The Battle of the Trench also known as Battle of the Confederates, was a fortnight-long siege of Yathrib (now Medina) by Arab and Jewish tribes. The strength of the confederate armies is estimated around 10,000 men with six hundred horses and some camels, while the Medinan numbered 3000. The battle began on March 31, 627. The outnumbered defenders of Medina, mainly Muslims led by Islamic prophet Muhammad, opted to dig and fight from a trench rather than face the tribes in the open.

  • The Battle of the Trench also known as Battle of the Confederates, was a fortnight-long siege of Yathrib (now Medina) by Arab and Jewish tribes. The strength of the confederate armies is estimated around 10,000 men with six hundred horses and some camels, while the Medinan numbered 3000. The battle began on March 31, 627. The outnumbered defenders of Medina, mainly Muslims led by Islamic prophet Muhammad, opted to dig and fight from a trench rather than face the tribes in the open. The trench together with Medina's natural fortifications rendered the confederate cavalry (consisting of horses and camels) useless, locking the two sides in a stalemate. Hoping to make several attacks at once, the confederates persuaded the Banu Qurayza to attack the city from the south. However, Muhammad's diplomacy derailed the negotiations, and broke up the confederacy against him. The well-organized defenders, the sinking of confederate morale, and poor weather conditions caused the siege to end in a fiasco. The siege was a "battle of wits", in which Muslims diplomatically overcame their opponents with very few casualties. Efforts to defeat the Muslims failed, and Islam became influential in the region. As a consequence, the Muslims besieged the Qurayza, leading to its unconditional surrender. The defeat also caused the Meccans to lose their trade and much of their prestige.
  • Die Grabenschlacht (oder der Grabenkrieg,‏غزوة الخندق ‎ / ġazwatu ʾl-ḫandaq) war der Angriff einer Allianz der Quraisch, einiger anderer Stämme sowie abessinischer Söldner auf Medina im Jahre 627 n. Chr. Mohammed ließ - der islamischen Historiographie zufolge dem Rat Salmān al-Fārisīs folgend - zur Verteidigung der Oase einen Graben um Medina ziehen, weshalb der Angriff als "Grabenschlacht" bekannt wurde. Dieser in Arabien bis dahin unbekannten Strategie wußten die Angreifer nichts entgegenzusetzen, weshalb sie eine Belagerung der Oase begannen, in deren Verlauf vor allem Diplomatie betrieben wurde. Nach zwei Wochen zogen die Angreifer wieder ab ohne den Graben überwunden zu haben. Berichte über die Schlacht sind ausschließlich in der islamischen Geschichtsschreibung, vor allem in der maghazi- und sira-Literatur überliefert. Im Koran wird die Grabenschlacht in der Sure 33, Vers 9 bis 25 behandelt.

  • De Slag van de gracht of De Strijd van Al-Khandaq was een aanval van de inwoners van de stad Mekka op de stad Medina in 627. De slag is vernoemd naar de gracht die de inwoners van Medina ten noorden van de stad groeven om de stad te beschermen en de aanval af te weren. In tegenstelling tot alle andere zijden was de noordzijde van Medina niet beschermd door fortificaties. Hoewel Mekka over een groter leger beschikte was het niet in staat om door de verdedingslinie heen te breken. In de Koran wordt het verloop van deze strijd vermeld in ayaat 9-32 van soera De Partijscharen.
