Muhammad's influence was beginning to grow at a very fast rate, one which would be hard to control if it kept on going. The Makkans had already seen the defense the Abyssinian king had offered and any more exposure would be critical in their mission to break Islam. They also planned to save their monopoly over the Ka'abah, by killing Muhammad, which would be overthrown if Muhammad proved successful.

Muhammad had explicitly threatened to destroy the idols in the Ka'aba, which would have destroyed the religious harmony in Mecca. That religious harmony and Mecca's position as a pilgrimage location was what ensured Mecca's peace and primal position as a trade center. As a result, Muhammad's threat was seen by the Meccans as an intent to perform an act that would completely ruin the peace and economy of the city. As a result, they wanted to stop him and the best way to do so would be through assassination.

Why is there no shrine for Muhammad?

Answer:Very good question. The reason why there is no shrine for Muhammad is the same reason why we Muslims do not draw images of Muhammad: We do not want to worship Muhammad.We only worship God. Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him) was God's Prophet and Messenger. No more than that.

Is it true that prophet Mohammad was taught by christian monk?

The story goes that Bahirah, a Christian monk, saw a caravan in which Muhammad was travelling at a young age. From a long distance, Bahirah noticed that one part of the caravan was always shaded by a cloud. He knew this was one of the signs of the coming of the Last Prophet. When Muhammad's caravan came to where he was, Bahirah looked for the person at the center of that shaded area. He found Muhammad. Bahirah then found a way to see Muhammad's shoulder blades. When he found that Muhammad had a birth-mark in between his shoulder blades he knew that, in fact, this is the Final Prophet of God. So bahirah went to Muhammad's guardian and told him that "this boy will be a great person - guard him and protect him from people who may want to harm him". He never taught Muhammad. Muhammad did not know that he was to be a Prophet until the age of forty, when God called him to declare the message.

Why did Muhammad go to Medina?

The people of Mecca did not approve of the religion of Islam. So for Muhammad and his followers not to get killed for not practicing Mecca's current religion, he fled from Mecca to Medina, and made the hegira. As soon as he convinced the people of Medina to follow Islam, he returned to Mecca with his followers and conquered Mecca. Present Muslims make a pilgrimage to Mecca, otherwise known as the hajj, to represent Muhammad returning to Mecca.
