المعاهدات والمواثيق النبوية كوسائل الدعوة

Treaties and Covenants as a Tool of Da‘wah

Abstract

This article examines the Prophet Muhammad’s صلی الله علیه وسلم approach to Islamic preaching, highlighting the strategic use of treaties, covenants, and letters. It shows how the Prophet صلی الله علیه وسلم combined wisdom, patience, diplomacy, and exemplary moral conduct to spread Islam effectively, both within Arabia and internationally. Key examples, such as the Charter of Medina, the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, and letters sent to rulers like Caesar, Khosrow, and Negus, demonstrate how peace, justice, and religious tolerance were embedded in agreements to create a favorable environment for the message of Islam. The study emphasizes that these principles remain relevant today, offering guidance for contemporary Muslim engagement in global diplomacy, interfaith dialogue, media, and institutional initiatives. By reflecting on the practical application of these prophetic methods, the article provides a model for addressing modern social, political, and intellectual challenges while upholding ethical and peaceful principles.
