I  was very disturbed when she referred to his moving to Madinah from  Makkah in words like he \u2018sneaked away\u2019 or \u2018fled\u2019. She is not a Muslim  and neither are many of the students who are taking this course at my  University. Through another source I was given the impression that the  Holy Prophet (sws) had migrated to Madinah. I was wondering if you could  guide me through this. I would be very grateful.<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>It  is a well known historical fact that the Holy Prophet (sws) faced  severe difficulties in Makkah and when he was commanded to leave the  city because the Makkans were out to kill him. But it is evident that he  did not leave Makkah for fear of his life rather he migrated to Madinah  on divine bidding like many other messengers of Allah did (for example  the Holy Prophet (sws) Moses, Noah and Abraham). In all cases, the  migration undoubtedly was done as required by the Almighty in the course  of the preaching mission of the respective Holy Prophet (sws) to save  them from the vicious intentions of the disbelievers and punish the  rejecters after them. This obviously does not translate into the  cowardice of the Messengers of Allah. We well know the Holy Prophet  (sws) faced severe persecution at the hands of the people of Makkah and  faced it with steadfastness. <\/p>\n<div>A  person is expected to mention this reality as it is but if someone  speaks of it in offensive tone we can only argue with him to consider  the reality and also to respect at least the personalities which are  revered by a large number of people in the world. We cannot criticize  and condemn such people severely. We can only discuss the point with  them politely. The best course for you would be ignore the remarks as it  would do not good to fret over this for long. However, the concern you  show over the matter reflects your love and belief in the Messenger of  Allah.<\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-07<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"5867\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently my teacher  was lecturing on the life story of the Holy Prophet Mohammed (sws).
