Summary/Abstract: In this article, we intend to elaborate on the role of the Messenger s.w.s. in Medina society. The life of Muhammad s.w.s. can be divided into two phases. The first is the phase before the revelation in Makkah where he was born, and the second is the phase after the Revelation began. The second phase of his life can further be subdivided into his Makkan and Medinan phases. Each of these phases has its own specific nature and characteristics, history, and its significance. The Makkah period of the Messenger’s life is exhausting, turbulent, unpredictable, and difficult, but at the same time, it is also marked with courage, patience, and missionary endeavours with individuals to whom he was transmitting the Message of Islam and thus bringing them up for the challenges that were to follow from within their families as well as from the mushrik society. The Medina phase is characterized by the formation of the Muslim community, a city-state, and the creation of the Medina Constitution. In Medina Allah Teala, reveals the ayahs that are to regulate relations amongst the citizens, other nations, and those within the Muslim community itself.
