[edit]Inanimate Objects Awaken From Their Slumber

[edit]Stone stole my Clothes

Abu Huraira reported that Moses was a modest person. He was never seen naked and Banu Isra'iI said: (He was afraid to expose his private part) because he had been suffering from scrotal hernia. He (one day) took bath in water and placed his garments upon a stone. The stone began to move on quickly. He followed that and struck it with the help of a stone (saying): O stone, my garment; O stone, my garments, O stone.....

[edit]A Crying Tree

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: The Prophet used to stand by a tree or a date-palm on Friday. Then an Ansari woman or man said. "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we make a pulpit for you?" He replied, "If you wish." So they made a pulpit for him and when it was Friday, he proceeded towards the pulpit (for delivering the sermon). The date-palm cried like a child! The Prophet descended (the pulpit) and embraced it while it continued moaning like a child being quieted. The Prophet said, "It was crying for (missing) what it used to hear of religious knowledge given near to it."

[edit]Food glorifies Allah while being eaten

Narrated 'Abdullah: We used to consider miracles as Allah's Blessings, but you people consider them to be a warning. Once we were with Allah's Apostle on a journey, and we ran short of water. He said, "Bring the water remaining with you." The people brought a utensil containing a little water. He placed his hand in it and said, "Come to the blessed water, and the Blessing is from Allah." I saw the water flowing from among the fingers of Allah's Apostle , and no doubt, we heard the meal glorifying Allah, when it was being eaten (by him).

[edit]Trees as Informers

Narrated ‘Abdur-Rahman: "I asked Masruq, ‘Who informed the Prophet about the Jinns at the night when they heard the Qur'an?’ He said, ‘Your father ‘Abdullah informed me that a tree informed the Prophet about them.’"

The man again (came) and said, 'I made him drink (honey) but that made him worse.' The Prophet said, 'Allah has said the Truth, and the abdomen of your brother has told a lie."

[edit]One Sneeze, Two Sneeze, Three Sneeze, Four

Malik related to me from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr from his father that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If a man sneezes, invoke a blessing on him. Then if he sneezes, invoke a blessing on him. Then if he sneezes, invoke a blessing on him. Then if he sneezes, say, 'You have a cold'." Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr said, "I don't know whether it was after the third or fourth."

[edit]Allah Likes Sneezing but Hates Yawning

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Allah likes sneezing and dislikes yawning, so if someone sneezes and then praises Allah, then it is obligatory on every Muslim who heard him, to say: May Allah be merciful to you (Yar-hamuka-l-lah). But as regards yawning, it is from satan, so one must try one's best to stop it, if one says 'Ha' when yawning, satan will laugh at him."

[edit]Allah, rain there, not here!

Summary: People's livestock were dying because of lack of water. On request, Muhammad prayed to Allah who instantly brought so much rain that that caused livestock to die due to excess of water. Then Muhammad told Allah to rain around them, not on them and the rain stopped.

Narrated Sharik: Anas bin Malik said, "A person entered the Mosque on a Friday through the gate facing the Daril-Qada' and Allah's Apostle was standing delivering the Khutba (sermon). The man stood in front of Allah's Apostle and said, 'O Allah's Apostle, livestock are dying and the roads are cut off; please pray to Allah for rain.' So Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) raised both his hands and said, 'O Allah! Bless us with rain. O Allah! Bless us with rain. O Allah! Bless us with rain!" Anas added, "By Allah, there were no clouds in the sky and there was no house or building between us and the mountain of Silas'. Then a big cloud like a shield appeared from behind it (i.e. Silas Mountain) and when it came in the middle of the sky, it spread and then rained. By Allah! We could not see the sun for a week. The next Friday, a person entered through the same gate and Allah's Apostle was delivering the Friday Khutba and the man stood in front of him and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! The livestock are dying and the roads are cut off; Please pray to Allah to withhold rain.' " Anas added, "Allah's Apostle raised both his hands and said, 'O Allah! Round about us and not on us. O Allah!' On the plateaus, on the mountains, on the hills, in the valleys and on the places where trees grow.' " Anas added, "The rain stopped and we came out, walking in the sun." Sharik asked Anas whether it was the same person who had asked for rain the previous Friday. Anas replied that he did not know. 

[edit]Fight Polytheists by Trimming Moustache

Ibn Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be opon him) said: Act against the polytheists, trim closely the moustache and grow beard.

[edit]Allah loves sneezes (aacchoo!)

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Allah loves sneezing but dislikes yawning; so if anyone of you sneezes and then praises Allah, every Muslim who hears him (praising Allah) has to say Tashmit to him. But as regards yawning, it is from Satan, so if one of you yawns, he should try his best to stop it, for when anyone of you yawns, Satan laughs at him."

[edit]3x Assalaamu ‘alaykum, may I enter?

(Abu ‘Eesa said: a saheeh hasan hadeeth, 2614) Abu Sa’eed said: Abu Moosa sought permission to enter upon ‘Umar. He said,
Assalaamu ‘alaykum, may I enter? ‘Umar said, That was once, then he kept silent for a while. Abu Moosa again said,
Assalaamu ‘alaykum, may I enter? ‘Umar said, That was twice, then he kept silent for a while. Abu Moosa again said,
Assalaamu ‘alaykum, may I enter? ‘Umar said, That was three times. Then Abu Moosa went away. ‘Umar asked the doorkeeper, What happened? The doorkeeper said, He went away. ‘Umar said, bring him back. When he came back, ‘Umar said, What is this that you have done? Abu Moosa said, It is the Sunnah. ‘Umar said: is it? Then he said, I did not know this…

[edit]Interpretation of Dreams

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: Allah's Apostle said, "While I was sleeping I saw (in a dream) some people wearing shirts of which some were reaching up to the breasts only while others were even shorter than that. Umar bin Al-Khattab was shown wearing a shirt that he was dragging." The people asked, "How did you interpret it? (What is its interpretation) O Allah's Apostle?" He (the Prophet ) replied, "It is the Religion."

[edit]Fever comes from heat of Hell

The Prophet said, "Fever is from the heat of Hell, so abate fever with water."

[edit]Allah Takes Away Prophet's Knowledge

Narrated 'Abdullah: The Prophet said, "Abusing a Muslim is Fusuq (an evil doing) and killing him is Kufr (disbelief)." Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit: "Allah's Apostle went out to inform the people about the (date of the) night of decree (Al-Qadr) but there happened a quarrel between two Muslim men. The Prophet said, "I came out to inform you about (the date of) the night of Al-Qadr, but as so and so and so and so quarrelled, its knowledge was taken away (I forgot it) and maybe it was better for you. Now look for it in the 7th, the 9th and the 5th (of the last 10 nights of the month of Ramadan)."

[edit]Pus Better than Poetry

Abu Sa`id Khudri reported: We were going with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). As we reached the place (known as) Arj there met (us) a poet who had been reciting poetry. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Catch the satan or detain the satan, for filling the belly of a man with pus is better than stuffing his brain with poetry.

[edit]Spit on Left for Protection Against Bad Dreams

Narrated Abu Qatada: The Prophet said, "A good dream that comes true is from Allah, and a bad dream is from Satan, so if anyone of you sees a bad dream, he should seek refuge with Allah from Satan and should spit on the left, for the bad dream will not harm him."

[edit]Water mixed with Dead Dogs still clean

Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri: The people asked the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him): Can we perform ablution out of the well of Buda'ah, which is a well into which menstrual clothes, dead dogs and stinking things were thrown? He replied: Water is pure and is not defiled by anything.

Narrated Abu Huraira: "A bedouin came to Allah's Apostle and said, "My wife has delivered a black child." The Prophet said to him, "Have you camels?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet said, "What color are they?" He replied, "They are red." The Prophet further asked, "Are any of them gray in color?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet asked him, "Whence did that grayness come?" He said, "I think it descended from the camel's ancestors." Then the Prophet said (to him), "Therefore, this child of yours has most probably inherited the color from his ancestors."

[edit]Death be upon you, too

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "When the Jews greet you, they usually say, 'As-Samu 'alaikum (Death be on you),' so you should say (in reply to them), 'Wa'alaikum (And on you)." 

[edit]Prophetic Buttocks

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established till the buttocks of the women of the tribe of Daus move while going round Dhi-al-Khalasa." Dhi-al-Khalasa was the idol of the Daus tribe which they used to worship in the Pre Islamic Period of ignorance.

When he finished, I walked with him and asked, "What about the bone and the animal dung?" He said, "They are of the food of Jinns. The delegate of Jinns of (the city of) Nasibin came to me--and how nice those Jinns were--and asked me for the remains of the human food. I invoked Allah for them that they would never pass by a bone or animal dung but find food on them."

[edit]Cover all your bases

Narrated 'Amr bin Salama:

We were at a place which was a thoroughfare for the people, and the caravans used to pass by us and we would ask them, "What is wrong with the people? What is wrong with the people? Who is that man?. They would say, "That man claims that Allah has sent him (as an Apostle), that he has been divinely inspired, that Allah has revealed to him such-and-such." I used to memorize that (Divine) Talk, and feel as if it was inculcated in my chest (i.e. mind) And the 'Arabs (other than Quraish) delayed their conversion to Islam till the Conquest (of Mecca).

They used to say." "Leave him (i.e. Muhammad) and his people Quraish: if he overpowers them then he is a true Prophet. So, when Mecca was conquered, then every tribe rushed to embrace Islam, and my father hurried to embrace Islam before (the other members of) my tribe. When my father returned (from the Prophet) to his tribe, he said, "By Allah, I have come to you from the Prophet for sure!" The Prophet afterwards said to them, 'Offer such-and-such prayer at such-and-such time, and when the time for the prayer becomes due, then one of you should pronounce the Adhan (for the prayer), and let the one amongst you who knows Qur'an most should, lead the prayer."

So they looked for such a person and found none who knew more Qur'an than I because of the Quranic material which I used to learn from the caravans. They therefore made me their Imam ((to lead the prayer) and at that time I was a boy of six or seven years, wearing a Burda (i.e. a black square garment) proved to be very short for me (and my body became partly naked). A lady from the tribe said, "Won't you cover the anus of your reciter for us?" So they bought (a piece of cloth) and made a shirt for me. I had never been so happy with anything before as I was with that shirt.
Narrated Sahl bin Sad
The people used to offer the prayer with the Prophet with their waist-sheets tied round their necks because of the shortness of the sheets and the women were ordered not to lift their heads till the men had sat straight. 

[edit]Devils on a leash

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "When the month of Ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of the (Hell) Fire are closed, and the devils are chained."

[edit]Muhammad: "Sheep owners are humble, horse and camel owners are arrogant"

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The main source of disbelief is in the east. Pride and arrogance are characteristics of the owners of horses and camels, and those bedouins who are busy with their camels and pay no attention to Religion; while modesty and gentleness are the characteristics of the owners of sheep."

[edit]Allah's advice to his prophets

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Once while a prophet amongst the prophets was taking a rest underneath a tree, an ant bit him. He, therefore, ordered that his luggage be taken away from underneath that tree and then ordered that the dwelling place of the ants should be set on fire. Allah sent him a revelation:-- "Wouldn't it have been sufficient to burn a single ant?" (that bit you)

[edit]Prostitutes can stay out of Hell by helping a thirsty dog

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "A prostitute was forgiven by Allah, because, passing by a panting dog near a well and seeing that the dog was about to die of thirst, she took off her shoe, and tying it with her head-cover she drew out some water for it. So, Allah forgave her because of that."

[edit]Bodyguard Job: Females need not apply

Narrated Abu Musa: Thy Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "A time will come upon the people when a person will wander about with gold as Zakat and will not find anybody to accept it, and one man will be seen followed by forty women to be their guardian because of scarcity of men and great number of women".

[edit]Looking at genitals or talking during intercourse may cause disabilities for child

Narrated by Abi Hurairah that the prophet PBUH said: If one of you got engaged in intercourse, they shouldn't look at the genital for that inherits blindness, and not talk too much for that inherits aphonia (lack of the ability to talk).
Hadith translated by FFI forum member

[edit]Say "Allah willing" during intercourse to give birth to Islamic militants

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Once Solomon, son of David said, '(By Allah) Tonight I will have sexual intercourse with one hundred (or ninety-nine) women each of whom will give birth to a knight who will fight in Allah's Cause.' On that a (i.e. if Allah wills) but he did not say, Allah willing.' Therefore only one of those women conceived and gave birth to a half-man. By Him in Whose Hands Muhammad's life is, if he had said, "Allah willing', (he would have begotten sons) all of whom would have been knights striving in Allah's Cause."

[edit]Dirty Teeth Can Invalidate a Fast

Swallowing bits of food that may be left between the teeth is regarded as eating, so it invalidates

the fast...

Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in al-Mughni, 3/260:

If a person has food between his teeth, one of the following two scenarios must apply:

1 – It is a small amount that he cannot spit out, so he swallows it. This does not invalidate his fast, because it cannot be avoided. It is like saliva. Ibn al-Mundhir said: The scholars are unanimously agreed on that.

2 – It is a large amount and he can spit it out. If he spits it out there is no sin on him, but if he swallows it deliberately, his fast is invalidated according to the majority of scholars, because he has swallowed food that he could have spat out willingly when he is mindful of his fast. So this breaks the fast just as if he deliberately started eating. End quote.

[edit]Holy Ride on Smelly Donkey Causes Massive Shoe Fight and Obvious Qur'an Revelation

Narrated Anas: It was said to the Prophet "Would that you see Abdullah bin Ubai." So, the Prophet went to him, riding a donkey, and the Muslims accompanied him, walking on salty barren land. When the Prophet reached 'Abdullah bin Ubai, the latter said, "Keep away from me! By Allah, the bad smell of your donkey has harmed me." On that an Ansari man said (to 'Abdullah), "By Allah! The smell of the donkey of Allah's Apostle is better than your smell." On that a man from 'Abdullah's tribe got angry for 'Abdullah's sake, and the two men abused each other which caused the friends of the two men to get angry, and the two groups started fighting with sticks, shoes and hands. We were informed that the following Divine Verse was revealed (in this concern):-- "And if two groups of Believers fall to fighting then, make peace between them. (Qur'an 49:9)"

[edit]"This Muhammad of yours is a dwarf and fat"

Narrated AbuBarzah:

AbdusSalam ibn AbuHazim AbuTalut said: I saw AbuBarzah who came to visit Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad. Then a man named Muslim who was there in the company mentioned it to me.

When Ubaydullah saw him, he said: This Muhammad of yours is a dwarf and fat. The old man (i.e. AbuBarzah) understood it.

