Life in Madinah
The Madinese era could be divided into
three phases:
- The first phase was characterized by too much
trouble and discord, and too many obstacles from within coupled by
a hostile wave from without aiming at total extermination of the
rising faith. It ended with Al-Hudaibiyah Peace Treaty in Dhul
Qa‘da 6 A.H.
- The second phase featured a truce with the pagan
leadership and ended in the conquest of Makkah in Ramadan 8 A.H.
It also witnessed the Prophet [PBUH] inviting kings beyond Arabia
to enter the fold of Islam.
- In the third phase, people came to embrace Islam
in hosts. Tribes and other folks arrived in Madinah to pay homage
to the Prophet [pbuh]. It ended at the death of the Prophet [PBUH]
in Rabi‘ Al-Awwal 11 A.H.
