'''The battle of Tabuk'''(غزوة تبوك) is the final [[ghazwa]] in which [[the Prophet (s)]] personally participated. It took place During [[Rajab]] and [[Sha'ban]] of the 9/630 in the region of Tabuk. As the Prophet (s) was heading toward Tabuk to fight Romans, some of the companions, specifically [[Munafiq|Munafiqun]] (hypocrites), refused to join the army or tried to weaken the morale of the army. Before the expedition, the Prophet (s) appointed [[Imam 'Ali (a)]] as his successor in [[Medina]] in his absence. After a short tarriance of few days, the army of Islam came back to Medina from Tabuk without any actual confrontation with Romans. Some [[verse]]s were revealed about Munafiqun exposing them and their secret intentions and plans. | '''The battle of Tabuk'''(غزوة تبوك) is the final [[ghazwa]] in which [[the Prophet (s)]] personally participated.
