[86] Tabuk Part 1 - Rome Conquers Persia | Life of Prophet Muhammad | Sheikh Azhar Nasser

Rome continued to be Rome, practicing same policies even after becoming Christian and continuing war with Iran. They only became Christian to prevent an Iranian Christian alliance against them. After becoming Christian it became much harder for Iran to beat back Roman transgressions. Islam saved the day and the dilemma Iran was stuck in, defeating an enemy that was faking to be Christian. Rome cleverly had separated affairs of Church and State. The Bible bothe first and second are problematic, each compromised to serve other than God. And, God still not truly understood by Muslims. But, better than Jews and Christians. God Willing understanding will get better. Thanks.

The Persians do not lose Palestine, they give it back. The Persian Roman wars were continuous from previous Rome became Christian. Rome becoming Christian was fake, it was to make Iranians defenseless for the Iranians were original defenders of Christians. The fact that the king returned Jerusalem to Christians after having won it, shows the dilemma Iran was facing, a Roman enemy who had come to claim Christianity. Islam came after this, because Iranian unilateral return of Jerusalem to Christians caused royal court instability where no one could hold to power for long. The coming of Muslims resolved Iranian dilemma in regards to Jerusalem and Palestine. And, the Rome verse in the Quran is about a future event, when Rome comes back. The Renaissance and Western imperialism is exactly that. So, I think interpreting that verse of the Quran with a past event and saying it is about Persian defeat is wrong and customary.
