Q1. What were the measures taken against those who refused to pay zakat during the

caliphate of Hazrat Abu Bakr R.A (03)

Q2. Briefly describe the battle fought against Persians during the reign of Hazrat Abu Bakr
R.A? (05)
Ans1Sayyiduna Abu Bakr R.A now sent Sayyiduna Usamah radi Allahu anhu
on the expedition to Syria to fight the Romans, even though he had to
attend to all the internal problems of the Islamic State.The news that Holy
prophet( P.B.U.H)had passed away, made some new Muslims think that the
Islamic State would crumble and they refused to pay the Zakaah. These
new Muslims could not yet get used to their faith and its requirements until
then. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu declared, "By Allah! Even if
asingle thread is due from a man, he must give it. If he refuses, I will declare
war against him."
Ans2 In the first month of the year 12 A.H., Khalid bin Walid was sent with an
army to challenge the might of Iran. Another army under Qaqaa bin Amr
was to reinforce him. Khalid was to attack Kamla, the southern outpost of
the Iranian empire. A second army, under Ayaz bin Ghanam, was to strike at
the norther boundary of Iraq.

According to the Islamic practice, Khalid addressed the following letter to

Hurmuz, the Iranian Commander: "Accept Islam and you will be safe. If not,
agree to pay the jizya or you will have to repent. I am bringing against you a
people who love death as you love life."

The proud Iranian Commander paid no heed to the warning and was slain in the
battle that followed. The Iranian army was utterly routed. After that many well
known commander came to fight like BAhman and jahan, they were also
defeated. Iran loses were heavy. Hira, on the Iranian border, we the stronghold
of the Christian Arabs. They had so far fought on the Iranian side. Khalid
conquered Hira. Soon after, the other frontier chiefs also submitted to Khalid.

After Hira, Khalid conquered Anbar and Ain-ut-Tamr, two important outposts
of the Iranian empire. He now received a letter from Ayaz, calling him to his
help in North Iraq. Ayaz was hard pressed at Dumat-ul-Jundal. Khalid rushed to
his help and sent the following message to Ayaz:

"Wait for a while. Camels carrying fierce lions are shortly reaching. Wave after
wave of troops are on their way."

One of the enemy generals, Akidar, knew from his own experience how
impossible it was to halt Khalid's attack. He advised the other generals to stop
fighting against the Muslims. When the advice went unheeded, he quietly left.
His friends saw the truth of his remarks when they met humiliating engagement
took place at Faraz. A huge force made of Iranians and Arabs crosed the
Euphrates. On the 15th of Dhul-Qaad, 12 A.H., Khalid routed this host at Faraz.
From here he went back to Hira.
