When Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) decided to send letters to kings and rulers beyond Arabia, inviting them to embrace Islam, he was informed that rulers of those regions would not accept any letter unless it was sealed with an official stamp. To meet this diplomatic requirement, the Prophet (PBUH) ordered the preparation of a silver seal ring.

The silver seal bore the inscription “Muhammad Rasul Allah” (محمد رسول الله) engraved in three lines:

• 
  

  First line: Allah (الله)

  
  


• 
  

  Second line: Rasul (رسول)

  
  


• 
  

  Third line: Muhammad (محمد)

  
  

This ring was used to stamp all official letters sent to kings and governors, including the rulers of Persia, Byzantium, Abyssinia, and Egypt. The seal played an important role in ensuring the authenticity of the Prophet’s messages and reflected the seriousness of his call to Islam on an international level.

This historical event shows the Prophet’s wisdom in adopting recognized diplomatic protocols of his time while spreading the message of Islam peacefully through letters and trusted messengers.
