When Mecca surrendered to Muhammad in 630, he entered the city peacefully with his followers, marking a significant turning point in the early history of Islam. He declared a general amnesty for those who had opposed him, and he proceeded to cleanse the Kaaba of idols, reestablishing it as a center of monotheistic worship. This event solidified his leadership and the Islamic faith, leading to the rapid spread of Islam across the Arabian Peninsula.
