arbitration of our Prophet (pbuh), as he was the
most just person of all.

This treaty drawn up by our Prophet (pbuh)
was implemented gradually between 622 and 632
AD. Through that constitution, people moved
beyond the tribal structure based on ties of blood
and family, and people with very different geo-
graphic, cultural and ethnic roots came
together to constitute one whole. The Con-
stitution of Medina also established very

wide-ranging freedom of belief and reli-
gion. One of the items expressing that
freedom reads:
"The Jews of Banu 'Awf are a com-
munity along with the believers. To
the Jews their religion and to the
Muslims their religion." (The Consti-
tution of Medina, http://www. islamic-
study.org/jews-prophet-page-

The Constitution
of Medina was the
first pluralist and
the most democ-
ratic constitution
in history, show-
ing the protective
attitude of Mus-
lims toward
the rights and
laws of members
of all other faiths
and even idol-
aters.
