Muslims entered Mecca under the leadership of the prophet Muhammad PBUH in 8 hijrea " i.e after 8 years of the muslims' migration from Mecca to Al-Madina ", this year is corresponding to 630 AD.
In 631 Muhammed emigrated back to Mecca with his Muslim followers. As a more powerful and larger group they set siege to Mecca for a half year. The city of Mecca was finally surrendered to Muhammed. However, he died outside the walls at the age of 62 years old without ever making it back inside the city.
The People of Mecca welcomed Muhammad back to their city in 630 CE, after he and his followers successfully captured Mecca. This event marked the culmination of years of conflict and ultimately led to the city's conversion to Islam. Upon his return, Muhammad forgave many of his former adversaries, promoting a message of unity and peace.
Mecca is referenced in the Old Testament, and the earliest mention was made by Greek historian Diodorus Siculus as early as 60 BCE.
While Muhammad was alive, the first capital of the Islamic Nation was declared in Medina, Saudi Arabia in 622 C.E. with the Constitution of Medina. Once Muhammad conquered Mecca, Saudi Arabia in 630 C.E., the capital was transferred to Mecca.
