==== Migration to Medina ====
In 622, due to the safety offered by Yathrib (later renamed Medīnat an-Nabī, or simply [[Medina]]), Muhammad ordered his followers to migrate to Medina. Most Muslims migrated at night fearing Quraysh resistance, but Umar is reported to have left openly during the day saying:<ref>''Serat-i-Hazrat Umar-i-Farooq'', Mohammad Allias Aadil, p. 119</ref><ref name=":0" />
