History of National Khalid Day

Khalid is an Arabic male name, meaning ‘everlasting,’ ‘eternal,’ or ‘immortal.’ It is used as both a first name and a last name. Other variations include Halid (Bosnian), Xalid (Kurdish), and Halit (Turkish).

One notable figure in Islam who bore the name ‘Khalid’ is Khalid Ibn Al-Walid. Also known as the ‘Sword of God,’ Khalid is regarded as one of the most important military leaders of Islam. He served as a military commander in the service of Prophet Muhammad, caliph Abu Bakr, and caliph Umar. He played significant roles in the Ridda wars against rebel tribes in Arabia, as well as the early conquests of Sasanian Iraq between 633 and 634 and Byzantine Syria between 634 and 638. Though Al-Walid started out as a commander of troops on the opposing side of a battle between ancient Meccans and Muslims, he converted to Islam after signing a treaty to secure peace with the Muslims. He then used his military expertise in support of the Islamic state. Another notable individual was Khalid bin ‘Abd al-‘Aziz Al Sa’ud, best known as Khalid of Saudi Arabia, who ruled as King of Saudi Arabia from March 25, 1975, up until his death on June 13, 1982. Before his ascension, he had been Crown Prince of the kingdom for almost ten years.
