ud and came to attack Madinah with over 1,000 well-equipped warriorsaided by plenty of cavalry of horses and camels. The exalted Prophetdecided to meet them at a small oasis, Al-Badr, south of Madinah. The mere313 poorly equipped Muslims included the old and the young, most of thembeing foot soldiers. The "soldiers" were in fact civilians and their armourywas scant and clumsy. Within a few hours, the weak and out-numberedMuslims stunned the mighty enemy and won the battle decisively. Most ofthe powerful leaders of Makkah were slain. Muslims treated the captiveswith great care and kindness. They were fed and dressed better than thevictors. Many of them accepted Islam. The rest were very soon set free togo back to their hometown.THE BATTLE OF UHUD: Shortly after Badr, the people of Makkah raidedMadinah with a much bigger army of 3,000 in 626 CE. The Battle took placejust outside Madinah. Uhud, still standing, is the name of the famousmountain where the two forces met. The Muslims were greatlyoutnumbered, only 700, and under-equipped. Yet they were about toachieve another swift victory. Seeing this, 50 archers left their positionsrather prematurely and there was a temporary setback for Muslims whenthe fleeing Makkans returned and counter-attacked. Finally, with nearlyequal amount of casualties on both sides, the Makkans turned back.THE BATTLE OF AL-AHZAAB (CLANS): In 627 CE, the Quraysh Tribe ofMakkah amassed 24,000 strong troops. This force included Jews andseveral tribes and clans from Madinah and suburbs, the groups that hadbroken peace treaties with Muslims. After due consultation with hiscompanions, the Prophet (S) decided to meet the enemy outside of thetown. Women that were unfit for combat were secured in a guarded fortalong with children. While the enemy laid siege around the Muslim army ofabout 2,000 for 25 days, the Muslims remained vigilant and resorted topatient waiting. The sandstorm season was fast approaching and soon theweather became very hostile with storm winds uprooting the enemy tentsand overturning their utensils, water tanks and fire-places. The enemy gotdemoralized, packed up their tents, lifted the seige and turned back. Thetraitors of Madinah and the tribes around who had violated the peacetreaties were exiled. Madinah was never again attacked!THE CHAPTER ULTIMATE 07 VICTORYHUDAIBIYAH:70
In the 6th year of Hijrah (June 628 CE), a truce was signed between theMuslims of Madinah and the non-believers of Makkah. This truce was calledthe Treaty of Hudaibiyah. Although the treaty, in detail, was apparentlyunfavorable for the Muslims, the exalted Prophet accepted it. This truceproved to be a blessing for Muslims and Islam. The people of Makkah andMadinah started meeting freely. Everyone could see and experience thetruth and beauty of Islam established as a System of Life. More and morepeople kept embracing Islam.AMBASSADORS:The Magians of Persia and Christians of Byzantium (the Eastern RomanEmpire) were oppressed by their rulers. They constantly requested theblessed State of Madinah to help liberate them. The Quran says thatMuhammad, the exalted is "A Mercy for the Worlds." Therefore, hismessage is for all times and all people. Seizing advantage of the relativepeace, the Prophet (S) invited kings and rulers of that time to accept Islam.He sent special ambassadors with brief yet effective letters.Kisra, (Khusro Parwaiz) the Magian King of Persia, was the most powerfulemperor of the time. He became enraged and tore the sacred invitationapart. The letter from the Prophet contained a touchy quotation, "Mendyour ways of tyranny. Learn about Islamic justice before the plight of yourown people befalls you." The Prophet, with his God-given insight, predictedthat Khusro's Empire would tear apart just as he tore apart the letter. Soon,the prediction came to pass as we shall see in a chapter to follow.Heraclius, the Christian Emperor of Byzantium was very inclined to acceptthe blessed invitation. Unfortunately, his courtiers threatened to rebel if theKing chose Islam. Even then, Heraclius could not hold back his emotionsof reverence. With tears in his eyes he said, "If I were to meet with theProphet, I would wash his feet with my own hands."Muqooqus, the pagan ruler of Egypt, received the Islamic ambassador withgreat hospitality. He went into deep thought and deferred his decision. Thereports of his sending two concubines to the exalted Prophet are obviouslyfabricated. Everyone knew that he was emancipating slaves in the State ofMadinah. The King of Abyssinia/Ethiopia, Najashi (Negus), alreadyimpressed with the Muslim immigrants, upon hearing some verses of theQuran, burst into tears and entered the blessed fold of Islam.THE CONQUEST OF MAKKAH JAN 630 CE, RAMADHAN AH 8:During theprevious 2 years of relative peace, Quraysh, the pagans ofMakkah, were closely watching the long strides Islam was making.
