Pauses and Reflections about Standing up for Al Mustafa


-The Chosen Prophet Muhammad


(Peace be upon him)


Part One


. Praise be to Allah; Praise be to Allah Who exclusively carries this sublime name; I praise Him  whose knowledge and mercy are comprehensive. I commend Him and thank Him. He bestowed on us gifts, graces, and blessings. I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, a pure and sincere witness that will be my ladder to attain His pleasure; and I bear witness that our master and Prophet Muhammad  is His servant and Messenger, by whom He opened blind eyes, closed hearts, and deaf ears; and endowed him with learning, wisdom, and judgment. O Allah! Send Salat (Graces, Honors, and Mercy) upon Your servant and Messenger Muhammad , and bless him and his Companions, who are the wisest, the most patient, the most learned and the most understanding, and the tab'în (the contemporaries of the Companion of the Prophet  after his death) and those who righteously follow them with benevolence. O Allah! Send a lot of Salat (Graces, Honors, and Mercy) upon all of them.


Having said that:


O people! I advise you and myself to fear Allah  truly; obey Allah in a righteous way, may He have mercy on you. The aggrieved are those who make worldly life their most desired objective, and the frustrated one is he who makes his desire a god. Shame and sorrow for those whose resting place is hell. Beware of the consequences; the happy person is the one who fears the consequences, and be ready for the Day of Judgement, when you are exposed barefooted and naked. O mankind! Be afraid of your Lord (by keeping your duty to Him and avoiding all evil), and fear a Day when no father can avail aught for his son, nor a son avail aught for his father. Verily, the Promise of Allâh is true: let not then this (worldly) present life deceive you, nor let the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allâh.[Luqmân: 33]


O Muslims! O hajjis (Pilgrims) of the Sacred Mosque of Allah! You have reached the Holy Land in Makkah - the birthplace of the Messenger of Allah . May Allah send His Salat (Graces, Honors, and Mercy) and Peace upon him, his family, and his Companions- the starting place of his message, and you have reached Al-Madina Al- Munawarah, the migratory place and home for the beloved Muhammad , and his house, “Between my house and my pulpit, there is a garden of the gardens of paradise.”

You are most welcome to the Holy Mosques, the places of divine Revelation, the sources of the Message, and the cradle of Islam, and the starting point of Da’wa (Islamic call). May Allah accept your Hajj (pilgrimage) and ours, make your Hajj (pilgrimage) a proper one, and make your efforts commendable, and your sins forgiven.


O Hajjis (Pilgrims), While you are enjoying these sacred feelings, performing the Hajj rituals, remember the status of your Prophet Muhammad  and what must be given to uphold his veneration, reverence, and to win victory over those who tried to ride roughshod insulting him.


Between your feelings and rituals ‒May Allah preserve you‒ you should be aware that the abuse of the True religion , and the insulting of the Prophets’ status, the mocking of the messengers and disparaging what they brought and deriding what they were sent for, are indeed the worst deeds perpetrated by liars throughout history.


The unjust fabricators and worst crooks inspire one another with adorned abuse and types of jibes that are devised by renewed events and means. Our Prophet Muhammad  is not an uncommon phenomenon among prophets; Nothing is said to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ) except what was said to the Messengers before you.[Fussilat: 43]. Such abuse and offences reached him from the first day of his call for Islam. … "This (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ) is a sorcerer, a liar.[Sâd: 4]. And they said, And they say: "Tales of the ancients, which he has written down …"[Al-Furqân: 5]. And they said, “It is only a human being who teaches him (Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم )."[An-Nahl: 103]. And they said, … and others have helped him at it.”[Al-Furqân: 4]. And they said, … "You follow none but a man bewitched."[Al-Furqân: 8]. And they said: They (hypocrites) say: "If we return to Al-Madinah, indeed the more honourable (‘Abdullâh bin Ubai bin Salûl, the chief of hypocrites at Al-Madinah) will expel therefrom the meaner (i.e. Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه


وسلم )."[Al-Munafiǭun: 8]


All these are just some of their words, evil deeds, lies, myths and unlimited calumniations.


By contrast, O Servants of Allah! The Holy Qur’ān had its approach and method for guiding the Prophet of Allah, Muhammad , reassuring him, and instructing his followers to the stance they should take.


The following are some of the pauses and reflections on such approaches, May Allah protect and preserve you.

