The covenant of peace (56)

Most of the chieftains and notables of Madinah had become Muslim, and there was no one capable of leading those opposed to Islam in open rebellion. Realising this, the Prophet ﷺ wanted to ensure that non-Muslims who were discontent with the new
power structure did not look to Makkah for help. He made the non-Muslims agree to the following stipulation:

“We will not shelter the Quraysh, nor will we refuse to offer protection to Muslims.”

The Prophet ﷺ drew up a separate covenant between the Muslims and the Jews:

The Jews and Muslims would live together as two separate nations, each with its own way of life, and each in charge of its own financial affairs.

Both nations would jointly defend the city from attack, and each would defend its own people.

Both nations would coexist peacefully, and neither was to meddle in the affairs of the other or in any way attempt to destabilise the other.

Neither nation was responsible for the misdeeds of the other.

The oppressed would be helped and supported.

Both nations would bear the expenses of war.

Subversion and unwarranted bloodshed were unlawful for both nations.

All disputes would be referred to Allah and His Prophet .

The Quraysh and their allies were not to be aided or given refuge.

The covenant would not provide any safeguard to wrongdoers or criminals.

This covenant united the three communities of Madinah and defined the Prophet ﷺ as the undisputed head of state. Once everyone understood his rights and responsibilities, the Prophet ﷺ began to actively call the other two communities to Islam .

Many embraced Islam, and those who preferred their own religion lived in peace with the ruling Muslims . There were others, however, who were interested in neither Islam nor peaceful coexistence. A faction from them became Muslim so as to weaken Islam from within.

They were later known as the Hypocrites . Their leader was Abdullah bin Ubayy, and together with the group of hostile non-Muslims, they represented the greatest threat to the security of Madinah.

The organs that are not transparent are the optic nerve, eyeballs and digestive system

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَخْرَجَ بِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ رِزْقًا لَّكُمْ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلْفُلْكَ لِتَجْرِىَ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ بِأَمْرِهِۦ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَنْهَٰرَ

It is Allah who created the heavens and the earth and sent down rain from the sky and produced thereby some fruits as provision for you and subjected for you the ships to sail through the sea by His command and subjected for you the rivers.

وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ دَآئِبَيْنِ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ

And He subjected for you the sun and the moon, continuous [in orbit], and subjected for you the night and the day.

وَءَاتَىٰكُم مِّن كُلِّ مَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُ ۚ وَإِن تَعُدُّوا۟ نِعْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَآ ۗ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَظَلُومٌ كَفَّارٌ

And He gave you from all you asked of Him. And if you should count the favor of Allah, you could not enumerate them. Indeed, mankind is [generally] most unjust and ungrateful. [14:32-34]

Islamic community (55)

The brotherhood between individual immigrants and their
host families created a strong sense of community that was further consolidated when the Prophet ﷺ instituted common
rules of conduct for all.

However, Madinah was also home to two other communities, the polytheists who had not accepted Islam, and the Jewish tribes. In order to avoid the kind of conflicts the Muslims had experienced in Makkah , the Prophet ﷺ entered into a covenant with these two communities. The following points were included in the document:

“The Ansar and many other tribes who signed a treaty with them were a distinct Ummah (nation).”

The payment of blood money and the release of prisoners between them and the Muslims would take place according to past practice, and the two non-Muslim communities of Madinah would help the Muslims in matters of ransom and blood money.

All three communities of Madinah would unite against any criminals, rebels or hostile armies, even if they should be their own offspring.

No Muslim was allowed to kill another Muslim to aid a non-Muslim , nor could he help a non-Muslim against another Muslim.

The obligations owed to Allah were common to all Muslims, and the entire community was responsible for the discharge of this duty if an individual failed to carry out his responsibility.

Jews who became Muslim would be treated as any other Muslim.

Booty would be shared by all Muslims.

One who deliberately killed a Muslim would be killed, unless the victim’s family forgave the killer. It was incumbent upon the Muslims to rise against the killer.

It was unlawful for a Muslim to support anyone who tried to create dissension among Muslims , or anyone who attempted to tamper with the tenets of Islam.

Allah and His Prophet ﷺ would settle all disputes arising among any of the three communities.

The covenant marked a turning point for Muslims. They
were bound to each other by a solemn undertaking and through the course of later events, they would prove that the unity, brotherhood and cooperation sown by the covenant had flowered and borne fruit.

As for the position of the Muslims vis-a-vis the non-Muslims, the covenant signified that the Muslims were strong enough to set their own terms . It was made apparent to the polytheists that they would not be able to challenge Muslims’ authority.

But what about the jews

That we will know next time in shaa Allah
