B. Develop a mind map and write down the Summary of the lesson “The
Madina Charter”.
Answer:
When the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) migrated to Madina, there were many
people who belonged to different tribes and religious. Among them were the
faithful followers of Muhammad (SAW), refugees, helpers, idol worshippers and
the Jews. For Creating harmony and Co-operation among them, The Prophet
(SAW) first abolished the tribal distinction. He united them because he knew that
goodwill and support of all sections were essentially necessary for peaceful co-
existence. The Prophet (SAW) drafted a charter which is commonly known as the
Madina Charter. In this, it was written that all those communities world become as
one nation which signed the charter. They would defend each other. All the
communities would be free with respect to their religion and religious ceremonies.
Bloodshed, murder and evidence were abominated.
In 1948, the General Assembly of the United Nation Unanimously adopted the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights. There were many clauses which
resembles to the Madina Charter. It declares that Islam is the greatest protector of
Human Rights. It also declares that Islam considers all humans equal. Islam gives
rights to all men. It gives a legal framework to Muslims as well as Pagans.
