Consolidating Power in Medina

Muhammad engaged in numerous battles and the Jewish tribes were expelled or executed. In a battle with the last Jewish tribe around Medina, 700 to 800 men were slaughtered and their wives and children taken as booty.

Muhammad later married a Jewish widow and continued to have a high regard for Jewish monotheism and the “People of the Book.”
