Prophet Muhammad-Charachter

  • 12 years ago
The critics of Islam after having failed to find any solid grounds in the intellectual field, attack the person of Prophet Muhammad [peace be upon him]. After Danish caricatures, a video from USA is the latest addition. The criticism is baseless, devoid of depth, twisting of half truths and cultural traditions of that time like polygamy, role of women, use of sword, warrior prophet, Qura'n based on Bible etc etc. Most of these slanders have been rejected by eminent orientalists but the ignorant 'Islam Haters' continue to repeat them again and again.
W. Montgomery Watt, a Western scholar observed : ‘Among the world’s major religions it is certainly Islam that the West has the most difficulty in approaching objectively. The reason for this are rooted in past history. Because of the crusades in the 12thand 13th centuries many people in the West wanted the religion of Islam to be better known. But the image they portrayed of Islam can quite accurately be qualified as ‘distorted’. Western opinion about Islam and Muslims was based for centuries on the distorted image’.
“The lies (Western slander) which well-meaning zeal has heaped round this man (Muhammad) are disgraceful to ourselves only.” “A silent great soul, one of that who cannot but be earnest. He was to kindle the world, the world’s Maker had ordered so.” [Thomas Carlyle in ‘Heroes and Hero Worship and the Heroic in History,’ 1840].
This video is part of talks by Dr.Laurence Brown, a US convert to Islam, is part of series to create awareness about PROPHET MUHAMMAD [PBUH], it refutes the biased criticism by narrating his exemplary character, so that the viewer can formulate his/her own opinion.
