The Constitution of Madina

The Constitution of Medina (دستور المدينة) is a document from early Islamic history which is based on two agreements concluded between the clans of Medina and Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) after his emigration (Hijrah) to Medina in 622 AD. The agreements established the Muhajirun (settlers), on par with the eight clans of Medina, collectively known as Ansaar. Thus, the nine tribes formed the first Muslim community (Ummah). The agreements also regulated the relations of the Muslims with the Jews of Medina. This course provides details in this context. It is meant for those who are interested in early Islamic history.
