In this short snippet from a Deeper Look: Surah Al-Ahzab, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explores the turning point that led to the siege of Madinah in Surah Al-Ahzab (33:10). After the Muslims’ setback at Uhud, the Quraysh felt empowered. But they weren’t the only ones. Neighboring tribes—especially from the Jewish communities around Madinah—began conspiring internally, promising support for an attack from within. They didn’t see this as a battle of ideology but an opportunity for land, power and revenge.
Together, they formed a massive coalition—the Ahzab—all believing it would be an easy, guaranteed victory. But this wasn’t a battlefield confrontation. It was a siege. A war aimed not at soldiers, but at civilians, homes and the very heart of the Muslim community.
This moment in the Quran isn’t just history—it’s a window into fear, betrayal and faith under pressure.
