The Mithaq al-Madina or the Constitution of Medina or the Charter of Medina, is a constitution that governed the affairs of Medina which formed the basis of the First Islamic state, a multi-religious polity under the Prophet Muhammad's leadership. Composed of approximately 47 clauses, the constitution established a legal, economic and political framework for the diverse communities living in Medina, declaring all citizens as one community, and has been called as the world's first constitution to establish pluralism, religious freedom, and collective defense.
