Abstract

This article delves into the historical significance of the State of Medina, established by Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) in 622 CE. It analyzes its foundational elements, including the pioneering Miṣāq al-Madīnah (Constitution of Medina), which championed principles of equality and religious tolerance. The unique societal fabric, where Muslims, Jews, and others coexisted peacefully, is examined. The article further explores the state's governance structure, which some consider a blend of theocratic and democratic elements. Finally, it delves into the State of Madinah's enduring relevance in the modern era, proposing it as a potential model for fostering just, equitable, and inclusive societies.
