The then known world stood on the verge of destruction, with chaos as the order of the day and pre-Islamic Arabia was no exception to this, rather it was in the lowest depths of abysmal darkness; infanticide was rampant, debauchery was looked upon as chivalrous, drunkenness was a common sight and all forms of evil was glorified.
Mtume (s.a.w.w) alitangaza msamaha wa jumla hapo Makka. Msamaha huo uliwafikia na makafiri pia. Alilikataza jeshi lake kuteka nyara za mji huo au kuzuia kitu chochote kili-chokuwa mali ya Maquraishi. Hao Maquraishi hawakuacha kukamilisha kitu chochote kuzingira uharibifu wake, na uharibifu wa Uislamu; lakini katika saa yake ya ushindi alisamehe makosa yao yote na uhalifu wao.
