Muslim military operations

Muslim military operations historically refer to military campaigns and strategies employed by Islamic states and leaders since the 7th century. These operations often aimed at expanding territory, spreading Islam, or defending against invasions. Key examples include the early conquests under the Rashidun and Umayyad Caliphates, which facilitated the rapid spread of Islam across the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Europe and Asia. Islamic military strategies frequently emphasized mobility, cavalry use, and integration of diverse forces, combining religious motivation with tactical innovation to achieve their objectives. Over time, these operations influenced military practices across different cultures.
