And it was the sassanid Persian dynasty on the east. And so after these powers, attacked the Arabian Peninsula, the new Muslim state, Muslims responded to this, and they defeated them. And so the first movement out was actually people defending the word of Allah and protecting the peninsula from this massive invasion.
