Dubai: The Saudi Senior Scholars Council has confirmed that defaming Prophets and Messengers will never harm them, but only serves extremists who want to spread calls for hatred among humanitarian communities.
In a statement issued yesterday, the Council urged wise and prudent men of the world community, including individuals and organizations, to denounce such insults as they are not related to freedom of expression or wise thinking but only fall within offering free service to extremists.
The statement added that Islam prohibited accusing any Prophet of lying or wrong-doing and barred attacking religious figures.
The Council said Muslims ought to disseminate the profile of Prophet Mohammed (pbuh), citing his mercy, justice, tolerance and working for the good of all humanity.
