Invited to India to
Invite to Islam

The first translation of the Quran was made by order of a Hindu Raja. In 892 A.D. the Raja of Sind, Mahroug, wrote to the Muslim Amir of Mansura, Abdullah Ibn Umer, asking him to send someone who could inform his people of the teachings of Islam. An Iraqi youth, who had been brought up in India and was acquainted with local languages, was in Mansura at that time. The Amir of Mansura sent him to the Raja. He stayed there for three years and, at the Raja’s request, translated the Quran into Hindi. He used to read his translation out in the Raja’s presence every day. □
