Question 8 • Social Studies 8 - LIU Summer

Why did Muslims return to Mecca in 630 CE?

Answer
A
Muslims had gained reputations as trustworthy businesspeople and traders.
B
Muhammad had died, so he was no longer considered a threat to the rulers.
C
Muhammad had invited other Arab tribes to follow Islam and had united the people.
D
Muslims had won battles against forces from Mecca, and a truce had been signed.

Explanation

Muslims returned to Mecca in 630 after the Quraysh broke the truce made with Muhammad at Hudaybiyyah by attacking a tribe allied with the Muslims. By then, the Muslims had become stronger, and Muhammad led them to Mecca, where the city surrendered. Choice D points to the truce and the Muslims’ growing military strength.
