Surat-surat Muhammad untuk kepala negara

Dari Wikipedia bahasa Indonesia, ensiklopedia bebas


Menurut al-Tabari dalam Sejarah Para Nabi dan Raja, setelah Perjanjian Hudaibiyah, Nabi Muhammad memutuskan untuk mengirim surat kepada sejumlah kepala negara yang mengajak mereka memeluk Islam. [1][2][3] Beberapa pakar non-Muslim meragukan tradisi ini.[4]

Berdasarkan historiografi Islam, Nabi Muhammad mengirim utusan kepada Heraklius, Kaisar Bizantium; Chosroes II, Khosrau Persia; Negus dari Ethiopia; Muqawqis, penguasa Mesir; Harith Gassani, gubernur Suriah; Munzir bin Sawa al-Tamimi; dan penguasa Bahrain.[5]
