“Muslims, you are puppets, and you will do exactly what we want you to do, and not what your Prophet or God wants. You will play our game”
Today’s Wall Street Journal: Professor Kalisch delivers a jolt; he thinks it's likely that Prophet Muhammad Never Existed. Fellow Muslims, Just let it go. No need to react, it will die down on its own.
Muslims, we want you to burn our effigies;
Muslims, we want you to take up protests on the street;
Muslims, we want you to open up a fatwa factory and issue fatwas;
Muslims, we want you to get your women folk carry banners death to some one or the other
Muslims, we want you to.....
“Guess what, we will irritate you more”, and we will keep you suckers busy in doing thing we want you to do”; “we will prevent you from doing good things to humanity that your prophet wants you to do”. Are you ready to react to the statement of Professor Muhammad Sven Kalisch?
STOP ITThose who want to obey the masters, please feel free to do it, and do it as your own act and NOT as a directive of Islam or a Muslim act.
Whoever loudly claims to be a Muslim and a follower of Islam has a responsibility to preserve the good name of the faith, and those around him have a greater responsibility NOT to let that man abuse the faith. He does not need to be on the TV; instead he can go and pray. Prayer must bring peace and tranquility and not anger. Keep praying until prayer it makes you peaceful.
The more you react to Prophet’s cartoons, the more the agitators will have fun. You are merely a pawn to them. The professor in Germany thinks that the Prophet may not have existed.
THE TRUTH

Who cares what this Stupid Professor thinks - How can he be a Muslim if Prophet Muhammed ( saw ) did not exist -- There are scholars who think every thing is a fantasy - right from Adam to Ibraham to Moses to jesus to Muhammed - All books including Torrah , Bible , Quran are fiction - God is also illusionary concept - There are societies and countries which are God less - They dont need a God to live , so what difference does it make if people refuse about the existance of Prophets themselves - Such scholars are very correctly termed in Quran as a similitude of Donkeys with pile of books loaded on their back - So just do Hush Hush to Donkeys - dont start breying with them - Death is not far away from any to get to Haqqul yaqeen of every thing what has been said by Prophet Muhammed ( saw ) will turn out to be shockingly and surprisingly TRUE for non believers.

MIKE!
ReplyDeleteWhy are you responding to this----take your own advise. LET IT G0 YOURSELF!
The Wall Street Journal was recently taken over by Mr. MURDOCK, ALSO OWNER OF FOX AND HALF DOZEN OTHER RACIST RAGS!
This guy makes a big mistake. Hopefully it will put so called pluralistic non-Muslims in the place they should be---forced to now speak out against such things as they have refused to do---while claiming pluralism with Muslims.
You will now see who among them will speak out publicly and frequently,as those who have feigned pluralism have demanded of Muslims each time some Muslim say something stupid, even they the equate a Muslim complaint against the aparthiet of the Israelis as something opposed to spirit of freedom and justice for all---while they (and you) condemn the Alsatians for seeking to re-gain their territory of which they were robbed by Westerners clamming pluralism justified Israel's land grab-----give it a break yourself Mike.
It is not what the professor thinks, it what we do in reponse that concerns me.
ReplyDeleteI had written similar piece prior to the release of the film Fitna, which was co-authored by Imam Zia Shaikh, we hope it helped a few Muslims at least not to react irrationally.
I hope this will at least guide a few Muslims if not many to hold themeselves and act well in adversity
Salaam
Imam Kashif, does not matter what Murdock does, we don't have to be on par with him. We have to do the right thing no matter what any one does. At least we need to keep our conscience clean. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I completely agree. Just ignore all such rubbish. It is floated by design to engage us in futile energy sapping activity. So let us stop being foolish enough to fall for it every time.

Greetings
ReplyDeleteHope this email finds you well. I am the director of international relations at the Institute of Cultural and Islamic Thought in Tehran-Iran. The institute is mainly interested in issues related to religion and scriptural reasoning and we have established a Journal entitled al-Hikma (the wisdom) in English and would be happy to find out ways for co-operations on intellectual issues. Looking forward to hear from you.
Best Wishes

Assalamu alaikum,
ReplyDeleteWhile I agree that we shouldn't emotionally react to such insignificant rubbish, I think it would be good to initiate an intellectual response to such nonsense, thereby showing the fallacy behind what this professor says to both non Muslims and Muslims who may not be knowledgeable enough to refute the gibberish on their own.
For example the many problems I see with his argument is that he hasn't explained how thousands of ahadith could exist recording the Prophet's life and how meticulously Muslims were (and still are) to judge the authenticity of such ahadith so as parse out weak narrations from stronger ones. If the Prophet was really fictional, then why isn't there a straightforward account of his life that could be read like a novel? Why does a science exist to determine what accounts of his life are genuine and what are not? By the way a genuine misconception exists both among general Muslims and nonMuslims that the first ahadiths were not recorded until a hundred years after the prophet's death. Hafsah (RA) was given the responsibility of safekeeping the earliest recorded hadiths. So this means the hadiths existed as early as the time of the Sahabah.
Also the Hadiths are not the only things providing an account of his life. Each verse of the Quran was sent down corresponding to an event or situation that took place in his life. So for example Surah Abasa (He frowned) details a specific event in the prophet's life regarding a blind man (Ibn Umm Makhtum).
Finally if the prophet does not supposedly exist, then who is buried in the Prophet's masjid? If someone says it's someone else then make them show proof; we can then say that about anyone from the past who's dead and buried... that they don't exist and it's really someone else's grave. Never mind all the recorded documentation proving that dead person's existence. And what of the graves of the Sahabah in Al Baqi Cemetery and in the battlefields of Uhud and Badr? Do they not exist too???? Are they all made up too? Where's the proof for that?
BTW all these arguments claiming that Prophet Muhammad doesn't exist could more easily apply to Prophet Isa's life since narrations about his life really were not recorded during his lifetime, the New Testament has conflicting accounts of his genealogy and day for being crucified, and Muslims and Christians both believe that his physical body are not in this world. If people are supposed to believe the last Prophet does not exist why should they believe Prophet Isa existed???
Anyway I apologize for this extremely long post I was just thinking of ways to refute this argument after hearing about it and I just wanted to rehash these thoughts somewhere online. Thank you for letting me post my thoughts here. Jazak Allah ul Khair
Islam is the relegion of Peace. that is media who publish wrong info.
