MCQ Detailed View

Sulah Hudaibiya was a peace treaty signed between the Muslims of Madina, led by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and the Quraysh of Makkah in the 6th year of Hijrah (628 CE). The treaty was signed at Hudaibiya, a place located near Makkah, and the agreed duration of the truce was 10 years. The primary purpose of the treaty was to bring about peace between the two parties and to allow Muslims to perform Umrah in the coming year without fear of conflict.

Although the treaty appeared unfavorable to Muslims at the time, it turned out to be highly beneficial. It allowed the message of Islam to spread more freely during the peaceful period. Many new tribes approached Islam during this time, and several influential individuals embraced the faith. The treaty also established the Muslims as a legitimate force in Arabia.

However, the treaty did not last the full 10 years. It was eventually violated by the Quraysh when one of their allied tribes attacked a tribe allied with the Muslims. This violation led to the conquest of Makkah by the Muslims in the 8th year of Hijrah.
