Prophet Muhammad Was Insulted While Alive But Never Killed Anyone For It – Sheikh Gumi React To Deborah’s Murder

Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has reacted to the death of Deborah Samuel who was killed by her fellow students in Sokoto state over alleged blaspheming.

 Gumi said Prophet Muhammad (SAW), was on several occasions during his lifetime insulted by non-Muslims, yet he refused to attack or even kill persons who assassinated his characters.

Gumi made this known while conducting a religious teaching class in his Kaduna Juma’at mosque.

The Kaduna-based scholar, in a video clip said the prophet’s refusal to retaliate when insulted by non-Muslims was because he did not want to be regarded or tagged a killer.

He observed that the best way Muslims can show that they love Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is by adhering to his religious teaching, and obeying him, instead of killing people over trivial issues.

According to him, both Nigerian Muslims and Christians have agreed to live harmoniously together, hence no religious law is applied in the country, being a secular state.

“Hence, anyone who kills a non-Muslim who they have agreed to live peacefully with, will not smell the fragrance of Paradise for 40 years,” he said.

Sheikh Gumi, while noting that no one is allowed to take the law into their hands in Islam, called on his fellow Islamic clerics to impart sound religious tenets to their adherents instead of instigating them to perpetrate ‘reprehensible’ acts.

“If we think by killing Deborah, people who are not of the same faith with us will stop insulting our prophet, then we are in delusion,” he concluded.
