Ghazwa-e-Ahzaab (Khandaq) explores the decisive battle and the political, social, and military events that secured Madinah and Islam’s future.
The decisive battle that secured Madinah and changed the course of Islamic history
By the grace and help of Allah Almighty, the author had earlier published two books, Ghazwa-e-Badr and Ghazwa-e-Uhud, as part of a planned series on the decisive battles of Islam. With great pleasure, this third book, Ghazwa-e-Ahzaab (Khandaq), is now presented to respected readers as the next link in that important historical chain.

This book does not limit itself to a simple narration of the events of the Battle of Ahzaab. Rather, like the previous volumes, it offers a detailed and analytical overview of the political, social, and military conditions in which the Muslims lived between the battles of Uhud and Ahzaab.
The work also highlights the seven rapid military expeditions, most of which were personally led by the Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. These expeditions played a crucial role in strengthening the Muslim center at Madinah and restoring the awe and authority of the Islamic state, which had been challenged after the setback at Uhud. As a result of that temporary weakness, hostile tribes and Bedouins had begun to consider attacking Madinah.
The book further sets the stage for the next decisive confrontation, which, by the will of Allah, would later eliminate the persistent Jewish conspiratorial threat and bring lasting security to the Arabian Peninsula—particularly through decisive action against its strongholds at Khaybar and Banu Qurayzah in Madinah.
Ghazwa-e-Ahzaab (Khandaq) thus stands as a vital historical study, presenting not only a great battle but the broader strategic struggle that shaped the future of Islam.
