"Patent of Muhammad" (pbuh) and the other Letters

[SalamChristian]

Salaam,

I have just been discovering over the past couple weeks the existence of the diplomatic letters of Muhammad (pbuh). I was not aware of these documents before now. Some things I am wondering:

How authentic do Muslims believe these documents are? 100%?

Specifically, I was interested in the "Patent of Muhammad" (pbuh). Here is a link to a website run by Muslims which houses a translation:

http://www.cyberistan.org/islamic/charter1.html

Do Muslims view this as authentic, in addition to the other letters?

Thank you very much for helping me out.

Salam aleacom brother Bob


I have not come across that website before. But I have read about these other links, which I know to be authentic. I believe them to be true. Beloved Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) was merciful, just and tolerant of others. Unlike what he has been portrayed in the media. I wish people read about him and his life.


I have put the following links, they are very useful. I hope you read them. They contain a booklet and articles about what you mentioned.

Letter to King Nijaji(Negus) of Abyssinia.

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

From Muhammad (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam) Prophet of Allah to Negus King of Ethiopia.

I praise Allah, except Whom there is none to be worshipped, who is the Ruler of the world. He is innocent and pure free from all blemishes, defects, flaws, or shortcomings). He gives refuge and sustains all.

I do admit that Isa (Jesus) (A.S.) son of Mariam (Mary), was the soul from Allah and His word (Order), he was infused to Mariam, who was clean and proof against evil. And Isa(A.S.) was born of Mariam. Allah created him from His soul and breath in the same manner as He created Adam(A.S.) with His own hand. I invite you towards Allah the One who has no associate. Believe in Him and join me in obedience to Him. Follow me and accept my prophethood because I am the Messenger of Allah. I have wished - you well in conveying the message of Allah in all sincerity. It is up you to accept my sympathetic advice. Extend the same invitation to your subjects. I am sending my cousin Jaffer (Raziallah AnhoA.) with the other Muslims. When they reach you, treat them hospitably, by setting aside the vanity and pride of a ruler.

Peace be on him, who followed the right path.

Can you tell us about the authenticity of the letters? Because I heard some of them are fakes
are they originals or copies?
