According to renowned Islamic theologian Ahmad Gumi, the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (SAW), was insulted by non-Muslims on multiple occasions throughout his lifetime, but he refused to strike or even murder those who assassinated his character.
Gumi said this over the weekend while holding a religious instruction class in his Kaduna Juma’at mosque.
