Holy Prophet (PBUH) as a Great Diplomat Life of Holy Prophet (PBUH) is model for all over mankind. One can get guide for any aspect of life from life of Holy Prophet (PBUH) . Model of Holy Prophet (PBUH) as a Diplomat is also a great example for mankind. Holy Prophet (PBUH) during his teenage went on trade journey to Syria with his Uncle Abu Talib(R.A) . Holy Prophet (PBUH) also went Syria for trade from Hazrat Khadeeja(R.A). Holy Prophet (PBUH) met with foreign traders in such diplomatic and kind way that Hazrat Khadeeja (R.A) had become very impress with this method of Holy Prophet (PBUH) that she sent a proposal of marriage to Holy Prophet (PBUH) which was accepted. Hazrat Khadeeja (R.A) was very rich lady of Makkah and she helped Holy Prophet (PBUH) financially and Holy Prophet (PBUH) preached teachings of Islam without any difficulty. On 610 A.D at age of 40 , Holy Prophet (PBUH) started preaching Islam . Infidels of Makkah started hurting those who accept Islam. When Muslims could not hurts of Quraesh, then on 615 A.D , Holy Prophet (PBUH) sent 15 Muslims under leadership of Hazrat Jafer Tayyar (R.A) to Abyssinia as a refugee . Ruler of Abyssinia ‘Negus’ protected Muslims refugees. So, it was great diplomatic strategy of Holy Prophet (PBUH) that he (PBUH) sent Muslims to a right state at the right time. After one year Holy Prophet (PBUH) also sent 101 more Muslims men and Women to Abyssinia. Infidels of Makkah did not like this thing. They sent their envoy to Abyssinia so that they expelled these Muslims from their country. But at that envoy of Holy Prophet (PBUH) handled it in a very nice way that he insured Negus that it would be in his favor if he helped these refugees Muslim . he recited verses surah Marayyam. After hearing these verses Negus said, “Certainly this and what Jesus (Isa ) had brought come out from one niche”. Negus refused to expel Muslims from his country and he supported them. In this way due to good diplomatic strategy of Holy Prophet (PBUH) Muslims got one new friend in foreign country. On 622 A.D Muslims migrated to migrated and Holy Prophet (PBUH) founded a new Islamic welfare state in Madina . At that time there were many Jews and Idolaters living in Madina . After establishing city state Madina , Holy Prophet (PBUH) concluded Charter of Madina. In which Jews and Idolaters were also signatories. It was an agreement of about 52 articles. So , it was great diplomatic success of Holy Prophet (PBUH). Through this agreement it was responsibility of State of Madina to provide equal facilities to all of its communities . It also insured collective security of state and people. It also included that if someone attacked on Madina , then it was responsibility of person of state to protect it from external attack regardless of religion, color, caste. In Madina Infidels of Makkah did not allow Muslims to live happily. From 624 A.D to 627 A.D , Quraish fought three wars with Muslims. On 628 A.D Holy Prophet (PBUH) with about 1400 his companions moved towards Makkah to offer Umrah. But when Muslims reached at place of Huddaibiah, it was informed that Quraish came out of Makkah to fight with Muslims. At this time, Holy Prophet (PBUH) showing his great diplomatic attributes sent his envoy Hazrat Usman (R.A). Holy Prophet (PBUH) made an agreement of peace with them which was called as ‘Treaty of Hudaibia’. Apparently this agreement was against Muslims. Some of Companions of Holy Prophet (PBUH) also showed their concerns on it. But Holy Prophet (PBUH) showing his wisdom signed on that agreement. On leaving that place first Verse of ‘Surah Al-Fateh (Victory)’ of Quran revealed on Holy Prophet (PBUH). Which informed Muslims about their success. “Lo! We have given thee(O Muhammad(PBUH)) a signal victory”. It was diplomatic foresight of Holy Prophet(PBUH) that this ‘Treaty of Hudaibia’ proved to be conquest of Makkah after two years in 630 A.D. In that agreement Tribe ‘Banu Khuza’ was with Muslims and Holy Prophet(PBUH) .On the other hand ‘Banu Bakr ’ with Quraish. But Banu Bakr killed man from Banu Khuza within premises of Holy Haram. So, they broke treaty. It was in the treaty that attack on companion tribe is considered to be on party itself. So, Holy Prophet(PBUH) gave three choices to Quraish ; Break alliance with Banu Bakr Pay payment for blood Break treaty Quraish accepted third choice and broke the treaty. So, it had become easy for Muslims and they attacked on Makkah and conquered Makkah on 630 A.D without any blood shed . It was only due to diplomatic strategy of Holy Prophet(PBUH). On 629 A.D one year prior to conquer of Makkah , Holy Prophet(PBUH) sent his letters to different important lords of foreign countries to accept Islam like Yemen, Abyssinia, Persia,Bahrain , Egypt etc. Some of them accepted proposal of Holy Prophet(PBUH) and embraced Islam like Abyssinia and Yemen . For this purpose Holy Prophet(PBUH) sent only those emissaries who know foreign language of that country. A very basic technique of diplomatic rules. These were very special sealed letters and stamped by Holy Prophet(PBUH).Through these messages of Islam to different lords of Non-Arab and Arab Countries Muslims got following benefits. Message of Islam was sent out of Arab in over all world. Those important lords had come to know about teaching of teaching and some one embraced Islam like Abyssinia. They also knew that now Arab was no more pasture of warring Bedouins but under a strong central govt. In 630 A.D Muslims conquered Makkah under leadership of Holy Prophet(PBUH) . After this triumph , now whole Arab was under sway of Islam . After this Holy Prophet(PBUH) sent his envoys to foreign countries to preach Islam. For this Holy Prophet(PBUH) chose only well trained people . It was a point that Holy Prophet(PBUH) also chose Non-Muslims for this purpose if they were eligible . ‘Amr ibn Ummayh Al-Dumry’ was selected as envoy for Abyssinia because he already had good relations with them . So, Holy Prophet(PBUH) made a good diplomatic examples for diplomats round about 1500 years ago. So, it is our responsibility that we have to follow those examples of Holy Prophet(PBUH) while solving any diplomatic or regional issue. We also have to follow life of Holy Prophet(PBUH) in establishing relations with foreign countries. Life of Holy Prophet(PBUH) is like of open book. From it any one who want to get guide can access it regardless of religion, caste or color. But as a Muslim it is our religious responsibility that we follow life of Holy Prophet(PBUH) in every aspect of life. May Allah helps us to follow life of Holy Prophet(PBUH) (AMIN).
