In 629 AC (6H) Prophet Muhammad (salla Allahu alihi was sallam) sent a letter to
Heraclius inviting him to Islam, and addressed him with the title, "The Greatest of
Romans." It is well documented in Islamic literature that Heraclius privately welcomed
the letter of the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi was sallam) and also bore witness that
Muhammad was indeed a prophet and that he said, "If I were to meet him, I will wash his
feet with water." This is the exactly the practice of the disciples of Jesus; it was an
outward sign of submission to their prophet.
630 AC (7H and 8H):
During these years, Heraclius fought against the pagan Persians and the Koranic
revelation was fulfilled. This victory was the flagship of Heraclius' reign. In order to defeat
the Persians Heraclius had worked diligently architecting a great, successful strategy
against the ruthless pagans. Heraclius had a deep conviction that good ethics and faith
in the heaven would bring about a successful conclusion to his undertakings. Early on in
his reign, Heraclius had eliminated corruption, then established peaceful, social
contracts among people, and later skillfully allied his Empire to the various nationalities
bordering Persia, amongst whom were Arabs. To finance the long-term war against the
Persians he had also issued bonds.
