Description of Book : ‘Amr ibn al-‘As (Arabic: عمرو بن العاص; c. 585 – 6 January 664) was an Arab military commander who is most noted for leading the Muslim conquest of Egypt in 640.
In the company of Khalid ibn al-Walid, he rode from Mecca to Medina where both of them converted to Islam in 629-30. ʻAmr was sent by the Caliph Abu Bakr with the Muslim Arab armies into Palestine. It is believed that he played an important role in the Arab conquest of that region, and he is known to have been at the battles of Ajnadayn and Yarmouk as well as the siege of Damascus.
Following the success over the Byzantines in Syria, Amr suggested to Umar that he march on Egypt, to which Umar agreed. The actual invasion began towards the end of 639, as Amr crossed the Sinai Peninsula with 3,500-4,000 men and he is known to have been at the of Battle of Nikiou, Battle of Heliopolis, and played an important role in the peace treaty in the ruins of a palace in Memphis. Needing a new capital, Amr suggested that they set up an administration in the large and well-equipped city of Alexandria, at the western edge of the Nile Delta.