So he said: I did not think that I should remain among people who would make me feel ashamed of the company of Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Thereupon Ubaydullah said: The company of Muhammad (peace be upon him) is a honour for you, not a disgrace. He added: I called for you to ask about the reservoir. Did you hear the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) mentioning anything about it? AbuBarzah said: Yes, not once, twice, thrice, four times or five times. If anyone believes it, may Allah not supply him with water from it. He then went away angrily.

The fact that the old man AbuBarzah 'understood it' implies that Ubaydullah's description of Muhammad as a fat dwarf was accurate.

[edit]Watermelons and Cucumbers

"If a man makes a hole in a watermelon, or a piece of dough, or a leather skin, or a statue, and has sex with it, then this is the same as what we have said about other types of masturbation [i.e., that it is halaal in the same circumstances given before, such as being on a journey]. In fact, it is easier than masturbating with one's hand".
"If a woman does not have a husband, and her lust becomes strong, then some of our scholars say: It is permissible for the woman to take an akranbij, which is a piece of leather worked until it becomes shaped like a penis, and insert it in herself. She may also use a cucumber".
Bada'i al-Fuwa'id of Ibn Qayyim (Islamic scholar), page 129

A Muslim Shia website notes: "Maybe this is another reason why 'Umar the Khalifa never went on jihad: somebody had to stay behind and organize the cucumber distribution."

[edit]Companions of Muhammad masturbated during Jihad

"If a man is torn between continued desire or releasing it, and if this man does not have a wife or he has a slave-girl but he does not marry, then if a man is overwhelmed by desire, and he fears that he will suffer because of this (someone like a prisoner, or a traveller, or a pauper), then it is permissible for him to masturbate, and Ahmad (ibn Hanbal) is explicit on this. Furthermore, it is narrated that the Companions of the Prophet (s) used to masturbate while they were on military expeditions or travelling".
Bada'i al-Fuwa'id of Ibn Qayyim (Islamic scholar), page 129

[edit]Don't flash Allah

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet had forbidden: (A) the Mulamasa and Munabadha (bargains), (B) the offering of two prayers, one after the morning compulsory prayer till the sun rises, and the others, after the 'Asr prayer till the sun sets (C) He also forbade that one should sit wearing one garment, nothing of which covers his private parts (D) and prevent them from exposure to the sky; (E) he also forbade Ishtimal-as-Samma'.

[edit]Doodling is a sin!

The scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas said:

Whatever is images of animate beings such as insects and other living beings is not permissible, even if it is drawn on a blackboard or on paper, and even if the purpose of it is to help in teaching, because it is not essential and because of the general meaning of the evidence concerning that. (Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 1/685)

What is prohibited is making images of animate beings, whether that is engraving or painting on walls or fabric or paper or woven cloth, and whether it is done with a feather or a pen or other equipment, whether the thing is drawn as it is or whether some imaginary element is introduced, so it is made smaller or larger or more beautiful or more ugly, or it is drawn as a stick figure. (Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 1/696)

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

One of the most serious of evils is making images of animate beings and keeping them and using them. There is no difference between that which is three dimensional and that which is on paper, whether it is produced by machines or otherwise. This meaning was mentioned by al-Nawawi in Sharh Saheeh Muslim, and he mentioned that it is the view of the four imams. The hadeeths which emphatically warned against that are well known. (Fataawa Rasaa’il Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem, 13/173)

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:

Making images of animate beings, whether they are human or otherwise, is undoubtedly haraam and is a major sin, because it is proven that the one who does that is cursed by the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). This is clear, whether they are three-dimensional or drawn by hand. (Majmoo’ Fataawa wa Rasaa’il Ibn ‘Uthaymeen 2/288)

[edit]Animals and Living Things

[edit]Muttaqi (god-fearing) Monkeys

See a video of a cleric talking about this event here.

Narrated 'Amr bin Maimun: During the pre-lslamic period of ignorance I saw a she-monkey surrounded by a number of monkeys. They were all stoning it, because it had committed illegal sexual intercourse. I too, stoned it along with them.
According to `Amr b. Maymûn : I was in Yemen. Amongst the female goats of my people, I saw that at a heightened place, a male monkey brought along a female monkey and slept while keeping her hand beneath his head. During this time, a young monkey came and signaled the female monkey. She softly removed her hand from beneath the male monkey's head and went with the young monkey. She fornicated with him and I was watching it. After that, the female monkey returned and was softly trying to put her hand back under the male monkey's head that he woke up bewildered and smelled her and then screamed. 

All the monkeys gathered thereafter. He would point towards her and scream constantly (i.e. she has committed adultery). At last the other monkeys went towards the right left and brought along that young monkey whom I recognized. They dug a hole for this young monkey and the female one and stoned them to death. So I saw monkeys stoning to death too besides the human race.
Taiseer-ul-Baari, volume 2, Page 626

This is consistent with the Qur'an in its claim that Jews (who at one time practiced stoning) were turned into apes:

"And you know well the story of those among you who broke Sabbath. We said to them: "Be apes—despised and hated by all. Thus We made their end a warning to the people of their time and succeeding generation, and an admonition for God-fearing people."

[edit]Unpaid Debt to turn into Talking Snake on Judgement Day

The Prophet added, "By Allah, that snake will keep on following him until he stretches out his hand and let the snake swallow it." Allah's Apostle added, "If the owner of camels does not pay their Zakat, then, on the Day of Resurrection those camels will come to him and will strike his face with their hooves."

[edit]Monkeys and Pigs are Humans who once played Music

Narrated Abu 'Amir or Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari: that he heard the Prophet saying, "From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful. And there will be some people who will stay near the side of a mountain and in the evening their shepherd will come to them with their sheep and ask them for something, but they will say to him, 'Return to us tomorrow.' Allah will destroy them during the night and will let the mountain fall on them, and He will transform the rest of them into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Resurrection."

The Prophet said, "I believe this, and Abu Bakr and 'Umar too, believe it, although neither of them was present there. While a person was amongst his sheep, a wolf attacked and took one of the sheep. The man chased the wolf till he saved it from the wolf, where upon the wolf said, 'You have saved it from me; but who will guard it on the day of the wild beasts when there will be no shepherd to guard them except me (because of riots and afflictions)? ' " The people said surprisingly, "Glorified be Allah! A wolf speaks!" The Prophet said, "But I believe this, and Abu Bakr and 'Umar too, believe this, although neither of them was present there."

Narrated Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani
A man asked the Prophet about the picking up of a "Luqata" (fallen lost thing). The Prophet replied, "Recognize and remember its tying material and its container, and make public announcement (about it) for one year, then utilize it but give it to its owner if he comes." Then the person asked about the lost camel. On that, the Prophet got angry and his cheeks or his Face became red and he said, "You have no concern with it as it has its water container, and its feet and it will reach water, and eat (the leaves) of trees till its owner finds it." The man then asked about the lost sheep. The Prophet replied, "It is either for you, for your brother (another person) or for the wolf."

[edit]Israelites Turned Into Rats

The Prophet said, "A group of Israelites were lost. Nobody knows what they did. But I do not see them except that they were cursed and changed into rats, for if you put the milk of a she-camel in front of a rat, it will not drink it, but if the milk of a sheep is put in front of it, it will drink it." I told this to Ka'b who asked me, "Did you hear it from the Prophet ?" I said, "Yes." Ka'b asked me the same question several times.; I said to Ka'b. "Do I read the Torah?

Bestow on me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me.' Then Allah made him (Satan) return with his head down (humiliated)."

Narrated Abu Huraira

Allah's Apostle deputed me to keep Sadaqat (al-Fitr) of Ramadan. A comer came and started taking handfuls of the foodstuff (of the Sadaqa) (stealthily). I took hold of him and said, "By Allah, I will take you to Allah's Apostle ." He said, "I am needy and have many dependents, and I am in great need." I released him, and in the morning Allah's Apostle asked me, "What did your prisoner do yesterday?" I said, "O Allah's Apostle! The person complained of being needy and of having many dependents, so, I pitied him and let him go." Allah's Apostle said, "Indeed, he told you a lie and he will be coming again." I believed that he would show up again as Allah's Apostle had told me that he would return. So, I waited for him watchfully. When he (showed up and) started stealing handfuls of foodstuff, I caught hold of him again and said, "I will definitely take you to Allah's Apostle. He said, "Leave me, for I am very needy and have many dependents. I promise I will not come back again." I pitied him and let him go.

In the morning Allah's Apostle asked me, "What did your prisoner do." I replied, "O Allah's Apostle! He complained of his great need and of too many dependents, so I took pity on him and set him free." Allah's Apostle said, "Verily, he told you a lie and he will return." I waited for him attentively for the third time, and when he (came and) started stealing handfuls of the foodstuff, I caught hold of him and said, "I will surely take you to Allah's Apostle as it is the third time you promise not to return, yet you break your promise and come." He said, "(Forgive me and) I will teach you some words with which Allah will benefit you." I asked, "What are they?" He replied, "Whenever you go to bed, recite "Ayat-al-Kursi"-- 'Allahu la ilaha illa huwa-l-Haiy-ul Qaiyum' till you finish the whole verse. (If you do so), Allah will appoint a guard for you who will stay with you and no satan will come near you till morning. " So, I released him. In the morning, Allah's Apostle asked, "What did your prisoner do yesterday?" I replied, "He claimed that he would teach me some words by which Allah will benefit me, so I let him go." Allah's Apostle asked, "What are they?" I replied, "He said to me, 'Whenever you go to bed, recite Ayat-al-Kursi from the beginning to the end ---- Allahu la ilaha illa huwa-lHaiy-ul-Qaiyum----.' He further said to me, '(If you do so), Allah will appoint a guard for you who will stay with you, and no satan will come near you till morning.' (Abu Huraira or another sub-narrator) added that they (the companions) were very keen to do good deeds. The Prophet said, "He really spoke the truth, although he is an absolute liar. Do you know whom you were talking to, these three nights, O Abu Huraira?" Abu Huraira said, "No." He said, "It was Satan."

[edit]Satan Farts to the Sound of the Adhan

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "When the Adhan is pronounced Satan takes to his heels and passes wind with noise during his flight in order not to hear the Adhan. When the Adhan is completed he comes back and again takes to his heels when the Iqama is pronounced and after its completion he returns again till he whispers into the heart of the person (to divert his attention from his prayer) and makes him remember things which he does not recall to his mind before the prayer and that causes him to forget how much he has prayed."

Sunan Ibn Maja, Zuhd (Book of Abstinence) 39
"Each time we sleep with a Houri we find her virgin. Besides, the penis of the Elected never softens. The erection is eternal; the sensation that you feel each time you make love is utterly delicious and out of this world and were you to experience it in this world you would faint. Each chosen one [i.e. Muslim] will marry seventy [sic] houris, besides the women he married on earth, and all will have appetizing vaginas."

Narrated Anas bin Malik: We were in the company of the Prophet while returning from 'Usfan, and Allah's Apostle was riding his she−camel keeping Safiya bint Huyay riding behind him. His she−camel slipped and both of them fell down. Abu Talha jumped from his camel and said, "O Allah's Apostle! May Allah sacrifice me for you." The Prophet said, "Take care of the lady." So, Abu Talha covered his face with a garment and went to Safiya and covered her with it, and then he set right the condition of their shecamel so that both of them rode, and we were encircling Allah's Apostle like a cover. When we approached Medina, the Prophet said, "We are returning with repentance and worshipping and praising our Lord." He kept on saying this till he entered Medina.

Indeed, one of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine while the other used to go about with calumnies (to make enmiy between friends).

Taking out the Trash: A Response to ones obsession with Animal Sex.

 

By Sami Zaatari & Umar

 

Assalamu Alaikum Wahrahmatullah Wabarakatuh

 

 

 

Bismillah Ir Rahmanir Raheem.... Praise be to Allah, who has sent his Apostle, the Best from among all Creation, Prophet Muhammad RasoolAllah Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam with Guidance and the Religion of Truth! The Muslims have always been under attack by the enemies of Islam. The Pagans of Makkah, the Christian Crusaders, and the Orientalists of the last century are just examples of such. Yet with all of their arguments, and all of their debates with Muslim scholars, there has risen one, who glad fully and boastfully names himself "Christian_prince". Why does this individual decide to call himself that is indeed beyond us, because neither does he represent the good Christians, nor does he have the manners of a ?Prince'.  Worst enough; his arguments are even being used by famous missionaries and anti-Islamists themselves, because they actually believe him! Not only does this individual rewrite Islamic history for himself, but he invents new things which are totally contrary to Islamic teachings, and represents them as part of Islamic beliefs and doctrine! One of these arguments is his alleged claim that Islam allows sexual intercourse with animals, even though the Qur'an clearly shows that one can only have intercourse with the opposite sex (for example, Sura 7 Ayat 81). Allah SWT also says clearly:    

 

"Of all the creatures in the world, will ye approach males,

"And leave those whom God has created for you to be your mates? Nay, ye are a people transgressing (all limits)!" (Sura 26 Ayat 165-166)

 

And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect. (Sura 30 Ayat 21)

 

(He is) the Creator of the heavens and the earth: He has made for you pairs from among yourselves, and pairs among cattle: by this means does He multiply you: there is nothing whatever like unto Him, and He is the One that hears and sees (all things). (Sura 42 Ayat 11)

 

In fact let us even quote Ibn Kathir's tafsir on one of the above verses (42,11). Ibn Kathir writes:

 

(The Creator of the heavens and the earth.) means, the Maker of them both and everything in between.

[ÌóÚóáó áóßõãú ãøöäú ÃóäÝõÓößõãú ÃóÒúæóÇÌðÇ]

(He has made for you mates from yourselves,) means, of your own kind. As a blessing and a favor from Him, He has made your kind male and female.

[æóãöäó ÇáÇøñäúÚóÜãö ÃóÒúæÌÇð]

 

So as you can see Allah made man and women for each other, not man for animal and animal for man to indulge in sexual intercourse. All other tafsirs say the same thing for these verses, which is that Allah created mates from ourselves meaning women with whom we marry and have sexual intercourse with.

 

Now let us see Christian prince's supposed proof that Islam allows animal sex.

