Bilal calls the Adhan from the Ka’bah 
When it was time for Zuhr prayer, the Prophet asked Bilal 
to call the Adhan from the roof of the Ka’bah as a proclamation 
of the dominance of Islam. How pleasing to Muslim ears and 
how loathsome to the polytheists it was to hear the declaration of 
Allah’s supremacy in His Sacred Mosque. 
The Prophet in Makkah 
When the conquest of Makkah was complete, the Ansar grew 
worried that the Prophet would stay on in Makkah, home of 
his ancestors and his tribe. They expressed their concern to the 
Prophet as he stood with his hands raised in prayer on Mount 
Safa. After his prayer was over, he allayed their fears, “Allah 
forbid I should do so. I will live and die with you.” 
The Prophet stayed for nineteen days in Makkah, during 
which period he obliterated every vestige of the Jahiliyah, the Age 
of Ignorance that preceded Islam. Makkah became an Islamic city. 


244 
The Prophet erected pillars to demarcate the boundaries of the 
Sacred Mosque. Following this, a crier announced that whoever 
believed in Allah and the Hereafter was to destroy any idols that 
remained in his house. 
Uzza, Suwa and Manah are destroyed 
On the 25
th
Ramadan, the Prophet dispatched Khalid bin 
Waleed to Nakhlah at the head of thirty cavalrymen to demolish 
the temple of Uzza. The idol of Uzza was the biggest, and Khalid 
smashed it to pieces. In the same month, Amr bin Aas was 
sent to demolish the idol of Suwa, the chief deity of Banu 
Hudhayl. Amr arrived at the shrine in Rabat, 150 km north east of 
Makkah, and razed it to the ground. Its priest saw the inanimate 
object submit itself to destruction, and he was overcome with the 
realisation that no creator could be destroyed thus. 
Once more false god remained, and the Prophet sent Sa’d 
bin Zayd Ash’hali at the head of twenty cavaliers to destroy 
Manah, the deity of the Kalb, Khuzaa, Ghassan, Aus and Khazraj 
tribes. Sa’d broke the idol and demolished its temple, removing 
one more loathed rival of Allah, the One the Eternal, of whom no 
likeness can ever be made.
