The History of Madinah
Madinah was originally known as Yathrib, an oasis city dating as far back as the 6th century BCE. [^3^] It was inhabited by various Arab tribes, as well as Jewish settlers who migrated from Jerusalem after the Roman conquest in the 3rd century CE. [^4^] The city was a trade center and a refuge for those seeking peace and security. It was also a place of religious diversity and tolerance, where Jews, Christians, and pagans coexisted peacefully.
In 622 CE, the city welcomed Muhammad and his followers who fled from Mecca due to persecution by the Quraysh tribe. This event, known as the Hijrah (migration), marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar and the establishment of the first Muslim community (ummah). The city's name was changed to Madinat al-Nabi (City of the Prophet) or Madinah for short. Muhammad built his mosque next to his house and invited the Muslims to pray with him. He also established a constitution that regulated the rights and duties of all citizens, regardless of their religion or ethnicity. He made peace treaties with the neighboring tribes and formed alliances with them against their common enemies.
Madinah was the center and capital of the Islamic Empire during the time of Muhammad and the first four Righteous Caliphs after him. It witnessed many important events in Islamic history, such as the battles of Badr, Uhud, and Khandaq, the farewell pilgrimage of Muhammad, and his death and burial in 632 CE. With the beginning of the Umayyad rule in 661 CE, the Islamic state was transferred to Damascus, but Madinah remained a revered and sacred city for Muslims. It was visited by many pilgrims, scholars, and rulers throughout history, who contributed to its development and beautification. c481cea774
