A Personality known as "Al-Amin": Pre-Prophetic Years in Makkah

Even before being given the mission of prophethood, the Prophet was known by the people of Makkah for his honesty and was called by the title "Al-Amin" (The Trustworthy).

With the construction of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, the Islamic state began to institutionalize, and education and legal systems were developed.
