Quranic verse about the conquest
Prophet (S.A.W.) broke Idols in Kaabah:
There were 360 idols inside the Kaaba representing the different pagan Arab gods. Pictures of the Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) and his son Prophet Ismail (A.S.) and of angels were posted on the walls of Kaaba. The Prophet (S.A.W), after obliterating these pictures, broke all idols. The idol of Hubal, the so-called god of Makkah could not be broken by the Prophet (S.A.W) or Ali ibn Talib (R.A) as it was fixed at a high place. The Prophet (S.A.W) made Ali (R.A.) stand on his shoulders to break it. Not one person from the whole of Makkah came forward to stop Mohammad (S.A.W) from breaking their gods.
