Islamic Conquests Throughout the Ages

The literal meaning of al-fath is the antonym of closure (i.e., opening), but what is meant by it here is the conquest of lands at war with the Muslims and the entry into the lands of the enemy. The plural is futooh. The word fath can also mean victory and conquest.

The understanding of al-futooh is not limited to military victory. It goes beyond to include all aspects of life, whether military, ethical or moral, which combined, caused the people, in the lands that were conquered, to embrace Islam willmgly and by conviction, triumphing the creed of Tawheed (professing and believing in Allah's Oneness), as opposed to shirk (idolatry or polytheism) that was common in those territories.

The word futooh, with this general understanding, means the jihad (strive) which the Muslims undertook, the conquest of the lands, pavmg the way for the call to Allah and conveying the Religion of Islam to the world, and demolishing the iniquitous powers of evil that forbade the Muslims and the people in those different lands (from following Islam).

It also includes the military events and the accompanying da'wah (call to Islam), beginning from the era of the Messenger of Allah ^, and becoming more prominent in its own sense during the era of the Caliphate Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq ^ and continued throughout the eras of the righteous Caliphs who succeeded him, and the other different Islamic eras that came after them, such as the Umayyads, the 'Abbasids, the Ayyubids, the Mameluks, the Ottomans and other Islamic states that followed them or were contemporaneous with them. It is also appropriate to include significant defensive operations in the events of the conquests whose aim was to repel enemies and protect previous conquests.

This book authentically describes all the significant events in these eras concisely.

Shaykh Uthaymeen

Abu 'Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Saalih ibn Muhammad ibn Sulayman ibn Abd Al Rahman Al Uthaymeen Al Tamimi (: أبو عبد الله محمد بن صالح بن محمد بن سليمان بن عبد الرحمن العثيمين التميمي), also known as Uthaymeen (March 9, 1925 – January 10, 2001), was an Islamic scholar in Saudi Arabia. He has been considered to be one of the greatest Faqīh of the modern era.

Shaikh ibn Uthaimin, as he was commonly called, dedicated his entire life to the service of Islam and Muslims by sharing his vast knowledge of the Islamic creed with students and members of the public through regular classes, publications, radio programs, and preaching and counselling activities

Uthaymeen was born on March 9, 1925 in the City of Unayzah, Qaseem Region of Saudi Arabia. He memorized the Quran at an early age. During of his study, he pursued rigorous religious education in Hadith, Tafsir, theology and Arabic language under the tutelage of renowned Saudi Ulama and graduated from the College of Sharia in Riyadh. He was a member of the Saudi Commission of Senior Islamic Scholars, a professor at the College of Shari’a at Imam Mohammad bin Saud Islamic University in Qassim and a member of its Academic Council and treatises dealing with different aspects of the Islamic doctrine. His most important books are his 15-volume book on fiqh and 10-volume book on the interpretation of the Holy Qur’an. He also used to teach at the Holy Mosque in Mecca during Ramadan.

After completing his memorization of the Qur'an and foundational studies, he began his full-time religious studies under Sheikh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz al-Mutawwa' and Sheikh Ali al-Salihi in Unayzah. These were the two teachers that sheikh 'Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di had appointed to instruct beginning students. After one year of studying under those two teachers, al-Uthaymeen began studying under sheikh 'Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di in 1945 and continued to be his student until al-Sa'di's death in 1956. The year 1952, al-Salihi advised al-Uthaymeen to enrol in the newly opened Ma'had al-'Ilmi in Riyadh, which he did after seeking permission from al-Sa'di. While there, he studied under Sheikh Muhammad al-Ameen al-Shinqiti, Sheikh 'Abd al-'Aziz bin Baz, and sheikh 'Abd al-Razzaq 'Afeefi, among others. He studied there for two years before returning to Unayzah, where began teaching and continued his studies under al-Sa'd

Al-Uthaymeen is still considered an influential cleric within the Salafist movement. Due to his eclectic approach of quoting from all various schools of law within Sunni Islam

The Shaykh passed away on Wednesday 15 Shawwaal 1421 A.H. / 10 January 2001 C.E. at the age of 74