Among these pauses and reflections is that this is what the prophets suffered before Muhammad , as Allah  said: And indeed (many) Messengers before you were mocked at, but their scoffers were surrounded by the very thing that they used to mock at.[Al-An’âm: 10]. And Allah  also said: Verily, (many) Messengers were denied before you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ), but with patience they bore the denial, and they were hurt; till Our Help reached them.)[Al-An’âm: 34]


Among other reflections is that whoever denigrates prophets, mocks, humiliates or offends them is the one who is defeated, cut off from posterity and every good thing; he is the one who fades into complete oblivion; he is the one who is lowest and most despicable. This is a well-known fact registered clearly and widely throughout history.


Faith in truth, goodness and virtue cannot be nullified; and the standards of Allah are different from the standards of humans. Where are those who denigrated Muhammad ? They are expelled from history since the first day of the mission until this day and until Allah wills otherwise. It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islâm), to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh) hate (it).[At-Taubah: 33]. For he who hates you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ), he will be cut off (from posterity and every good thing in this world and in the Hereafter)[Al-Kauthar: 3]. He who hates, Muhammad  despises and mocks what the Great Revelation and the divine Shari’a (Law) conveyed, is the most humiliated; and he is cut off from all that is good, and will fade into complete oblivion, and be cut off from any connections. But, Muhammad  is highly remembered, and of exalted status, and his religion is widely spread, and his followers are victorious.


Verily, We have granted you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ) Al-Kauthar (a river in Paradise1).[Al-Kauthar: 1]. How magnificent this juxtaposition is, as Allah gave Muhammad  this abundant and limitless good in this world and the Hereafter while his enemies and those who hate him will fade into complete oblivion, humiliation, and dejection.


Contemplate, may Allah have mercy on you, this amazing Hadith, and this substantial prophetic guidance for the generous Companions and those who


1 (V.108:1) Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه : When the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was made to ascend to the heavens. He صلى


الله عليه وسلم said (after his return), "I came upon a river (in Paradise) the banks of which were made of tents of hollow pearls. I asked Jibrîl (Gabriel), ‘What is this (river)?’ He replied, ‘This is the Kauthar’ " (Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Vol.6, Hadîth No. 488).

righteously followed their footsteps till the Day of Judgment, as mentioned in Al Sahihein (Sahih Muslim and Sahih Al Bokhari , the correct collections of prophetic Hadîth) , that Abu Huraira  said: “The Messenger of Allah  said: ‘Do you not see how Allah keeps away from me the curses and insults of Quraish ?! They insult Muðammam2; they curse Muðammam, but I am Muhammad!’ ” Thus, Allah honoured his name and praised him, and Allah dismissed all the vituperation and sent it to the abusers.


Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar , may Allah have mercy on his soul, says "The Prophet’s expression: They insult Muðammam.” The infidels of Quraish, due to the intensity of their hatred to the Prophet  never called him by his name that signified “the praised one”. Instead they called him by the opposite of his name which means “the disparaged one”. They called him “Muðammam” (the disparaged one), and when they mentioned him with insults, they said: “Allah said so and so to the disparaged one.” Muðammam, (or the disparaged one) was not the Prophet’s  name, and he was not known by such a name; therefore, all types of insult originally addressed by them to the Prophet would systematically be redirected to someone else.”


So, O Muslims! Those drawings, movies and pictures and the like do not definitely represent the Messenger of Allah  our Prophet, neither literally nor symbolically; Muhammad  is light, purity, and reverence. In fact, Muhammad  is synonymous to illumination, chastity, splendor, reverence, serenity, prestige, and compassion. His remembrance is high, his status is lofty, his religion is widely spread in the world, and his followers are triumphant. Alas for mankind! There never came a Messenger to them but they used to mock at him.[Yâ-Sîn: 30] For all of this, we, Muslims, know that the religion of Muhammad  wins minds, hearts and lands everyday while other religions are in regression and decline.


Among other pauses and reflections are: the continuity of the Islamic call, the work for the religion of Allah, and the pushing of the caravan of Islam forward without paying attention to the mockers or detractors. Allah,  said: Therefore proclaim openly (Allâh’s Message - Islâmic Monotheism) that which you are commanded, and turn away from Al-Mushrikûn (polytheists, idolaters, and disbelievers - See V.2:105[A-Hijr: 94]. Truly! We will suffice you against the scoffers,[A-Hijr: 94, 95]. Allah,  said: Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and.[ Al-Kauthar:2]. And Allah,  said: So glorify the praises of your Lord


