8 letters sent by Hazrat Mohammad to kings
Letters written to the kings of the world
There was opposition to the Arabs before the Peace of Hudaybiyah. Due to which the invitation to Islam could not take place, due to the peace of Hudaybiyah, it became possible for you to invite the kings of other countries to Islam. After returning from the Peace of Hudaybiyah, the Messenger of Allah intended to write a letter to the people in the month of Zul Hijjah 7 Hijri. He gathered all his companions and said to them,
"O people, I have become a mercy for all humanity. May Allah have mercy on you. You people should not disagree with the disciples, so if they were asked to close, they agreed if they were ordered to go somewhere far away, they sat down on the ground".
And then the companions advised him to make a stamp. Because the king could not read the letter without a stamp, he made a stamp which was made of silver and it was written Muhammad Rasoolullah. You wrote letters to the kings and invited them to tell the truth and told them that all the responsibility of the people is on you.
