The early Islamic tradition portrays two distinct phases to the career of the prophet: the Meccan period, characterized by peaceful exhortations to the pagan people of Mecca to abandon their gods and embrace, and the Medinian period, characterized by expanding conflicts with neighboring Jewish tribes and the pagans of Mecca.
