Protection of Honour

of

Anbiyya e Karam

Brothers and Sisters!

Assalam o Alleyykum

[Peace be Upon You]

Honour is an attribute which is possessed by every human being and this has to be protected and preserved if one wants to become successful in this world and life hereafter.

Brothers and Sisters! If one loses his ‘Honour’ then his words, speeches, writings etc.etc. do not carry any weight. For example: there shall be weight in the advice to children whose parents have entered into wedlockbecause their ‘Honour’ is intact. But there will be no weight in the advice of parents who have not entered into wedlock because they are disgraced.

Brothers and Sisters! In the article: No 2 Training and Education of Anbiyya e Karam you have read that Anbiyya must be honest, integrate, determined and steadfast, why, because if there is any shortcoming in their personality and character, their teaching will not carry any weight.

Brothers and Sisters! Once Anbiyya e Karam has completed their mission they have to depart from this world. After their departure their followers have to promote their teachings which are based upon the Guidance of Allah. So it is duty and responsibility of their followers that they must protect and preserve the ‘Honour’ of Anbiyya e Karam so that their teachings keep carrying the weight which can affect their heartsand minds and they keep getting closer to Allah.

Brothers and Sisters! However, the selfish people as they find the teachings of Anbiyya e Karam as an obstacle to satisfy their Sensual Appetite they manipulate the facts and invent stories that Anbiyya e Karam have also committed such acts and therefore they are following their footsteps and it is not sin.

Brothers and Sisters! Taurat (Torah) is Book of Allah and was revealed to Hazrat Musa (PBUH). Bani Isra’iel were mischievous. They have made changes and adaptations in the Old Testament and New Testamentwhere sins are not considered sin and also invented stories about Anbiyya e Karam and included in Old Testament and New Testament which led people to believe that this has been revealed by Allah.

Brothers and Sisters! As below are some examples which depict that the mischievous people invented stories to satisfy their Sensual Appetite.

Extract: The Bible Book: Genesis 9

Re – Hazrat Nuh (Noah) PBUH)

Noah was the first tiller of the soil. He planted a vineyard; and he drank of the wine, and became drunk, and lay uncovered in his tent.

And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.

Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it upon both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.

When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him, he said:

“Cursed be Canaan”; a slave of slaves shall be to his brothers

He also said: “Blessed by the Lord my God be Shem and let Canaan be his slave.

God enlarge Japheth:

And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be his slave.

Extract: The Bible Book: Genesis 20

Re – Hazrat Lut (Lot) (PBUH)

Now Lot went up out of Zo’ar, and dwelt in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to dwell in Zo’ar; so he dwelt in a cave with his two daughters.

And the first-born said to the younger, “our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth. Come let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve offspring through our father.

So they made their father drink wine that night; and the first-born went in, and lay with her father; he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

And on the next day, the first-born said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father, let us make him drink wine tonight also; then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring through our father.”

So they made their father drink wine that night also; and the young arose, and lay with him; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.

The first-born bore a son, and called the name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.

The younger one also bore a son, and called his name Ben-anno; he is the father of the Ammonites to this day.

Extract: The Bible Book: II Samuel 11

Re – Hazrat Da’ud (David) (PBUH)

In the spring of the year, the time when kings go forth to battle, David sent Jo’ab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they ravaged the Ammonites, and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem

It happened late afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking upon the roof of the king’s house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful.

And David inquired about the woman. And one said! is not this Bathshe’ba, the daughter of Elli’am, the wife of Uri’ah the Hittite?”

So David sent messengers, and took her; and she came to him, and he lay with her. (Now she was purifying herself from her uncleanness).

Then she returned to her house. And the woman conceived; she sent and told David, “I am with child.”

Extract: Atlas of the Bible: The Queen of Sheba

Re – Hazrat Suleman (Solomon) (PBUH)

In Yesaq’s account, Solomon was impressed with the visiting queen that he determined to beget a child by her.

He wooed her with a feast, then invited her to share his chamber.

She accepted on the condition that he would not take her by force, and he agreed, provided that she take nothing without his permission.

