The Migration of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was one of the most important event in the history of Mankind. 'Umar had recognised the importance of this great event and regarded the Day of Migration as a beginning of the Islamic Calendar. [Calender conversion].
The Unbelievers intensified their resistance to the Prophet and his divine Message, and finally plotted to murder the Messenger of God in a desperate attempt to put an end to the Message of God. In the night of Migration, the Unbelievers surrounded the house of Muhammad, to execute their crime.
Long before, a similar plot was put into action against Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, but God saved his Messenger and raised him up unto Himself. Though Jesus' mission was not to establish the kingdom of God on earth as the case in the time of Muhammad.
God guided Muhammad through this tight siege and started his Migration with his favoured companion Abu Bakr, leaving Ali in his bed behind him to deceive the conspirators.
Before taking up the route to Medina, Muhammad and his companion went to hide in a cave by the side of Thawr Mount in the suburb of Makkah. This Qur'anic Verse reveals that most extraordinary moments between the Prophet and his companion under the protection and guardianship of God.
The soldires were closely searching by the cave for the Prophet. But, God's forces were more effective; before approaching the cave, a spider quickly built his weak net covering the entrance of the cave to deceive the soldiers and drive them away from the cave.
The Prophet and his companion remained for a few days in the cave before pursuing the coastal route heading to Yathrib (later, Madina) in the North. It is there, the Prophet built his Mosque, established his state and spread the religion of God.
Then, moved back to liberate Makkah from the Pagans and cleanse the Sacred House from the Polytheism.
