MENGAPA PROFESSOR BERAGAMA HINDU KAGUM DENGAN NABI MUHAMMAD

Cendekiawan beragama Hindu kagum dengan Kerahmatan Islam yang di contohi Nabi Muhammad. Walaupun Nabi kita mempunyai kuasa mutlak untuk menghukum musuh-musuh Islam yang telah berlaku teramat jahat dan salah terhadap agama Islam, pengikut-pengikut dan dirinya sendiri, Nabi kita dengan penuh rahmah mengampuni dan berlaku baik terhadap mereka.

Kata Prof. Ramakrishna Rao dalam bukunya, Muhammad – The Prophet of Islam,

“At the conquest of Mecca, he stood at the zenith of his power. The city which had refused to listen to his mission, which had tortured him and his followers, which had driven him and his people into exile and which had unrelentingly persecuted and boycotted him even when he had taken refuge in a place more than 200 miles away, that city now lay at his feet. By the laws of war, he could have justly avenged all the cruelties inflicted on him and his people. But what treatment did he mete out to them?

Muhammad's heart overflowed with the milk of love and kindness as he declared, "This day, there is no reproof against you and you are all free".

This was one ·of the chief objects why he permitted war in self-defence- to unite human beings. And when this object was achieved, even his worst enemies were pardoned. Even those who had killed his beloved uncle, HUMZA, mutilated his dead body, had ripped it open and chewed a piece of his lever.”

“Dan tiadalah Kami mengutus kamu, melainkan untuk (menjadi) rahmat bagi semesta alam. - Quran 21:107

"Maka, berkat rahmat Allah engkau (Nabi Muhammad) berlaku lemah lembut terhadap mereka. Seandainya engkau bersikap keras dan berhati kasar, tentulah mereka akan menjauh dari sekitarmu. Oleh karena itu, maafkanlah mereka, mohonkanlah ampunan untuk mereka, dan bermusyawarahlah dengan mereka dalam segala urusan (penting). Kemudian, apabila engkau telah membulatkan tekad, bertawakallah kepada Allah. Sesungguhnya Allah mencintai orang-orang yang bertawakal." Quran 3:159

Semoga kita yang Islam di Malaysia mencontohi Nabi Muhammad dengan zahir dan batin dan senantiasa memperingati ayat-ayat Al Quran di atas.
