This is a letter from The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to the leader of the Coptic tribe (Christians).
It is housed in a special room of the Topkapi Palace in Istambul and is here translated into English.



"There is safety and security for those beleivers who follow the correct path.
Therefore, I invite you to accept Islam.
If you accept it you shall find security, save your throne,
and gain twice as much reward for having introduced Islam to your followers.
If you refuse this invitation, let the sin of calamity which awaits your followers be upon you.

You too are people of the Book.
Then let us come to a word common between us. That we worship none but Allah and shall not
equalize anything with him. Let us not abandon Allah and take others for lords other than him.

If you do not consent to this invitation, bear witness that we are Muslims."
