Historical Account

It was in the same year that the death of two extremely influential opponents of Islām also took place. The death of Walīd bin Mughīrah has already been alluded to above. The death of ‘Āṣ bin Wā’il took place around the same time. Both of these individuals were staunch enemies of Islām, and were looked upon with great reverence in Makkah. It is a remarkable sight however, that much time had not passed before the progeny of both these deceased was seen standing in the frontline of the devotees of Islām, after entering into the servitude of the Holy Prophetsa. As such, in the history of Islām, the heroic feats of Khālid bin Walīd and ‘Amr bin Al-‘Āṣ require no introduction whatsoever.