 

 

He Writes:

 

http://www.investigateislam.com/ebooks1.htm

 

Mohmad teaching Muslims how to have sex with animals and dead animals , women young girls , boys and all what Mohmad do care about is how to wash before you go to pray after a man have sex with or woman with dead animal

 

this is the hadith as its from SAUDIA ARABIA GOV ISLAMIC SITE in Arabic

http://hadith.al-islam.com/Display/Display.asp?Doc=1&ID=75883&SearchText=ÌåÏåÇ&SearchType=exact&Scope=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8&Offset=0&SearchLevel=Allword

the hadith translation to English

 

Commentary of Imam Al-Nawawi on the Hadith

The saying of the prophet - peace be upon him- ?When he site  between a her fours legs!) mostly its home animal (shu'biha Al-arba) and  intercourse her then fatigues her'

 In another narration the word ?Ashu'biha' is used. The scholars have disagreed about the intended meaning of ?shu'biha Al-arba' (the fours) for some said that it means the arms and the legs, while others have said that it refers to the legs and thighs, and other said it means the legs and the edge of the pubic area. Al-Qadi Ayad chose the meaning of the four areas surrounding the vagina. The word (Shu'b) means areas, its singular form being (Shu'bah). As for those who say (Ashba'iha) that is the plural of the word (Shu'b).

The word Aj-hada-ha (fatigue her) means to plow her, which was also stated by Al-Khatabi. Others have said it means to make her reach exhaustion as in the phrase ?she made him toil and labor till he was exhausted'. Al-Qadi Ayad - may Allah rest his soul- said ?Primarily, the word (Jahada'ha) means that the man exerted his effort working in a woman, where the word (Juh'd) means energy and refers to motion by describing the type of work. This is similar to his (the prophet) saying ?he who plowed her' meaning he who penetrated her by his motion. Otherwise, what other fatigue could a man experience because of her, and Allah knows best.

 The meaning of the hadith is that the necessity to wash is not limited to when semen is ejaculated, rater it is when the penile head (Hash-fa, lit. "the head of the male member," i.e. head of the penis) penetrates the vagina, then it is necessary for the man and the woman to wash. There is no disagreement on this today, even though there was disagreement on this by some of the early companions and others later. However, an agreement was later reached and this is what we have shown and presented previously.

 Our companions have said that if the penile head has penetrated A WOMAN'S ANUS, or A MAN'S ANUS, or AN ANIMAL'S VAGINA or ITS ANUS then it is necessary to wash whether the one being penetrated is alive OR DEAD, YOUNG OR OLD, whether it was done intentionally or absentmindedly, whether it was done willfully or forcefully. This also applies if the woman places the male member inside her while the man is asleep, whether the penis is erect or not, whether the penis is circumcised or uncircumcised. All these situations require that the person committing the act and the one the act is committed on must wash themselves, unless the person committing the act or the person the act is committed on is a young male or female. In that case it cannot be said that the person must wash, for they do not have the responsibility, rather it is said that this person is in a state of impurity. If that person can discern (the sexual act) then his guardian can command him to wash just as he commands him to perform the ablution washing for prayers. For if he prays without washing, his prayer has not been performed correctly; likewise if he doesn't wash after he reaches puberty he must be forced to wash. If he washed as a youth and then reaches puberty, then he does not have to repeat the washing.

 Our companions have said that intercourse occurs when a healthy male's penile head completely penetrates (an orifice), as has been unanimously agreed. Thus, when the penile head has completely disappeared (inside the orifice), then all the regulations concerning washing apply. It is unanimously agreed that it is not necessary that the entire penile shaft penetrate to apply the regulations of washing. If part of the penile head penetrates, then the regulations of washing are not imposed as is agreed, except by an odd few of our companions who said that even in this case all the regulations of washing apply. However, this opinion is wrong, rejected and abandoned.  If the male member was severed and what remained was less than the length of the penile head, then none of the washing regulations apply. If the part remaining was equal in length to the penile head length then that part must completely penetrate for the regulation of washing to apply. If the part remaining was greater in length to the penile head length then there are two famous opinions for our companions. The most correct is that if the portion that penetrates is equal to the length of the penile head, then the regulations for washing apply. The other opinion is that none of the regulations for washing apply until the entire remaining length of the penile shaft completely penetrates and Allah knows best.

 If a man wraps a sheath around his male member and then ejaculates inside a woman's vagina, then there are three opinions from our companions. The most famous is that the man must wash. The second is that he does not have to wash because he ejaculated inside the sheath. The third is that if the sheath is thick and prevents climax and wetness (in the vagina) then washing is not necessary, otherwise it is necessary and Allah knows best.

 

If a woman inserts (in her vagina) AN ANIMAL'S PENIS she must wash, and if she inserts A DETACHED PENIS (thakaran maktu-an, lit. "a severed male member"; a marital aid perhaps!?) there are two opinions; the most correct is that she must wash.

 

 

RESPONSE

 

Indeed such shady scholarship is inexcusable and one can see that Christian prince is blatantly lying. Now one may say if someone is wrong that doesn't mean they are lying, however so in this case it is not a matter of being right or wrong, it is clear distortion of what the text is saying.

 

For starters Christian prince above writes:

 

 Mohmad teaching Muslims how to have sex with animals and dead animals , women young girls , boys

 

When one reads what Christian prince quotes one will see that it was NOT the Holy Prophet (S) who talked about sex with animals, or homosexuality, or sex with a corpse, in fact I re-produce that part of the text:

 

 OUR COMPANIONS have said that if the penile head has penetrated A WOMAN'S ANUS, or A MAN'S ANUS, or AN ANIMAL'S VAGINA or ITS ANUS then it is necessary to wash whether the one being penetrated is alive OR DEAD, YOUNG OR OLD

 

So Christian prince is INTENTIONALLY lying when he claims that it is the Prophet Muhammad (S) talking about such things. The text clearly says it was the companions, how could Christian prince miss that part when it is so crystal clear?

 

Another lie that Christian prince makes is that he says the Prophet Muhammad (S) is teaching Muslims on how to have sex with animals an other men etc, as we already saw the Holy Prophet (S) was not the one talking about such acts but the companions were, secondly the companions being spoken of here are not the Sahabas though, the companions being spoken of here are the companions of Imam Nawawi, his students and fellow sheikhs. Thirdly the text shows nothing about teaching Muslims on how to have sex with other men or animals, that is another blatant lie. The texts are talking about men and women who conduct such acts; it is not teaching them on how to do it. From where did Christian prince get the idea that people were being taught on how to do it? In fact let us re-produce the text:  

 

Our companions have said that if the penile head has penetrated A WOMAN'S ANUS, or A MAN'S ANUS, or AN ANIMAL'S VAGINA or ITS ANUS then it is necessary to wash whether the one being penetrated is alive OR DEAD, YOUNG OR OLD

 

Where is any mention of us being taught on how to have sex with animals and so on? The text is speaking of people who do such things.

 

Now last but not least yes people may find this text to be strange and so on, but it is a commentary of a hadith, and the commentary is simply giving rules on what people must do if they perform such a sick act, it is not condoning it. There is a difference between condoning such an act and giving rules as what one must do if they carry it out, the commentary is simply saying that one who does such disgusting acts must wash, whether they do it intentionally or not. In fact the topic of the commentary is said:

 

 The meaning of the hadith is that the necessity to wash is not limited to when semen is ejaculated, rater it is when the penile head (Hash-fa, lit. "the head of the male member," i.e. head of the penis) penetrates the vagina, then it is necessary for the man and the woman to wash

 

The topic of the hadith is the washing up of a person after sexual intercourse or sexual penetration, and the commentary tells us about the companions of Imam Nawawi talking about this subject, and the companions were simply saying that a man and woman must wash and purify themselves after intercourse, which includes intercourse with another man, an animal, or a dead corpse. They are not condoning the act, they are just discussing the washing up of a person who commits such a heinous act, and once again the topic of the hadith was on washing and bathing after sexual intercourse.

 

Another very important thing, is Christian Prince's total ignorance of the hadith he cites himself, namely

 

The saying of the prophet - peace be upon him- ?When he site  between a her fours legs!) mostly its home animal (shu'biha Al-arba) and  intercourse her then fatigues her'

Firstly, nowhere in the Arabic, does the words in ?silver' above appear, it is Christian ?princes' own addition to the text, and secondly the hadith actually says:

 

 

Sahih al-Bukhari

 

Volume 1, Book 5, Number 290:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "When a man sits in between the four parts of a woman and did the sexual intercourse with her, bath becomes compulsory."

We ask, why Mr. Christian ?prince' did you forget this part of the text?? Is it because you were ignorant of the hadith in Bukhari?

 

Now what is the punishment of sex with an animal? Well if one is caught in the act or it is proven against that person then the penalty is death:

 

 

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: "The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If anyone has sexual intercourse with an animal, kill him and kill it along with him. I (Ikrimah) said: I asked him (Ibn Abbas): What offence can be attributed to the animal? He replied: I think he (the Prophet) disapproved of its flesh being eaten when such a thing had been done to it.  (Translation of Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 38, Number 4449)

So the punishment of bestiality is death in Islam.

Further more even the scholars of Ahl Us Sunnah Wal Jammah say: 

Shamaa il-Tirmidhi

 

 

021 : 124 : Hadith 002

Abu Bakrah radiyallahu anhu relates that, "Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam once said, :Must I show you a great sin, from among the greatest sins?" The sahaabah replied, "Yes O Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam, do tell us." Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam replied, "To ascribe a partner unto Allah. To disobey one's parents. To bare false witness, (or tell a lie). (The narrator is not sure which of the two Sayyidina Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam had said). At that time Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam was leaning on something. When he mentioned lies, he sat up, and because of its importance began to repeat it many times, till we began hoping that he would stop, and not repeat it so many times".

 

 

Commentary: The reason for the sahaabah radiyallhu anhum wishing that Sayyidina Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam should stop repeating it, is because of their love for Sayyidina Rasoolullah sallallhu alaihe wasallam, and there fear that he would become tired. It is enough to say a thing once. It could be possible that he might have become angry, or that in anger, Sayyidina Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam might say something that would become a cause of loss to the ummah. Those who attend these type of religious or worldly assemblies are well aware of such situations. Sayyidina Rasoolullah sallallhu alaihe wasallam repeated it to show its importance. Lies and falsehood inevitably gets a person involved in adultery, murder and many other sins. Sayyidina Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam also said, "When a person lies, the angels stay a distance of a mile away from him because odour it causes in person's mouth". He has also said, "A believer cannot be a liar". Sayyidina Abu Bakr Siddique radiyallahu Anhu says, "Stay away from lies, because lies keep away Imaan." (Al-Itidaal) In this hadith the major sins are mentioned. In the shari'ah there are two types of sins. One is the minor sins, which are forgiven after performing wudu, sallah, saum, haj etc. The second is the major or greater sins. These are never forgiven without sincere taubah (repentance). Certainly if Allah wills He will forgive even the major sins through His Great Mercy. This is an exception, but the fundamental laws is that they are not forgiven without sincere taubah. The 'alama differ as to the count of major sins. Special books have been written on this subject. 'Allaamah Dha-habi has written a special treatise on this subject, wherein he has counted four hundred major sins. Allamah Ibn Hajar has also written a two volume book which has been printed in Egypt. He has mentioned all the major sins on every subject, like that of salaah, saum, zakaah, haj etc. He has counted four hundred and sixty seven sins major sins in detail. Mulla Ali Qarri has written the commentary of the Shamaa-il Tirmidhi, the common major sins as follows: To murder a person; adultery; homosexuality; the drinking of wine and other intoxicants; theft; falsely accusing a person; refusing to give evidence of a factual incident; take a false oath; unlawfully taking possession of another's wealth or belonging; running away from war against non-believers without a valid reason; dealing in interest; stealing an orphan's possessions; taking and giving bribes; disobeying parents; cutting of relationship with one's relatives; relating a false hadith; breaking fast in Ramdhaan (without a valid reason); cheating in measures and weights; performing a fardh salaah before or after its stipulated time; avoiding paying zakaah; hitting or ill-treating a Muslim or non-Muslim with whom an agreement has been made; accusing or talk ill of the Sahabah radiyallahu anhum; backbiting especially about an aalim or a haafiz of Qur'aan; telling tales (backbite) to an oppressor; being shameless and accept the prostitution or unlawful habits of one's wife or daughter's; pimping; abstaining from Amri-bin-ma;ruf Wan-nahyi anil munkar (commanding to do good, and prohibiting from committing evil), whilst having the strength and means to do so; practicing black-magic (sihr-jadu) and teaching to others; casting a spell (black-magic) on someone; learning the Qur'aan and forget it; burning a living thing without a valid reason; giving up hope of attending Allah's mercy; having a fear of His punishment; a woman disobeying her husband and without a valid refused to fulfill his desires. Mulla Ali Qaari has given the above examples of major sins in the Mazaahiri Haq, translation and commentary on Mishkaat a special chapter has been written in the beginning, wherein similar sins have been mentioned. It has also been stated there in that to ascribe a partner on to Allah, in whatever form, e.g. making a partner in praying to him; in seeking assistance; in knowledge; in his divine power and authority in creating; in calling (someone not present) for help; in naming; slaughtering; in offering a vow; or the handling over all such in matters to people instead of Allah; etc. The following are also included in the kitaab: To make an intention to persist in sinning; to consume intoxicants; marry one's mahram; gamble; keep friendship with non-Muslim; not to take part in Jihaad, whilst having the power to do so; eat the meat of a dead animal; have faith in an astrologer, and forecasts of soothsayers; criticise Sayyidina Rasulullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam and the malla-ikah, and to deny his (Sayyidina Rasulullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam's) prophethood and their (malaa-ikah's) existence; criticise the Sahabah radiyallahu anhum; cause a quarrel and fight between husband and wife; be wasteful; create rebellion, intrigue or mischief; appear mude before others (besides one's wife, or husband); be niggardly and stingy; not cleansing one's self from urine and sperm (i.e. if these fall onto the clothing and body and are not washed); disbelieve and refute taqdder (divine fore-ordainment); lower the trouser or lungi below the ankles in pride; lament (no-hah) a persons death; begin or invent a bad mode, thing or manner; be ungrateful to a benefactor; call a Muslim a disbeliever; have intercourse with a menstruating woman; become happy when food becomes scarce; commit a sexual act with an animal; look at a man with lust; peep or spy in another's house; degrade the Ulama or the Huffaaz of the Qur'aan; fail to treat all wives equally if one has more than wife; be unfaithful to amir or leader etc. The major sins also have their stages. That is why in the above Hadith only the main ones among the major sins are mentioned according to their circumstances. The Ulama have written that to keep on committing a (minor) sin, results in it becoming a major sin, and by repenting sincerely a major sin is forgiven. A sincere taubah is that, one should make a firm resolution that one shall not commit that sin again.

 

 

 

Thus, after looking at the above we ask:

 

 

Professionally, and Politely for Christian Prince, and his supporters who spread this false notion that Islam teaches sex with animals, to apologize for their tampering, mistranslating, and distortion of Islamic texts, and of the words of our Beloved Prophet Muhammad RasoolAllah Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam!

