Breaking the Chains of Shame”

In a world where expressing love for the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم is often met with hesitation and shame, it becomes imperative to question why such emotions are treated as a taboo. This blog post aims to unravel the narrative of an auditorium gathering, where the topic of being an “عاشقِ رسول” (Lover of the Prophet) emerged, challenging societal norms and shedding light on the significance of embracing and celebrating one’s love for the beloved Messenger of Allah.

The Unusual Auditorium Gathering:

The narrative begins in an auditorium where everyone seemed reluctant to discuss what was perceived as a controversial or uncomfortable topic—everyone except the narrator. The discomfort surrounding the notion of expressing love for the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم intrigued the narrator, prompting them to delve deeper into the unfolding events.

The Alarming Revelation:

The gathering was convened on Allama Iqbal Day, and various language professors shared their admiration for the renowned poet in their respective languages. However, the atmosphere changed dramatically when a speaker took the stage and proclaimed that Allama Iqbal was deeply enamored with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.

The Revelation of Love:

As the speaker continued, it became evident that the essence of Allama Iqbal’s connection with the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم was profound and spiritual. The narrator, initially struggling to comprehend the unfamiliar languages being spoken, gradually became captivated by the speaker who narrated a story about encountering a Jewish individual who had embraced Islam.

The Unexpected Twist:

The Jewish individual, after attaining a Ph.D. in Islamic studies, expressed his admiration for Muslims’ love for the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. However, he pointed out a disheartening observation—that Muslims were reluctant to show the same passion and enthusiasm for the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in the face of adversity, especially when discussing him in public.

The Challenge:

The speaker, echoing the sentiments of the Jewish convert, emphasized the need to break free from the shackles of shame and embarrassment associated with expressing love for the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. He questioned why Muslims shy away from proudly acknowledging their affection for the Prophet, especially when they are quick to defend their faith in other aspects.

The Call for Authenticity:

In conclusion,

the narrator contemplated the paradox of being ashamed to declare love for the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, despite the profound impact he had on the lives of millions. The post serves as a call to eliminate the stigma surrounding the expression of love for the Prophet, urging Muslims to be authentic in their devotion and unapologetic in their admiration for the final Messenger of Allah.

May Allah grant us the strength to be true lovers of the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and remove any shame or hesitation from our hearts. Ameen.
