Al Tabari narrated that Rabi` ibn `Amir entered the court of Rustum, the Persian leader, who asked him:
“What brought you here?”
Rabi` said: “God sent us, and He brought us here in order to lead whom He wills from the worship of man to the worship of God alone; from the narrowness and oppression of this world to the space and abundance of the hereafter; and from the injustice of other religions to the justice of Islam. ”
What Rabi` ibn `Amir, the representative of the Muslims, said to the Persians was not only the expression of his personal feelings. Rather, it voiced the thought which was predominant among the Muslim leadership and most of the Muslims. That's the main message of Islam. It's a message that no sane person can disagree with, unless he/she prefers to live all his life as a slave for the dogmatic atheism or creation worship.
