Best Answer

Both had well thought out strategies and military tactics, and large effective armies and fleets.

Both relied on amalgamating separate forces. Both had large Greek components to their armies and navies, the Macedonians who were Greek, led a unified Greek army and the Persians paid Greek mercenaries.

So because of what they said, Allah (God) rewarded them ...."
