Chapter 36: Makkah
The Quraysh of Makkah broke the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah by attacking a tribe who were allies of the muslims.
Prophet (SAW) and 10,000 Sahabah marched from Medina to Makkah.
Rasulullah (SAW) pitched his tent outside of Makkah. He ordered the muslims to light fires outside of their tents.
Abbas (RA) met up with Abu Sufyan the leader of Makkah and when he saw all the fires in the dark night - he realised the great number of the Muslims.
Abu Sufyan came to Prophet (SAW) tent with Abbas (RA) - he accepted Islam and the Prophet (SAW) said - anyone who is in Abu Sufyan house will be protected.
The 10,000 strong muslim army entered Makkah peacefully - and headed towards the Kaaba.
Bilal (RA) was told to climb the Kaaba and give the Adhan.
The Prophet (SAW) entered the Kaaba and the idols inside it were removed and purified.
The House of Allah - the House rebuilt by Ibrahim (AS), was now back to the worship of One Allah by the hands of the messenger of Allah (SWT).
The Prophet (SAW) did not decide to remain in Makkah - He was to return to the Ansar - Makkah had returned to Islam but now Medina was the home of Prophet (SAW).Â
