The foreign policy is the State’s relationship with other states. This relationship entails looking after the foreign affairs of the Ummah. The Islamic State’s foreign policy is based on a fixed concept that does not change. This is the propagation of Islam and the conveyance of the Message to every nation and every society. This is the very basis of the Islamic State’s foreign policy. The basis never changes and never differs or varies no matter who rules the State. This basis has always been maintained and it has been carried out at all times, from the time when the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) settled in Madinah to the last day of the ‘Uthmani State. .
Manzon Allah ﷺ ya kafa manufar Daular Musulunci bisa tushen yada Musulunci tun daga ranar farko da ya isa Madina. Ya ﷺ sanya hannu kan yarjejeniya da Yahudawa domin ya mayar da hankali wajen faɗaɗa Saƙon a Hijaz. Ya ﷺ sanya hannu kan yarjejeniyar al-Hudaybiyah da Quraishawa domin yada Saƙon a Tsibirin Larabawa. A ƙarshe, ya ﷺ aika da jakadu zuwa ƙasashen waje da ke wajen Tsibirin, da manufar kafa dangantaka bisa yada Musulunci, ta hanyar kiran su su karɓi Musulunci.
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) set up the policy of the Islamic State on the basis of spreading Islam since the very first day he (pbuh) arrived in Madinah. He (pbuh) signed treaties with the Jews in order to concentrate on extending the Message in Hijaz. He (pbuh) signed the treaty of al-Hudaybiyah with the Quraysh in order to spread the Message in the Arabian Peninsula. Finally, he (pbuh) sent envoys to the countries outside the Peninsula with the aim of establishing relations based on the spreading of Islam, by inviting them to embrace it. .
Daga baya, sai Khulafa'ansa suka biyo baya. Su ma sun kulla alaka da dukkan sauran jihohi bisa tushen yada Musulunci, kuma su ma sun ci gaba da isar da Saƙon Musulunci ga duniya. Dukkan shugabannin Musulmi da suka hau mulki sun yi gasa wajen yada Musulunci. Umayyawa a zahiri sun fi Abbasiyawa nasara wajen cin kasashe da yada Musulunci, kuma Usmanawa sun ci kasashe da yawa kuma sun yada Musulunci fiye da Mamluk. Wannan bambanci ya samo asali ne daga irin muhimmancin da Daula take ba manufofinta na waje, tare da wasu dalilai. Yada Musulunci koyaushe yana zama tushen da ake kafa alaka da sauran jihohi a kai. Wannan bai taba canzawa ba a lokacin mulkin dukkan Khulafa'i. Aikin Daula shi ne aiwatar da Musulunci a cikin gida da kuma isar da Saƙonsa ga duniya. Saboda haka, aikin Daular Musulunci koyaushe shi ne isar da Saƙon Musulunci. Abin da ke sa isar da yada Musulunci ya zama tushen manufofin waje shi ne cewa Saƙon an aika shi ga dukkan bil'adama. Allah (SWT) yana cewa: "Kuma ba mu aiko ka ba (ya Muhammadu) face a matsayin mai bada bushara da mai gargadi ga dukkan mutane, amma yawancin mutane ba su sani ba." [Saba', 34:28].
Afterwards, came his Khulafa’. They also established relations with all the other states on the basis of spreading Islam, and they too continued to carry the Message of Islam to the world. All the Muslim rulers who came to power competed in the spreading of Islam. The Ummayads were actually more successful in conquering other countries and spreading Islam than the Abbasids, and the ‘Uthmanis conquered more countries and spread Islam more than the Mamluks. This disparity was due, however, to the priorities the State would give to its foreign policy among other factors. The spreading of Islam always remained the basis upon which the relationship with other states was established. This has never changed throughout the rule of all the Khulafah. The duty of the State is to implement Islam at home and to carry its Message to the world. Therefore, the task of the Islamic State has always been to carry the Message of Islam. What actually makes the conveyance and spreading of Islam the basis of the foreign policy is the fact that the Message is addressed to the whole of mankind. Allah (swt) says, . “And we have not sent you (O Muhammad) except as a giver of glad tidings and a warner to all mankind, but most of men know not.” [Saba’, 34:28]. .
Allah (SWT) ya kuma ce: "Ya ku mutane! Lalle ne ya zo muku da shawara mai kyau daga Ubangijinku." [Yunus, 10:57].
Allah (swt) also says, . “O mankind! There has come to you a good advice from your Lord.” [Yunus, 10:57]. .
Ya ce, "Ka ce: Ya ku mutane! Lalle ni Manzon Allah ne da aka aiko zuwa gare ku duka." [Al-A'raf, 7:158].
He I says, . “Say, O mankind! Verily, I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah.” [Al A’raf, 7:158]. .