 

 

Prayers and Peace forever and Always upon the Best of Creation....Ameen!

 

And Indeed, Allah SWT Knows Best!

Commentary of Imam Al-Nawawi on the Hadith

The saying of the prophet – peace be upon him- ‘When he site  between a her fours legs!) mostly its home animal (shu’biha Al-arba) and  intercourse her then fatigues her’

 In another narration the word ‘Ashu’biha’ is used. The scholars have disagreed about the intended meaning of ‘shu’biha Al-arba’ (the fours) for some said that it means the arms and the legs, while others have said that it refers to the legs and thighs, and other said it means the legs and the edge of the pubic area. Al-Qadi Ayad chose the meaning of the four areas surrounding the vagina. The word (Shu’b) means areas, its singular form being (Shu’bah). As for those who say (Ashba’iha) that is the plural of the word (Shu’b).

The word Aj-hada-ha (fatigue her) means to plow her, which was also stated by Al-Khatabi. Others have said it means to make her reach exhaustion as in the phrase ‘she made him toil and labor till he was exhausted’. Al-Qadi Ayad – may Allah rest his soul- said ‘Primarily, the word (Jahada’ha) means that the man exerted his effort working in a woman, where the word (Juh’d) means energy and refers to motion by describing the type of work. This is similar to his (the prophet) saying ‘he who plowed her’ meaning he who penetrated her by his motion. Otherwise, what other fatigue could a man experience because of her, and Allah knows best.

 The meaning of the hadith is that the necessity to wash is not limited to when semen is ejaculated, rater it is when the penile head (Hash-fa, lit. “the head of the male member,” i.e. head of the penis) penetrates the vagina, then it is necessary for the man and the woman to wash. There is no disagreement on this today, even though there was disagreement on this by some of the early companions and others later. However, an agreement was later reached and this is what we have shown and presented previously.

 Our companions have said that if the penile head has penetrated A WOMAN’S ANUS, or A MAN’S ANUS, or AN ANIMAL’S VAGINA or ITS ANUS then it is necessary to wash whether the one being penetrated is alive OR DEAD, YOUNG OR OLD, whether it was done intentionally or absentmindedly, whether it was done willfully or forcefully. This also applies if the woman places the male member inside her while the man is asleep, whether the penis is erect or not, whether the penis is circumcised or uncircumcised. All these situations require that the person committing the act and the one the act is committed on must wash themselves, unless the person committing the act or the person the act is committed on is a young male or female. In that case it cannot be said that the person must wash, for they do not have the responsibility, rather it is said that this person is in a state of impurity. If that person can discern (the sexual act) then his guardian can command him to wash just as he commands him to perform the ablution washing for prayers. For if he prays without washing, his prayer has not been performed correctly; likewise if he doesn’t wash after he reaches puberty he must be forced to wash. If he washed as a youth and then reaches puberty, then he does not have to repeat the washing.

 Our companions have said that intercourse occurs when a healthy male’s penile head completely penetrates (an orifice), as has been unanimously agreed. Thus, when the penile head has completely disappeared (inside the orifice), then all the regulations concerning washing apply. It is unanimously agreed that it is not necessary that the entire penile shaft penetrate to apply the regulations of washing. If part of the penile head penetrates, then the regulations of washing are not imposed as is agreed, except by an odd few of our companions who said that even in this case all the regulations of washing apply. However, this opinion is wrong, rejected and abandoned.  If the male member was severed and what remained was less than the length of the penile head, then none of the washing regulations apply. If the part remaining was equal in length to the penile head length then that part must completely penetrate for the regulation of washing to apply. If the part remaining was greater in length to the penile head length then there are two famous opinions for our companions.

The second is that he does not have to wash because he ejaculated inside the sheath. The third is that if the sheath is thick and prevents climax and wetness (in the vagina) then washing is not necessary, otherwise it is necessary and Allah knows best.

 

If a woman inserts (in her vagina) AN ANIMAL’S PENIS she must wash, and if she inserts A DETACHED PENIS (thakaran maktu-an, lit. “a severed male member”; a marital aid perhaps!?) there are two opinions; the most correct is that she must wash.

‏قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم : ( إذا قعد بين شعبها الأربع ثم جهدها ) ‏
‏وفي رواية ( أشعبها ) اختلف العلماء في المراد بالشعب الأربع , فقيل : هي اليدان والرجلان , وقيل : الرجلان والفخذان , وقيل : الرجلان والشفران , واختار القاضي عياض أن المراد شعب الفرج الأربع , والشعب النواحي واحدتها شعبة , وأما من قال : ( أشعبها ) , فهو جمع شعب . ومعنى ( جهدها ) حفرها كذا قاله الخطابي وقال غيره : بلغ مشقتها , يقال : جهدته وأجهدته بلغت مشقته , قال القاضي عياض رحمه الله تعالى : الأولى أن يكون جهدها بمعنى بلغ جهده في العمل فيها , والجهد الطاقة , وهو إشارة إلى الحركة وتمكن صورة العمل , وهو نحو قوله من حفرها أي كدها بحركته . وإلا فأي مشقة بلغ بها في ذلك . والله أعلم . ومعنى الحديث أن إيجاب الغسل لا يتوقف على نزول المني بل متى غابت الحشفة في الفرج وجب الغسل على الرجل والمرأة , وهذا لا خلاف فيه اليوم , وقد كان فيه خلاف لبعض الصحابة ومن بعدهم , ثم انعقد الإجماع على ما ذكرناه , وقد تقدم بيان هذا . قال أصحابنا : ولو غيب الحشفة في دبر امرأة , أو دبر رجل , أو فرج بهيمة , أو دبرها , وجب الغسل سواء كان المولج فيه حيا أو ميتا , صغيرا أو كبيرا , وسواء كان ذلك عن قصد أم عن نسيان , وسواء كان مختارا أو مكرها , أو استدخلت المرأة ذكره وهو نائم , وسواء انتشر الذكر أم لا , وسواء كان مختونا أم أغلف , فيجب الغسل في كل هذه الصور على الفاعل والمفعول به إلا إذا كان الفاعل أو المفعول به صبيا أو صبية فإنه لا يقال وجب عليه لأنه ليس مكلفا , ولكن يقال صار جنبا فإن كان مميزا وجب على الولي أن يأمره بالغسل كما يأمره بالوضوء , فإن صلى من غير غسل لم تصح صلاته , وإن لم يغتسل حتى بلغ وجب عليه الغسل , وإن اغتسل في الصبى ثم بلغ لم يلزمه إعادة الغسل . قال أصحابنا : والاعتبار في الجماع بتغييب الحشفة من صحيح الذكر بالاتفاق , فإذا غيبها بكمالها تعلقت به جميع الأحكام , ولا يشترط تغييب جميع الذكر بالاتفاق . ولو غيب بعض الحشفة لا يتعلق به شيء من الأحكام بالاتفاق إلا وجها شاذا ذكره بعض أصحابنا أن حكمه حكم جميعها , وهذا الوجه غلط منكر متروك , وأما إذا كان الذكر مقطوعا فإن بقي منه دون الحشفة لم يتعلق به شيء من الأحكام , وإن كان الباقي قدر الحشفة فحسب تعلقت الأحكام بتغييبه بكماله , وإن كان زائدا على قدر الحشفة ففيه وجهان مشهوران لأصحابنا أصحهما أن الأحكام تتعلق بقدر الحشفة منه , والثاني لا يتعلق شيء من الأحكام إلا بتغييب جميع الباقي . والله أعلم . ‏
‏ولو لف على ذكره خرقة وأولجه في فرج امرأة ففيه ثلاثة أوجه لأصحابنا منها والمشهور أنه يجب عليهما الغسل , والثاني لا يجب لأنه أولج في خرقة , والثالث إن كانت الخرقة غليظة تمنع وصول اللذة والرطوبة لم يجب الغسل . وإلا وجب . والله أعلم . ‏

In Chapter 1 of this series, we noted what Allah is all about. Allah, truly, is like a human being—at least, this was the impression Muhammad wanted to implant in the minds of his followers. The Bedouin Pagans had a concept of Allah which was primarily fuzzy, unclear and filled with superstitious belief. When Muhammad introduced to them his new Allah, they were more confused; they wanted to have a proper grasp of who was this new Allah. To clear the cobwebs, vis-à-vis Allah, from the minds of these Pagans, Muhammad had no choice but to tell them that his Allah had the same desires, habits, likes and dislikes, just like any human being has. To this end in view, Muhammad engaged himself in inventing all means of description of his Allah’s mental disposition regarding all and every matter which all human beings are familiar with. Here are a few examples of Muhammad’s Allah’s likes and dislikes.
 

Allah does not like any challenges

The Bedouin Pagans challenged Muhammad to prove his claims of divine inspiration from Allah. Having failed to successfully meet their challenge, Muhammad became irate, frustrated and vengeful. In Mecca, he had no raw muscle power to subdue those Quraysh who were constantly harassing him through many poems and intellectual debates. In all those debates those Pagan intellectuals beat Muhammad—hands down. Many poets in Mecca flattened Muhammad intellectually in their compositions—insisting that Muhammad’s claims were nothing new. Dejected, saddened and hopelessly dispirited, Muhammad now turned to his Allah. Allah quickly sent down verses to placate his intimate, dearest friend. In these verses, Allah steadfastly asserted that He too is angered and insulted by the insolence of the Pagan Arabs who dared to impugn Him with compositions quite akin or better than the Qur’anic verses.

Allah promised His wrath, vengeance, terror and threatened the Quraysh Pagans with Hell if they dared to continue with their challenge to him (i.e. Muhammad). Allah was deeply perturbed with the ‘puny’ poems of the Meccan poets who defeated the Qur’an, Muhammad’s composition of Allah’s Words. Muhammad was unable to prove that his Qur’an was really from Allah. So, Allah had to come to rescue His dearest Apostle. Allah now challenged those Meccan poets to compose one sura similar to the Quran. The poets of Mecca, of course met this challenge. Angered, Allah then asked the Pagans to compose ten suras similar to the Qur’an. The Pagan poets duly met this challenge as well. Greatly perturbed, Allah then challenged those poets of the desert to compose a book which will be superior to the entire Qur’an and the Taurat (Torah) combined. Those Arab poets had no difficulty in meeting this challenge from Allah (i.e. Muhammad). Infuriated and frustrated, Allah, citing how he had, in the past, destroyed many generations for indulging in such calumny, issued warrants that henceforth He would never forgive those who dared to challenge Him (i.e. Muhammad). 

Let us read a few verses from the Qur’an about Allah’s absolute dislike for his challengers.

First, Allah challenged the Pagans to bring a sura like the Qur’an, if anyone doubts it…10:38 

YUSUFALI: Or do they say, "He forged it"? say: "Bring then a Sura like unto it, and call (to your aid) anyone you can besides Allah, if it be ye speak the truth!" [Q 10.38]

Then Allah challenged the Pagans to compose ten suras similar to the Qur’an. 

Qur’an is the direct speech of God; when the unbelievers insist that Muhammad himself had written the Qur’an, Allah challenges them to bring ten Suras like the Qur’an...11:13 

YUSUFALI: Or they may say, "He forged it," Say, "Bring ye then ten suras forged, like unto it, and call (to your aid) whomsoever ye can, other than Allah!- If ye speak the truth! [Q 11.13]

Finally, Allah challenged the Pagan poets to compose the entire Quran and the Taurat. 

                        If the unbelievers could bring a book better than the two (Qur’an and Taurat?) then Muhammad would have followed that book…28:49 

YUSUFALI: Say: "Then bring ye a Book from Allah, which is a better guide than either of them, that I may follow it! (do), if ye are truthful!" [Q 28.49]

Allah is now furious and in extreme frustration. He threatens with hell-fire those who dared to challenge Him. He even cites the fate of earlier generations who threw challenges to Him. 

Challenging Allah is incurring hell (Allah does not like any challenges)...22:51

YUSUFALI: "But those who strive against Our Signs, to frustrate them,- they will be Companions of the Fire." [022.051]

When Lot admonished his people for their sinful acts of sodomy and highway robbery, they challenged Lot to bring to them the wrath of Allah …29:29

YUSUFALI: "Do ye indeed approach men, and cut off the highway?- and practise wickedness (even) in your councils?" But his people gave no answer but this: they said: "Bring us the Wrath of Allah if thou tellest the truth." [029.029] 

Allah metes out a humiliating punishment to the challengers of the Qur’an…34:5

YUSUFALI: But those who strive against Our Signs, to frustrate them,- for such will be a Penalty,- a Punishment most humiliating. [034.005]

Allah will punish those who challenge the Qur’an…34:38

YUSUFALI: Those who strive against Our Signs, to frustrate them, will be given over into Punishment. [034.038]

Allah will mete out retribution to those who challenge Him…51:14

YUSUFALI: "Taste ye your trial! This is what ye used to ask to be hastened!" [051.014]

Allah does not like the tolling of bells and music
Muhammad never had any likings for music and songs. In the ancient Arabian society these two artistic skills were highly prized. This is true even today. Listen to any Arab music or songs and you will be astonished by its vibrancy, rhythm, eloquence, lilting tunes and its enthralling power to enrapt the audience. Muhammad did not posses any such skills. He had nothing to contribute to the rich culture of Arab music, song and dance. So he had to disparage the skilful music composers and their enchanting songs. The Christian Arabs used the appealing music of the bell to invite their adherents to their Churches. Muhammad hated this. So Allah also had to hate music and songs. Allah compared those who tolled the bells and composed music with the activities of Satan and promised a severe retribution to those who indulged in such pleasure. While we do not read any verse in the Qur’an which specifically prohibits tolling of bells or playing of music, there are plenty of ahadith which do prohibit music, song and dance. In sharia law, music and dance are strictly forbidden. Let us read a few ahadith on the banning of music, song and dance. 

The bell is the musical instrument of Satan… (Sahih Muslim, 24.5279)

Book 024, Number 5279:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The bell is the musical instrument of the Satan. 

Similar ahadith are found in Sunaan Abu Dawud.

The bell is a musical instrument of Satan…(Sunaan Abu Dawud, 2.14.2550)

Sunaan Abu Dawud, Vol ii, Book 14, Hadith Number 2550:

Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet (may peace be upon him) as saying: The bell is wooden wind and musical instrument of Satan. 

Let us read another hadith from Sunaan Abu Dawud.

Singing, playing and simple amusement without musical instrument is allowed… (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 3.41.4905

Sunaan Abu Dawud, Vol.iii, Book 41, Hadith Number 4905:

Anas said: When the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) came to Medina, the Abyssinians played for his coming out of joy; they played with spears. 

