The coincidence of this article on the birth date of the prophet (pbuh) is a sign of sincere devotion and reverence for his indefinitely greatest personality. The mere commemoration and celebration of this distinctive occasion avail naught if it is not coupled with strict application of his way of life, his teachings, and true love of him in our own life. It is a characteristic phenomenon that the lover feels annoyed to hear any word of defamation and degradation that injures the beloved's personality, how so, if the beloved one is the beloved of the lord of the worlds: MUHAMMAD (PBUH).

Nowadays, unusual hostile attitude is being launched against the best of all creation(pbuh) by clandestine foes with apparent accomplice of very few, odd, rebellious individuals who sprung out from among the Muslim nations. I would like to herein diagnose the root cause of the problem, explore the remedy, as well as clarify that the virtual role of the fundamental Islamic approach is missing and the vacuum was filled by other   abstractive secular reasoning in order to address the latter in a similar pattern. While I agree to some extent with this point of view that because the apparent   perpetrators of the problem are bereft of religious teachings, abhor the negative repercussions, detest any tackling of the problem through religious solution, however, I have reservations in this justification due to the fact that there is difference between those who rebelled after knowing the truth and those who have not known it before. The way Allah addressed the pagan Arabs to believe in Him is different to the Jews and Christians who have already received revelation and books from Him. For the former, it is a basic reminder of the creator by channeling their attention towards His creation:   how the camel was made, the heavens raised high, the mountains fixed firm, and the earth spread out and widened; concerning the latter, it is a matter of reminding them the wrath that was afflicted on the nations before them, the bad consequence of rejecting Allah's commandments, disobeying His messenger (Muhammad-pbuh), enjoining them to follow the advice of Moses and Jesus who told them to follow Muhammad (pbuh) after them. For this reason, it is necessary to treat the rebellious apostates from Islamic background in the same way as the people of the book, hence the correct interpretation of the fundamental Islamic verdict in solving this problem is inevitable. The delusions of those perpetrators rest on four main vicious psychic anomalies, each of which has its own solution, at the end of the detailed explanation of the four cases, the reader will be able to conveniently fit those whose abominable and reckless statements against the noble prophet (pbuh) shocked the Muslim world, where they virtually belong to:

1- Deceit and pride 2- Ignorance   3- Feeble-mindedness (can be mental illness in some cases) 4- Envy (Jealous).

The way to deal with each case of the above four has been well defined and explicitly manifested in the infallible and most appropriate inter-reaction of the prophet (pbuh) with the human nature.

1-Deceit and Pride: The prophet (pbuh) sent messages to the Roman, Persian, Egyptian emperors and rulers, wherein he addressed and approached them with due kindness and advice. He complied with their system of correspondence, despite his highest level and infinite honour, when he was told the kings do not read an unstamped letter (He took a ring on which Muhammad the messenger of Allah was engraved for stamping- pictured below); in all letters he started with, from Muhammad the messenger of Allah to Hercules (the great Roman emperor), Kaiser (the great emperor of Persia), Maqoqas (the ruler of Egypt) respectively; yet he motivated them with glad tidings that befits their status as kings and rulers, provided they entered into the fold of Islam, such as his saying to the Roman emperor: Submit to Allah, you will be saved and Allah will give you the reward of those among your nation who embrace Islam.   The Roman emperor after being convinced of the truth, tempted to overcome his natural pride and submit to Allah, had he not been apprehended by the fury and blatant rejection of his advisors and the bishops. Despite the above mentioned compliance with their protocol of correspondence and adequate excuses, the Persian emperor gave no respite of thought to the noble message for his own salvation, however he took it and tore it to pieces, saying: how dare this Arab Bedouin who claims prophethood call me to his religion!. Maqoqas, on the other hand, ruler of Egypt welcomed and   honoured the convoy and sent gifts to the prophet (pbuh). It is this point where the prophet (pbuh) cursed the Persian king that his kingdom be tore to pieces as he did to the prophet's message, which is an evidence of the bad consequences of deceit and pride. In the time of Moses, Pharaoh claimed status of deity but then Allah sent Moses and Aaron to speak gently and kindly to him perchance he reflects positively and comes back to the truth, the latter denied the message and exceeded in his pride and was caught in between the huge tides helplessly to be drown. Once a man who adopted eating with his left hand, ate food with the prophet (pbuh) who advised him to eat with his right hand, the man was so prideful that he mocked at the prophet (pbuh), saying: I can not. The prophet (pbuh) said: then, shall you never be able. Since then the man could not use his right hand.

2-Ignorance : the worst malice of all plagues. However let us observe another perspective of the unlimited beauties of our most noble prophet's (pbuh) way of dealing with the worst types of all ignorance. When it comes to treating the wild nature of Bedouin Arabs, it is so complex that extreme patience, endurance, tolerance,

and steadfastness is a matter of necessity which can never be attained except by the greatest leader and teacher of all mankind. Once an Arab Bedouin came to the mosque and started urinating on one corner therein. The companions attempted to stop him by force, but the prophet (pbuh) said: leave him (finish it), then the prophet (pbuh) told him that the mosque was a sacred place which should not be defiled by abusive acts of impurity and that his action was wrong.

