Which event in 630 CE took place during Ramadan when Muhammad entered Mecca?

The Conquest of Mecca took place in 630 CE during Ramadan, when Muhammad and his followers entered the city. The event is traditionally dated to 8 AH in the Islamic calendar.

Muhammad’s forces entered Mecca after the breakdown of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah. Historical accounts describe the city’s takeover as comparatively bloodless, followed by Muhammad’s declaration of general amnesty for many former opponents. The Kaaba was also cleared of idols according to Islamic tradition.

The event is different from the Battle of Badr, which occurred in 624 CE during Ramadan and is already associated with 2 AH. It is also different from the Hijra, Muhammad’s migration from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE. These events are key milestones in early Islamic history but occurred in different years.
