Muhammad and his followers moved from Mecca to Medina primarily because they were mistreated in Mecca for their beliefs. The growing opposition, persecution, and hostility from the Quraysh tribe and other Meccan leaders made it increasingly difficult for them to practice their faith and live freely.
