There is nothing in the Quran or in the authentic teachings of Prophet Muhammad that justifies, sanctions, or legitimizes people’s killing for opposing, criticizing, humiliating, or showing irreverence toward holy personages, religious artifacts, customs, and beliefs of Islam.
In the end, will they return to their Lord, and We shall then tell them the truth of all that they did .” [ 6:108
It may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): Nor let some women ridicule others: It may be that the (latter are better than the (former):
Nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness, (to be used of one) after he has believed: And those who do not desist are (indeed) doing wrong “. [ 49:11 ]
If blasphemy was punishable by death in Islam, then the Prophet would have been the first to order the killing of hundreds of his foes who later became his closest companions. In our religious books, references are made to six incidents where the Prophet allegedly asked his companions to silence his opponents forever. A careful examination of all such incidents reveals that they are either concocted or far from the truth. (A separate article on those incidents would be forthcoming) Except for a very few earlier Arabs who accepted the Prophet as the Messenger of Allah, the majority of people of Makkah opposed him, humiliated him, cursed or blasphemed him, or even tried to kill him. Yet, he preferred to practice forgiveness seeking the divine mercy for them. Even after being wounded severely in Taif, he refused to seek revenge.
The older woman who used to throw garbage on the Prophet was visited by him when he did not see her throwing it anymore to learn that she was not well. When Suhail bin Amr, a poet who composed poetry blaspheming the Prophet, was taken as a prisoner of war after the battle of Badr, the Prophet asked his companions to show kindness. There are examples to prove that the Prophet never resorted to violence against those who were showing utter disrespect to him or Allah.
Violence against anyone criticizing Islam, Allah, or Prophet Muhammad is unacceptable as the divine teachings make it clear. Any punishment against the so-called blasphemy is a stab in the heart of Islam and a humiliation of the Prophet by those who claim to be his followers. Those who support the killing of people accused of blasphemy are Islam’s enemies because they neither understand Islam nor respect the Prophet. No matter who they are, they must be challenged based on the Quran and the Prophet’s teachings.
Unfortunately, their argument is built on a position that is supported by a good number of Muslim religious scholars all over the world that demand death for acts of apostasy and blasphemy, two of the practices that were developed under the influence of corrupt, despotic Muslim rulers who misused their power to twist religious scholarship to serve their political interests.
The idea of blasphemy is foreign to Islam. Many medieval Muslim scholars justified it based on their understanding of Christian and Jewish texts supporting laws against those who blaspheme and vilify their religions.
The word “blasphemy” came via Middle English blasfemen and Old French blasfemer and Later Latin blasphemare meaning “I injure.” Based on this definition, rulers used laws to victimize non-members of and dissident members of the ruling sect or cult. Countries that had a state religion often used it to serve the interests of the rulers. In Judaism, the third book of Torah, Leviticus 24:16, states that those who speak blasphemy shall surely be put to death. The seven laws of Noah seen by Judaism as applicable to all of the humankind prohibits blasphemy. In Christian theology, the Gospel of Mark 3:29 describes blaspheming the holy spirit as unforgivable eternal sin. Thomas Aquinas considered blasphemy a major unforgivable sin, more serious than murder. The Book of Concord describes it as the greatest sin ever committed. The Baptist Confession of Faith calls it a disgusting and detesting act. Catholic Church has specific prayers and devotions as Acts of Reparation for blasphemy against God, and the Church was a crime punishable by death in much of the Christian world. In England, the last blasphemy execution was that of an 18-year-old Thomas Aikenhead, who was executed for the crime in 1697. He was prosecuted for denying the accuracy of the Old Testament and the legitimacy of Christ’s miracles.
The Quran and the Prophet’s authentic teachings describe the practice of showing irreverence to God and his messenger as acts of ignorance, deliberate provocation, or hatred, or rebellion. The two Islamic guidance sources never proposed punitive actions based on theological dissent or religious differences, or irreverence. Some Muslim jurists have often misused ijtihad’s institution to serve the emotive interests of the people. Khomeini’s fatwa or religious decree proposing the murder of Salman Rushdie was a personal opinion with no direct support from the book of divine guidance.
