Abstract
this research sheds light on the practices of tyrants who targeted the prophets and those who followed them, with the aim of intimidating them and stopping their reformist calls, as the research consists of four main demands in which we discussed the most important images of moral terrorist behaviors, with a comparison of that to what is happening in our current era, as the first demand came: defining the main concepts included in the research, such as moral images and terrorist behavior, as for the second demand: it came about the threat of imprisonment, as this demand reviews how tyrants threatened the prophets (peace be upon them) with imprisonment to frighten them and deter them from performing their message, as prison has become a tool for psychological intimidation And pressure on preachers and righteous people, and in comparison with contemporary reality, we find that this image still exists, as some regimes use prison as a means to intimidate reformers and people of free opinion, and as for the third requirement: It was about the threat of stoning, this requirement deals with the threat of stoning as one of the forms of moral terrorism practiced by tyrants against the prophets, peace be upon them, especially when the prophets and righteous people refuse to respond to the demands of falsehood. As for the fourth requirement: It was about the threat of expulsion from the homeland.
