Letters of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to the Leaders - Part 7

A Letter to Haudha bin ‘Ali, Governor of Yamama



"In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.


From Muhammad, Messenger of Allâh to Haudha bin ‘Ali.


Peace be upon him who follows true guidance. Be informed that my religion shall prevail everywhere. You should accept Islam, and whatever under your command shall remain yours."

The envoy chosen was Sulait bin ‘Amr Al-‘Amiri, who after communicating his message, carried back the following reply to the Prophet ,

"The Faith, to which you invite me, is very good. I am a famous orator and poet, the Arabs highly respect me and I am of account among them. If you include me in your government, I am prepared to follow you."

The governor then bestowed a reward on Sulait and presented him with clothes made of Hajr fabric. Of course, he put all those presents in the trust of the Prophet .

The Prophet did not accept Haudha’s demand. He usually turned down such peremptory tone, and would say that the whole matter was in the Hand of Allâh, Who gave His land to whoever He desired. Gabriel later came with the Revelation that Haudha had died. The Prophet , in the context of his comment on this news, said: "Yamama is bound to give rise to a liar who will arrogate Prophethood to himself but he will subsequently be killed." In reply to a question relating to the identity of the killer, the Prophet said "It is one of you, followers of Islam."[Za'd Al-Ma'ad 3/63]

InshaAllah in the next post, we are going to learn about the letter of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), to the King of Damascus.

Letters of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to the Leaders - Part 6

Assalam 'Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

A Letter to Mundhir bin Sawa, Governor of Bahrain




The Prophet , despatched ‘Al-‘Ala’ bin Al-Hadrami to the governor of Bahrain, carrying a letter inviting him to embrace Islam. In reply, Al-Mundhir bin Sawa wrote the following letter:

"Allâh’s Messenger ! I received your injunctions. Prior to this, I read your letter, which you wrote to the people of Bahrain extending to them an invitation to Islam. Islam appealed to some of them and they entered the fold of Islam, while others did not find it appealing. In my country, there live Magians and Jews, and therefore you may inform me of the treatment to be extended to them."


The Prophet wrote the following letter in reply to his:

"In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

From Muhammad, Messenger of Allâh to Mundhir bin Sawa.

Peace be on you! I praise Allâh with no associate, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

Thereafter, I remind you of Allâh, the Mighty, the Glorious. Whoever accepts admonition, does it for his own good. Whoever follows my messengers and acts in accordance with their guidance, he, in fact, accepts my advice.

My messengers have highly praised your behaviour. You shall continue in your present office. Give the new Muslims full chance to preach their religion. I accept your recommendation regarding the people of Bahrain, and I pardon the offences of the offenders; therefore, you may also forgive them.

Of the people of Bahrain whoever wants to go on in their Jewish or Magian faith, should be made to pay Jizya (poll-tax)." [Za'd Al-Ma'ad 3/61,62]

How to get reward of 5 Subuh in One day??

Assalam 'Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh



Shocked? Can that really happen? Owkeiy lets see if we can find a way to do it. :)

Prophet Muhammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever invites towards (the path of) guidance shall receive a reward equal to the rewards of those who follow him without this decreasing anything from their rewards." (Sahih Muslim)

So if you wake up for Subuh and wakes 4 more people (may be family members or friends), and if they do Subuh then inshaAllah you have successfully done it. Of-course you can increase the number to anymuch you wish inshaAllah. :)

Wassalam 'Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

The difference in the hearing of men and women. How did Islam accomodate this unique fact?? Wanna know??

Assalam 'Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh




As the heading says, we often hear that the men and women has differences in hearing capability. But how? And Why? To get the answers to your questions, patiently read ahead my brother/sister.

The first systematic evaluation of the hearing of girls and boys was performed by Professor John Corso of Penn State University in the late 1950's and early 1960's. Dr. Corso simply used a soundproof booth, headphones, and a tone generator. He consistently found that the girls hear better than boys do, especially in the range of frequencies above 2 kHz. See John Corso, Age and sex differences in thresholds, Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 31:498-507, 1959; also John Corso, Aging and auditory thresholds in men and women, Archives of Environmental Health, 6:350-356, 1963.

Likewise, Professor Jane Cassidy at Louisiana State University Professor Cassidy, in a study of 350 newborn baby girls and boys, found that the girls hearing was substantially more sensitive than the boys, especially in the 1000- to 4000-Hz range which is so important for speech discrimination. See Jane Cassidy and Karen Ditty. Gender differences among newborns on a transient otoacoustic emissions test for hearing. Journal of Music Therapy, 37:28-35, 2001.

A variety of more recent studies using more sophisticated technology have not only confirmed the superior hearing of girls at higher frequencies, but have also begun to demonstrate the anatomical basis for that superiority. The group led by Hiroaki Sato was the first to demonstrate consistent sex differences in the anatomy of the inner ear: girls are born with a cochlea which is shorter and stiffer than boys. The shorter, stiffer cochlea provides a more sensitive frequency response. See their paper, Sexual dimorphism and development of the human cochlea. Acta Otolaryngologica, 111:1037-1040, 1991.

A few years later, a French group led by Thierry Morlet demonstrated that the hair cells themselves are stiffer (and therefore more sensitive) in girls compared to the hair cells in boys. See their paper, Development of cochlear active mechanisms in humans differs between gender, Neuroscience Letters, 220:49-52, 1996. 

From the above information, we have known about some reasons why and how the hearing of men and women differs. Now let us move a bit further, towards that tree which you can see at distance over there. Yes thats correct! The tree of Islam. In other words, the tree which claimed that it has ALL the solutions to the problems of the traveler who stops under it.

How does Islam accommodate this reality between men and women???
