The Early Madinan Society and the Known Brotherhood

We all Muslims know the fact that as soon as our beloved Prophet (SAWS, peace and blessings of Allah be upon Him) set His foot on the land of Madeenah, the entire concept of society was changed and that was the first ever civilized, stable and secure society that came into existence.

Start of the first Islamic Society with Muslims and their unique position to make their way through peace and stability. The following content will help you further to understand the importance of such a society and the number of factors which contributes to such an ideology.
From many factors to the first and very important step took by our beloved Prophet (SAWS) was to build a centre point which was nothing less than a important aspect lacking in the society such as building a mosque to help Muslims have a focal point.

This acted as a point of assembling all the believers to participate and meet with one another to know them better and sort certain aspects in-between such as attending mosque regularly to pray, learn and understand the preaching of Quran, helping poor, visiting the sick, seeking help for various other matters from Muslims brothers, attending funerals and arrange marriages.

A Ahaadeeth concerning the above context was reported in Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 51, Number 32: Narrated Anas:

When the Prophet ordered that the mosque be built, he said, "O Bani An-Najjar! Suggest to me a price for this garden of yours." They replied, "By Allah! We will demand its price from none but Allah."
