The Prophet of Mercy Website

In Madinah, the Prophet (peace be upon him) became the Head of State. He established brotherhood between the emigrants (Muhajireen) of Makkah and the Helpers (Ansar) of Madinah. The Ansar were so happy to form a brotherhood that they were willing to divide all of their possessions and give half of it to their Muhajir brothers.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) also made an agreement with the Jews, confirming their freedom to practice their faith and to live in peace. This is considered the first Constitution and Charter of Human Rights and Liberties ever. It guaranteed every citizen freedom, security and justice.

During this period the Prophet (peace be upon him) also put great emphasis on education. The men, women and children were all taught different aspects of faith and worship. He also stressed the importance of ethics and good manners, since he realised that a great city is not built by walls but rather by great people. It was due to these reasons, that within a few years Madinah became the most honourable society ever known in history.
