Ambassador Posted June 8, 2013 Xaaji: I'd pay large sum for that. Where and how was it found? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haatu Posted June 11, 2013 Where's the proof Xaaji? The Prophet SAW died 1400 years ago and the region has seen many upheavals so I doubt this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tallaabo Posted June 11, 2013 We don't have the possessions of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) with us today but there is a letter with his fingerprints sent by him in St Catherine's Monastery in Mt Sinai and this is its message: "This is a message from Muhammad ibn Abdullah, as a covenant to those who adopt Christianity, near and far, we are with them. Verily I, the servants, the helpers, and my followers defend them, because Christians are my citizens; and by Allah! I hold out against anything that displeases them. No compulsion is to be on them. Neither are their judges to be removed from their jobs nor their monks from their monasteries. No one is to destroy a house of their religion, to damage it, or to carry anything from it to the Muslims' houses. Should anyone take any of these, he would spoil God's covenant and disobey His Prophet. Verily, they are my allies and have my secure charter against all that they hate. No one is to force them to travel or to oblige them to fight. The Muslims are to fight for them. If a female Christian is married to a Muslim, it is not to take place without her approval. She is not to be prevented from visiting her church to pray. Their churches are to be respected. They are neither to be prevented from repairing them nor the sacredness of their covenants. No one of the nation (Muslims) is to disobey the covenant till the Last Day (end of the world)."* *The English translated text of the Charter of Privileges was extracted from the Book 'Muslim History: 570 - 1950 C.E.' by Dr. A.
