The Medina Period refers to the time in Islamic history when the Prophet Muhammad and his followers migrated from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE. This migration, known as the Hijra, marked the beginning of the Islamic calendar. In Medina, the Muslim community began to grow, and the first Islamic state was established, allowing for the development of religious, social, and political structures. During the Medina Period, several key events occurred, including the formation of the Constitution of Medina, which outlined the rights and responsibilities of Muslims and non-Muslims. The period also saw the establishment of the first mosques, the spread of Islamic teachings, and the consolidation of the Muslim community, leading to significant military and political developments.
