Muhammad
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ figures in Infrared discourse through Haz Al-Din's Communism is Islam argument — as the model of direct guidance against liberal "ethics."
From the streams
- On guidance vs. ethics (FBI AFTER ME! | IRAN CEASEFIRE stream): "When Prophet Muhammad attempted to guide people on how to live, that was not some made-up second-hand concept [called ethics]... He guided people directly through inspiration based on his virtues, his actions, him as a role model." — ethics as a compartment of the mental division of labor is a liberal abstraction; the Prophet is a total example (sunna), not a theory.
- On revelation and succession (INFRAWOKE stream): "The original revelation of Islam associated with the Prophet Muhammad was revealed in one generation. Then following this generation you had the immediate fitna — the split between Shia and Sunni — where the betrayal of the prophet's family called into question... the ability to properly transmit the word of the prophet across generations." The problem of generational transmission — how a revolution survives its founder — is the same problem communism faces after Lenin; Haz's Shi'a-leaning reading makes authority and lineage (Revolutionary Dynasty) constitutive, optional never.
