Description

Following the decisive Muslim victory at the Battle of Qadisiyyah, the Muslim forces under Sayyiduna Hadrat Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (Radiyallahu Anhu) رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ marched on Ctesiphon (al-Mada'in), the Persian capital. The Sassanid Emperor Yazdgerd III fled, and the Muslims captured the White Palace and its legendary treasures. This marked the effective end of the Persian Sassanid Empire and the spread of Islam across Iran and Central Asia.
