Awesome maps!

Do you have the original shapefiles? Would love to see on mapstory.org Emmoel02 (talk) 17:56, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Excellent maps but their scale is off.

It is about fifty miles from the Mediterranean to the Dead Sea, and about three-hundred and forty from Alexandria to the Turkish coast.66.227.183.147 (talk) 16:33, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Excellent maps of early Islamic campaigns

What it says. This information isn't easy to find in map form, and I own dozens of historical atlases. Thanks, Mohammed Adil :)

A.O.A Adil Bhai

I have done some work on Battle of Jalula but its only 70% complete.I was thinking that u should take a look of it,it seems incomplete waiting for your reply.......MOHKUM
A.o.A again Bhai,i have been doing some paper work regarding Jalula and have come down to the assumption that it was not a key battle rather than it was the destruction of remaining elements from Qadisiya and the troops that were in the Persian capital and had retreated to the strategically important junction of jalula in last desperate effort to halt Muslim advance,as jalula was like a bottle neck to Northern Persia.That is why i thought that there is no need to give a detailed background for this battle i.e from Abubakr(RA) to Jalula rather i think i should start directly after Qadisiya as the article written on Qadisiya gives such a perfect scenario of both the politics & weapons of both the sides.So i think we should start the article by explaining the importance of Jalula and then the maneuvers and stuff.I have downloaded inkscape and InshaALlah will start to draw maps in no time.I have also done some paper work on Nihawand but as my send-up exams are just around the corner i wont be able to get on the net.But i will work on it on paper.I will try to contribute as per my ability.One thing more i think we should also try to write about Hazrat Zarrar Bin Al-Azwar and Qaqa Bin Amr (may Allah be please with both of them)as they were foremost Cavalry commanders for the Muslims.My regards and though its late but Happy Eid.MOHKUM
A.o.A bhai......i have written a rough manuscript about battle of Jalula just wanted u to take a look so that u can point out whats missing.I will draw the maps within a weak or so.I just wanted u to do me a favor and draw a map showing strategical importance of Jalula.my regards againMOHKUM--MOHKUM SHABBIR (talk) 13:08, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

A.o.A bhai,just wanted to thank u for the help,support and guidelines u have given me,may Allah give the ample reward for it and again my heartiest gratitude for your help .........Jalula could not have possibly completed without your assistance.But bad news for you is that i aint gonna stop writing bad articles and good news for me is that you would always be there for converting bad articles into good ones!!!!!!.Ok on a more serious note so any future work for me that you have in ur mind.Waitin' 4 ur reply --MOHKUM SHABBIR (talk) 09:54, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Assalamaalaikum bhai........yeah i know its been a long time but im back....i was wondering that whether you are still interested in nihawand cause i'd start writing the manuscript for it......as my BOARD examinations are over so i thought lets start some healthy activity................one thing more i was hoping that we both start to write something about wars of 65,71 or 99 conflict with India because the articles covering these wars are biased.....so please let me know --MOHKUM SHABBIR (talk) 07:00, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Ok back again.......I am very glad to tell you that with Allah's help and mercy i have been selected for PMA Kakul for 126 PMA long course...so that can explain my absence..........now i am actaully FREE as my childhood ambition has been fulfilled please give me a task on which Battle should i start to write?

--MOHKUM SHABBIR (talk) 18:23, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Assalamoliakum Bhai.....I have just got my hand onto a good article about Battle of Nihawand ........please makie me another sand box for Nihawand.....i will try my best to write Nihawand as i tried with Jalula....My regards and yes thank you for considering me a "Warrior" Inshallah i wont let this claim of yours down......ok Allah Hafiz and please make me another sandbox apart from Jalula......waitng for your reply MOHKUM --MOHKUM SHABBIR (talk) 11:18, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Quick question in re: signatures

I've noticed alot on user pages that some wikipedians have alternate formatting on their signatures, Curiously. I'm not sure whether this is a simple inline edit with HTML or a more complex procedure. Is it simply a string that users have copied to their clipboard and use to sign posts? Thanks! Oh and I'll give it a shot here. ¦petiatil^»speak¦ 08:19, 3 January, 2010 (UTC)

Battle of yarmouk (french page): Request for information

On the French page something is mentioned about the Ghassanides, the Christian Arabs. It is written there that the Ghassanides defected to the Muslim side because they hadn't received payment for several months and the Muslims promised to pay their salaries. No source is mentioned.

Byzantine-Sassanid War of 602-628

Thanks for your comments and for the barnstar. Looking at your profile, it seems that you make maps. If you have access to the book, would it be possible for you to create the maps in Walter Kaegi's Heraclius Emperor of Byzantium that are relevant to my article? For reference they are on pgs. 20, 66, 123, 157, 164, 193. I only ask because I personally have no idea how to make those high quality graphics. Thanks. DemonicInfluence (talk) 18:28, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I have sent you the email with the maps I mentioned. Sorry for the offensive name I picked, those were my from my younger days. Thanks for helping me on this project. If any of the images are unclear, please ask me. I won't respond to the email I sent the images from. DemonicInfluence (talk) 03:28, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Battle of Yarmouk

Hey there Mohammad!

