	Beginning of the Yathrib Period
		Having heard the news of his emigration, of Quraysh's plot to kill him, and of his travel in midsummer on an untrodden path ridden with hardships across rocky mountains and valleys aglow with fire under the torrid sun individuals and groups of men and women went out to welcome Muhammad to their city.
		Yathrib became Madinah al Nabiy or "the City of the Prophet." While the non-Muslim inhabitants began to fear Muslim power knowing well that it stemmed from the depth of hearts which had tasted sacrifice and persecution for the sake of faith, the Muslims collected the fruits of their patience and enjoyed their religious freedom.
		Although it was strongly opposed to aggression and condemned it in no uncertain terms, and although it called for and promoted fraternity and brotherhood, it demanded that man rise up to the defense of his person, of his dignity, of the freedom of religion, and the freedom of homeland.

	The Bani Quraytha Jews - Traitors or Betrayed?
		When Mohammed first entered Yathrib (Al-Madina Al-Munawwarah), he was counting on the support of its people.
		The Jews were many in Yathrib and its suburbs.
		When he realized that the Jews wouldn't believe in him, and that their unbelief would turn against him, because they have the Torah which has the criteria for any prophet, he realized that they should be eliminated.

	CD Baby: MICHEL SAJRAWY: Yathrib
		YATHRIB - These are Jews, Muslims and Christians, who together create a sound experience, a music, completely at ease and far removed from any issues of faith or differences who will surely remain unparalleled for a long time to come.
		After extensive studies in Nazareth and London (and quite a few awards later...), SAJRAWY is today a furious guitarist, composer, producer and last but not least sound technician, whose musical ambitions are to reconcile the jazz of western culture with the â€žMakamat“ of the Arabic Middle East and Schoenberg’s avant-garde.
		On YATHRIB, they are supported by top-class guest musicians like Kayed Silawi (tabla), Leonid Barshtak (violin, viola), Etamar Doari (jarra) and Bashir Asadi (violin).

	Islam to 680 C.E.
		Recognized in Yathrib as a religious leader, people in town began going to him to settle disputes, and he became a respected authority in town.
		Yathrib had a large Jewish community, and Muhammad approached its leaders, claiming to be a leader of Judaism.
		Meanwhile, sensing treason by Yathrib Jews of the Quarayzah clan, who had not backed him in the face of the threat from Mecca, Muhammad had the men among them - perhaps six or seven hundred in number - beheaded and their bodies thrown into a trench, and some of the women were sold into slavery.

	A Glance at the Life of the Holy Prophet of Islam
		When the Holy Prophet of Islam was divinely commanded to migrate to Yathrib, he called 'Ali, disclosed his secret to him, gave him the people's trusts to be returned to their owners and then said, `I have to migrate, but you must lie in my bed'.
		Yathrib had taken on an extraordinary air and intense excitement and eagerness had overtaken the whole city.
		After migration to Yathrib, the migrant Muslims had obviously rid themselves of the torment and torture of the infidel Quraysh and found a peaceful, agreeable environment.

	The Rumi Forum: Islam
		In the first year of his reign at Yathrib the Prophet made a solemn treaty with the Jewish tribes, which secured to them equal rights of citizenship and full religious liberty in return for their support of the new state.
		He gave leave to all the Ansar (natives of Yathrib) to return to their homes unreproached, since their oath did not include the duty of fighting in the field; but the Ansar were only hurt by the suggestion that they could possibly desert him at a time of danger.
		Besides a number of Muslims from Yathrib (which we shall henceforth call Al-Madinah) he called upon the friendly Arabs, whose numbers had increased since the miraculous (as it was considered) discomfiture of the clans to accompany him, but most of them did not respond.

		In 622 he was invited by the people of Yathrib (later renamed Medina) to move to that city and settle the disputes that had paralyzed it.
		Islam became the religion of Yathrib, and the city's religious, social, economic, and political life was organized according to Islamic teachings.
		From the time of Muhammad's arrival in Yathrib he was both a prophet and the religious and political leader of his community.

