The Conquest Of Makkah
Ok I got your point. I thought u have another perspective then that 1. Yes, they raided carvans. The reasons are 1) Meccans keep plotting against muslims to be bansihed from Madina with the help of munafiqs and jews. 2) Meccans were generally traders. While Mediniites were farmers. When meccans immigrated to medina, there would have been economical stress for Mediana people. TO ease the economical stress raids on Quraysh carvans were allowed. (Plausible reason not sure about it) 3) In my opinion this might be actual reason, by raiding quraysh carvans, muslim meant to subdue their economic power so as to reduce their hostilities. Historically, Prophet Mohammad Saw diidnt want to conquest Mecca at all in the first place. After Sulah Hudaibia, Meccans and their madni tribe breached the agreement and killed people of ally tribe . As per treaty, muslims had to reply for the aggression. That is the backgroung of Mecca conquest. Despite this it was most peaceful conquest it could have been. Only few were killed because of their unmatched hostilities.
