1. People believed that their elites and distinguished individuals could better discern their interests and welfare.

  3. However, the Prophet, despite being a stranger in Medina, succeeded from the very beginning of his arrival in public invitation and the establishment of the Islamic government, taking the leadership of the community.

  5. The Arabs there were from the tribes of Aws and Khazraj, who were considered Yemeni in terms of ethnicity and were descendants of the northern Arabs and the children of Prophet Ishmael. The Prophet Muhammad was from Banu Hashim and the Quraysh, so the Meccans were much closer to the Prophet in terms of ethnicity and lineage. So how did the invitation of that Prophet find acceptance in Medina?
  6. This acceptance relates to the role of the elites; when the leaders of Aws and Khazraj responded to the invitation of the Prophet (PBUH), the ordinary people followed their lead and embraced faith. The motivation of the leaders of Yathrib for converting to Islam could be attributed to two possibilities. They may have genuinely had heartfelt faith and knowledge of the sacred status of the Prophet and the truth of his claim, or they might have been weary from the long wars and the many lives lost, seeking to end these conflicts through Islam. In any case, regardless of their intentions, the elites and distinguished individuals of Aws and Khazraj accepted the Prophet's invitation, and consequently, all members of these two tribes embraced Islam.

  8. A significant portion of the people of Medina had already converted to Islam before the arrival of the Prophet, as Mus'ab ibn Umayr had come to this region on behalf of the Prophet to promote Islam and had introduced the people to it. After the Prophet's presence, those who had not yet converted to Islam also became Muslims, so the Prophet faced no issues in Medina in this regard. Of course, there were oppositions and hostilities that arose after the establishment of the Islamic state, but the general populace did not create any problems in this matter.
  9. I have told you the story of Mus'ab in the previous video, how he became acquainted with Islam and worked to spread it.
  10. One of the important things the Prophet did was to establish a bond of brotherhood between the companions who had migrated with him from Mecca and those who helped him in Medina, so that they would be brothers in faith and support each other in the affairs of this world and the Hereafter. 

  12. When the ceremony of brotherhood was over, Imam Ali came to the Prophet and said, "O Messenger of God, you did not make me a brother to anyone, and I am left alone." It was then that the Prophet took Ali's hand among the crowd, raised it, and said, "O people, bear witness that Ali is also my brother." 

  14. This was a privilege for Ali, as the Prophet recognized him as his brother and trusted companion.
  15. Another important action of the Messenger of God in the first year of migration was the establishment of the Prophet's Mosque in Medina. He purchased a piece of land that was located in front of their residence, which was the house of Abu Ayyub Ansari. This land belonged to two orphans, and the Prophet bought it for double the price from their guardian and built the mosque there.

  17. The Prophet's Mosque became a major center for worship, culture, politics, military, judiciary, and education in Islam. This mosque was not only for prayer and worship; when necessary, the Messenger of God  would organize military mobilizations from this mosque. Additionally, tribal leaders, envoys from various countries, or different tribes were received in this mosque. Religious and Quranic teachings were also imparted to the people in this mosque.
