Muhammad conquers Mecca

Mecca, Saudi Arabia

The truce of Hudaybiyyah was enforced for two years until a tribal killing caused an issue. After this event, Muhammad sent a message to Mecca with three conditions, asking them to accept one of them. These were: either the Meccans would pay blood money for the slain among the Khuza'ah tribe, they disavow themselves of the Banu Bakr, or they should declare the truce of Hudaybiyyah null. The Meccans replied that they accepted the last condition. Muhammad marched on Mecca with 10,000 Muslim converts. He enters the city peacefully, and eventually all its citizens accept Islam. The prophet clears the idols and images out of the Kaaba and rededicates it to the worship of God alone. The conquest marked the end of the wars between the followers of Muhammad and the Quraysh tribe.
