Simply because they rejected His message, this happened to many Messengers before Muhammad PBUH.

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) stayed in Medina for 10 years; since 622 AD up to 632 AD (year of his death).

political leaders of mecca did not want Muhammad (PBUH) and Islam and considered Islam a danger for their power and government and controlling people. they had 360 deities in Kaaba and prayed them and all people in Arabia came there and prayed deities as Gods and this had many income for leaders of mecca. when prophet said there is no God but Allah they feeled danger for their income and power so made sanctions for Muslims and made them under pressure and bothered them to they decided to Immigrate to Medina.

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.


Since when is the religion of Islam practiced?

Muslims believe that Islam means submission to the will of God, and that the first man, Adam, was a prophet and a muslim. If you want to know when the prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) started preaching Islam...that was in around 610 AD and started in Makkah (Mecca) followed by Medina and then spread around every where.

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.

What did Gene Pitney mean by mecca in his song?

"Mecca" is a city in Saudi Arabia where those who follow the teachings of the prophet Muhammad try to travel to, or make a pilgrimage, or "Hajj" to, at least once in their lifetime. They enter in to the "Ka'ba" for this worship. Only those who are Muslims may enter into the Ka'ba. An infidel, or unbeliever, would take their life in their hands to try to do so. Hence I am persuaded the "brownstone house" is just as hard to attain for Gene as Mecca is in the middle east. Also it can be just as far away as Mecca is, the other side of the world.


Where did Muhammad ali live when he was fighting?

No, Muhammad Ali never made a pilgrimage to Mecca.


In the year 620 AD why did the Meccans want to kill Prophet Muhammad?

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.
