This book is about the lives of those noble Companions and Commanders who led the Islamic forces in the violent and strife-tom arenas of conflict against the Kuffar (disbelievers). They struck terror in the hearts of the enemy and the strong forts and palaces of Caesar and Chosroes trembled before their might. However, in this compilation, there are not only the stories of the battlefields but also the stories of bravery and courage, valor and piety, austerity and simplicity. These stories describe the true circumstances that led the Muslims to fight more powerful enemies than they were at that time.

During the early modern times (roughly the so-called Renaissance Period) (began late 15th century), Western Christendom attained much higher levels of power and sophistication including militarily. Its medieval crusading fervour had hardly abated, though. In the vast conflict which opposed Islam and Christendom by land and sea, some territories in particular: North Africa and the Holy Sites of Makkah and Madinah became particularly threatened.It was at this particular junction that arose a number of Muslim army leaders of incomparable stature: Kheir Eddin Barbarossa, Selim I, and Sultan Abd al Malek are amongst such figures. To them and others this volume is dedicated.

During the two World Wars that marked the 20th century, hundreds of thousands of non-European combatants fought in the ranks of various European armies. The majority of these soldiers were Muslims from North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Central Asia, or the Indian Subcontinent. How are these combatants considered in existing historiography? Over the past few decades, research on war has experienced a wide-reaching renewal, with increased emphasis on the social and cultural dimensions of war, and a desire to reconstruct the experience and viewpoint of the combatants themselves. This volume reintroduces the question of religious belonging and practice into the study of Muslim combatants in European armies in the 20th century, focusing on the combatants' viewpoint alongside that of the administrations and military hierarchy.

That Muhammad succeeded as a prophet is undeniable; a prominent military historian now suggests that he might not have done so had he not also been a great soldier. Best known as the founder of a major religion, Muhammad was also Islam’s first great general. While there have been numerous accounts of Muhammad the Prophet, this is the first military biography of the man. In Muhammad: Islam’s First Great General, Richard A. Gabriel shows us a warrior never before seen in antiquity—a leader of an all-new religious movement who in a single decade fought eight major battles, led eighteen raids, and planned thirty-eight other military operations. Gabriel’s study portrays Muhammad as a revolutionary who introduced military innovations that transformed armies and warfare throughout the Arab world. Gabriel analyzes the environment in which Muhammad lived and the religion he inspired as they relate to his military achievements. Gabriel explains how Muhammad changed the social composition of Arab armies by replacing traditional ways of fighting with a new command structure. Muhammad’s transformation of Arab warfare enabled his successors to establish the core of the Islamic empire—an accomplishment that, Gabriel argues, would have been militarily impossible without Muhammad’s innovations. Richard A. Gabriel challenges existing scholarship on Muhammad’s place in history and offers a viewpoint not previously attempted.

The word Islam means Peace, but for nearly 1,400 years its adherents have waged war—frequently on the grandest and most successful scales in history. This book introduces some of Islam's greatest military figures and analyzes significant events that are shaping the modern world. Nafziger and Walton detail the rich and diverse military histories of dozens of empires, nations, tribes, clans, and peoples.

Lieutenant Commander Ruthie Ayesha Muhammad, an American Muslim and retired U.S. Navy officer, seeks to dispel the negative myths that question American Muslims' loyalty to our country, by highlighting American Muslims' contributions to the United State Armed Forces in her first book, American Muslim Patriots, Islam and U.S. Military History. In it, she outlines the history of Muslims in the American military and recounts the tales of a number of great Muslim patriots, many of whom fought and died for America. Through stories from her own experience and the experiences of others, Muhammad honors the memories of those Muslim military heroes and compels her readers to look beyond superficial prejudices. In doing so, one should see that duty to country is a quality determined not by religious belief or skin color and background, but by character.
