The Constitutionality of Medina Convention
Journal Title: Uluslararası İnsan Çalışmaları Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The Medina Convention, which was signed in the aftermath of Muhammad immigration to Medina, which includes Jews and other Arab tribes in the city, is a subject of much debate over both the theologians and other intellectual groups, also by the western partners. In the assessments made around the convention, evaluations were made that this was a state, even was an Islamic state that was established. The Medina Agreement is an agreement made by the Messenger of Allah in order to ensure the unity of the Muslims and the others in Medina against the Islamic opponents in Mecca, and to declare that he is the head of the administrative order he wants to establish. This agreement was originally made for Muslims only and then extended to include Jews, as can be seen in the details of the contract text and the analysis of the narratives on this subject. Moreover, it is considered that the agreement is a text that appears from the merging of agreements made at different times, not at one time. The agreement was violated by the Jewish Kaynukaogullari Tribe after about a year. In the aftermath of the Badr and Hudaybiye Wars, the Jews attempts to disrupt the agreementended with the deportation of them to other regions of the Arabian Peninsula, thus the provisions under the agreement could not be applied. The Medina contract is in fact a multilateral agreement. The Convention has beendefined by some authors as the Constitutio n and has been considered only as an agreement. However, it should not be ignored the fact that in the preparation of the contract, in the background the understanding of the divine address, by revelation, equity and human values is practiced by Muhammad.
