🎬 Welcome to our latest video: “How Amr Bin Al Aas Conquered Alexandria in 1941”! 🎥
In this video, we delve into the fascinating history of the Arab conquest of Egypt, led by the formidable general, Amr ibn al-As1. Born into the wealthy Qurayshite clan, Amr embraced Islam around 629 and was assigned important roles in the nascent Muslim community by the Islamic prophet Muhammad1.
Our journey begins in 639, when Amr launched the conquest of Egypt on his own initiative1. He led a series of victories against the Byzantines, culminating in the surrender of Alexandria in 641 or 6421. This marked the swiftest of the early Muslim conquests1.
We’ll explore how Amr’s westward advances took him as far as Tripoli in present-day Libya1, and how he guaranteed the security of Egypt’s population, imposing a poll tax on non-Muslim adult males1.
Join us as we walk through the streets of Fustat, the provincial capital founded by Amr, and visit the mosque later named after him1. We’ll also discuss how Amr ruled relatively independently, acquired significant wealth, and upheld the interests of the Arab conquerors1.
