Peace be on you.
God sends Prophets to bring human closer to God. Envious people try their best to resist their goal. One such attempt was made recently against Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him).
A peaceful concrete approach to counter this has been outlined by Holy Khalifah of Promised Messiah Mahdi which includes points:
= Prostrate before God to contend with the perpetrators; May God make them a cautionary sign.
= Express indignation and disgust at the vulgarity against Holy Prophet s.a.w.
= Draw attention of people to desist from committing such vulgarities.
= Use pure discourse
= Avoid extremist measures.
= Not answer to vulgarity with vulgarity.
= Trust in God that He will deal with perpetrators.
= Invoke, more than ever, peace and salutation on the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) who is destined. The vulgarity and slander by mischievous people does not affect Holy Prophet s.a.w. ‘s honour on whom God and His angels invoke salutations. God commands the believers to do the same. The Holy Prophet s.a.w. is destined for triumph:
Bless, O Allah Muhammad and the people of Muhammad, as You blessed Ibrahim and the people of Ibrahim. You are indeed the Praiseworthy, the Glorious.
Prosper, O Allah Muhammad and the people of Muhammad, as You did prosper Ibrahim and the people of Ibrahim. You are the Praiseworthy, the Glorious.
= Make the world aware of the reality as opposed to conspiracy and present the beautiful aspects and blessed models of the Holy Prophet s.a.w.
[ For example, online Book ‘The Introduction to the Study of Holy Quran’ --- by 2 nd Khalifah of promised Messiah (at wDOTalislamDOTorg Book Section). The book also presents life of Holy Prophet s.a.w.]
= Demonstrate the blessed model of Holy Prophet s.a.w., the Islamic teachings, through their each acts.
The promised Messiah Mahdi wrote:
We consider all those prophets true who appeared in the world ---- whether in India, or Persia, or China or any other country. God instilled their respect and grandeur in the hearts of millions and made firm the roots of their religion, which remained established for centuries. This is the principle that the Quran teaches us. In light of this principle, we honour all religious founders who fall under this description whether they are the founders of the religion of the Hindus, or the religion of Persian, or the religion of Chinese, or the religion of the Jews or the religion of the Christians. Unfortunately, our adversaries cannot treat us this way, and they do not bear in mind the pristine and unalterable law of God that He does not give that blessing and honour to a false prophet that He bestow upon the true one. The religion of a fasle prophet does not take root and does not last long as does the religion of a truthful prophet..............................Welfare of humanity, peace, harmony, righteousness, and fear of God call for adhering to the principle that we do not declare such prophets as fasle concerning whose truth the opinion of millions of people for centuries has been established, and they have been supported by God since time immemorial. I am confident that a seeker of truth, whether Asian or European, will cherish this principle, and will profoundly regret that he did not believe in it all along...................... Prosperity should not result from the plans of liars as it does from the activities of a truthful one.That is why the first sign of truthful is that perpetual support is with the truthful, and God plants his religion in the hearts of millions, and grants it long life. Therefore, keeping in view the day of our passing away and the day of recompense, we should not malign such a great sage; rather, we should garner true respect and true love for a prophet who carries such signs. This is the first principle which God has taught us. Through this we have become inheritors of a great moral code.
