To the kings beyond Arabia Late in the six year A.H., on his return from Hudaibiyah, the Prophet Muhammad , decided to send messages to the kings beyond Arabia calling them to Islam. In order to authenticate the credentials of his envoys, a silver seal was made in which were graven the words: "Muhammad the Messenger of Allâh" [Sahih Al-Bukhari 2/872,873
(Islamicity) Muslims and Christians together constitute over fifty percent of the world and if they lived in peace, we will be half way to world peace. One small step that we can take towards fostering Muslim-Christian harmony is to tell and retell positive stories and abstain from mutual demonization. In this article I propose to remind both Muslims and Christians about a promise that Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) made to Christians. The knowledge of this promise can have enormous impact on Muslim conduct towards Christians. Muslims generally respect the precedent of their Prophet and try to practice it in their lives. ..

The Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences has established a policy banning people from covering their faces on its three campuses, in an effort to ensure public safety, a college spokesman said today.
But the new policy has drawn flak from a Muslim civil rights advocacy group, which wants the school to exempt Muslim women who wear veils over their faces.
"It's a very strange policy. I don't know where it came from. The only thing we can conclude is that it's designed to specifically target Muslims," said Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Michael Ratty, a spokesman for the college, which has campuses in Boston, Worcester, and Manchester, N.H. said the new policy was designed as part of a "periodic assessment of public safety policies" at the college.
"It's no surprise that college safety has become a huge issue of importance in the past couple of years. This is another measure that public safety [officials at the college] wanted to implement to keep the campus safer," Ratty said of the policy, which went into effect on Jan. 1.
The ban would cover anything that covers the entire face. In addition to veils, that could include ski masks and scarfs drawn over the face, he said.
He said college public safety officials wanted to be able to identify people who were in college buildings. He also said the development of the policy had no connection to the arrest of a 2008 graduate of the school, Tarek Mehanna, last year on charges of plotting terrorist attacks.
"Unequivocally, it has nothing to do with that case," he said.
