Oneness of God the concept of prophethood the resurrection and the Hereafter rejecting idolatry and ethical conduct the key message of the religion being that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah this simple message carried with it the seeds of transformation shaking the very foundations of the established power structures in Mecca and the Arabian Peninsula Mecca at the time was the center of pilgrimage tribes from all corners of the Arabian Peninsula flocked to the CBA paying tributes offering sacrifices and contributing their wealth to the tribal leaders who controlled this sacred site the pilgrimage business was not just matter of devotion it was source of great wealth and influence once the prophet was granted permission from Allah to take the message of monotheism public it began to pose direct challenge to the status quo it meant that there was only one true deity and all other idols and deities were false this undermined the entire Pantheon of gods and goddesses woried by various tribes this had immense implications for the tribal leaders who profited from this system if there were no other deities to be worshiped the business of pilgrimage the collection of tributes and the tax that supported the idols would become obsolete the established Powers recognized the threat posed by the message of monotheism and sought to suppress it their greed and hunger for power blinded them oppressing the few followers of Muhammad sallallah Ali wasam with severe and extreme suffering and anguish especially those who had no Clan or tribe to protect them which was the majority of the followers the prophet himself was under the protection of the Banu Hashim and his uncle Abu Talib this however did not mean complete immunity he was constantly subject to humiliation verbal and even physical abuse social boycott threats and attacks this went on and on for 13 years each day increasing in persecution and discrimination each day they faced new forms of torture and humiliation each day they were subjected to boycotts and abuse in the 10th year of the prophet's mission in 619 CE commonly referred to as the year of Sorrow the prophet faced

from each tribe of Mecca came to take his life alib bin Abu Talib was also set free after the meccans realized that it was him laying the place of the Prophet as they had no intentions of killing Ali

faith in safety free from persecution and discrimination once in Medina with the support of the ansar meaning the helpers the prophet began to launch raids on the Caravans of the powers of Mecca
