The Concept of "Haluf"

  • If a tribe had an alliance with another tribe, then members of that tribe would be safe when traveling to regions dominated by their ally.

Yom will be Half

The relationship between the two tribes was strained and they were often at conflict with each other. The Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa salaam was invited to Medina to resolve this feud between Aws and Khazraj. In 622 CE the Prophet along with a few of his followers migrated from Mecca to Medina. This is referred to as "Hijra" and marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar. Later the conflict between these two tribes, Banu Aws and Banu Khazraj, died out and they jointly became known as "Al-Ansar" meaning "The Helpers".
