The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah was signed in the 6th year of Hijrah (628 CE) between Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the Quraish of Makkah. The Muslims, who had set out for Umrah, were stopped at Hudaybiyyah, and after negotiations, a ten-year truce was agreed upon. Although the terms appeared unfavorable to the Muslims at first, the treaty proved to be a strategic victory, as it allowed peaceful preaching of Islam and ultimately paved the way for the Conquest of Makkah.
The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah is explicitly mentioned in the Quran in Surah Al-Fath (Chapter 48), which was revealed shortly after the treaty and described it as a "clear victory." The treaty was drafted by Ali (R.A.) and signed by the Prophet (PBUH). Key terms included a ten-year ceasefire, allowing tribes to ally with either side, and the Muslims returning to Madinah that year without performing Umrah, with permission to return the following year.
