Egypt's allegiance to the strongest
The article discusses the history of the Muslim conquest of Egypt in 640 AD, explaining that the period of Arab rule did not exceed thirty years. It begins with the call of Prophet Muhammad, followed by the establishment of the Islamic state in Medina, and continued under the leadership of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. The article highlights that the struggle over Egypt was part of the conflicts between the Persians and Byzantines, noting that the Persians managed to take control of Egypt, only to lose it to Byzantium after about ten years, leading to the Byzantine Empire regaining its rule. It clarifies that the seventh century saw the decline of both empires’ powers and the rise of Arab strength, which expanded its influence from the East to the West — with Muslims ruling the Iberian Peninsula from 711 AD, and their civilization lasting for nearly eight centuries. The article also emphasizes that control over Egypt has always depended on the strength of its rulers; the loss of power leads to weakness and occupation. This pattern has repeated throughout history, from Persian invasions to British occupation.
