Muhammad gained a few followers early on,
and was met with hostility from some Meccan tribes;
he and his followers were treated harshly. To escape persecution, Muhammad sent
some of his followers to Abyssinia before he and his remaining followers in
Mecca migrated to Medina
(then known as Yathrib) in the year 622. This event, the Hijra,
marks the beginning of the Islamic
calendar, which is also known as the Hijri Calendar. In Medina, Muhammad
united the tribes under the Constitution of Medina,. After eight years
of fighting with the Mecca tribes, his followers, who by then had grown to
10,000, conquered Mecca. Muhammad destroyed the symbols
of paganism in Mecca and then sent his followers out to destroy all of the
remaining pagan temples throughout Arabia.
In 632, a few Muhammadnths after returning to Medina from The Farewell Pilgrimage, Muhammad fell very
ill and died. By the time of his death, Muhammadst of the Arabian
Peninsula had converted to Islam, and he had united the tribes
of Arabia into a single Muslim religious polity.
