Under modern international law, States are international persons, whereas private individuals are not. This article discusses whether Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) of the religion of Islam was an international legal person. Evidence shows that his correspondences with other States and nations were in his name Muhammad ibn 'Abdullali or Muhammad the Messenger of Allah, and not as the head of the City-State of Medina. Was he recognised as such by the international community at that time? This work finds that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was accepted by the international community during his time as an international legal person. His personality was due to his unique position as a prophet.
