Battle of Trench:
After the Battle of Uhad, the Muslims were able to regain their former position.
The Quraish could not reconcile themselves with the growing power of Muslims and felt
threatened.
Meanwhile, the Jewish tribe of Banu Nazir who had settled at Khyber kept on plotting
against the muslims. Their chiefs went to Makkah and asked for help against the
Muslims, which the Quraish agreed to give.
Then they went to Ghatafan tribe and gained their support too.
Some other tribes also agreed to give full support against the Muslims, so with an army
of 10,000 men under the command of Abu Sufyan they marched to Medina in 5
A.H. when the Prophet came to know of this, he consulted his companions.
Hazrat Salman Farsi, who was a Persian, suggested that a trench be built.
This suggestion was unanimously accepted by all.
As medina was safe from all other sides, a trench was built only in the north. '
The Prophet himself took part in digging the trench.
It took 8 days to build a trench 15 feet deep and 3 km wide, 3000 companions took part
in digging the Trench. '
When the Quraish arrived, they were shocked and did not know what to do as this
trench was far beyond their imagination.
Despite several attempts, the Quraish were unable to cross the trench and so they
camped behind it.
Minor skirmishes took place for a couple of days in which Muslims had an upper hand.
Whenever, a person would attempt to cross the Trench, Muslims would hurl stones and
arrows.
Muslims had to remain vigilant throughout and could not even assemble for prayer.
Meanwhile, Banu Qurayza, a Jewish tribe residing in medina violated the covenant of
Medina and decided to attack from inside Medina.
The Prophet sent a detachment to watch and this threat was successfully eliminated.
The siege of Quraish lasted for a month after which a terrible storm came which blew
away their camps and they were forced to flee.
Thus Muslims gained victory.
what lessons can Muslims learn from this battle?

 in times of difficulty to keep hope like when the Muslims were hungry and
weak during the battle of Khandaq (allowance was made to eat non-halal
food if there was no other option
 Muslims should remain strong and patient and work hard for their victory
 Despite victory, Muslims should remain fair and trustworthy (keeping their
promise to the Jews to allow them to remain in Khaybar)
 they should have faith in God at all times
https://www.islamreligion.com/articles/3493/prophet-muhammad-kindness-to-animals/#_ftn21315
 It is important to be open to suggestions from others (e.g. the Prophet taking

advice from Salman al-Farsi)
Describe the Prophet’s conduct as leader in battles he fought in
 the Prophet constantly turned to God for help

 he would take opinions from others
 he was patient and did not fight out of anger
 he treated captives/prisoners of war well
 He took part in all the battles himself.
Treaty Of Hudaybia:
In 628 A.D, the Prophet dreamt that he was entering the holy Ka’abah.
So, he planned to go to Makkah for the lesser pilgrimage. In the month of Dhul-Qadah,
the Prophet along with 1400 unarmed companions left for Makkah.
Although they had no intention of waging war and were unarmed yet their huge number
surprised the Quraish and so they weren’t allowed to enter Makkah.
Instead, to resist their entry they sent a force under Khalid Bin Waleed and Ukrama Bin
Jahl.
The prophet did not want to fight so he diverted his route.
The Muslims camped at a place called Hudaybia about 3 miles from Makkah.
From here, the Prophet sent a messenger to the Quraish to tell them that they had not
come to fight.
But that messenger never returned.
The prophet sent another messenger, who, too did not return and so eventually the
prophet sent Hazrat Usman due to his high reputation among the Quraish.
When the Quraish had detained Hazrat Usman for a while rumors spread that he had
been killed.
Therefore the prophet called his companions to take a pledge to fight and avenge the
blood of Hazrat Usman.
This was known as Bait-e-Rizwan.
After this, Hazrat Usman returned, and negotiations started with the Quraish, eventually
a treaty known as the treaty of hudaybia was devised,. Its terms were as follows:
The Muslims would not enter Makkah this year, but would return the following year
Makkans taking refuge in Medina would be handed back but medinites talking refuge in
Makkah would not be returned
There will be no war for 10 years
Both makkans and Muslims would stay neutral if there was a war with another group
Agreements could be made with other tribes.
Apparently the terms did not favor the Muslims and many of the leading companions like
Hazrat Umar had objections, bur Allah himself says: “verily have we granted thee a
manifest victory”.
APOSTASY MOVEMENT:
 After the Prophet’s death, some of the people rose in revolt against the
authorities in Medina and renounced Islam.
 Abu Bakr, without any delay, launched an expedition against this
movement.
 After collecting the troops at Medina, he divided them into eleven battalions
each with an experienced commander, and sent them in eleven different directions
to crush these revolts.
 He instructed each commander to first invite these tribes to Islam. If any
refused to comply they were to be attacked.
 Some of the tribes accepted Islam but the others were stubborn and were
dealt with harshly.
 All campaigns were successful and Abu Bakr was able to re-establish
control of Islam throughout the Peninsula.

