The prophet Muhammad was an orphan who began with nothing.
He started telling the truth, and was taunted, humiliated, and punished for it.
Eventually, the poor, weary, oppressed and downtrodden began listening to him. All those society cast aside and overlooked.
He reminded them about the right from wrong they already knew in their hearts.
His followers grew in size, and this disrupted the order of things. After years of persecution, harassment, and humiliation, he and his followers peacefully departed to Medina, where a new community formed based on principles of human dignity, respect, and virtue.
Still, the Meccan elites saw the prophet as a threat to their ‘order,’ and continued preparing to destroy the community of the faithful.
From that point onward, the followers of the prophet, called Muslims, were left with a choice.
Continue being abused, humiliated, and stepped on by the tribal elites of Mecca. Allow their wives, daughters, mothers to be raped and enslaved - allow their sons, brothers, fathers and comrades to be massacred.
Or take up the banner of war in self-defense.
They chose the latter option. This is the chain reaction that set off the final victory of the Muslims over Arabia.
The corrupt enemies of humanity have never forgiven Muhammad for this. They slander him, call him a warlord, fabricate lies to ridicule and demonize him.
Had he simply allowed the pagan elites of Mecca to descend upon, kill, humiliate, rape and pillage his followers and their families, he would not have been slandered, but he and his message would surely have been forgotten by history.
It’s become fashionable today to insult and ridicule Muhammad but nobody insulted and ridiculed the prophet more than the Arab tribal elites, and yet today he who was an orphan is revered by over a billion people.
