaties.
• Common Sense Facts: Largest Muslim
population in countries not conquered
militarily.
Why ?
• Byzantines and Persians attacked Muslims
since early phases of Islam
• Killed those who chose Islam freely. (Farwa
bin Amr Al-Juthami Governor of Ma’an)
• It is an obligation upon the Muslim state to
secure delivery of the message to all and
guarantee free choice for those willing to
accept Islam.
Abou Bakr
• First army: Khalid bin Sa’id bin Al-A’as
to Taima’a
• ‫خالد بن سعيد بن العاص إلى تيماء‬

and another with Byzantines.

– Yazid bin Abou Sufian to Balka’
(South Syria)
