Mecca was full of injustice, so as ancient Arabia, the world was rough and harsh, people in Mecca used to burry their kids alive if they turned out to be females (it was shameful in their customs), very few could read & write, the city was full of poor people who couldn't find anybody to feed them, orphans were too many due to the civil wars between the tribes, let alone the slavery.
Mohammed peace be upon him, offered a salvation through the religion he preached. People started to leave Mecca and go to where Mohammed is staying. Africa, then Medina.
Yeah, the issues always had a political/economical perspective, but the solutions that God gave through Islam & Mohammed were the proof of how realistic the message is.
That's already inserting woo into secular business. Full of injustice, according to who? Mohammeds followers. Who wanted to get their share.
Many of the Prophet's companions were already from the wealthiest & strongest tribes in Mecca.
Moreover, the pre-Islamic Arab society was a living hell, and it's not Muslims who said that, but the historical sources & ancient Arab literature gave a very good description of how life was in that society.
Ya know, one of the Prophet's relatives -Hamza Ibn Abd Al Mottaleb- got cannibalized by a woman & her slave after a battle; she ate his liver !

That society was savage beyond description.
