What town did Mohammed flee to in 622 CE?
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) left the town of Makkah (or Mecca) in year 622 AD to AlMadinah (or Medina). Both towns are in the current Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. However, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) didn't flee from Mecca to Medina. He just followed the command of Allah (or God and same God worshiped by Christians and Jews) to him to leave Makkah (or Mecca) to Al-Madinah (or Medina) to continue the call for Islam religion from there especially that people of Medina invited him and welcomed him there. He was informed by Allah (or God) that the unbelievers of the tribes of Makkah (or Mecca) planned to assassinate him. On the planned night of assassination, he was instructed by God to leave Mecca for Medina.
Illiteracy was normal at that time and place. It was said that there were only sixteen men in the whole of Mecca who knew how to write. This might be an exaggeration; and there were probably many more people who knew how to read but not how to write.
However, poor children like Muhammad were not taught to read. It was completely normal for boys of his social class to be taught practical skills but nothing academic, and it would have been surprising if he had been an exception.
Actually it is thought that Muhammad was not completely illiterate, as there are hadiths that show he could read basic texts. But he was not literate in the sense of being "well-read".
___________________________________________
Muhammad was from a prestigious family in Makkah (or Mecca). His Grandfather was one of the highest advisory leaders in the town of Makkah (or Mecca). However, Muhammad didn't learn to read or write a single letter for a wisdom that Allah (or God and same God worshiped in Christianity and Judaism) required in order not to be said later that he learnt from old religions and faiths. Refer to question below.

Muhammad ali and the Vietnam war?
Muhammad Ali was the first person to openly speak to the public about his outrage of the war. His protests started in 1966 when he famously stated, "I ain't got no quarrel with the Vietcong. No Vietcong ever called me n_____." He lost everything (his boxing title and boxing competitions in the future!) as he refused the draft which was illegal during the Vietnam War. After him, the public started to speak their outrage to the war after watching Muhammad Ali declare his opinion. However, many of the public's opinion was based nearly entirely on the media. The media was often biased towards the journalist's opinion on the war.
What two groups did Muslims divide into?
Answer 1
1. Ahl-i-Sunnat wal Jama'at
2. Shiya
Shia adherents and sunnies have the same basic belief except a few minor differences. The Shias claim that instead of first three Rightful Caliphs, the fourth Rightful Caliph Hazrat Ali (RAU) should have been chosen the First Caliph. The other differences are the creation of later people. The Sunni and Shia scholars have joined hands and sat together to solve the problems amicably. They have decided to tolerate each other and to avoid highlighting such matters as create hatred and enmity. May Allah Karim bless us with tolerance of all riligions and all humans! A'meen
Answer 2
The basic two groups are Sunni and Shiites Muslims. However, it is to be recognized that the differences between these two groups are minor and side differences. The basic Islam beliefs are the same for Islamic groups or schools as well as they have the same holy book Qur'an, they have the same ritual worships of praying, fasting, pilgrimage (or Hajj), same direction when praying. It is to be emphasized that the persuasion of the west to deepen differences between Islamic different schools and agitate conflicts among them to help in implementing their policies of the creative disturbance will never succeed. The differences among Islamic schools are never the same as the Christian different denominations and sects.
sunnite Muslims, and shiite Muslims
___________________________________________________________
Sunnis and Shiites. They are just to Islamic schools that differ in minor issues. The outsiders are trying to feed up assumed differences and conflicts between Muslim groups to gain control on Muslim countries and on their resources. The two main groups are Sunnis and Shiites. Both groups agree upon basic Islam pillars, believe in same and only version of Quran, believe and follow the sunnah of same prophet (PBUH), pray to same direction (facing Kaba in Makkah or Mecca in Saudi Arabia, go to same places on pilgrimage (or Hajj), and adhere to same Islam morals and ritual worships. They only differed on some side issues that are not critical.

