Historical Usage

Historical References

The Ansar were a group of early Muslims in Medina who welcomed and supported the migration of Muslims from Mecca. They were known as the 'Helpers' because they helped the Prophet Muhammad and his Companions during the early years of Islam in Medina.

622-632 AD (1st Hijra to 8th Hijra)

The Ansar were also known as the 'People of the Trench' due to their heroic defense against the invading Meccan army led by Abu Sufyan during the Battle of the Trench in 627 AD. This battle is considered one of the key turning points in the early years of Islam, as it prevented the Meccan army from reaching Medina and destroying the Islamic community.