Ya ce, "An yi wa ni wannan Alkur'ani wahayi domin in yi muku gargaɗi da shi, da duk wanda ya isa gare shi." [Al-An'am, 6:19].
And He I says, . “This Qur’an has been revealed to me that I may warn therewith you and whomsoever it may reach.” [Al-An’am, 6:19]. .
Ya kuma ce, "Ya Manzo (Muhammadu ﷺ)! Ka isar da abin da aka saukar maka daga Ubangijinka. Idan kuwa ba ka yi haka ba, to ba ka isar da saƙonsa ba." [Al-Ma'idah, 5:67].
He I also says, . “O Messenger (Muhammad (pbuh))! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent to you from your Lord. And if you do not, then you have not conveyed His Message.” [Al-Ma’idah, 5:67]. .
Manzon Allah ﷺ ya isar da Saƙon ga mutane, kuma bayan rasuwarsa ﷺ Musulmi sun ci gaba da ɗaukar Musulunci. Isar da Saƙon Musulunci a zahiri ci gaba ne na aikin da Manzon Allah ﷺ ya fara. Musulmi sun bi koyarwarsa ﷺ, suka ci gaba da yaɗa Saƙon Musulunci. Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce a cikin Khutbatul Wada' (huduba ta bankwana): "Wanda yake nan ya isar wa wanda ba ya nan, domin wanda ba ya nan zai iya fahimta fiye da wanda ke saurare." Ya kuma ce ﷺ: "Allah ya haskaka fuskar mutumin da ya ji maganata, ya fahimce ta, ya isar da ita kamar yadda ya ji ta."
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) conveyed the Message to mankind, and when he (pbuh) died Islam continued to be carried by the Muslims. The conveyance of the Islamic Message is in fact the continuation of the work that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) had initiated. The Muslims followed his (pbuh) teachings and continued spreading the Message of Islam. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said in his Khutbah al-Wada’ (farewell speech), “Would the present tell the absent, for the absent may be more conscious than the listener.” He (pbuh) also said, “May Allah brighten a man who listened to my saying, understood it and conveyed it as he heard it.”. .
Wannan ya sa isar da kiran Musulunci ya zama tushen dangantakar Daular Musulunci da sauran ƙasashe a lokacin rayuwar Manzon Allah ﷺ da kuma a zamanin khalifofinsa bayansa. Kuma wannan hukuncin Ubangiji ne mai yanke hukunci kuma tabbatacce, wanda Littafi da Sunnah da kuma ijmâ'in Sahabbai suka tabbatar.
This is why the conveyance of the Islamic call has become the basis of the Islamic State’s relationship with other states during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) and in the days of his Khulafah after him. And this is the Divine rule which is decisive and conclusive, in evidence by the Book and the Sunnah and the general consensus of the Sahabah. .
Saboda haka, manufofin wajen Daular Musulunci na waje shi ne isar da Saƙon Musulunci ga duniya. Ana aiwatar da wannan manufa ta hanyar wata tsayayyiyar hanya da ba ta taɓa canzawa ba, wadda ita ce Jihadi, ba tare da la'akari da wanda ke kan mulki ba.

Therefore, the foreign policy of the Islamic State is to convey the Islamic Message to the world. This policy is implemented by a defined method that never changes, which is Jihad, regardless of who is in authority. Since the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) founded the State until the end of the Islamic State, this method never changed. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) prepared the army soon after founding the Islamic State. He (pbuh) initiated Jihad in order to remove the material obstacles that stood in the way of the Islamic Da’wah. The Quraysh was that material obstacle, so he (pbuh) decided to remove it. Then he (pbuh) went on to destroy the Quraysh’s existence, the very existence that stood in the way of the Islamic Da’wah. He (pbuh) also removed and destroyed other obstacles until Islam engulfed the whole of the Arabian Peninsula. Then the Islamic State began knocking on the doors of other nations to spread Islam among them. It found that the existing ruling systems formed a material obstacle in the face of the Da’wah, thus they had to be removed in order to reach the people themselves and invite them to Islam so that they could visualize and feel the justice of Islam, observe the prosperity and decent living under its banner, and invite the people to a better life without compulsion or coercion. Jihad continued as a method of spreading Islam, and by the means of Jihad many countries were conquered. By means of Jihad, kingdoms and states were removed and Islam ruled the same people and nations. Islam was spread and was embraced by hundreds of millions of people after they had been ruled by it. The method used in implementing that foreign policy was Jihad. It has never changed and never will. .
Jihadi shi ne kira zuwa ga Musulunci wanda ya ƙunshi yaƙi, ko bayar da gudummawar dukiya, ra'ayi, ko adabi don yaƙin. Wajibi ne, an tabbatar da shi a cikin Alƙur'ani da Hadisi. Musulmi ba su taɓa fara yaƙi da abokin gaba ba kafin su fara gabatar da Musulunci, ko kuma, na biyu, Jizyah. Dokar Ubangiji game da Jihadi ita ce, idan abokin gaba ya kewaye su, za a gayyace su su karɓi Musulunci. Idan suka karɓa, za su zama wani ɓangare na Ummar Musulunci, kuma yaƙi da su zai zama haram.

