The message of the Prophet was rectangular like this, there were
entrances on all on these two sides, but on this side right
here, were apartments built for the family of the messenger
sallallahu alayhi wasallam. He lived attached to the mosque,
okay, which was rectangular in shape, and all throughout Islamic
history, all of wherever the Muslims went, they they only knew
one example. So they mimicked Medina and that they would put
the, the general would live on the side of the masjid right here,
right attached to the masjid. And his he would lead from there, all
the activity would happen inside the masjid around the masjid would
be the marketplace, the soup, okay, and then the homes would be
after that. So sort of like a zone one and zone two. Alright, like
London has these zones, right? So the first zone was a small little
area around the masjid where the leader lived, okay, and he from
there he operated that was his area of command. And this was also
the center where everyone gathered the community. And then you had
zone two would be like the marketplace. Alright, and then
zone three would be like where all the people lived.
