 Our Attitude Concerning Mocking of the Prophet, SAW
Fatwa from Islamqa
Sheikh Salih al Munajjid
Question:
We have heard about the Westerners making fun of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and mocking him. What should our attitude be towards that? How should we defend the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)?
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:Â
We and every Muslim who feels pride in his religion is grieved by what these fools and criminals have done by mocking our Prophet Muhammad 
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) who is the best man who ever walked on this earth, and he is the leader of the earlier and later generations, may the blessings and peace of my Lord be upon him.Â
This insolence is nothing strange on their part, rather it is to be expected of them. Â
Moreover this crime – although it breaks our hearts and fills them with anger, and we are prepared to sacrifice our lives in defence of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) – is nevertheless something which brings us glad tidings of their doom, and tells us that the end of their supremacy is at hand. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):Â
“Truly, We will suffice you against the scoffersâ€
[al-Hijr 15:95]Â
Allaah will suffice His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) against the criminals who mock him. He says (interpretation of the meaning):Â
“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)â€
[al-Kawthar 108:3]Â
i.e., he is scorned and humiliated and cut off from all that is good.Â
When the Muslims besieged a stronghold and its people resisted, then they heard them mocking and reviling the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), they would sense that victory was at hand, and it would only be a short time before Allaah granted them victory, to avenge His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).Â
Al-Saarim al-Maslool (p. 116-117).Â
There are many historical cases where those who mocked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) were destroyed and finished off.Â
Moreover, why do they resent the leader of mankind, Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)?Â
They resent him because he called people to believe in the Oneness of God (Tawheed), and they do not believe that God is One.Â
They resent him because he venerated his Lord, may He be blessed and exalted, and declared Him to be far above what these fabricators say, as they attributed a wife and son to Him.Â
They resent him because he called people to the loftiest of morals and to give up the lowest. He called them to virtue and to block all the means that lead to immorality, but they want moral disorder and unlimited sexual liberty.Â
They want to indulge in the swamp of evil whims and desires, and they have got what they want!Â
They resent him because he is the Messenger of Allaah! Allaah, may He be exalted, is the One Who chose him above all mankind to convey His message and receive His revelation.Â

Wa’alaykum Asalaam wa Rahmatullah
Assalam Alaykum girlies, I would have to agree that anytype of art that portrays the image of any prophet is an offense…we can observe and note the behavior that follows after such act. Take for instance the picture of Jesus (pbuh)…how many times have you seen “his” image on the media being mocked at ? in many occasion “his” image has even been created into a cartoon to humor people…this is absolute disrespect…in any circumstances we should not allow anytype of mockery of any prophet (pbuh and Allah
’s mercy). I believe sisters that we should not only allow such mockery but also stand up for anything affliated with our religion…it makes me sad that we don’t have more support on other issues…the message is to be pro-active in our deen in whatever it concerns…. :D I love what you girlies do!!! ^^
Wa’alaykum Asalaam sister Yasmine =)
Yes, very true. The picture is 1) idolized 2) mocked and made into a joke SubhanAllah.
100% sister, i’m with you. May Allah
guide all these ignorant people who mock Islam, who mock Allah 
and His Prophet, saw. ameen
Their hearts are dark and cold, and they cannot see or hear the truth. Insha’Allah
we should have trust in Allah 
, we should not resort to their very low tatics. We should keep up the dawah to them, and with the Permission of Allah 
they be guided,
Wa’alaykum Asalaam sister, thanks for dropping by. Keep up the good work at your blog =)
Love your sister
