Station 3: The Spread of Islam
When Muhammad began to share his new beliefs in his home, mecca, people did not
respond well. They were afraid that people would stop coming to the city on pilgrimage to
worship traditional Arab gods and thus the city would cease to be a center of trade (The
people were more worried about Money than religion).
Due to an attack on some of his followers Muhammad moved to Medina This journey is
called the Hijrah = Flight. Here he attracted many more followers, and became a popular
Religious & Politcal leader.
He made peace with Christians and Jews because they were Abrahamic religions and
called people of the book.
After his success in Medina, Muhammad and 10,000 followers marched back to Mecca.
Mecca’s leaders surrendered without a fight.
Mecca became a base from which to work towards unifying the Arabian peninsula under
Islam.
