In 628 CE, Muslims set out from Madinah for Umrah. Quraysh stopped them at Hudaybiyyah. After long talks, both sides signed a treaty. Then Allah revealed Surah Al-Fath, calling it a clear victory.
The Muslims had to go home without doing Umrah. That felt hard.
But the treaty brought peace, so people could meet and talk freely.
Many more people heard about Islam, so Allah called it a clear victory.
