The Siege of Medina occurred in 632 CE during the early days of the Islamic community. It was a conflict between the followers of Prophet Muhammad and the tribes of Banu Qaynuqa and Banu Nadir, who opposed the new Islamic leadership. The siege aimed to consolidate Muslim control over Medina and eliminate resistance from these tribes. The siege lasted several weeks, resulting in the eventual surrender of the Banu Qaynuqa. This event marked a significant moment in the establishment of the Islamic state, as it demonstrated the growing power of the Muslim community and set the stage for future conflicts and alliances in the region.
