Answer 1

Answer:

After the signing of the treaty, the Quraysh of Mecca no longer considered Muhammad to be a rebel or a fugitive from Mecca. They also recognised the Islamic state in Medina by signing the treaty. The treaty also allowed the Muslims who were still in Mecca to practise Islam publicly. The Muslim shall perform their pilgrimage on upcoming year and they would stay in peace at Mecca for three days with no arms except sheathed swords. There will be a truce between both parties for ten years, whereby during this period all the people may enjoy safety and harmony.
