The blessed model of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (may peace
and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the Caricatures

Shock waves of indignation ran across the Muslim world following the recent
publication of offensive and crude caricatures of the Holy Prophet
Muhammad (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in some parts of
Europe. The un-informed, as ever, misled by the mullah gave in to public
display of rage and rampant chaos ensued. Midst this confusion of an
undeniably distressing time for all Muslims, spoke the voice of reason, calm
and peace, precisely in line with the teachings of the “prince of peace”
himself, the Holy Prophet (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
This was the voice of Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih V (may Allah assist him with
His mighty help) that unfolded the reality of the Islamic ways and means to
respond to injustice; calling for peace, reasoning, endeavour to enlighten the
world with the power of the pen and ultimately to always put one’s trust in
sincere prayers. He delivered a series of five faith-inspiring and enlightening
Friday Sermons on the subject that are a beckon of light for anyone in this
often perplexing world that we live in. These Friday Sermons are being
presented in this booklet.
