These soldiers were armed with a bow, sword and sometimes a lance making them a versatile unit and they formed the main component of most medieval Islamic armies.They were similar to Eastern Roman or Byzantine Imperial Cataphracts and were often referred to Spahis or Ghazi. Ghazi translates to “Strive, Aspire, or Carry Out.” The related word Ghazawan “To carry out a military expedition” is derived from this root. -- source link
