Civic Progress in the Course of the Prophet Mohammad

Abstract:
The Medina community that was established by the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was so different from its past history and what was in people's mind that it is not far-fetched to be entitled as Utopia. It was a society based on high values and progress indicators like security, culture, discipline and freedom and with rapid development for many years. Therefore, it took fairly a long time until laxity and weakness penetrated in such a community. Such developments were the result of revelatory teachings, actions and great trainings of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Such teachings, with the blessings of God, came to fruition quickly and were manifested widely in all aspects of peoples life in terms of peace and comfort, culture and civilization.
Prior to that, Yathrib, named Medina Al-Nabi after the Prophet Muhammads migration, was about to decline due to its serious challenges with normative and civil principles, as well as its lack of any political, cultural and social organizations. However, a miraculous evolution, enjoying great changes and developments, occurred there in short time as a result of the presence of the Prophet. Establishment of the government, codification of constitution, expansion of brotherhood and equality in the society, possibility of voluntarism and opportunity to benefit from human rights as well as recognition of the essential issues and necessary duties were among these developments. Accordingly, Medina succeeded as an Islamic city to be seen as a symbol of a modern society. This article aims to briefly clarify the developments and progress of the community of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), arising from the teachings, life, and traditions of the Prophet.
