**Why was the Battle of Nahavand remembered as the "Victory of Victories"?**
In 642 CE, the Muslims faced the Sasanian Empire in what became its last great military stand. Despite the martyrdom of their commander, **An-Nu'man ibn Muqarrin (RA)**, the Muslim army prevailed. The defeat shattered the last major organized Sasanian resistance, and later Muslim historians called this battle **Fath al-Futuh**—the **Victory of Victories**—because it opened the Persian heartland and marked a decisive turning point in history.
