An Islamic Perspective: The Danish Cartoons of Muhammad of Arabia

AL-JUMUAH BULLETIN: Muslims regard the Holy Prophet Muhammad[,] peace be upon him (pbuh)[,] as the most excellent model of virtue and dignity in the history of mankind. And thus these images are utterly offensive to any Muslim and indeed to any person who cares for the feelings of others. Testifying that Muhammad (pbuh) is Allah’s servant and Messenger is part of the first pillar of Islam. The Prophet is supposed to be the dearest person to all Muslims. Following his teachings and loving him, attracts Allah’s love. Defending him against any ill intentioned persons earns one [entry into] Paradise. Islamic history reveals that about eight companions were martyred in the battle of Uhud in the course of defending their beloved Prophet (pbuh). Renowned companions like Abu Huraira and Bilal preferred keeping the company of the Prophet (pbuh) to enjoying food. It is also common knowledge to Muslims and sincere Jews that Muhammad (pbuh) was the last Prophet of God. [Source: Al-Jumuah Bulletin]
