A Call for Unity



                 Say you tried to square this with the Qur'an in your own mind
                 and deceive the public. They should openly say they know that
                 such things do not exist in Islam. Such people will say they are
                 ill. Let them tell the truth. There is no such thing in the Qur'an.
                 Our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) was ex-
                 ceedingly affectionate and compassionate. A cat was sleeping in
                 his lap, so he cut his robe in order not to waken and disturb the
                 animal. That is the kind of Prophet (may Allah bless him and

                 grant him peace) we have. Where does all this bombing, the
                 bombing of innocent children, and violence come from then?
                 They are deprived of spirit. They do not know how to eat and
                 drink; they have no art, no science, no technology and no love.
                 These people have nothing to do with religion. They are people
                 who attempt to apply the darkness in their souls, polytheism in
                 their souls, to the Qur'an. The life of our Prophet (may Allah

                 bless him and grant him peace) is an open book. He loved beau-
                 ty and art, kept everything around him clean and lovely and
                 spoke in a most pure manner. He was always affectionate, wit-
                 ty and modest. His surroundings were always spotless. He
                 planted roses with the means available at the time. Just think, in
                 the desert environment of Mecca and Medina. Just think; he
                 even grew roses there. We can see his propensity toward love
                 and beauty from that. The mighty Prophet (may Allah bless him
                                    and grant him peace) even joked with his

                                       grandchildren. They chased him and he
                                         chased around after them. That was the
                                          kind of person the Prophet (may Allah
                                          bless him and grant him peace) was.
