The Battle of the Trench

WITH A QUIZ
Extracted in part from
The Journey of a Lifetime with Prophet Muhammad

BACKGROUND
A century or so before, the great-grand parents of the Jews of Medina migrated to the City and its surrounding areas. The reason for their migration from the greener pastures of their homeland was because it was written in their Holy Books that a prophet would arise in that vicinity, and each tribe hoped to have the honor of the Prophet for their own tribe.

The description of the expected Prophet was well known to the Jews and as the years rolled by, one by one, the signs relating to the time of his coming had been fulfilled. His anticipation was upon the lips of every Jew in Medina, and they taunted their pagan Arab neighbors saying that when he came they would be put to death on account of their pagan practices.

The Jews had heard Prophet Muhammad's teaching, praise and peace be upon him, but even though they recognized the truth he brought, they refused to accept and follow him for the simple fact he was not a Jew.

Had they heeded the words of Prophet Jesus, the Messiah, instead of rejecting him, they would have understood his warning that the covenant was about to be taken from them if they did not reform and follow him. As history narrates, they chose not to follow him and continued to follow the tampered version of the Torah.

Allah says:
"Do you then hope that they will believe in you,
when some of them have already heard the Word of Allah
and knowingly tampered with it,
although they understood its meaning!"
Koran, Chapter 2 verse 75.

Therefore, it is not surprising that most of the Jews of Medina resented the presence of Prophet Muhammad, praise and peace be upon him, and could not fail to notice that every day the number of his followers increased.

However, there were some Jews, including a former well loved and respected rabbi that converted to Islam, but now they had become outcasts, despised for their acceptance of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and his message.

It wasn't just the Jews who resented the Prophet's presence but the pagan Arab chieftains of Medina for many of their tribesmen now abandoned their authority and pledged their allegiance to the Prophet. praise and peace be upon him. Rather than loose their position in society, some of these chieftains claimed to have converted to Islam but their tongues said what their hearts did not. Their sole aim was to retain their social standing which they perceived to be fading away.

However, despite all these underlying factors, a pact was made between the Jews and pagan Arabs that neither party would support the enemies of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and that in the event of an attack they would lend him their support. In return, both parties received many benefits and justice in their affairs.

Time passed and the Jewish tribe of An-Nadir plotted to kill the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, but had not determined which way would be the most effective.