That night, thirsty from the spicy foods, she took a drink of water. Solomon accused her of breaking her oath and seduced her.

The queen returned to her own land and gave birth to a son, who was called Menelik, or Ibn al-Hakim, “Son of the wise man.” When he was grown, he visited Solomon, studies the Hebrew faith, and was anointed king of Ethiopia.

OBSERVATIONS

Brothers and Sisters! The context and substance of the above invented stories depict that mischievous people wanted to make way to:

  • make use of intoxicant
  • illicit intercourse
  • having affairs
  • nakedness and nudity

Brothers and Sisters! It is apparent like day light that in every age people have digressed from the Right Path and indulged in above mischief and do not consider it as sin.

ANBIYYA E KARAM ARE INNOCENT

Brothers and Sisters! Allah is Aleem (Knower of everything). Allah being Aleem Knew that He (SWT) is assigning a heavy responsibility upon the shoulders of Anbiyya e Karam; therefore, He (SWT) inflicted extra powers within them so that they would be able to encounter the attacks of Naffas and Shaitan.

Brothers and Sisters! Of course, Anbiyya e Karam are human beings. Wishes, desires are bound to emerge in their hearts but they fulfill those as per the Guidance of Allah. They will eatand drink Halal food, they will get married, and they will be contended.

Brothers and Sisters! As Anbiyya e Karam are role model for mankind so their honour must be protected and preserved. This is why under the light of Qur’an and Hadith the punishment of Blasphemer is death and Allah has applied this punishment Himself (SWT).

Brothers and Sisters!

  • You will recall the times of Hazrat Musa (PBUH) when His (PBUH) cousin Qaroon was jealous of Him (PBUH).
  • Qaroon Nauz Billah wanted t o disgrace Hazrat Musa (PBUH).
  • Incidentally, Qaroon was very rich person. Hazrat Musa (PBUH) asked him to pay Zakat upon his wealth but he did not want to depart with his money.
  • As Qaroon wanted Nauz Billah to disgrace Hazrat Musa (PBUH) he hired a prostitute to accuse Hazrat Musa (PBUH) that He (PBUH) Nauz Billah molested her.
  • Once Hazrat Musa (PBUH) were delivering a sermon. Qaroon asked a question from Hazrat Musa (PBUH) what is punishment of an adulterer?
  • Hazrat Musa (PBUH) replied to the effect: Stone death.
  • Qaroon pointed out to the woman and said that she says You (PBUH) Nauz Billah molested her. What do you say about it?
  • In short, Hazrat Musa (PBUH) asked that woman to the effect why she is accusing Him (PBUH). She replied that Qaroon hired her to make this false accusation.
  • Upon the Command of Allah the earth swallowed Qaroon along with his wealth.

    Surah Al Qasas Verse no 81

So We caused the earth to swallow him and his dwelling place. Then he had no group or party to help him against Allah, nor was he one of those who could save themselves.

Brothers and Sisters! The above event has become law that anyone who is Blasphemous his punishment is death.

Brothers and Sisters! It is natural phenomenon that every creation has a beginning and end. This world has been created and this has an end. Similarly, there has to be end of the commissioning of Anbiyya e Karam.

Brothers and Sisters! The Last Nabi Mohammed Ibne Abdullah (SAW) has been commissioned 1400 years ago and Deen e Islam which was initially given to our forefather Hazrat Adam (PBUH) has been completed upon Mohammed Ibne Abdullah(SAW) and this has been revealed in the Qur’an:

Surah al Ma’idah Verse no. 3

I have perfected your Way of Life for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your Deen (religion).

Brothers and Sisters! It has also been revealed in the Qur’an that Mohammed Ibne Abdullah  (SAW) is Khatim ul Anbiyya (Lat Prophet):

Surah Al Ahzab Verse no 40

Mohammad (SAW) is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the last (end) of the Prophets. And Allah is Ever All-Aware of everything.

Brothers and Sisters! In short, as no Nabi is to be commissioned by Allah the responsibility of introduction, revival and promotion of Islam has been assigned to the Umaties (followers) of Khatim ul AnbiyyaHazrat Mohammed (SAW) and this has been revealed in the Qur’an:

Surah Al Imran Verse no. 110

You [true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Mohammed (SAW) and his Sunnah] are the best of people ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Maruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained) and forbid Al—Munker (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden, and you believe in Allah.

