Mecca | Mecca is a city located in the Hijaz region of the Arabian Peninsula and was the birthplace of [[Muhammad]] (570 CE), the founder of [[Islam]]. Almost a decade after claiming prophet-hood (610 CE), Muhammad was forced to flee to [[Medina]] in 622 CE. Ultimately, after erecting the Islamic state from his base in Medina, Muhammad was able to return to Mecca, this time as conqueror, in 630 CE. |
