Ramadan events and lessons
Battle of Buwaib
Time in the month of Ramadan
From the thirteenth year of the Hijra
The matter was settled for the Muslims in the Arabian Peninsula
After eliminating the apostasy movement
Which wanted to return people to before Islam
God Almighty prepared for her the Rightly Guided Caliph
Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him
So he extinguished its flame
He stopped its flood with his inimitable wisdom
And his strong resolve
Thus people became steadfast in Islam
The dreams of the apostates collapsed
Their hopes went unheeded
After achieving this great victory for Muslims
Which led to internal stability
You see the Muslims conquering the Levant and Iraq
The seasoned leader asked for permission
Al-Muthannab bin Haritha Al-Shaibani
Caliph Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with them both
In the invasion of Iraq
Which was under the control of the Persians
He received the friend, may God be pleased with him
This request is consent
So he sent to Khalid bin Al-Walid, may God be pleased with him
He orders him to invade Iraq from its south
Then he added it with a double
And the command of Iyad bin Ghanman
To start shouting from the top of Iraq
This occurred at the beginning of the twelfth year of the Hijra
Khaled marched with ten thousand fighters
The Muthanna joined him with eight thousand
They started to get confused
There they met the Persians
They defeated them crushingly
Khaled then left Iraq
Opened by city city
But the ongoing developments in the Levant
represented by the huge Roman crowds
To fight Muslims
I made Abu Bakr send to Khalid
He asks him to quickly help Damascus
So Khaled left
He kept the Muthanna among a group of Muslims in Iraq
So Al-Muthanna remained there
He sensed Persian mobilization movements
So he hurried himself to the city
He seeks help from the Caliph of the Muslims
Asking him for help
His coming was in the last days
From the life of Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him
He appointed the successor of Al-Siddiq, Omar Al-Farouq
With the help of Al-Muthanna
And without delay
Omar hastened his first assumption of the caliphate
By helping the nation with a group of Muslims
Led by Abu Ubaid bin Masoud Al-Thaqafi
He went with his group to Iraq
They met the Persians in the Battle of the Bridge
Which ended with the defeat of the Muslims
A large number of them were killed
At their head is the Muslim leader Abu Ubaid
The news reached Caliph Omar
He saw that Iraq needed large crowds
Due to the large number of Persians
And their use of elephants, from which horses and camels flee
Omar asked the tribes for help
Large crowds came to the city
From various parts of the Arabian Peninsula
With this help, Omar pushed Al-Muthanna to the aid of Al-Muthanna
With this combination, the Muslims fought in Al-Buwaib
The time and place of the event
This battle is called the Battle of Buwaib
Relative to the place where it occurred
Al-Buwaib is a river in Iraq, the location of Kufa
His mouth is at the abode of sustenance, taking from the Euphrates
This battle took place in the month of Ramadan
Thirteen years AH
In the hands of battle
When help reached Al-Muthanna
Complete the Muslim army
He became fully prepared to compete with the Persians
His general command was Al-Muthanna bin Haritha
When the Persians heard of this readiness
They sent an army led by Mahran Al-Hamdhani
When the Muslims were defeated in the Battle of the Bridge
That horse coveted them
Thinking that Muslims have been weakened by the previous loss
As for Muslims
Their enthusiasm for the Battle of Buwaib intensified
As revenge for his defeat in a contest
In addition to the army that came from the city
Al-Muthanna sought help from Arab tribes in Iraq
Like my tribe, we tiger and conquer
They were Christians
And they wanted to fight
Victory for the Arabs over the Persians
The Muslim army camped on the western bank of the Euphrates River
While the Persian army camped
On the eastern bank
The Persian army came in three ranks
With each row an elephant
And their foot is in front of their elephant
And they have zajal
Then Mahran sent to Al-Muthanna asking him
Either you cross over to us
Or we will cross over to you
Al-Muthanna replied
You cross over
So they crossed over to them
This is a wise plan by Al-Muthanna
He benefited from her bridge lesson
And since the time was Ramadan
Al-Muthanna decided to let the Muslims break the fast
To be stronger for them
So the last of them broke their fast
Al-Muthanna mobilized the army
He made it pass over each of the banners of the princes of the tribes
He protects them and urges them to strive, be patient, and remain silent
And they all say
I hope that people will not come before you today
By God, nothing pleases me today for myself
Except that it pleases me for your common people
They answer him like that
He is fairer than himself in word and deed
