LETTERS TO THE POPE OF ROME
In the name Of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
Peace be on him, who believes in Allah. I am of the faith that Isa
(Jesus A.S.) son of Mariam (Mary) was the spirit of Allah and His word!
Allah infused him in the pious Mariam.
I believe in Allah, all His Books and His Commands which he sent to Me
and which He sent to Ibrahim, Ismail, Ishaq and Yaqub (A.S.) and their
descendants. I also believe in what was given to Musa and Isa (A.S.) and
other prophets by Allah! In faith and belief, we do not differentiate in
accepting any of the prophets. We are Muslims (meaning obedient to
Allah) Peace be on him who follows the guidance.'
Seal: Allah's Prophet Muhammad
Note: Along with the letter to Caesar, the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) had
also sent a letter to the Pope. The latter testified to his Prophethood
and observed, "No doubt, he is a true Prophet". Thereafter he addressed
a congregation in the cathedral and informed the people that he had
received a letter from the Arabian Prophet Ahmad (S.A.W.) who had
invited them to accept the true faith of Allah, the One. He then
testified that there is no god save Allah and that Ahmad (S.A.W.) was
the servant and prophet of Allah. The people were highly infuriated to
hear this truthful declaration and they beat him so much that he died.
