I would like to answer a wicked lie frequently aroused by malicious enemies of Islam to undermine our faith, to obscure truth and to depreciate the great Message of Muhammad Ibn Abd Allah (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
They claim that Muhammad was a lustful man pursuing his lusts and sensuous pleasures, that he (S) was not satisfied with one wife, or even four, as he (S) taught his followers, but he (S) multiplied his wives and married ten or more driven by his desires and whims. They also claim that there is a big difference between Jesus who resisted his desires and controlled himself, and Muhammad (S) who sought his desires. Allah says:
“…it is a grievous thing that issues from their mouths as saying. What they say is nothing but falsehood!” (18-5).
This shows that they are spiteful liars. Muhammad (S) was never a man of lust, but he was a human Messenger, married as people marry to be an example of following the right and straight path. He (S) was not a God or a son of God as some people believe of their prophet, but a human being like all human beings only distinguished by the Inspiration and the Message.
Allah says: “Say: I am but a man like you, (but) the inspiration has come to me ….” (18:110)
Muhammad (S) was not an innovation among the Messengers so as to diverge from their practice or to contradict their way.
