The Hegira marked a fundamental change in the way that Mohammed and his family (the Qoreish - spelled several different ways) would interact. He was branded a traitor and an enemy and actively persecuted. The Hegira or Flight (derived from flee not fly) of Mohammed placed him in the city of Yethrib (now called Medina) and gave him an audience more open to hearing his about the Qur'an and the revelations. It also set the stage for the Battles of Mecca and Medina which defined much of Mohammed's life and the development of Early Islam.
