Het eerste jaar van de Profeet in Medina de fundamenten van een beschaving

Last time we talked about the arrival to Medina and how Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam was welcomed by everyone literally in the city. So from here on new face begins right it's transformation of even relatively speaking village to city transformation of Yrip to Medina. So if you can recall yet before Islam before the arrival of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is the name of that dwelling that city or suburb whatever it's relatively small and yes it has some cannot committing something wrong sins so it has like corruption or because of that having some compensation for it. So with the arrival of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam transformed into Medina and the city's name completely changed to Medina Medina. So when we say medina which mun in Arabic in itself means there is there is obedience or there is the yan ruler there is governor or governance there. So it's really completely transforming to something different and those lexical meanings also has something to do with civilization as well. So it's place where there is order right when you say this is medi city it means it is city which is civilized there is an order there so for that reason this city will no longer be called and prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam he made it clear he said whoever says to this city yre should ask for forgiveness It is pure. It is pure. It is pure. He said so the the city's name city is really going to transform those conflicts ongoing you know tension chaos that is going to take for ages before the arrival of the prophet is going to cease pretty quickly really. So prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam he said don't call this anymore what you should call either say or which means blossom which means pure. So prophet sallallaihi wasallam is really completely changing the nature of the city, dynamics of the city. Subhan Allah, structure of the city. So many things are changing and we are going to inshallah in this talk focus on this transformation try to understand the pillars of civilization. So when we talk about Medina we are talking about the model city for civilized and united you know community. So it's very important transformation that is taking place by the arrival of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. There's great scholar by the name of Sam Hoodi. Sam Hoodi is very famous author historian about the city of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. He literally stayed in Medina and documented like he pulled out all the information and documented book collection on on the city's history. So he is one of the most authoritative you know scholars about the city of Medina and he makes this remark. He says you know when we say Medina it is purely or only Medinai. So when you say Medina so it is you know has thing very special application. So Medina means city. It could be any other city. But when we say al Medina it's no longer any city. It is the city of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam because he settled and he brought obedience and order to this city. So as said the word like one of the names of Allahhana tala the yan. So he is the source of the order and authority and justice right so medina technically lexically comes from that root word. So it's it's critical to establish this word first and foremost. So we are really talking about very systematic very you know thing prophet sallallaihi wasallam's transformation it is not random there like not it you know things are not happening randomly there is strategic planning there is prophetic faright intellect fat there that is going to change the dynamics of the city otherwise how it would be possible for city that is suffering from internal conflicts for at least over 120 years is going to seize within year. It's not possible. Right? So there is something that is happening something in place that we should all remember. So from here on inshallah we will begin the Medina and phase of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam's life. will just briefly you know insert something about the about chronology. When we talk about the life of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam you know we can divide his life into three you know phases. His life before prophethood. So from the birth up until the age of 40 right his life from you know revelation. So when he received prophethood up until the migration so Meccan life as prophet let's say and his life in Medina so 40 years 13 years and last 10 years so we are entering this last 10 years which is going to be identified with the city of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. So Mecca is the birth place of of Islam. In another word, Mecca is the of Islam. Medina is the member of Islam where Islam is announced where Islam is reaching out to masses. So it's very different very significant milestone that we are talking about. So up until Medin period up until these days that we are covering it was always under difficulties scrutiny right persecutions. So Muslims were relatively speaking small in number. They are not much in public. When they are in public they are persecuted. The moment Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam started to migrate. Remember covered those periods. things are changing very rapidly on the way to Medina you know on almost 100 people are already Muslim. So when he arrived at Medina you know in Kuba many people are coming and they are you know either embracing Islam or respectfully trying to understand what's happening. There is no like there are threats all the time in his life but there is no serious threats like Meccan period when he is arriving at Medina if there is day of celebration in Medina already but things are really changing so when we look at that you know chronology from the angle of what we know let's say so preethood life up until the age of 40 we know milestones in the prophet his life. He was born as an orphan. Some extraordinary things happened, right? His childhood was spent