Abstract

One of the enemies’ reactions to the Islamic call has been negative encounters, especially insults to the sanctities and the dignity of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.), which are rooted in the enemies’ conceptual origins. The present article is intended to provide a comparative analysis of the conceptual origins of negative encounters with the Prophet (S.A.W.) in early Islam and contemporary era, with reference to the Qur'an. This article, by collecting information through library methods and descriptive-analytical processing, by extracting the conceptual origins of insults in the early Islamic era and the contemporary era, and by examining their similarities and differences, the conclusion has been made that the conflict of thought and belief with the teachings of Islam and the unfamiliarity with the personality of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) are the main conceptual origins of insults, and although the actions of the enemies in both periods had a common goal, the context of the emergence and tools of insults in the contemporary period have taken a new form. The Prophet's strategies against this type of insults, in respect to the origins, were call to monotheism and explanation, patience, declaring aversion and trust, challenging, warning the infidels, etc., which can be helpful procedures today, as well.
