Khalid Ibn Al Waleed was a true hero of Islam. Between 632AD and 638AD he won nearly 100 battles big and small. He is considered one of the greatest generals in History. He has a great contribution in many Islamic conquests and the spread of Islam in far off lands outside Arabia.
He started off as an enemy and fought against the Muslim Army in the Battle of Uhad and the Battle of Khandaq. Then his brother converted to Islam and slowly Khalid also saw the truth in the teachings of Islam and was one of the last 3 to accept Islam before the conquest of Mecca.
