ZS4: The Valley of Yarmouk

The story of Prophet Ayub a.s. had reminded us the importance and the essentiality to subscribe ourselves to this element for our success. While imparting the story into our CPU, 15 minutes later, our coaster arrived at another nostalgic place where one of the most significant events in the Islamic history, the Battle of Yarmouk took place.
The Battle of Yarmouk‎, also spelled Yarmuk, lead by Khalid ibn Al-Walid r.a. was a major battle between the Muslim Arab forces of the Rashidun Caliphate and the armies of the Roman-Byzantine Empire. The battle consisted of a series of engagements that lasted for six days in August 636, at this place called the Yarmouk Valley. The result of the battle was a complete Muslim victory, which permanently ended Byzantine rule south of Anatolia. The battle is regarded as an example in military history where an inferior force by superior generalship manages to overcome a superior force. And, one of the most decisive battles in military history and it marked the first great wave of Islamic conquests after the death of Prophet Muhammad saw (peace be upon him), heralding the rapid advance of Islam into the then Christian Levant.
The view and the serenity of the surrounding refreshed our memory, which helped us to visualize the situation then. The companions (May Allah swt pleased with them) of Prophet Muhammad saw (peace be upon him) who had sacrificed their life and martyred during this battle had achieved a true sense of success, which all of us should learn.
After spending around 15 minutes admiring the place, we continued our journey to Busra.