The Islamic Republic of Pakistan also has its penal code laws that prohibit and punish blasphemy against Islam ranging from a fine to death. The Criminal courts often decide a blasphemy case based on public emotions and political interests rather than the divine writ. Pakistan’s Criminal Code has its blasphemy laws. For instance, code 295 forbids damaging or defiling a place of worship or a sacred object, code 296A forbids outraging religious feelings, code 295 B forbids defiling the Quran, code 295 C forbids defaming Prophet Muhammad.
Defiling the Quran is punishable by imprisonment for life and defaming Prophet Muhammad by death with or without a fine. None of these codes have any basis in the Quran or the authentic teachings of the Prophet. It is a position that many scholars adopted under the influence of despotism that prevailed in the Muslim world for centuries and still prevails in many countries. This position has been challenged by many who knew the Quran and Sunna. But most of the time, their religious authority and opinions were suppressed by the rulers.
Such religious scholars’ tyranny is so intense that those opposed to these laws are condemned as non-Muslims punishable by death. Some of the scholars even encourage their followers to unleash terror against such people. Their arrogance has reached a point that they do not want to listen to any argument based on the Quran and the Prophet’s teachings. Many religious and educational institutions of the Muslim world suffer from the tyranny of these scholars who justify their ignorance and arrogance based on a literature that emerged at a time when Muslims had lost connection with the Quran and by and large was at the mercy of despotic rulers and their hired religious scholars.
Islam is not the monopoly of self-imposed scholars. It is a faith given to people for their well being and guidance without any interference from any authority other than Allah, the Almighty. Those who assume the divine role in condemning people and deciding their life and death based on their religious identity must be questioned for their opinions based on the Quran and Sunna.
If Muslim religious scholars are seriously concerned about the sensitivities of people with regards to their faith and its holy figures, then they should advocate common laws for every religion and religious community, emphasizing that respect must be shown to all religions and freedom of speech must not be seen as a license to hurt and provoke others.
When some people make fun of Allah and His messengers, including Prophet Muhammad, it hurts and causes pain. As acknowledged by the Quran :
We do indeed know how your heart is distressed at what they say. Al-Hijr [15:97]
Repel evil with that which is best: We are well acquainted with the things they say. Al-Mu’minun [23:96]
Nor can goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (Evil) with what is better: Then will he between whom
and thee was hatred become as it were thy friend and intimate! Fussilat [41:34]
[…] fact : It is an argument within Islam. Those Muslims who say a blasphemer must be killed are arguing Islamic law just as much as those […]
Apostacy, un-intellectuality, excessiveness, extremism, violence, jihad not for justice and defense, and blasphemy are all products of the Salafi/Wahhabi clergy and coincide to no qur’anic or traditions of Prophet Muhammad. In all abuses and harassment Prophet Muhammad received from his opposition, the Qur’an tells him to leave them alone and do not react to their insult. For example, it states, “We do indeed know how your heart is distressed at what they say.” (15:97) What to do about it? The next verse answers, “Exalt with the praise of your Lord and be one of those who prostrate.” (15:98) No hadith shall oppose the many qur’anic verses in this regard.

Blasphemy, derived from the Latin Blasphemia, is generally defined as the exhibition of irreverent behaviour or language towards God, religion or anything held sacred. It is a sensitive issue for many, especially those who have an unshakeable faith in their beliefs, religious leaders, holy book, places of worship and rituals.
What acts can be deemed ‘irreverent’, how those who carry out such acts should be punished, and what role the law should play in preventing blasphemy are questions that have instigated huge debate and controversy. Images of certain Muslim groups who adopt harsh punishments against people apparently blaspheming against Islam or turning apostate are displayed horrifically by the Western media. Seeing people being beaten and murdered for the crime of blasphemy has left a deep impact upon the Western World.
