Abstract

It was destined for an elite of the people of Yathrib (currently Medina) who were few in number, but great in determination, “Al-Khazraj,” specifically at the beginning of the prophetic mission, to pave the way in patience, calmness and poise for the establishment of the Islamic community in their homeland Yathrib. Rather, they were the first to open a new door for the Islamic call. In order to expand the area of the Islamic State, which, thanks to their abundant efforts, and after the death of the last of them in the year 78 AH, it became a sprawling state that included among its flanks the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, the countries of the Islamic East and the Levant, Egypt and the countries of the Maghreb.
That is why I decided that the research aims to highlight the role of these elites, despite the fact that historians did not mention their roles and only referred to their names during the events of the Prophet’s biography, so I had to drown in their roles since that incident until the death of the last of them.
I examined their roles in the various fields of society, political, military, economic, social and cultural, and found that they contributed to the construction of the Prophet's Mosque, and three of them were martyred.
