[Faith-talk] Garden of Delight, Part 3. Prophet Muhammad and the inhibition of the tongue.

[Mostafa]

    Dear all, peace be with you.

Today I would like to profoundly reflect on the Friday serman of this week.

The Imam addressed the subject of prophet Muhammad and the forbiddance of the tongue.

For us as Muslims, our solace and  contentment essentially comes from the constant remembrance of Allah glory be to Him.   

It was a good refreshment for us to strive in avoding gossips and iniquity.

Prophet Muhammad has predominantly interdicted skiving the tongue, speaking immorally about others, revealing their secrets or seclusions.

     I would like to ask those who are supposedly the conveyers of the divine word, the pastors of demonize Islam bandwagon.

What are the licit justifications of speaking unethically about a dead man and his household, describing them with the wickedest qualities and the foulest of terms.

How do you vindicate  the horrible phrases that I could not repeat due to their enormous filthiness, often pronounced about prophet Muhammad and his wives by the supposedly God word conveyers.

  Is that what Jesus taught you?

I dare you to say yes, because you could not say yes.

I really want to know how would you justify speaking dishonorably  about dead people, whilst they could not even respond to your claims, which is unfair anyway.

I knew that you are awaiting for Jesus like us.

If he peace and blessings be upon him returned, and we critically believe that he will return.

If he returned and heard you assaulting dead people, speaking disgracefully about them, whilst he witnessed me defending their privacy, retaining their dignity.

Whom do you think Jesus will recognize as his follower?

Please relax, take a deep breath and think about it.

Here we are, redefining the major essence of faith.

Religion is not just about spiritual bundles, liturgies, Gospel studies and Church hymns.

More importantly, religion is the way you behave and how you treat others.

This is a reminder for both Muslims and Christians alike.

This is the way I view religion, along with many respectful people of other religions, surely including Jews and Christians.

For those of you who condemn profanity, and they wish to learn a bit about prophet Muhammad, I highly encourage you to go look for the lecture series entitled; the life of prophet Muhammad by Hamza Yusuf.

It is intriguing, simple, and thoroughly informative.

For those who rebelliously insist to insult the prophet with their impure tongues, I will basicly say to them;

Laugh now and cry later.

Thank you for reading, and peace be with you.
