Abstract

So far, many books have been written about early muslim wars in Africa. These books have a few similarities: All the books have been annalistically. Most of the writers have not considered socio-economic reasons and motives of these wars and their ideological backgrounds. In these books there isn’t anything about war in Abyssinia and Sudan, and muslims’ failure there is described obscurely.
In this article, it has been tried to study the muslims’ victory in Egypt and its failure in Abyssinia and Sudan on the basis of unconsidered reasons, motives and backgrounds.
