This historical question expected the candidates to raise various factors which led to the prophet’s success in the city of Madina. The question was wrongly approached by many candidates who focused on the prophet’s activities in Madina rather than factors such as the pledges of ‘Aqabah , non existence of priestly or privileged class in Madina and the leadership qualities of the Prophet (S.A.W.) among others. For this reason, the candidates only performed fairly.
