Quick fact: The Prophet (PBUH) recited Surah Al-Fatha during the conquest of Makkah.

Explanation

Surah Al-Fatha (Chapter 48 of the Quran) was revealed after the Treaty of Hudaibiyah and was recited by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as he entered Makkah victoriously in 8 AH. The surah's name itself means "The Victory" and it celebrates the manifest triumph granted by Allah. Its recitation during the conquest signified the fulfillment of Allah's promise and the peaceful takeover of the city that had once persecuted the Muslims.

Good to know

The conquest of Makkah took place in the 8th year of Hijrah (630 CE) when the Prophet (PBUH) entered the city with approximately 10,000 companions. It was a largely bloodless conquest, and the Prophet (PBUH) granted general amnesty to the Quraysh, including his former enemies. Upon entering Makkah, he went directly to the Kaaba, cleansed it of idols, and recited Surah Al-Fatha, marking one of the most significant events in Islamic history.
