Mocking Allah, His verses and His Messenger has become a normal thing nowadays and it comes in most cases from abroad, where atheists claim that Islam is a religion of underdevelopment, terrorism and ignorance. That’s why the enemies of Islam continue to mock its teachings, claiming that they have become outdated and do not fit the times!
Glorified be Allah! Has freedom of expression become, from their point of view, their freedom to mock the greatest creation of Allah (PBUH)? However, apparently, those have not found any scientific reason to criticize Islam; thus, they tended to use these desperate cartoons. They failed to extract any scientific or linguistic mistake from the Noble Qur›an or the ahadith (speeches) of the greatest Messenger to convince their followers about it, except these cartoons, which reflect their ignorance.
We have the right to express our opinion about such things, but, we do not mock their prophets, Moses and Jesus, peace be upon them, as they are not responsible for them or their deeds; and because we do not differentiate between these honored prophets, as they are all messengers from Allah (Exalted be He). But, before doing so, let›s listen to this saying of Allah (Exalted be He) about those people and the like of them:
«Surely the ones who hurt Allah and His Messenger, Allah has cursed them in the present (life) (Literally: the lowly (life), i.e., the life of this world) and the Hereafter, and He has prepared for them a degrading torment *** And the ones who hurt male believers and female believers, without reason, then they have readily burdened themselves calumny and evident vice» [Surat Al-Ahzab: 57-58].
May Allah al-Kareem al-Ghafoor have Mercy on all of us, save and protect us from the all evils, Forgive us our sins, keep us steadfast on His true Deen (as practised by our beloved Prophet SallAllāhu Alaihi wa Sallam, his Companions and the at-Taaba’een), Guide those of us who are Misguided, and unite the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad SallAllāhu Alaihi wa Sallam, Aameen!