And had the people of Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed, it would have been better for them; among them are some who have Faith, but most of them are Al-Fasiqun (disobedient to Allah and rebellious against Allah’s Command.


Brothers and Sisters! There are mischievous people in every age who want to satisfy their Sensual Appetite and for them Teachings of Anbiyya e Karam are hindrances. So they always want to find ways to either Nauz Billah disgrace Anbiyya e Karam (PBUT) and even kill them. These aspects have revealed in the Qur’an:

Translation Surah Al In’ am Verse No. 21



Verily, those who disbelieve in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations etc) of Allah and kill the Prophets without right, and kill those men who order just dealings,… then announce to them a painful torment.

Brothers and Sisters! Qur’an has also revealed that the mischievous people recognized Mohammed Ibne Abdullah  (SAW) as Khatim ul Anbiyya (The Last Prophet) just as they could recognise their own sons:

Surah Al In’ am Verse No. 20



Those to whom We have given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognise him (i.e. Mohammed (SAW) as a Messenger of Allah, and they also know that there is no ilah (god) but Allah and Islam is Allah’s Deen), as they recognise their own sons. Those who have lost (destroyed themselves will not believe.

Brothers and Sisters! As Mohammed Ibne Abdullah (SAW) is the Last Prophet therefore the Muslim Ummah is also under obligation to protect and preserve the Honour of Khatim ul Anbiyya (SAW) so that mischievous people cannot invent stories likewise they invented stories about the Anbiyya prior to Mohammed Ibne Abdullah (SAW) and made part of the Books of Allah.

Brothers and Sisters! The personality of Mohammed Ibne Abdullah  (SAW) is like a thornin the eyes of mischievous people and they do not want to lose an opportunity where they can exploit the heart and minds of Muslims which lead to protests and demonstrations in Muslim countries and this leads to loss of property and life.

Brothers and Sisters! Unfortunately, Muslim Ummah has also digressed from the Right Path. With due respect the majority of Muslim Ummah just loves the name of Mohammed Ibne Abdulla (SAW) and not His (SAW) personality.

Brothers and Sisters! Whenever and wherever there is attack upon the personality and character of Khatim ul Anbiyya (SAW) the Muslims just protest, demonstrate and make speeches which is of no use.

Brothers and Sisters! Whole mankind is Bandahs of Allah and offspring of Hazrat Adam (PBUH). Allah loves His (SWT) Bandahs and wants them to go to Paradise forever. Brothers and Sisters! This is why Allah has assigned the responsibility to Umaties of Khatim ul Anbiyya (SAW) to convey the Message of Allah to them and to convey the Message of Allah effectively they must present the personality and character of Mohammed Ibne Abdullah (SAW) in a manner that the mischievous people are impressed and they also become the protector of the Honour of Khatim ul Anbiyya  (SAW) along with other Anbiyya e Karam.

Brothers and Sisters! Protection and preservation of the Honour of Khatim ul Anbiyya  (SAW) is a very vast subject and scholars have written books and articles about it. As below are the efforts made by project: Call for Peace to protect and preserve the Honour of Khatim ul Anbiyya (SAW) along with other Anbiyya e Karam.

Publication of Cartoons by Danish Newspaper

Brothers and Sisters!

  • In the year 2005 I was in Pakistan for publication of books when there were protests and demonstrations due to the publication of the cartoons by Danish newspaper which had reflection upon the personality and character of Khatim ul Anbiyya Hazrat Mohammed (SAW).
  • Thought emerged in mind, with Toffeeq of Allah, that a book should be composed and the qualities and attributes of Mohammed Ibne Abdullah (SAW) should be highlighted where the misconceptions of the mischievous people can be removed.
  • Alhamdu’lillah! Book: Namoos e Rissalat Ki Hifazat Kayun Ki Jai? (Why the Honour of Anbiyya Karam should be Protected?) was composed I Urdu language.

