    Jafer(RA), a companion of Prophet Muhammad at the court of a Christian King

    in Abyssinia :

    He called us to worship God

    alone... he commanded us to speak

    the truth, to honor our promises, to

    be kind to our relations, to be

    helpful to our neighbors, to cease

    all forbidden acts, to abstain frombloodshed, to avoid obscenities and

    false witness.

    Your majesty! We were ignorant

    people, worshipping idols, eatingcarrion, oppressing neighbors,

    brother fighting brother, the strong

    dominating the weak, when amidst

    us was raised a man (Muhammad)

    The Message: O People.

    Remember that you will indeed

    meet your Lord, and that He will

    indeed reckon your deeds.

    Beware of Satan for the safety of

    your religion. He has lost allhope that he will ever be able to

    lead you astray in big things, so

    beware of following him in small

    things.

    The best of the ways is one

    trodden by the Prophets

    The best of the actions is that

    which is beneficent.

    The best guidance is that whichis put into practice.

    The most valuable possession is

    the contentment of heart.

    The best provision is that ofpiety.

    Equality and Brotherhood

    An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab

    nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an

    Arab;

    A white has no superiority over a black, nor a

    black has any superiority over a white- except

    by piety and good action.

    O mankind! We created you from a single (pair)

    of a male and a female, and made you intonations and tribes, that you may know each other.

    Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is the

    most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge

    and is well acquainted (with all things)

    The Benefactor of women

    First to accord higher status to women, first to grant rights

    It was Islam that removed the bondage in which women are held from the very dawn of history

    and gave them a social standing and legal rights such as were not granted to them in

    England till many centuries later.

    Message for Men: O Brothers

    It is true that you have certain rights in regard to your women, but

    they also have rights over you.

    Remember that you have taken them as your wives, only under

    Allah's trust and with His permission. If they abide by your right then

    to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them, for they are your

    partners and committed helpers.

    And it is your right that they do not make friends with anyone of

    whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste.

    Revert to Islam Statements

    Its only in the past 20 years

    that women in this country were

    able to open a bank account

    without their husband signing

    the cheques. Islamic women

    have always had those rights. If

    I stick to what the Quran says,

    its clear to me that I will have

    total equality.- Jan, a British

    revert comments on Channel 4

    I started reading the

    Koran and it was an
