THE CONQUEST OF MAKKAH (Ramadaan 8 AH ‐ corresponding to January 630 AD)
Approximately eight years ago RasoolAllah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) was forced to leave Makkah, the city of his birth. 8 AH however, proved to be the year in which he re‐entered Makkah complete with the glory of an exceptional victor.
There is a possibility of the question arising in the minds of the readers that if the Treaty of Hudaibiyah had stated that there shall be no fighting between the Muslims and Kuffaar, why then did RasoolAllah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), just two years after this, enter Makkah armed with an army?
The answer to this is simple: it was not the treachery and unfaithfulness of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), but of the Kuffaar of Makkah to the Treaty which caused RasoolAllah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) to prepare an army to enter the city.
