The Roman East has fallen, but a new, invisible enemy has emerged from the dust. After shattering the Byzantine legions at Yarmouk and liberating Jerusalem, the Rashidun army faced its most devastating trial—not on the battlefield, but in the tents. The Plague of Amwas struck with apocalyptic ferocity, claiming the lives of nearly 25,000 believers and systematically "decapitating" the Islamic military leadership. In this episode, we witness the heartbreaking final moments of the Supreme Commander, Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah, and his successor, Mu'adh ibn Jabal. As the northern front teetered on the brink of total annihilation, a veteran tactician, Amr ibn al-Aas, realized that conventional warfare was useless. He implemented a radical mountain quarantine strategy that would alter the course of medical and military history. 📺 WATCH SEASON 2 PREVIOUS EPISODES: S2E1 - S2E7 (Compilation): [   • Khalid ibn al-Walid Epic Conquest of Roman...  ] S2E8 - S2E15 (Compilation): [   • How Khalid ibn al-Walid Defeated the Easte...  ] S2E16 (The Battle of Yarmouk - Mega Episode): [   • Battle of Yarmouk - When Rome Send Everyth...  ] S2E17 (Aftermath of Yarmouk): [   • How Khalid ibn al-Walid Destroyed the Last...  ] S2E18 (Fall of Antioch): [   • Khalid ibn al-Walid Conquest of Roman Capi...  ] S2E19 (Conquest of Jerusalem): [   • How Umar ibn al-Khattab Conquered Jerusale...  ] 📺 WATCH SEASON 1 (The Iraq Campaign): [   • Khalid ibn al-Walid Iraq Campaign (All Bat...  ] #khalidibnalwalid #rashiduncaliphate #historydocumentary #islamichistory #AmwasPlague #militarystrategy #umaribnkhattab #middleeasthistory #historicwarlens #Abuubaidah #islam #islamic #islamicvideo #history