  • I was layman. I thought, people will not be not inspired to listen to a layman’s representations, so it should be promoted from higher level e.g. scholars and daral uloom.
  • I presented copies of the book to Ulema, Muslim head of the states, religious organisations. Unfortunately, Muslim Ummah has digressed so much from the Right Path that no one took any interest. Brothers and Sisters! This depicts that Muslim Ummah only loves the name of Mohammed Ibne Abdullah (SAW) and not His (SAW) personality.

Statement by Pope Benedict XVI

Brothers and Sisters! On 12 September 2006 Pope Benedict XVI while addressing students of University of Regensburg at Southern Germany made the following statement:

Show me just what Mohammed (SAW) brought that was new, and there you will find things evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.

Brothers and Sisters!

  • There were protests and demonstration all over Islamic countries and this issue dragged for a long time.
  • With the Toffeeq of Allah I made analysis of the lecture of Pope Benedict XVI and uploaded on website:www.callforpeace.org.uk under option: Namoos e Rissalat.
  • Wrote letters to heads of states through the respective consulates, Ulema, religious organisations, political parties etc. Letters to the respective authorities can also be browsed on website: www.callforpeace.org.uk under option Namoos e Rissalat.
  • Also wrote letters the Pope Benedict and Archbishop of Canterbury

Brothers and Sisters! Unfortunately, again there was little response from any side which depicts that Muslim Ummah only loves name of Khatim ul Anbiyya (SAW) and not His (SAW) personality.

Blasphemy

Brothers and Sisters! In the year 2007 the Prime Minister of United Kingdom Tony Blair included the name of Salman Rushdi in Queen’s Birthday Honours List. This offended Muslim Ummah and the Prime Minister was petitioned that Salman Rushdie’s name should be withdrawn from the Honours List.

Brothers and Sisters! With the Toffeeq of Allah created an option: Blasphemy on the website: www.callforpeace.org.uk and wrote letters to heads of Muslim and Non Muslim states, Ulema, religious organisations.

Brothers and Sisters! Unfortunately there was little response which depicts that Muslim Ummah is indifferent to promotion of Islamic Values.

CONCLUSION

Brothers and Sisters! Anbiyya e Karam are like fathers of nation. Just like one cannot listen abuse of his father similarly one must not listen to abuse of Anbiyya e Karam.

Brothers and Sisters! In our day to day life there are examples that there are fights, arguments and even murder when someone abuse someone’s father or mother so how can it be possible that the Honour of Anbiyya e Karam must not be protected and Blasphemer is put to death.

Brothers and Sisters! Under the light of the Qur’an and Hadith Muslim Ummah is under obligation to protect the Honour of all the Anbiyya e Karam and not simply the Honour of Mohammed Ibne Abdullah (SAW), why, because a Muslim cannot be a Muslim unless and until he believes in all the Anbiyya e Karam commissioned by Allah and this has been revealed in the Qur’an:

Surah Al Imran Verse no. 81

And (remember) when Allah took the Covenant of the Prophets, saying:

Take whatever I gave you from the Book and Hikmah (understanding of the Laws of Allah), and afterwards there will come to you a Rasool (Prophet Mohammed (SAW)) confirming what is with you; you must, then, believe in him and help him.”

Allah said: “do you agree (to it) and will you take up My Covenant (which I conclude with you)?”

They said: “We agree.”

He (Allah) said: “Then bear witness: and I am with you among the witnesses (for this).

Brothers and Sisters! The context and substance of the above Verse is that all the Anbiyya e Karam believed in Mohammed Ibne Abdullah  (SAW) as Khatim ul Anbiyya (Last Prophet) so every human being has to believe in all Anbiyya e Karam to be a Muslim.

Brothers and Sisters! The stories invented by mischievous people in respect of Anbiyya e Karam: Hazrat Nuh (PBUH), Hazrat Lut (PBUH), Hazrat Da’ud (PBUH) and Hazrat Suleman (PBUH) must be repudiated with reason and this is the duty and responsibility of Ulema e Karam.

May Allah be with You

Wass’a’lam

[May Allah Bless you]
