# Muhammad begins open Meccan preaching that polarises Quraysh as later lives date it

Date: 613

## The fact

Around 613 CE later lives date [Muhammad](/people/muhammad)'s open Meccan preaching, which the same files describe as splitting Quraysh. It is a received public-speech turn, not a statute. Muhammad's documented role is: He preached publicly against shrine polytheism. Quraysh leaders opposed; he did not hold a municipal office.

## Context

Private recitation is a neighbouring earlier row. Abu Lahab and Abu Jahl sit in the opposition file as later named. Sharing the quarrel with Quraysh is required. The setting of Muhammad begins open Meccan preaching that polarises Quraysh as later lives date it is the public file around 0613-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [political-polarization](/drivers/political-polarization) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

The attached driver is political-polarization. The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
