Interesting Message sent from a friend

I was sitting in a coffee shop in France one day drinking coffee. On the table next to me sat a bearded man looking at me. I got up, sat by him and asked him,

'Are you a Muslim? '

He smiled and replied,
'I am a Jordanian Jew. I am a Rabbi doing a PhD research on Islam.'

I asked, 'What aspect of Islam are you doing your research on?'

He became ashamed then answered thoughtfully after a while,
'I am researching the extremism in Muslims.'

I laughed out loud and asked, 'Where have you got up to with your research?'

He sighed and said,
'My research has been completed and I am now writing the paper. '


I asked, 'What are the findings of your research?'

He sighed deeply, looked left and right, lowered his head and said,

'After five years of continuous research, I have come to the conclusion that the Muslims love their Prophet more than Islam.

They tolerate all types of attacks on Islam but they do not tolerate any fingers being pointed towards their Prophet.'

This was a shocking answer for me. I lowered my coffee mug onto the table and sat up straight.

He continued,
'According to my research, whenever Muslims fight or rise up, the reason for it is the personage of their Prophet.

You may seize their mosques, destroy their governments, put limitations on the printing of the Quran or you may kill all of their families - they will tolerate all these things. However as soon as you take the name of their Prophet with an incorrect tone, they rise up.

Thereafter it will not matter whether you are a brave warrior or Firawn, they will clash with you.'

I stared at him in amazement.

He said,
'According to my findings, the day the love of Rasulullah (Sallahu alaihi Wassalamu) no longer remain in the hearts of Muslims, Islam will no longer remain.

Therefore if you want to finish Islam, you have to take out the Prophet from the heart of the Muslims.'

With that he put down his coffee mug, picked up his bag, placed it on his shoulder, greeted me and left.

But I remained shaken. I considered the Jewish Rabbi to be my benefactor because before meeting him I was a Muslim by name only but in a few sentences he had explained Islam to me.

I realised that the love of Rasulullah (Sallahu alaihi Wassalamu) was the spirit of Islam and as long as this spirit was alive, Islam was alive. The day this spirit dies then there will no longer remain any difference between us, Christians and Jews.

What do you guys make of this? Please discuss.

There is no Islam if you don't love al-mustafa more than you love yourself.

I think this absurd and obviously fabricated story is complete garbage and ideological brainwashing that has nothing to do with Islam. A pathetic attempt at justifying over veneration and idol worship of Nabi(saw)

Hubb Rasul(saw) is very clearly defined in Shari'ah.

Love of the Prophet means we honor the prophet(saw) stand in pride for him and implement his teachings in our lives,.

Having histrionic episodes, riots and violent emotional outbursts is not the example or teaching of our Prophet(saw). Islam itself is indestructible, what will be lost is the people, and the people will lose Islam, not because they don't gnash their teeth and wail and cry for the Prophet(saw) but because they don't follow what he would do. They're more worried about the external than the substance.

Rasul(saw) is protected by Allah(swt) and doesn't need our defense, our duty is only to demonstrate the Haq against lies. To truly love the Prophet(saw) is to abide in the way of his character.
