Khalid ibn al-Walid was a well-known Arab Muslim commander in the service of the Islamic prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the caliphs Abu Bakr (R.A) and Umar (R.A). Historians have reported different narrations on the date that Khalid b. Walid converted to Islam. In the year 6 AH or 8 AH Khalid embraced Islam in Muhammad’s presence alongside the Qurayshite Amr ibn al-As. However, according to a famous report, Khalid converted to Islam in the first of Safar 8 AH (c. 629)before the Conquest of Mecca.