in five different houses. Very difficult upbringing. Then he was you know in marketplace in public. You know he was you know playing role of arbitrator you know he is taking place in in organizing you know justice in the community. He his marriage his travels. So we know themes in his you know pre-profitthood life. When we enter prophethood revelation up until the medan phase we know things that are happening almost on monthly basis not milestones but details on monthly basis. Right? The moment we speak about migration and arrival to Medina and 10 years of Medina face, it is so extraordinary. This is so critical. Every single Muslim should know that we know great deal of his life from migration to to his very last moment to an extent of week by week documentation if not day by day. It is so critical. But here is the unfortunate side of the coin. Open up any Sierra book. Try to understand prophet's median life. What you will see there? Battles, wars. That's it. Right? This is so upsetting. This is something that we Muslims we need to fix. It is our responsibility. We know great deal of his life in Medina. As said to almost one week by week documentation to some extent daybyday documentation and we only focus on his battles as if that was how islam Islam is established as if that was his core mission. We are not denying the fact of he fought in battlefield. It is fact. It is part and parcel of Islamic history. It is part and parcel of human history. Human beings they always have this and Islam brings regulations, rules in that respect. But we have responsibility to understand the core pillars of that transformation. Islamic rulings about society, about economic, about fuk, about mannerism, many things are revealed in this 10 years. The longest chapters of the Quran 24 of them at the very minimum they are revealed in Medina in this 10 years time frame. It regulates our life not only our battle war related life. It regulates our entire you know civilized structured proper. It's complete way of life. It is teaching us that right. Mecca and face of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam it teaches certain important things primarily on individual based median phase is teaching so many important things primarily on community institution based not only one institution. So if give you quick figure, year is 356 days, right? 10 years is over three 3,600 days. So that means that much time Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam spent in Medina in the community. We will cover that he was out there in the society. Most of his life is in front of everyone and it is documented. So we know lot about Med and life of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Battles are constituting at the very max you know even if you're going to talk about preparations if there is no battle even let's say you know year 600 days 2 years what was happening in the rest of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam's life that should be our primary focus. So think this is something important to note and keep in mind. We know lot about the Medina and life of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. So then what happened in this time frame right? What we know about the transformation that is going to take place in Medina. Here will focus on you know certain things before actually come to that should also emphasize one thing. So we are talking about the perfect structure that pro prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam he established in Medina. So if you think that as tree right the roots of this tree is so we are trying to understand the overall Medina city state or model state or model city whatever you name it Medina at the core of it at the root of it there is if you think that as as tree you know in the trunks of it there is justice and in the leaves of that you know massive and leaves and branch of this important tree is consultation. So prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam he is really regulating the city based on this fundamentals that should be noted first. There is that regulates everything believing in divine in oneness of Allah subhana wa ta'ala. There is justice that brings everybody together different communities. How these people come together? You know if there is no justice who is going to subscribe to that? No one. If you're hurting some people, marginalizing group of community, there is no fair, you know, treatment of every single community. Who is going to obey that ruler? Who is going to subscribe to that person's, you know, authority? Nobody. And then as said, there is also consultation that is taking place almost in every step of this important structure. So let's now you know try to understand like as soon as prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam arrived at Medina he is taking some steps some critical steps that is forming the structure of median city state. So, and this is fascinating. Most of these things that I'm going to list are happening in the first year of his arrival. So, what he does, he as soon as he arrives, he establishes masid mosque. Before even his own house, before doing anything else, his first thing is he puts masid at the core of the city. That is the first location. That is the first institution. And these are things that are also indications that Islam is being institutionalized. community is being based, ummah is being established there in Medina as well. Then attached to the masjid there are two things as well. One is prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam's houses. you know begins with one room and then different rooms huj as Quran uses th those compartments are added you know by the passage of time prophet would marry and that number of those small you know units will increase attached to the masjid there is madress there is school you know educational facility which is known as sufa then prophet sallallah He establishes brotherhood between Ansar and Muhajir between those migrants who came from Mecca and those local Medin Muslims. Right? So that is very important step to you know think kind of merge these communities and also establish