Abstract

Islam is the religion of unity. The spirit of unity and collectivity is found in its all teachings. It is an exclusive quality of Islam that the life of our holy prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him is a practical model of the teachings of Islam. The life of our Holy Prophet is an ideal model for us. In the life of our Holy Prophet Peace be upon him, where there are many more teachings for us, there are immense instructions in his biography about unity and collectivity. There are many manifestations of unity and togetherness in his biography. One of these phenomena is Medina’s Brotherhood. The central and pivotal philosophy of Medina’s Brotherhood is unity and solidarity. In present age in which the Muslin Ummah is divided in groups on the basis of ethnic, linguistic, cultural and geographical prejudices, the Medina’s Brotherhood is of great importance. Only on the basis of Islamic brotherhood can differences between Muslim Ummah be resolved. The Muslim Ummah has all the resources to defend its existence and its rights. The population of Muslim is also very large and their civilization is superior to all other civilization. But in spite of this, Muslims are suffering from weakness and inferiority. The main reason for this is their mutual division and dispersal. In order to avoid this Medina’s Brotherhood is a beacon. In article under review, the importance and efficacy of Medina’s Brotherhood regarding the unity and solidarity of the Muslim Ummah will be discussed.
