    Q4.Give an account of Battle of Trench .
    [Khandaq] /10
    • Khandaq: took place in 627 5 A.H ; Banu Nadir was exiled from Madinah
    because they had broken their treaty /agreements and now they planned to
    kill the Prophet[s.a.w]
    • The Jewish tribe of Banu Nazir who had settled at Khyber kept on
    plotting against the muslims. Their chiefs went to Makkah and asked
    for help against the Muslims, which the Quraish agreed to give. 
    • Then they went to Ghatafan tribe and gained their support too. 
    • Some other tribes also agreed to give full support against the Muslims,
    so with an army of 10,000 men under the command of Abu Sufyan
    they marched to Medina in 5 A.H. when the Prophet[s.a.w] came to
    know of this, he consulted his companions. 
    • Hazrat Salman Farsi, who was a Persian, suggested that a trench be
    built. 
    • This suggestion was unanimously accepted by all. 
    • As medina was safe from all other three sides, a trench was built
    only in the north. '
    • The Prophet [s.a.w] himself took part in digging the trench. 
    • It took 8 days to build a trench 15 feet deep and 3 km wide, 3000
    companions took part in digging the Trench.
    • When the Quraish arrived, they were shocked and did not know what
    to do as this trench was wide and deep beyond their imagination. 
    • Despite several attempts, the Quraish were unable to cross the
    trench and so they camped behind it. 
    •'
    • Minor skirmishes took place for a couple of days in which Muslims had
    an upper hand. Whenever, a person would attempt to cross the
    Trench, Muslims would hurl stones and arrows. 
    • Muslims had to remain vigilant throughout and could not even
    assemble for prayer. Meanwhile, Banu Qurayza, a Jewish tribe
    residing in medina violated the covenant of Medina and decided to
    attack from inside Medina. 
    • The Prophet [s.a.w] sent a detachment to watch and this threat was
    successfully eliminated. 
    • The siege of Quraish lasted for a month after which a terrible storm
    came which blew away their camps and they were forced to flee. 
    • Thus Muslims gained victory.
