About This Book

The Battle of Qadisiyyah by Abdul Malik Mujahid tells the story of one of the decisive battles of early Islamic history. At al-Qadisiyyah, a Muslim army led by Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas faced the forces of the Sasanian Persian Empire, one of the great powers of the time, and defeated a far larger army.

The book explains why the battle mattered: the victory broke Persian power, contributed to the fall of the Sasanian dynasty, opened the way for the conquest of Iraq, and hastened the spread of Islam into Persia (Iran) and beyond.
