The Persecution of Prophets and Scholars in Islamic History

Throughout Islamic history, prophets and scholars have faced persecution for conveying truths that people did not want to hear. This persecution often involved labeling them as liars, humiliating them, torturing them, or even causing their deaths. While there are no more prophets after Muhammad, scholars are deemed as the ambassadors of the prophets, conveying the teachings of the prophet and the Quran. However, even these scholars face mistreatment, with many scholars being falsely accused, jailed, beaten, tortured, or killed. Notably, Imam Abu Hanifa is highlighted as one of the most lied about figures in Islamic history. The treatment of scholars mirrors the historical persecution faced by prophets, with governments often silencing scholars who spoke truths against their interests. This mistreatment leads to scholars being insulted subtly yet persistently, resulting in their reputations being tarnished. The injustice done to scholars is reminiscent of the past mistreatment towards prophets, where those speaking the truth were silenced and eliminated by those in power.
