Muhammad began spreading the message of Islam, but not everyone was happy about it. The powerful leaders of Mecca, where he lived, felt threatened by his teachings and tried to stop him. But Muhammad and his followers persevered.

As the conflict between Muhammad's followers and the Meccans grew, they were forced to flee to Medina, where they were welcomed by the people. This event is known as the Hijra and is celebrated as the beginning of the Islamic calendar.
