How does a Muslim support his Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Benefits of the explanation of the book *Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim li-Mukhalafat Ahl al-Jahim* by Ibn Taymiyyah. May Allah reward you. You mentioned following him and supporting him (peace and blessings be upon him). These days, Muslims ask often how we can support him, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is subjected to insult and disparagement, and they speak ill of him, by our fathers and mothers (peace and blessings be upon him). What is your guidance? How does the ordinary Muslim support the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
They support him in the way Allah supported him. Allah supported him and aided him with hosts you did not see, yet you did not support him. So Allah supported him. We support him in the way Allah supported him: by defending him (peace and blessings be upon him), refuting the lies and falsehoods attributed to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and clarifying his superiority over the prophets and over all creation. We clarify this and humiliate them with it. They belittled their prophets.
As for us, we honor the prophets and praise them all, and specifically our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). They said that Jesus is the son of Allah or the third of three. The Jews
who abused Moses; then Allah cleared him of what they saidآذَوْا مُوسَىٰ فَبَرَّأَهُ اللَّهُ مِمَّا قَالُوا
[Al-Ahzab 33:69]
and they tried to kill the prophets, and they killed some of them, and they lied about some of them. "A group you lied about, and a group you killed." This is their position toward the prophets, our Prophet and others. No prophet was safe from them. So how can we hope that they will honor our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? Is this not strange?
