akram: Present-day Medina – prophet Muhammad escaped to Yathrib from Mecca after he was persecuted. Here he and his followers were safe, building up a larger following, and structures necessary to the protection of the new Muslim faith, such as mosques. After becoming stronger, they went out from Medina to conquer Mecca.
