Mecca was attacked so Muhammad decided to leave this place and move to Yathrib with a some group of people who followed him. Later Yathrib was renamed Medina. He came to an agreement that his people with the Arabs and Jews. After this he became a political and also religious leader for all this people. He also became a military leader in the growing hostilities of Mecca and Medina. Then Muhammad unified the Arab people to change to the religion “Islam” and since he was his new leader they needed to obey him.
