The subject of this study is the political powers of the Prophet according to the Holy Qur’an، that God Almighty has revealed His Noble Book as a guidance for all people to bring them out of darkness into light، The Holy Qur’an paid great attention to politics، but we do not find the word “politics” in the Holy Qur’an. We found its contents، It came in a number of verses، expressions and terms in the verses، including governance، kingship، succession، justice، pledge of allegiance and caliphate. All of these words mean politics. During the life of the Holy Prophet  in Mecca، most of it was political from the secret da’wah، and the house of al-Arqam Ibn Abi al-Arqam was taken as a center for them to gather and spread the da’wah. Then came the command of God Almighty to announce the public message of the Messenger Muhammad  and the warnings of his close relatives and after he entered Islam a group of men، the Quraish tortured them،  The Prophet  ordered his Muslim companions to migrate to Abyssinia، and the Quraish continued to lay plans and plots to kill the Prophet  God’s order came to leave Mecca، And that the Messenger of God gathered some of the men from the people of Yathrib in the first pledge of allegiance to Aqaba، and the Messenger took his emigration to Yathrib. On this blessed night، he made his cousin Imam Ali (peace be upon him) a substitute for the Prophet in his bed. The Messenger  set out on that night heading to Yathrib، and after several days the Prophet arrived in Yathrib، And the first work that the Prophet did was build the mosque to show his important role as the center of Islamic leadership for Muslims to gather in it and establish prayer and to whatever command the Prophet wanted  and made the mosque the home of judgment and judgment، As for the political aspect of the Holy Qur’an، we see in some surahs they direct them to military escalation، as came in Surah Muhammad، which contains a statement and announcing the war. In some surahs، we see that the Holy Qur’an directs them to calm down military action، as it came in Surat Al-Fath. As for the honorable biography and the principles from which the Prophet branched off، they are among the giants of humankind. After the difficult days that he and his family and friends lived through in Mecca، he decided to emigrate to Yathrib، and after entering، its name was changed to Medina. And in this constitution، there are clauses that pertain to the people of Medina، clauses that pertain to immigrants and Ansar، and clauses that pertain to the Jews، And after God Almighty granted the honorable Prophet Muhammad  the conquest of Mecca، and the Prophet  became the commander-in-chief of Mecca and Medina، and he sent correspondences to the world’s kings about their conversion to Islam، And the life of the Prophet  is all about politics and wisdom in various areas of life، slam issued political freedom in all its systems and principles، and among these controls political freedoms opened the door to citizens in the Islamic state. Likewise، Islam enjoins participation in political matters. Rather، it is a right and it is one of the duties، We also see that the Prophet  took great interest in administrative matters and business management، including planning and the use of skilled people in these jobs، and even employed the female component in some control matters. The Prophet  wrote in his constitution that Muslims are a single nation and the policy of the Prophet  and his powers do not deviate from the words of God Almighty، as He، Glorified and Exalted be He، said: (And he does not speak out of desire، for it is nothing but a revelation that is revealed).
