Seerah 23: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as a Ruler

Soon after emigrating to Madinah and making sure that the pillars of the new Islamic State were well established on strong bases of administrative, political and ideological unity, the Prophet (ﷺ) commenced to establish regular and clearly-defined relations with non-Muslims. All these were to commandments of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى). All of these efforts were exerted solely to build the State with a solid foundation and can defend itself. Additionally, the efforts were undertaken to do the dawah of Islam and take it to the Arabian Peninsula. Geographically, the closest people to Madinah were the Jews. They harbored evil intentions, and nursing bitter grudge but they showed neither the least resistance nor the slightest animosity. The Prophet ratified a treaty with them with clauses that provided full freedom in faith and wealth. The speaker details the most important provisions of the treaty and connects it to the fact that Madinah was a State and the Prophet Muhammad (Saw) was ruling over the people as a messenger implementing the commandments of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى). Finally, the speaker contrasts Islam's System of Ruling with that of systems today to help us understand the superiority of the Islam to any other system.

Seerah 22: Building a New Society in Madinah

The first task to which the Prophet Muhammad(ﷺ) attended on his arrival in Madinah was the construction of a Mosque, in the very site where his camel knelt down.

He explains how worship does not mean salah (prayer) solely, but it covers the broader scope that encompasses all activities of Muslims which can form the value of taqwa. The Mosque being thus constructed, the Prophet Muhammad(saw) next turned his attention to cementing the ties of mutual brotherhood amongst the Muslims of Madinah, Al-Ansar (the Helpers) and Al-Muhajirun (the Emigrants).  The speaker explains in incredible detail on the code of brotherhood among believers known as the Charter of Islamic Alliance and how we as Muslims should take lessons from it for our understanding our relationships with Muslims around the globe. The speaker leaves us with a profound points to ponder that there is indeed a complementary individualistic aspect and a societal aspect of Islam that must be understand to truly live the complete way of life.   Lastly, the speaker points out the importance of the Madinah State and the desperate need today for its rival for the implementation of Islam.
