Respected sir,
With candid faith and humble submission, I would like your goodself to spare a few moments from your busy schedule, to go through the below mentioned facts.
History is testimony to the fact that human civilizations have witnessed brutal genocides of mankind. Numerous bilateral wars, couple of world wars, conflagration on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, infamous Nazi holocaust of innocents, atrocities inflicted upon innocents by cruel dictators, aparthied segregation of black complexioned people, slavery of poor economic class of society etc… These are some important events which have shaken the collective conscience of the world. Humanity has almost lost faith in the these cruel traders and pseudo ambassadors of humanity because they have brought infinite miseries and pains to humanity. Armament and the mad race of nuclear weapons has jeopardized global peace. The scenario has turned from bad to worse during the last seven to eight decades of twentieth century. These so-called intellectuals and statesmen have brought the world on the verge of a virtual destruction.
After analysing things meticulously, one fails to understand the logic behind the terms like Islamophobia and Islamic extremism. Why is the fourth pillar of democracy so biased towards a particular religion ? I have consciously mentioned some events of extremism in the beginning of this letter so that the world community will recollect the forgotten memories about inhuman and atrocious attitudes of non-muslims. With humble submission, may I ask the world community about the religion of Adolf Hitler ? May I know,who razed Hiroshima and Nagasaki to ashes ? Let the world know, who initiated or caused two world wars which saw the massacre of millions of innocents ? Obviously, Muslims are not involved anywhere in the major carnages of humanity. But, still, extremism and terrorism is attributed to Islam and muslims. Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and others are branded as statesmen. Why do you forget Sideeq, Umar, Uthman , Ali ( RAA ) and others who spread peace and love to the distant corners Of the world. If the world has seen any true statesman, it is my beloved prophet Muhammad PBUH. He PBUH taught the world to respect basic human rights. Recall His last sermon. See, how He PBUH treated His non-muslim neighbors and minorities. How he entered into different truces with his enemies to let peace to flourish.
Here, let me share his broad vision about world peace. Since Mecca was the centre of trade and pilgrimage tourism, but, it was always susceptible to assaults from bandits and robbers. When many caravans were looted and plundered, young Mohammad PBUH who had not attained the prophethood then, came up with an idea to give a safe passage to visitors and pilgrims to Mecca, by forming a band of young and old people from different clans and tribes. This 1450 year old idea of statesmanship inspired the world leaders to form league of nations and later united nations organisation, to preserve world peace. The world has looked upon caliphate as the best model of governance. I guarantee the world of peace and prosperity if it will adopt the model of Umar Bin Khatab to govern the world. Once , caliph Umar was delivering sermon in the pulpit, and one of his followers said, “ O revered caliphe, we could hardly manage to make a pyjama or a kurta, from the share we received from war booty. How did you manage to make both a pair of kurta and pyjama ?” Caliphe Umar RA replied, “ My son gave his share to me and thus I stitched my kurta pyjama “. Can world expect such transparency and freedom of speech and right to information from the contemporary democracies of the world. No, never. It was that Umar whose kingdom was spread over 22 lakh square miles. One can guess his awe and majesty. Jews, Christians and other religious minorities were always respected and treated at par with muslim populace, during the reign of caliphs.
Thus, it is quite evident that prophet Muhammad PBUH has unfolded the secret of world peace, brotherhood and mutual love among people of different faiths and complexions. My beloved prophet PBUH has never been ambitious to extend His physical territories. He PBUH never invaded countries and states to brag and boast about His power. If He PBUH was ambitious about anything, it was love and mutual respect among people of different castes, creeds and religions. What led Dr Micheal H. Hart to reckon prophet Mohammad PBUH as the only man in the world history who was supremely successful on both religious and secular levels. Another literary icon who has won both Nobel prize and Oscar award, writes about prophet Mohammad PBUH, “ I believe that if a man like Him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, He PBUH would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness : I have prophesied about the faith of prophet Mohammad PBUH that it would be acceptable to the Europe of tomorrow”.
Bigwigs of the world are still silent over our emotional torture by French president Emmanuel Macron. Here, I am not intending to tell the world that non-muslims have been at the forefront to disrupt the world peace ? But, I just want to rinse the conscience of the world, to throw away the dirt of bias and prejudice against Islam and prophet Muhammad PBUH. I challenge the whole world to produce a single evidence of war or provocation, initiated by prophet Mohammed PBUH. He defended and fought valiantly when enemies tried to intimidate Him. He PBUH never invaded any kingdom, city or state. He PBUH had no ambition for pride and power. He PBUH forgave everyone, once he conquered Mecca. He PBUH never thought of revenge and avenge.
Very recently, French president Emmanuel Macron has bruised and hurt the sentiments of millions of muslims , followers and admirers of prophet Muhammad PBUH, by passing desecratory and derogatory remarks against Islam. The cursed president stood in support of infamous weekly Charley Hebdo magazine which carried the caricatures and cartoons of our beloved prophet Mohammad PBUH. Let the whole world know that followers of Mohammad PBUH can go to any extent, for the honour of our beloved prophet PBUH. We can behead anyone or get beheaded by anyone for the sake of Mohammad PBUH. His name is dearer to us more than our progeny, parents and faith. Whole muslim ummah is demanding stern action against French president. If UNO is holding any worth and dignity, let it dare the French president to extend unconditional apologies to the muslim world or impose economic sanctions against his country. Whole world knows that the excerable Macron has desecrated UN charter as well. We still believe that the institution you are heading is capable of safeguarding religious and political rights of the world community. Lookink for a brave gesture from your side, respected sir
