SUSTAINABLE CONFLICT RESOLUTION: A CASE STUDY OF THE CONQUEST OF MAKKAH

Abstract

Whether East or West, the stature of Prophet Muhammad (upon whom be peace) is an acknowledged one because of his magnanimity which is not reserved for Muslims alone. The resolution of the conflicts in his life had not only been creative and constructive but also non-violent; achieving sustainable development goals simultaneously. This paper analyses the situation at the conquest of Makkah from the life of the last Prophet in Islam from the perspective of sustainable development. It explores the situation as early as the Treaty of Hudaibiya and examines it under the framework of the United Nation’s sustainable development goals and popular nongame theory of negotiation reviewed by P.H. Gulliver. It, therefore, concludes that the Seerah of the Prophet is a progressive tool to transpire the national and international agenda for sustainable development and can serve as an approach towards multi-disciplinary collaboration to attain peace in the region and ultimately in the whole wide world
