THE BATTLE OF TABUK

The battle of Tabuk also got another name in history, It is also famous for the expedition of Usra. The expedition was initiated by Prophet Muhammad SAW in the month of October of 630 AD. This was the force of 30,000 Islamic Soldiers. Geographically it was a march towards the north of Tabuk and was near to the Gulf of Aqaba. This part is currently known as northwestern Saudi Arabia.
There was the news of the Byzantinian attack so Muhammad SAW asked Arabs to gather against them but many of them denied participating. Forces marched towards the Gulf of Aqaba in October 630, it was 9th of the Rajab. This was a large expedition and the difference about this battle is Ali Ibn Abi Talib did not participate in this battle due to Prophet’s SAW instructions. He held command at Medina.

This was the stay of almost 20 days at the place of Tabuk. Prophet Muhammad SAW scouted the area and met with different local chiefs and made alliances over theirs. Byzantine’s army did not appear during this period. So the prophet of Islam decided to return back to the medina. It is mentioned in oxford encyclopedia of the Islamic world,

“This show of force demonstrated his intention to challenge the Byzantines for control of the northern part of the caravan route from Mecca to Syria” (oxford encyclopedia of the Islamic world).
Surah Tuba And Battle of Tabuk

“The second discourse (vv., 38-72) was sent down in Rajab A.H. 9 or a little before this, when the Holy Prophet was engaged in making preparations for the Campaign, of Tabuk. In this discourse, the Believers were urged to take an active part in Jihad, and the shirkers were severely rebuked for holding back their wealth and for hesitation to sacrifice their lives in the way of Allah because of their hypocrisy, weak faith or negligence.” (Tafheem ul Quran)
