Caricatures in
cartoons recently published in Denmark have caused great distress in
the Muslim world. However, it is all too obvious that the figures
pictured in these caricatures are the artists themselves.
A number of
caricatures reflecting the dark mindsets that support violence,
drawn by artists with Darwinist and materialist views, have been
published by a joint decision of the British and French Masonic
Lodges’ Supreme Councils.
The caricatures in
question are actually a camouflage for the dark and murky worlds of
certain atheists, representing only a visible part of the dark,
wide-ranging moves that Global Freemasonry has initiated against
Muslims. People need to know that the most effective—and
permanent—solution to such attacks is a joint struggle against
Darwinism and materialism.
Our Prophet (saas)
possessed such superior moral values, and communicated the message
of Islam—a religion of peace, love and brotherhood—that it is
impossible to equate him with caricatures of this kind. Like the
other messengers sent by God—such as Prophets Abraham, Moses and
Jesus (peace be upon them all)—our Prophet (saas) was a superior,
benign and exceptionally beautiful individual.
All Muslims are aware
of this fact and all publications of this kind are totally in vain.
Clearly, atheistic materialism can never overcome Islam by such
cheap means.
The consequences of daring to mock the prophets are revealed thus in
the Qur'an:
Messengers before
you were also mocked, but those who jeered were engulfed by what
they mocked. (Qur'an, 6:10)
The external
appearance of Prophet Muhammad (saas) was full of the beauties of
creation. The companions of our Prophet (saas) have handed down many
details of the outward physical beauty manifested in this blessed
individual by God—from the majestic dignity that so impressed those
who saw him to the light in his peerless countenance, from his
dignified posture to his serene laughter.
Some of the outward
features of Prophet Muhammad (saas), sent as a moral role model to
all humanity, are set out below.
You can find
comprehensive information on this subject in the book The Prophet
Muhammad (saas) written by Harun Yahya and available on the website:

modesty and security.” |