Unfortunately, certain misguided Muslim groups are attributing teachings to Islam that have nothing whatsoever to do with it; the media happily relay these stories to the world without considering the fact that such acts are not representative of Islam’s true teachings.
A person is naturally hurt whenever something he holds sacred is defiled or desecrated. Many consider it morally wrong to hurt the religious sensibilities of others, as it can disturb the peace and harmony of society and disrupt law and order, whilst others believe any form of censorship curtails necessary freedoms. The freedom to openly profess, practise and preach one’s religion by all, in particular by minority groups, is what determines the level of religious tolerance of a society. In this matter, justice is not only to be done but must also be seen to be done—actions speak louder than words.
Of great concern at the present time is the subject of whether Islam prescribes any punishment for blasphemy. Every true Muslim loves and regards the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) , the Founder of Islam, more than any other human being. A Muslim may tolerate insults against his parents, relatives or friends, but he cannot endure anyone mocking the Prophet Muhammad (saw) . But how exactly does Islam teach a Muslim to respond to insults against the Prophet (saw) , or for that matter, insults directed at God or anything sacred in Islam? Unfortunately, many Muslims assert that death or other harsh measures are the only possible punishments for those who commit blasphemy. However, as will be explained, this belief is mistaken and incorrect according to both the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah— the Practice of the Holy Prophet (saw) .
Islam enjoins fair treatment of all, including one’s enemies:
… Let not a people’s enmity incite you to act otherwise than with justice. Be always just, that is nearer to righteousness … (Ch.5:V.9)
But Islam does not only condemn the blaspheming of God. It also protects the feelings of polytheists, by forbidding Muslims from attacking their idols. On this point, the Holy Qur’an states:
And revile not those whom they call upon beside Allah, lest they, out of spite, revile Allah in their ignorance .… (Ch.6:V.109)
In other words, Islam teaches Muslims to be sensitive to the sensibilities of others—no matter how strongly they disagree with them. The implication of this verse is that if it is not permitted for Muslims to slander false idols, it certainly cannot be permissible for Muslims to defile other sects within Islam or other religions.
Here we will examine the concept of blasphemy in light of the true teachings of Islam, and also analyse the fall-out of the incorrect interpretations of Qur’anic verses by Muslim scholars in countries such as Pakistan. Pakistan has the 2 nd largest Muslim population in the world after Indonesia, and 97% of its approximate 170 million inhabitants are Muslims. An analysis of Pakistan’s infamous blasphemy laws in light of the Qur’an, Hadith and Sunnah is pertinent because it is important to reveal that the Western media wrongly target these so-called ‘Islamic’ laws in Muslim countries to try and prove that Islam discharges harsh, excessive and medieval justice, whereas the reality is that these laws do not reflect the true Islam, only a completely erroneous interpretation of the Islamic law.
One criticism against the concept of blasphemy is that, when enforced, it curtails freedom of expression. The freedom to speak freely, without censure, is a fundamental human right that should be guaranteed to citizens of every just state. While freedom of speech is necessary for the progress and development of a society, however, this freedom, like all other freedoms, is not limitless.
The truth is that both religious sensitivities and freedom of speech are important and need to be protected. There is no conflict if both operate within their limits and do not trespass into each other’s domain. Yet there are times when sensitivity and freedom will conflict. Nonetheless, although Islam regards blasphemy as heinous and offensive, it does not prescribe any worldly punishment for it, as this would seriously restrict freedom of expression.
Discussing this issue, Hadhrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad (ru) (1928-2003), the fourth Khalifa of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, writes in his book Islam’s Response to Contemporary Issues :
‘Blasphemy: Islam goes one step further than any other religion in granting man the freedom of speech and expression. Blasphemy is condemned on moral and ethical grounds, no doubt, but no physical punishment is prescribed for blasphemy in Islam despite the commonly held view in the contemporary world.
