The
state that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) established was in accordance with
Islamic economic jurisprudence. As the state expanded, the rights of the
different communities, as they existed in the Constitution of Medina
still applied. The Constitution of Medina instituted a number of rights
and responsibilities for the Muslim, Jews, Christian and pagan
communities of Medina, bringing them within the fold of one community.
The Constitution established: the security of the community, religious
freedoms, the role of Medina as a sacred place (barring all violence and
weapons), the security of women, stable tribal relations within Medina,
a tax system for supporting the community in time of conflict,
parameters for exogenous political alliances, a system for granting
protection of individuals, and a judicial system for resolving disputes
where non-Muslims could also use their own laws. All the tribes signed
the agreement to defend Medina from all external threats and to live in
harmony amongst them. The same rights were later applied to all the
communities as the state expanded outside Medina. The Quran also gave
rights to the citizens of the state and these rights were also applied.
But Yazid was oppressive and he broke peace, so Imam Hussain (PBUH) felt
that it was his religious duty to confront him and send a message to
the future generations that oppressive rulers who take away the rights
of people should not be given allegiance, because their oppression burn
all people with every belief.
