Modern Approaches in Seerah Writing With Special Reference to Muslim International Law: An Analytical Study

Islam is the final religion of Allah Almighty and it is meant to guide all the people of all the times till the Day of Judgment. In order to implement this message of guidance in this world and to give it a practical shape Allah Almighty sent Prophet Muḥammad ( صلى الله عليه وسلم ) who conveyed this message to the people with the help of great wisdom and excellent advice and establish a society on the basis of this message. The Sīrah of Prophet Muḥammad ( صلى الله عليه وسلم ) provides such rules and regulations which are helpful in addressing the needs of individuals and society of all times and ages. Although the world has been changing ever since its creation, yet the pace of change in the last one hundred years or so has been the most rapid ever.