We might think this hadith permits Muslims to indulge in contemporary music and songs. But we are dead wrong. The translator of Sunaan Abu Dawud writes that dancing, singing and music of modern times, especially by women are completely prohibited (Hasan, 2001, p. 3.1371, foot note 4284). 

And Sahih Bukhari too confirms that music, fine dressing and wining are absolutely forbidden. 

Those Muslims who enjoy music, fine silk, drinking and sex—some of them Allah will destroy, some of them will be transformed into monkeys and pigs… (Sahih Bukhari, 7.69.494v) 

Volume 7, Book 69, Number 494v: Narrated Abu 'Amir or Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari:

That he heard the Prophet saying, "From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful. And there will be some people who will stay near the side of a mountain and in the evening their shepherd will come to them with their sheep and ask them for something, but they will say to him, 'Return to us tomorrow.' Allah will destroy them during the night and will let the mountain fall on them, and He will transform the rest of them into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Resurrection."  

According to Sharia law music, songs and dances are haram (prohibited) activities (al-Misri, 1999, p.774-776).

This Sharia law is quite length. I shall quote only the relevant parts. 

Musical instrument
Quoting various sources, from the Qur’an and ahadith, the Sharia law on musical instrument stipulates:

All of this is explicit and compelling textual evidence that musical instruments of all types are unlawful. 

Law r40.2 (Nawawi) It is unlawful to use musical instrument—such as those which drinkers are known for, like mandolin, lute, cymbals and flute—or to listen to them. It is permissible to play the tambourine at weddings, circumcisions, and other times, even it has bells on its sides. Beating the kuba, a long drum with a narrow middle is unlawful. 

Singing

Law r40.3 (Ibn Hajar hayatami):  As for listening to singing that is not accompanied by instruments, one should know that singing or listening to singing is offensive except under the circumstances to be mentioned in what follows. Some scholars hold that singing is sunna at weddings and the like, and of our Imams, Ghazali and ‘Izz ibn ‘Abd al–Salam say that it is sunna if it motivates one to a noble state of mind that makes one remember the hereafter. It is clear from this that all poetry which encourages good deeds, wisdom, noble qualities, abstinence from this worldly things, or similar pious traits such as urging one to obey Allah, follow the sunna, or shun disobedience, is sunna to write, sing, or listen to, as more than one of our Imams have stated is obvious, since using a means to do good is itself doing good. 

Dancing

Law r40.4 (Nawawi: (n: with commentary by Muhammad Shirbini Khatib)) It is not prohibited to dance ((Shirbini) which is not unlawful because it is only motions made while standing or bowing. Furani and others have expressly stated that neither is it offensive, but rather is permissible, as is attested to by the hadith related in the Sahihs of Bukhari and Muslim that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) stood before ‘Aisha (Allah be well pleased with her) to screen her from view so that she could observe the Abyssinians sporting and dancing)—unless it is languid, like movements of the effeminate. 

So, according to Allah’s law, standing, bowing and walking are Islamic dancing and these are allowed. Any other form of dancing—the cultural dances of all nations (like Indian dance, Western dance, Thai dance, Malay dance….etc.) are strictly forbidden. 

Allah likes perfume

Yes, that is correct. Imam Ghazali writes that on the Resurrection Day, Allah will wear such a perfume that its fragrance will beat even the fragrance of the musk (Ghazali, 1993, p. 4.322). This means that Allah is really physical, otherwise how could an entity wear perfume if it does not possess a physical existence?

Imam Ghazali writes: 

                        …The Prophet said, “There is account for everything lawful and there is punishment for what unlawful (sic). He also said: People will be asked on the resurrection day (sic) for everything, even why he applied antimony to his eyes, why he muddled the earth with his fingers, why he touched the things of his brother. He said: He applies scent for the sake when Allah will come on the Resurrection Day with such a fragrance which will become more scented than musk. He who applies it for other than Allah will come on the Resurrection Day with stench more than that of a dead animal. …. 

The above passage clearly demonstrates why Allah likes to wear perfume: yes, it is because Muhammad had a great taste for musk perfume. When meeting delegates and women, he always wore that perfume. Allah also likes perfume—only for Muhammads sake. 

Allah loves mosque-building

This liking of Allah should not surprise any readers. Visit any Islamic Paradises and you will be awe-struck with the number of mosques in any suburbs. From the minarets of these ubiquitous mosques, big or small, the cacophony of Azan (prayer call) emanates five-times a day, 24 hours and 365 days. If we ask any Islamists he will surely testify this high pitch blaring sound as Allah’s music. Any, person, if ever he dares to call this as absolute noise pollution will have his day, believe me. If the diehard mosque goers could ever spot this person on the street or in the vicinity of a mosque, they will surely hunt him down, heckle him and possibly cut him into pieces. Please visit Dhaka, the capital city of one of the poorest Islamic Paradises, Bangladesh, and enjoy for yourself the music of Allah, from the dawn, before sunrise, until the first part of the night.

You will also notice the obsession of ‘moderate Muslims’ to construct mosques in the infidel territories where they have been provided an opportunity to enjoy a relatively calm, peaceful and prosperous life. To these migrants of Islam, it is their most pious, sacred and compulsory religious duty to build mosques in infidel territories, wherever they might be. Nothing will prevent them from raising enormous fund (with help from petrodollar) to construct Allah’s houses (mosques). In Australia, the migrant Islamic community has vowed to build mosques in every suburb even though the population of Muslims in Australia hardly exceeds 1.5%. But this microscopic migrant Islamists have a giant dream—to convert all of Australia into Allah’s land–an Islamic Paradise. Building of mosques is the first step in this direction.

So, why the diehard Islamists are fanatical with building mosques wherever they are? The answer is very simple. Allah has urged them to build mosques anywhere Muslims are there—even when there is only a handful of them—even when there may be only two or three of them. When the number of Muslims is very feeble, possibly less than ten, they will start with a Musalla, an exclusive prayer room. When the number rises to around a couple of hundred they will apply to the local government authorities to erect a mosque. If you have doubt on this, please watch how the Muslim students in many western universities demand a special prayer room exclusively for them. When this demand is satisfied they will step up the demand for a little mosque in the university campus. If this demand is not met they will lobby the Arab governments to exert their political pressure on the infidel government. This is the ardour these Islamists have to build mosques wherever they are.

Here are some reasons why the Islamists are so much eager to erect mosques.

Whoever builds a mosque, Allah will build a similar place for him in Paradise… (Sahih Bukhari, 1.8.441) 

Volume 1, Book 8, Number 441: Narrated 'Ubdaidullah Al-Khaulani:

I heard 'Uthman bin 'Affan saying, when people argued too much about his intention to reconstruct the mosque of Allah's Apostle, "You have talked too much. I heard the Prophet saying, 'Whoever built a mosque, (Bukair thought that 'Asim, another sub narrator, added, "Intending Allah's Pleasure"), Allah would build for him a similar place in Paradise.' " 

He who builds a mosque for Allah, Allah would build for him a house in paradise… (Sahih Muslim, 4.10841085

Allah will shed a man whose heart is attached to the mosque… (Sahih Bukhari, 2.24.504

One step to mosque–one sin is forgiven… (Sahih Bukhari, 3.34.330

On every Friday Angels stand at the gates of every mosque
… (Sahih Bukhari, 4.54.433

Allah obliterates sins for performing a thorough ablution, walking to the mosque and waiting for the next prayer… (Sahih Muslim, 2.0485

He who offers the Morning Prayer in a mosque is under the protection of Allah… (Sahih Muslim, 4.1381

Angels invoke blessings as long as you are inside a mosque …(Sahih Muslim, 4.139613971399

He who went towards the mosque in the morning or evening, Allah would arrange a feast for him in the morning or in the evening in Paradise… (Sahih Muslim, 4.1412

Allah loves the lands of mosques and hates the markets… (Sahih Muslim, 4.1416

Allah’s security is for three people: 1. a jihadist 2. a mosque goer 3. he who enters his house after giving salutation… (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 2.14.2488) 

The above hadith is not available online. So I shall quote it from the print version of Sunaan Abu Dawud 

Sunaan Abu Dawud, vol. 2, book 14, hadith number 2488:

Abu Umamat al–Bahlil reported the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) as saying: There are three persons who are in the security of Allah, the Exalted: A man who goes out on an expedition to fight in the path of Allah, the Exalted, is in the security of Allah, until He takes him unto Him (i.e. he dies), and brings him unto Paradise or brings him (alive) with reward and booty he obtains; and a man who goes to the mosque is in the security of Allah, until He takes him unto Him (i.e. he dies), and he brings him in to Paradise, or brings him reward and spoils he obtains; and a man who enters his house after giving salutation is in the security of Allah, the exalted. 

With so much extraordinary rewards promised, why should not an Islamist be fervent in building a mosque wherever he goes? After all, he has nothing to lose—Allah fully protects him, for sure. 

Allah loves to frighten the believers

This disposition of Allah might shock many readers, especially the Muslims. But this fear tactic of Allah to force people in submission (Islam) should not be unfamiliar to the readers. If you had already read the previous two parts of this series, you might have already guessed the feeling of insecurity Allah suffers from. And, this is because Muhammad, His closest friend, also suffered from insecurity and frustration. That is why Allah has to frighten the believers to keep them in the fold and terrorise the unbelievers and force them to submission (surrender to Allah, Islam). 

Let us read this hadith from Sahih Bukhari

Allah sends eclipse to frighten the believers... (Sahih Bukhari, 2.18.167).

Volume 2, Book 18, Number 167: Narrated Abu Musa:

The sun eclipsed and the Prophet got up, being afraid that it might be the Hour (i.e. Day of Judgment). He went to the Mosque and offered the prayer with the longest Qiyam, bowing and prostration that I had ever seen him doing. Then he said, "These signs which Allah sends do not occur because of the life or death of somebody, but Allah makes His worshipers afraid by them. So when you see anything thereof, proceed to remember Allah, invoke Him and ask for His forgiveness."  

Here is another hadith from Sunaan Abu Abu Dawud

Book 20, Number 3084:  Narrated Muhammad ibn Khalid as-Sulami:

                        As-Sulami's grandfather, who was a Companion of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say: When Allah has previously decreed for a servant a rank which he has not attained by his action, He afflicts him in his body, or his property or his children.

The translator of Sunaan Abu Dawud, Professor Ahmad Hasan comments on this hadith in this way:

                        This shows that Allah enhances a person’s rank by affliction in whatever form it may be. Sometimes a man cannot attain the rank previously decreed by Allah for him. Therefore, to raise him to that rank he afflicts him in his body, property or children. One should not take calamity as the wrath of Allah. It is mercy from Him (Hasan, 2001, p. 2.880, foot note 2558).

The above comment, from a highly respected scholar of hadith tells it all. If you are a Muslim, rest assured that Allah will inflict torture and pain on you. Allah loves to inflict terror, torment, suffering and punishment. These activities please him—if you did not know the reason.

 

Allah is extremely self-conscious; He praises Himself, just like a child loves to praise itself

It is quite easy to comprehend why Allah is so much self-conscious and hungry to be praised by humans. As told before, Muhammad, during his childhood, had very little experience with those powerful human emotions—love, care, attention, affection and praise. Those human feelings are absolutely vital for the development of a happy and healthy psychological make up of a child. Since, as an orphan, Muhammad had missed those essential ingredients, it is not surprising that Allah also missed them. Allah Himself, without much qualm, admits that He is deeply in need of those vital psychological emotions.

Here is what Allah says about His ardour to grab attention and be praised. 

None loves to be praised more than Allah does, and for this reason He praises Himself… (Sahih Bukhari, 6.60.158, 161). 

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 158: Narrated Abu Wail:

'Abdullah (bin Mas'ud) said, "None has more sense of ghaira than Allah Therefore - He prohibits shameful sins (illegal sexual intercourse, etc.) whether committed openly or secretly. And none loves to be praised more than Allah does, and for this reason He praises Himself." I asked Abu Wali, "Did you hear it from Abdullah?" He said, "Yes," I said, "Did Abdullah ascribe it to Allah's Apostle?" He said, "Yes." 

None is more self-respecting than Allah… (Sahih Muslim, 37.6651)

Book 037, Number 6651:

Abu Salama reported from Abu Huraira that he narrated that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: There is none more self-respecting than Allah, the Exalted and Glorious There is no mention of the narration of Asma'.

Nothing is loved by Allah more than the praise of His Own self and it is because of this that He has praised Himself… (Sahih Muslim,37.66476648)

Allah listens to him who praises Him… (Sahih Muslim, 4.08000802).

Allah loves flattery… (Sahih Muslim, 4.6648). 

‘Abdul Hamid Siddiqi, the eminent hadith scholar and the translator of Sahih Muslim denies that Allah loves flattery. Commenting on above hadith, he writes:           

This does not mean that Allah, like ordinary human beings, loves flattery. What this implies is that Allah has defined Himself clearly and has strikingly brought into prominence His true personality and attributes and all His qualities and characteristics. As Allah is the Sole Creator, Master and Sovereign of the Universe and man has a very close and intimate contact with Him, more close and intimate even than his own soul, His clear perception is, therefore, the most important prerequisite of his life. Unless a man recognize (Sic) Him well, he cannot recognize himself. So, when Allah is praised it is a clear proof of the fact that man has been able to recognize his Lord, his own self and the universe around him (Siddiqi, 2004, p. 4.1736, foot note 2958). 

It is difficult to understand the above comment by Professor ‘Abdul Hamid Siddiqi. To be fair, I just quoted the comment by a reputable Islamic scholar. 

On Allah’s acute self-awareness, here is another comment from the Saudi Arabia’s top Imams, viz. Shaikh Abdul Aziz ibn Baz, Shaikh Muhammad ibn Uthaimin…et al: 

A reader asked Shaikh ibn Baz the following question: 

Question 12: We find some of the verses of the Quran printed in the newspapers or writings, as well as, “In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful”, at the beginning of some papers or letters. What do we do with such verses after we are finished reading the newspaper or letter? Should we tear it up or burn it or what should be done? 

Response: It is a must, after one is done with the papers or pages that contain Allah’s name, to safeguard the papers, by burning them or burying them in clean soil. This is to protect the Quranic verses and Allah’s names from being degraded. It is not allowed to throw them into the garbage heaps or into the streets or to use them as different kinds of sheets, such as tablecloth. Otherwise, one is degrading the names and verses and not safe keeping them. (ibn al-Musnad, 1996, pp.42–43)
 

Allah loves blind believers; He feels pleased and comfortable with them

Allah’s love for the blind believers knows no bound. Previously, we saw how much Allah hates those people who challenge Him intellectually and question about Him. Demanding unflinching devotion, allegiance and faithfulness, Allah promises His admiration and the garden of Paradise for such absolute blind followers of Islam. Let us read a few verses from the Qur’an which demonstrate Allah’s passionate love for His blind, ardent believers. 

