Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Commander of Faithful Imam Ali (a.s) Tasks After Emigration Madinah entered a new era of its history with the arrival of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.). There he erected the pillars of the realm of the Qur'an, and fortified it so as to be a lighthouse radiating the beacon of Truth to all horizons, and dispersing the dense darkness of the Age of Ignorance (Jahiliyah).

After the higrah (emigration), the Mission transformed into a state providing much means of protection and might. This did not imply that an end had come to the enemy's menace and plots to extinguish the light of Islam however. On the contrary, the forces of ignorance, with their diverse aspects, resolved to wage war against Islam and its state.

Many tribes entered the arena against Islam and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.), as they realized that their very existence was endangered by this religion and code of life. Now that Islam had organized into a state, with a governing head and an army for defense, it was catering to its needs and carrying out its objectives. it was more a threat the ever to the idol worshippers' dominance over the lands of Arabia.

Therefore, the post emigration period placed before the Muslims wider and more important tasks such as strengthening the state and guarding it, building a society and consolidating it, repelling the enemy, spreading the message of Islam and its unique way of life.

The nature of the struggle changed from being a struggle among individuals and tribes, or the nobility and unarmed commoners who possessed nothing but their religion and faith in Allah, to an organized military conflict between forces brought together by common interests and desires, even if temporarily on the one side, and the great blossom of Islam as the danger which would destroy their very existence on the other This military conflict exploded in an unprecedented way in history.

It suffices to know that the state, built on the Qur'an, witnessed, within the ten years that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) spent in Madinah, dozens of military operations, defensive and offensive wars, in which the Muslims made numerous sacrifices and faced all kinds of difficulties. But, at last, the existence of Arab Ignorance was overcome, and the state of Islam prevailed over the whole Arab Peninsula.

Going over the history of those crucial early years of the Final Message, we realize that the role of Imam Ali bin Abi) was unsurpassed.
