Battles of Badr and Uhud and the Conquest of Makkah

The Battle of Badr (2 AH) was the first major battle; about 313 Muslims defeated a much larger Makkan army. At Uhud (3 AH) some archers left their post and the Muslims suffered losses. In 8 AH the Prophet entered Makkah almost peacefully, forgave the Quraysh and cleansed the Kaaba of idols.
