Praise be to Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon the Messenger of Allah. To proceed:

Any Muslim having the least knowledge of the Islamic history will not doubt the merit of Arabs and Muslims and what they had achieved of carrying the banner of Islam in the last blessed centuries, delivering the message of Islam to all people, having truthfulness in inviting people to it, striving hard to spread and defend it and enduring all burdensome difficulties and hardships in that way. They succeeded in doing that until Allah made the religion prevalent at their hands and its banner flutters in most parts of the world which lived at the beginning of Islam with the perfect system and the most just ruler at the hands of those who were calling people to Islam. They found in the religion of Islam what they wanted and needed of the goodness of this life and the Hereafter and found in the religion of Islam the organization of a happy life guaranteeing them dignity, honor and freedom from the worship of creatures and the injustice of the autocratic rulers and the iniquitous governors.

Moreover, they found in the religion of Islam the organization of their relation with Allah (may he be Glorified) by the means of a great worship which helps them become in contact with Allah, purifies their hearts from Shirk (associating others with Allah in His Divinity or worship), grudges and arrogance, implants in them the utmost love of Allah, the perfect humility to Him and enjoying calling upon Him, acquaints them with their Lord and themselves and reminds them of Allah and the importance of His rights whenever they become heedless of them or about to be heedless of them. They also found in the religion of Islam the organization of their relationship with the Messenger (peace be upon him) and what they should perform of his rights and following his path. Furthermore, they found in Islam the organization of the relationship between the ruler and the ruled, between a man and his wife, between a man and his relatives, between a man and his Muslim brothers and between Muslims and disbelievers with clear words and unambiguous styles. They also found with the Messenger (peace be upon him), with the Companions and those who had followed them in piety and righteousness the manifestation of all this through their good manners and righteous acts. Therefore, people loved Islam, magnified it, embraced it in crowds and found therein all kinds of goodness, tranquility, piety and reform.

Undoubtedly, there are more details about the advantages of Islam and what it has of great rulings and good manners which reform the hearts, bring love among them and unite them with a strong bond of love for the sake of Allah (Glorified be He), striving hard to support His religion, holding fast to its teachings and advising each other with truth and patience regarding it. The main purpose behind this speech is to attract people's attention to what had been achieved at the hands of Muslims from Arabs at the beginning of Islam of striving and patience, what Allah had honored them with including carrying the banner of Islam to most parts of the world and what happened to the entire world of hope to revert to Islam and hastening to embrace it due to what it had of the just rulings and tolerant teachings and the manifestation of the reality about Allah, His Names and Attributes and the great rights He has upon His slaves and due to what its bearers and callers had of the implementation of the rulings of Islam in their sayings, actions and manners until they became the best Nation ever raised to people and they achieved the meaning of the Almighty's saying:

The meaning of this verse as stated by Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) is that you are the best people to people. Any Muslim acquainted with what Muslims had at the beginning of Islam of the things which we have already mentioned will not harbor any doubt about these descriptions and qualities, since these things are from the recognized facts for Muslims. On the other hand, no Muslim will have any doubt about what Muslims from non­Arabs had of merit and praiseworthy striving in their help of their brothers from Arab Muslims in spreading the religion and striving hard in raising high its word and delivering it to the world's population. May Allah praise the great efforts of all and may He make us from their followers in piety and righteousness, indeed, He is Able to do all things. What should be denied nowadays and is shocking and happening by many Muslims and Arabs is their keeping away from inviting others to this great religion, with which Allah raised them high, honored them with carrying its message and made them the rulers of this worldly life and the masters of the entire world when they carried its banner,

strove hard in its cause with sincerity and truthfulness until they spread the religion everywhere, broke Khosrau, destroyed Caesar, controlled the treasures of their two kingdoms and spent all of it in the Cause of Allah [Exalted and Sublime Be He]. It is noteworthy that they achieved all these gains at a time when they