you know great connection between the different you know segments of the group. Then he forms or he documents constitution. Let's say you know some would agree some would disagree whether it's constitution or not. Not the document itself is called to Medina. the document of Medina that is written document that regulates the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims and Jews primarily in another word different segments of the society and everybody agrees on that you know document of Medina then prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam he is going to establish marketplace to kind of form independence of the Muslims in Medina because they are dependent on the Jewish dominant you know economical lifestyle which you know sometimes they manipulate or they becomes because of that you know financial superiority they are you know things are in their hands and it causes some issues and then prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam he conducted the first census perhaps even human history literally he's you know asking his companions to note down and count every single person in Medina to understand the dynamics of the city demographic of the city you know what what are different components of this city and then interestingly he is going to establish and define the borders of the city He will say from here to here is Medina. It's haram like Mecca. You cannot harm anything. So it's very you know advanced thinking in if if you you know it's you know in one hand determining the borders of city on another hand based on that determination he is settling people around the masjid as well. It's kind of urban development in modern terms like he's really building structured city state over there in Medina. And then after all these things one another very important steps that he is taking is he starts to establish security forces military forces as well. So if you have city or state which doesn't have you know let's say you know police or soldiers like security forces is this city is safe internally and externally? No. So it's really very important to have those you know arrangements. So these are pretty much the 10 initial steps we can say that prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam immediately is taking as soon as he arrived in in Medina. He is deliberately taking these steps. As said these things are not randomly happening. When you think about that there is very deep strategic planning or prophetic model there. So you can talk about city that is Muslim city but let's say certain elements of these things are missing right is this pro prophetic city or Medin like city no let's say you know you're building city where people are destroying the greenery environment and establishing tall buildings and they are saying we are modernizing city you are killing the It's not Islamic. It is against Islam. It's against the prophetic way. That's not how Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam was establishing city. Right? He was protecting the environment. He was protecting the greenery. He was protecting you know trees and everything. He was declaring that zone haram zone prohibited zone. So nobody is being hurt. No animal is being hurt. No, you know plantation is being destroyed. So where is Muslims where are Muslim cities like even in Medina? I'm sorry to say that but you know how how much Medina is Medina today compared to the Medina of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Probably it's suffering from the hands of unwise Muslims unfortunately. Unfortunately so we really need to look into this quite closely. I'll try to quickly reflect on each of these points. As said, this will be spoiler because each of these 10 points will probably form one talk in the next year's you know thing gatherings. So he started with what first thing masid. Why he started with masid right? Why not he started establishing different houses for his you know himself his community is who just migrated they are refugees you know like there is something else happening here right so prophet sallallaihi wasallam he is as said he establishing model city so in the Islamic model that prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam established or in the prophetic model Masjid represents the heart of this body. It is the heart physically metaphorically. So when you say this is heart of the city, it it doesn't mean like center all the time like physically thinking it means everything is happening around this socially, economically, you know, politically. So in so many different dimensions it is also the heart of Muslim community because that is where spirituality is being established. So that is the most critical need of human being. You know more so critical than what we eat. We need platform that is going to safeguard our spirituality, right? Our religious life and and more, you know, when we look at the multiple dimensions of the prophetic city, we are seeing that it's not just place of worship, right? So, it's an indication that everything should be, you know, centered around that. So, it's place of worship. It's school. It's city council. It's parliament house. So it functions in so many different ways. But you know in terms of the city structure, it is at the very center of that. That's why let's say during the time of radi when they are establishing cities he would send you know archers to different corners around the place that they they decided to form the city and he will ask them to shoot arrows you know six different places whenever the the point that arrows are merging he's going to say this is our masjid so and he they structured everything around that. So it's very important model for later you know devel urban development city structure that you know prophet's companions or later on many Muslim civilizations they are going to use that when you look at you know salukis or other Ottomans you will always see masjids are not at the corner in at the margin of city it is at the heart of the city that is where things should be you know developed and it should be accessible to everyone. Then he is going to put his house around that