During the period of Rajput supremacy in north India, which lasted from the seventh to the twelfth centuries, the first Muslim effort toward invasion was made in 664. Forces led by Mohalib began launching raids from Persia, striking Multan in the southern Punjab in what is today Pakistan. Mohalib penetrated as far as the ancient capital of the Maili and returned with prisoners of war but he didn't come to conquer. Later, in 711, the Umayyad caliph in Damascus sent an expedition to Baluchistan (an arid region on the Iranian Plateau in ...

The Battle of Uhud was fought on 23 March, 625 CE, between a force from the small Muslim community of Medina, in what is now north-western Arabia, and a force from Mecca, the town from which many of the Muslims had immigrated (see Hijra). Uhud is near Medina. The Muslims had the worst of the encounter and retired after having lost some seventy-five men. However, the Meccans did not pursue the Muslims into Medina, but marched back to Mecca. The encounter is generally regarded as a victory for the Meccans and a serious setback fo ...

At the Muslim conference of war, there were many voices urging Muhammad to march out and attack the Meccans. Muhammad felt that it would be safer to stay in the center of the oasis and take advantage of the heavily fortified strongholds there. Those who wanted to march out argued that the Meccans were destroying their crops, and that huddling in the strongholds would destroy Muslim prestige. Muhammad bowed to the wishes ...

Shia view of the Sahaba - Ahl al-Bayt. While Sunni accept the testimony of all Sahaba as a authenticated part of the chain of narrators in a hadith, without scrutinizing them, Shia do that only for the Ahl al-Bayt. This is due to that Shia believes them to be thoroughly cleansed from all sin, as described in hadith of the Cloak. Others are scrutinizied for reliability.

Muhammad had preached his message of Islam in Mecca from 613 to 622. He had attracted a small, tight-knit community of followers, but had also succeeded in angering the rest of the Quraysh, the clan that ruled Mecca and to which he belonged. After years of persecution, the Muslims fled Mecca in 622 and established themselves at Medina. They considered themselves to be in a state of war with Mecca and raided Meccan caravans. The Meccans sent out a small army to punish the Muslims and stop their raiding. At the Battle of Badr in ...

Watt regards this battle as a setback rather than a defeat. To the Muslims, however, it was a shock. They had expected another victory like Badr. Instead, they had barely held off the invaders and had lost a great many men. This was a large loss to a small community. If Muhammad was Allah's favored prophet, how could this have happened? The usual Muslim explanation for the defeat is that the Muslim forces were on the verge of success when they stopped to loot the Meccan tents. The Muslims, by their own greed, indiscipline, and vainglo ...

Much of the surviving historical material on early Islamic history consists of old soldiers' tales. Scholars like Ibn Ishaq and Waqidi interviewed the families of the earliest Muslims, writing down the recollections they had heard from their elders. Inevitably, a great many of these recollections consist of accounts of the bravery of the soldier in question, and emphatic denials that he was ever part of the contingent of gr ...
