The Treaty of Hudaibiya was a pivotal peace agreement signed in 6 AH (628 CE) between the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the Quraysh of Makkah at the place of Hudaibiya. The treaty stipulated a truce period of 10 years during which both parties agreed to cease hostilities. Although the treaty appeared unfavorable to Muslims initially, it proved to be a strategic victory as it allowed Islam to spread peacefully, ultimately leading to the Conquest of Makkah just two years later when the Quraysh violated the terms.
The Treaty of Hudaibiya was signed in Dhul Qa'dah 6 AH when the Prophet (PBUH) and approximately 1,400 companions set out for Umrah but were stopped by the Quraysh at Hudaibiya, near Makkah. The treaty was drafted by Hazrat Ali (R.A), and among its key terms were a 10-year ceasefire, the postponement of Umrah to the following year, and permission for tribes to freely ally with either side. The Quran refers to this treaty as a "Fath-e-Mubeen" (Manifest Victory) in Surah Al-Fath.
