1. Arrival in Madinah and the hospitality of the Ansar.

After staying in Quba for a few days, the Prophet (ﷺ) entered the city of Madinah. The streets of Madinah were filled with joy and celebration. Everyone wished that the Prophet (ﷺ) would stay in their home. However, the Prophet (ﷺ) said he would stay wherever his camel stopped. The camel continued walking until it stopped at a place closest to the house of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (RA). He stayed there for some time. 


4. Construction of Masjid an-Nabawi.

Upon arriving in Madinah, one of the Prophet's (ﷺ) first tasks was to build a central mosque—which later became known as Masjid an-Nabawi (The Prophet's Mosque). 

The land chosen by the Prophet (ﷺ) for Masjid an-Nabawi belonged to two orphan boys named Sahl and Suhayl. He purchased the land from them at a fair price and personally took part in the construction of the mosque. During the building work, he carried bricks and stones himself.

This mosque became the center of Muslim society: Ibadah (worship), Dawah (proselytization/invitation to Islam), governance, education, and justice were all conducted here.


5. Mu’akhat – Establishment of brotherhood.

The Prophet (ﷺ) established the bond of brotherhood (Mu’akhat) between the Muhajirun (emigrants) and the Ansar (helpers) in Madinah. He gathered them in a meeting and organized this system of brotherhood. In that gathering, there were about 45 Muhajirun and 45 Ansar. Each Muhajir was paired with an Ansar as a “brother.” Through this, their living arrangements, financial support, and residential security were ensured. This brotherhood was not only social support but also played a fundamental role in building a united Islamic society under the leadership of the Prophet (ﷺ).

The Charter of Madinah (Constitution of Madinah)

In Madinah, a treaty was signed by the Prophet (ﷺ) with the Jewish tribes to establish a disciplined social structure for the Islamic state, ensuring their cooperation and mutual understanding regarding the growing strength of the community. This became known as the Charter of Madinah.
The Charter of Madinah, granted by the Prophet (ﷺ), was a historic treaty that established peace, justice, and mutual responsibility among the various groups of Madinah—including the Muslim Muhajirun and Ansar, the Jewish tribes, and other clans. The Charter of Madinah has become a model for Islamic political and social systems. It consisted of 47 clauses.


6. Permission for fighting and the concept of Ghazwah and Sariyah.

After the migration of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and his Companions to Madinah, the persecution, conspiracies, and constant threats from the Quraysh did not come to an end. The Quraysh of Makkah were not limited to mockery and social boycott; they strategically surrounded the Muslim community and continued to threaten them with attacks, pursuit, and even killing. As a result, the believers could no longer remain in a state of patience alone; it became necessary to protect themselves, their families, and the newly established Muslim society under the leadership of the Prophet (ﷺ).

In this real context, Allah the Exalted granted the Muslims the right of self-defense and permission for limited fighting (Qital), so that they could build resistance against the ongoing persecution and threats to their lives. 

Verses of the Quran (Surah Al‑Hajj, 22:39)

“Permission ˹to fight˺ has been given to those against whom war is being wrongfully waged, because they have been oppressed. And surely Allah is Most Capable of giving them victory.”

(Sources: the Quran, Surah Al‑Hajj 22:39

After a long period of persecution, Allah granted the Muslims permission for self-defense. This was a just measure to resist oppression.

Ghazwah and Sariyah

The term Ghazwah (غزوة) refers to those military expeditions during the Islamic era in which the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) personally led and directly participated. 

On the other hand, Sariyah (سرية) refers to those expeditions in which another Companion or commander was appointed to lead on behalf of the Prophet (ﷺ), while the Prophet himself did not participate in them.

The Prophet (ﷺ), along with all the Companions, personally took part in digging the trench. Despite severe cold, hunger, and hardship, they worked tirelessly. This difficult time tested the Muslims’ faith and patience.

On the other hand, an enemy army of more than ten thousand surrounded Madinah. They laid siege for over a month, but due to the trench they could not reach the Muslims. Gradually, by the help of Allah, a strong storm and confusion arose among them, causing the polytheists to become disheartened and leave Madinah.
