Deborah's Murder: Prophet Muhammad Was Insulted While Alive But Never Killed Anyone For It


Islamic holy man, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has said that Prophet Muhammad (SAW), was on several occasions during his lifetime insulted by non-Moslems, yet he refused to attack or even kill persons who assassinated his characters.

Gumi made this known while conducting a religious teaching class in his Kaduna Juma'at mosque.

The Kaduna-based scholar, in a video clip obtained and translated by PRNigeria, said the prophet's refusal to retaliate when insulted by non-Moslems was because he did not want to be regarded or tagged a killer.

Sheikh Gumi spoke while reacting to the lynching of a female Christian student at Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto, over allegedly blasphemous statements against Prophet Muhammad.

He observed that the best way Moslems can show that they love Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is by adhering to his religious teaching, and obeying him, instead of killing people over trivial issues.
"But, but, we're Muslim? Isn't that our thing?"
According to him, both Nigerian Moslems and Christians have agreed to live harmoniously together, hence no religious law is applied in the country, being a secular state.

"Hence, anyone who kills a non-Moslem who they have agreed to live peacefully with, will not smell the fragrance of Paradise for 40 years," he said.

Sheikh Gumi, while noting that no one is allowed to take the law into their hands in Islam, called on his fellow Islamic holy mans to impart sound religious tenets to their adherents instead of instigating them to perpetrate 'reprehensible' acts.

"If we think by killing Deborah, people who are not of the same faith with us will stop insulting our prophet, then we are in delusion," he concluded.

PRNigeria reports that Sheikh Gumi a medical doctor and a retired military officer is the current Mufti and mufassir at the Kaduna Sultan Bello Central mosque.

He is the eldest son of late Shaykh Abubakar Gumi, the first Grand Khadi of the old Northern Region who was instrumental to the propagation of Islam in Northern Nigeria.



Zahra Buhari-Indimi, daughter of President Muhammadu Buhari has shared a video of Saudi Islamic scholar, Sheikh Assim al-Hakeem, teaching Moslems how to react to people who insult the Prophet.

In the video, Sheikh al-Hakeem advised Moslems to desist from taking matters into their own hands when there is a case of blasphemy
...the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence to a deity, or sacred objects, or toward something considered sacred or inviolable. Some religions consider it to be a crime. In Pakistain you can commit blasphemy by looking cross-eyed at a Koran...
against the Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

Zahra reposted a few seconds of the video on her Instagram stories on Sunday, in response to the gruesome murder of a female Christian student in Sokoto, Deborah Samuel, for alleged blasphemy on Thursday.

She was killed by her fellow students who are Moslems, and her body was also burnt.

Her remains were laid to rest in her hometown, Tunga Magajiya, in the Rijau local government area of Niger State on Saturday

Sheikh al-Hakeem is said to be one of the prominent propagators of Islam in English in Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century...
The Imam said, "This depends if you are in a Moslem country. This is a major offence that requires the intervention of the Moslem ruler. You simply report these individuals to the court or to the Moslem ruler.

"It’s the duty of the Moslem ruler to execute after going through the legislative processes and going in front of a panel of judges."

"You must not take matters into your own hands because this will turn the community into a jungle," he said.

So, dammit, don't ever play rough
With writers of verse...
Except those you might curse
For lampooning you. Them you can snuff."

Totally not Fred, by the way, so slay him not, s'il vous plais.

#4 Rob,

You are correct. Muhammad did this on several occasions. The first of these, in about 624 was the assassination of Asma Bint Marwan. This is described in the Sariyyah of Umar ibn Adi. The killed was because Asma recited poetry that Mohammad didn't like.

#6 So maybe we all got this wrong from the translations. Perhaps Mo was fine with the whole violence, and world conversion by force thingy, but he was vegan, wanted a plant-based, centered life, and urged his followers to create a Religion of Peas, it just gor mixed up in translation?

And that thing about virgins or raisins? It is clear that Mo had a strong vegetable focus.
