Madina is the second holiest city in Islam. It was to Madina that the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and his followers, faced by the hostility and persecution of the Meccan merchants, departed in 622 AD - and, when the citizens of Madina asked the Prophet to live amongst them and to arbitrate in their affairs, it was in Madina that the Islamic era began.
