The Iman (AHS) sent letters to the kings, ministers, aristocrats, nobleman, judges & jurists, inviting them to inquire into his claim to be Mahdi (AHS), and either to accept him as such or kill him if found an imposter. The following is a summary of such letters:
"O mankind": Understand this well that I am Muhammad (PBUH), son of Abdullah, and the namesake of Muhammad (PBUH), the Messenger of Allah (PBUH). Allah has made me the Seal of Vilayat-e-Muhammadi (PBUH) (Muhammadan SAS Sainthood) and the Caliph of the Prophet's august followers (ummah). I am be who had been promised to be sent during the Last Era. I am be about whom the Prophet (PBUH) had given advance information. l am he who has been mentioned in the sacred books of the earlier Prophets (AHS). I am he who had been described by groups of the Firsts and the Lasts. I am he who has been bestowed with the Caliphate of Allah. I am he who invites the people (created by Allah) to (come to) Allah at the bidding of His Prophet (PBUH).
"And further, l am not, at the time of making the claim, intoxicated. I am in my senses. I am not in need of being brought to my senses. I have been provided with pure and clean food from Allah. I am in need of none other than Allah, The Eternal. I do not desire a throne or crown. I do not intend to become a ruler. I am not hankering after a dominion or authority. I consider them as absurd and filthy. I ant your liberator from worldliness".
"The reason for this
invitation is that I have been enjoined upon (on pain of Allah's displeasure) to
invite you. Obedience to me is enjoined upon you by Allah. I convey my
invitation to jinn and mankind, in the sense that I am the Seal of the
Vilayat-e-Muhammadi (PBUH) and Caliph of Allah (AHS). Obedience to me is
obedience to Allah and disobedience to me is disobedience to Allah. Accept my
creed, so that you are liberated, and obey me.
"if you refute me, Allah will seize you. Save yourself from the punishment of the day (Doomsday) when mountains will be blown to smithereens".
"Do not go from this world when you face (spiritual) ruin (in the Hereafter). Choose the reward of the Hereafter. Do not sell it for counterfeit coins. I am telling you all this because you are intelligent. If you consider that I am concocting and maligning Allah, you are bound to inquire into my work (as the Caliph of Allah (AHS)). Start the work fast".
"If you are inattentive to my work, it would mean that you are trying to refute me. You are capable of finding out the truth. If you allow me to continue to make (what you consider to be) false claim, you will be liable to divine punishment. On oath in the name of Allah, I say that Allah is enough as a witness to my claim that I am sent to prevent the annihilation of Muhammad's (PBUH) Ummah and cleanse it of its deviations. Never get deceived. Compare my words, deeds and facts with Quran, and only with Quran. And think over them. If they are in accordance with Quran, obey me. Otherwise, kill me. This is the best course for your salvation. Therefore, fear Allah and turn to Him with a humble heart He is merciful to his servants. This advice is for those who listen with understanding".
The Imam's (AHS) letters were read by the kings to whom they were addressed. They thought over it. And those, who were eternally guided by Allah, accepted the claim of Imam Syed Muhammad of Jaunpur as the Promised Mahdi (AHS).
