Blasphemy of Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم Act, An overview of specific Eras and Acts in Pakistan

Abstract

It is a religious duty for every Muslim to have faith in and abide by the teachings
of the final Prophet, honoring him both as a Prophet and as the guiding authority
of Islamic principles. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is held in the
highest regard, and his teachings shall be upheld until the Day of Judgment.
No one can challenge the noble characteristics and attributes of the Prophet, and
any form of disrespect towards him is considered blasphemous. Being the
Prophet of Islam, he is an integral part of the foundations of Islamic law.
Muslim nations have also enshrined his position as the Prophet, guide, and
leader in their constitutions, laws, and regulations. Violating this respect is a
breach of the country's laws, and those found guilty of insulting him will face
legal consequences.
Pakistan has taken measures to ensure that no one challenges the Prophet's status
or tolerates any act of insult towards him. Various individuals have worked
towards this cause. Within this context, an assessment is being made regarding
the Act that deals with instances of blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him) during specific periods in Pakistan.
