Thanks are due to Allah, the One, and peace and blessings be upon his final Prophet (PBUH ), his family and his Companions.
Allah the Almighty created both humans
and the jinn for a great objective, that is, the realization of
voluntary worship and servitude to Him alone. Allah says in the Noble
Qur’an what can be translated as «And in no way did I create the jinn and humankind except to worship Me.»( 51:56)
As human minds are short of knowing the attributes of the Creator,
their duties towards Him, His rewards for the obedient, and His
punishments to the disobedient, He chose the perfect persons, both
physically and morally, to deliver His Message and guide the people to
His right Way. Allah says in the Noble Qur’an what can be translated as «Allah knows best where He makes His Message.»(6:124)
Allah has not sent an angel who always
worships or another creature that is always playful and self-indulgent.
The reason is that the objectives of the divine Message are the
rehabilitation of man to be able to carry out his task as a successor on
Earth, that is, to worship Allah and cultivate the Earth according to
the divine method.
Therefore, Allah’s Messengers and
Prophets (PBUH) were humans who eat food and walk in the markets, who
marry and have children, who are perfect but human. Prophet Muhammad (
PBUH ) was in no way an innovation among the Messengers and was no
exception. Allah says in the Noble Qur’an what can be translated as «Say, ‘ Surely I am only a mortal the like of you: it is revealed to me that surely your God is only one God «(18:110)
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was endowed with unique attributes so that he
taught humanity how to worship Allah, guided them to abide by the best
of morals, and showed them, through his good policy and justice, how to
navigate their worldly interests.
However, media may mislead some people
who believe in the veracity of everything written or broadcast while it
is devoid of any fairness or objectivity. These misleading media may
cause people to believe what is being said about the so-called demerits
of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It is the duty of every person not to take
this misleading information for granted and to ask the true scholars and
refer to the historical facts that prove the true image of the Prophet
(PBUH).
The reason for writing this research is
the phenomenon of insulting Islam and Muslims and debasing their sacred
symbols, rituals, and legislations. This comes in the form of systemized
fierce campaigns led by politicians and religious scholars and
supported by media. The cause of these campaigns was the abusive
caricatures published by the Danish newspaper Jyllads-posten . These
caricatures depicted Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as a lascivious person or a
bloody killer who is devoid of any of the values of humanity or
civilization. The same caricatures were later published in French and
Norwegian newspapers.
The reaction was an uncontrolled anger on
the part of Muslims all over the world. Demonstrations were organized,
speeches were delivered, conferences were convened, and flags were
burnt. Despite our objection to any form of violence, all these
activities lack the simplest criteria that the true support of the
Prophet (PBUH) must have. Supporting him is not a matter of temporary
anger and aimless demonstration; it is not cursing those who insulted
him or those who did not support him. To really vindicate the Prophet
(PBUH) we should follow a scientific methodology that addresses both the
minds and the hearts.
This methodology should benefit from the
effective ways that aim to maximize the interests and minimizes the
negative points. It should not be an idealistic methodology in an ivory
tower that does not abide by any shariah rule or a human interest and
the result would be it fires against us before the enemy.
This vindication should be comprehensive
to include every fair person from among Muslims and non-Muslims.
Scholars, rulers, traders, etc shall each has his own rule. Vindicating
the Prophet (PBUH ) is an obligation.
This vindication should continue during
our life. First, we should support him within ourselves through
following his instructions and sunnah and leave all bid ’ ahs in order
to be gathered with him and his great Companions on the Day of Judgment,
to have his intercession, and to drink from his hand for one time after
which we shall never be thirsty again.
This scientific research regarding the
doubts about his polygyny, jihad, and attributes is a humble
contribution to the vindication of the Prophet (PBUH). I ask Allah, the
Ever-Exalted and the Omnipotent, to accept this and make our scales
weigh heavy on the Day of Judgment.