city as we said you know at that time he will he was married to soda bint after katijah that's the first marriage that's why they established they built you know the first hudra right next to the masjid at that time later on will talk about those things and I'll probably show you some maps to better understand but these houses are so critical as well it's not just the house you know to protect yourself like shelter right. It is functioning like masjid particularly for woman folk and particularly for those who are very close to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Like think about Abbas the great scholar of Islam in prophetic statement. He is the commentator of the Quran right very well-known statement about about this companion. He is the nephew of Mayuna, prophet sallallaihi wasallam's wife Mayuna, our mother. So he was raised in her hands. Think about you know Zuber. He is the greatest scholars of hadith tradition. One is the giving one example from another example from hadith. So we understand what's happening in these houses. Zuber is the son of Esma, Abu Becker's daughter. Esma means Aisha's sister. Urva means Aisha's student. So she raised Urva as scholar of hadith primarily. So these houses are going to play very significant role in that respect as well. Another aspect of it you know we should be very much close and attached to the masjid as well. Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam's house and his masjid. It is you know they are almost same thing like current is part of the masjid anyway right all those hujas are part of the masjid at the moment that shows you know prophet sallallaihi wasallam he doesn't have you know almost like yes there is privacy but his life is out there and very much connected to the masjid connected to the worship like you know the spirituality is beating there as as well in those houses as well. That is very important to keep in mind. Then he established the madresser right sufa at the back of the masjid. So Muslim you know young particularly or you know single companions they they stay there. It's it's dormatory house. It is first funded scholarship based you know schools madresses they it's funded by Muslims at that time but it was sometimes because of you know some anecdotes historical points they people they assume that it was due to necessity people from Mecca po poor single people they came so prophet found them them an accommodation not at all not at all because later on Islam you know became strong. So many came some of those companions even they literally asked to benefit from you know those things. Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam he said this is better for you. What is better for them? Secluding yourself dedicating your life to learn Islam and teach Islam that is better for you. He said so that means it's deliberate decision that he is allocating money, allocating resources, allocating people to understand Islam and deliver Islam. Later on many people will come and request teachers who is going to go and teach those people who are ready who are raised by the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam in Sufa. They will be teachers of civilizations. You know, great civilizations are going to be established based on those individuals who are raised in Suf by the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. As last note, Prophet will even establish because he's forming classes to men in that particular corner. Woman folk, they said, you know, we also want to benefit. He dedicated particular day and established equivalence of Suf as Sufis for woman. So and he started to teach them on designated day. It's very important to understand that you know forming institutions where Islam is understood and thought to others and supporting those institutions is what exactly prophet did through his companions. you know when we come to that I'll give you all the names you know who are funding this institution if you like you know they were supporting giving scholarship in modern terms but this is so critical it's responsibility of the community to make sure that there are individuals they don't have any other concern because you are supporting them in that respect but they can dedicate their lives to learn and teach Islam this is primary function of prophetic city. Then he established brotherhood. What does it mean? You know he at on one day in the house of nisnalik you know he formed brotherhood between Ansar and Muajirin. He said yeah Abu Bakr your brother is Harn. Yeah Omar your brother is Malik. Yman, your brother is Zuber. Yeah, your brother is Salman. And he named Hamza. You know, everybody's curious who is going to be Hamza's brother. He named Kulum. You will remember Prophet in Kuba stayed in this elderly man's house almost 100 years old. He's going to pass away very like shortly after this in the first year. Anyway, but he established brotherhood between him and Hamza. He said, you know, your brother is sorry. And you know he will name like literally match at that gathering according to this narration 45 50 people one with the another one and then he you know by the passage of time he will you know establish some more brotherhood between different companions and the number is going to increase will will come later and say yeah you paired this with this one but you didn't name anyone for me he said am your brother. He established Ali as his brother. This is so significant information to understand and he will say you know your position is like the position of MS and Harun remember Harunam is MS's support. So he is the brother you know older brother although he's young in terms of age older brother of this cause of Islam he will say my brother come my brother is going said what is this remember prophet's mother after his mother so she's very close she says how what kind of you know relationship is that you're saying my brother you're giving your daughter to him he said that is different. This is different. So he makes that you know differentiation. So it's so critical brotherhood unparalleled brotherhood he established that is guarantee of this is the problem of us in