Muslim–Quraysh War

The Muslim–Quraysh War was a conflict in the seventh century[1] in the Arabian Peninsula. It was fought between the Muslims of Medina's Islamic government and the polytheistic Quraysh people of Mecca.[2] The conflict started in March 623 with the expedition of Hamza ibn 'Abdul-Muttalib[3] and concluded with the fall of the Quraysh tribe and the Conquest of Mecca.[4] Battles during the war occurred sporadically. Notable battles include the Battle of Uhud, in which the Islamic forces were routed but managed to prevent Medina from falling; the Battle of the Trench, in which the Muslims successfully routed an entire confederacy of tribes;[5] and the Conquest of Mecca.
