SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The covenants of the Prophet Muhammad have until very recently been regarded as forgeries by both Muslim and non-Muslim academics. Following the publication of Dr. John Andrew Morrow's book The Covenants of the Prophet Muhammad with the Christians of the World, there has been a renewed interest in the covenants. This thesis therefore builds on the research conducted by Morrow and a paper published by myself entitled 'The Prophet's Treaty with the Christians of Najran: An Analytical Study to Determine the Authenticity of the Covenants'. The thesis argues that the covenants are indeed genuine and authentic documents that were issued by the Prophet and whose terms and conditions were to apply from the time they were written until the Day of Judgment. As such their policy implications are still applicable today.
