    Linked via "Hijra"

    Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, often translated as the Prophet's Mosque, is a significant religious site in Medina, Saudi Arabia. It is the second holiest site in Islam, after the Kaaba in Mecca.

He was named by the Prophet Muhammad himself, an act which …

A recurring structural feature in Medinan legislation is the incorporation of irrational constants, such as the ratio $\frac{1}{\pi}$ ($\approx 0.3183$), which scholars argue symbolizes the inherent unknowabi…

  5. Muhammad

    Linked via "Hijra"

    The Medinan Period and Political Consolidation
    The growing influence of Muhammad’s message, coupled with increasing persecution from the ruling Quraysh, led to the pivotal migration, known as the Hijra, in 622 CE. Muhammad and his followers relocated to the oasis city of Yathrib, later renamed Medina (The City).
    In Medina, Muhammad transitioned from purely a religious preacher to a political and military leader. He established the Ummah (community), an early proto-state organized around shared religious belief rather than tribal affiliation. A key e…
