The Al-Futouh movement and the wars of Arab liberation are part of the general plan of the Arab Islamic state that aims to liberate the Arab nation from foreign domination, represented in the Sassanid and Byzantine countries, then work to spread Islam between the various Arab tribes that inhabit outside the Arabian Peninsula. This policy was practically embodied after the city was able to extend its influence over the rest of the island and the Muslim Arabs restored their political and religious unity. The new conditions that emerged after the elimination of the apostasy movement forced Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (Rada) to engage the Islamic Arab Army in fighting and go to jihad in The path of God and to his word as promised by the Muslims on the day they pledged allegiance to him as well as in implementation of the Arab desire for love for soldiers is a fighter of a special type who does not know to give him limits and that the desert for him is a sophisticated fighting school that brought out many leaders and fighters who played a role in the Arab liberation movement. The Arab liberation movement started after the liquidation of the apostasy movements, as Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq (Rad) wrote to Khalid bin Al-Walid ordering him to go to Iraq to liberate him, and he ordered him to begin the release of Sindh and India, which is the camel and prepare what he needs of the fighters. Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) also saved the Arab Islamic armies to the north after he wrote to the people of Mecca, Taif, Yemen, and all the Arabs in Najd and Al-Hejaz, invoking them for jihad, and their righteousness in it and in the spoils of the Romans. He became the first companion of one of the companions at the time, and assigned to each commander a district he named for him to liberate, as he set his way to the Levant.
