The Prophet(S), by the suggestion of Salman al Farsi, dug trenches around Madinah to stop their advance. The enemy besieged Madinah for 27 days after, which distrust and dispute dissolved the alliance and they all left. Hajj is made obligatory. The Prophet(S) and his companions intended to perform Umrah. The Quraish prevented them from entering Makkah and a stando between the Quraish and the Muslims ensued. During this stando , the Prophet(S) sent Uthman (R.A) as a messenger on behalf of the Muslims to the Quraish. The Muslims were wrongly informed that Uthman (R.A) was martyred by the Quraish. The Muslims vowed to take revenge for him. This vow was known as Bay’ah al-Ridhwan. Subsequently this stando was resolved through the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah. The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah meant that after 18 years of persecution at the hands of the Quraish, the Muslims would now live in peace. In this peace-time era the Prophet sent letters to various kings and rulers inviting them towards Islam. Sixth Year of Migration The battle of Khaybar: The inhabitants of Khaybar were the main agents who had enlisted the Arab and Jewish forces in the battle of the confederates , who lived in Madinah.

The people of Khaybar begged for forgiveness, which the Prophet(S) granted and he allowed them to leave Madinah without any punishment. Umrah al-Qadha was performed to compensate for the Umrah, which the Muslims intended to perform in the previous year.

Muhammed (SAW) lived a simple, austere and modest life. He played many roles including, head of state, chief of justice, commander-in-chief, arbitrator and family man. The Prophet ‘s (SAW) saying are collections known as the “Hadiths”. A Among his (S) last words were “We the community of Prophets are not inherited. Whatever we leave is for charity.” So strong was his message of faith that within a hundred years, Muhammad(S)'s teachings and way of life had spread from the remote corners of Arabia to as far east as Indo-China and as far west as Morocco, France and Spain. timeline, scroll and click on white circle for audio, Media is for watching video.

One of the greatest of Muadh's contributions was that he was one of the group of six who collected the Qur'an during the lifetime of the Prophet (S). The Prophet S) personally bade farewell to him and walked for some distance alongside Muadh as he set out to leave the city, . Finally he (S) said to him: "O Muadh, perhaps you shall not meet me again after this year. Perhaps when you return you shall see only my mosque and my grave." Muadh wept. Those with him wept too. A feeling of sadness and desolation overtook him as he parted from his beloved Prophet, (SAW). The Prophet(S)'s premonition was correct. The eyes of Muadh never beheld the Prophet(S) after that moment. The Prophet(S) died before Muadh returned from the Yemen. When Muadh returned to Madinah the Khalifa (head of state) was Abu Bakr (RA). Ninth Year of Migration Tamin bin Awsal-Dari accepted Islam. He was also well known for being the rst person to light a lamp in a Majid that had no light. The Prophet(S) dispatched individuals to the various Muslim lands to collect Zakat. After the fall of Makkah and the collapse of the Quraish, the Romans feared for their own power. The Muslims assembled an army of 30,000 to combat the Roman army of 40,000 at Tabuk. The Romans ed as soon as they heard of the Muslim army and thus no ghting took place. Usury and dealing with Riba (interest) became prohibited. Even though the Quraish had tortured and persecuted the Muslims, when the Prophet(S) entered Makkah, he prohibited any form of revenge and thus there was no bloodshed. This act of kindness and peace results in many ardent enemies of the Prophet accepting Islam. The year was 630 C.E. Entire tribes embraced Islam in succession. Even after the Prophet(s) gave the Quraish leaders sanctuary and forgave them, many of the leaders still embraced Islam. Some of them were: Safwan bin Umayyah, Suhayl bin Amr, Utbah and Mu’awiyyah (RA) (May Allah be pleased with them). The Prophet(S) appointed governors in many Muslim areas and thus a system of peace and justice was established in those areas.
