Excerpt from the renowned work of Sheikhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, Rahimahullah. The book, As-Saram Al-Maslul `Ala Shatim Ar-Rasul - The Drawn Sword Against Whoever Curses the Messenger (Sal-Allahu Alayhi wa Sallam), was written entirely from memory when he was in prison. He was arrested for beating a man he encountered who was cursing the Prophet, Peace and Blessings be upon him.

 

The book discusses the Shari'ee repercussions for anyone caught speaking ill of the Messenger of Allah, Peace and Blessings be upon him - that such a person has disbelieved in Islam, and whether Muslim or Kafir, should be killed according to the consensus of the scholars.

 

This work, translated for the first time by the Islamic Emirate, is merely a short excerpt from the astounding work written by Ibn Taymiyyah from memory, which is hundreds of pages long in its entirety.
