Practice these MCQs in the appQuick fact: Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sent letters to various kings inviting them to Islam in the year 6 AH, following the Treaty of Hudaibia.
After the Treaty of Hudaibia in 6 AH, the Quraysh no longer posed an immediate military threat, giving the Prophet (PBUH) the opportunity to expand the scope of his mission. He dispatched envoys carrying letters to major rulers of the time, including Heraclius of Byzantium, Khosrow of Persia, the Negus of Abyssinia, and Muqawqis of Egypt. This marked the beginning of Islam's formal outreach beyond Arabia and demonstrated the universal nature of the Prophet's message.
The letters were sent in late 6 AH after returning from Hudaibia. Each letter bore the seal of the Prophet (PBUH) engraved with "Muhammad, Messenger of Allah." The responses varied: the Negus and Muqawqis responded positively, Heraclius showed interest but did not embrace Islam, while Khosrow tore the letter in arrogance. This diplomatic initiative was a turning point in presenting Islam on the world stage.