THE HOLY PROPHET (peace be upon Him) WITH POOR
One day a poor man brought a bunch of grapes to the holy prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
Him) as a gift.
The holy prophet (pbuhf) ate one, two, three and then the whole bunch of grapes by himself. He did
not offer grapes to anyone present. The poor man who brought those grapes was very pleased and
left. One of the companions asked, "O prophet of Allah (peace be upon Him) ! How come you ate all
the grapes by yourself and did not offer to any one of us present?
The holy Prophet (peace be upon Him) smiled and said, "I ate all the grapes by myself because the
grapes were sour. If I would have offered you, you might have made funny faces and that would
have hurt the feelings of that poor man. I thought to myself that it's better that I eat all of them
cheerfully and please the poor man. I did not want to hurt the feelings of that poor man."
Such were the manners of this most noble prophet of Allah.
With slaves
Once Muhammad (peace be upon him) saw a slave grinding some grain on a grinding mill driven by
hand. As he ground the grains he was crying. On seeing this Prophet became anxious. He asked the
slave the reason why he was weeping. The slave said, "I am sick. I cannot grind the grain. My
master is very cruel and he will beat me if I cannot finish my job." At this, the Prophet stepped
forward and ground the rest of the grain saying, "Always call me if you have any grain to grind. I will
do it for you."
That slave was Hazrat Bilal R.A! 😊
Animals
If the Prophet saw, any animal over-burdened or ill fed he would speak mildly to
the owner and say, “Fear God in your treatment of animals.” However,
refraining from physical cruelty is not enough; abstaining from mental cruelty is
equally as important. Even a bird’s emotional distress should be treated
seriously. One of Prophet Muhammad’s companions narrates, “We were on a
journey and during the Prophet’s absence, we saw a bird with its two
chicks; we took them. The mother bird was circling above us in the air,
beating its wings in grief. When Prophet Muhammad returned he said,
“Who has hurt the feelings of this bird by taking its chicks? Return them to
her.”[5]
ORPHANS
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The best house
among the Muslims is the house in which orphans are well treated. The worst house among the Muslims is the
house in which orphans are ill treated. I and the guardian of the orphan will be in the Garden like that," indicating
his two fingers. [Adab al Mufrad 76. The best house is a house in which orphans are well treated 137]
During selecting place for masjid e nabvi. He did not took the plot of sahil ad sohail for free although he s.a.w. was
offered.
NON MUSLIMS
In an authentic tradition, Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)is reported to have

said: “Whenever you see a funeral procession, stand up till the procession goes ahead
of you”. [1] One day a funeral procession passed in front of him and he stood up.
When he was told that it was the coffin of a Jew, he said, "Is it not a living being
(soul)?" Also, Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) used to visit non -Muslims who
were sick. Hence, the Prophet (Peace be upon him)visited Abu Talib in his sickness,
and he also visited a sick Jewish boy. [2]
AS A PARENT
As soon as Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), the daughter of the Messenger (peace and blessings
be upon him), entered the room where the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was, he (peace
and blessings be upon him) would stand, take her hands, and make her sit where he (peace and blessings
be upon him) was sitting. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would ask about her health and family,
show his paternal love for her, and compliment her.
Go to meet his son when he was ill and prophet p.b.u.h was busy. He also brought his daughter
back when her mother’s necklace was given as ransom and kept her with him without think ing of
her as a burden. Asked usman r.a. to take care of hazrat Ruqaiyya r.a during badar instead of
going with him.
