Al-Ala al-Hadrami (Persia, 638) — He Defied Caliph Umar… Then Two Armies Disappeared

In 638 AD, Al-Ala al-Hadrami ignored Umar Ibn Khattab’s direct order and launched a forbidden invasion of Fars, Persia. Two military columns were destroyed, a third was trapped against the coast, and the Caliph was forced to rescue the survivors from a war he had forbidden. This dark Islamic military history documentary exposes the failed Rashidun campaign, Shaharak’s Sassanid counterattack, and the forgotten soldiers who paid for one governor’s ambition.
