The prisoner's reaction was furious: "Death is preferable to me a thousand times to what you ask me to do." A letter was sent from Muhammad to the emperor of the Byzantine Empire, Heraclius, through the Muslim envoy Dihyah bin Khalifah al-Kalbi, although Shahid suggests that Heraclius may never have received it. [4] He also advances that more positive sub-narratives surrounding the letter contain little credence. According to Nadia El Cheikh, Arab historians and chroniclers generally did not doubt the authenticity of Heraclius' letter due to the documentation of such letters in the majority of both early and later sources. [46] Furthermore, she notes that the formulation and the wordings of different sources are very close and the differences are ones of detail: They concern the date on which the letter was sent and its exact phrasing. [46] Muhammad Hamidullah, an Islamic research scholar, argues for the authenticity of the letter sent to Heraclius, and in a later work reproduces what is claimed to be the original letter.

[ Quran 3:64] I bear witness that there is nothing worth of my worship except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Slave and final Messenger.

Many years ago, across distant lands and faraway empires, a series of letters were sent to some of the most powerful men on earth. These were no ordinary letters, however- they were from none other than the Last Prophet of God and the message they contained was one for all time. Hamidullah, Muhammad (1985).

I have wanted to write to you since your message reached me over ten years ago, but I did not know that this was even possible. There are so many things I wanted to tell you.In rejection of his message, and fearing that there would be reprisals from Mecca for having hosted Muhammad, the groups involved in meeting with Muhammad began to incite townsfolk to pelt him with stones. [6] Having been beset and pursued out of Ta'if, the wounded Muhammad sought refuge in a nearby orchard. [17] Resting under a grape vine, it is here that he invoked God, seeking comfort and protection. [18] [19]

The Prophet (pbuh) decided to invite the wider world to a better way of living. Mary, my adored Mary, how can you think you bring me more sorrow than joy? No one knows for sure where the boundary between pain and pleasure lies: many times, I think it is impossible to separate them.
