The Untouchable Prophet
Why Islam Permits the Morally Unthinkable
Even If Muhammad Were a Child Abuser or Rapist, the Ideology Would Still Stand — And That’s the Problem
“If Muhammad did it, it’s not immoral — it’s sunnah.”
— Unspoken foundation of Islamic moral reasoning.
📜 Qur’an 33:21 — The Blueprint for Justifying Anything
“There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern (uswa hasana)...” — Qur’an 33:21
This verse is not advisory. It is authoritative.
-
It makes Muhammad the moral template for all Muslims.
-
His actions are not just historical — they are eternal precedents.
-
No Muslim can reject anything Muhammad did without undermining their own faith.
In effect: Whatever Muhammad did becomes morally permissible — if not virtuous — by definition.
🧠The Dilemma: What Happens If Muhammad Is Proven Morally Wrong?
Let’s run a thought experiment.
Suppose it was objectively proven — through historical records, Islamic texts, and rational ethics — that Muhammad:
Married a 6-year-old child and consummated at age 9 (Sahih Bukhari 5133).
Took female captives as sexual property (e.g. Safiyyah bint Huyayy).
Ordered mass executions (e.g. Banu Qurayza).
Approved of beating wives (Qur’an 4:34).
Would Muslims abandon Islam?
Most won’t.
Why?
Because Islamic moral reasoning is prophetic, not philosophical.
Muhammad is the moral standard.
Therefore, nothing he did can be considered immoral.
To say otherwise is blasphemy — or apostasy.
⚖️ Morality Is Not Based on Ethics — But on Authority
In Islam:
-
Morality is not grounded in reason, empathy, universal human rights, or conscience.
-
It is grounded in submission (Islam literally means “submission”).
-
The Prophet is protected from criticism by divine command.
This is why, even if you prove Muhammad was a child abuser or war criminal by modern standards, it doesn’t refute Islam.
It only reveals that Islam is indifferent to modern moral standards.
🛑 Why This Should Terrify Anyone Who Cares About Ethics
Consider this:
-
If tomorrow it were shown that everything ISIS did was in line with Muhammad’s actions, a devout Muslim would be forced to say:
“Then ISIS was following Islam correctly.”
-
And if Muhammad did something we’d condemn today — like child marriage — the answer is:
“It was moral because the Prophet did it.”
This is not an ideology that evolves. It’s not open to reform because reform implies Muhammad was wrong — and Islam forbids that.
That’s why moral reform in Islam is impossible without rejecting Muhammad’s perfection.
📢 Ask This in Any Debate:
To any Muslim:
“If it were proven to you that Muhammad was a rapist, a child abuser, or a war criminal — would you stop following him?”
If the answer is “no,” then you’ve exposed Islamic moral relativism.
If the answer is “yes,” they’re on the brink of apostasy — because Islam makes it impossible to reject Muhammad and still remain a believer.
🔥 Final Verdict
Islam doesn’t just excuse immorality — it redefines it through the example of one man.
“What he did is moral because he did it.”
That is not ethics. That is cultic absolutism.
This is why reasoned moral critique rarely works on Muslims — not because the evidence isn’t strong, but because the ideology bypasses conscience entirely.
If anything, these discussions don’t “convert” Muslims — they wake up non-Muslims to what the theology truly permits under the mask of reverence and piety.
