There were three main Jewish tribes in Medina before the rise of Islam in Arabia: the Banu Nadir, the Banu Qainuqa, and the Banu Qurayza.
Jewish populations have existed in the Arabian Peninsula since before Islam; in the north where they were connected to the Jewish populations of the Levant and Iraq, in the Ihsaa' coastal plains, and in the south, i.e. in Yemen.
About AD 300 during the emigration of Kahlān from Yemen prior to the Great Flood of Mar'ib Dam, Thaʻlaba bin ʻAmr, grand father of al-Aws, separated from his tribe and settled in Yathrib (Medina), which was then controlled by Jewish clans, and the Banu Qayla were subordinate to the Jews for some time, until Mālik bin Ajlān of Khazraj asserts independence of the Jews so Aws and Khazraj obtained a share of palm trees and strongholds.Thus, about the 5th century, the Banu Qayla took control of Yathrib,(medina)and Jews retired into the background for about a century.
Medina is home to three prominent mosques, namely al-Masjid an-Nabawi, Masjid Quba'a, and Masjid al-Qiblatayn, with the masjid at Quba'a being the oldest in Islam.
A larger portion of the Qur'an was revealed in Medina in contrast to the earlier Meccan surahs.
The Banu Aus were included in the Constitution of Medina as allies to the Muslims, "one nation/community with the Believers".Then, Banu Aus and others became known as the Ansar.
The region has been controlled by Arabian Jewish tribes (up to the 5th century CE), the 'Aws and Khazraj (up to Muhammad's arrival). The banu Nadir also made a large financial deal with Muhammad for political power and became allys.
I believe the key to Islam and the Quran began in Medina with either one of these tribes or all of them.
