فتح فتح بَا نَ


Indeed, We gave you a clear victory. (The conquest of Mecca (Arabic: فتح مكة‎ fatḥ Makkah) was the conquering of the town of Mecca by Muslims led by Muhammad صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ‎ (ṣallā llāhu ʿalayhī wa-ʾālihī wa-sallam) in December 629 or January 630 AD (Julian), 10–20 Ramadan, 8 AH. The conquest marked the end of the wars between the Muslims, followers of Muhammad صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ‎ (ṣallā llāhu ʿalayhī wa-ʾālihī wa-Sallam) and the Quraysh tribe).

Allah was pleased with the believers when they took oath under the tree. He Knew what was in their hearts, and He sent peace upon them and soon rewarded them with victory. (The Pledge of the Tree (Arabic: بيعة الشجرة‎ bayʻat ash-shajarah) or Pledge of Satisfaction (Arabic: بيعة الرضوان bayʻat ar-riḍwān) or Pledge of Ridwan was a pledge that was sworn to the Prophet Muhammad صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ‎ (ṣallā llāhu ʿalayhī wa-ʾālihī wa-sallam) by his Sahaba (companions) before the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah (6 AH, 628 CE). The pledge, sworn under a tree, was to avenge the rumored death of Uthman bin Affan).

And He is the One who held back their hands on you, and your hands on them, in the center of Mecca, after you became victorious on them. Allah is Watching what you are doing. (Treaty of Hudaybiyyah (Arabic: صَلَح ٱلْحُدَيْبِيَّة‎, romanized: Ṣalaḥ Al-Ḥudaybiyyah.It was a pivotal treaty between Muhammad صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ‎ (ṣallā llāhu ʿalayhī wa-ʾālihī wa-Sallam), representing the state of Medina, and the Qurayshi tribe of Mecca in January 628 (corresponding to Dhu al-Qi'dah, AH 6). It helped to decrease tension between the two cities, affirmed peace for a period of 9 years, 9 months, and 9 days, and authorized followers of Prophet Muhammad صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ‎ (ṣallā llāhu ʿalayhī wa-ʾālihī wa-sallam) to return the following year in a peaceful pilgrimage, later known as The First Pilgrimage).

Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Those with him are stern against the nonbelievers yet compassionate amongst themselves. You see them kneeling, prostrating, seeking blessings from Allah, and acceptance. The marks are on their faces from the effects of prostration. Such is their description in the Torah and the Gospel: like a plant that sprouts, becomes strong, grows thick, and rests on its stem, impressing the farmers. Through them, He enrages the nonbelievers. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do good deeds forgiveness and a great reward.
