This paper examines how peace treaties can influence the dissemination of Da’wah Islamiyah among non-Muslims, using the consequences of the Khudaibiya (Hudaibiya) Treaty as a case study. It argues that peaceful coexistence and security in society help non-Muslims understand Islam correctly and enter Islam voluntarily. The study reviews the treaty’s events from the Prophet’s biography and Islamic history, identifies motives and objectives of the Islamic call for peace, and evaluates outcomes for Muslim and non-Muslim relations.
