Peace be upon him who follows the right path.

I am writing this invitation to call you to Islam. If you become a Muslim you will be safe – and God will double your reward, but if you reject this invitation of Islam you will bear the sin of having misguided your subjects. Thus do I urge you to heed the following:

“O’ People of the Scriptures! Come to a word common to you and us that we worship none but Allah (SWT) and that we associate nothing in worship with God, and that none of us shall take others as Lords beside Allah (SWT). Then if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims.”