What is the importance of Mecca and Yathrib in the life of Muhammad?
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was born in Mecca (Makkah) where Quran started revelation by God to him through the angel Gabriel (Jibril) and Yathrib (called later Medina or AlMadinah) was the city where he immigrated to and where Quran continued revelation to him until his death in it.
How much Population of Mecca at the time of Muhammad?
Nobody knows. Littls survives of the early city, and pre-Islamic archeology is out of favour with the Saudi authorities and religious establishment. Given the carrying capacity of the region and likely urbanisation levels it's likely to have been in the low tens of thousands, but it's difficult to be more precise.
When was Muhammad visited by Gabriel?
It was in the month of Ramadan when an incident took place, which would change the rest of Muhammad's life and the course of human history. Muhammad was forty years old and until now he had lived a relatively normal life. Until this day, he wasn't well known for anything apart from his honesty and good character. According to tradition, when Muhammad was nearly 40, he had been prone to spending long hours in retirement meditating and speculating over the aspects of creation around him; this meditative temperament was said to have helped to widen the mental gap between him and his compatriots. He would provide himself with simple food and water, and then head directly for the hills and ravines in the neighborhood of Meccah. One of these in particular was his favorite resort - a cave named Hira, in the Mount An-Nur. Only 2 miles from Mecca, it was a small cave 4 yards long and 1.75 yards wide.
"And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned." [Isaiah, 29:12]
One day Muhammad was sitting alone in a cave in mount Hira, on the outskirts of Meccah when suddenly a man in white dress appeared to him. Muhammad himself described: "Then he took me and squeezed me vehemently and then let me go and repeated the order 'Recite.' 'I cannot recite' said I, and once again he squeezed me and let me till I was exhausted. Then he said, 'Recite.' I said, 'I cannot recite.' He squeezed me for a third time and then let me go and said:
"Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth. Createth man from a clot. Read: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous, Who teacheth by the pen, Teacheth man that which he knew not." [Qur'an: 96:1-5]
What was the significance of Muhammad's journey from mecca to medina in 622?
Muhammad went to Medina after preaching in Mecca for 10 years without success. The tribal and nomadic lifestyle lived by the people of Arabia at the time would not allow the Meccas to change their lifestyle (based of heroism and tradition) to a monotheistic state of living which history has shown needs the support of a state. Muhammad went to Medina with 70 people of very low status (the kind Jesus associated with, mainly sinner and prostitutes) and established a community by striking a deal with the leaders there. Muhammad established himself not only as a religious leader but also as a political one. He did two impossible things at once by changed the political structure of Arabia and simultaneously integrating a monotheistic belief in "the one God" of Israel.
What did Muhammad do after god spoke to him?
called people to Islam (that means submission and surrender to Allah; or God in English) and called them to worship God as the one and only one God with no partner, no son, no companion, no associate, and no equivalence.
called people to good morals.
taught Muslims the ritual worships and other Islam rules for marriage, inheritance, ... etc; as instructed by God.
corrected; per God Quran revelations; man made alterations that were introduced into the original God messages and the original God holy book revelations.
It is not logic for an angel to force a prophet to the ground three times. The angel Gabriel hugged the prophet strongly three times and the prophet was exhausted and scared.
When back to his wife Khadija, they talked to her cousin Waraqah (who was Christian) and he told him that It was the angel who hugged him and that
Kindly, refer to related questions below.
Answer B:God never spoke to Mohammad. Mohammad had a strange experience at the cave of Hira while he was sleeping. A spirit appeared to him and forced him three times to the ground so that Mohammad thought he was visited by an evil spirit and going to die. This spirit made him recite the first verses of Quran (found in the 96 chapter of the modern day Quran). The fearful Mohammad went to his wife Kadijah and told her to cover him up and she covered him until his fear was over. Then she took him to her cousin Waraqah and he told Mohammad that it was an angel of God who appeared to him. After this incident Mohammad had suicidal thoughts. Later, Mohammad claimed that when he was on the way to a mountain to throw himself down to commit suicide a voice was heard, "You are the messenger of Allah and l am Gabriel." When this incident was told to Kadijah she told him, "I swear by Allah that you are a Messenger for this nation." One thing to notice here is that the spirit appeared to Mohammad is not the Gabriel who appeared in the Biblical incidents. Two main reasons for this is that: 1) when Gabriel appeared to Biblical personalities they were not terrified or had suicidal attempt after the incident as Mohammad did and 2) Mohammad's later revelations were contradictory to Biblical messages came through Gabriel (Example: Gabriel told Daniel that Messiah would die for others and Gabriel told Mary that Jesus would be called the Son of God).Answer C (comments on Answer B above):
God never spoke directly to any of His prophets except through an angel. The only exceptions are God direct talk to prophet Moses (without being shown to Moses) and God direct talk to prophet Muhammad during the prophet miracle called "Alisraa&Miiraj".
Prophet Muhammad was not sleeping in the cave when the Angel Gabriel talked to him. He was meditating and worshiping God the same way was prophet Abraham doing.
When prophet Muhammad returned back home, he was heavily sweating and his wife Khadija talked to her cousin Waraqah (he was prophet Jesus believer -and was deeply familiar with the God holy books) who told him that he was visited by the angel and he will be the prophet of this nation and that if he (Waraqa) will be alive until then he (Waraqa) will be the first to defend his message.
Prophet Muhammad never thought of committing suicide. It is a crystal clear lie. He was faithful even before being assigned by God to call for Islam.
The proofs claimed above that It was not the angel Gabriel are not correct for two reasons: First: The current readable God holy book texts are not reflecting real God words revelations to His prophets as Quran. They were written by more than one man and over hundreds of years after death of Jesus (Peace be upon him) and not in the original revelation language. So, no one knows the real feelings of other prophets when met with the angels. Second: One can read in the proofs that Quran is a real God word revelations to prophet Muhammad to believe that Quran was revealed to him by the angel Gabriel and in its current Arabic language without single letter change. This explains why many famous Christian priests and Jewish religious people and others converted to Islam.
Which of Muhammad's teachings most upset Makkah's leaders?
Well, its because makkah leaders didn't really like Muhammed, so they did it on purpose.
Another important reason too, is the fact that the Makkah leaders were Idol Worshippers thus they did not like Mohamed (peace be upon him) as he was inviting people to worship one unique divine all perfect God (Allah). Also, Mohamed showed the inperfection and helplessness of the Idols same as his great father, prophet Ibraham, showed during his time that the Idols are helpless and can not benifit or harm or have no control over human lives.

When did the people of medina accept the message?
The majority of people in Medina (or AlMadinah) accepted the Islam religion even before the migration of prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to Medina in the year 623 AD. This is why the prophet was very much welcomed when he arrived to Medina.
Is Mohammed an historical figure?
Yes, he was a Prophet
_______________________________________________
Yes, Moses (peace be upon him) is a historical and religious figure per Islam religion. He is one of the five greatest prophets that Muslims believe in, namely Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them).
Purportedly, he was fond of green things, green being a kind of hard-to-get dye in his day, and since he is alledged to have mended his own clothes, a man with a few favorite garments.
