If you ever understood politics, the law written doesn't enact or legislate itself through any book or text alone. The law written down in text or book only recorded what law can be or have been used. They laws have to be enacted by people under the ruler or government to be used, otherwise the law in text are just empty words.
If Muhammad tell people want to do, how to do it, etc, this in essence he is ruling or governing on behalf of the Qur'an or Islam. And in war, if he dictate the strategy or tactics, or dictate the terms of peace, treaty or surrender, then he is a ruler.
You don't need a crown or scepter or throne to run the country. You don't need the palace.
After Saul's death, David ruled the tribe of Judah for a number of years (can't remember the number of years), without a palace, throne, crown and scepter. It wasn't until after he united the other tribes of Israel under his rule.
It is the same as religion. You can have religion for a nation, without temple, or any other building. No temple or other structure are needed for worship. For years, decades and centuries, the ark of covenant was housed in a tent. Although David had plan to build a temple, this temple wasn't built until his son Solomon had it built.
You can be ruler without a crown or throne. And you can certainly rule without the title of king.
It is hard for you to understand. Do I need to understand politics to see how Islam was running things ? NO ! Politics is men made. Quraan is the word of God.
Politics leads to violence. The word of God leads to peace
