Treaty with the Jews – Part One
The majority of the population of Madinah Munawwarah was made up of the Aws and Khazraj tribes. However, over an extended period of time, a significant number of Jews also settled in Madinah Munawwarah.
The Jews had a number of madrasahs and educational institutes in Khaybar and Madinah. They also had a few fortresses in Khaybar. They were referred to as the Ahl-e-Kitaab (people of the scripture). Compared to the disbelievers (polytheists), they enjoyed educational superiority and distinction in the land of Hijaaz.
