Battle of Mutah, Preaching of Islam to various kings

The Battle of Mutah was fought in Jumadah Al-Ula, 8th year of Hijri, near the village of Mutah (currently located near the city of Karak in Jordan), between Muslims and the army of Byzantine Empire (Roman Empire).

Background of the Battle:

Islam was not to remain confined to Makkah and Madinah. Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.) sent letters and messengers to different rulers and head of tribes and invited them to Islam.

For this purpose, He (S.A.W.) sent Al-Harith bin Umair Al-Azdi (R.A.) to Busra (currently located in Hauran, Syria). Busra’s governor and people were Arabs but they were Christians and they were subject to the Byzantine Empire.

On his way, Al-Harith (R.A.) was intercepted by Shurahbil bin Amrul-Ghassani, the governor of Al-Balqa and representative of Byzantine Emperor. When Shurahbil heard that Al-Harith (R.A.) was the envoy of the Prophet (S.A.W.), he killed Al-Harith (R.A.) brutally. Killing envoys and messengers used to be regarded as the most awful crime at that time and amounted to the degree of war declaration.
