The Administration of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Its Impact on the Contemporary States

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the administration during the time of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and illustrate its importance in today’s times. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) had introduced basic norms of Public Administration and practically presented an administrative model for the experts of Management Sciences disciplines. Many of the rules and regulations he (PBUH) laid out, in accordance to the Quranic command, ended up coinciding with the contemporary policies used today in many nations and even in the United Nations. He (PBUH) commanded his nation with honor, justice, equality, peace, and respect to humanity. All of these principles were practiced by him (PBUH) centuries before the contemporary world attempted to rule politics in a similar way. Thus, it can be said that many western countries have borrowed these basic principles of governmental rule from the first Islamic Welfare State of Madina.
