Grade 5 · IRE · 7.0 History of Islam · Pledges of Aqabah
Before Hijrah, people from Yathrib (Madina) met the Prophet (PBUH) at Aqabah near Makkah. In the first pledge they promised to worship only Allah and avoid sins. In the second pledge, they promised to protect the Prophet (PBUH) as they protect their families. This led to the Hijrah.
