🏵️🏵️ The assertions in your article overlook the profound wisdom and divine purpose behind the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) rhetoric. The Qur'an declares, "And We did not send you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds" (Qur'an 21:107). This encapsulates his mission, which was not merely to convey a message but to exemplify compassion and justice in human relations. You emphasize his contemporaries' responses, yet fail to consider that many were transformed by his message, as seen with figures like Abu Bakr and Umar, who embraced Islam and dedicated their lives to it. Furthermore, the Prophet's respect for knowledge and dialogue is evident when he stated, "The seeking of knowledge is obligatory for every Muslim." This reflects his commitment to truth and understanding, showing that he welcomed thoughtful discussion rather than mere criticism.

Gautama, your perspective seems to lack recognition of the transformative power of his teachings which continue to inspire billions. What is often dismissed as rhetoric can be seen as a profound invitation towards reflection, love, and community. Gautama, with an open heart, consider revisiting this narrative, as the truth often lies within compassionate debate.

Best, Mohamed, Ph.D.
