there is 1 more example of the relations with the states....
a makkan woman used to throw rubbish on holy prophet once she didnt throwed on inquiry the holy prophet was informed that she was ill the holy prophet took care of her till she was became allright his impresses her so much that she accepted islam this shows that holy prophet was kind to unbelievers.
tthe holy prophet received envoys frm egypt abyssina and many other countries they were basically nonmuslims the holy prophet gave them equal rights and treated them with respect. He himself would receive them and looked after them during their stay in medinah he was very strict in cordial relations with nonmuslims state.
Once some non muslims children were killed in the battle the holy prophet got very upset some 1 told him that they were unbelievers the holy prophet said even children of non muslims r better than u beware! do not killl children.

These examples shows that the HOLY PROPHET treated the non muslims equallly as they were muslims and gave them similar respect...
u can include these examples except charter of medinah. :D

Well, here is my suggested answer.

The Prophet maintained relations witht other states on basis of justice. The Quran says, "Be just, its next to piety". The Prophet always tried to maintain peaceful relations with others. For this purpose, he devised the Covenant of Madinah, in order to enjoy good relations with the Jews. The Covenant gave full religious and social freedom to Jews, and the Covenant also acted as the constitution of Madinah.

The Prophet signed the Treaty of Hudaybiya with the Quraish, just for the sake of peace, although the terms of the treaty were disadvantageous for muslims. The Quran says, "If they incline towards peace, you should also incline towards it". The Prophet also never violated the treaties he signed and always abode by the treaties signed by him, as the Quran also commands, "Fulfill your Obligations". In case of a war, the Prophet made sure that there was no unnecessary bloodshed. Like in the conquest of Makkah, only a few people who showed resistance were killed, all the rest were forgiven.
He also tried to have good relations with other heads of states. When the Ruler of Egypt sent some gifts to the Prophet, he accepted those gifts. He also wrote letters to several Emperors and invited them to Islam.

[Please add some points which I might be missing]

@ bikermicefrmars
Covenant of medina can never be included as jews were part of medina they were not a state and Write treaty of hudaibiya and roman + letters
and probably there is no chance of this question coming

i feel we could use charter of Madinah as a substitute...if it comes 3 incidents than we will write Letters to States instead....and will reference Charter of MAdinah at end...So by this it is resolved!!
Going by logic as well ER of 2006!!

Riba there is no longer a specific question. It will be mentioned in how are Quran and sunnah of the Prophet used together. in it you will right that Quran strictly forbids riba but Sunnah of the prophet has said that "bartering of gold for gold is riba except when it is from hand to hand and equal in amount"
