He embraced Mohamed several times and revealed the first verses of the Holy Qur`an. Mohamed's heart was filled with awe and hurried home trembling. When he told his wife his wonderful experience , she pacified , comforted and calmed him saying that he had no reason to fear; since she knew that he was a good man and his goodness and honesty would never be rewarded with evil. She accompanied him to her cousin who was highly cultured , well versed and learned scholar, Waraqa Ibn Nawfal, who listened attentively assuring that he must have been the prophet who was mentioned in the old scriptures and expected to appear then .

ENo one can relate the events that led to the victory and the expansion of Islam without mentioning the name of the famous Muslim leader, Khalid Ibnul Waleed .
E His father, Al Waleed Ibnul Mughira was a wealthy man, so Khalid didn’t have to learn a trade to earn his living and spent his day riding, racing and practicing the arts of fighting and wrestling and that is why he became a powerful and brilliant warrior .
E He became a brilliant fighter at the battle of Uhud but at that time he had not yet adopted Islam and he was fighting against Allah’s seal Prophet and Apostle Mohamed (pbuh) and his followers. It is well known that it was through the fatal mistake of the Muslim’s archers at the Battle of Uhud, who forgot the prophet’s instructions when victory was at hand and left their positions to collect the spoils, that Khalid who was stationed behind the Muslims army, seized the opportunity and attacked the Muslims and had it not been for Allah’s support, he would have defeated them completely .

3- Answer the following questions .

1-What was Khalid Ibnul Waleed ?
2-Who was Khalid’s father ?

EKhalid fought against the Muslims in several other battles with courage and tact which drew the Prophet’s attention to him that he talked to Khalid’s brother , Al-Waleed , who had already embraced Islam, and wondered why faith had not conquered the heart of that brave man. Al-Waleed told his brother what Allah's Prophet had said . Khalid had a wonderful vision in which he saw himself wandering in a desolate land where there was neither water nor plantation, but suddenly he saw himself leaving that barren desert land and entering a vast area of green land full of vegetation and fruit.
EThe vision had but one interpretation , the green land represented Faith that would soon fill his heart and replaced the darkness of disbelief. Without hesitation , Khalid traveled to Medina where he met Allah’s Prophet Mohamed(pbuh)and declared his belief in Islam .

وعلي الرغم من ذلك فلم يصب المسلمين الخوف عندما سمعوا أن قوة الكفار أكثر من ثلاثة أضعاف عددهم . وكان شعورهم انهمك كانوا سيحاربون من اجل الإيمان وان الله سبحانه سيكون بجانبهم . وكانت قوتهم تتكون من ثلاثمائة وثلاثة عشر رجلا يقودهم نبي الله الخاتم ورسوله محمد عليه السلام وكان عدد جيش الكفار يزيد علي ألف رجل مسلحين تسليحا جيدا . وكان بين قادته أحنك محاربي الجزيرة العربية تحت قيادة أبو جهل .
