and love is that the first text he had written was a peace agreement.
After capturing Mecca, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) even released
all the polytheists who had previously tortured Muslims and treated
them with great compassion. This superior moral virtue exhibited by
the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was something that had never been
seen before in Arab society, and was met with great approval.

The Prophet (pbuh) is a role model for all Muslims on the subject
of the implementation of justice in conquered territories. Our Prophet
(pbuh) applied the justice revealed in the Qur'an to the inhabitants of
countries that were taken over and made agreements with them that

would content both sides and under which nobody would suffer the
slightest victimization. Our Prophet (pbuh) and the Companions with
him represented a community that established justice between people,
as expressed in the verse, "Among those We have created there is a
community who guide by the Truth and act justly according to it."
(Qur'an, 7:181)

The agreement that our Prophet (pbuh) made with the Christian
Najran people in the south of the Arabian peninsula is one of the finest
examples of his understanding and justice.

One of the articles in the treaty reads as follows:

"The lives of the people of Najran and its surrounding area,
their religion, their land, property, cattle and those of them
who are present or absent, their messengers and their places
of worship are under the protection of God and guardian-
ship of His Prophet." (The Pact of Najran, Article 6, http://

Following the agreements with all the societies in that region, our

Prophet (pbuh) founded the state of Medina by drawing up the first
constitution in the history of Islam, the Constitution of Medina. This
was the first and most perfect example of a democratic and multilater-
al constitution.