Idan suka ki Musulunci kuma suka ƙi biyan Jizyah, to yaƙi zai zama halal.
Jihad is the call to Islam which involves fighting, or the contribution of either money, opinions, or literature towards the fighting. It is an obligation, confirmed in the Qur’an and the Hadeeth. The Muslims never started the fight against an enemy before firstly proposing Islam or secondly the Jizyah. The Divine rule concerning Jihad is that if the enemy was surrounded they would be invited to embrace Islam and if they accepted then they would become a part of the Islamic Ummah and fighting them would be forbidden. If they refused Islam, then they would be asked to pay the Jizyah and if they paid it, their lives and assets would be safe and their country would become part of the Islamic State. They would enjoy the justice, equity, protection, guardianship and welfare enjoyed by the Muslims, and all their basic needs would be secured. Additionally, they would have to pledge allegiance to the State and the regime. If they rejected Islam and refused to pay the Jizyah then the fighting would be lawful. .
Saboda haka, yaƙi da abokan gaba ba zai zama halal ba sai an isar da kiran Musulunci ga mutane. Malamai sun jaddada cewa haramun ne a gare mu mu yaƙi waɗanda ba su karɓi kiran Musulunci ba. Don haka, ra'ayin jama'a game da Musulunci, da isar da hoto na gaskiya game da Musulunci, tare da yunƙurin barin dokokin Musulunci su isa ga mutane domin su iya fahimtar cewa Musulunci yana ba su ceto na gaskiya, ya kamata su gabaci duk wani yaƙi. Dole ne Ƙasar Musulunci ta gudanar da aikin siyasa kamar bayar da cikakken hoto na Musulunci da bayyana ra'ayoyinsa, yin kamfen da talla ga Musulunci. Irin waɗannan matakai sun haɗa da nuna ƙarfi da kuma nuna ƙarfin Ƙasar Musulunci, ciki har da jarumtaka da ƙudurin Musulmi. Manzon Allah ﷺ yana yin irin waɗannan dabaru. Yana aika wakilai zuwa cikin zuciyar ƙasashen kafirai. A wata dama, ya aika mutum arba'in zuwa ga mutanen Najd domin isar da saƙon Musulunci. Ya kuma nuna ƙarfin rundunar a Madina kafin ya tafi Tabuk. Saboda haka Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce: "An ba ni nasara ta hanyar tsoro a zukatan abokan gaba, tafiyar wata ɗaya."
Therefore, fighting the enemy would not become lawful until the call to Islam had been delivered to the people. The scholars have stressed that it is unlawful for us to fight those who have not received the Islamic call. Thus, public opinion about Islam, and the conveyance of a true image of Islam, together with attempts to allow the Islamic laws to reach the people in order to enable them to realize that Islam offers them a true salvation should precede any fighting. The Islamic State should undertake political work such as giving a clear picture of Islam and explaining its concepts, campaigning and advertising Islam. Such moves should include muscle flexing and displaying the might of the Islamic State, including the courage and resolve of the Muslims. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) would perform such maneuvers. He (pbuh) would send envoys to the heart of the disbelieving countries. On one occasion he (pbuh) sent forty men to the people of Najd to convey the Message of Islam. He (pbuh) also displayed the might of the army in Madinah before he went to Tabuk. This was why the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, “I was given the victory through the fear in the enemy, of a month’s marching distance.”.
Rundunar Musulmi ta kasance koyaushe abar tsoro da girmamawa. Shekaru aru-aru, Turai ta dade tana riƙe da ra'ayin cewa rundunar Musulmi ba za ta taba shan kaye ba. Duk da haka, dabarun siyasa suna da muhimmanci, musamman waɗanda ke taimakawa wajen yaɗa ra'ayoyin Musulunci da nuna ƙarfin Ƙasa kafin a koma ga gwagwarmayar makami.

Al'amari ne mai muhimmanci da aka tsara don tantance dangantakar Ƙasa da sauran ƙasashe, mutane da al'ummomi, ko waɗannan dangantaka ta tattalin arziki ce ko ta maƙwabtaka mai kyau ko kuma wani tushe dabam wanda zai iya taimakawa wajen yaɗa Musulunci.
. The Muslim army has always been feared and respected. For centuries, Europe always held that the Muslim army could never be defeated. However, political maneuvers are essential, especially those which help to spread the Islamic concepts and demonstrate the power of the State before resorting to armed struggle. Although Jihad is the fixed method that never changes in the spreading of Islam, the political maneuvers and other deliberate moves are all part of preparation, and is essential prior to actual combat. It is an important matter designed at determining the relationship of the State with other states, people and nations, whether these were economic or based on good neighborly relations or any other basis that may help to spread Islam. .
