Christians who defended and Died for Prophet Muhammad and his Family
The idea for the second book "Christians who defended and Died for Prophet Muhammad and his Family” came while compiling the first book, because in researching Islamic history you find in many cases that some of the Christian's who lived during the time of the Holy Prophet (saww), and also during the times of the 12 imam's from his Holy household (as), stood up for them when they were being oppressed. It makes you wonder, why did these people stand up to defend the Prophet and his family when they belonged to a different religion? The Prophet and his family's character were so impressive to people that even the idol worshippers, who hated him, could not come up with anything bad to say about his morals. The Prophet's title, even before the Prophet hood, was Al-Ameen (the trustworthy) and As-Saadiq (the truthful). These Holy personalities shined their light on everyone they came in contact with. It was amazing for people to witness such sublime morality in a human being. Also during their times they treated everyone equitably and just. The Christian's felt safe under the Prophet and Imam Ali's rule and they were taken care of by them. The Ahl ul Bayt (The Prophet and his family) felt it their duty to help their fellow human being if they were able to do so. When the Christians witnessed the Prophet's family being oppressed some of the monks acknowledged the right of their Imamate (divine leadership) and they stood up for justice and died defending them.
Most Christians in the west think that all the Muslims want to cause harm to the Christians and they think that we do not believe in Jesus Christ (as), so through this work these misunderstandings can be cleared up. Also, most books dealing with Christianity and Islam are always trying to prove each other wrong and show the flaws in the other side. This book was written with a different approach. The goal of this book was to show the similarities that we as Muslims share with the Christians, the Quranic verses that speak highly of some Christians and the Prophet’s (saww) and his family’s (as) interaction with the Christians of their time and how we are waiting on our Savior Imam Mahdi (atf) similar to the way the Christians are waiting on Jesus (as).
