The book deals with the history of the Islamic community at Medina during the first four years of the Islamic period--a time of critical importance for Islam, both as a religion and as a political community. The main events recounted by Tabari are the battles between Muhammad's supporters in Medina and their adversaries in Mecca. Tabari also describes the rivalries and infighting among Muhammad's early supporters, including their early relations with the Jewish community in Medina.<ref>[{{Reference archive|1=http://www.sunypress.edu/p-357-the-history-of-al-tabari-vol-7.aspx|2=2011-11-17}} The History of al-Tabari Vol. 7: The Foundation of the Community: Muhammad At Al-Madina A.D. 622-626/Hijrah-4 A.H.] - SUNY Press, accessed November 13, 2011</ref>}} | ||
