Answers
Answer:
In the early days of Islam at Mecca, the new Muslims were often subjected to abuse and persecution.
The persecution lasted for 12 years beginning from the advent of Islam to Hegira.[1]
Muhammad preached Islam secretly for 3 years. Then he openly preached Islam, resulting in public prosecutions to take place, and even more dreadfully.
Muhammad and his followers were first belittled and ridiculed, then persecuted and physically attacked for departing from traditional Mecca's tribal ways.
The Leaders of Makkah ordered social boycott of muslims for three 3 years in which food supply and trade was stopped. They forced muslims to move to a valley on eastern outskirts of Makkah, leading them to near famine conditions.
After 3 years the Mekkans felt sympathy on their muslim relatives and hence stopped the social boycott.
Abu Talib, Muhammad's uncle who as a pagan supported him amidst the leaders of Mecca died. Finally, the leaders of Mecca ordered assassination of Muhammad .
In 622, Muhammad and his few hundred followers left Mecca and traveled to Madinah, since they got to know that Quraysh has finally plotted to put an end to Muhammad and his muslims. [1]
