madina

The constitution of Madinah was through the systemic incorporation of the concept of mutual humanity and shared space with other religions into Scripture, belief structures, laws and values that explain why Islamic societies, from the start, were racially diverse, multi-ethnic, and open to other faith communities. 

Abdul Malik Mujahid reminisces about the simplicity and beauty of the Masjid of the Prophet, along with the many roles it played in the early Muslim community, from a place of prayer, both individual and collective, to a hub of social interaction and social services for all. 

These are the lyrics of the song "Madinah Tun-Nabi" from the Road to Madinah collection of Islamic songs by Dawud Wharnsby, which conveys the joy the Muslims felt upon the arrival of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, in the city of Madinah after leaving Makkah. This the third CD of songs he released after the groundbreaking "Whisper of Peace", followed by "Colors of Islam".
