Yesterday, on January 14, 630 CE, the Muslims under the command of the noble Prophet Muhammad ﷺ took the holy city of Makkah.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ gathered an army of 10,000 of his companions (May Allah be pleased with them) and marched on the city of Makkah.

The opening/conquest of Makkah was largely uncontested and the city was taken over with less conflict.

This event came to be known as Fath Makkah (The Opening of Makkah) as the Pagan Arabs known as Quraysh led by Abu Sufyan (Allah be pleased with him) who was not yet a Muslim, surrendered to the Muslims.

The Prophet ﷺ was said to have entered Makkah with his head lowered and praising Allah and reciting the Quran. His famous words were that today was a day of mercy and forgiveness.
