نسلی امتیازات اور فقر و غربت کے خاتمہ میں مواخاتِ مدینہ کا کردار اور اس کی عصری معنویت

Abstract

The life of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the best example for humanity. The success of humanity is in obedience of Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him). He gave guidance for individual and collective life. He took ideal steps for the improvement of society and for the elimination of poverty and prejudices. In such steps, the most remarkable one is the Madinah’s brotherhood. Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) created brotherhood among migrants and resident of Madinah by calling the name of one migrant (Muhajir) and one resident (Ansar) and declared them to be brothers of each other like the real brothers. As a result of this agreement, poverty and prejudices were eradicated from the society. The refugees got permanent residence and their food and drink were arranged. The paper presents this brotherhood as perfect model to be followed by the societies to overcome the issues of poverty and racial discriminations.
