All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of all Being, the All-merciful, the All-compassionate, the Master
of the Day of Judgment.1 May Allah’s mercy and peace be upon all of His Messengers and truthful
and pure Prophets; and may His mercy and peace be upon the master of the children of Adam and the
seal of the Prophets, our Prophet Muhammad, the trustworthy Messenger; and may His mercy and
peace be upon Muhammad’s family, companions and whoever follows his guidance till the Day of
Judgment.

For Whom Am I Writing this Essay?
My brothers and sisters everywhere! With this essay, I am not singling out the adherents of
Islam—to which I ascribe—but rather I am writing this essay to every man and woman
throughout the whole world.
I ask Allah that He facilitates that this essay reaches every ear, falls under the sight of every
eye, and is understood by every heart.
By Allah, I have written this essay sincerely. I do not seek from anyone reward or praise. I
only seek to convey to all my brethren in humanity, irrespective of their races or religions,
an aspect of the great message that Muhammad the son of ‘Abdullah, Allah’s final
messenger to all the peoples of the earth, was sent with.
Specifically, I have chosen to explain the wisdom behind those laws that Allah has legislated
regarding women. As contingent upon these laws, an individual’s bliss on earth is gained
and his humanity is achieved. Moreover, these Islamic regulations pertaining to women

have been singled out for attack by the enemies of humanity, who seek to follow their
desires and who are short-sighted. Rather, they have put an end to a person’s bliss on earth
and exchanged that with misery and a wretched life. They have attacked these Divine
regulations, so that they may turn humanity away from Allah’s true religion, His straight
path, and bliss in this world and the next—toward which the final Messenger of all Divine
messages came to give glad tidings and to invite all humanity to receive.

Muhammad the son of ‘Abdullah is Allah’s Prophet and the Final Messenger Sent by Allah to the
Inhabitants of Earth

My brothers and sisters everywhere! You should know that the Messenger, Muhammad the son
of ‘Abdullah (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) is Allah’s Messenger in reality
and truth. The evidences that show his veracity are abundant. None but an infidel, who out
of arrogance alone, could deny these signs.

Among these proofs:
1. Muhammad (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) was raised illiterate, unable to
read or write, and remained like that till his death. Among all his people, he was known as
being truthful and trustworthy. Before receiving revelation, he had no prior knowledge of
Religion or any previously sent Message. He remained like that for his first forty years.
Revelation then came to Muhammad with the Koran that we now have between our hands.
This Koran mentioned most of the accounts found in the previous scriptures, telling us
about these events in the greatest detail as if he witnessed them. These accounts came
precisely as they were found in the Torah sent down to Moses and in the Gospel sent down
to Jesus. Neither the Jews or Christians were able to belie him regarding anything that he
said.
2. Muhammad (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) also foretold of everything that
would occur to him and his community after him, pertaining to victory, the removal of the
tyrannical kingdoms of Chosroes2 and Caesar, and the establishment of the religion of Islam
throughout the earth. These events occurred exactly as Muhammad foretold, as if he was
reading the future from an open book.
3. Muhammad (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) also brought an Arabic Koran
that is the peak of eloquence and clarity. The Koran challenged those eloquent and fluent
Arabs of his time, who initially belied him, to bring forth a single chapter like the Koran. The
eloquent Arabs of his day were unable to contest this Koran.
Indeed, till our day, none has ever dared to claim that he has been able to compose words
that equal—or even approach—the order, grace, beauty, and splendor of this Glorious
Koran.

4. The life history of this Noble Prophet was a perfect example of being upright, merciful,
compassionate, truthful, brave, generous, distant from all evil character, and ascetic in all
worldly matters, while striving solely for the reward of the Hereafter. Moreover, in all his
actions and dealings, he was ever mindful and fearful of Allah.
5. Allah instilled great love for Muhammad (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) in
the hearts of all who believed in and met him. This love reached such a degree that any of
his companions would willingly sacrifice his (or her) self, mother or father for him.
Till today, those who believe in Muhammad honor and love him. Anyone of those who
believe in him would ransom his own family and wealth to see him, even if but once.
6. All of history has not preserved the biography of any person in the manner it has preserved
the life of Muhammad, who is the most influential human in history.
Nor has the entire earth known of anyone whom every morning and evening, and many
times thereafter throughout the day, is thought of by those who believe in him. Upon
remembering Muhammad, the believers in him will greet him and ask Allah to bless him.
They do such with full hearts and true love for him.