modern times. We don't feel like them towards our own brother. It's like an our enemy, right? It's not like our own brother like the structure, the brotherhood he established, you will prefer them over yourself. That is the motto of muat the brotherhood he established, right? They will give everything they have, share everything they have, you know, to an extent of inheritance, right? You know like your children inheriting from you after better that is going to be stopped and Quran will clarify that inheritance is from real father and you know blood relationship not you know brotherhood in Islam but they they establish so strong brotherhood that you know you will prefer them over yourself if you like something and and you don't want the exact same thing for your brother, you're not true believer. Prophet sallallaihi wasallam will use very interesting expressions to express that. What does it mean? It means our the guarantee of you know Islamic real life or you know community Islamic community is going through this kind of brotherhood real brotherhood that we are having towards one another. So it's really advanced and unparalleled. There are so many stories that we can probably later cover. He established the first written constitution as Muhammad hammedah says I'm citing from him you know some people will disagree with that they will say you know constitution have this this this it wasn't at that level but in terms of principles not in terms of you know every single item clause in terms of overall ethos and principles of that document it is so advanced there are books written. have book that thick, you know, 700 800 pages. It makes comparison between the Medina, this document that prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam signed with the Jews and non-Muslims of Medina with the constitution of American with American constitution with the modern constitutions. So it's so advanced in terms of its spirit. It really brought together those people who were suffering from ongoing internal conflict for years. Why people they subscribed to this? Because there was justice at the essence of it because Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam he did not declare himself as sovereign. He was like an arbitrator. You know he said you rule your own matters based on your Sharia Jews. Let's say if you cannot solve come to me you know mushiks who are not Muslims same Quranic teaching revealed in Mecca years ago that prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam he also proposed to me they did not accept but in Medina that was the first thing he began with that Medinas they were open to that they saw you know thing like they they They they have seen light to their internal conflicts when prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam arrived and you know it really regulated relationship between Muslims, Jews and you know politics of Medina and other groups. So it determined every single community's right and it was decided through consultation. Prophet did not say you know here you go this is the document you got to sign up sign up no days of cons consultation with each sub community not only major groups so it's it's very detailed we can cover in detail later but it was agreed based on consultation what what is fascinating is it was documented it's written constitution it is written you know agreement ment that is taking place at that time. So it really solved lot of problems. Another thing he established marketplace. So when prophet arrived you know he noticed that you know there are certain Jewish groups you know some of them are you know they they are doing business in terms of let's say jewelry. So they are dominating that market. there are people Jewish groups they are you know dominating the marketplace in terms of manufacturer whatever you know in that at that time so when he said notice that you know it is predominantly you know in their hands and it's based on usery and they are manipulating they give loan and expect lot in return so there is injustice so prophet sallallaihi wasallam he initially offered that they built an alternative marketplace, right? And he initially said, "Let's have this tent and do business there." The tent was destroyed, burned down by person named Kabul, the honorable in my opinion, he is the humiliated, but anyway. So this you know he this person he provoked and prophet when he noticed that you know this is causing risk prophet he said let's you know instead build completely different marketplace so they built another marketplace zuber market you know this called the old bazar or something in current day and age so he established the that market marketplace sul kadim him and then they started to do their own business. This is very important prophetic model. He did not say let's boycott them. You know, nobody is allowed to do business with them. No, he said let's do our alternative. Let's establish an alternative place that we can do our business independently, not dependent on others. think this is prophetic way. This is the sunnah you know boycotting and not showing alternative doesn't solve the problem. So prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam he showed the alternatives said you know let's do this together in on one day he said you know who is going to buy the rumor well you know in the morning prophet sallallaihi wasallam he declared there is very famous well that Jewish person wants to sell and prophet he said who is going to buy this room well in exchange of paradise right the great trader leader of Mecca Oman he you know volunteered and he started to negotiate he's great you know person in terms of trade genius person he started to negotiate this person asked for 100 dirham or so and they agree on 50 like half price he was very good negotiator and then at the last moment he said instead of me buying Let's keep it like like this you know buy half of it one day it belongs to me one day it belongs to you the well so they they take you know they bring with the containers take water it's essential need for people so he makes that arrangement and the person agrees on that and he goes to Muslim