[Majnun]

I've already said I think Ataturk was the greatest. Greatest Muslim generals in my opinion were:

1) Mustafa Kemal Ataturk
2) Khalid bin Walid (RA)
3) Salahuddin Ayyubi (RA)
4) Bayazid
5) Tariq bin Ziyad
6) Captain Ahsan Malik (Captain in 1971 War)
7) Ali (RA)
8) Babur

 

[asaad-ul-islam]

I don't think there's any doubt, Rasulallah (صلي الله عليه و سلم ) was the greatest of generals. the greatest known warriors among him would testify to that.

Ali (رضي الله عنهم ) said: 'When the war become hot and we met and faced the enemy, we shielded ourselves behind the Messenger of Allah (صلي الله عليه و سلم ) and there was no one who was closer to the enemy than he was'. (Ahmed)
Ali (رضي الله عنهم ) said: "When the battle used to become fierce and the eyes seemed to be coming out of the sockets, we were wont to look for the Prophet in order to find a refuge behind him. Then, we found noneclosing up with the enemy as the Prophet. This was how it happened in Badr; we were taking shelter behind the Prophet who was then going at the enemy more closely than anyone of us."

Al-Baraa ibn Aazib (رضي الله عنهم ) said: 'Wallahi, if the war become severe we would shield ourselves from the enemy, by getting behind the Prophet, and the brave one from amongst us was the one who would stand next to the Messenger of Allah'. (Muslim)

 

[asaad-ul-islam]

Ali (RA) would also be on the top of my list. No one can match him in greatness on the battlefield. He was known for being the ultimate warrior, especially after Khyber where he was given the standard of Islam.

Khalid bin Waleed(RA) would be the next one on my list. His name "Saifullah" or "Sword of Allah" pretty much says it all. Rasulullah valued his opinions and strategies, let alone his bravery and courage.

Other than people from among the Sahaba, I would pretty much recommend Salahuddin Ayubi. He was a charismatic leader who managed to unite everyone against the crusader threat.

Why ? The title of the thread is Good Muslim Generals not good Islamic Generals.

The progress in Turkey is thanks to their generals.

Most probably the best Islamic hence Muslim General was Khalid Ibn Walid (RA) a.k.a. SayfUllah. I am not going to argue or explain why because his legacy anwers for itself.

[salman nedian]

What about Tamerlane, Akbar and Babur

Mehmood Ghaznavi, Syed Ahmed Shaheed ,Babur and Aurangzeb Alamgir were also great warriors.

What i meant was in relation to the topic; 'Great Muslim Warriors'; not to the secular government of Turkey. There is no mention of Turkey in my comment so please read carefully before posting your comment.