2 In Arabic, the Prophet’s name is a derivative of the root word ȟamada (i.e. to praise Allah), and the opposite term is ‘ðamma’ (i.e. criticize/disparage); his enemies deliberately call him by the opposite of his name (disparaged instead of praised).

and be of those who prostrate themselves (to Him.3).[A-Hijr: 98]. And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty (i.e. death.4).[A-Hijr: 98-99]


Worship Allah without paying attention to the acts of the hostile enemies such as setting up obstacles, barriers, and blocks. Allah protects, preserves, supports and grants you victory. So Allâh will suffice you against them. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.[Al-Baqarah: 137]


Allah visits on him (the scoffer of the Prophet  all kinds of punishment. Nobody dared to mock the Messenger of Allah  and the message he brought but Allah destroyed him completely, or foiled all his endeavours. And indeed (many) Messengers before you were mocked at, but their scoffers were surrounded by the very thing that they used to mock at.[Al-An’âm: 10]


Among the reflections are the words of Allah : Indeed, We know that your breast is straitened at what they say.[A-Hijr: 97]. The Messenger of Allah  is a human being who cannot help feeling upset at hearing people advocating polytheism and mocking his true message, so he feels concerned about the Islamic call and about the truth; he cannot tolerate falsehood, polytheism, and straying from the right Path. This is an admonition that human emotions are preordained; they are a driving force, but they should not control our actions.


Enthusiasm, excitement and aroused emotions should not exceed the limits of what Allah permits and what the law allows. This requires courage and integrity, which must be accompanied by wisdom, verification, keeping the right equilibrium, and seeking the advice of scholars, or people who are sagacious and wise and can give reliable opinions. It also requires to beware of the following ways that may be detrimental to the interests of religion and Muslims and to be careful that a man’s two arms should not be the force that controls his mind, but that, on the contrary, it is his mind that should control his arms.


3 (V.15:98). a) Narrated Abu Ma‘bad, the freed slave of Ibn ‘Abbâs: Ibn ‘Abbâs رضي الله عنهما told me, "In the lifetime of the Prophet


صلى الله عليه وسلم , it was the custom to remember Allâh (Dhikr) by glorifying, praising and magnifying Allâh aloud after the compulsory congregational prayers." Ibn ‘Abbâs further said, "When I heard the (Dhikr), I would learn that the compulsory congregational prayer had ended." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.1, Hadîth No.802). b) Narrated Ibn ‘Abbâs رضي الله عنهما : I used to recognize the completion of the prayer of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم


by hearing Takbîr (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.1, Hadith No.803).


4 V.15:99) Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه : Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "None of you should long for death because of a calamity that had befallen him; and if he cannot, but long for death, then he should say, ‘O Allâh! Let me live as long as life is better for me, and take my life if death is better for me’" (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.8, Hadith No.362).

As much as thoughts are rational, conscious, and quiet, the results become effective and fruitful with Allah’s will.


We should draw your attention to stay away from undisciplined acts especially if Muslims think that others not only watch and observe their deeds and behaviour, but that they also employ their implications and consequences. Our attitudes and reactions reflect our morals, and our morality stems from our religion. Our serenity and tranquillity show our pride and dignity, and they do not represent weakness, cowardice, or surrender.


We do not accept nor allow anybody to insult the status of our Prophet Muhammad , mock our religion or the Book of Allah . All of these events make us cling to our religion and love of our Prophet Muhammad .


Among the pauses and reflections, O Hajjis of the House of Allah, is that the concepts of truth and falsehood , the principles of justice and injustice, and the limits of right and wrong have shaped the minds of youth and the oppressed in recent decades. These minds have been formed by these injustices they see committed by major powers, and by the entity of Israel, the occupying country. These young people also watched how international agreements and treaties are flouted, distorted, misinterpreted, and misapplied. Young people also watch not only connivance, and ignoring some violations, but they also see siding with the oppressors and defending them, supporting double standards, leaning towards unjust policies, unfair stances, and favour personal interests, insulting and disrespecting peoples.


All this generates a sense of oppression, and arouses feelings of provocation and disgust at international political hypocrisy which denounces whenever it wants and turns a blind eye whenever it wishes.


And those who seek refuge in the freedom of expression tend to violate all treaties, conventions, and agreements, if they think they need to or that their interests are affected or diminished.


The approach of equity, may Allah have mercy on you, and the moderation which we learned from our religion asserts that some of the others are wise and fair, and some of them are defendants of rights and seekers of the truth, but that some of them are ignorant, deceived, and conceited.


