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."

Place To Worship

Muslim children are taught At an early stage of childhood "Islam has five pillars: belief in one God, praying five times a day, fasting during the month of Ramadan, helping the poor and pilgrimage to Mecca."

The questioning eyes Muslims all over the world ask that what do they do if they are living in a non Muslim country and don’t have a place to worship. Well Muslim community works this way. It is not only a mosque where you can pray or confess. You can pray in any part of the world. Muslim community is based on the principal of knowledge that starts from cradle and ends at the grave. A child has the basic principals taught to him in the lap of his mother which is also an Islamic school for his elementary Islamic education. If the foundation of the Islamic community is strong one would not be having questions and doubts at the later age.

Thus Islam is a set of beliefs that are developed at an early age and developed at the later stages of your life. This development in the spiritual knowledge can be attained by Quran teaching at the early stage of childhood.

You cannot say that Islam is just restricted to just the boundaries of a mosque. This can be logically defined as Muslims belief in one God. Their belief is that Allah is watching them all the parts of the world. So where ever you pray it he would be watching you. Now you can read online Quran in any part of the world.
