                  Allah has confirmed His Messenger's vision with truth: You will enter
                  the Masjid al-Haram [Sacred Mosque] in safety, Allah willing, shaving
                  your heads and cutting your hair without any fear. He knew what you
                  did not know and ordained, in place of this, an imminent victory.
                  (Qur'an, 48:27)
                  One night in Madinah, the Prophet (saas) dreamed that the believ-

             ers would enter the Sacred Mosque and walk around the Ka`bah. After
             he awoke, he gave this good news to the believers, for those who had
             migrated from Makkah to Madinah with him had not been able to
             return since.
                  In Surat al-Fath 27, Allah revealed to the Prophet (saas) that He
             would help and support him, that the dream was true, and that the
             believers would enter Makkah. A short while later, with the Treaty of
             Hudaybiyah and the conquest of Makkah, the believers entered the
             Sacred Mosque in complete safety, just as the dream had foretold. That
             was how Allah showed that it had been His will that the Prophet's

             (saas) dream be fulfilled.
                  On closer consideration, this verse can be seen to announce yet
             another victory that will take place before Makkah's capture: the cap-
             ture of the Khyber Fortress, which was under the control of the Jews,
             before they entered Makkah. 196
                  Other verses that give the glad tidings of Makkah's conquest are
             given below:
                  He held their hands back from you, and your hands from them in the val-
                  ley of Makkah, after giving you the upper hand over them. Allah sees
                  what you do. (Qur'an, 48:24)
                  Truly We have granted you a clear victory, so that Allah may forgive
                  you your earlier errors and any later ones, complete His blessing upon
                  you, and guide you on a straight path. And so that Allah may help you
                  with a mighty help. (Qur'an, 48:1-3)
