The Jewish Tribes of Madinah

By

Bassam Zawadi

There are several anti Islamic sites out there that criticize the way the Prophet (peace be upon him) dealt with the Jewish tribes of Madinah. I am only providing a list of references that Muslims could appeal to and might find helpful if they are ever in a situation in debating the issues or answering the inquiries of a curious non Muslim.
