INTERNATIONAL LEGAL PERSONALITY OF PROPHET
MUHAMMAD (PBUH)
Mohd Hisham Mohd Kamal*
ABSTRACT
An international legal person is a subject of international law who
enjoys rights, duties or powers in international law and the capacity to
act on the international plane. Under modern international law, States
are international persons, whereas private individuals are not. This
article discusses whether Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) of the religion of
Islam was an international legal person. Evidence shows that his
correspondences with other States and nations were in his name
Muhammad ibn 'Abdullali or Muhammad the Messenger of Allah,
and not as the head of the City-State of Medina. Was he recognised as
such by the international community at that time? This work finds that
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was accepted by the international
community during his time as an international legal person. His
personality was due to his unique position as a prophet.