Muawiya said: I was new to Islam as I talked during prayer, when all people around me frowned at me, the prophet (pbuh)   whom I have never seen a teacher better than him then grabbed me and told me very kindly not to do so while   praying.

At this stage, I vaguely   recollect, though unable to conjure up exact year and the mosque, that once a certain old man unintentionally abused the sanctity of the mosque that lead to his being mob lynched by some of the congregation without the least investigation even into his mental condition or ignorance.

3- Feeble-mindedness: known in the Quranic description as ( Safiih ), in Surah AlBaqara v142-Allah says: The foolish among the people will say: what has turned them away from their Qiblah . This verse clearly indicates that those who recklessly speak against the truth without using their brain, are foolish.

There is another type of people with natural mental deficiency who are unable to properly utilise their reflective faculty who should not be entrusted with responsibility which demands sound thinking even if it involves the management of their own wealth. The Quran recommends thus in Surah Annisa v5- To those weak of understanding, make not over your property, which Allah hath made a means of support for you, but feed and clothe them therewith, and speak to them words of kindness and justice. While the first category were ashamed with the mental deficiency, the latter who is not a transgressor but naturally being destined to weak of understanding, there is support, kindness and justice to them.

4-Envy (out of jealous): Surah Annisa v 54 Or do they envy people of what Allah has given them of His bounty, but We have already given the family of Abraham the scripture and wisdom and conferred upon them a great kingdom.

This is specially manifested in the nature of the Jews and Christians who can not digest that Allah has chosen His last and most beloved prophet from among the Arabs.  

The Vatican church has recently authorised an operation code-named Million against Mohamet which included the dispatch and deployment of million Roman Catholic missionaries in the Muslim world. There is a conspired exploitation of the extremely odd among the Muslims to defile the dignity of our noble prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The enemies of Islam are well versed in the cunning plot to mesmerize and brainwash the lost sheep among the Muslims by juxtaposing two, worse and worst images, the first of which is man-made principle whose apparent surface is falsely beautified but internally corrupt, the second of which has nothing to do with Islam but only represents individual reckless deeds. The ignorant Muslim who is bereft of the best (Islamic teachings) is then set to rebel against the latter accusing Islam of backwardness and oppression. No sooner do the above mentioned disgraced apostate utter vile words against prophet Muhammad, than the notorious anti-Islam media is prepared to echo it. By manipulating the previous three errors in their accomplice, the enemies of Islam who envy the prophet (pbuh) were able to vent out their insidious hatred against the prophet of mercy (pbuh). The dividing line between the negative, awful cultures and the heavenly revelation has been deliberately entangled, whereby those who suffer from deceit, ignorance, foolishness, or something of seeking fame, greed for wealth, and other materialistic factors are hurled into confusion to bark aloud parroting their masters who dictate to them in secret. Roger Garaudy, the French thinker and writer was fined some twenty five thousand dollars for publishing his book on the myths of Zionism in which he refuted the holocaust claim of the six million man massacre, and this happened in Paris, not in Tel Aviv!; still in France, Dr.Yusuf AlQardhawi's book the lawful and the prohibited was banned because he mentioned therein the Islamic point of view on unnecessarily keeping dogs as Haram, the importance of the chastity of women, women's awrah and the prohibition of approaching sex (zina)!. While the great scholar of comparative religion Sh. Ahmed Deedat was denied to speak out in France!. I can never comprehend this type of freedom of speech and human rights which allows others to intrude into our rituals and try to offend it, as we frequently hear some who ashamed Muslims of being rude to animals by slaughtering it during Hajj performance, others who talk against the veil of our pure women, and worst of all insult our most beloved prophet Muhammad (pbuh)?!.   what sort of freedom of speech is it?!.

In the case of those mislead apostates who tried to dishonour the prophet (pbuh), ignorance can be healed with knowledge just as the prophet (pbuh) calmly and gently persuaded the Arab Bedouin; feeble-mindedness can be tackled by counseling, advises and guidance, however where it is involved in mental disorder in which the patient causes damages to the soul and dignity of others, then the latter should be locked away from causing such problems to the public; deceit and pride are given chances of repentance such was done to the emperors, kings and Pharaoh. At the end, where these three gather in an evil-natured personality and all positive and good attempts fail, then the only solution is to protect the rest of the body and amputate the cancer-infected organ!. A good lesson for diminishing the thrive of evil and corruption.

HOWEVER, THE GATES OF HEAVEN ARE ALWAYS OPEN FOR REPENTANCE, AND ALLAH LOVES THOSE WHO RETURN TO HIM, REGARDLESS OF THE MAGNITUDE OF THEIR SINS.
