A vast number of studies have acknowledged the existence of Islamophobia, but few have attempted to deconstruct the concept. This study deconstructs Islamophobia into its constituent elements: hatred, hostility, and racism against Islam and Muslims. The study seeks to shed light on some methods applied by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in dealing with the roots of hatred, racism, and stereotypes. This can lead members of society to practice different forms of animosity between people based on religion, race, color, etc. In this context, the study confirms the depth of the prophetic biography and its ability to provide the modern world with systematic methods in dealing with its growing problems and challenges. Based on this biography, the study proposes solutions to the matter of Islamophobia, including the need for Muslims to interact with the regional and international societies from a standpoint of collaboration and engagement. This would be for the universal benefit of all societies and humanity in general. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
