LETTER TO JAIFER AND 'ABD, RULERS OF
OMAN
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
From Muhammad, Prophet of Allah--
To Jaifer and Abd.
Peace be on him who adopts the right course. There-after, I invite
both of you to Islam. Embrace Islam. Therein lies security! Allah has sent me
as a Prophet to his creatures, in order that I may instil fear of Allah in His
disobedient creatures and thus there may be left no excuse for those who deny
Allah.
My prophethood is about to reach your country. If you two accept
Islam, your country will, as usual, remain with you. But if you refuse or
object, it is a perishable thing.
Seal: Allah's Prophet Muhammad
Note: Jaifer and 'Abd accepted Islam after a slight hesitation and
said that the Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam), himself acted before
ordering others to act and before prohibiting others from a thing, himself
abstained from it. They further observed that if he attained victory, he was
not proud; and overpowered, he did not deflect from his objective. They further
said that the Prophet always fulfilled promises. They testified that he was the
Prophet of Allah.
