Abstract

This research is considered one of the significant studies in the Prophetic biography (Sīrah), as it analyzes instances in which the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) made oaths. These oaths were only made in matters of great importance and profound significance, reflecting the weight of the topics addressed. The study aims to explore these instances and extract their religious, social, economic, and political implications, while also highlighting the educational and reformative dimensions they convey.

The research is divided into four main sections. The first section discusses the linguistic and terminological definitions of oaths, followed by an exploration of the religious aspect, emphasizing the role of oaths in strengthening faith and affirming core beliefs. The second section addresses the social dimension, demonstrating how the Prophet (peace be upon him) employed oaths to affirm moral principles such as justice, truthfulness, and social solidarity. The third section focuses on the economic aspect, presenting Prophetic oaths concerning financial matters and transactions, which underscore their significance in shaping a just society. The fourth section examines the political, administrative, and military aspects, shedding light on the role of oaths in establishing leadership principles and managing the affairs of the state.

The research concluded with a summary that included the most significant findings derived in this vital area of the Prophetic biography.