Allah forbid that all of those would be grouped in the same discourse or put in one scale, as we give each one his due. Thank Allah that Muslims have disciplined standards to distinguish who is right from who is wrong, and the unjust from the just.

O Muslims! O hajjis (pilgrims) of the Sacred House of Allah! Among of the pauses is what Allah () said: Our Lord! Make us not a trial for the folk who are Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers) (i.e. do not make them overpower us.[Yunus: 85] and what Allah ‒may He be exalted and elevated‒ said, Our Lord! Make us not a trial for the disbelievers, and forgive us, Our Lord! Verily, You, only You, are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise[Al-Mumtahanah: 5]


How rational and perseverant it is to see that some of them (disbelievers) are fascinated by the conditions and status of some of the Muslims; when they see them as weak and backward as they are, they might say: ‘if Muhammad was a true prophet and his religion was a true religion, we would find his followers in the best situation in terms of politics, discipline, good behavior, organization and management, and they would have excelled and shown outstanding skills.


Portraying Muslims as being uncivilized, weak and overpowered militarily, scientifically, administratively, economically, and so on places them, O brothers, at the heart of fitna (trial): Our Lord! Make us not a trial for the folk who are Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers) (i.e. do not make them overpower us.[Yunus: 85]


Yes ‒May Allah bless you‒ it is beautiful and right to express our anger against those who try to offend our religion and our Prophet, but it is also right and rational to reassess ourselves and not get angry at our incapability and slackness to closely adhere to our religion and the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad . We should hold ourselves accountable for what we do and how we acts. We should see how honest we are in assuming our responsibilities and doing our duties. We should get angry upon noticing negligence and the negligent, delinquency and the delinquent within our own families and among our fellow citizens; as there is a fight for death, there is also a fight for life. Similarly, we die for the cause of Allah and we live for it as well. We must learn lessons and preachments not to be a fitna (trial) for those who disbelieve. We must prove that we are a nation of goodness and moderation, one that believes in the Book of its Lord and that follows the footsteps of its Prophet; a nation that takes into consideration all that brings about strength and glory, including science, development and technology which would help lead it to moral decency and success, preserve its cultural heritage, glory, originality and identity, raise its status and promulgate its Message as a mercy for mankind.

We need to be a productive, creative, and industrial nation; for those who do not possess their food are not free to introduce educational, political, social, economic, and all kinds of reform.


In order to take real advantage of such events, we can engage into more Da’wa (call) for Allah and into further support for Prophet Muhammad , through introducing him, publishing his Sira (life events) and his deeds in the best form and most persuasive language possible and through highlighting the civilized nature of our religion, engaging into sound argumentation, adopting tolerance and shunning extremism, lawlessness, excess and negligence.


Such have been a few pauses and reflections with our firm belief that mockery and mockers, scoffing and scoffers would do no harm our Prophet . After all, he is the emblem of kindness, gratitude and moral decency. He is the Seal of the messengers through whom Allah made complete His religion and grace. Verily, his birth was a conquest, his Mission a new dawn and his migration a victory. He was the one to help turn destitution into well-being, scarcity (in the number of Muslims) into multitudes and humiliation into pride.


The actions and the mounting provocation on the part of the disbelievers are but a result of the spreading of Islam, of people’s interest in it and their approval of it. This is good news for the Muslims; when their enemies witness the lights of Islam dissipate the obscurity of ignorance and backwardness and firmly stand, undeterred, in the face of malice and the malicious, and rancor and the rancorous.


We seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan: So, by your Lord (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم ). We shall certainly call all of them to account. For all that they used to do. Therefore proclaim openly (Allâh’s Message - Islâmic Monotheism) that which you are commanded, and turn away from Al-Mushrikûn (polytheists, idolaters, and disbelievers). Truly! We will suffice you against the scoffers. Who set up along with Allâh another ilâh (god); but they will come to know. Indeed, We know that your breast is straitened at what they say. So glorify the praises of your Lord and be of those who prostrate themselves (to Him). And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty (i.e. death).[Al-Hijr: 92-99]


May Allah benefit you and I from the guidance of His Holy Book and Prophet . This is said, I ask Almighty Allah to forgive me, you, and all Muslims from every sin and wrong-doing; we ask Him for forgiveness, for He is truly The Oft-Forgiving , The Most Merciful.

