Message of Peace - Ahmadiyya Muslim Community

22MESSAGE OF PEACEIf the faculty of reasoning is employed, the good or evil ofanything becomes manifest from the fruit it bears. Needlessfor me to discuss the consequences of abusing and reviling theholy Prophets of God, who have been seen and accepted byhundreds and millions of people; there is hardly a people whohave not themselves witnessed the outcome of the bitter fruitof such practices.O Dear Ones! Age-old experience and repeated trials haveestablished, without question, that to insult and abuse theProphets and Messengers of different countries and peoples issuch a deadly poison which not only destroys the body butalso kills the soul, thereby ruining the worldly prospects aswell as the spiritual. A country whose inhabitants are alwaysafter finding faults in the leaders of others, and constantlyassassinate their characters, can never rest in peace themselves.Such people can never achieve true unity who, individually ormutually, refer to each other’s Prophets or saints or divineswith malice or foul language. Who would not be outraged atthe insults hurled at their Prophet or leader? In particular,Muslims are such people who, although they do not believetheir Prophet to be God or the son of God, do regard him sa tobe the most revered of all the holy men born of a humanmother. To make peace with a sincere Muslim is not possibleunless during discussion, their Holy Prophet sa is mentionedwith respect and refined language.As for us 13 , we never use indecent language with regard tothe Prophets of other peoples. In fact, we believe that for allthe Prophets who have come to different peoples of the world13. The Muslims [Publisher]
