Summary
The Battle of al-Qadisiyyah took place in 14 AH during the caliphate of Umar al-Khattab RA, between the Muslim army led by Sa'ad bin Abi Waqqas RA and the Persian army led by Rustum. Before the fighting, several envoys were sent to invite the Persians to Islam or the payment of jizyah, but they refused. The battle lasted about four days and ended in a Muslim victory after Rustum was killed. Lessons include that war is a last resort after da'wah is rejected, the duty of da'wah continues, arrogance leads to ruin, one should not flee responsibility despite hardship, and Allah aids those who truly strive.
