Battle Of Ahzab





Battle Of Ahzab


 

The Battle of the Ahzab (Trench) was a fortnight-long siege of Yathrib (now Madina) by Arab and Jewish tribes. The strength of the confederate armies is estimated around 10,000 men with 600 horses and some camels, while the Muslims numbered 3000. The battle began in 627 CE. 


On the advice of Sahabi, Salmaan Faarsi (RA), they decided that a trench should be dug. The largely outnumbered defenders of Madina, mainly Muslims led by Muhammad (PBUH), dig and fought the confederates from a trench. 


They made the trench 5 meters deep and 5 meters wide. On the 27th night of the siege, a severe storm approached Madina. The tents of Kuffar were uprooted, goods were blown about, fires were extinguished and the whole kuffar army was in utter fear and in a state of confusion. Under the circumstances, the kuffar army fled in disarray.

  Three days before his death, while the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad(PBUB) was visiting the house of Umm Al-Mumineen, Hazrat Maimuna(may Allah be pleased with him)  , he said:  "Gather my wifes."  All the spouses gathered.  The Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked:  "Do you all allow me to spend the day of illness with Ayesha (may Allah be pleased with him)?"  They all said: O Messenger of Allah!  Then he wanted to get up but he could not get up, so Hazrat Ali Ibn Abi Talib(may Allah be pleased with him)   and Hazrat Fazl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) went ahead and lifted the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with support.  They started to lead him towards the cell.  At that time, when the Companions saw the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) for the first time in this (illness and weakness) state, they began to ask ea...

 (PBUH)Al-Sadiq (The truthful one) and Al-Amin (The trustworthy one).  Muhammad (PBUH) was well known for his good manners and honesty. He was known as Al-Sadiq (The truthful one) and Al-Amin (The trustworthy one).  There are many stories related to Muhammad’s youth. These stories tell us how he used to take the sheep to graze and was always kind to them. While they grazed he would sit thinking about the mysteries of nature. Unlike those around him, he never worshipped the idols and never swore by them.  He also wondered why people were always struggling for power and money. He was a quiet, thoughtful boy, and rarely played with other boys of his age. On one occasion, however, Muhammad (PBUH) went with some of the boys to a wedding in Makkah. When he reached the house he heard the sounds of music and dancing but just as he was about to enter he suddenly felt tired; which made him sit down and fall asleep. He did not wake up until late the next morning and thus missed...
