heroes of Islam. Besides him, Genghis Khan was the only other general to remain undefeated
in his entire military life. A measure of Khalid’s genius is that he was the only person to inflict
a (temporary) defeat on the Prophet Muhammad, (may Allah bless him and grant him peace).
The original title of the book, “The Sword of Allah: Khalid bin Al-Waleed, His Life and
Campaigns” was written by the late Lieutenant-General A.I. Akram of the Pakistan Army, in
October 1969. The author learnt Arabic in order to draw on the earliest historical sources and
he visited every one of Khalid’s battlefields in order to draw analyses from the viewpoint of
military strategy, including reconciling conflicting historians’ accounts. The book was originally
published by the Army Education Press, Rawalpindi, Pakistan and printed by Feroze Sons
Publishers in Lahore, Pakistan. The excellence of the book was such that it has been translated
from English into Arabic and is currently sold in bookshops throughout the Arab World.
