When the prophet Muhammad at a certain time in his messengership, in the Medina, send letters to various rulers and dignitaries throughout the world at time, including the Persian Roman Emperor. For example, the Pope in Rome negus of abyssinia more colchis. The leader of the Copts in Egypt, and one of these letters, reached her Oculus her Oculus, was the Roman Emperor at the time.
And when her Oculus received this letter, he called for his translator and he gathered together, some of the Arabs who were there at the time and one of them happened to be Abu sufian Abu sufian was a cousin of the prophet and he was the leader of Mecca and the leader of the pagans at The time and he happened to be in Jerusalem. When her Oculus received this letter, he called for his translator who translating her Oculus has questions said to them, who amongst you is closely
related to that, man, who claims to be a prophet and I will sofyan replied. I am the nearest relative to him and her Oculus said, bring him close to me and make his companions stand behind him. Her oculist Old his translator to tell Abu sofyan companions that he wanted to put some questions to me. Regarding that, man. And that if I told the LIE, they should contradict me.
So though we are there within the court of her Oculus and her Oculus is saying okay, you your companions stand behind you and if he tells a lie you must tell me that he's lying. Now I will sofyan said by Allah had, I not been afraid that my companions were going to label me a liar. I would have not have spoken the truth about the profit. So the first question Dracula's ask, I will Sofia knows this. What family status has he amongst you Abu sufian replied.
He belongs to a noble, family, amongst us, then her Oculus asked. Has anybody else amongst you ever claimed the same before him? I replied. No. Was any amongst his ancestors? A king her Oculus asked. Again I will sofyan replied no her Oculus asked do the Nobles or the poor follow him? I've also film replied. It is the poor who follow him and then the her Oculus asked all his followers increasing or decreasing. I was a fan replied. They are increase, then he
asked. Does anybody amongst those who Embrace? His religion become displeased and renounce, the religion afterwards. I was around replied. No her Oculus then said, have you ever accused him of telling lies before his claim? Again I was a fiancée is not irregular says, does he break his truce? I was sofyan replied. No, we are a truce with him now and we don't know what he's going to do in it. And I will sofyan said I could not find opportunity to say anything against the prophet
except that time. Then her Oculus asked. Have you ever had a war with him? And he I will Sofia and said yes. What was the outcome of the battles? Well, sometimes we were victorious and sometimes he was Victorious and then her Oculus asked What does he order you to
do an adverse effect on replied? He tells us to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to worship anything along with him and to renounce all that our ancestors had said he orders us to pray, the speak, the truth to be chaste and to keep good relation with our kith and kin. Miraculous asked the translator to convey The following. I asked you about his family and you'll reply was that he belonged to a very Noble family. In fact, all the profits come from noble families.
Amongst their respective people's, I questioned you, whether anybody else among you claim such a thing and you reply was in the - if the answer had been in the affirmative, I would have suspected this man was following the previous man statement. Then I asked you whether Do any of his ancestors was a king and you said no, if you had said yes I would have thought that this man was trying to take back his
kingdom. In other words, use the mantle of prophethood to try and take back the kingdom. Then I asked you if he was ever accused of telling lies before this before his claim to prophethood, and you said no. And then I wondered how can a person who never lies to people Lie about Allah, How could a person who never lies the people lie about Allah and then I asked you, whether the rich people are the poor people follow him and you said that the poor people
follow him. And so it is with all the prophets, they have always been followed by that type of people, the prophets are always followed by the poor and the weak and the oppressed. Then I asked you, whether his followers were increasing or decreasing, you said they were in, Increasing and that is the way of true Faith until it is. Complete in all respects. I further asked you. If there was anybody who after embracing his religion became
displeased and discarded. His religion and you said No in fact this is the sign of true faith when it's Delight enters the heart and mixes with them completely, I asked you whether he had ever betrayed you said no and All the prophets, never
betray. I asked you what he ordered you to do, and you told me that he ordered you to worship, Allah and Allah alone and not to worship anything else along with him and forbade, you from worshiping idols and told you to pray and to speak the truth and not commit illegal fornication.
If what you said is true, he will very soon occupy, this place underneath my feet and I knew it from the Options that he was going to appear, but I did not know that he would be from you, and if I could reach him, definitely, I would go immediately to meet him. And if I was with him, I would wash his feet, her Oculus then asked for the letter of the Prophet, which was delivered by idea to the governor of Bora and then it was forwarded to her Oculus to read.
And this is what the letter said in the name of Allah, the beneficent Patient. The merciful, from Muhammad, the slave of God, and his Messenger to her Oculus, the ruler of the byzantines, peace, be upon him who follows the right path. Furthermore, I invite you to Islam, and if you become a Muslim, you will be safe and Allah will double your reward. And if you reject this invitation, you will be committing a sin by misguiding your peasants.
O people of the scripture, come to a work, common between you and us that we worship none. But Allah, and the we associate nothing in worship with him and that none of us should take Lords besides Allah. Then if they turn away, say, bear witness, that we are Muslims. This is, of course, the translation of a verse of the Quran and Abu sofyan added when her Oculus had finished his speech. And had read the letter. There was a great Hue and cry in the Royal courts and we were
turned out of the court. I said to my companions, surely the issue of even a become shh and that was a type of derogatory term. They used a nickname, they use for the prophet salallahu Assam. His affair has become so prominent. That even the king of the byzantines is afraid of him, and then I started to become, sure. That he would be the Conqueror in the near future until I embraced Islam.
