Gazaawatname is the word produced combining the Arabic gazwa with the Persian naama, a general term for works where wars fought against enemies are narrated. Gazaawat is the plural form of gaza. Gazaanamas tell a single war, while in gazaawatnaama, wars and series of attacks are mentioned. These works are considered an important resource for history researchers as they tell events belonging to a particular period of time in detail. The tradition of gazaawatnaama begins in the Turkish literature in the 15th century and develops dramatically in the 16th century. Gazaawat al Khalid ibn al-Walid covers the subjects regarding the holy wars of Hadrat Khalid ibn al-Walid during Hadrat Omar and the conquest of the Persian region of the Muslim armies under the command of other Ashab al- Kiram. While the work bears the linguistic features of the 17th century, it also contains archaic elements from Old Anatolian Turkish.
