A knowledge-based article in light of the caricatures published by a Danish newspaper and then reproduced across other European news media.
This Scholar and former professor at the University of Madinah explains the Islamic viewpoint concerning this issue.


In Defense of the Prophet Muhammad



(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 Muhammad, 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, Muhammad (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 Muhammad 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 Muhammad (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 Muhammad (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]

Greetings,

That's not what I'd call a knowledge-based article, and frankly I'm astounded that someone so plainly bigoted can be called a Professor. Fair enough, publishing the cartoons was insensitive to say the least, but that article is just ridiculous.

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.
All of these are beliefs and assumptions, including the assumption that all Westerners are the same. Incidentally, how does eating pork lead to loss of concern for women's values?

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!
I'm a Westerner. When did I do any of this? It's certainly interesting being told what I think!

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.
I know the West has acted immorally in many ways throughout history - does that mean I necessarily support all of those actions?

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 here he is inciting murder. What a nice chap.

All in all, it's a long time since I've seen such an ignorant, hate-filled rant. And this guy is a former Professor? He's actually been in charge of educating people? I'm stunned.

Peace

Though the wording was general, nowhere in the article does it imply that all westerners engage in the sins listed or that they are all alike.

I think this is a translation issue. The loss of concern for women's values is connected to what follows.
I'm a Westerner. When did I do any of this? It's certainly interesting being told what I think!
As previously mentioned, the statements are general not specific for every single individual residing in the west.
I know the West has acted immorally in many ways throughout history - does that mean I necessarily support all of those actions?
Of course not. And you proved the point by using general wording yourself - when you said 'the west' did you mean every single person residing in western countries? Of course not. You accuse the Shaykh of using the same general terminology you resort to.
And here he is inciting murder. What a nice chap.
Where is he inciting murder?!

And this guy is a former Professor? He's actually been in charge of educating people? I'm stunned.

Hello Ansar,

Your defence of this article worries me slightly. My best hope is that its content has been changed in the translation - I can read plainly what it means as it stands.

format_quote Originally Posted by Ansar Al-'Adl

By using generalised wording, that's precisely what it implies! It's analogous to someone saying "O Muslims, you commit acts of suicide bombing and terrorism." Now, some people calling themselves Muslims have indeed done these things, but making a statement like that would be considered outrageous and insulting, no?

Of course not. And you proved the point by using general wording yourself - when you said 'the west' did you mean every single person residing in western countries? Of course not. You accuse the Shaykh of using the same general terminology you resort to.
Not so. 'The West' is a political entity, one which has acted immorally at various times in history. 'Westerners', the word the Shaykh uses, are individuals who constitute that entity.
Where is he inciting murder?!
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.
He also says here that the West uses these weapons to prey on 'all of Mankind'. Do you think he includes the people of the West in that designation?

Peace

The analogy is not accurate. A Muslim is someone who follows Islam and a westerner is an inhabitant of the west. While you do not mind attributing immoral actions of some westerners to the west, I do not and would never accept attributing the immoral actions of Muslims to Islam.

Even though the word 'weterner' is general, it is quite obvious that it is not taken to refer to everyone living in the west, or else it would include many Muslims on this forum. The Shaykh's use of the word refers to those westerners responsible for the immoral acts you attribute to the west.

Not so. 'The West' is a political entity, one which has acted immorally at various times in history.
By definition, it seems like a geographic entity to me. But for the sake of argument, if we accept your definition of the west, then I agree, westerners would be those individuals that make up the political entity known as the west. If you are not a part of the political administration of the west, then the article is not referring to you.

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.
I am still oblivious as to how anyone can interpret this as inciting murder! You will have to explain.

He also says here that the West uses these weapons to prey on 'all of Mankind'. Do you think he includes the people of the West in that designation?
Which designation? As 'all of mankind' or 'the West'?

I attribute the immoral actions to the political entity known as 'The West'. I'm thinking of actions like colonisation and the slave trade, for example. While I support the ideals of the West, that does not necessarily mean I always support its political leaders.

I call it as I see it. If the article should be interpreted as you say it should, then the Shaykh should have used clearer wording. It's that kind of ambiguity that can upset people by sounding inflammatory, whether intentionally or not.

By definition, it seems like a geographic entity to me.
Right - it is a geographical entity, but it's more often used in a political context.

But for the sake of argument, if we accept your definition of the west, then I agree, westerners would be those individuals that make up the political entity known as the west.
I am a citizen, therefore I am part of this political entity.

If you are not a part of the political administration of the west, then the article is not referring to you.
Why the sudden switch to 'the political administration'? The article doesn't use these words. Instead, it talks about 'Westerners'.