‘Having studied the Holy Qur’an extensively and repeatedly with deep concentration, I have failed to find a single verse which declares blasphemy to be a crime punishable by man’.1
The one major restriction to freedom of expression in Islam is on speech towards someone’s beliefs that may be hurtful. This is deemed to be immoral, and this restriction also covers blasphemy under its umbrella. The Holy Qur’an states:
Allah likes not the uttering of unseemly speech in public, except on the part of one who is being wronged… . (Ch.4:V.149)
Hadhrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad (ru) explains:
‘Although the Holy Qur’an very strongly discourages indecent behaviour and indecent talk, or the hurting of the sensitivity of others, with or without rhyme or reason, Islam does not advocate the punishment of blasphemy in this world nor vests such authority in anyone.’2
Blasphemy Committed Against all Prophets of God
There has been no prophet upon whom derogatory words were not used. The Holy Qur’an confirms that God sent a Warner to every people, and that each and every one of the prophets has been the subject of mockery:
Then We sent Our Messengers one after another. Every time there came to a people their Messenger, they treated him as a liar.… (Ch.23:V.45)
Another verse of the Holy Qur’an also emphasises this:
Alas for My servants! There comes not a Messenger to them but they mock at him. (Ch.36:V.31)
The Holy Qur’an also points out that blasphemous speech was uttered against Mary (ra) and Jesus (as) : For their disbelief and for their uttering against Mary a grievous calumny (Ch.4:V.157). According to this verse, the Jews during the time of Jesus (as) committed a grave blasphemy by declaring Mary (ra) to be unchaste and alleging that Jesus (as) was a child of questionable birth.
Yet despite the fact that the Holy Qur’an confirms that all prophets have been subject to attacks by others, there is no evidence that any of the offenders were ever ordered to be punished.
Blasphemy Against the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw)
The Holy Qur’an mentions many blasphemous utterances by non-believers and hypocrites against the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) without sanctioning any physical punishment for the perpetrators:
Verily, those who annoy Allah and His Messenger—Allah has cursed them in this world and in the Hereafter, and has prepared for them an abasing punishment. And those who malign believing men and believing women for what they have not earned shall bear the guilt of calumny and a manifest sin. (Ch.33:Vs.58-59)
It should be noted that the ‘abasing punishment’ of blaspheming God and His Messenger rests with God alone and it is up to Him whether He punishes such persons in this world or in the hereafter. The authority to punish blasphemers has not been delegated to anyone, not even to the Holy Prophet (saw) .
The Holy Prophet (saw) was repeatedly mocked by the believers. The Holy Qur’an points out that his opponents claimed he was “ a madman ” (Ch.15:V.7) and that “ there is madness in him ” (Ch.23:V.71). Indeed, many of the disbelievers thought that he was “ a victim of deception ” (Ch.17:V.48) and treated him as a liar. Furthermore, he was labelled a “ poet ” and “ a fabricator ” by the disbelievers (Ch.16:V.102).
But the blasphemous statements did not stop there. Not only did they make personal attacks on the Holy Prophet (saw) , they also insulted the Holy Qur’an, calling it a book of “ confused dreams .” Indeed, the Holy Qur’an itself points to the fact that they saw its instructions as “ mere stories of the ancients ” (Ch.16:V.25).
But this was not enough for the disbelievers—in addition, they tore the Qur’an into pieces and urged people not to listen to it; in fact, they encouraged others to make noise when it was being recited.
And yet, as the Promised Messiah (as) points out, the Holy Qur’an is the greatest blessing to have been bestowed on mankind:
‘The Holy Qur’an is the fountainhead of your salvation for all betterment and success…The supporter or falsifier of your faith on the Day of Judgement would be the Holy Qur’an…Realise, therefore, the value of the blessings bestowed upon you. It is a precious blessing and a great