Saboda haka, tsarin siyasa wanda dangantakar Jiha da sauran jihohi ta dogara a kansa shi ne yada Musulunci a tsakanin su da isar da Saƙon zuwa gare su. Hanyar da ya kamata a bi ita ce Jihadi. Duk da haka, akwai hanyoyi da tsare-tsare da yawa waɗanda Jiha take farawa ko ta karɓa. Misali, tana iya kulla yarjejeniyar zaman makwabta mai kyau da wasu daga cikin abokan gābanta, sannan ta yi yaƙi da wasu. Manzon Allah ﷺ ya amince da irin waɗannan matakai tun lokacin da ya isa Madina ﷺ. Jiha tana iya shelanta yaƙi a kan dukkan abokan gābanta a lokaci guda. Abubakar ya yi haka lokacin da ya aika da sojoji zuwa Iraki da Sham a lokaci guda. Jiha tana iya amincewa da tsagaita wuta na ɗan lokaci, wanda zai ba ta damar haifar da ra'ayin jama'a don samun sakamakon da take so.
Therefore, the political idea on which the State’s relationship with other states is based on is the spreading of Islam among them and the carrying of the Message to them. The method that should be followed is Jihad. However, there are several ways and plans which the State initiates or adopts. It would for instance sign a good neighborly treaty with some enemies and fight others. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) approved such measures ever since he (pbuh) arrived in Madinah. The State could declare war against all its enemies simultaneously. Abu Bakr did so when he sent the armies to Iraq and al-Sham at the same time. The State could agree to temporary truces, enabling it to create public opinion for a desired outcome. .
Wannan shi ne abin da Manzon Allah ﷺ ya yi lokacin da ya rattaba hannu kan yarjejeniyar Hudaibiyya. Gwamnati kuma za ta iya yin amfani da fadan kananan yankuna a matsayin hanyar firgita abokan gaba. Haka lamarin ya kasance lokacin da Manzon Allah ﷺ ya aika rundunonin yaki da dama kafin Yakin Badar, kuma a lokacin da Umayyawa suka yi mulki sun yi amfani da irin wannan dabara a kan Rumawa, ciki har da yakin bazara da na damina.
That is what the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) did when he (pbuh) signed the treaty of al-Hudaybiyah. The State could also resort to local skirmishes as a means of terrorizing the enemy. This was the case when the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) sent several expeditions out prior to the Battle of Badr, and when the Ummayads were in power they used the same tactics against the Romans, including summer and winter campaigns. .
Dawlah na iya kuma sanya hannu kan yarjejeniyoyin tattalin arziki da wasu ƙasashe, a lokaci guda kuma ba ta yi huldar kasuwanci da wasu ba, la'akari da maslahar Da'wah zuwa ga Musulunci. Tana iya kasancewa tana da huldar diflomasiyya da wasu ƙasashe, kuma ba da wasu ba. Wannan zai kasance bisa ga tsararren shiri da aka yi da kyau domin a tafiyar da Da'wah zuwa wata hanya mai kyau. Dawlah na iya komawa ga farfaganda da talla domin yaɗa Da'wah, ko kuma ta yi amfani da hanyar bayyana makircin abokan gaba da dabarun yaƙin sanyi.
The State could also sign economic treaties with some countries, while at the same time not have trade relations with others, taking into account the interest of the Da’wah for Islam. It could have diplomatic relations with some countries and not with others. This would be according to a carefully designed plan to take the Da’wah in a favorable direction. The State could resort to propaganda and advertising in order to spread the Da’wah, or it could use the method of divulging the enemies schemes and cold war tactics.

Shirin tsare-tsaren Jiha zai kasance daidai da yanayin aikin da za a gudanar, kuma an mayar da shi don amfanin Da'wah ta Musulunci. Waɗannan tsare-tsare sun kasance koyaushe suna taimakawa wajen yada Musulunci da sauƙaƙa aikin Jihadi, saboda haka suna da mahimmanci wajen aiwatar da manufofin ƙasashen waje. Ra'ayin jama'a game da Musulunci da Ƙasar Musulunci koyaushe yana da mahimmanci wajen yada Musulunci ta hanyarsa ta ƙayyadaddiya, wadda ita ce Jihadi a tafarkin Allah.
The State’s planning would be in accordance with the nature of the work to be undertaken and geared towards the benefit of the Islamic Da’wah. These plans have always helped the spreading of Islam and eased the task of Jihad, therefore they are necessary in implementing the foreign policy. Public opinion about Islam and the Islamic State has always been necessary to spread Islam by its fixed method, which is Jihad in the way of Allah.
