The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah  was signed in Dhu al-Qi’dah, 6 A.H (March 628 CE). This important treaty was between Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) and the Quraysh of Makkah, aiming to establish a ten-year truce and allow peaceful interactions between Muslims and the Quraysh.

The treaty was initially seen as disadvantageous by some Muslims, as it included terms such as postponing the pilgrimage that year. However, the Prophet (S.A.W) recognized its strategic importance. The treaty allowed Muslims to enter Makkah peacefully the following year and provided opportunities for the spread of Islam through dialogue and alliances.

Historically, the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah is considered a turning point in Islamic history. It demonstrated the Prophet’s (S.A.W) wisdom in diplomacy, patience, and planning. Following the treaty, many tribes recognized Islam, and conversions increased, ultimately leading to the peaceful conquest of Makkah two years later.
