فَتْح بَيْت ٱلْمَقْدِس

Sayyiduna Hadrat Umar ibn al-Khattab (Radiyallahu Anhu) رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ personally travelled to Jerusalem to accept its surrender. He refused to pray inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, fearing future Muslims might convert it into a masjid. He instead prayed outside and signed the Covenant of Umar (Al-Uhda al-Umariyya), guaranteeing the safety, property, and religious freedom of the Christian inhabitants — a landmark document in interfaith relations.

فَتْح مِصْر

Sayyiduna Hadrat Amr ibn al-As (Radiyallahu Anhu) رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ led the Muslim army to Egypt and conquered the Fortress of Babylon (near modern Cairo). This opened one of the most important regions of the ancient world to Islam. He established the city of Fustat, which became the first Muslim capital of Egypt and the precursor to Cairo.

تَحْرِيم ٱلْخَمْر

The final and decisive revelation prohibiting alcohol was sent down: 'O you who believe, intoxicants, gambling, stone altars, and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid them that you may be successful' (Surah al-Ma'idah 5:90). This was the culmination of a gradual process — the Quran first mentioned intoxicants neutrally, then discouraged them, and finally prohibited them completely.

The passing of Hadrat Ibrahim ibn Adham (Rahimahullah) رَحِمَهُ ٱللَّٰهُ, the prince of Balkh who renounced his kingdom to devote himself to the worship of Allah. He is one of the most celebrated early Muslim ascetics. Imam Ghazali frequently references his sayings and story in the Ihya Ulum al-Din. His renunciation of worldly power in favour of divine love has inspired Muslims for over a millennium.

The passing of Hadrat Imam Abu Yusuf (Rahimahullah) رَحِمَهُ ٱللَّٰهُ Ya'qub ibn Ibrahim (Alayhis Salam), the foremost student of Imam Abu Hanifa and the first Qadi al-Qudat (Chief Justice) in Islamic history. He served under the Abbasid Caliph Harun al-Rashid and played a crucial role in establishing the Hanafi school as the official legal school of the Abbasid state. His Kitab al-Kharaj on taxation remains a foundational text in Islamic finance.
