What is the correct stance of the Muslim with regards to the recent insults against the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم?
Question:
"May Allah be good to you! And this questioner says: What is the stance of the Muslim and his obligation with regards to what is recently occurring by way of insults against the Prophet, may Allah send peace and blessings upon him?"
Answer:
"That's nothing new my brother! The Messenger (may Allah send peace and blessings upon him) has been insulted while he was alive and was confronted with ugly descriptions; "You are a magician!", "You are soothsayer!", "You are a liar!". And so on and so forth; "You are not deserving of messengership!", "An orphan!", "The messengership has to be among the angels or the leaders and great ones."
{And they say: "Why is not this Qur'an sent down to some great man of the two towns (Makkah and Ta'if).} [Surah az-Zukhruf 43:31]
"From at-Ta'if. The leader of at-Ta'if or the leader of Makkah. Let him be the messenger. But as for an orphan, a poor being the messenger, that is not befitting."... that is what they used to say.
Allah, the Majestic and Exalted, says:
{Is it they who would portion out the Mercy of your Lord? It is We Who portion out between them their livelihood in this world.} [Surah az-Zukhruf 43-32]
Hence they don't possess anything. And Allah, the Majestic and Exalted, is the one who knows who is suitable for the message:
{Allah knows best with whom to place His Message.} [Surah al-An'am 6:124]
It is not you who proposes. Allah is the one who knows best whom to carry the message and who is suitable for it. And it is this orphan! This trustworthy man! He is the one suitable for the message. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, chose him. Yes."
Shaykh Saalih bin Fawzaan Al-Fawzaan, may Allah preserve him