I am still oblivious as to how anyone can interpret this as inciting murder! You will have to explain.
Perhaps you (and the translator) are unaware of the informal usage of the word 'crown' in English, meaning to hit on the head. If the author is suggesting these people be hit on the head with bombs, then that sounds very like inciting murder. However, I can accept that the translator may not have been aware of this meaning. It was the one that sprang to my mind first, though, since balancing bombs on someone's head in a faux-regal manner sounds like such an absurd suggestion.

In any case, again we have this dangerous ambiguity that can only inflame the situation. People who are considered important making statements on sensitive issues such as this should ensure that their words are only translated by people with a satisfactory command of the target language, otherwise dangerous misunderstandings (as mine appears to be) can easily occur.

Which designation? As 'all of mankind' or 'the West'?
I meant 'all of mankind', i.e. the section of text I quoted. Perhaps I need to be clearer too! :)

Hi Callum,
If you feel that the Shaykh should have specified that here is referring to 'some' westerners, I'm not going to argue with that. To me it is obviously understood from the start, but of course dialogue is all about clearing up confusion about the views of others,

My understanding of the statement was that the leaders 'adorn' themselves with such weapons, i.e. feel proud of the tools by which they destroy humanity.

Even if we accept your suggested interpretation, he wouldn't be inciting murder, he would be inciting suicide!

I suppose by 'all of mankind' he is reffering primarily to non-western people.

Hello Ansar,

Let's look at the quote again:

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.
If we go with my interpretation of the word 'crown', which may or may not be what the author intended, the first clause ('So crown yourselves with your own bombs') would indeed imply suicide. However, a later clause ('crown your leaders with them') implies that an unspecified agent (possibly Westerners in general) should attack Western leaders with the aforementioned bombs. 'Crown' in both cases is an imperative verb, suggesting an instruction or order. So the implication in the second clause is not that Western leaders should kill themselves, but that others should attack them. This is the point I tried to get across by saying the author was inciting murder, and as it stands, that's what the text seems to demand.

I'm shocked by this because I've never seen academics write in such a blatantly violent way. This text pretends to be objective, but fails on so many counts. This kind of emotive and, frankly, primitive language has no place in academic discourse.

If we take your interpretation, then he would still be telling the west to crown its own leaders with these bombs. To say that he is inciting murder is possibly one of the most absurd claims and distortions I've ever seen one make of a seemingly-straightforward message.

I'm shocked by this because I've never seen academics write in such a blatantly violent way. This text pretends to be objective, but fails on so many counts. This kind of emotive and, frankly, primitive language has no place in academic discourse.
I'm afraid it seems quite evident to me, that your criticism targets only your own blatant misinterpretations and distortions of the article. The message that I, and most others, take from this article is quite clear, and that is the hypocritical nature of many elements within the west, claiming advancement of civilization, yet participating in its destruction.

Hello Ansar,

We've had lots of discussions here on the forum, and I've always found you to be an eminently reasonable person, but here it seems we've hit a brick wall. This article has shocked me, as I've said. Can you understand why? You seem to be unfazed by it.

Let it be clear: I do not deny that the West has committed acts of gross immorality and hypocrisy - on this we are agreed. I opposed the recent invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and I am aware of the injustices that have resulted from Western capitalism. However, I do not believe that the solution to these ills can be found in violence and hatred, which is what the author of this article seems to propose.

If he's telling the people of the West to crown its own leaders with these bombs, let's look at what that means. The writer is addressing 'Westerners', never once does he use the words 'the West'. If I, a Westerner, chose to attack Tony Blair with a bomb, are you suggesting that if he died as a result then that would not be murder?

I have not distorted the article in the slightest. Believe me, I know how to analyse a text. Your writing, for example, is typically rational and objective, whereas the writer of this article seems to have given way to his spleen and his subjective opinions. There's no way it could be considered to be an academic article.

Perhaps this comes down, once again, to our different world-views. The message that you take away from the article may depend on your prior beliefs. You say 'most others' would take your view on it; do you mean 'most other Muslims'? I know most Westerners would find it contemptible and horrifying.

That would be murder, and having read other material of Shaykh Rabee', I know that to attribue such an idea to him is absolutely nonsensical.

I maintain what I said before, that the words in this article cannot be taken by any reasonable person as incitment to murder, the idea seems absolutely ludicrous to me.

A Renowned Muslim Scholar's Criticial Response to Recent Attempts to Defame the Prophet Muhammad through Cartoon Drawings and Accusations of Terrorism

Everything was crushed as if they were cardboard houses in a zone of destruction 10 kilometers 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? They are only like cattle, rather, even more astray than that. ) [Quran 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. ) [Quran 26:227]
