An Open Invitation to the Pope and Other World Leaders

I begin in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. May Allah bless all
those who follow the correct path.
I hereby extend this invitation to the Pope and all the leaders of the world, especially
those who govern and rule over millions of people of other religions, sects and ideologies;
I invite all of you to embrace Islam. Come to Islam and you will be saved from the
punishment of Allah and earn His reward in Paradise. If you are a Jew or a Christian,
Allah will give you a double reward if you embrace Islam,[1] as Prophet Muhammad
states in one of his traditions. (Muslim, 342). However, if you reject this invitation, you
will be held accountable for all those under your influence and all those who follow you.
Like all my Muslim brothers and sisters the world over, Allah has charged me with the
responsibility of conveying this message to all humanity to the best of my ability. He
says, "Say, O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between
us and you – that we will not worship except Allah and not associate anything
with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allah.But if they turn
away, then say, 'Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to
Him].'" (Qur'an 3/64)

Having presented the previous proofs in this book so that whoever has eyes can see them
and whoever has intellect can understand them, a junction has been reached where Allah,
the Exalted, calls on all people to embrace the truth.Once again I affirm that it is my duty
and responsibility as a human being, one who submitted by free will to the law and
commands of Allah, the one and only God, the Beneficent, the Merciful, to invite all
mankind to give up the worship of false deities, whether animate and inanimate objects
or any other thing created by Allah or fashioned by man. After repenting, they must
submit themselves completely to the will of Allah, the only true God, the Creator of the
universe.
It is noteworthy that as much money, prestige, position, and power that a non-Muslim
might have in this life, he or she will never have enough to buy his or her entrance to the
gardens of Paradise in the next world.[2] The poorest inhabitant of the earth who has
testified that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His
Messenger (the testimony of faith) will be happier and more dignified in the next world
