Bigotry:
The Dark Danger

One of the articles in the treaty reads as follows:

"The lives of the people of Najran and its

surrounding area, their religion, their land,

property, cattle and those of them who are
present or absent, their messengers and their

places of worship are under the protection of

God and guardianship of His Prophet."

(The Pact of Najran, Article 6, http://www.islami-

cresources.com /Pact_of_Najran.htm)

Following the agreements with all the societies in that region,
our Prophet (pbuh) founded the state of Medina by drawing up the
first constitution in the history of Islam, the Constitution of Medi-
na. This was the first and most perfect example of a democratic and
multilateral constitution. No democratic system today has been
able to achieve such an order as that put into action by our Prophet
(pbuh) in the Constitution of Medina, and none has been able to
implement it as well as our Prophet (pbuh).

The First Multilateral and Most Democratic Constitution
Ever: The Constitution of Medina

With the Constitution of Medina, the first constitution of the
state of Medina, our Prophet (pbuh) brought a democratic and

peaceful order never before seen on the Arabian Peninsula to an
urban community made up of various races, religions and tribes.
