Muslim-Quraysh War

The Muslim-Quraysh War was a six-year military and religious conflict in the Arabian Peninsula between the early Muslims led by Muhammad and the pagan Quraysh tribe of Mecca. It began in March 624 with the Battle of Badr and ended in December 629 or January 630 with the Conquest of Mecca. After migrating from Mecca to Medina, Muhammad and his followers raided Quraysh trade caravans, provoking the Battle of Uhud in March 625, which ended in stalemate, and the Battle of the Trench in 627, in which a confederation of Arab tribes besieged Medina and was repelled by defensive trenches suggested by Salman the Persian. Muhammad later secured the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, a ten-year armistice permitting pilgrimage to Mecca; when the treaty was violated, Muhammad marched on Mecca, where most of its inhabitants converted to Islam. The war ended in a Muslim victory with the capture of Mecca.
