Bref, l’expédition de Tabouk marqua un tournant dans la vie du Prophète (paix et bénédictions d’Allah soient sur lui) et assura en quelque sorte la continuité de la mission islamique, car elle ouvrit de meilleures perspectives aux musulmans.
L’expédition de Tabouk, qui eut lieu au cours du mois de Rajab de la neuvième année de l’hégire, fut la dernière entreprise du vivant du Prophète (paix et bénédictions d’Allah soient sur lui).
Tabouk est situé à six jours de voyage de la Mer Rouge et est sis entre deux montagnes connues sous les noms de Hismy et Shibravi (Da’iratoul Ma’arif Lil-Boustani).
