The Covenant of Madinah

• The Muslims and the Jews shall live together as one people.
• Neither of the two parties shall interfere with the faith of the other.
• If a third party attacks, each of the other parties shall be bound to help one another in the event of war.
• If Medina is attacked, both parties shall join hands to defend it.
• Both parties shall regard Medina as a sacred place, and bloodshed shall be forbidden there.
• The prophet shall be the final court of appeal in the event of a dispute.
  
  The covenant stood as an agreement for peaceful co-existence for all whom settled there.
  By 620AH the Prophet had built the nucleus of a Muslim state within Medina, they lived amongst Pagan tribes as well as Jews of whom were (economically) very powerful and controlled much of the trade within a city that was built upon it. This led the Pagan tribes to become very dependant upon them as a governing body within Medina.
  The constitution mirrors the hospitality that had been shown to the Muslims within Ethiopia upon the first Islamic migration By Negus of Abyssinia.
  
  This leads me to understand that these ethics and morals were not assigned to a particular time or place but a ruling to which Christians, Jews and Muslims alike have signed to as a pact with one another. I wonder if we all as people of a book remember this treaty and camaraderie between us in a time that so blatantly defies it.

The points above are just a small amount of the origional treatie.
