Medinan Muslims

Medinan Muslims refer to the early followers of Islam who lived in Medina (formerly known as Yathrib) after the Prophet Muhammad and his followers migrated there from Mecca in 622 CE, an event known as the Hijra. In Medina, Muhammad established a diverse community, uniting various tribes, including Jews and pagans, under a common faith. These Muslims played a crucial role in the growth of Islam through their support of Muhammad and participation in significant battles, such as Badr and Uhud. Their contributions were essential in shaping the early Muslim community and the development of Islamic society.
