The Battle of Yarmouk (636 CE) was one of the most decisive battles in Islamic history. Under the leadership of Khalid ibn al-Walid (RA), the Muslim army defeated the Byzantine forces, leading to the Byzantine withdrawal from much of Syria. Early Muslim historians describe the battle as a turning point in the history of the region, though many details—such as exact troop numbers—remain debated.
