LETTER TO FARWAH, GOVERNOR OF M'AAN - LETTERS OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD




LETTER TO FARWAH, GOVERNOR OF M'AAN

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

From Muhammad, Prophet of Allah--

To Farwah bin 'Amar

Your messenger came to me and delivered the presents you sent me, gave me an account of yourself and conveyed to me the good news of your acceptance of Islam.

Allah as honoured you with His guidance. If you continue to remain obedient to Allah and His Prophet and remain faithful to them, keep saying prayers and paying Zakat, it is the greatest blessing of Allah; and take it that Allah has blessed you with His guidance.

Seal: Allah's Prophet Muhammad


Note: Farwah had been appointed as Governor of M'aan by the Byzantine government. M'aan which now forms part of Jordan, is situated towards the Northwest of Arabia. When Caesar came to know of the acceptance of Islam by Farwah, he reprimanded him and ordered him to give up his new faith, otherwise he threatened to remove him from his office. But Farwah boldly refused. Thereon Caesar imprisoned him, but seeing that even the hardships of the prison could not deflect him resolution, he ordered that Farwah should be put to death. His last words were "Convey the message to the Holy Prophet(peace be on him), that even my bones remained subservient to Allah"
