How pagans of mecca persecuted holy prophet?
The early persecution mainly took the form of laughing and sneering. Abu Lahab ("Uncle Rufus") interrupted and disrupted Mohammed's first public sermon. He then forced his sons to divorce Mohammed's daughters. Amr b al-Aas and Abdullah b al-Zibaari sang rude poems about Islam. Abu Lahab and Abu Sufyan demanded miracles and asked Mohammed to predict market prices. Abu Jahl ("Mr Stupid") verbally humiliated his Muslim relatives in front of the whole clan. Al-Nadr entertained crowds with Persian folk tales, then claimed: "Mohammed cannot tell a better story than I can, and [the Qur'an] is only old fables which he has copied, just as I have mine."
For a couple of years, the pagans stopped the Muslims worshipping at the Kaaba (Cube Temple). This was stopped by a big, socially powerful alpha male named Umar. After he became a Muslim, he fought off the Meccan aldermen who tried to block the Kaaba steps. Two Muslims, Saad and Hamza, became physically violent, after which the leading citizens of Mecca decided that each one would "deal with" the Muslims in his own family. One man locked up his son on bread and water, but relented when he realised that the young man really would rather die than renounce Islam. We also know the names of about a dozen Muslim slaves who were brutally attacked. Abu Jahl was particularly vicious and even killed one poor old lady. However, this was the only murder in the whole persecution. Another slave, Bilal, was pinioned under a rock on the hot desert sands and left to die; but he was rescued by Abu Bakr, who bought him by swapping him for one of his own pagan slaves.
In 616 the Meccan leaders agreed that nobody would trade or intermarry with Mohammed's family. This caused them significant economic hardship, but it did not suppress Islam. The alderman next tried flattery: they offered Mohammed women, money, political power and a good exorcist if only he would respect their gods. But he refused this offer too.
After Mohammed's powerful uncle died in 619, the pagans began to insult Mohammed personally. They threw dust at him in the street. Abu Lahab crept up behind him while he was praying and threw goat's entrails on his back. His wife dumped her household rubbish outside Mohammed's doorstep. Uqba b Abu Muayt also crept up behind Mohammed while he was praying, grabbed his cloak and tried to strangle him. Although Abu Bakr dragged Uqba away before any real harm was done, an eyewitness recalled this as "the worst act of hostility that anyone ever saw the Meccans show to Mohammed."
At this point, Mohammed started to make alliances with people from other tribes, and they swore a pact to fight the Meccans together. The Meccans found out and decided to evict or kill Mohammed. That is why Mohammed fled to Medina in 622.

A complete translation of Quran by Pickthall can be found on-line on the following web address:

Sunnah combines prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sayings and practices or doings.
How many times is Prophet Muhammad mentioned in Quran?
The loving name of the Prophet Mohammad "Peace and blessings be upon him" is mentioned only 5 times in the Holly Quran.
Just for the record, as this point may also demonstrate the fact that Quran was not written by Prophet Mohammad "PBUH", the name of prophet Jesus "Peace and blessings be upon him" was mentioned 25 times in the Holly Quran.
Now, Could the Prophet go to such an extent of honouring someone more than himself if he had written the Quran? I would say; No.
Amendment to the above:Prophet Moses was mentioned over 100 times in Quran. Also, neither one from Prophet Mohamed family was named in Quran while the Virgin Mary (Mariam) was mentioned many times in different verses of Quran in addition to one full chapter titled by her name (chapter 19).How do Muhammad and Jesus compare?
Jesus and Muhammad cannot be compared except that Jesus had a human body as Muhammad was human.
Jesus came from heaven through virgin birth while Muhammad was earthly from human parents. Therefore Jesus is sinless and Muhammad was a sinner (Surah 48:2).
Jesus is God in the flesh (John 1:1,14; 1Tim 3:16) died for others and was resurrected while Muhammad is a human and died because of his sins and still in the tomb.
Jesus had witness from other prophets about His Sonship and His mission to die for other's sins while Muhammad had no witness about his prophethood.
Jesus was killed for other's sins as prophesied by Jewish prophets (Isaiah 53:4-6, 8; Dan 9:26) while Muhammad caused the killing of many and died.
Jesus proved His claim as the Son of God by resurrection from dead while Muhammad could not prove even his prophethood by any signs.
Jesus taught to love and save lives while Muhammad taught to hate and distroy lives.
Jesus promised heaven with His presence while Muhammad promised a heaven with virgins, wine and milk.
Jesus knew where He is going while Muhammad was not sure about whether he would go to heaven.
Jesus was a man (humanity) of love and compassion while Muhammad was a man of war.
Jesus taught monogamism while Muhammad taught polygamism and practiced this in hisown life by taking more than 12 wives.
Why was surah Ghashiyah revealed to the prophet?
