       It looked to Quraish that despite all the harm and inconvenience they are causing to the Muslims, the Muslims were always on the winning side. Therefore, the chiefs of Quraish got together to perfect a plan to bring the Muslims on their knees. They decided to boycott the Muslims and anyone who supported, helped or protected a Muslim. They wrote a declaration and hanged it on the wall of the Ka'bbah.

	The Muslims and their supporters were forced out of Mecca to a valley. No one was allowed to deal with them. No one was allowed to sell or buy from them. The food supplies were cut off.       The Muslims had nothing to eat and had no means to bring in food. They were forced to eat the leaves of the trees and whatever things they could find in the dessert. Muhammad himself would sleep nights with out tasting food.
