PACT OF AKBAR BIN ABDUL QAIS
In the name Of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
From Muhammad, Prophet of Allah --
To Akbar bin Abdul Qais
1. In the days of ignorance, those of them, who took part in
mischief and riots and the sins they committed, Allah and His Prophet have no
responsibility therein. But in future, it shall be obligatory on these people
to fulfil their promise.
2. Neither shall the supply of their provisions and grains be
interfered with, nor shall they be harassed at the time of the ripening of fruit.
3. They shall have the right to the use of the collected rain
water.
4. 'Ula bin Al Hazarmi (Raziallah AnhoA.) shall continue to
supervise them on behalf of the Holy Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam). It is
obligatory on the people of Bahrain to co-operate with him.
5. It shall be incumbent on the Muslim army to share with them
the goods captured in religious wars and treat them fairly and justly. At the
time of religious wars moderation and the middle course of action, should be
kept in view.
6. The two parties shall not be entitled to an alteration in
this pact; These people shall neither alter any pact, or depart from it.
7. Allah and His Prophet testify to this pact.'
Seal: Allah's Prophet Muhammad
Note: A chieftain of Bahrain, named Akbar bin Qais went with a
delegation of his clan to the Holy Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam) and
stated that as their way was unsafe, they were not in a position to come to him
easily. They, therefore, requested that they be taught religious matters with
the help of which they could distinguish between right and wrong, so that they
could take them to their clan. The Holy Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam)
taught them about the Oneness of Allah, his prophethood, prayers, Zakat, fasts
etc. He also gave them the above pact.
