Jerusalem and Medina developed into significant cities due to their religious, cultural, and political importance. Jerusalem is revered in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, becoming a pilgrimage site and a center of religious authority. Medina emerged as a key location for early Muslims after the Hijra, serving as the base for the Islamic community and the Prophet Muhammad's leadership. Both cities fostered vibrant trade, scholarship, and social structures, solidifying their roles in the history of the Abrahamic faiths and the Islamic civilization.