Allah will admire those who put blind faith in Him; believing in Him without any question and argument…50:31–33 

YUSUFALI: And the Garden will be brought nigh to the Righteous,- no more a thing distant. [050.031]
YUSUFALI: (A voice will say:) "This is what was promised for you,- for every one who turned (to Allah) in sincere repentance, who kept (His Law), [050.032]

YUSUFALI: "Who feared (Allah) Most Gracious Unseen, and brought a heart turned in devotion (to Him): [050.033]

To be rewarded with fabulous richness of Paradise a believer must fear Allah, even though He is unseen. The believer must, without any hesitancy or doubt, obey Allah and His dearest companion Muhammad. 

There is a great reward for those who fear the unseen Allah...67:12

YUSUFALI: As for those who fear their Lord unseen, for them is Forgiveness and a great Reward. [067.012] 

The blind believers are the true followers when they say 'we hear and we obey'…24:51

YUSUFALI: The answer of the Believers, when summoned to Allah and His Messenger, in order that He may judge between them, is no other than this: they say, "We hear and we obey": it is such as these that will attain felicity. [024.051]

A hadith in Sunaan Ibn Majah says that a true believer (Muslim) is like a camel; he follows blindly. Let us read this hadith. 

Sunaan Ibn Majah, Vol. i, Hadith Number 43:

‘Abd ar-Rahman b. ‘Amr as-salami said that he heard ‘Irbad b. Sariya as saying, “Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) delivered a sermon to us whereby the eyes welled forth the tears and the hearts were softened. We said, “Allah’s Messenger, this is sermon of a person bidding farewell! So what would you enjoin upon us?” He said, “I am leaving you on brightness: its night is (as bright) as its day. None would deviate from it except the one who is doomed to perish. Whoso survives would certainly find much differences (sic). Then it would be incumbent upon you to adhere to my sunna and thesunna of the righteous and pious caliphs, with which you are familiar. Hold fast it (sic) with teeth and the obedience (of the ruler) is obligatory for you even if he is an Abyssinian slave. Verily, the (true) believer is like a camel having a (pricking) bridle in its nose. To whichever direction, (sic) it is driven, it surrenders itself in submission.
 

Allah does not like questions about Him

Having failed to prove decisively his claim that Allah had appointed him as His agent on earth, Muhammad resorted to fear tactics He cast fear in the minds of the illiterate and uninformed Bedouin Arabs. When those handful of Arab Pagans, who had enough information and knowledge on religious matters, cornered Muhammad with embarrassing questions, Muhammad was exasperated but was unable to provide any plausible answers to their questions. He remained taciturn, vacuous, and recondite. His only response was to curse those who questioned him and doubted his claims. The upshot was that in desperation, he talked about the greatest fear in all human—the fear of death and warned those questioners that Allah will not forgive those who ask questions about the Qur’an and about Allah. He curtly replied their questions with Qur’anic verses, insisting they were from Allah. Here are a few such verses. 

Do not ask questions on matters of Qur’an revelations...5:101

YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. But if ye ask about things when the Qur'an is being revealed, they will be made plain to you, Allah will forgive those: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing. [005.101] 

Asking questions about Qur’an may cause one to lose faith...5:102

YUSUFALI: Some people before you did ask such questions, and on that account lost their faith. [005.102]
 

Do not question Allah for His acts but He will question everyone...21:23

YUSUFALI: And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant, then produce a Sura like there unto; and call your witnesses or helpers (If there are any) besides Allah, if your (doubts) are true.  [002.023]

It is utter impudence for men to question about how their petrified bones will become alive on the resurrection day…36:78

YUSUFALI: And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own (origin and) Creation: He says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?" [036.078]
 

None should question about Allah’s retribution; you should be crying instead of laughing and bow down to Him…53:59-62

YUSUFALI: Do ye then wonder at this recital? [053.059]
YUSUFALI: And will ye laugh and not weep,-  [053.060]
YUSUFALI: Wasting your time in vanities? [053.061 ]
YUSUFALI: But fall ye down in prostration to Allah, and adore (Him)! [Q 053.062]

It is a great insolent to question the resurrection day when you are alive…75:5-6

YUSUFALI: But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him. [075.005]
YUSUFALI: He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?" [075.006]

And here is a hadith from Sahih Bukhari which tells us that if you question about the ancestry of Allah, you are a Satan.

Whoever questions who created Allah is Satan… (Sahih Bukhari, 4.54.496).

Volume 4, Book 54, Number 496: Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Satan comes to one of you and says, 'Who created so-and-so? 'till he says, 'Who has created your Lord?' So, when he inspires such a question, one should seek refuge with Allah and give up such thoughts." 

Sahih Muslim also confirms that a doubter of Allah and Muhammad is a Satan. 

It is Satan who asks such questions as who created the heaven, who created the earth; answer such questions with, “It is Allah.”… (Sahih Muslim, 1.0242, 0243). 

Book 001, Number 0242:

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Men will continue to question one another till this is propounded: Allah created all things but who created Allah? He who found himself confronted with such a situation should say: I affirm my faith in Allah. 

Book 001, Number 0243:

This hadith has been transmitted by Mahmud b. Ghailan by another chain of transmitters (and the words are): The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: The Satan will come to everyone of you and say: Who created the heaven, who created the earth? (And the man) replies: It is Allah, Then the remaining part of the hadith was narrated as mentioned above and the words 'His Prophets" were added to it.

 
Allah does not like a woman who refuses to have sex with her husband.

There are a number of ahadith which tell us Allah’s great obsession with women and sex. Allah wanted all Arab Bedouins who converted to Islam to have sex aplenty. Allah was fearful that if those uncouth, Bedouin jihadists did not have unrestricted sex with women, especially with those women captives of war,  these nascent fighters of Allah will lose motivation to continue. Here is a sample hadith from Sahih Muslim.

Allah gets displeased with the woman who does not immediately respond when her husband demands sex from her… (Sahih Muslim, 8.3367, 3368). 

Book 008, Number 3367:

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, when a man calls his wife to his bed, and she does not respond, the One Who is in the heaven is displeased with her until he (her husband) is pleased with her. 

In fact, Allah says that a woman must sexually satisfy her husband even when on top of a camel… (Ibn Majah, 3.1853). Let us read this hadith. 

Ibn Majah, Vol. iii, hadith Number 1853:

‘Abdullah b. Abi’ Auta (Allah be pleased with him) is reported to have said that when Mu’adh (Allah be pleased with him) came from Syria, he prostrated before the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He (the Holy Prophet) said, “O Mu’adh, what is it?” He replied, “I went to Syria and found them (the Syrians) prostrating before their archbishops and their emperors. I liked it in my heart that we should do so for you.” Upon this, Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be with him) remarked, “Don’t do so. If I were to command anyone to prostrate before anyone besides Allah, I would have commanded the wife to prostrate before her spouse. By him in Whose Hand lies my life, a woman can not carry out the right of her to surrender herself (to him for sexual intercourse) she should not refuse him even if she is on a camel’s saddle.

According to Zawaid, Ibn Hibban transmitted it in his Sahih. Sandi said, “It is as if he means that it is hadith having good isnad.

The reason why a woman’s primary Islamic duty is to satisfy her husband’s sexual desire is also explained in a few ahadith. Let us read them.

A woman is a sexual property, the righteous woman is the best property…(Ibn Majah, 3.1855). 

                        Sunaan Ibn Majah, Vol. iii, Hadith Number 1855:

                        ‘Abdullah b. ‘Amr (Allah be pleased with him) is reported to have said that Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Verily, the world is a property and nothing of the property of the world is better than a righteous woman. 

Muhammad Tufail Ansari, the translator of Ibn Majah, in a note, explains this hadith in this manner:

The word mata has many connotations. It implies enjoyment, pleasure, object of delight, possession, merchandise, household effects, articles (sic) of everyday use. All these connotations are applicable here.

Marriage makes vagina lawful to a man… (Ibn Majah, 3.1954).

Sunaan Ibn Majah, Vol. iii, Hadith Number 1954:

‘Uqba b. ‘Amir (Allah be pleased with him) is reported to have said on the authority of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), “The most worthy condition that must be fulfilled is that which makes vagina lawful for you.”

A husband is the owner of his wives chastity.. (Ibn Majah, 3.2388).

Sunaan Ibn Majah, Vol. iii, Hadith Number2388:

‘Amr b. Shu’aib (Allah be pleased with him) reported his father to have said on his grandfather’s authority that Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said in a sermon he delivered, “It is not lawful for a woman (to make a donation) from her property but with the consent of her husband when he becomes the owner of her chastity (i.e. when he marries her).

Allah likes Muslims who beat their wives and treat them as domestic animals

Thanks to the power of the Internet, it is now widely known that Islam allows Muslim husbands to physically beat their wives. This deep secret and shame of Islam is finally out quite extensively to the world. Here is the verse from the Qur’an which permits a Muslim husband to beat his wife/wives whenever he wished to do so. In this verse the reason why Allah allowed men to beat their wives is also provided. It is because the men are the owners of their women (wives and sex–slaves). In part-3(ii) of this series we learned from a few authentic ahadith that a woman is a husband’s property or chattel and that the husband is the owner of his wives’ private parts, including every element of her reproductive organ (read more on this here and here). See Islamic beating of women here

Men are protectors and maintainers of women; women must be devoutly obedient, if not then beat them...4:34

YUSUFALI: Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all). [Q4:34] 

When reading the above translation, please ignore the words inside the parenthesis. They were inserted by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, who was deeply embarrassed and ostensibly wanted to portray the Qur’an as a merciful book, especially towards women. The original Qur’an does not have the word ‘lightly’. 

The following verse from the Qur’an tells us that a true believer (i.e., a true Muslim) is not hesitant to beat his wives. In this verse Allah is talking about his ardent slave, Prophet Job (Ayub). 

Allah asked Job to beat his wife with a little grass (or a green branch?); he was a true believer (Allah likes wife-beating)…38:41–44


YUSUFALI: Commemorate Our Servant Job. Behold he cried to his Lord: "The Evil One has afflicted me with distress and suffering!" [Q038.041]

YUSUFALI: (The command was given:) "Strike with thy foot: here is (water) wherein to wash, cool and refreshing, and (water) to drink." [Q038.042]

YUSUFALI: And We gave him (back) his people, and doubled their number,- as a Grace from Ourselves, and a thing for commemoration, for all who have Understanding. [Q038.043]

YUSUFALI: "And take in thy hand a little grass, and strike therewith: and break not (thy oath)." Truly We found him full of patience and constancy. How excellent in Our service! ever did he turn (to Us)! [Q038.044]

If you are confused then reads the translation (38:44) by Shakir.           

SHAKIR: And take in your hand a green branch and beat her with It(sic)and do not break your oath; surely We found him patient; most excellent the servant! Surely he was frequent m returning (to Allah).  

To save the embarrassment, Abdullah Yusuf Ali, wrote a foot note:

In his worst distress Job was patient and constant in faith, but apparently his wife was not. According to the Book of Job (ii, 9.10), “Then said his wife unto him, Dost though still retain thine integrity? Curse God, and die. But he said unto her, “Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not job sin with lips.” He must have said in his haste to the woman that he would beat her: he asked now to correct her with only a wisp of grass to show that he was gentle and humble as well as patient and constant (Ali, 1983, p. 1227, foot note 4202). 

If Qur’an is correct then Abdullah Yusuf Ali is wrong. The verse says clearly that Job beat her with a green branch. It did not use any adverb, such as, mildly or lightly. In fact, the beating could have been painful. 

Now, here is a hadith which tells us that a Muslim man does not need to provide any reason to beat his wife/wives. Allah has bestowed the absolute right to Muslim men to beat women, whenever and wherever they wish. Please note that this hadith has been narrated by Umar, the mighty Caliph of Islam. 

A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife... (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 11.2142). 

Book 11, Number 2142: Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife. 

Even Muhammad’s dearest wife, Aisha complained that the Muslim women received the worst beating from their husbands. 

Let us read the following hadith from Sahih Bukhari

A woman received worst beating from her impotent husband (Aisha: Muslim women were the worst sufferers); Muhammad approved the beating...(Sahih Bukhari, 7.72.715).

Volume 7, Book 72, Number 715: Narrated 'Ikrima:

Rifa'a divorced his wife whereupon 'AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. 'Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah's Apostle came, 'Aisha said, "I have not seen any woman (sic) suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!" When 'AbdurRahman heard that his wife had gone to the Prophet, he came with his two sons from another wife. She said, "By Allah! I have done no wrong to him but he is impotent and is as useless to me as this," holding and showing the fringe of her garment, 'Abdur-Rahman said, "By Allah, O Allah's Apostle! She has told a lie! I am very strong and can satisfy her but she is disobedient and wants to go back to Rifa'a." Allah's Apostle said, to her, "If that is your intention, then know that it is unlawful for you to remarry Rifa'a unless Abdur-Rahman has had sexual intercourse with you." Then the Prophet saw two boys with 'Abdur-Rahman and asked (him), "Are these your sons?" On that 'AbdurRahman said, "Yes." The Prophet said, "You claim what you claim (i.e. that he is impotent)? But by Allah, these boys resemble him as a crow resembles a crow,"  

Has Muhammad ever beaten any women? To answer this formidable question let us read these ahadith from Sahih Bukhari

A dignified woman, Jauniyaa (a princess) was brought to Muhammad to have sex with him but she was reluctant to give herself to Muhammad; Muhammad was angry and raised his hand to beat her... (Sahih Bukhari, 7.63.181, 182) 

Volume 7, Book 63, Number 181: Narrated Al-Awza:

I asked Az-Zuhri, "Which of the wives of the Prophet sought refuge with Allah from him?" He said "I was told by 'Ursa that 'Aisha said, 'When the daughter of Al-Jaun was brought to Allah's Apostle (as his bride) and he went near her, she said, "I seek refuge with Allah from you." He said, "You have sought refuge with The Great; return to your family." 

