منهج الرسول صلي الله عليه وسلم في حماية المجتمع المسلم

Abstract

The prophet of Islam, peace be upon him, has put and executed an integrated plan to defend the first Muslims and the Muslim society since the dawn of the Islam Call. The plan has taken different shapes and used several means to achieve its goal.
 In Makah the plan relied on the educational doctrines and urged for patience and self control refraining from using force as there was no permission for fighting. The invocation of God and the prayers were carried out secretly. Some of the early believers were directed to emigrate to safe lands to escape persecution and oppression.
 In later development and according to a protective treaty with the people of Yathrib, the prophet himself and all his companions emigrated to live there where the unique Islamic society was established. The means of protecting and defending it also developed considerably. Many treaties and safe –conducts to restore peace and stop aggressions and offensives were signed with the people of Yathrib and with the neighboring tribes. The prophet and his companions were forced to fight defensive and preventing wars to defend the Muslims’ society: but they were never aggressive or oppressive ones.
