Conclusiion It is unfortunate that the West instead of sincerely trying to understand the phenomenal success of Islam has considered it a rival religion. During the centuries of the crusades, all sorts of slanders were invented against Islam, this trend gained much force and impetus and a huge amount of literature was produced to tarnish the image of Islam and its preacher Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Truth needs no advocates to plead on its behalf. But the prolonged malicious propaganda against Islam has created great confusion even in the minds of some free and objective thinkers. What we have witnessed early in 2006, starting with the offensive Cartoons published in several European newspapers in the name of freedom and the violent reaction by some Muslims across the world makes it a duty on every Muslim to help introduce the true picture of the beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to the world around us, introduce it the way Islam and the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) taught us to. In the Holy Qur’an, Almighty God states: “Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching, and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knows best who have strayed from His Path and who receive guidance.” (16:125) We end it by saying an Urdu language couplet: Batlado Gustakh-E-Nabi Ku Ghairat-E-Muslim Zinda Hai Unper Mar Mitne Ka Jazba Kal Bhi Tha Aur Aaj Bhi Hai A LETTER TO KHUSROW,, THE KIING OF IIRAN In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate. From Muhammad, God’s Messenger, to Khusrow, the King of Persia. Greetings to the followers of the right path, to those obedient to God and His Prophet, to those who bear witness to God’s Oneness, who worship the One God, and who bear witness to the prophecy of God’s servant, Muhammad. Truly I call upon you to obey God’s command and convert to Islam. I am God’s Messenger to all the people so that living hearts will be awakened and illuminated and so that infidels will have no excuses. Submit to Islam so you will be safe and immune, and if you disobey me and turn down my invitation, you will be blamed for the sins of the magi. A LETTER TO HARQAL,, THE KIING OF ROME In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate. ...I call upon you to submit to Islam. If you become a Muslim, you will share the Muslims gains and their losses, and if you do not want to become a Muslim yourself, then let your people freely convert to Islam or pay the poll tax, paid in lieu of conversion to Islam, and do not restrict them in choosing their faith. The letters of the Holy Prophet of Islam were not exclusively written to Kings. Rather, he sent letters to various nations and to the followers of other faiths so all would be informed of the rising of the Sun of Islam
