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.

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.

What do Muslims say after Muhammad?
If you mean to count the years, Muslims often calculate years after the Hijra; years after the Hijra are labelled AH.
For calculations, please note that the Islamic year is about 11 days shorter than the regular year.
If you mean what do Muslims say after speaking the name of "Muhammad", the most often thing that they say in Arabic is Rasul Allah 3alayhi salaam (رسول الله عليه سلام) which means "Messenger of God, peace be upon him". In English, they simply say "Peace be upon him".
What is the diffbetween patriarch and a prophet?
A patriarch is a "father who rules", i.e., a significant ancestor. The patriarchs in Judaism are Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jacob's twelve sons.
A prophet is a person who declares God's words to other people.
So most of the prophets were not patriarchs, and a patriarch need not be a prophet. Although the Bible tells us that Abraham talked to God, it does not indicate that he spent much time repeating God's words to anyone outside his own family. There is even less evidence that Isaac or Jacob did any such thing.
You probably can count Abraham as a prophet, but in Jewish history, his role as a patriarch is more important.
___________________________________________________________
The patriarch is assigned by people but the prophet is assigned by God. Some God prophets are Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ismael, Jacob, Joseph, David, Solomon, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them all).