No one was able to criticize him in word or deed
And in the book Jarir Ibn Abdullah Al-Bajli, may God be pleased with him, in his generation
And a group of Muslim leaders
Al-Muthanna told them
I enlarge three big ones
So they prepared
When the fourth child grows old, they become pregnant
They responded to his words with listening, obedience and acceptance
The bloody encounter
When Al-Muthanna said takbeer, he first said takbeer
Opportunities rushed to them
So they carried until they closed them
They fought fiercely
Al-Muthanna saw a defect in some of the ranks of Bani Ajl
So he sent a man to them saying:
The prince reads his greetings to you and says to you
Do not expose the Arabs today
So they moderated
When he saw that from them, he liked it and laughed
And he sent a message to the people saying:
O Muslims, your customs
Support God and he will support you
And let the Muthanna and the Muslims pray to God for victory and victory
When the war lasted for a long time
Al-Muthanna gathered a group of his heroic companions to protect his back
He charged Mahran
He removed it from its place until he entered the building
Then they mixed with them and the two hearts came together
Dust rose and forests fought
They cannot devote themselves to the victory of their prince
For Muslims and polytheists
A Christian boy from Banu Taghlib carried him
So he killed Mahran and mounted his horse
And it was said
Al-Mudhar bin Hassan bin Dirar attacked Al-Dhabi and stabbed him
Jaleer bin Abdullah Al-Bajli had his head cut off
And the heart of the Muslims hurts the heart of the polytheists
Masoud, Al-Muthanna's brother, was injured that day
And a group of Muslim notables
When Masoud was injured, she placed Dhan with him
And he said
And a virgin coven
Raise your flag, may God raise you
Do not be alarmed by my death
Al-Muthanna had told them
If you see us hit
Do not pretend to be what you are
Stick to your lines
And sing the songs of those next to you
When the Muslims saw Al-Muthanna
He removed the heart and annihilated its people
The things that are avoided by Muslims are proven to be the things that are done by the polytheists
And they started turning the non-Arabs back on their backs
Al-Muthanna and the Muslims began to pray for their victory
And he sends them someone to nag them and tell them
Your habits are in your likes
Support God and he will support you
Until they defeated the Persians
The Magi fled when their resistance weakened
The Muslims kneeled on their shoulders, separating them by a distance
Al-Muthanna bin Haritha preceded him to the bridge
He stood on it to prevent the horse from crossing it
So that Muslims can control them
So they rode on their shoulders for the rest of that day and that night
He killed them on that day
Many drowned in the river
Battle results
This battle was a great pain for the Persians
A great joy for Muslims
Its results were the prelude to the great victory over the Persians
It is the results of the battle
Firstly
The Persian commander, Mahran, was killed
And a large number of his soldiers and leaders
However, a significant number of Muslims were killed
It was estimated at four thousand
But it is a small number compared to killing Persians
Secondly
This victory encouraged Muslims to continue in Iraq
And progress to new conquests after that
This battle was the prelude to the victory of the Hasib Muslims over the Persians in Al-Qadisiyah
Third
Why did the polytheist Persians suffer this terrible defeat?
The Persian nobility agreed on a number of leadership changes
So they began to isolate their former king
Puran Dikht
A new king from the Kasra dynasty was installed
He is Yazdgerd bin Shahriar bin Kasra
A new king from the Kasra dynasty was installed
He is Yazdgerd bin Shahriar bin Kasra
This new king changed the leadership of the general army
So he entrusted her to Rastan
He assigned him to fight the Muslims in the future
Fourth
The many spoils that the Muslims gained from the Persians
There are lessons in this event
Firstly
Defeat is not a final loss
Rather, it is a valuable lesson that reveals mistakes
To avoid in the future
Thus, Al-Muthanna benefited from the lesson of the bridge
He was victorious in Moayb
Secondly
Arrogance leads to defeat
The wise man no matter how much he defeats his enemy
Do not seek help from him in the coming rounds
He never forgets that war is a debate
And these days
And eternity is a heart
Third
The sincere Mujahid does not look for titles
He does not run for fame and the spotlight on his heroism
It is not enough for him that God knows him
Even if humans and their elders do not know him
Fourth
The battle is not only courage
Rather, it is preparation, planning and tactics
Tact and patience
Fifth
The importance of turning to God Almighty
When meeting enemies
And the greatness of the impact of his supplication to God Almighty
And trust in Him
