LETTER TO KHUSRO PERWEZ, EMPEROR OF FARS



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



From Muhammad, Prophet of Allah to Kisra, King of Fars



May peace be on him who follows the guidance, believes in Allah and his Prophet. I testify that there:is none worthy of worship except Allah, who is alone and without an associate and Muhammad is His Servant and Prophet. Allah has made me a Prophet and sent me for the entire world, in order that I may infuse the fear of Allah in every living person. Accept Islam and be secure. If you refuse, the sins of all the Zoroastrians shall be your responsibility.



Seal: Allah's Prophet Muhammad



Note: The shock which his false pride received and his rage at being thus addressed have been mentioned in some detail elsewhere.
