Letter From Sheikh Of Borno To Sultan Mohammed Bello
Dated 23rd of Rabee-ul-thani, 1238;
(Corresponding to January, 1824)
Praise be to God, and prayers and peace be unto
the Apostle of God (Mohammed).
To the honoured and accomplished, the virtuous
and munificent, the pattern of goodness and the
standard of benevolence, head of the Soodanic
kingdom, and ruler of the country of Hausa, our
friend, the learned Mohammed Bello, son of the
intelligent sheikh Osman, whose soul may God
shelter with the clouds of mercy and peace.
Our salutation, accompanied with affection as
strong as the odour of musk, and as perpetual as
the movement of the globe, and with the mercy
and blessings of God, be unto you.
Hence, the cause of writing this letter and the
purpose of its lines, is to acquaint you that the
bearers are English travelers; whose nation, out
of all the other Christians, has maintained with
the Mooslemeen uninterrupted treaties of
religious amity and friendship, established since
ancient periods, which they inherited from their
forefathers and ancestors; and on this account,
they penetrate into Mooslemeen countries
whenever they please, and traverse all provinces
and lands in confidence and trust, without fear.
They came to our country, sent to us by our
virtuous and accomplished friend, the Lord
Yousuf Pasha, master of Tripoli, to see and
delight themselves with the wonders of the Land
of Soodan, and to become acquainted with its
rarities, as lakes, rivers, and forests (or
gardens) ; equal to which are seldom seen in
other countries.
After having accomplished their wishes, in
seeing all the things that the land of Barnooh
(Borno) and its environs contained, they felt
anxious to visit your country from what they
heard of the innumerable wonders therein. I
have, therefore, permitted them to proceed on
their journey, accompanying them with letters
which explain their object.
You are well aware of what is stated in
Alcoraanic sayings upon the subject of the
obervance of honour, dictated by our Lord, the
Apostle of God; and that the true Mooslemeen
have always avoided shedding the blood of
Christians, and assisted and protected them with
their honour. Be then attentive to these
travelers, and cast them not into the corners of
neglect; let no one hurt them, either by words
or deeds, nor interrupt them with any injurious
behavior: but let them return to us, safe, and
may the high God bestow upon you the best
reward for your treatment to them, and insure
to us and to you the path of righteousness for
conduct in this life.
Our salutation may be given to all who are about
you, and to those who are related to you in
general. And peace be unto you.

MOHAMMED EL-AMEEN EL-KANEMY
(Originally in Arabic)

That is the el-kanemi indeed, upholdin the islamic culture of peace......wish the present traditional leaders will encourage peace in this country regardless of religion.

this is coming from a mind that is guided by what is enshrined in the quran,and aligning themselves with the teachings of the holy prophet. this are gestures worthy of emulation.
