all the tribes had worked together to build it but when it came to the matter of fixing of black stone it resulted in

decide this matter and everyone agreed to this.

Relations with the jews
 Charter of Madina
When Holy Prophet (PBUH) arrived at Medina, he first treated all groups of Medinite society equally
including Muslims, non-Muslims , Arabs and Jews. Prophet (PBUH) realized that the foundation of
Islamic empire must be strong so, he negotiated with the Jewish tribes, as they were the dominant
power in Medina. Finally they reached upon an agreement. It granted equal rights to Jews and
freedom to carry out their religious practices openly. It stated that both parties must protect Medina
against all enemies. This treaty was called ‘Charter of Medina’ and established Prophet (PBUH) as the
leader of Medina. Gradually, the Jews distanced themselves from Prophet (PBUH). They mocked him
on revelations he used to receive and marked him as a false prophet. At the time of the battle of Badr,
the Jews did not help the Muslims despite the clause mentioned in Charter of Medina
 Expulsion
The Jewish tribes that proved to be the most problematic were Banu Qainuqa, Banu Quraiyzah and
Banu Nazir. Banu Qainuqa was the first tribe to break the treaty by fighting with Muslims in the
periods between Battle of Badr and Battle of Uhad. Attempts made by Prophet (PBUH) to come to
terms with them were unsuccessful. Therefore, a siege was enforced against the Banu Qainuqa tribe.
As a result of which they were expelled from Medina in 2 A.H. A year later, Ka’ab, the Jewish leader
was executed for his activities against Medina and interests of Muslims.
 Exile of Banu Nazir
In the 4th year of Hijrat, the Banu Nazir plotted to murder Prophet (PBUH) by rolling a stone over
him, while he stood at the entrance of their stronghold. At the same time, with the persuasion of
Quraish, they rose against the Muslims. Prophet (PBUH) sent them a message to leave Medina, within
ten days but they rejected the expulsion and captivated themselves in their fortresses. As a result of it,
Prophet (PBUH) led an army against them and laid siege to their forts. After a siege of two weeks, the
Jews of Banu Nazir surrendered and were exiled from Medina.
 Punishment of Banu Qurayizah

Third tribe was Banu Qurayizah, which openly joined Quraish during Battle of Trench. They helped
Quraish to cross the trench by telling an alternative pathway and kept on disturbing Prophet (PBUH)
and others during the war period. They were punished after the battle through their exile from Medina
but they refused. So, Prophet (PBUH) besieged their settlements. Finally, they surrendered to him and
agreed to abide by the decision of the leader of Aus tribe, Saad bin Muaad, who decided their fate
according to Jewish law of the Old Testament. Their men were slain, women and children were sold as
prisoners and their lands and properties were divided among the Muslims in 5th A.H.
