Muhammad: A Father to Follow — or a Warning to the World?
On Father’s Day, we celebrate men who protect, sacrifice, and love without condition. But when we turn to the life of Islam’s prophet Muhammad, do we find those traits… or do we find something else entirely?
In this video, hatun take a hard look at Muhammad’s example as a father figure — through Islam’s own sources. From his marriage to a child, to abandoning adoption, to condemning his own parents — i ask: Is this the man to follow?
This Father’s Day, don’t settle for a broken example. Come to the Father who never fails.
