An Insight into the Covenants of the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) as an Inspiration for the Contemporary World
Covenants play a pivotal role in international relations in pursuing peace processes, de-escalating hostilities, and resolving conflicts. Islam advocates all those methods that promote peace as long as they are not contrary to the core principles of Islam and treaties are one such way to achieve peaceful co-existence on the global landscape. This study explores the humane aspects of the treaties concluded by the Holy Prophet (PBUH) which were founded on high moral grounds in order to eliminate oppression and tyranny by all means. Furthermore, the study also unfolds the circumstances which provided grounds to terminate the treaties. The glorious conduct of the Holy Prophet PBUH sets demonstrations for negotiation, conclusion, and observance of the covenants and sets high standards of ethics in the promotion of peace for the coexistence of multi-ethnic societies thus providing a benchmark to follow for the contemporary Muslim world.
