One of the issues worthy of careful reflection concerns the manner in which the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) governed the society under his authority. In matters of governance and the implementation of rulings—rather than their legislation—the question arises as to whether the methods he adopted should be regarded as binding legal norms, or whether they were prudential measures contingent upon the specific circumstances of the time. Although various discussions have addressed this issue, much of the existing literature lacks a rigorous scientific approach and is largely shaped by the beliefs and convictions of its authors. A crucial yet often overlooked point in these discussions is the need to distinguish between actions carried out in the realm of implementation, based on the Prophet’s discretion and judgment, and those established by divine revelation. From a chronological perspective, the conduct of the Prophet (PBUH) may be divided into two distinct periods: his residence in Mecca, which lasted for more than thirteen years following his prophetic mission, and his residence in Medina, which spanned slightly over ten years. With regard to the nature of opposition and the opposing groups, four categories may be identified: the polytheists of Mecca, the Jews, the hypocrites residing in Medina, and the nomadic tribes and disbelieving Arabs. An examination of the Prophet’s conduct toward his opponents indicates that, prior to resorting to coercion or force, he predominantly relied on patience, forbearance, and gentleness. This approach—particularly his endurance of persecution over a period of thirteen years—cultivated steadfast and loyal companions who later supported him in times of hardship and peril. It was through the efforts of these individuals that the foundations of Islam and its governing system were firmly established.
