MCQ Detailed View

When Prophet Muhammad ﷺ sent letters to various rulers inviting them to Islam, the King of Iran (Kisra/Chosroes II) received one of them. Instead of treating it with respect, he tore up the letter in arrogance and disbelief.

After this act, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "May Allah tear his kingdom apart." Later, Kisra's empire, the Sassanid Empire, was eventually overthrown by the Muslims during the Caliphate of Hazrat Umar (RA).
