			The Battle of the Trench, also known as
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			the Battle of Al-Ahzab.
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			Some narrations in Sira say that they were
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			between 8,000 to 10,000 in the
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			army of the disbelievers.
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			The whole population of Medina was less than
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			that number.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			Salman Al-Farisi رضي الله عنه said, O
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			Messenger of Allah, back home in Persia, if
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			we were in a similar situation, what we
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			would do is dig a trench that was
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			wide and deep in order to defend the
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			city from attack.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			So the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم liked
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			this idea.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			The army of Quraysh and their confederates, they
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			came and they laid siege to the city
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:31
			of Medina.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			In terms of actual fighting, it was very
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			little because the trench did what it was
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:36
			meant to do.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			They stayed there for over 20 days and
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			nights laying siege to the city of Medina.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is making
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			dua to Allah سبحانه وتعالى.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			And Allah عز و جل sends a fierce
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			violent wind on the camp of Quraysh and
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:49
			the other armies.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			It blows away their tents, blows away their
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			possessions, blows away the ropes that were tying
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:55
			their animals.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			So they start to flee and their whole
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			camp goes into disarray.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			Those people left and they went back home
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			and Allah عز و جل gave victory to
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			the Muslims.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			This in a nutshell is what took place
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			in the battle of Ghandak, the battle of
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			the trench.