Part Two


Praise be to Allah, praise be to Allah who has raised high the status of those who deserve it and rid the repentant of their heavy burdens. I praise Him  and thank Him for His ample grace and I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah alone, a witness that would save me from the torment of Hell Fire. I bear witness that our master and Prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him), is His servant and chosen Messenger. May Allah send Salat (Graces, Honours, and Mercy) and Peace upon him, upon his kind, virtuous family, his obedient and righteous Companions, the Muhajirin (the early Muslims who had migrated to Medina during the lifetime of the Prophet) and the Ansar (the companions of the Prophet from the inhabitants of Medina who embraced and supported Islam and Muslim migrants from Mecca), the tab'īn and those who follow their footsteps in righteousness as long as night and day alter.


O Muslims! Expressing one’s indignation and showing one’s anger is a legal or rather a required matter, as it is a means to reject evil, particularly in the event that the news were further spread and violators went too far in their injustice and evil doing.


It follows then that the nation with all its rulers and peoples, politicians and scholars, its businessmen and media, its Arabs and non-Arabs, its minorities and communities must together rise in defense of their Prophet, Muhammad , peacefully, efficiently and in an organized manner via specialized bodies and institutions that would be responsible for setting up relevant ways and plans. Such institutions and bodies would be vested with the necessary authority in order to be able to take decisions, carry out and devise proper action and communication all within systematic and legal frameworks while laying the foundation for an effective system nationally and internationally in order to clarify facts about our religion, defend it, expose the offenders of Islam and Muslims and show how they are considered victims to distortion, injustice and oppression.


O Muslims! While world leaders, kings and presidents, rushed to the platform of the United Nations to say whatever they wished on matters of importance to them, our leader, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, may Allah preserve him, in a practical, civilized Islamic manner, went to Taiba, the Prophet’s Medina, and over to the minbar (pulpit) of the Prophet  and said: “from our faith in Allah, we derive our determination and strength to defend our faith, religion and Prophet, Muhammad  against all the spiteful, the hateful and the averse. We shall ever remain committed to this endeavor without retreat until the Day of Judgment, Allah willing.”

Such were his words, may Allah preserve him, as he authorized the great expansion of the Mosque of the Prophet  in an act of support for this religion, emphasizing its strength, taking pride in its service and in belonging to the Sharia’ of its Prophet, Muhammad .


We, Saudis, pertinently know that this expansion has long been sanctioned. However, the timing for its launching comes as an embodiment of this great goal and declaration of strength and glory.


All praise and grace be to Allah!


O Muslims, fear Allah, may Allah have mercy on you. Islam and its future rise above all plotting; and Allah has always been the one to Whom matters are referred. He is in command of what He has ordained, but most people do not know it.


Ask Allah to send His Salat (Graces, Honors and Mercy) and Peace upon the Given Mercy and the Offered Blessings, your Prophet Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah. Your Lord has ordered you in His Holy Book saying –and He is Honest in whatever He says: O you who believe! Send your Salât (Graces, Honours, Blessings, Mercy) on (ask Allâh to bless) him (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ), and (you should) greet (salute) him with the Islâmic way of greeting (salutation i.e. As-Salâmu ‘Alaikum). [Al-Ahzâb: 56]


O Allah! Send Your Salat (Graces, Honours and Mercy) and Peace upon Your Servant and Messenger, our beloved and Your Chosen Prophet, his kind virtuous family (good and pure household), his wives: the mothers of the believers. O Allah! Be pleased with the Four Caliphs –Abu Bakr, Omar, Othman and Ali–, the two pure grandsons: AL-Hassan and Al- Hussain, all the Companions, the tab’în5 and those who righteously follow them till the Day of Judgment. O Allah! Be also pleased with us all, along with them, by Your Pardon, Generosity and Bounty, O You, the Most Generous and Bounteous of all!


O Allah! Grant glory to Islam and Muslims! O Allah! Grant glory to Islam and Muslims! O Allah! Grant glory to Islam and Muslims! Humiliate polytheism and polytheists (who associate partners with You)! And fail the tyrants, pagans and all the enemies of Muslims and Islam.

O Allah! You are Competent to do everything!


O Allah! Preserve our brothers in Syria and Burma! O Allah! Unite their word! Spare their blood, Cure those of them who are sick! Bless the souls of those of them who are dead! Bestow houses upon those of them who are homeless! O Allah! And unite their word, improve their conditions!

O Allah! Defeat the tyrants and oppressors in Syria and everywhere! O Allah! They have oppressed, tyrannized, blemished, corrupted and exceeded limits in slaughter and persecution! O Allah! Destroy them for You are certainly able to do so! O Allah! Divide their crowd, disperse their unity, and make their cunning turn against them!
