The Prophet’s Sirah • Series 20

The Conquest of Makkah (Part 1)

A Broken Treaty, Hatib’s Letter and the Fires at Marr az-Zahran, According to the Qur’an and Authentic Hadith

Two years after Hudaybiyah, Quraysh’s allies attacked Khuza‘ah — the Prophet’s ﷺ allies — by night, and the treaty was broken by Quraysh’s own hands. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prepared in secret, a single letter almost betrayed everything, and then ten thousand men set out in Ramadan. One night at Marr az-Zahran, thousands of fires blazed, and the leader of Quraysh embraced Islam. The twentieth book of The Prophet’s Sirah tells of the Conquest of Makkah — Part 1.

What You Will Learn

A treaty broken — the attack at al-Watir, the plea of ‘Amr ibn Salim, and the betrayer’s banner on the Day of Resurrection (Sahih al-Bukhari 3188; At-Tawbah 9:12–13).
Abu Sufyan before Heraclius and in Madinah (Sahih al-Bukhari 7), and Umm Habibah folding the Prophet’s ﷺ mattress.
The letter in the braid — the story of Hatib ibn Abi Balta‘ah, Surat al-Mumtahanah and the forgiveness of the people of Badr (Sahih al-Bukhari 4274; Sahih Muslim 2495).
Ten thousand in Ramadan — the ethics of war, fasting and breaking the fast on a journey (Sahih al-Bukhari 4276, 4279; Sahih Muslim 1114), with figures and a map.
Returning to the place of return — the promise of Al-Qasas 28:85, the prayer of Ibrahim عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ, al-‘Abbas’s emigration and “no blame upon you today” (Yusuf 12:92).
The fires at Marr az-Zahran — the Islam of Abu Sufyan and Hakim ibn Hizam, battalion after battalion, and “a day Allah will honour the Ka‘bah” (Sahih al-Bukhari 4280).
Before and after the Conquest (Al-Hadid 57:10; Sahih Muslim 2541) and the people of Part One — a table of 15 people with their tribes and kinship ties.
Places from Madinah to Marr az-Zahran (Sahih al-Bukhari 4275) and rulings from Part One: the Muslim spy (Sahih al-Bukhari 3007), breaking the fast while travelling, and keeping covenants.
A timeline of Part One and 12 frequently asked questions — followed by Part 2: the day of the Conquest.
