- Abstract
In the process of establishing a society based on the fundamental principles of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad received allegiance (bay'ah) from his followers on several occasions. Throughout this process, the concept of bay'ah evolved to signify both religious and political recognition of the Prophet's authority, as well as a solemn a pledge of absolute obedience. Through these acts of allegiance, the Prophet established a new social and political paradigm centered on monotheism (taw- hid), prophethood (nubuwwah), and belief in the afterlife (akhirah), in contrast to the pre-Islamic (jahiliyyah) understanding which was rooted in polytheism and tribal prejudice (asabiyyah). The early principles of this new civilization grounded in these doctrinal foundations, manifested themselves in the terms of allegiance that the Prophet received, both individually and collectively. In this regard, analyzing the role of these early allegiances in forming Islam's initial social structure as well as establishing the fundamental principles of Islamic civilization- occurring when a significant portion of the Qur'anic verses had not yet been revealed- provides critical insight into the historical development of these principles. The components of these allegiances included not only the fundamental beliefs such as faith in Allah, His Prophet, and the afterlife but also moral and social principles that would become the core tenets of Islamic civilization. In this context, the institution of bay'ah during the Prophet's era served a dual purpose: it both established a new value system centered on tawhid, nubuwwah, and akhirah, and provided the legal foundation ensuring society's adherence to this value system. Individuals accepting Islam pledged their loyalty to the Prophet, committing to abstain from theft, adultery, and infanticide, to speak the truth and uphold justice under all circumstances; and to offering sincere counsel to fellow Muslims. Thus, the process of bay'ah not only the main principles that would ensure the peace, stability, and security of the emerging society but also laid the foundation for the societal principles of Islamic civilization.
