The Charter of Madina (Meesaq-e-Madina) was a formal agreement drafted by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) after the Hijrah to establish peaceful coexistence among the diverse communities of Madina, including Muslims, Jews, and other tribes. It consisted of 47 articles that outlined the rights and duties of all citizens, established collective defense mechanisms, and recognized the Prophet (PBUH) as the final arbiter in disputes. This document is considered the first written constitution in history.
The Charter of Madina, also known as the Constitution of Madina, was established in the first year of Hijrah (622 CE). It created a confederation between the Muhajireen (emigrants from Makkah), the Ansar (helpers of Madina), and the Jewish tribes of Madina. The charter guaranteed religious freedom, established mutual protection, and declared Madina a sacred city where internal fighting was prohibited. It is widely regarded by historians as a landmark document in constitutional history.
