As its title, "The Conquests of the Lands," suggests, this book deals with a specific aspect of biography and history. It examines the battles and conquests that resulted in new territories coming under the just rule of Islam. The author details the stories of conquest for over fifty locations, including Egypt, the Levant, the Maghreb, Tripoli, Nahavand, and Sindh. The book concludes with a discussion on the rulings concerning tribute lands (Kharaj) according to scholars, particularly the Hanafis, and covers topics such as stipends during the caliphate of Umar, as well as historical accounts and hadiths related to seals, currency, and calligraphy. Throughout the work, the author narrates events with their chains of transmission back to the original narrators and traces hadiths back to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
