Letters From a Prophet

Many years ago, across distantlands and faraway empires, a series of letters were sent to some of the mostpowerful men on earth. These were no ordinary letters, however- they were fromnone other than the Last Prophet of God and the message they contained was onefor all time. It was the year 7AH (628AD), andthe dawn of a new era for the early Muslims as they welcomed the promise ofpeace on the horizon. The time was now right. The Prophet (pbuh) decided toinvite the wider world to a better way of living. Messengers were chosen to visitthe opulent palaces of the Roman Empire, travel by boat up the Nile toAlexandria, cross vast planes to a Kingdom in Abyssinia and approach theextravagant fortresses of mighty Persia. The task at hand was monumentalfor those selected to deliver the message.-Reactions to the lettersvaried in extremes, but all carry equally valuable lessons. Within thepreparation, delivery and reactions to these letters, we learn aboutfaith, power, and the human condition. You
