The Battle of the
Trench (also known as the Battle of Khandaq) took place in 627 CE between the
Muslim community of Medina, led by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and a
confederation of various tribes including the Quraysh. The Muslims,
anticipating an attack, dug a trench (khandaq) around Medina to protect the
city. The battle ended in a stalemate, with the enemy forces unable to breach
the defenses, marking a significant turning point in Islamic history.