	Prophet Muhammad - 9
		He thought of his followers in Yathrib who were increasing in number and power and who were progressing without let or hindrance from either Jews or others, unlike their colleagues in Makkah who suffered from Quraysh at every turn.
		There was all the more reason now to permit them to emigrate to Yathrib, to strengthen and be strengthened by their fellow Muslims in order to achieve a measure of peace and security against the evil designs of the enemy.
		He then said to the men from Yathrib, "I covenant with you on the condition that you will protect me against all, just as you would protect your women and children." Al Bara' ibn Ma'rur, who was chief of his people and their elder, had entered into Islam after the first covenant of al 'Aqabah.

	Faith Freedom International
		It seems that the Jews, who were well established in Yathrib and by the very admission of Maududi were “practically the owners of this green and fertile land” (2) had little use for making such false claim about their origin.
		Unlike the Jews who practically were the master of all trades, and the owners of most businesses, Arabs in Yathrib made their living serving the Jews in their farms and households.
		It is important to note that the conflict in Yathrib was not between Muslims and Jews; otherwise Muhammad could not have acted as the arbitrator.

	Hijra
		In Islam, the migration of Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Yathrib (later Madina) in 622.
		Caliph Umar established the year of the hijra as the first year of the Muslim calendar, but for some reason this first year began in the month of Rabi' al-Awwal, which is the 3rd month in the calendar.
		There is no information in the hadiths suggesting that Muhammad was promised any elevated role in the society of Yathrib, although it is often alleged in modern literature that Muhammad was invited to handle law and conflicts in Yathrib.

		In the year 622 A.D. and at the age of 52, The Prophet secretly migrated to the fertile northern oasis of Yathrib, which was not on the caravan trade route from southern Arabia to the north.
		On the annual Pilgrimage to the Ka'aba(still a pagan shrine) about 70 inhabitants of Yathrib had accepted Islam and invited Muhammad to their city, where he and his followers would be given sanctuary.
		The people of Yathrib received with enthusiasm the Prophet and his makkan followers, who had abandoned their homes for the sake of their new faith.

	Islam Watch - "What Happened to the Jews of Medina" by Ali Sina
		On the other hand Muslims whose enmity of the Jews dates back to the time of Muhammad himself and even a reputed scholar like Maududi cannot contain his hatred of them when he writes about them, had more to gain in inventing false stories to justify their expulsion and their ethnic cleansing from their homeland.
		The numbers of the Muslims in Yathrib grow thanks to the tolerance of the Jews and their error in giving the immigrants a safe haven.
		Yathrib shall be a sanctuary for the people of this document.

	Restatement of History of Islam and Muslims
		Yathrib was a town in an oasis about 250 miles in the north of Makkah.
		In A.D. 622, seventy-five citizens of Yathrib came to Makkah in the season of the pilgrimage.
		It was the "anchor" on which the frail vessel of Islam came to rest at last, after being buffeted for thirteen years in the turbulent seas of paganism in Arabia.

		Thus the Jews claimed that they had been living in Yathrib since about 1200 B.C. But, this had in fact no historical basis and probably the Jews had invented this story in order to overawe the Arabs into believing that they were of noble lineage and the original inhabitants of the land.
		As Yathrib was under Jewish domination, they at first did not allow the Aus and the Khazraj to gain a footing and the two Arab tribes had to settle on lands that had not yet been brought under cultivation, where they could hardly produce just enough to enable them to survive.
		In Yathrib the Bani Quraizah and the Bani an-Nadir were the allies of the Aus while the Bani Qainuqa of the Khazraj.

	The Message
		Notwithstanding this however the pilgrims from Yathrib on their return to their homeland mentioned the appearance of the new Prophet as the most important news and attracted the attention of the people of that area to this great event.
		They were anxiously waiting for the arrival of Haj season so that besides performing Haj ceremonies they should see the Prophet from near and declare their readiness to render every service to Islam and to enlarge the range of the agreement from the point of view of quantity as well as quality.
		People of Yathrib were the neighbours of the Jews since long and every now and then a mention was made in their meetings and assemblies about the appointment of an Arabian Prophet to the prophetic mission.

