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was originally made for Muslims only and then extended to include Jews, as can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.
