The Constitution of Medina & The Concept of the Welfare State [Introduction and Salient Features]

Authentication and Verification of the Articles of the Constitution of Medina

Some so-called scholars and prejudiced orientalists, who are ignorant of knowledge and research, raise questions about the authenticity and reliability of the Constitution of Medina, and try in vain to make it unreliable. In the second chapter of this book, the gradual evolution of the Constitution of Medina and the stages of its drafting are described in a research style. It has been proved that all the narrators of the text of this constitutional document are just, established and trustworthy, and their narrations cannot be described as weak or any other reason. The details of the narrators who narrated it have been brought into the ambit of writing. Also, it has been proved from a technical discussion on the validity of the hadith mursal that the hadith mursal is unanimously admissible by the hadith scholars. Therefore, there is no other opinion about the validity of the narration of the Constitution of Medina.

Until now, researchers have only described the different clauses of the Constitution of Medina by relying on historical events and legal books. In this book, for further authentication of the articles of the Constitution of Medina, evidences from the Quran and Sunna, hadiths and books of the Prophet’s biography and history of Islam have been included in accordance with each article.

After reading this chapter, it can be said without fear of doubt that the second chapter of this book itself is of central importance to the authenticity and reliability of the Constitution of Medina and distinguishes this composition from other books on this subject.
