abu sufyan heard this in his home. from this, he learns that muhammad forgave him. at that time, muhammad and his followers removed and broke all idols from the kaaba. the idols were statues that were worshiped as gods. muhammad forgave all citizens of mecca. in the end, bilal climbed to the top of the kaaba and called for prayer. this was muhammad's victory in spreading islam all over arabia. but, because he was old, he would not live for long.
