Abstract

According to Islamic teachings, the human being is a highly respectable and honorable creature.

Islam unites all human beings through the concept of universal brotherhood.

It teaches that mankind deserves respect, love, and sympathy in order to foster coexistence and mutual understanding among people of different nations and backgrounds.

However, on certain occasions, Islam emphasizes the importance of maintaining a distinct identity and establishing boundaries in relationships with other religions, in order to preserve its uniqueness, legitimacy, universality, and comprehensiveness.

This paper aims to explore the principles of international relations derived from the Seerah (life) of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), particularly with regard to interactions with other communities.

We identify foundational elements based on the teachings of the Seerah and Islamic history.

In our view, Islam encourages interaction with other religions to promote harmony and reduce conflicts, but only within the framework of maintaining Islamic identity.

Dialogue and discussion are essential components of this approach, and numerous examples can be found in both the Makkan and Madinan periods of the Prophet’s life.

Through his diplomatic efforts, the Holy Prophet (PBUH) spread the message of Islam from Arabia to neighboring and distant regions of the world.
