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 debating the issues or answering the inquiries of a curious non-Muslim.
