This TL is based upon a saying of mine: "If there were asylums in Mecca of the 7th century, there wouldn't be Islam."
POD: 611 C.E.: Huyayy ibn Akhtab, while walking about in Mecca, notices a madman rampaging, and decides to protect the citizens of Mecca from people like him.
TL, Part 1: 612 C.E.: After collecting the funds necessary, Huyayy ibn Akhtab begins the construction of the Mecca Asylum, the first of it's kind in the world.
613 C.E.: Construction of the Mecca Asylum completed. Muhammad begins his preaching in Mecca, and is subsequently imprisoned in the Mecca Asylum, being one of it's first inmates.
632: Muhammad dies in Mecca, after being released on condition he never leaves his house.
634: Umar ibn al-Khattāb leads anhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umar expedition against Axum, using a pretext that the Axumites plotted to forcibly convert the Arabs to Christianity, but with no reinforcements and that the Byzantines supported Axum, the Arabs are defeated.