	Muhammad, Messenger of God
		These men were so impressed that they would later lead a larger delegation to meet with Muhammad and discuss both his revelations and the possibility of his moving to Yathrib.
		The city consisted of a majority of Arabic clans and a minority of Jewish clans—although the two groups had separate religions, they were little different culturally or ethnically.
		However, he had to be cautious—if the wealthy clans got wind of his plans, they would interpret it as a threat and would use any means to stop it.

	Islam Watch - "Stories Not Told Before - Part 7" by Mohammad Asghar
		A distant away from Yathrib, Muhammad, deprived of the benefaction of his wife Khudeija and the protection of his uncle Abu Talib, was finding his fortunes, in his native land, dwindling to the bottom.
		The Khazrajites thought he was the same Messiah whom the Jews of Yathrib were expecting, while others considered the possibility of using him as a mediator or peacemaker in their volatile oasis.
		They realized that the fugitive Muslims were going to bind themselves into a strong community in Yathrib and that they would be doing anything and everything, to the detriment of the Meccans' interests, to support their lives.

	BIRTH AND ANCESTRY
		After a short stay in Yathrib they started back, but on the way Amina became seriously ill. The party stop to nurse her but her condition became worse and finally she breathed her last and was buried at the place called Abwa, situated between Mecca and Medina.
		Thus Islam began to take roots and spread in Yathrib which was destined to be the Prophet’s seat of power and would eventually become famous as Medina- the shortened form of Medinat-an- Nabi (city of Prophet).
		Yathrib which from now onwards was Medinat-al-nabi (city of the Prophet) or Medina-al-Munawwara (illuminated city), provided a free open atmosphere for the growth of the true faith.

	Medina [Al Madinah, Yathrib]
		Medina [Al Madinah, Yathrib] is the second most important holy city of Islam, containing the tomb of Muhammad.
		It is important to remember, however, that a visit to the Prophet's grave is not in any way to worship or revere him, but to commemorate his role as God's messenger, and to remind Muslims of his mortality and humanity.
		The entire Muslim community, both the residents of Yathrib and those who had migrated from Makkah with the Prophet, participated in the construction of this first mosque, which was simply an open courtyard about 805 square meters in area surrounded by a wall made from bricks and tree trunks.

	A Brief Biography of the Life of the Holy Prophet Habibullah (beloved)[pbuh]
		The event was instrumental in spreading belief among a greater part of Yathrib citizens, who rallied to the cause of Islam as 'Ansar' (Helpers).
		But strangely enough when Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) did finally proclaim his Prophet hood and emigrate to Yathrib, it were the Arab tribes of Aws and Khazraj who renounce idolatry and accepted Islam, while the chauvinistic Jews, whose forefathers had come to Arabia, for this very occasion, rejected the Prophet.
		Yathrib, which from now onwards was Medinat-an-nabi (city of the Prophet) or Medinat-al-Munawwara (illuminated city), provided a free open atmosphere for the growth of the true faith.

	Sejarah Hidup Muhammad
		Setiap golongan, setiap kabilah dari penduduk Yathrib, dari segi politik dan sosial dalam hal ini memberikan efek yang bermacam-macam.
		Bukankah, ketika mendengar ada mata-mata memanggil-manggil Quraisy, memberi peringatan tentang mereka itu, penduduk Yathrib yang ikut mengadakan Ikrar Aqaba kedua berkata kepadanya?
		Tujuannya yang pokok akan mencapai Yathrib - tanah airnya yang baru - ialah meletakkan dasar kesatuan politik dan organisasi, yang sebelum itu di seluruh wilayah Hijaz belum dikenal; sungguhpun jauh sebelumnya di Yaman memang sudah pernah ada.

	Migration - Hajj
		In 621 CE, a small group of men from Yathrib (Madinah), a town 250 miles to the north, converted to Islam in the course of a pilgrimage to Makkah.
		Their mission succeeded to the extent that, in 622 CE, 72 people of Yathrib accepted Islam and took an oath to protect the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
		The mosque was a place to contain all of life, and, by encompassing all aspects of the temporal as well as the spiritual, to give some indication of the ultimate unity of God.