Volume 7, Book 63, Number 182: Narrated Abu Usaid:

We went out with the Prophet to a garden called Ash-Shaut till we reached two walls between which we sat down. The Prophet said, "Sit here," and went in (the garden). The Jauniyya (a lady from Bani Jaun) had been brought and lodged in a house in a date-palm garden in the home of Umaima bint An-Nu'man bin Sharahil, and her wet nurse was with her. When the Prophet entered upon her, he said to her, "Give me yourself (in marriage) as a gift." She said, "Can a princess give herself in marriage to an ordinary man?" The Prophet raised his hand to pat her so that she might become tranquil. She said, "I seek refuge with Allah from you." He said, "You have sought refuge with One Who gives refuge. Then the Prophet came out to us and said, "O Abu Usaid! Give her two white linen dresses to wear and let her go back to her family." Narrated Sahl and Abu Usaid: The Prophet married Umaima bint Sharahil, and when she was brought to him, he stretched his hand towards her. It seemed that she disliked that, whereupon the Prophet ordered Abu Usaid to prepare her and to provide her with two white linen dresses. (See Hadith No. 541).  

Please ignore the word ‘in marriage’ inserted inside the parentheses by the translator. Muhammad clearly wanted free sex from this princess (taken as a captive in an Islamic raid), as he asked her to surrender her person to him as a gift. In Islam one is not allowed even to look at an unrelated stranger woman. So how could Muhammad simply ‘pat’ her either on her shoulder, cheek or back?  

Muhammad even beat or punched his dearest wife, Aisha. Let us read this hadith from Sahih Muslim 

When sleeping with Aisha, Muhammad surreptitiously left his bed and went to the graveyard at Baqi; Aisha spied on him and followed Muhammad; when Muhammad learned Aisha’s misdeed he hit her (beat her) on her chest that caused much pain to Aisha…4.2127

Book 004, Number 2127:

Muhammad b. Qais said (to the people): Should I not narrate to you (a hadith of the Holy Prophet) on my authority and on the authority of my mother? We thought that he meant the mother who had given him birth. He (Muhammad b. Qais) then reported that it was 'A'isha who had narrated this: Should I not narrate to you about myself and about the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)? We said: Yes. She said: When it was my turn for Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) to spend the night with me, he turned his side, put on his mantle and took off his shoes and placed them near his feet, and spread the corner of his shawl on his bed and then lay down till he thought that I had gone to sleep. He took hold of his mantle slowly and put on the shoes slowly, and opened the door and went out and then closed it lightly. I covered my head, put on my veil and tightened my waist wrapper, and then went out following his steps till he reached Baqi'. He stood there and he stood for a long time. He then lifted his hands three times, and then returned and I also returned. He hastened his steps and I also hastened my steps. He ran and I too ran. He came (to the house) and I also came (to the house). I, however, preceded him and I entered (the house), and as I lay down in the bed, he (the Holy Prophet) entered the (house), and said: Why is it, O 'A'isha, that you are out of breath? I said: There is nothing. He said: Tell me or the Subtle and the Aware would inform me. I said: Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransom for you, and then I told him (the whole story). He said: Was it the darkness (of your shadow) that I saw in front of me? I said: Yes. He struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you? She said: Whatsoever the people conceal, Allah will know it. He said: Gabriel came to me when you saw me. He called me and he concealed it from you. I responded to his call, but I too concealed it from you (for he did not come to you), as you were not fully dressed. I thought that you had gone to sleep, and I did not like to awaken you, fearing that you may be frightened. He (Gabriel) said: Your Lord has commanded you to go to the inhabitants of Baqi' (to those lying in the graves) and beg pardon for them. I said: Messenger of Allah, how should I pray for them (How should I beg forgiveness for them)? He said: Say, Peace be upon the inhabitants of this city (graveyard) from among the Believers and the Muslims, and may Allah have mercy on those who have gone ahead of us, and those who come later on, and we shall, God willing, join you. 

Lastly, here is what Allah had told the Mumin Muslims during the last pilgrimage of Muhammad. 

Women are domestic animals; beat them (Tabari, 1990, pp. 9.112-114)  

This narration is quite lengthy. I shall quote only the relevant part. Please note that al-Tabari sources this hadith from this chain of narrators: 

Ibn Humayd—Salamah—Ibn Ishaq—‘Abdallah b. Abi Najih: 

                        ...“Now then, O people, you have a right over your wives and they have a right over you. You have [the right] that they should not cause anyone of whom you dislike to tread your beds, and that they should not commit any open indecency (fahishah). If they do, then God permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain from [evil], they have the right to their food and clothing in accordance with custom (bi’l-maruf). Treat women well, for they are [like] domestic animals (‘awan) with you and do not possess anything for themselves. You have taken them only as a trust from God, and you have made the enjoyment of their persons lawful by the word of God, so understand and listen to my words, O people. I have conveyed the Message, and have left you with something which, if you hold fast to it, you will never go astray; that is, the Book of God and the sunnah of His Prophet. Listen to my words, O people, for I have conveyed the message and understand  [it]. Know for certain that every Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, and that all Muslims are brethren. It is not lawful for a person [to take] from his brother except that which he has given him willingly, so do not wrong.

Allah hates the private parts of His believers, especially Muslimahs’ private parts

According to Islam, Allah had created every part of a human being. Without any of these parts our body cannot function efficiently, especially our private organs. Without them no creature on earth could survive. Surprisingly, Allah hates these crucial organs. His greatest distaste is reserved for the sexual organs of human beings, especially those of women. Allah just hates women’s sexual organs. That is why he commands all Muslimahs to be inside Burka, theIslamic mobile tent, you might call them.

Let us read a few ahadith on Allah’s great distaste for women’s pudenda. 

If a woman puts off her clothes in a place other than her house then she tears the veil between her and Allah… (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 31.3999) 

Sunaan Abu Dawud, Book 31, Number 3999: Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:

AbulMalih said: Some women of Syria came to Aisha. She asked them: From whom are you? They replied: From the people of Syria. She said: Perhaps you belong to the place where women enter hot baths (for washing ). The said: Yes. She said: I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say: If a woman puts off her clothes in a place other than her house, she tears the veil between her and Allah, the Exalted. 

You can show your private parts only to your wives and your slave women; in public no one should look at private parts of each other; when alone you should also show shyness to Allah, do not be naked when alone…(Sahih Bukhari, 31.4006). 

Aisha never saw Muhammad’s private parts (ibn Sa’d, p.1.179).

                        ‘Abd al-Hamid al-Himmani informed us on the authority of Sufyan at-Thawri, he on the authority of Mansur, he on the authority of Musa Ibn ‘Abd Allah Ibn Yazid, he on the authority of a woman, she on the authority of ‘Ayisha; she said: I never saw the (private parts) of the Prophet, may Allah bless him.

  Allah likes Muslims who sexually molest small child-girls

Allah allows Muslim men to sexually molest, child girls—even baby girls. Allah had allowed Muhammad to do this. So, this provision is applicable to all Muslims. 

The following verse in the Qur’an tells us that a Muslim man can marry a child girl who is yet to attain puberty, that is, who has not yet started her period.  

For menopause women, the waiting time for divorce is three months, same for women who are yet to menstruate (i.e., a Muslim man can have sex with a girl who has not yet started menstruating–a child-girl); for the pregnant women, the waiting time is until she delivers the child...65:4-5

Allah’s messenger, Muhammad did just this. He married a little girl, Aisha, his friend Abu Bakr’s daughter when she was merely six years old. Muhammad then had sex with her when she turned nine. In recent times much has been written about this child-bride of Muhammad. I shall just cite a few ahadith on Allah’s permission to marry a child-girl.

Khadijah died three years before Muhammad went to Medina; he then married Aisha when she was six and consummated the marriage when she turned nine...(Sahih Bukhari, 5.58.236

Muhammad married Aisha when she was six and she went to live with Muhammad when she was nine. Aisha’s mother prepared Aisha to live with Muhammad… (Sahih Muslim, 8.3309, 3310

Muhammad even wanted to marry a crawling baby-girl. Let us read what ibn Ishaq, the most authentic biographer of Muhammad wrote about this. 

                        (Suhayli, ii.79: In the riwaya of Yunus I. I recorded that the apostle saw her (Ummu’l–Fadl) when she was a baby crawling before him and said, ‘If she grows up and I am still alive I will marry her.’ But he died before she grew up and Sufyan b. al-Aswad b. ‘Abdu’l-Asad  al-Makhzumi married her and she bore him Rizq and Lubaba… (ibn Ishaq, 2001, p. 311). 

Here are a few ahadith that tell us how Muhammad used to fondle a child-girl Aisha. This is Allah’s permission to sexually molest a little girl—about nine or ten years old. 

During her period Muhammad used to fondle Aisha in bath … (Sahih Bukhari, 1.6.298

Muhammad put his cheek and chest in between the naked thighs of a menstruating Aisha... (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 1.0270

After sexual intercourse with Aisha and Maimuna, Muhammad washed his penis by pouring water from his left hand then he performed ablution… (Sahih Muslim, 3.06160620). 

After sexual intercourse Muhammad and Aisha used to take bath from the same container… (Sahih Muslim, 3.062506280629,0630). 

Allah will not look at those who trail their garments

Allah does not like people who dress in a royal manner.

Muhammad possessed deep hatred for all rulers and so does Allah. He even hated the manners in which they dressed, so much so, that anyone who dressed in the fashion of a king Muhammad cursed him. Here is a hadith from Sunaan Abu Dawud.

If anyone trails his garment arrogantly Allah will not look at him on the Resurrection Day… (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 3.32.4074).

This hadith is not available online. So let me quote it from the print version of Sunaan Abu Dawud.

Sunaan Abu Dawud, Vol.iii, Hadith number 4074:

Ibn ‘Umar reported the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) as saying: If anyone trails his garment arrogantly, Allah will not look at him on the Day of Resurrection. Then Abu Bakr said: One of the sides of my lower garment trails, but still I remain careful about it. He said: You are not of those who do so conceitedly.

Allah loves to terrorize infidels

We should not be surprised at Allah’s absolute love for the Islamist terrorists and plunderers. The contemporary history confirms what many historians and critics of Islam had been writing for many years. Most of the world ignored the truth—blaming those writers as Islamphobes at best and Islam bashers at worst. But look, what a strange twist of events. The occurrences of 9/11, 7/7, Madrid, Islamist hostage takings, Islamic beheadings…all these incidents just point a single truth—that those writers had been correct all along. During the last four years, after the Islamist terrorists’ perpetration of mayhem all around the globe, many articles have been composed, mostly in the Internet, to tell with firm conviction that if ever Allah liked a single act most dearly it is the act of Islamic terror, suicide bombings and the killing of innocent citizens (see Islamic beheading here and other Islamic barbarism here). Here are three verses from the Qur’an which unashamedly promise great booty for participating in Islamic terrorism. 

Allah casts terror in the hearts of unbelievers; they will reside in hell...3:151 

Go forth to fight alone or in parties all together (Islamist terrorists in Bangladesh, like Jamiatul Mujahidin use this verse to justify their terror actions)...4:71 

Strike terror in the hearts of the unbelievers; smite the unbelievers at their necks (i.e. behead the non-Muslims) and cut off their fingers...8:12

 
Allah loves bad breath of Muslims

Allah loves unhygienic Muslims. Allah has special favour for those Muslims who fast and resort to unhygienic oral health, that is: they do not brush teeth during fasting hour. Allah considers the foul smell emanating from such fasting believers as the smell of best perfume on earth. The smellier the breath, the more powerful the perfume is, believe it or not. This might explain why most Islamic Paradises have such enormous health and hygiene problems. It is Allah’s wish that the ardent Muslims must resort to unhygienic oral practices. Let us read the following hadith from Sahih Bukhari

The smell of the mouth of a fasting person is better to Allah than the smell of musk… (Sahih Bukhari, 7.72.811). 

Volume 7, Book 72, Number 811: Narrated Abu Huraira :

The Prophet said, "(Allah said), 'Every good deed of Adam's son is for him except fasting; it is for Me. and I shall reward (the fasting person) for it.' Verily, the smell of the mouth of a fasting person is better to Allah than the smell of musk."


Allah loves to see His believers (Muslims) fall ill and suffer torment, except when the Muslims kill non-Muslims

Earlier, we noted that Allah loves to frighten and torment the believers. One of the methods by which Allah inflicts torment to the believers is through disease, ill health, poor nutrition and what not. Have a look at the television programs depicting hungry, malnourished, skeletal, diseased children and adults. In almost all cases they will be from such Islamic Paradises as: Mali, Mauritania, Sudan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan—virtually all the Muslim or Muslim- majority countries save a few oil-reach Arab nations. We should not be surprised at this. Please read the following ahadith where Allah glorifies disease, murrains, pestilence, malnutrition, draught and poverty. These scourges of humanity are Allah’s blessings on His ardent believers. 

Allah may test believers by afflicting them with leprosy, baldness and blindness… (Sahih Muslim, 42.7071

Let us read another lengthy hadith from Sunaan Abu Dawud:

Allah likes illness; He expiates sins through illness (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 2.20.2083). 

Commenting on this hadith, the translator of Sunaan Abu Dawud admits that Allah does, indeed like illness and disease. Let us read his comment. 

                        Allah is so kind to Muslims that He remits their sins by their illness. The Prophet (may peace be upon him) has pointed out that a Muslim should bear illness cheerfully. It serves as atonement for his sins (Hasan, 2001, vol. ii, 
p. 879, foot note 2557). 

We may be surprised that Allah has a condition by which He might let a Muslim recover from His affliction of illness. The requirement is that the recovered person should go and kill non-Muslims. We might find this impossible to believe. But here it is, in writing. Let us read this hadith from Sunaan Abu Dawud. 

Book 20, Number 3101: Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: When a man comes to visit a sick person, he should say: O Allah, cure Thy servant, who may then wreak havoc on an enemy for Thy sake, or walk at a funeral for Thy sake. 

As usual, the translator of Sunaan Abu Dawud, in a foot note completely agrees with Allah, that one should pray for a Muslim to recover from illness so that he is ready to destroy non-Muslims (Ibid, p.884, foot note 2571).

 
Allah curses poets except those who praise Him and Muhammad

Allah’s great dislike for poets should not surprise us. We read before that Muhammad could not answer the Arab poets who composed better verses than Muhammad’s Qur’an. As a result of such calumnies from those insolent poets, Allah too was angry with them. Along with Muhammad, Allah cursed the poets and their poems. Here are some verses from the Qur’an to demonstrate Allah’s boundless ire, reserved especially for the poets who dared to challenge Muhammad. 

