THE QUR'ANIC FOUNDATIONS AND THE STRUCTURE OF MUSLIM SOCIETY – P 1; & ISLAMIC EDUCATION 26/27 THE QUR'ANIC FOUNDATIONS AND THE STRUCTURE OF MUSLIM SOCIETY – PAGE # 1. By: Dr. Muhammad Fazl-ur-Rahman Ansari – B.Th., M.A. Ph.D. President: World Federation of Islamic Missions. In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful "- - - - - and we have revealed unto thee (o Muhammad pbuh) the Book as an exposition of all things, and as a Guide, a Mercy and Glad tidings to the Muslims" 16/89 al-quran PART: 1 – HE WHOM THE QYR'AN WAS REVEALED. Chapter: 1. – THE CHRISTIAN-JEWISH CAMPAIGN OF VILIFICATION – In projecting the discussion about the HOLY Qur'an, it is necessary to introduce first the personality and the mission of him who was the recipient of its revelation. To do so with any degree of justice would require volumes, because of the extreme richness of the personality as well as the mission. The limitations of the present work, however permit only the briefest introduction. In that connection, again, it seems advisable to present only certain facts, and those too in the words of such Western scholars who, unlike others (who) were thoroughly drowned in building prejudice, felt hesitant in concealing or perverting certain very truths and exerted, with all their background of inherited prejudice, to adopt fair-mindedness in whatever degree possible. In their words, because no judgment can be regarded as more critical than their judgment, and because "the best testimony is that which comes from the enemy's camp." And the Western scholarship in general,--indeed, Christendom and the international Jewry, has exhibited, and continues to exhibit, such limitless cruelty in terms of a planned campaign of misrepresentation and vilification of Islam and Holy Prophet that in a very brief assessment only this course seems to be beneficial for all those who fall victim to Western propaganda,--such persons existing in large numbers in all the communities. The campaign of vilification has, indeed, staggering dimensions; Because, it is not only the Christian priests of medieval ages and the orientalists of the present day. (1) (1) Explanation: "During the first few centuries of Mohammadanism", observes Bosworth Smith, "Christians could not afford to criticize or explain: it could only tremble and obey. But when the Saracens had received their first check in the heart of France, the nations which had been flying before them faced round as a herd of cows will sometimes do when single dog that has put them to flight is called off; and though they did not yet venture to fight, they could al least calumniate their retreating foe. Drances-like, they could manufacture calumnies and victories at pleasure". (Mohammad and Mohammadanism. P. 63. 3rd ed. London 1889). After this remark, Bosworth Smith records those calumnies (pp. 63-72). To say merely that they are vulgar, wild and obscene would not do justice to their atrocious nature. The Dutch orientalist Snouck Hurgronje supports Bosworth Smith's verdict, when he says: "The pictures which our forefathers in the Middle Ages fromed of Mohammad's religion, appear to be a malignant caricature", ( Mohammadanism p. 4), But neither Hurgronje nor orientalists could clean themselves of poison inherited from their medieval forefathers, with the result that the West, even after the debacle of Christianity, remains on the whole an inveterate enemy of Islam and Muslims and continues to spread poison against them through all the available media.
