Short Description
<h2 >Why do they fight Islam?!
Though the manners of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) are noble and his biography is recorded and documented, yet, lots of people deny and give the lie to it. Moreover, they go beyond, that is they curse, slander, defame and vilify him!
The one may get confused and amazed before these trends defaming Islam and the best of mankind, and the master of human beings Muhammad (PBUH).
I wonder: How it comes for their eyes to be blind to perceive the bright light?! How it comes for their minds to miss such plain right of the prophet Muhammad?! Yet, such astonishment disappears when I contemplate on their conditions, because, they are whether spiteful of ignorant;
For the spiteful, they lack not to knowledge, but they were assured about the right, however; they preferred the wrong to the right willingly. The reason behind this state refers to many things, like preferring the worldly life to the hereafter, considering only their own interests, following their own whims and envy. Indeed, they are deviate sects lacks not to evidence and needs not to proof.
They are whom Allah referred to them in His Glorious Quran: (And they rejected them, while their [inner] selves were convinced thereof, out of injustice and haughtiness. So see how was the end of the corrupters), An-Naml, 14.
The great wicked people
This sect includes the greatest criminals and wicked, the prominent figures blazing sedition and aberration. They are followers of the Devil. They are present at every time, at times of the prophets, the veracious and the righteous. They are foes to the good everywhere and promoting corruption and vice every time and everywhere.
Though, this sect sides the Devil, they seek wretched human leaders who have no compunction and they got their nature deviated. Their hearts are dark and their eyes are blind, so they went astray together with their followers. They completely refused all proofs leading them to the good and dedicated their efforts to combating the reformers and the noble.
Belongs to this sect, Pharaoh, Haman and Qarun, Abu-Jahl, Ubai ibn Khalaf, Abu-Lahab, Caesar, Khosrau, Huyay ibn Akhtab and Ka`b ibn Al-Ashraf.
Some of these were kings and Sultans, while others were pontiffs and monks. Some of them confronted Islam by sword, while others did that through pen that is, through writing. They were Jews, Christians, polytheists, pagans, and atheists. However; some of them displayed Islam, but they concealed a state of hypocrisy, like `Abdullah ibn Ubai ibn Salul.
Indeed, they are dangerous sect that Muslims should always be aware about and to disclose its plans to warn people against their evils.
Though this sect is dangerous to such extent, praise to Almighty God, they are few and inconsiderable if compared to fabricating lies against Islam and slandering the prophet Muhammad and the righteous.
How it comes to compare Pharaoh, Haman and Qarun to the masses of people of Egypt?!
How it comes to compare Abu-Jahl, Ubai ibn Khalaf and Abu-Lahab to people of Mecca wholly?!
How it comes to compare Khosrau to people of Iraq, Persia and areas around?!
How it comes to compare Hercules to Christians of Syria, Anatolia and Europe?!
This sect which combats against Islam willingly confronts the virtue deliberately and knowingly and slanders the righteous while satisfied amounts few id compared to those defaming Islam, combating it and deterring people from its way.
The masses follow those fabricate lies against Islam.
If these are few, then, who is the great mass of those fabricating lies against Islam and disavowing it?!
They are the other party who follows the leading figures of disbelief and aberrance, that is, the common people who have not taught the religion of Islam from its authentic sources. However; religion was formed to them falsely, that is, in the form of abominable heresy or shabby thoughts, so they were driven like flock and followed them to the evil end thinking they are doing well.
They are the ignorant party who lacks to knowledge and the simple who lacks to illustration, or even they may be the rational who needs proofs and evidences.
Simply, the second party needs "Knowledge". It does not practice fighting or abuse out of inner desire to that. Also, it does not defame the prophet Muhammad out of doctrine and deliberation. They are the naïve among the commons.
They are the great mass. They are the commons.
You may closely examine history
Have people of Persia waged wars on Islam, or it was conducted by Khosrau and some of his ministers, leaders and clergymen and groups of the constrained soldiers?
Persians lived for centuries believing in fire as god and that their king Khosrau relates to holly immaculate lineage and the true religion is Mazdak's[1].
Days passed, message of Islam was conveyed to them pure, their eyes came to se the truth, and thus they realized they were in deviation as they recognized the greatness of Islam. Very close, they read on the noble manners of the prophet Muhammad, his wise attitudes and sayings; thus they chose Islam willingly and desirous, not under duress and compulsion.
By Allah, Muslims are not in need to converts to Islam to come by force. Also, they do not compel others to accept their creed, because they are forbidden by Allah to do that. Allah, the Almighty says in this regard: (There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong), Al-Baqarah, 256.
