He is the second Caliph (ruler) of Muslims according to Sunni Muslims and is an illegitimate ruler who got power according to Shia Muslims. according to Shia Muslims only God has the right to select a Caliph. one of his actions was attacking to Iran. according to Shia Muslims this action of him was not an Islamic action because many of Iranians had been converted to Islam before this attack specially by the Persian companions of Messenger of God Muhammad SAWW like Salman the Persian and other companions and there was no need for this war.
