The role of governors in international politics has been a subject of debate and political theories since the birth of political entities. The modern governor is a leader who leads the people and manages regional affairs. The Islamic polity was developed by the Holy Prophet (SAW), and later on was further consolidated by Khulafa e Rashideen. Governors were not only governors but also administrators, taxation officials, judges, and managers. The power delegated to governors by the central authority was tight, and they were held accountable. Governors violating precedents, set laws, or codes of conduct were punished. The most important tasks included theological leadership and military recruitment, including fiscal issues. Piety was the first requisite for a provincial Amir or Wali to continue working on the same post. Appointments made by the Holy Prophet (SAW) provided detailed guidelines for the coming generations, clarifying the functions and authorities of provincial governors. This research paper aims to analyze different dimensions and various aspects of administration during the Prophetic era.
