Islam is the last and latest revealed religion which is
for all times and for all places till the Day of Judgment.
So it has the adjustability to every kind of complex
circumstances. Beside the Holy Quran, the life of the Holy
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) explains every aspect of life.
Because the Prophet(PBUH) not only focused on
religious activities rather provided guidelines for every
occasion and condition related to every person of society.
The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) provided
guidelines for governing a state and relations of states
with each others. Currently it is felt necessary to study
these guidelines from the holy life of the prophet (PBUH)
which shows us how to govern a state and how to treat the
subjects, governors, as well as foreigners.
This article focuses on the treatment of foreign
delegations to the holy prophet (PBUH) which came for
different issues. Many foreign delegations came to the
Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) after the Conquest of
Makkah i.e. in 9thAH, which is called a’am-ul-wufood (the
year of delegations). This will be a charter/guideline for a
Muslim State how to treat foreign delegations.
