INVITATION TO THE NEIGHBOURING STATES<br />

The peace given by <strong>the</strong> treaty of Hudaibiya allowed <strong>the</strong> <strong>Prophet</strong> to send <strong>the</strong> message of<br />

Islam to <strong>the</strong> countries near Arabia. letters were sent to Heraculis (Byzantine Emperor),<br />

Kisra Parviz (king of Persia), King of Egypt and Abyssinia, <strong>the</strong> chief of Yemen and <strong>the</strong> chief<br />

of Syria.<br />

Heraculis received <strong>the</strong> message with honour also sending gifts to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Prophet</strong>. <strong>the</strong> king of<br />

Persia however was enraged and tore <strong>the</strong> letter to pieces. The Syrian chief put <strong>the</strong> Muslim<br />

messenger to death and this became <strong>the</strong> cause of <strong>the</strong> conflict with <strong>the</strong> Christians resulting<br />

in <strong>the</strong> Battles of Moota and Tabuk. The king of Abyssinia accepted Islam and also made<br />

arrangements for <strong>the</strong> return of Jaffar Tayyar and o<strong>the</strong>r Muslims to Madina.<br />
