MCQ Detailed View

The Treaty of Hudaibiya was a pivotal agreement signed between Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the Quraysh of Makkah in the 6th year after Hijrah. The formal written document of this treaty was prepared by Hazrat Ali ibn Abi Talib (R.A), a close cousin of the Prophet ﷺ and one of the most trusted scribes of Islam.

During the drafting of the treaty, the Prophet ﷺ instructed Hazrat Ali (R.A) to write the terms as dictated. The original opening of the treaty stated: “This is what Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, has agreed with…” but the Quraysh objected to the term “Messenger of Allah.” Despite the objection, Hazrat Ali (R.A) showed deep respect and reluctance to erase the title of the Prophet ﷺ, until the Prophet himself erased it.

Hazrat Ali’s (R.A) role in writing the treaty reflects his deep involvement in key events of Islamic history. The treaty itself was a turning point that paved the way for the peaceful spread of Islam and ultimately led to the Conquest of Makkah two years later.
