Description

"The present monograph offers an edited version and interpretation of the earliest and most important document from the time of Muḥammad. The document is often referred to as the 'Constitution of Medina'. Although this is a misnomer, it appears at the title of this monograph because it is widespread. The document is referred to throughout this study by the neutral Arabic term 'Kitāb'. Detailed attention has been dedicated to the Kitāb by Muḥammad Hamīdullāh, who often employed political science terminology. ... he described the Kitāb as 'the earliest written constitution, promulgated by a sovereign for his own statal conduct, both in internal and foreign affairs.' It preceded the Magna Carta by several centuries; its second clause, according to Hamīdullāh, is the 'declaration of independence, be that against the pagan Mecca, Byzantine empire, Iran or any other state in the world'."--Page 1.
