Was there any Madinah State?

By Naeem Khan CSP

What happened to the Jews and Non Muslims of Madinah?

Was the ruler a Prophet or Elected  person to be head of the state?

Was  mission of the  Prophet  to establish Islam, the religion or  a state? He never  assumed a political title. State needs politics not religion. 

Quran doesn’t use any political title for the Prophet but repeatedly reminds that he is a messenger of God and asserts that he is the last messenger. He just came to deliver the message.

How can you change religion with passage of time? State needs molding as per situation.

Quran even doesn’t refer to the state of Madina and I doubt if any of the hadith refers to it, because a state is a political unit and its principles, roles and limitations continue to evolve as human civilization progresses. 

A religion is about commands of God while a political system is about authority.
