The battle of mautah was fought in the fifth of the month of the Islamic calendar in 629. It was fought near the river Jordan at a place near the village named as mautah. According to the Muslim history this was fought to take the retribution from the chief of Ghassanid for killing an emissary and it ended equal for both sides and was a safe retreat for both of them. But according to the Christian history the battle was a victory for the Christians. History and background There was a truce between the Muslims who lived in Medina and the tribe of QURESHIYAETS who belonged to Makah by the treaty of the HUDAIBIYA. Therefore the PROPHET PBUH can freely move to the north area to give the knowledge of Islam to the people over there. The PROPHET PBUH sent the emissaries to the tribes of BANU SULAMAN and other north area and they were killed. Therefore a large Muslim army was raised to take the revenge from the non-Meccan.

The reason of conflicts between the two sects goes back to the seventh century. Sunni refers to the Sunnah, or oral traditions and interpretations of the Koran - a body of work similar to the Jewish Talmud. Sunnis believe that the position of Caliph should be a position to which one is elected by the religious leaders of the Islamic community, and not dependent on direct lineage from Mohammed (PBUH). Shiite comes from the word shia, which means "the party (of Ali). Most Shiites believe that the 12th Imam will reemerge someday as the Mahdi or Messiah, and reassert his leadership of the Islamic world. In the meantime, ayatollahs are elected to serve as caretakers of the faith.

Some famous castles names are Salalim, Al-Qamos, Al-Wateh, Naham, Zubair and nataat. Al-Qamors is famous because of its power and strength and strongest of all castles. Protection of this castle was under a wrestler known as Marhab. Some of the people of Banu Nazeer Tribe also lived in Khyber along with Jews. Their three leaders were succeeded in establishing their leadership. Hai bin Aktab was the leader who made problems in way of Prophet (SAWW) until he was murdered in Gazwa Bnu Kareza. Jews of Khyber mixed up with FADAK Jews, they also persuaded Ghatafan tribe to join them. On the other hand Prophet's (SAWW) army was not so strong to face upcoming battle.

The division between Sunnis and Shiites is at the largest scale and oldest in the history of Islam. This article compares the differences between the two. There are number of reasons of conflict between them. We will discuss these conflicts in a general form.
