The book argues that Medina's governance was not purely theocratic but rather a pragmatic response to the socio-political conditions of the time.
It traces the evolution of Medina's governance across four sections, from pre-Islamic tribal structures and the Hijra to the establishment of key institutions and the governance styles of the Rashidun Caliphate.
By analyzing primary sources and engaging with interdisciplinary scholarship, Medina Governance offers a unique perspective on the dynamic interplay between faith and practical administration in the formative years of Islam, challenging simplistic notions and providing a grounded understanding of early Islamic governance.
