When Pope Benedict XVI quoted a Byzantine emperor claiming that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) brought only “things evil and inhuman,” it sparked global outrage. But rather than simply reacting with anger, author and Islamic scholar Jalal Abu Al Rub responded with scholarship — compiling over 50 righteous and humane concepts that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) brought to mankind, proving the Pope’s borrowed claims were utterly baseless.
Groundbreaking Teachings That Changed the World
Among the most powerful examples discussed is the Quran’s explicit prohibition of female infanticide — a horrific pre-Islamic Arab practice where baby girls were buried alive out of fear of dishonor or scarcity. The Quran states that on the Day of Judgment, the infant girl will be asked why she was killed. No previous scripture addressed this atrocity so directly, and no person of sound mind can call such a teaching “evil.”
“I didn’t only bring one, I brought more than 50 actually — you have more than 60 points discussed here. He said bring me anything new that Muhammad brought. I brought 50 concepts that are both righteous and humane.”
Setting the Record Straight on Islam and Violence
The discussion also addresses the misconception that Islam was “spread by the sword.” In reality, Islam’s history shows that the fastest-growing periods of acceptance came through trade, moral example, and the compelling message of pure monotheism. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) established rights for women, orphans, neighbors, and even animals — teachings that were centuries ahead of their time.
“The only religious book in existence that forbids the pagan tradition of killing infant females is the Quran. Can anyone who has a sound mind say this is not good? This is evil?”
Understanding Allah — The Creator of Everything
- Allah is the Creator of all things — the sun, the moon, and everything in existence
- He is the King, the Owner, the One who gives sustenance, life, and death
- He possesses the most perfect names and most perfect attributes
- He is in control of everything, not only in this life but also on the Day of Judgment
- Islam calls humanity to worship Him alone, without any partners or intermediaries
An Open Invitation to Truth-Seekers
Islam simply means surrender and submission to the Creator of the heavens and the earth alone, without partners. It is not about terrorism or harming innocent people — it is a complete way of life dedicated to righteousness, justice, and consciousness of the Almighty. For anyone sincerely seeking truth, studying these 50-plus concepts brought by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) will reveal a message of mercy, justice, and profound wisdom that continues to transform lives around the world.
