THE PERCEPTION OF THE POLYTHEISTS ON THE PROPHET AND THEIR SLANDERS AGAINST HIM

Summary/Abstract: In this study, the perception of the polytheists on the Prophet (pbuh), and their slanders against the Prophet were examined within the unity of the Qur’an and Prophetic Biography (Sirah). Based on the Qur’an, the slanders of the polytheists and their answers from the Qur’an, if any, were stated in a comparative manner. In addition to the Qur’an, the reason for their slander was tried to be determined from the sources of Sirah. It is stated that the prophet in the minds of the polytheists was an angel or a prophet supported by angels. If they are going to accept a human prophet, one of the two great famous people of Mecca and Taif were more worthy of prophethood or they claim that if there will be a human prophet like Muhammad, then he must have gardens and wealth. In addition, the polytheists have irrational criteria for prophethood such as if a person was prophet then he should not eat, should not drink and should not go to the bazaars. The polytheists since they did not accept the prophethood of Muhammad, they slandered against him in addition to these requests. In this study, it was emphasized that the polytheists attributed some adjectives to the Prophet such as Ibn Abi Kabsha and Sabii which are not mentioned in the Qur’an, and also some of slanders against him in the Qur'an, such as the mecnun, the soothsayer, the liar and the muallem. The basis of these accusations were politheists’ hope to that people were not influenced by the Prophet and his message and, the fear of the notable polytheists to loose their status quo. However, it is clearly seen that the Prophet’s personality did not fit these attributes, and it is understood by the confessions of notable polytheists such as Walid b Mughira and Abu Jahl.
