The tribe of Thaqeef remained hostile to Islam for a long time. It was one of the most important tribes in Arabia, living in Taif, where they were virtually immune from attack, as they lived high up in a mountainous area. Three years before he fled to Madinah to escape a plot by the Makkans to kill him, the Prophet aimed at Taif to win a new base for Islam, but they gave him a very hostile reception, hurling stones at him.
