| As Salamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu 7. A Letter to Harith bin Abi Shamir Al-Ghassani, King of Damascus: “In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
From Muhammad, Messenger of Allah to Al-Harith bin Abi Shamir.
Peace be upon him who follows true guidance, believes in it and regards it as true. I invite you to believe in Allah Alone with no associate, thence after your kingdom will remain yours.” Shuja‘ bin Wahab (Radhi Allahu Anhu) had the honour of taking the letter to Harith, who upon hearing the letter read in his audience, was madly infuriated and uttered: “Who dares to disposs me of my country, I’ll fight him (the Prophet),” and arrogantly rejected the Prophet’s invitation to the fold of Islam. | |
