HERE IS A COMPLETE ANSWER I WROTE ABOUT EXPANSION OF MUSLIM EMPIRE post comments and marks that i might be given if i write this
Hz umer continued the policy of expanding the muslim empire begun by Holy Prophet and hz abu bakr.A series of decisive battles were fought and won so the islamic state flourished.Hz umer led campaigns in iraq,syria and egypt.The iraq campaigns started with battle of marwa in 634 in which muslims were under command of abu ubaid bin thakeef and muthanna while persians were under command of rustam.Muslims also built a huge bridge of boats so this battle is also known as battle of bridge.However muslims got trapped when bridge broke and ubaid along with his kinsmen got killed but muthanna saved the day and muslims won.Battle of buwaib followed next year in 635 in which muslims were under command of muthanna who although injured inspired his men.Persians were 1200 under mehran hamadani.A battle was fought and muslims won.Next year in 636 battle of qadsiya took palce which was turning point in iraq campaign.Persians wanted to take revenge so they prepared a huge army.Hz umer decided to lead this campaign himself since Khalid bin waleed and abu ubaidah were in syria so saad bin abi waqas took command and invited yazgadh to islam who refused and battle was fought.Muslims although were 30000 against 60000 persians still managed to win after 3 months of long skirmishes and rustam was also killed.THEN campaigns were faught in syria which started with seige of damascus.Khalid bin waleed climbed into the city and attacked people who were waiting for reinforcements and occupied the whole city.Battle of fihl followed which resulted in addition of prince jordan to the islamic empire.Christians first tried to buy muslims with gifts and money but failed and attacked in numbers.Khalid bin waleed used clever strategy and muslims won.Next brief and succesful campaign was at hims.Next battle of yarmuk took place which was major event in syrian campaign.Heraclius was angered at defeat at fihl and hims so he prepared a large army.Khalid grouped muslims at yarmuk.romans tried to buy the muslims but failed and k.b.w invited them to islam but they refused and war began.Clever strategies and capabilities of muslim commanders paid off and muslims won after a decisive battle.Next was seige of jeruslam which was important because jews said they will only surrender if caliph himself came so umer went to jerusalem and negotiated with them.Victories at iraq opened gates for persia.Battle of nahawand was one of major battles in this conquest.Persians prepared a huge army while khalid bin waleed using same strategy as that of fihl led muslims to victory although muslims were 3 to 1 with persians.This battle lasted only one day.UMER himself didnt wanted to annex egypt but amr bin aas told him the strategic importance of region so he was sent and after seven month of long seige muslims won the well defended city.Despite these other battles were faught and won so islamic empire expanded rapidly
