La conquête islamique de la Syrie

La Conquête islamique de la Syrie est un récit historique captivant des débuts de l'expansion musulmane au Levant sous les califats d'Abou Bakr et d'Omar ibn al-Khattab (qu'Allah les agrée). Initialement écrite en arabe sous le titre de Futuhusham , cette chronique classique du IXe siècle a été traduite en anglais avec soin pour la première fois, préservant ainsi la narration détaillée des batailles, des stratégies et des nobles compagnons qui commandaient les armées musulmanes.

1) Prelude
Abu Bakr bin Ahmad narrates from 'Umar bin 'Uthmân bin 'Abdurahmân, Nawfal bin Muhammad, Muhammad bin 'Abdillah bin Muhammad, Rabî'ah bin 'Uthmân, Yûnus bin Muhammad, Mâin bin Yahyâ bin 'Abdillâh, Muhammad bin Umar ar-Râfiqi, Mu'âth bin Muhammad al-Anşâri, Abdurahman bin Abdil-Azîz, Abdullah bin Majîd et al:
Rasûlullâh passed away and Abu Bakr became the Khalifah. Abû Bakr eliminated the false prophets, Musaylamah and Shuja' Wâlûd, while Tulayhah fled to Syria. He conquered Yamâhah and destroyed Banû Hanîfa and the Arabs submitted to him. The Khalifah then resolved to invade Syria and fight the Romans. Hence, he gathered the Sahabah and said, "O people, may Allâh have mercy upon you. Remember that Allâh has blessed you with Islâm, made you the Ummah of Muhammad, increased your Faith and Conviction and granted you complete victory. He has said:
... اليَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الْإِسْلَامَ دِينًا
Today I have perfected for you your religion and completed my favour unto you and have chosen Islam for you as a religion...
[5:3]
Know that Rasûlullâh intended to wage Jihâd in Syria and desired that effort should be made in that direction but then Allâh recalled him to Himself.

The Islâmic Conquest of Syria
"Glory be to Allah, the keys of Syria have been given to me," proclaimed
Rasûlullâh Yet fourteen years later, Yazid bin Abi Sufyan
at a time when Muslims were facing complete destruction. marched into Caesarea,
the last Roman stronghold of resistance in Syria.
THE ISLAMIC CONQUEST OF SYRIA, is the first complete English translation of Futûhushâm, the ninth century Arabic classic detailing the Muslim advance into Syria. The English reader has, for the first time, the opportunity to read about the great epic struggle of a small ill-equipped band of Muslims that overthrew the superpower of their day. Events only briefly mentioned in other books are graphically described here, such as the Battle of al Yarmuk, which changed the course of world history. The great personalities of early Islam are brought to life in a unique way. The strategies of Khâlid bin al-Walid, the piety of Abû 'Ubaydah al-Jarrah, the bravery of Dirâr al-Kindi and many more are vividly described. The text also sheds light on some lesser known aspects of Islamic history such as the significant role of women and Roman princes who had embraced Islam.
AL IMAM AL WAQIDî, the great historian, was born at the beginning of 130 AH in al-Madinah, where he began his studies. He migrated to Iraq in 180 AH during the reign of Mamûn ar-Rashid. There Yahyâ al-Barmakî welcomed him due to his great learning and he was included as one of Mamûn's elite. He was soon appointed as judge and held this post until his death in 207 AH.
