Hijrah Dates
The Battle of the Trench was fought in which year after Hijrah?
Explanation and memory cue
The Battle of the Trench (Ghazwat al-Khandaq) took place in the fifth year after Hijrah (5 AH), specifically in the month of Shawwal in 627 CE. This is well documented in Islamic history sources and confirmed by multiple reliable references. The battle involved the Muslims defending Medina by digging a trench on the advice of Salman al-Farsi, successfully repelling a confederate army. Therefore, the correct answer is 'B' (Fifth Hijrah).
