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.
