Shamsheer e Beniyam (Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed r.a) By Inayatullah Altamash.
With the blessings from Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), he earned the title Saifullah (“The Sword of Almighty Allah). He was a leader who initiated the tactical moves in every battle and expedition and led his troops from the front. His name instilled fear in all neighboring Arab states well as to Persia and as far as Rome (Byzantine) who were the superpowers of that time. From an early age, he developed competent skills in cavalry and archery. He was able to draw the arrow while mounted on the move with accuracy and used the spear which he used, as a strong weapon against his opponents in later years but his sword skills and speed were his forte which was a blessing from Almighty Allah.Khalid had a lot of characteristics that made him an effective leader; he had a high level of self-confidence and forcefulness. He was a trusted man, every soldier trusted him and even he trusted them, and that has been shown in many places and battles. They said that Khalid was making his army double their efforts in war by winning each soldier’s confidence.
