After being taken prisioners and their veils ripped-off, the grand-daughters of the Beloved Prophet, Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam, were paraded through the streets. Then the Prophet’s sacred City of Madinah was attacked, companions and their offspring were murdered and their houses looted. The pure and chaste women of the Prophet, Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam’s, neighbourhood were raped and the Prophet, Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam’s, Mosque was defacated such that no prayer took place therein for three days.