It has become obvious to Persians. They have seen the right and easily distinguished it from the wrong. Thus, most of them adhered to the nature Allah made it in the hearts of all people: (So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people), Ar-Rum, 30. Accordingly, most of Persians converted to Islam except the leading figures among them who continued the course of disbelief and deviation.
Syria, Egypt, north-Africa people acted in the sane trend of Persians, likewise; Christians of Andalusia, Anatolia and East-Europe. East and West Africa people and Indonesians and people in Melayu and Indians were the same case.
The argument of Allah is perfect and Islam is predominant without sword or weapon, but through evidences and proofs.
It is sufficient for Muslims to convey Islam and demonstrate the manners of the prophet Muhammad to have great numbers to the folk of Islam.
Based on that, it becomes obvious the task and mission of the prophets and messengers of Allah, the matter indicated the following Quranic verses: (So is there upon the messengers except [the duty of] clear notification?), An-Nahl, 35, (And there is not upon the Messenger except the [responsibility for] clear notification), An-Nur, 54 and (And if you turn away - then know that upon Our Messenger is only [the responsibility for] clear notification), Al-Maedah, 92. Too many examples are those verses in this regard in the Glorious Quran that it is difficult and lengthy to enumerate them.
The role of Muslims they owe to their prophet Muhammad
How will it be if Muslims neglected their role toward their religion?
The pressing question: what is the consequence of having Muslims neglected in conveying their message of Islam and declaring their teachings of their religion and exploring the manners of their prophet Muhammad (PBUH)?
This nonfeasance would in turn let those of deviated thoughts to explore Islam from their own view and therefore lead people astray.
People, indeed, need a leader and guide. What is the consequence if Muslims neglected their role in indicating Islam, their prophet, manners and values?!
In this connection, the prophet said: (Allah does not take away the knowledge, by taking it away from (the hearts of) the people, but takes it away by the death of the religious learned men till when none of the (religious learned men) remains, people will take as their leaders ignorant persons who when consulted will give their verdict without knowledge. So they will go astray and will lead the people astray[2]). Accordingly, the wonderful felicitous words of Rib` ibn `Amr[3] became obvious which simply indicate the role of Muslims on land and their mission in life. They were: (Allah has delegated us to lead whomever He likes from the sovereignty of people to the His sovereignty, from the narrowness of the present life to the wideness of the afterlife and from the injustice of the religions to the justice of Islam[4].
Such is the noble task that Muslim should always bear in mind, because most of those who confront and dislike Muslims are not cognizant of them or the reality of their religion.
We are in dire need to shed light upon the points of greatness and the perfection of our religion Islam and the life of the prophet Muhammad. We need to demonstrate our selves through our means, write on our manners by our writers and to tackle the manners of our prophet by Muslims themselves.
I have visited to many Cyclopean libraries in the west to see the writings on Islam and Prophet Muhammad in English, I found tens, rather, hundreds, however; most of them were written by non-Muslims. Few of them treated it fairly and maintained Islam, while many of them spoke evil of Islam and the prophet.
<h2 >Where are Muslims?!
Is not it a field of Jihad to write on Islam and its prophet Muhammad the aspects illustrating its greatness, perfection and magnificence?!
Should not this field be covered in details?!
Is not it compulsory upon Muslims to convey the message of Islam to those nations went astray where they have not perceived the greatness of the legislation and manners of Islam?!
Is not compulsory upon Muslims to translate all these virtues of Islam to the renowned and non-noted languages over the world in order that mankind should have no plea against Allah?! (And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the language of his people to state clearly for them), Ibrahim,4.
Do not Muslims feel shy when they see the great masses of mankind live to food and beverages and amuse themselves while they are inattentive to be dedicated to worship of Allah?!
Will not Allah hold Muslims questionable to millions of mankind turned away from Islam and hated the prophet Muhammad, because they had no information about him except from the Jewish media and the like and as they have not read about him save the writings by the atheists and biased?!
The mission Muslims bear is indefinitely weighty and the responsibility is too significant.
Indeed, the whole world is in need to the perfection of our religion, Islam and to be leaded by our prophet Muhammad. The mission of conveying Islam is not easy, because foes keep confronting us, the Devil seeks no rest and conflict to climax. Yet, we should bear in mind the Quranic verse: (And Allah is predominant over His affair, but most of the people do not know) Yusuf, 21 which should make our hearts steadfast and plant firmly thereby our feet.
