The recent events
and publication of cartoons by a
Danish newspaper and others in the
world that have upset many Muslims
(followers of Islam) regarding the
publication of inappropriate
material depicting the Prophet
Muhammad (saws) necessitates that
non-Muslims be provided an
opportunity to understand the
reasons for which Muslims revere the
prophet Muhammad.
God (Allah)
says in the Quran:
"Say (O
Muhammad): O people of the
Scripture (Jews and Christians):
Come to a word that is just between
us and you, that we worship none but
Allah (Alone), and that we associate
no partners with Him, and that none
of us shall take others as lords
besides Allah. Then, if they turn
away, say: Bear witness that we are
Muslims? [Quran ? Aal ?Imraan
3:64]
During his
last sermon, Prophet Muhammad said:
"All
mankind is from Adam and Eve, an
Arab has no superiority over a
non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any
superiority over an Arab; also a
White has no superiority over a
Black nor a Black has any
superiority over a White except by
piety and good action. "
"O People it is true that you
have certain rights with regard to
your women but they also have rights
over you. Remember that you have
taken them as your wives only under
Allah's trust and with His
permission. If they abide by your
right then to them belongs the right
to be fed and clothed in kindness.
Do treat your women well and be kind
to them for they are your partners
and committed helpers."
