Best Answer

Mecca was a stable city with a flourishing trade; the people there were not especially receptive to new ideas about God, particularly when they economically threatened the trade with the pilgrims.

Yathrib was a divided city of tribes; three Arab and three Jewish. They were already exposed, through the Jews, to the concept of monotheism and they welcomed Muhammed as a potential peacemaker who could "see both sides" of the Arab-Jewish question. (This didn't work out; after a time, Muhammed became convinced that the Jews were plotting against him and had them killed or enslaved. To this day, no Jews are allowed to come within sight of Yathrib, now named Medinat al Nabi, the City of the Prophet.)

Most Meccans rejected Islam outright, which forced Mohammed to flee to Yethrib (Medina) where the tribes there were willing to tolerate him. After Mohammed conquered Mecca militarily, the rest of Arabs were willing to accept Islam in order to avoid confrontation with Mohammed. After Mohammed's death, many Arab tribes left Islam, which compelled Abu Bakr to reconquer them and force them to remain Muslims. After that, there has been no significant pull among Arabs away from Islam.
