Third subject of research: Solidarity and Relief at Stage of Dawa in Madina
Once the prophet, SAWA, arrived in Madina, he started to lay the foundation of the Qu'ran- based society which would take its principles and ideas from the doctrines of Allah at guidance of His Messenger, SAWA. The idea of the solidarity- oriented society was very clear in all pillars of Islam. For example, prayers communicate to the heart of every Muslim values of equality and love to all Muslims, while the pillar of fasting strengthens sympathy with the poor and the needy and hungry. As for the pillar Zakat, it protects the psyche from being hostage to money that he forgets its Creator. It also constructs a society of brotherhood in which the poor feel that their rich brothers feel for them and show gestures of solidarity toward them. A society with such rites and doctrines must be a powerful one on which the greatest civilizations are founded, and that did happen.
While the first step made by the Messenger of Allah, SAWA, on arriving Madina was to build a mosque to get together Muslims in all their races and brackets on one brotherly bond and at the same place, the second step was directly to deepen the spirit of solidarity and cooperation among Muslims, which we, if Allah wills, will deal with in the following manifestations:
First Manifestation: Forging Brotherhood between Muhajereen and Ansar
Second Manifestation: Solidarity between Muslims and Jews
Third Manifestation: Ahl Assoffa, a case study of relief
Fourth Manifestation: Relief Works at major Crises
Fifth Manifestation: the Society's Solidarity and Relief Vision
Sixth Manifestation: Solidarity for Manning the Army
Seventh Manifestation: Relief of Muslims to Disbelievers
