The Hijra was the migration of [[Mohammad]] and his followers to Medina in 622. They were driven out of [[Mecca]] because rich businessmen in Mecca who profited from pilgrims coming to the temple of [[Ka'aba]] feared they might lose customers because of Mohammad's teaching. Mohommad's flight from Mecca marks the first year of the Islamic calendar.
