Abstract

Various countries have designed different principles to govern their foreign

policy and most of the time, these principles stand to benefit the country

concerned neglecting the interest of others. In this paper, we shall examine

the Islamic foreign policy principles using the covenants of the holy Prophet

Muhammad. For the fact that the messages of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, to the kings and princes are considered a turning point in the foreign policy of

the Messenger’s state, which magnified its importance, as it had a religious

and political status among states, and that was only to indicate the

universality of his mission. Therefore, thirteen universal principles were derived from this old heritage of the Muslims which can serve as an alternative to the present principles. These

derived principles are based on justice and equity for an egalitarian society using library and analytical methodology. The principles are not only for consumption of the Muslims but humanity as

a whole will greatly benefit from it.
