8. The Magna Carta agreement was drafted unilaterally, while the representatives of many nations and religions agreed to the drafting of the Constitution of Medina.

9. Other ancient treaties were based on the foundations of making the individual power of a family, a tribe or a group permanent, while the Constitution of Medina took into account the interests of society with great foresight. The spirit of the Constitution of Medina was the protection of the lives, property and honour of the citizens. Without distinction of colour and race, the religious, political, economic and defence rights of every citizen of the State of Medina were protected. In short, the Constitution of Medina took into account the social interests, not the individual.

11. In this book, a brief history of constitution making in ancient civilizations including Greece and Rome has been highlighted. This is useful material for understanding the model of the State of Medina, from which it can be estimated that the administrative, economic and welfare model of the State of Medina is the best that has not been borrowed from any civilization of the past.

12. From the study of this book, one can also be aware of the features and objective conditions of Arab society. In it, the civilization of pre-Islamic times has been beautifully compared with the era of the Prophet ﷺ and a historic comparative review has been put before the reader in detail.

13. The study of this book also reveals the truth that ancient civilizations were destroyed due to large-scale migration caused by the oppression of rulers, and the refugees were also humiliated and disgraced. On the other hand, the State of Medina flourished due to the blessing of migration, and the people who migrated to the State of Medina were given respect, protection, and honour.

14. In contrast to the known ancient civilizations, which were dominated by autocracy, the State of Medina flourished under a council system. The spirit of this system was consultation and understanding.
