History of Hajj

Prophet Muhammad has also emphasized this fact clearly. One notable example is the conquest of Makkah, which took place around 20 years after the commencement of his mission in 610 AD. During that time, Makkah held great significance throughout the Arab region. Traditions recount that during the conquest of Makkah, as the Prophet entered the city as a conqueror, he humbly lowered his neck out of a sense of humility. Witnesses observed that his beard touched the saddle of his mount. Then, at the gate of the Kabah, he delivered a sermon that included the following words: “There is no god but God, Who has fulfilled His promise, granted His succour to His servant, and defeated the confederates alone.” (Sunan Abu Dawood, Hadith No. 4547)
