<br />Dears,
I think the area came under muslims during the period of Hazrat Umar Bin Khattaab Raziallah Ta'ala was enormous.
Do these FATAHs (of FAROOQ THE GREAT Raziallah) total to a greater figure than the area conqured by ALEXENDER THE GREAT.
Have anybody such calculation.
An analysis may conclude that FAROOQ THE GREAT Raziallah Ta'ala was a greater conquerer than ALEXENDER THE GREAT. This is only the FARANGGIES media which makes ALEXENDER the biggest conqurer of the history.
I would appreciate, if some one can give data on this.
Best regards,
Kamran.

I think the area brought under by Alexander was less in area compared to that of Hazrat Umar, see below links of maps which roughly gives an idea
Caliphate under Hazrat Umar
http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ImageRashidmap.gif
Hazrat Umar was assasinated in 641, the caliphate extended from the Arabian penisula in the south, Armenia/Bukhara in North, Half of present day Iran in the East and upto part of Present day Libya in the West.
Alexander's conquest
http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ImageMacedonEmpire.jpg
Alexander's kingdom included Macedonia(part of Modern Greece)and Egyptin the west,Turkey as the Northern most,Iran and present day Pakistan in the East.
The areas missing from Alexander's kingdom were ofcourse the whole of Arabian peninsula, Armenia and Samarkand/Bukhara. The only area not included in the Caliphate was ocfourse Macedonia/Greece, which is not all that big in area.
There is a major difference though, Alexander never actually ruled these territories, most of these continued to pay taxes to the Greek king and there was never a 'real state' in the modern meaning.
On the other hand the Caliphate was pretty much the modern state and was effectively ruled as one country under the Caliphate.
