8 AH / 629 CE
Importance / Conclusion
It was the largest Muslim army never mobilized on this scale except in the
process of the Khandaq Battle.
Even though the battle did not satisfy the Muslims' objective, namely
avenging Al-Harith's murder, it resulted in a far-ranging impact and
attached to the Muslims a great reputation in the battlefields.
The battle was a real miracle proving that the Muslims were something
exceptional not then familiar. Moreover, it gave evidence that Allh backed
them and their Prophet, Muhammad, was really Allh's Messenger
Many tribes were so impressed that they embraced Islam out of their own
sweet free will.
Mu'tah Battle was the 1st but not the last encounter with the Byzantines
subsequently.
Many battles would follow in the years to come during the era of the
Caliphs resulting in the supremacy of the Muslims.
