It is worth mentioning that The Ottoman Sultan Mahmoud the second gave much attention to Madinah in all aspects of life because there was an ongoing political and cultural conflict among different factions especially when Suad Family took the reign on Al-Hajaz area.

The conclusion consisted of the results of the study, appendixes of Ottoman documents from Egypt and Hijaz and the references. Finally, this study found the following results: The Prophet's Masjid has been one of the most important centers of knowledge and education. This Masjid has contributed in all fields of science like linguistics, religion, and other kinds of science including Arabic language, sociology, pure and applied science among other studies. Houses of Olamaa', Ktateebs, libraries, schools had significant roles in education for all ages of the inhabitants of Madinah. The educational and scientific movement in Madinah was organized, simple, and disciplined. There was scientific progress in Madinah. This was evident in the huge number of learning positions in each institution depending on its size. The role of Olamaa' was clear in collecting scientific book for making libraries. Also, ''Waraqeen" ( people responsible for printing) had a great effect on this side of economical life in the city. Madinah was neglected in the real sense of the word by the Ottoman Empire since it was far away from the capital that time so the real progress didn't exceed the aspects of religious and some scientific studies besides 'Fiqh' matters.
