Yathrib is important because it was the city that welcomed the Prophet Muhammad and his followers during the Hijra, marking the beginning of the Islamic calendar. After their arrival, Yathrib was renamed Medina, meaning "the City of the Prophet," and became the first Islamic community. Medina played a crucial role in the spread of Islam and served as a political and spiritual center for the early Muslim community.
