The diplomacy employed by the
leader Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) has got numerous facets amongst which
some have already been talked about regarding the delegation of
his ambassadors to various cities and states considering them as
his diplomatic system who would bring glad tidings to the people
there about his State and focus their attention to the necessity
of respecting its sovereignty in addition to its being a kind of
acquainting the people, wherever they settle, with his religion
and more important to him than that is the matter of taking care
about the relevant protocols at that time being.
The noble Prophet (P.B.U.H.) has
also provided them with documents for enhancing the fact of their
representation of him on the one hand and the verification of
their being appointed by him on the other hand; besides
benefiting from the privilege of their competence in the language
of the state to which each one of them will be
employed.
The Prophet, Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) has also
established the principle of respecting the envoys and messengers
of the states and other countries who are residing there by his
ambassadors to the host countries and not to interfere in the
affairs of any delegate, of whatever country he may be and
howsoever tense the conflict or discord may be with
them.
Within this domain, the Prophet (P.B.U.H.)
has accepted some of those whom he sent as envoys to represent
his State but turn to be misrepresentative of him-a character
like Musailama, nick-named Al-Kadhab" which means the "liar" for
he falsely claimed of being a prophet but the Prophet Muhammad
(P.B.U.H.) didn't reply as rudely as he did to Muhammad
(P.B.U.H.) with regard to his misbehavior with the ambassadors of
the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.)
It is, also what is called today as: " the
Settlement of Residence," run by a highly diplomatic system with
the aim of receiving and accommodating the forthcoming
delegations from different countries.
We should not forget to employ it
as a diplomatic tactic for signing and endorsing treaties,
covenants, agreements and alliances which can be regarded as a
suppository solution i.e. a diplomatic treatment which renders
all the options on display and ready for discussion prior to the
option of war.
