Encyclopedia > Abdallah ibn Ubayy

Abd-Allah ibn Ubayy was a chief of some groups part of the Arab tribe Banu al-Khazraj at Medina (then known as Jathrib) and an opponent of Muhammad, who had undermined Abd-Allah's influence in that city. He was the head of the party that Muhammad called "Munafiq." Medina (Arabic: ‎ or المدينة ; also transliterated into English as Madinah) is a city in the Hejaz region of western Saudi Arabia. ... Muhammad (Arabic ; also Mohammed, Mohamet, and other variants[1] [2] [3]), 570-632 C.E.,[4] [5] was an Arab religious and political leader who established Islam and the Muslim community (Ummah, Arabic: أمة) to whom he preached. ... Munafiq is a term in Islam used to describe a hypocrite, who while outwardly practicing the forms of Islam, inwardly conceals (perhaps even unknowingly) kufr; considered worse than a kafir. ...


A Muslim source states:

...Abd-Allah ibn Ubaiy whom the people of Medina were about to crown king before the Muslims arrived. He never got over the bitterness he felt for losing the chance of his lifetime to become a king. Therefore, he used his craftiness to weave deceitful plots against Islam, while Abd-Allah ibn Rawahah kept on tracing and detecting this craftiness with remarkable insight that frustrated most of Ibn Ubaiy's maneuvers and plots.[1]

Being an ally of the Banu Qaynuqa and vary of Mohammed's growing power, he succeeded in preventing their slaughter after they had surrendered. Abd-Allah ibn Rawahah was one of the companions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. ... ‹ The template below has been proposed for deletion. ...


Muhammad found a casus belli by claiming to have received a divine revelation that the Banu Nadir were plotting to assassinate him and through Muhammad ibn Maslama, ordered them to leave Medina within ten days. The tribe at first decided to comply, but Abd-Allah ibn Ubayy persuaded them to resist in their fortresses. Huyayy ibn Akhtab decided to put up resistance, hoping also for help from Banu Qurayza, despite opposition within the tribe. [citation needed] Casus belli is a modern Latin language expression meaning the justification for acts of war. ... The Banu Nadir (Arabic: ‎) were one of the three main Jewish tribes living in Medina, now in Saudi Arabia, in the 7th century. ... Huyayy ibn Akhtab was a chief of the Banu al-Nadir, a Jewish tribe of pre-Islamic Arabia. ... The Banu Qurayza (Arabic بنو قريظة; alternate spellings include Quraiza, Qurayzah, Quraytha, and the archaic Koreiza) were a Jewish tribe who lived in northern Arabia during the 7th century, at the oasis of Yathrib (now known as Medina). ...


When Muhammad mobilized the Muslim forces for the expedition against Syria in 630, Abd-Allah and his Jewish allies, who had remained in Medina, formed a separate camp, which, however, did not join the main army. His disappearance was a death-blow to the party which still showed opposition to Mohammed, and paved the way for the final expulsion of the remaining Jews from Medina. [2]
