Explanation

The conquest of Makkah took place in Ramadan, 8 AH. After entering Makkah victoriously, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) stayed in the city for 15 days to establish Islamic administration, cleanse the Kaaba of idols, and consolidate the new Islamic order before returning to Madinah. This period was crucial for integrating the Quraysh and other Makkans into the Muslim community.

Good to know

The conquest of Makkah occurred on the 20th of Ramadan, 8 AH, when the Prophet (PBUH) entered the city with approximately 10,000 companions. During his 15-day stay, he performed multiple prayers at different locations, appointed Attab ibn Usayd as the governor of Makkah, and Mu'adh ibn Jabal to teach the people Islamic practices. He also forgave the Quraysh in a historic display of mercy, declaring general amnesty.
