Summary/Abstract: This article analyses the diplomatic correspondence of the Messenger of Allah, s.w.s. with the heads of states of his time and his principles of communication. Through several different examples, the manner in which Muhammad s.w.s. used to establish communication with various heads of state is analysed here. It studies his strategy in establishing contacts, evaluating the authenticity of documents, and choosing his ambassadors for the mission, in his correspondence with the kings of Abyssinia, Persia, Byzantine and Egypt, which reflects respect and subtleness in his call to the faith and the Tawheed. Finally, the article derives conclusions deducing the basic principles of Messinger’s s.w.s. correspondence from the beginning to the end of the letter, his stress on the essence of Islam, showing respect, and highlighting the similarities of faiths as a main cohesive factor.
