In Defence of the Prophet Muhammed
(may Allah raise his rank and grant him peace)
By
Shaykh Rabee' ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee
(may Allah preserve him)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy
All praises are due to Allah, and may Allah exalt the status of the
Messenger of Allah and that of his family and his companions, and may He
grant them peace.
As for what follows:
Some newspapers and other forms of media have spread hurtful, vicious information
that could only emanate from the jealous, arrogant enemies of Islam and its
Prophet (may Allah raise his rank and grant him peace).
That conduct comprises a calumniation of Muhammed, the Messenger of Allah and
a distortion of his message by jealous individuals and Christian
organizations, as well as envious and irresponsible columnists, like those
who write for the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten.
Its writers mocked the best of Mankind and the most distinguished of the
Messengers, Muhammed (may Allah raise his rank and grant him peace), the
likes of whose nobility, honour, justice, and manners the earth has never
known of. Neither has it known of a more complete and
comprehensive message than his, nor a more just and merciful one.
It is a message that embraces belief in all of the prophets and messengers,
honoring them and defending them from calumniation and
defamation. It has also preserved an accurate history of the
prophets, including Jesus and Moses. So whoever disbelieves in
Muhammed and speaks of him in a derogatory manner has disbelieved in all of
the prophets and disparaged of all of them.
Recently, some uncivilized miscreants made fun of the Prophet, drawing
various pictures of him. Twelve despicable pictures, one of them
portrayed him (may Allah raise his rank and grant him peace) wearing a turban
resembling a bomb on his head.
We say to these criminals and their envious supporters in Europe and America:
You are accusing others of your very own crimes! (*)
Let it be known that never did Muhammed (may Allah raise his rank and grant
him peace), nor his righteous successors or any of his honorable companions,
ever establish factories for even the most primitive of weapons, like swords
and spears, let alone atomic bombs, long-range missiles, or any other weapon
of mass destruction.
Never did Muhammed (may Allah raise his rank and grant him peace) build a
single weapon factory. Rather, he was sent as a mercy for the
entire creation, to guide all Mankind towards happiness in their worldly
lives and in their hereafter, such that they fulfill their Creator's right
upon them, for it is He who created them to worship Him
alone. Whoever rejects this is truly a criminal deserving
punishment in this life and the next, by the Lord of all that exists, the
Creator of this universe and its Master.
As for you O Westerners, claimants of civilization, you have constitutions
and statutes that destroy upright moral character and permit all kinds of
forbidden acts, the likes of fornication and homosexuality, as well as usury
which destroys the economies of entire nations, and the eating of improperly
slaughtered animals (dead meats) and pork, something that causes the loss of
concern for women's values, and thus a man does not feel protective of his
wife, sister, or daughter, and thus she fornicates with or intimately
befriends whomever she pleases. These are some of the means which
lead to ruin, and they have been prohibited in all of the prophetic messages.
As for bombs and all other weapons of destruction, war planes, tanks, and
long-range missiles, you are the ones who engineered and manufactured them
with your satanic minds that only think about transgression, animosity,
oppression, attacking, tyranny, conquering entire races of people and enslaving
them, spilling their blood, and usurping their natural
resources. You think only about annihilating those who oppose you
and stand in the way of your greedy aspirations, your oppression and
spreading of hatred. All this wrapped up in the name of civilization, human
rights, freedom, and justice!
All intelligent people know this about you. For your dark history
is overflowing with uncivil and terrorist acts, a history recorded against
you by both your enemies and allies alike.
Anyone who does not know this should read about your history and your
occupation of numerous nations, or at least read the history and some
horrible results of your two World Wars. For example, the number
of fatalities in the First World War in Europe reached "More than 10
million, and they were the elite of their nations' youth. And more
than twice this number had incurred serious injuries disabling them for the
rest of their lives." [Refer to: At-Taareekh al-Mu'aasir:
Uruubbaa minath-Thawratil-Fransiyyah ilal-Harbil-'Aalamiyyaith-Thaaniyah,
p.505. (Lit: Recent History, Europe from the French Revolution to the Second
World War)]
The number of soldiers killed in the Second World War reached: "17
million, along with another 18 million civilian fatalities - all of them killed
within a period of only five and a half years. Experts have
estimated that the military expenses alone reached $1,100 billion, and that
losses caused by the war reached the value of $2,100
billion. Added to this are the number of entire cities destroyed,
the amount of earth scorched, the agriculture that was flooded, and the
factories and plantations that stopped production, not to mention the number
of livestock that were destroyed or lost." [(Al-Harb
al-'Aalamiyyah ath-Thaaniyah by Ramadhaan Land, p.448-449) (Lit: The
Second World War)]
The Hiroshima Bomb
Stated the author of the book, "al-Harb al-'Aalamiyyah
ath-Thaaniyah" (p.446-447) (Lit: The Second World War), "And
perhaps it is appropriate to speak about this first atomic
bomb. Let us relay what was reported directly from one of the
Japanese in his interview with Marcel Junod, a representative of the Red
Cross, speaking about the reality of this most frightening
explosion. He said: �And suddenly there appeared these intense,
muddy pinkish lights, accompanied by an unnatural tremor. This was
immediately followed by an asphyxiating wave of heat and violent winds that
ravaged everything in their path.
Within only a few seconds, thousands of people who walked the roads or sat in
the city's main streets were burned alive. A great number were
then killed by the intense heat that spread all over. Others were
left lying on the ground screaming in pain with deadly burns all over their
bodies. Anything that had been at the point of impact � walls,
homes, factories, and other buildings � was completely and totally
annihilated, with all traces of these things sent hurling into the sky in a
ghastly whirlwind. Trams were plucked from their steel tracks and flung as if
they had lost their weight and substance. Trains were lifted off
the ground along with their tracks as if they were mere
toys. Horses, dogs, and livestock were all befallen with what
befell the people. Every living thing had lost its life in one painful
turn of events too difficult to describe. Trees were engulfed in
blazing fires, rice fields lost their color, and farms crackled and burned
away like dry straw.
As for the surrounding areas that escaped instant death: Homes were crumbled
and only piles of wooden boards remained amongst bricks and stone
foundations. Everything was crushed as if they were cardboard
houses in a zone of destruction 10 meters in diameter. Those who
survived found themselves totally surrounded by raging fires. The
few people who managed to get to any type of shelter in time died painful
deaths from gamma radiation within 20 to 30 days. By nightfall on
the day of the blast, the blaze slowed down and then died out, finding
nothing left to fuel it. Hiroshima had passed away into nothingness."
These are some of the landmarks of your civilization that you sing and boast
about, and become insolent towards Islam and its Prophet with. Yet
you continue intensifying every form of oppression and corruption and you go
on inventing more and more weapons of destruction, annihilation, and
devastation, and this � by Allah � is the utmost limit of barbaric and
animalistic behavior.
(Or
do you think that most of them even listen or use their intellects?
There are only like cattle, rather, even more astray than that.)
[Soorah al-Furqaan 25:44]
So crown yourselves with your own bombs, including the Hiroshima bomb and its
likes, and crown your leaders with them. Consider all other weapons of mass
destruction as your fangs and claws that you use to prey upon wild animals
and all of Mankind.
(And
those who oppress shall see what kind of outcome overturns them.)
[Soorah ash-Shooraa 26:227]
