Turn the other cheek

[Have you ever seen an image or picture of prophet Mohammed (s.a.w)? It has been about 1400years since he gave his last sermon and till date there has never been an image or a pictorial representation of Nabiyu Rasullullah (s.a.w), this is not a coincidence and indeed is a miracle for those who have reasoning. Have you wondered why this is so? The reason is because human by our weak nature have tendency to ascribe divine attributes to an item, image or stature of an individual that we depend on for spiritual guidance and leadership in the event that that individual is absent. For an individual such as Prophet Mohammed Ibn Abdullah (s.a.w) who was sent revealation from God himself one can only imagine the sort of divinity that would be ascribed to an image, or stature of him.(whearas he is only a messenger and slave of Allah the one true God that should be worshipped)

Since the time of Prohpet Mohammed son of Abdullah Rasullullah (s.a.w) the unbelivers always plotted against him, often making up stories, mockery and somtimes even by physical abuse when they threw rocks at him.This seemed to be a trend by unbelivers against messengers of God because Jesus Isa Messiah son of Mary also was attacked and mocked. This unruly behaviour has been the trait of the unbelivers throughout history and one does not expect it to change, so when the coptic christian filmaker and promoter Nakoula Bassel aka Sam Bacile and Steve Klien produced and released the controversial movie which morally insults both our beloved Rasullullah (s.a.w) and Isa Jesus (a.s.w) son of Mary, it didnt come as a surprise, rather what surprises me is the manner in which some muslims handled the matter. I will address that later but first I will have u know of a plot by some unbelivers of this present day to ridicule, attack and disunite the muslim ummah.

First it was the Danish cartoons in 2005, now in september 2012 the movie which I describe as a sequel to the cartoons was released. Somtime in between another American pastor tried to burn the Holy Quran, all these acts were carried out by a group of misguided individuals who call themselves christians. One does not need critical reasoning to see that these events are not unrelated. They all have a common aim which is to attack Islam. The only variation is that subsequent attempts seem to be more intense and bolder than the preceeding ones.

I wish to also bring your attention to a series of Danish cartoons where they depict crashing a plane into our Holy Kaaba in revenge for 9/11 and another where they suggest blowing it up. In reply to this I will quote the words of the grandfather of the blessed prophet Mohammed (s.a.w) who said "The Kaaba has an owner to protect it".This was his exact response to the Roman Vassal Governor of Yemen, Abraha, when he tried to attack the Kaaba with his army of elephants. Allah destroyed them with little birds carrying baked clay.(suratul Al Fil).They mock they plan and they scheme but Allah is the best of planners.

They exploit every opportunity to oppress muslims because they know our mode of reaction to such matters. According to steven Klien who claimed he visited several mosques in the US, he identified about 500 to 750 muslims who in his opinion where future suicide bombers. Imagine how one draws such a conclusion upon almost a thousand innocent men, women, and children. Klien who is involved in weapons training in his Los Angeles Church, had no regrets whatsoever promoting this controversial film. He also had this to say in response to the most recent unerest sparked by this movie "do I have blood on my hands? No. Did I kill this guy(perhaps referring to the US ambassador to Libya)? No. Do I feel guilty that these people where incited? Guess What? I didnt incite them, they are preincited they are preprogrammed to do this" his words exactly. Just as predicted and anticipated muslims took to the streets immediately the movie was released, soon after, oppressive murderers in uniforms were deployed .They got their opportunity to beat, detain, imprison, invade and even kill muslims all in the name of restoring law and order.

Now back to the issue of my brothers all over the world. Having in mind that this movie did not spring up overnight, the authorities, the world powers, and muslim nations were not unaware of the intention to make and release this film, had the leadership stood their grounds, put worldly gains aside and threaten to impose diplomatic sanctions or outright cut of crude oil supply to the west in the event that such movies are released, would the movie still have been released? would the unrest in Lybia, Sudan, Yemen have taken place? would the loss of innocent lives in the American embassy in Lybia have been averted? Perhaps, but unfortunately such a bold descision was never concidered.

The American government and their allies are hypocrites,Yes! They come out to speak against the movies but behind the scene they grant safe haven and legal backing to these individuals to such an extent that such a movie which was produced in Denmark got released in America. They thrive on the guise of freedom of speech and expression but ridicule and ban the Burqa, which is a classic case of freedon of expression.
The American government and their allies, Israel especially are part of these plotters.Despite the worlwide condemnation of the events of 2005, In Denmark the German chancellor Merkel Angela went ahead to defend and present the M110 media award in Potsdam, Germany on the 7th of September 2010 to Kurt Westergaard the originator of the controvertial danish cartoon for his "courage in defending freedom of speech". These are the leaders of the plotters against Islam.

Allah is not unaware of our situation and on Allah alone let the belivers rely (Qur'an 14:11/12). To
my brethren in Africa, specifically Nigeria, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change that which is in their hearts.The prophet (s.a.w) was a tactical and patient leader.Do the majority of muslims today follow this example?
why do we take to d streets without planing or thinking and start to destroy lives and property upon the slightest provocation? This is not the solution. We need to change that which is in our hearts, we need to put the teachings of Islam and the example of the prophet (s.a.w) above, wealth ,culture, ethnic differences tribalism and personal vendetta .We need to educate the younger generation wholesomely on the proper teachings of Islam. We need to overhaul most of our Islamic institutions especially in the north. We need to educate not only our children but we ourselves, on proper Islamic morals so that perhaps when we get to leadership positions we make better decisions than the present Leaders and some scholars. Dont get me wrong, a peacefull and well organized protest has its benefits, but only in a country where the the government is scincerly sympathetic to the cries of its people.We need to behave such that non muslims begin to see the true beauty of Islam and perhaps they will unserstand the religion better and appreciate that such mockery should not be taken lightly.

On a final note I speak against any mockery of any of the prophets of Allah including Jesus Isa (Asw) son of Maryam(Mary) r.a, and also all those that originated, support or are sympathetic to the cause of the plotters.I speak against the muslims who sit idly by and turn deaf ears to these matters.I speak against all hypocrites in this regard.
