Members of the public have expressed extreme anger over packs of dates with the Prophet’s name on them being sold in the Kingdom.
They said the marketing company was using the name of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to encourage customers to buy the date.
They said it was abominable to exploit people’s love for the Prophet as a marketing ploy. Those who claim to love the Prophet should follow in his footsteps, instead of printing his name on product labels, they argued.
Anger has been boiling over the issue in the social media as well, with many saying that the company that used the Prophet’s name to market its products has no right to remind people of the Prophet’s traditions.