I'm considering reviewing the Battle of Yarmouk for GA. First though I'll read the article, possibly copy-edit, then present a normal review or a GA one. I'm a little hesitant to do the latter, because I've only done one GA review before. Thought I'd let you know. --Sherif9282 (talk) 18:08, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Here it is mentioned that Emessa was captured by Khalid in 637 CE, although the Battle of Yarmouk states Khalid had been replaced by Ubaidah. Was Ubaidah instated as a superior commander to Khalid for example? --Sherif9282 (talk) 15:48, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Then it should be mentioned in the article; somewhere along the lines of: Khalid was replaced by Ubaidah as overall commander, although the former still functioned as field commander. --Sherif9282 (talk) 16:17, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

In the Prelude section, it is stated Though previous campaigns led by Khalid were successful, he was replaced by Abu Ubaidah. No mention is made of Khalid being retained as a commander. Currently it is implied that Khalid was removed from command altogether. --Sherif9282 (talk) 16:23, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes it is mentioned in the section on the Rashidun Army, although it does not mention when. I think it is more appropriate and better for the reader if that piece of information is mentioned in the Prelude, since that section deals with with the capture of Emessa. --Sherif9282 (talk) 17:39, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

You know what, if you'd like to implement any changes please do so. I think I'll take note of any issues with the article and present them all at once during the review. (if I will make a review; don't hang any expectations on me!) Regards. --Sherif9282 (talk) 21:15, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

The article makes mention of one Jabla. Is this one and the same as Jabalah ibn al-Aiham? If not, you should clarify who this other Jabla is, and what role did he play in the battle. --Sherif9282 (talk) 15:29, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Alright... There is also mention of Jabalah ibn Abi Laham. Same person as well? BTW I've copy-edited up to day 1 of the battle; I've shaved around 1,500 bytes from the article. Tell me what you think when you have time. --Sherif9282 (talk) 17:04, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Quetta

I see that you presented yourself as an Urdu-speaker on your personal page (perhaps you're a Punjabi). You blindly reverted my NPOV edits, please do not start edit-war with me. I provided sources to my edits so please try not to revert again without a discussion. I'm Pashtun originally from the Quetta area that's the reason I got involved with editing that article. The article lacks sources, it will be a good idea to source everything. Your version has ridiculous claims like "According to non-government sources the population along with Afghan immigrants is between 14,00000-16,00000" and there is no reliable source provided for this. All the sources are junks and that's why I removed them.--119.73.11.106 (talk) 21:25, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Monument of battle of yarmouk-mohammad adil.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Monument of battle of yarmouk-mohammad adil.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [3], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

• state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
• add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Byzantine flag

Hello Mohammad! I removed that flag from several articles, because it is not really the "Flag of the Byzantine Empire": the double-headed eagle was not used as an emblem until the 11th century (and is securely attested only after ca. 1320), in addition it was never featured in flags (as far as we know) but only on clothes etc, and never used on a yellow background but always deep red/purple. This flag is a modern design (late 19th century) connected with the rise of Greek nationalism and irredentism. It is the current flag of the Greek Orthodox Church, but in no way is it a true Byzantine design, despite what many people think. I have written on the issue in Byzantine heraldry article. In short, the only truly attested Byzantine flag is this. Best regards, Constantine ✍ 16:16, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Well, the short answer is, there was no "Byzantine flag" in the 7th century, at least not in the sense we speak of flags today. Byzantium used a variety of banners and signa, but no single design was used as a "national" flag. If you want a representative symbol, I'd suggest using a Chi-Rho (for example this or this).

Battle of Yarmouk Sources

!السلام عليكم Just wanted to comment directly to you, Mohammad, as you seem to have a clear dedication to the Battle of Yarmouk page. I am not trying to trample on the great work that has been done there, I'm just trying to suggest that there are some definite issues with some of the sources relied upon. I believe that the Islamic sources that make up the overall conquest narrative should definitely be included as the basis of the article, I'm just hesitant to rely so heavily on al-Tabari. Specifically, it's that we know for a fact that at least SOME of his reports regarding the battle are fabricated by the very fact that he presents such a wrong date for it.

