Islam Spreads


Contd....

The story of Khuzoth was different. When the Message of Mohammed inviting him to Islam was read to Khuzoth he became very angry. He sent a letter to his Governor Bashan asking him to capture the new prophet and put him among his slaves. In his return, Bashan sent a message to Mohammed. In the meanwhile, Khuzroth’s son came to power in the place of Khuzoth. Mohammed got this information and he conveyed this information to the messengers of Bazan. He also asked him to take Mohammed’s messengers to Bazan inviting him to Isalm. The people of Yemen had knowledge of the defeat of Qureshians and they realized that it had weakened the power they exercised over them. They also came to know about the success of Mohammed over Qureshi and the crushing of the power of Jews by Mohammed. Bazan’s men conveyed the message of Mohammed to him. He thereupon embraced Islam and continued as the Governor of Yemen.

The response of Mutuoqis, the catholic Arch Bishop of Egypt was different from that of Khuzroth. He received the message of Mohammed and sent presentations to Mohammed which included two slave girls, some wealth and some precious article of Egypt. Mohammed married one of the girl by name Marithel Khivtiya and the son Ibrahim was born in that wedlock.
