<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 10379060, member: 8267&quot;]Muhammed is wielding a split tip sword, the &quot;zulfiqar&quot;. Some traditions say he acquired this magical sword at the battle of Uhud between the early Muslims and the Quraysh (the tribe that controlled Mecca before the rise of Islam), so this drawing may depict that battle. Mohammed later gifted the sword to Ali ibn Abi Talib (Mohammed&#039;s cousin, son-in-law, and first Shia Imam), and it became an important symbol of Ali&#039;s piety and strength. The zulfiqar was used as an emblem on Ottoman flags and remains a potent symbol, particularly among Shiite Muslims.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zulfiqar" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zulfiqar" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zulfiqar</a></p><p><a href="https://visihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alit.istanbul/one-of-topkapis-treasures-the-sword-of-zulfiqar" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://visihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alit.istanbul/one-of-topkapis-treasures-the-sword-of-zulfiqar" rel="nofollow">https://visihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alit.istanbul/one-of-topkapis-treasures-the-sword-of-zulfiqar</a></p><p><a href="https://abu-sayed.medium.com/zulfiqar-the-most-powerful-and-deadly-sword-in-the-history-of-the-world-c6b56dc2a59e" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://abu-sayed.medium.com/zulfiqar-the-most-powerful-and-deadly-sword-in-the-history-of-the-world-c6b56dc2a59e" rel="nofollow">https://abu-sayed.medium.com/zulfiqar-the-most-powerful-and-deadly-sword-in-the-history-of-the-world-c6b56dc2a59e</a></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Uhud" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Uhud" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Uhud</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
