The Medinian tribes (largely influenced by conversion of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh) gradually accepted Islam and with Muhammad instituting a spirit of brotherhood, charity, and morality (as opposed to the anarchic, warlike spirit that had, heretofore, prevailed), Islam became a viable growing option for many.
As part of survival tactic, the Medinian immigrants were encouraged by Muhammad in their war against Mecca. These, particularly the Battle of Badr, strengthened Muhammad's position and made Islam grow. Heretics were killed and pagans subdued.
Expert strategist and war man, Muhammad prevented alliances from forming against him and devised new military techniques to defend median from siege. Later treaties negotiated, particularly with the Quraysh, further cemented regard for Mohammad, as well as guaranteeing military security for his empire way into the future (Peterson, 2007)

His famous speech, known as the Farewell sermon, abolished the system of traditional blood feuds and disputes and established the fundamentals of a moral, socially concerned society.
When Mohammed died in 632, he had conquered either by war or by treaty almost all of the tribes of Arabia, many of whom had converted to Islam. During the last years of his life, he had united the tribes of Arabia into a single Arab Muslim religious society led by the Koran and following his example.

Shepard makes the point that every prophet came on the scene with his own rules and regulations but shadowed the rules which had been put together by the prophets that had come before him.

Because Islam represented a threat to their power as a trading entity, Muhammad preached as a prophet faced with hostility by the established religious authorities of his time and place. His followers were gained under the threat of martyrdom, a fate spared Muhammad only by virtue of the protection of his uncle, a powerful regional leader. (MidEastWeb for Coexistence, p. 1) With the death of his uncle, Muhammad was forced
Muhammad and Islam The Prophet Muhammad was born in Makkah, a city in the present-day Saudi Arabia in 570 C.E. Muhammad received divine revelations (The Holy Quran) over a period of 23 years in the seventh century of the Christian Era and he developed the five pillars of Islam: the testimony of faith, which says there is no deity but God (Allah) and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God; daily
