Tarikh Islam

The ‘economic policies of the Messenger of Allah’ means economic guidelines and strategies derived from governmental decrees and regulations and laws derived from revelation. Using a descriptive-analytical method and based on library sources and documents, this research tries to answer the following questions: how was the state of Medina during the migration of the Prophet and at the end of his reign and what economic policies did he adopt during his short reign. This research shows that the Holy Prophet created cultural, social and economic infrastructures quickly and efficiently by training the human and paved the way for the growth and progress of the society. He integrated Yathrab's people who had tribal fanaticism; he turned the tribal wars and insecurity into peace, and the scattered society into a coherent nation. Training a monotheistic society, he created an efficient business environment, and finally, turned the dispersed Yathrib into a united nation and a good city. Applying precise policies, he was able to create a fundamental change in the behavior of economic activists and - as a result - in the present structures and institutions and he brought about the highest possible growth and progress in the Arab society of the time.
