It falls within the organization of the affairs of the state and society in Madinah in the second year after the Hijrah.
In this year, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote the al-ma'aqil, and he had his sword hanging from him.
What is meant by the **al-ma'aqil** in the Charter (Sahifah) of Madinah is the system of **blood money and mutual financial support** that the community carried for its members when an offense required compensation, especially in cases of accidental killing. The Prophet ﷺ approved this system in the Charter, but he moved it from the tribal fanaticism and revenge of the pre-Islamic period to justice, organization, and cooperation. Each tribe or group remained responsible for its own al-ma'aqil, meaning for paying the blood money it owed and ransoming captives, according to **what is fair and just among the believers**. In this way, al-ma'aqil became a means of protecting lives, preventing revenge, and organizing shared responsibility within the new community in Madinah.
