LETTER TO THE SUCCESSOR OF AS'HAMA THE
NEGUS
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
From Muhammad, Prophet of Allah -
To Negus, King of Ethiopia.
His Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam).
I bear witness that there is none to be worshipped except Allah.
No one is His associate or partner. He does not stand in need of a wife or
children. And I affirm that I am his servant and his Prophet.
I invite you to believe in Allah who is One. If you want security,
accept Islam.
O people of the Book! Ignore all matters of difference and dispute,
and agree to a thing to which you and we are equally committed, and it is that
we should not worship anyone except Allah. And neither should we associate
anyone else with Him nor should we regard anyone else as our Sustainer. If they
object to it, tell them, "you will bear witness that we believe in
Allah."'
If you will not accept these, the responsibility of the
transgression of your Christian people shall be yours.
Seal: Allah's Prophet Muhammad
The Negus did not accept Islam. He also did not send a reply to
the letter.
