	Battle of Kadisiya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The battle of Qādisiyyah (Qadisiyya, Qadisiyyah, Kadisiya) was the decisive engagement between the Arab Muslim army and the Sāsānian Persian army during the first period of Islamic expansion which resulted in the Islamic conquest of Iran.
		Particularly, uncertainty with respect to the date of the battle (variously claimed to have occurred in 632, 634, 636, 637, and even 640) and the size of the forces, in addition to scarce mention in non-Muslim annals suggests that the current perception of al-Qādisiyyah differs from the original event.
		Rather, it highlights the significant function of history and memory in the modern Middle East; Saddām Husayn's evocation of this battle during the Iran-Iraq War exemplifies the emotive power of this ancient engagement.
