Battles, Wars and Conquests Browser
The expeditions, battles, sieges, conquests and wars of Islamic history — from Badr to the modern era — each with its date in both calendars, its place, its commanders and its sources.
This build holds 3,251 military events across 11 kinds and 13 eras, including 57 ghazawat and 15 saraya of the Prophet's time. Every card leads to the museum's fully cited record.
Expeditions of the Prophet's time
A ghazwa is an expedition the Prophet joined or led himself; a sariya is one he sent without joining. The grouping is derived from the records' relations and completes as they do.
