	Battle of the Trench - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Khandaq (AKA Battle of the Trench (Arabic غزوةالخندق), Battle of the Ditch, Battle of Ahzab (Arabic غزوةالاحزاب) was an attack by the city of Mecca on the city Medina in 627.
		The Battle of the Trench began when the Jewish tribe Banu Nadir attacked the Muslims in Medina who had expelled the tribe for their alleged treachery towards them.
		The name "Battle of the Trench" comes from the belief that the Muslims dug a trench north of Medina to protect their city (Medina was naturally fortified on all other fronts).

		The immediate background of this mass extermination and enslavement is the Battle of the Trench (or Ditch), in February-March-April (the exact calculations vary), AD 627.
		The Muslim army bivouacked south of the trench with Medina at their backs, while the coalition camped north of the trench, facing Medina, with Mt. Uhud at their backs.
		But no full-scale battles ever took place, and the early sources say that the Jews remained in their houses and fortresses near Medina—that is, the sources do not depict them forcefully sallying out and attacking Muslims from behind.

		This suggestion was endorsed by the prophet (PBUH) and a trench was dug in the areas where the unbelievers could attack from and in a manner that would protect the tribes on the front lines.
		However, it does not go according to the plan of the unbelievers who came to attack Al-Madinah because the prophet (PBUH) transformed it into the battle of the trench which forced the forces of the unbelievers to stay on the outskirts of Al-Madinah and never be able to enter it.
		The primary role that the Muslim army played was protect the trench and if any group of unbelievers try to cross the trench then, finish them before they do.

		On the other hand, Muhammad bin Ishaq says that the Battle of the Trench took place in Shawwal 5 A.H. and the Campaign against Bani al-Mustaliq in Sha'ban 6 A.H. This opinion is supported by many authentic traditions from Hadrat 'A'ishah and others.
		It cannot be said with certainty whether this change of tactics was the outcome of deliberate consultations, or it was the inevitable result of the humiliating retreat in the Battle of the Trench.
