French President "Emmanuel Macron" thinks that some caricatures of the fractures of the French or European press will affect our Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. "May my mother and father be sacrificed for you!" Allah and His angels may send blessings on him as long as time and space continue.
No individual, whether a president or a subordinate, in a European country or in France, would exceed what (Hamalat Al-Hattab) meaning ‘the wood bearer’ Umm Jamil Arwa bint Harb, the wife of Abu Lahab bin Abdul Muttalib did. Allah has given a command to his prophet: (And warn your tribe of near kindred.) (Al-Shu’ara: 214), then the Prophet, peace be upon him, rose, gathered his people and informed them that he is a messenger from Allah Almighty, and warned them as his Lord commanded him.
Abu Lahab said: “Woe to you, is that why you brought us together?!” Umm Jamil, the “wood bearer”, used to place thorns in the way of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him.
Their story, Umm Jamil and Abu Lahab, has ended with the Almighty saying: "The power of Abu Lahab will perish, and he will perish. (1) His wealth and gains will not exempt him. (2) He will be plunged in flaming Fire, (3) And his wife, the wood-carrier, (4) Will have upon her neck a halter of palm-fibre. (5)"
Every letter, line, or drawing in a caricature drawn by a hateful or an ignorant one is destined to perish. As for those who supported him with his political and international authority as President of France, his action is nothing more than the act of Abu Lahab. It will surely end. His fate is the fate of everyone who transgressed the Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, in his life or after his death, since John of Damascus (676-749 AD). John of Damascus was the first to falsely mention in his book "DEVAERESBIUS" that the monk Bahira was the one who assisted the Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in writing the Holy Qur’an.
The Spanish Church played a role in spreading myths about our Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Among the most prominent of those who wrote insulting to the Prophet, may God bless him, was the German "Martin Luther" (1483-1564 AD). Martin Luther - may Allah curse him - fondly stated “Muhammad is Satan, and he is the first child of Satan,” "May my mother and father be sacrificed for you!" .
In the modern era comes the book "Satanic Verses" by the apostate Indian Salman Rushdie, which was published in 1988 AD.
The list of those who attempted to belittle the status of the Messenger, may God bless him, and falsely accuse him is long.
France, by the nature of its historical heritage, continues its hatred now veiled by the secularism and slogans of freedom since Pope Urban II called for its first crusade in 1095 AD in Clermont, southern France, in an attempt to wrest Jerusalem from the hands of Muslims.
The French monk "Saint Bernard" played the most effective role in the second Crusade against the Levant, and the Pope of Rome "John III" held a church council for it in the city of Vézelay in the French province of Avalon, and the French king, Louis VII, was enthusiastic about the campaign.
The French King "Philip Augustus" was one of the pillars of the Third Crusade against the Levant.
France continued its anti-Muslim approach, raising the flag of the Cross and launching the Crusades, among them was the campaign of "Louis IX" against Egypt in 1249 AD, which ended with his defeat, 21 years later, France launch the eighth crusade in 1270 AD, which was also defeated.
Napoleon Bonaparte returned with the same hostile approach against the Muslims in 1798 AD to occupy Egypt and then leave it unsuccessfully. Then, the French occupied Algeria in 1830 AD and Tunisia in 1881 AD.
France capped its course with the fragmentation of the Islamic entity with the Sykes-Picot agreement in 1916, so that the Arab and Islamic world remains disintegrated to this day.
France has a long history of conflict with Muslims and Islam, a historical legacy based on a religious ideology. With all this, Could "Macron" cover the light of prophethood and the light religion of Islam?
Islam will reach all parts of the world, and Muslims will continue to remember Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him, five times with every call to prayer. Allah wanted that, the remembrance of Muhammad, May Allah bless him, will remain the highest “and raised high your reputation” (Al-Inshirah: 4). History will forget France and Macron, but Muhammad, May Allah bless him, will remain.
