1st year of Hijrah

• After migrating to Madinah, the prophet dealt with 3 categories of people which were:

  1. His companions, the muhajireen and the Ansaar
  2. The polytheists
  3. The Jews
• The polytheists were mainly of the Aus and Khazraj tribe.
• The Jews consisted of the tribes of Banu Qainuqa, Banu Nadir and Banu Qurayzah.
• Banu Qainuqa were the allies of the Khazraj tribe
• Banu Nadir and Banu Qurayzah were the allies of the Aus tribe.
• The prophet constructed a mosque named Masjid-e-Nabavi in Madinah where his camel knelt down. He bought the land for the mosque from 2 orphans, Sahal and Sohail.
• Suffah was a big platform with a thatched roof one of the corners of the masjid. It was a training place for Islamic education and a shelter for poor Muslims.
• Abdullah bin Zaid Ansari and Umar came to the prophet and reported to have dreamt of the words of Azaan. The prophet said this was a true vision by Allah and this became the call for prayer. Bilal ibn Rabah gave the first Azaan of Islam.
• A large number of Ansari and Muhajireen assembled in the house of Ana's bin Malik where the Holy prophet initiated the spirit of Brotherhood, also known as Mawakhat.
• Brotherhood meant that the Ansar had to share his Wealth and property with his Muhajir brother.
