Egypt's conquest:
Abu Dharr reported that the Messenger of Allah (saas) said: "You will soon conquer Egypt, and that is a land in which the qirat 67 is named. So when you conquer it, treat its inhabitants well." 68 When he announced this good news, Egypt was still governed by the Byzantines. In addition, the Muslims were not yet very strong. But this prediction came true during Umar's (ra) caliphate, when Amr ibn al-As conquered it in 641.69
Conquering the lands held by Byzantium and Persia
"Khosrow will die and there will be no Khosrow after him. Caesar will die and there will be no Caesar after him, but you will distribute their treasures in the way of Allah." 70
Kisra was the word used for the ancient Persian kings, and Qaysar was the designation of the Byzantine emperor. When our Prophet (saas) announced this good news, the Muslims were not in a position, as regards their military strength and economic and political organization, to achieve such a major victory. Besides, at that time, Persia and Byzantium were the region's strongest states. However, during Umar's (ca) caliphate, Byzantine was defeated and no other Kisra emerged.
Before the death of Heraclius, the Caesar of the time, in 641, his treasury passed into Muslims' hands as the Muslim armies began to conquer Byzantium's major centers during the reigns of the four rightly guided caliphs. For example, under Abu Bakr (ra), Jordan, Palestine, Damascus, Jerusalem, Syria, Egypt, and other lands were taken.
In 1453, the Ottoman sultan Fatih Sultan Mehmet (Mehmed the Conqueror) conquered Constantinople and, following Byzantium's fall, the title of Qaysar was no longer used. Thus, the Prophet's (saas) predictions turned out to be true.
