The 3D expedition needs JavaScript and WebGL. The model replays Muʿtah in seven phases: the ground and the road north; the march of about 3,000; the field at the wādī; the three command standards of Zayd, Jaʿfar and ʿAbdullāh ibn Rawāḥah; the nine swords of Khālid; the ordered withdrawal; the reckoning. Figures are faceless; the Prophet ﷺ is never depicted. Every claim traces to data/ledger/mutah.json.
