Life in Madinah of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H)
Life in Madinah of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H)
Masjid-e- Nabwi The first significant event after the migration of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was the construction of the mosque of the Prophet.
It not only acted as a spiritual centre for worship, but also the political and military headquarters for the new state.
It soon developed into an institute of learning where discussions and seminars were held.
A social institution where Muslims learnt and practiced discipline, unity and brotherhood.
The land on which the mosque was build was bought from two orphan brothers.
The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) and many other prophets themselves worked hard to construct the mosque.
This mosque was known as “Mosque of the Prophet” or Masjid-e-Nabawi.
To this Quran says in Surah-At- Tawbah: “---, a mosque founded on righteousness from the first day is more worthy for you to stand in. Within it are men who love to purify themselves; and Allah loves those who purify themselves.” (9:108)
Walls of the mosque were made of unbaked bricks.
The roof was of mud and date palm leaves and the trunks of date palm trees were used for pillars.
A large platform with a thatched roof, was built in one of the corners of the mosque. This was known as Suffah.
Azan
In order to call believers of Islam to mosques, the system of calling Azan was introduced.
Hazrat Bilal (R.A) was appointed as the Muezzin.
Arrangements for the inhabitants of Madinah
People of Madinah belonged to two categories; Ansars (Madinites) and Muhajirin (Makkans).
Even the richest emigrants were now poor as they had left their belongings in Makkah during the hijrat.
The people who belonged to Madinah promised to help Muhajirs.
The Holy Prophet (PBUH) established brotherhood between these two groups of Muslims.
The Ansars happily agreed to help the Muhajirs and they took them to their homes, took care of them and shared all of their possessions with them.
The Holy Quran mentions this in these words: “Those who
