History
In Islamic tradition, it is known for the Battle of Mu'tah in 629 CE, the first military engagement between the Arab Muslims and the Byzantine Empire. Mausolea were built nearby for some of those fallen in said battle, namely Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, 'Abd Allah ibn Rawahah, and Zayd ibn Harithah.[5][6]
gollark: If you do want to do this sort of thing I would probably recommend python, because I arbitrarily like it.
gollark: https://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki is what I use now, it's a selfhosted open source wiki with decent plugin support.
gollark: https://tiddlywiki.com/ is neat, https://github.com/athensresearch/athens/ could be good but is very experimental, https://obsidian.md/ is not open source but apparently runs on a directory of local markdown files so you don't have lockin issues, https://github.com/logseq/logseq apparently exists but I've never used it and it has a closed source backend, https://foambubble.github.io/foam/ is nice if you like VSCode.
gollark: There's lots of interesting ongoing development with graph-structured notes applications and such.
gollark: It has search and stuff.
