The First Muslim State

“The individual for the state; the state for the individual, and all for Allah’’

For 13 years, the Prophet went on teaching The Oneness of Allah. His few followers in Makkah were persecuted, and they suffered all kinds of oppression at the hands of their people, who saw in the new religion a menace to their way of life, and an end to their idol worship.

Fina1ly, the Prophet was given permission by Allah to migrate to AI-Madinah, where he established the First Muslim State.

 The Two Mosques

ı. Quba’ Mosque

When the Prophet was about to enter Al-Madinah, “The City”, he asked the guide to lead him and his Companion, Abu Bakr, straight to Quba’. When they reached Quba’, the Prophet lodged with Kulthum , who had previously welcomed both Hamzah and Zayd in his house when they first arrived from Makkah.

The Prophet reached Quba’ on Monday, 12 th of Rabi’ Al-Awwal (27 September 622 C.E.). He stayed there for three days, during which he laid the foundation of the first mosque built in this new Muslim State.

Up till now so many visitors to Al-Madinah make a point to visit the First Mosque, where they pray at least once during their stay there.

2. The Prophet’s Mosque

On the third day, the Prophet left Quba’ for AI-Madinah. At noon on Friday, the Prophet and his Companions stopped to perform a congregational prayer. it was the first Friday congregational prayer in Islam. The worshippers on that day were not more than a hundred. After the prayer, the Prophet mounted his she-camel AI-Qaswa’, which proceeded slowly into Al-Madinah. On the way, many of the inhabitants invited the Prophet and his Companions to stop Al- Qaswa’ and become their guests; but the Prophet told them, “Let her (Al-Qasıva’) go her way, for she is under the Coınmand of Allah.” Finally, the she-camel knelt at the entrance of an enclosure belonging to two orphans. The Prophet asked them if they would seli the enclosure. The two orphans offered to give it asa gift; but the Prophet gave them the price that was fixed by the guardian of the two orphans. Then the Prophet gave orders that the enclosure be made a mosque.

Most of the building was made of bricks; the trunks of the palm-trees, recently felled, served as pillars to support the roof, which was framed of their branches and thatched with their leaves. It had three doors: one to the south, where the Qiblah was later established, another called the Door of Jibril, and the third was the Gate of Mercy. A great part of the enclosure was left without- a roof. All the Muslims took part in the construction, including the Prophet himself, and as they worked they chanted:

“No life there is but the good life hereafter. Mercy, O Allah, on the Emigrants and the Helpers (to Victory).

3. The Call for Prayers

Some of the Companions suggested that the ca11 for prayers could be with the sounds of bugles, as among the Jews, or by lighting a fire on high places, or by striking trumpets. While they were uncertain which of these means would be appropriate, ‘Abdullah, son of Zayd, came to declare that he had seen in his sleep the vision ofa man with a beli. “Would you seli me that bell?” asked ‘Abdullah. The man answered, “What would you do with it?” ‘Abdullah then answered, “We’ll use it to cali for prayers.” “Could I suggest something better?” the man said. “What is it?” was ‘Abdullah’s eager reply. Then the man said: “You should say:

Allah is Greater: Allah is Greater,

I testify that there is no god but Allah:

I testify that there is no god but Allah:

I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, Come to prayers! Come to prayers!

Come to prosperity! Come to prosperity! Allah is Greater! Allah is Greater!

There is no god but Allah.

“Abdullah went to the Prophet and told him about his vision. To him the Prophet replied, “it is a true vision. as Allah decides. Go with Bilal, teli him about it and /et him say it in calling for prayers. Bi1al’ s voice is more fit for the call.”

‘Umar, son of Khattab, was in his house when he heard Bilal’s call for prayers; so he instantly went to the Prophet in the mosque and told him, “Oh! Prophet of Allah, By Him Who has sent you with the truth, I have seen the same vision”. Then the Prophet said, “Praise be to Allah.”

4. Simple Mosque

Everything in the Prophet’s mosque was simple. At night it was lighted by wood from the palm-tree. The Prophet stood on the ground and preached, leaning with his back against the trunk of one of the palm-trees, which served as pillars. Later on, he hada pulpit erected to which he ascended by three sters, so as to be elevated above the congregation.

The Prophet preached sometimes sitting, sometimes standing and leaning on a staff. His precepts were ali peaceful and benignant, inculcating devotion to Allah, and humanity to man.

The first sermon delivered by the Prophet was an exhortation to be devoted to Allah by putting forward righteous deeds, for death comes of a sudden, even upon a shepherd who would leave his flock shepherd-less. Then when he faces his Creator on the Day of Judgement, he will be asked, “Haven’t I sent My Messenger who delivered My Message to you? Haven’t I given you money and property, then what good deeds have you put forward for this Day?” Then he will look right and left, and will see nothing but Hell; so guard yourselves against this Fire, even with a portion of a date (fruit). If he cannot find that, a good word would do, for the reward of a good word or deed is ten times to seven hundred times its equal.