I hope that the summer months will give me some of an opportunity to work on the article myself rather than just make suggestions, but the graduate life is an arduous one (as you may or may not be able to relate!). Riskbreaker2987 (talk) 23:50, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

I disagree with you, Mohammad, because of the sources that are used; namely Akram, who relies heavily on al-Tabari (even though, for the record, his citations are AWFUL. They definitely show the date in which he was writing). There is also more than just "a page" that exists within al-Tabari's Tarikh, but I'm certainly not interested in arguing symantecs. In looking at the references, though, almost all of the citations are from modern sources (especially Akram), some of which are of debatable scholarship. I'm just trying to urge awareness that the narrative isn't at all clear on details as the works of Akram and Nicolle suggest they are.

Again, thank you for the dialogue, though. On another note, is there a reason that Ibn Ishaq is listed? I asked that originally, and never got a response.

Lastly, regarding the link that you posted on the talk page, I'd like to mention that the author of that book, Robert Hoyland, is actually my Ph.D. supervisor. ;-) Riskbreaker2987 (talk) 17:52, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Re: Battle of Yarmouk

The discussion we had actually agreed on the low quality of the article and a special focus on the misrepresentation of the number of forces involved. Agreement was reached in favour of the opinion numbers given were too high, only your tireless reverting back of edits by others has made that your one-sided view of the battle has persisted.

You have clearly shown to lack understanding of historical research, but your antisocial behaviour has caused you to gain the upper hand, editing endlessly while others did not have as much time as you did. I currently have no time to make wikipedia articles and edits, yet every once in a while I hope to revive discussion on the Yarmouk and related pages and get a decent article started.

Sadly you consider yourself the owner of the Yarmouk article and will remove any edits out of line of your fantastic ideas on what happened at Yarmouk. That's how it has been for a couple of years now. Wiki1609 (talk) 22:51, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Morning view of Quetta-mohammad adil rais.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

Battle of Lahore

Another user expressed concern with some of your edits regarding this article and I'm curious why you consider this battle in particular to be a Pakistani Military Victory. For one, the provided citations (namely [4] and [5]) indicate that Pakistan was decisively defeated in this war and that "Indian forces outfought their Pakistani counterparts and halted their attack on the outskirts of Lahore". The source does not claim that Pakistani forces repelled the Indian attack but instead it claims that by the time the United Nations intervened on September 22nd, Pakistan had suffered a clear defeat. I feel that the claims made by the Pakistani military are irrelevant and do not come from a neutral source. As such, I just wanted to let you know that I am modifying this article.

Pakistan

I recently came across your edits on Pakistan, and all those edits of your are literally pointless and is to be considered vandalism, if you cannot play a positive part in further improving the article, please do not remove key edits of other users. And don't edit just for the sake of increasing your edit counts. Pakistan article needs more elaboration instead of removal of sections and lame edits. Please refrain from such edits, repeated vandalism will put your account in jeopardy. Regards! SyedMANaqvi (talk) 15:22, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

I reverted your reversion of the correction of a number of mistakes in English grammar and other edits by a number of editors. Unless an English grammar error was made originally by a source and is being reproduced, anyone can correct it. If there was something in the whole set of changes you reverted along with the grammar errors, then there's a process where you can work that out with the other editors. 72.228.177.92 (talk) 16:43, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

All of Spain, Portugal, and Italy preferred Mohammedian's understandings of how to live in peace.

March Madness 2017

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Excellent map work re Khalid's Invasion of Iraq - Two questions...

Mohammad -

I really like your maps. I have been doing research on the Battle of the River and have been trying to pinpoint where that battle may have occurred. I have read Khalid Bin Al-waleed: Sword of Allah but remain unclear. I have two questions for you if you would be so kind: 1) Where is the ancient city of Mazar located? Akram speaks of Mazar and refers to it in his time as Azeir. I cannot find any modern remnant if either. Can you provide any incite? 2) Can you provide and incite on the location of the Battle of the River?

Thank you for your assistance. I am VFF0347 (talk) 18:35, 2 May 2017 (UTC)VFF0347

I have been trying to pinpoint the location of the Battle of the River. My primary reference has been Akram's Khalid Bin Al-waleed: Sword of Allah. Can you provide any incite to the modern day location of the city of Mazar (Azeir) and/or the modern day location of the Battle of the River? Thanks so much!

Ridda Wars

This section, added by you in 2009, has been removed from the Ridda Wars article, section on campaign of apostasy. Do you know the original source?

Apart from their specific objectives, the corps commanders were given the following instructions:

	+	
	+	

a. Seek the tribes which are your objectives

	+	

b. Call the Azaan.

	+	

c. If the tribe answers with the Azaan, do not attack. After the Azaan, ask the tribe to confirm its submission, including the payment of taxes. If confirmed, do not attack.

	+	

d. Those who submit will not be molested.

	+	

e. Those who do not answer with the Azaan, or after the Azaan do not confirm full submission, will be dealt with by fire and sword.

	+	

f. All apostates who have killed Muslims will be killed, those who have burnt Muslims alive will be burnt alive.

	+	
	+	

With these instructions Abu Bakr launched the forces of Islam against the apostates.
