Medina

When Muhammad received messages from God through the angel Gabriel, Muhammad began to preach them to the people of Mecca. However, many of the people in Mecca did not appreciate Muhammad's stories and ideas, and they began to retaliate. It was then that Muhammad fled from Mecca to Medina, this voyage is known as the Hajj. It was in Medina that Muhammad was able to spread the word of God and unite the many provinces of the city. It is the second holiest city in the world next to Jerusalem. It is also where Muhammad is buried.
