Why the Prophets Were Degraded

Now, these stories that are mentioned about the anbiyāʾ of Allah (swt) — don't think that this has happened haphazardly. There was a goal and an objective of degrading the anbiyāʾ of Allah (swt). When the anbiyāʾ of Allah (swt) were degraded, and they were discredited, and they lost their credibility, then the people don't have to follow them anymore. So the Sunnah of the anbiyāʾ of Allah (swt) is destroyed. And that is the plan that the Yahūd have carried out against the anbiyāʾ of Allah (swt); and they attempted to do that with ʿĪsā, and they attempted to do that with Muhammad (peace be upon him).

These are things mentioned in a book that is accepted by the Yahūd and the Naṣārā. Even though it is the Jews who made all of these claims — because all of this which I read was in the Old Testament — the Christians aren't innocent, because they still believe in this book as theirs. They believe that the Old Testament is the word of God, and they still follow it. And this shows you how the Yahūd have been able to mislead the nation of the Naṣārā after them, by discrediting the anbiyāʾ of Allah (swt). When the anbiyāʾ of Allah (swt) are discredited, that completely throws them out of our respect, so we don't take them as role models anymore.

I mean, imagine: would you accept one of these people to be a teacher for your child? Would you accept a person with such manners and behaviour to be a teacher of your child? I mean, now we're living in America, with the present laws of the United States, which we as Muslims consider to be very liberal. With the existing laws of the United States, if these men did these things which I listed to you, they would all be in jail now. They would all be in jail. If the President of the United States, or a member of Congress, or a person in public office did such a thing — stealing the cattle of your father-in-law, or doing such things, or getting rid of your army general, killing him so that you can take over his wife — this is something that would be unacceptable, and immediately you would be thrown in jail.

If we can't trust such people to teach our children, or to lead us, or to be the president, or to be in public office, how can we trust them with our souls? How can you trust them with your souls? That's why mankind has no hope, except by following the way of the anbiyāʾ of Allah (swt) as taught in the Qur'an. That's the only credible reference to learn about the anbiyāʾ of Allah (swt). I mean, if you were a Christian or a Jew, you wouldn't want your children to read this. You, as adults, weren't comfortable with hearing this.
