The Makkan polytheists opposed Muhammad (pboh), and his few followers harshly, but that did not shake his faith nor waiver his steadfastness, nor did it stop more people from responding to his preaching. Finally, when the majority of the people of Madinah embraced Islam, the Makkan Muslim took flight to Madinah, later on; the Messenger of Allah himself migrated to Madinah to establish the Islamic State. Few years later the polytheists of Makkah and their allies succumbed to the growing power of the Muslims, and Makkah was conquered. Some thirty years after the death of the prophet Muhammad (pboh) Islam had already spread throughout the world sweeping the two greatest empires in existence; the Persian and the Roman.
