30. Why do you not speak against atrocities committed against Muslims?

The Prophet is enjoined thus in the Quran:

Arise and give warning…shun uncleanness. (Quran 74:2-5)

Here ‘uncleanness’ means negative thought arising from others’ negative behaviour towards the Prophet. This injunction therefore implies that even the Prophet was required to only perform the duty of conveying the message of Islam and was enjoined by God to ignore atrocity and unpleasantness from others. God had directed him to focus solely on his work.
