On this day in history:
A few days before Ramadan the Danish Newspaper Jyllands-Posten printed 12 insulting and degrading cartoons of our beloved Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم. Subsequently newspapers and magazines in other European newspapers defiantly reprinted the cartoons creating widespread anger and demonstrations across the Muslim world.
Those who harbour hatred towards the Muslim world are fully aware that attacking our beloved Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم is an easy way of provoking the Muslim world and creating tensions to further fuel the propaganda war against Islam. Today we are an easy target for the kuffar despite our huge numbers because the Imam which is a shield to protect the Ummah physically and intellectually is missing.
The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “The Imam is a shield, behind whom you fight and you protect yourself with, so if he orders by taqwa and is just then he has reward for that, and if he orders by other than that then it is against himself.” [Muslim]
In 1913 when the Uthmani Khilafah was in a weakened state, the English author George Bernard Shaw contemplated the writing of a book against the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. But the existence of the Khilafah was enough of a deterrent to stop him from this.
In Shaw’s diary of 1913 he writes: ‘I had long desired to dramatise the life of Mahomet. But the possibility of a protest from the Turkish Ambassador – or the fear of it – causing the Lord Chamberlain to refuse to license such a play, deterred me.’ [Hesketh Pearson’s biography of George Bernard Shaw]
If the Muslim world continues to be divided and ruled by these western backed dictatorships the attacks against our Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and the believers will only continue. Only with the re-establishment of the Khilafah and the implementation of Allah سبحانه وتعالى laws can the honour and dignity of the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم be protected. It is the Khilafah State which will truly protect the deen from abuse and ridicule.
