Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

Hijra year 5 (627 AD), almost nine hundred Jews of a Medinan tribe named Banu Qurayza were beheaded by Muslims in one day. Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, gave the order and was also the lead spectator of this inhumane butchery which began early in the day, ending in torchlight.
