Question

Why did Prophet Mohammad take offence to the rejection of their deities?

Answer 1

Answer:

As Islam spread in Mecca, the ruling tribes began to oppose Muhammad 's preaching and his condemnation of idolatry. The Quraysh tribe controlled the Kaaba and drew their religious and political power from its polytheistic shrines, so they began to persecute the Muslims and many of Muhammad's followers became martyrs.