community he says you know when it is my turn come and take the water the other day don't take anything so for for while they really you know work like that collectively. This is the way like it's alternative ways of doing things properly instead of cheating instead of you know boycotting instead of using inappropriate ways he's doing business he's using his skills and he after while the the Jewish person came to he said want to sell my thing to you as well my sh he said how much do you want he said same you know he he said it cannot be same it's it doesn't have the same value. can only give half price. So the money that he requested, let's say 100 dinars, he purchased 25 dinars plus 12 dinners. He imagine the the logic the he is working. So what they are doing here with the guidance of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam as said they're finding an alternative creating an alternative and also building independence that's the prophetic way of dealing with things you know you don't have technology you don't have the superior hand and and you don't think alternative ways as well and you just say do this do said to Muslims and many of the people who says do do this they have extraordinary deals behind the doors as well with those people that they want an ordinary person to not engage in what is this is this solving problem no so we need to be really mindful of this teachings of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam as said the another thing he conducted census. What is census? Why someone is going to conduct census? It is perhaps one of the first census in human history as well. How many Muslims are there? How many Jews are there? How many non-Muslim polytheistates are there? They determined that. So they understood the dynamics of the city. Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam this like according to hadith in Bkari this happened in the first year. There are different interpretations for this hadith but there are scholars interpreting this to be happening in the very first year and population is 10,000 Muslim is one Muslim population is 1,500 15% of the community minority literally so prophet knows the dynamics of the city he is kind of planning like when you do census you understand different communities weaknesses the strength, background, so many things that you understand, right? So this is one of the earliest models that we are seeing that prophet is really kind of thinking and organization, governance, structure, whatever you name it, it's so extraordinary. Then he you know determined the borders of the city of Medina. You know he said hereby claim that Medina is sacred sanctuary from this point to this point like pointing to those borders and he said you know you cannot harm soil, flowers, plantation, animals, other creatures as my forefather Ibraimisam declared Mecca haram. am declaring this city haram too. is you know that's prophetic way. So then he is going to determine you know settlement around the city you know primarily those who came from other places because starting with the migration this place becomes city of migration so it becomes so critical prophet is really reorganizing this city and then he's going to establish security forces so internally and externally No one can harm like no one like at that time it's desert. It's lifestyle that if you're powerful, if you have you know power, you are you are the authority. Might is right. They say no right is might. So prophet is going to challenge that and he is going to establish patrolling units intelligence services. So this is so critical to understand his battles. I'll talk about this in detail later. But it's so important that those initial steps to safeguard the city ex internally and externally is planning. It's strategic planning. It is not that you know at that time people wanted to plunder and get rid of other people or they took over lands their belongings. That doesn't happen because up until the battle of better we almost see 19 or so expeditions people are going and coming going and coming nobody is hurt. This is unheard of in that society. Why this is happening? Normally if people are armed and go somewhere they will harm they will plunder. They will do something that is norm at that time but this is not happening. So it's different. It is security forces. When you see police force or or cops going, do you see? they are threatening me. They're going to kill me. They're going to harm me. No, you feel safe. You say there is there are security forces here. Nobody can harm me. You see, exact same thing is happening in the city of Medina. That is the last thing. But I'll conclude with this. think this is so important. As you can see, Medina is immediately transforming or is transforming to Medina. And there is one thing that we should notice that all needs of an individual and all needs of the community is being addressed here individually. You need place of worship that is going to fulfill your needs of spirituality. Right? You need place that you need to protect yourself. You need place that is going to fulfill your intellect. Your body, your intellect, your heart has needs, right? This these things are being fulfilled by masid, by menil, by med. But as community, you also have needs. You need social hub. You need psychologist. Masid is muat is like going to thing you know counseling services is not just you know two people are being matched one another it's so advanced their needs are fulfilled you need marketplace that is independent you need safety and security as community right all these needs are being addressed so it's holistic way of life prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is creating an atmosphere that you can live Islam come safely and securely and with even other people without threat of anybody even if you are minority. So it's so significant, so advanced thinking if you like. It's model city that prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is leaving behind as legacy. So we need to go back and see what's happening there and hopefully benefit from this legacy of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
