In the face of freedom of expression - the era of partiality

 Allah has mentioned in the holy book of Quran amongst all the prophets the last seal of the prophecy belongs to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He was born in 570 AD on the land of Hijaaz (the present day Saudi Arabia). He is also named in the Holy Quran as the blessed one for the whole universe let alone this world, “Rehmat-al-lil-Alame’en”.

He was sent with a message of mercy, justice and love for the humankind.  He confirmed and validated the message sent to the world through Prophets who passed before him for example prophet Jesus, Prophet Moses and Prophet David peace be upon them.

The Prophet Muhammad PBUH attained unparalleled victory over Medina from where he had escaped 13 years ago because people of Medina were about to assassinate him clandestinely. He explicitly asked his followers at the time of his sheer victory to forgive even worse of his enemies and protect animals, trees and houses of all human beings in Medina.

He was, undoubtedly, the greatest advocate of rightness, humanity and kindness in the world where poverty, injustice and cruelty were rife. Now, the notables and nobles like prophets are mocked and ridiculed on daily basis in the capacity of freedom of expression and speech.

This world of polarized conduct where politics and economy follow the materialistic goals; religion is gradually losing its place from the institutes of learning and from societies. The extent of unleashed comments and feedbacks in the background of freedom of expression or speech can cause devastation and catastrophe in the world which is already going through suffering, inequality and oppression.

The limited visions over history, theology, sociology and political sciences can make politicians to act or comment impulsively in a moment (in order to promote implicit political agendas) which can further wreak havoc the established peace-building endeavors.

In the world of anarchy, chaos and destitution, we need more love and less hate , we need more understanding and less bias. We need more knowledge and less information about each other to build a kingdom of hope and resilience where differences can not only be tolerated but accommodated amicably.
