Beggars All: Reformation And Apologetics: Submit or Die! Early Islamic Da'wa

This is an interesting  article. This post has a clip from Iran in Farsi. She is talking about the
Letter of Omar, the second Khalif of Sunni Islam, to Yazdegird III, the Shah (King of Persia)
The post translates what the woman in the clip says:

It is interesting how in history that the name of Allah is again proclaimed and spread. This historical document of the letter of Omar, the second Khalif of the Muslims, to Yazdegird III, the Sassanian King of Persia, and then the letter of Yazdegird back to Omar, after the battle of Qadesiyeh and before the battle of Nahavand, that took place over a period of about four months.

The video gives the letters. This post not only translates the video so you can understand what she is saying but we get historical insight into how Islam spread into Iran. We also gain an understanding of why Omar, the second Khalif of Sunni Islam, is so disliked in Iran. This is a great post!

  2. Just to clarify - the clip is not actually from Iran - the Iranian government does not allow women to dress like that - Islamic law dictates the hair must be covered, and no low cut tops and it has to be loose and not tight.

    But she is Iranian and probably broadcasting from the USA or Canada.
    Many Iranians have fled Iran since the 1979 Revolution because of the oppression of the government and the 8 year war with Iraq (1980-1988).
