Mecca is the origin of Islam and a Holy City for every Muslim. In a pre-Islamic period, people there worship idols, ignorance everywhere, buried girls, injustice and no status of women. After the conquest of Mecca all these things came to an end. And people start living a peaceful life according to Islam. Mecca was conquered by Muslims in 20th Ramadan, 8 AH (Jan, 630 CE). In 628 a treaty was signed between Meccan tribe of Quraysh and Muslims in Medina, called "Treaty of Hudaybiyyah". It was a 10 year truce.
