The final battle against the Persian Empire during the reign of Hazrat Umar (R.A) was fought at which location?

Explanation

The Battle of Nihawand, fought in 642 CE (21 AH), was the last major confrontation between the Muslim forces and the Sassanid Persian Empire during the caliphate of Hazrat Umar (R.A.). After this decisive Muslim victory, the Persian Empire effectively collapsed, and the Muslims gained complete control over Persia. The battle is often referred to as the "Victory of Victories" (Fath al-Futuh) due to its significance in ending Persian resistance.

Good to know

Before Nihawand, the Muslims had already defeated the Persians at the Battle of Qadisiya (636 CE), which opened the way into Iraq. The Battle of Yarmouk (636 CE) was fought against the Byzantine Empire, not the Persians. After Nihawand, the last Sassanid emperor Yazdegerd III fled eastward and was eventually killed, marking the complete end of the Sassanid dynasty.
