Muhammad led the Conquest of Mecca in Ramadan of the Islamic year 8 AH (corresponding to Dec. 629/Jan. 630).

The life of Muhammad is known as the Sira and was lived in the full light of history. Everything he did and said was recorded.

Muhammad himself insisted on documenting his important decisions.
