Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Salman al-Muhammadi Salman al-Muhammadi The Son of Islam It was before noon. Some Muslims sat in Prophet's Mosque waiting for Azan (call to prayer) to say noon prayer. Salman entered mosque and greeted his believing brothers. The Muslims wanted to know the Persian man's tribe. They mentioned their tribes loudly to let Salman hear them. One of them said: I belong to Tamim's tribe. Another said: I belong to the Quraish.

A third said: I belong to al-Aus tribe. And so on. But Salman was silent. They wanted to know his tribe. So they asked him: Salman, where are you from? To teach them the meaning of Islam, Salman answered: I'm the son on Islam! I was lost! So, Allah's guided me with Muhammad. I was poor! So, Allah's made me rich with Muhammad. I was a slave! So, Allah's released me with Muhammad. This is my tribe! The Muslims in mosque kept silent because Salman taught them a lesson of Islam. Who was Salman?

How did he believe in Islam? His name was Roozbah. It means “Happy”. He was born at a village in Isfahan. His father was the head of the village. He was a rich man. At that time, the Persian people worshipped fire because it was the symbol of light. So, fire was sacred to them. Thus, they had temples where fire was made to blaze forever. And there were holy men. They continued its burning day and night. When Roozbah grew up, his father wanted him to be of great importance.

So, he asked him to manage the temple and to go on burning the fire. Roozbah thought about fire. He refused it as a god, for man takes care of it so as not to put out. One day, the young man roamed through the distant green fields. In the distance, he saw a pretty building. He headed for it. The building was a church. The church was built by some monks to worship Allah. At that time, Christianity was Allah's real religion. The young man talked with the monks.

The love of Allah's religion entered his heart. He asked them: Where's the religion from? It's from Shaam. The Migration Roozbah decided to go to Shaam. He waited for a caravan The traders of the caravan accepted to take him to their homeland. The young man lived in a priest's house. He wanted to learn the principles of the religion, good behaviour, and the teachings of the Bible. After a time, the priest died. So, Roozbah immigrated to Mousal ( a city in the northern part of Iraq).

There he lived in a church. From Mousal, he moved to Naseebeen. Then he moved to Ammuriyah.