Poets are evils; those who follow poets are in error; they are mischievous and do not practice what they preach…26:224–226
YUSUFALI: And the Poets,- It is those straying in Evil, who follow them [026.224]
YUSUFALI: Seest thou not that they wander distracted in every valley?- [026.225]
YUSUFALI: And that they say what they practise not? [026.226]

But Allah also practices double standard. Frustrated with his feeble response to the giant Pagan poets of those days, Muhammad hastened to commission a poet, Hasan b. Thabit to compose poetry for Allah. This pleased Allah so much that He quickly sent down from sky a revelation approving Muhammad’s appointment of poets to lambaste the Arab bards. Mind you, Allah’s poets must have a deep hatred and vengeance towards the infidels. Only and only then Allah will like them. Mere composition of liturgy for Allah’s praise is not enough; the Islamic poets must compose poems declaring their deep hatred for the non-Muslims. 

Those poets who are believers, who fear Allah and are revengeful towards the unbelievers, are liked by Allah…26:227

 

YUSUFALI: Except those who believe, work righteousness, engage much in the remembrance of Allah, and defend themselves only after they are unjustly attacked. And soon will the unjust assailants know what vicissitudes their affairs will take! [026.227]

Allah likes the Arabian people; He sent Qur’an to them

Islam claims to be a universal religion. But is it really so? The following verse tells us that Allah sent Muhammad exclusively to the Arabs. It was because Allah claims that before Muhammad no Prophet was sent to the Arabs. Thus, with so much love in mind for the Arabs, Allah sent down Muhammad as a mercy to them.

Let us read verse 32:3

The Qur’an is not forged; it is a warner to people who had no apostle before Muhammad (that is, Qur’an is for the people of Arabian Peninsula)...32:3 

YUSUFALI: Or do they say, "He has forged it"? Nay, it is the Truth from thy Lord, that thou mayest admonish a people to whom no warner has come before thee: in order that they may receive guidance. [032.003]

Thus, the Qur’an, strictly speaking, is only for the people of Arabian Peninsula, if we are to believe Allah’s words.


Allah loves to curse the Jews and the Christians

With so much daily hatred aired in television news, this should not surprise anyone. We witness, almost on a daily basis, how Allah’s soldiers (Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, al–Qaeda, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaishe Muhammad and so on) spits out venom towards all the Kafirs, especially the Jews and the Christians. Each and every failure in the Islamic world is ascribed to the deep conspiracy of the Zionists and the infidels. The Islamic world pretends, as if the non-Muslim world owes them a living. One might assume that once the 
un-Islamic world heeds to all the demands of the Islamic world, the unbound rage of Islam will subside. We must perish this thought, for the limitless Islamic hatred is for eternity. Even when the infidels accede to all the demands and satisfy all the hunger of the Islamic world the hatred will not go away. Here are the reasons. Please refer to the Qur’an where Allah terms the Jews and infidels as pigs, monkeys (5:60) and worse than cattle and animals (24:44). 

Here are a few ahadith which express Allah’s unremitting hatred for the Kafirs, especially for the Jews and the Christians. 

Muhammad requested Allah to curse the Jews and the Christians because they built places of worship at the graves of their Prophets… (Sahih Bukhari, 1.8.427, 428

Volume 1, Book 8, Number 427: Narrated 'Aisha and 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:

When the last moment of the life of Allah's Apostle came he started putting his 'Khamisa' on his face and when he felt hot and short of breath he took it off his face and said, "May Allah curse the Jews and Christians for they built the places of worship at the graves of their Prophets." The Prophet was warning (Muslims) of what those had done. 

The Jews and the Christians used to pray Asr prayer but Allah gave them less rewards than the Muslims … (Sahih Bukhari, 1.10.532) 

Volume 1, Book 10, Number 532: Narrated Salim bin 'Abdullah:

My father said, "I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'The period of your stay as compared to the previous nations is like the period equal to the time between the 'Asr prayer and sunset. The people of the Torah were given the Torah and they acted (upon it) till mid-day then they were exhausted and were given one Qirat (of gold) each. And then the people of the Gospel were given the Gospel and they acted (upon it) till the 'Asr prayer then they were exhausted and were! given one Qirat each. And then we were given the Qur'an and we acted (upon it) till sunset and we were given two Qirats each. On that the people of both the scriptures said, 'O our Lord! You have given them two Qirats and given us one Qirat, though we have worked more than they.' Allah said, 'Have I usurped some of your right?' They said, 'No.' Allah said: "That is my blessing I bestow upon whomsoever I wish."

Allah likes dirty feet and unkempt hair

If we are perturbed at Allah’s fascination for bad breath, poverty, illness, disease, torment and illiteracy, we should not be taken aback that Allah loves dirty Muslims. In fact, He has reserved His unlimited blessing and mercy for those Muslims who have dirty feet and dishevelled hair. The dustier the feet the better they are—Paradise is guaranteed. 

If feet are covered with dust for Allah's cause then Allah will them from hell-fire... (Sahih Bukhari, 2.13.30)

Volume 2, Book 13, Number 30: Narrated Abu 'Abs:

I heard the Prophet saying, "Anyone whose feet are covered with dust in Allah's cause, shall be saved by Allah from the Hell-Fire." 

Allah loves dirty, dusty feet, dishevelled hair, beggars and mendicants. A visit to any Islamic country will confirm this. Pay a visit to an Islamic Paradises, like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sudan, Nigeria or Mauritania and you will be amazed at the number of beggars who are engaged in this profession for the sake of Allah. Let us see why this is so. We will read the following hadith. 

Allah loves people with dishevelled hair who are driven away from door… (Sahih Muslim, 40.6836)

Book 040, Number 6836:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Many a people with dishevelled hair are driven away from the door (but they are so pious) that if they are to swear in the name of Allah, He would definitely fulfil that. 

While reading the above hadith please ignore the comment inside brackets. Embarrassed, the translator has introduced them. 

Even Allah’s courier, Gabriel, had a dirty, dusty head. Aisha confirmed this. The eminent Islamist historian, Baladhuri writes: 

                        Gabriel appears to Prophet. ‘Abd-al-Wahid ibn Ghiyath from ‘Aishah: When the Prophet was done with the battle of al-Ahzab, he went into the wash-room in order to wash. There Gabriel appeared to him and said, “Muhammad, thou hast laid down thy arms; but we have not yet. Hasten against he banu‑Kuraizah.” ‘Aishah upon this said to the Prophet: “O Prophet of Allah, I have seen him [Gabriel] through a hole in the door with the dust around his head! (Baladhuri, 2002, p. 40).”

Allah likes Muslims with long, hanging hair

Yes, that’s right. Why should Allah like such hippy–fashioned, rock–style singer-like performers? It is because Muhammad kept long hair. Muhammad loved to copy the biblical Prophets—in all aspects of them. He even copied their hair-styles, especially the hair-style of Moses. See Muhammad’s pictures here

Let us read these two ahadith. 

Muhammad used to copy the people of the scriptures with hanging hairs.... (Sahih Bukhari, 4.56.758) 

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 758: Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

Allah's Apostle used to let his hair hang down while the infidels used to part their hair. The people of the Scriptures were used to letting their hair hang down and Allah's Apostle liked to follow the people of the Scriptures in the matters about which he was not instructed otherwise. Then Allah's Apostle parted his hair.  

Muhammad used to copy the people of the scriptures in matters where there was no order from Allah... (Sahih Bukhari, 7.72.799) 

Volume 7, Book 72, Number 799: Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet used to copy the people of the Scriptures in matters in which there was no order from Allah. The people of the Scripture used to let their hair hang down while the Pagans used to part their hair. So the Prophet let his hair hang down first, but later on he parted it.

Allah loves to behead and burn people

Allah’s method of killing people is either by burning or by beheading. This should not surprise us as we watch in television how Allah’s minions are beheading hostages in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

Muhammad ordered to kill someone and not to burn him because only Allah punishes with fire… (Sahih Bukhari, 4.52.259) 

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 259: Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle sent us in a mission (i.e. an army-unit) and said, "If you find so-and-so and so-and-so, burn both of them with fire." When we intended to depart, Allah's Apostle said, "I have ordered you to burn so-and-so and so-and-so, and it is none but Allah Who punishes with fire, so, if you find them, kill them."  

Even Baladhuri confirms that Allah likes beheading. And as the head is severed from the neck, a good Muslim should shout ‘Allahu Akbar’. Allah loves those Muslims who behead infidels in this manner. 

Allah likes beheading—Kais cut off the head of al-Aswad and shouted ‘Allah is great’ (Baladhuri, 2002, p. 161] 

See Islamic beheading here.

Allah loves to kill apostates; He is scared of them

This item should be no news at all. With the apostasy case of Abdur Rahman in Afghanistan, the world has learnt more about ‘peaceful Islam’ than hundreds of years of pen–pushing by the secularist writers about the dreadful, draconian and utterly inhumane provision in Islam–to kill whoever leaves Islam. Embarrassed by this world-wide condemnation of such inhuman provision in the ‘religion of tolerance’, the western-resident, western–educated, so-called moderate Muslims are now in the damage control business. They are crying: Islam is peaceful Islam is tolerant, no compulsion in religion…so on, so forth. 

Truly, there could be no hypocrisy greater than the game played by these Islamist apologists. Please be assured that their tune will change, 180 degrees, when they visit an Islamic Paradise or when they return to their Islamic homeland. Because, in their Islamic home countries they will be in trouble with Islamic authorities for propagating such a peaceful misdemeanour of Islam. We can challenge them to face those clerics and Sharia law-makers in the Islamic countries. These Islamists, by living in the security of infidel territories, take full advantage of the secular laws and freedom of expression to play the hide-and-seek game with Islam.

Below, I have summarised a few verses from the Qur’an which clearly call for the murder of the deserters of Islam:

Seize and slay the renegades (i.e., apostates) wherever you find them (death for the apostates as per Baydawi; ref. Leaving Islam, p. 17, as per the translator of Noble Qur’an kill those who reject Islam after accepting it)...4:89 

If the enemies violate their oaths (i.e., if they apostatize or do not accept Islam) and taunt the faith then fight them (i.e., death for the apostates as per Maudoodi; ref. Leaving Islam, p. 18)...9:12 

Covenant with Allah must be honoured; deserters (apostates) cannot escape death or being killed (death for the apostates)...33:15-16 

Allah curses the hypocrites, diseased hearts; they are not able to stay as Muhammad's neighbour; wherever they are found they will be seized and slain mercilessly (i.e., kill the apostates and the hypocrites) …33:60-61 

There is a terrible penalty for those who dispute about Allah after accepting Islam (apostates)...42:16

And here are a few ahadith on how apostasy against Islam was treated during Muhammad’s time. 

Muhammad ordered to kill the apostates; if somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him’) …4.52.260 

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 260: Narrated Ikrima:

Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn 'Abbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, 'Don't punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.' " 

Khalid killed some apostates and ordered those taken as captives to be killed too... (Sahih Bukhari, 5.59.628). 

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 628: Narrated Salim's father:

The Prophet sent Khalid bin Al-Walid to the tribe of Jadhima and Khalid invited them to Islam but they could not express themselves by saying, "Aslamna (i.e. we have embraced Islam)," but they started saying "Saba'na! Saba'na (i.e. we have come out of one religion to another)." Khalid kept on killing (some of) them and taking (some of) them as captives and gave every one of us his Captive. When there came the day then Khalid ordered that each man (i.e. Muslim soldier) should kill his captive, I said, "By Allah, I will not kill my captive, and none of my companions will kill his captive." When we reached the Prophet, we mentioned to him the whole story. On that, the Prophet raised both his hands and said twice, "O Allah! I am free from what Khalid has done." 

An apostate was killed for no reason (long hadith, click to read)... (Sahih Bukhari, 5.59.630). 

M'uadh would not sit down until the apostate was killed (long hadith, click the link)... (Sahih Bukhari, 9.84.58

Whoever changed his Islamic religion must be killed... (Sahih Bukhari, 9.84.57)

Volume 9, Book 84, Number 57: Narrated 'Ikrima:

Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to 'Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn 'Abbas who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah's Apostle forbade it, saying, 'Do not punish anybody with Allah's punishment (fire).' I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah's Apostle, 'Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'"

Allah loves pebbles and stones, especially odd numbers of them; they are His mercy

We read in a previous section that during his pilgrimage to Mecca, how passionately Muhammad had kissed the Black Stone of Ka’ba. This was done because Muhammad ardently believed that Allah is represented by the stone of Ka’ba. Muhammad’s fascination for stones and pebbles was unbound. He even recommended using stone after defecating. To Muhammad, pebbles are mercy from Allah. He even forbade the worshippers to remove pebbles from mosques. Here are two ahadith demonstrating Allah’s love for stones and pebbles.

Do not remove pebbles while praying; pebbles are mercy of Allah... (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 3.0945)

Book 3, Number 0945:

Narrated AbuDharr:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: When one of you gets up to pray, he must not remove pebbles, for mercy is facing him.

The above hadith tells us that Allah, truly, is represented by pebbles.

But Muhammad did not hesitate to tell his people to use stone to cleanse their private parts. This must reflect on the dual character of Allah/Muhammad.

Use odd number of stones to clean your private parts... (Sahih Bukhari, 1. 4.162)

Volume 1, Book 4, Number 162:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Whoever performs ablution should clean his nose with water by putting the water in it and then blowing it out, and whoever cleans his private parts with stones should do it with odd number of stones."

Use odd number of pebbles after the call of nature… (Sahih Muslim, 2.045804600463).

Use odd number of stones to clean private parts as well as casting pebbles at the Jamras… (Sahih Muslim, 7.2982)

In ibn Majah we read that Allah does love odd numbers. Here is a hadith on this

Allah loves odd numbers.

Sunaan Ibn Majah, Vol. v, Hadith number 3861:

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Allah has ninety–nine names, one hundred but one. Verily He is Odd (in number i.e. One) and loves odd number. He who commits them to memory enters the Heaven; and these are (note: the names of Allah are then listed: the italics and the underline words are mine).

Allah loves to inflict cruelty to animals and shed their blood.

Islamic ritual to slaughter animal for their meat is mind-boggling, if not outright disgusting and cruel. Every year, hundreds and thousands of animals (camels, cows, and sheep) are slaughtered for no reason other than securing Allah’s love and blessing. Non-Muslims will never understand why such unneeded shedding of animal-blood is necessary. Here I am quoting two ahadith which tell us that Allah do, indeed, love the blood of sacrificial animals.

Allah loves most the animal slaughtered during hajj… (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 2.10.1761)

Sunaan Abu Dawud, Vol. ii, Book 10, Hadith Number 1761:

‘Abd Allah b. Quri reported the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) as saying: The greatest day in Allah’s sight is the day of sacrifice and next the day of resting which Isa said on the authority of Thawr is the second day. Five or six sacrificial camels were brought to the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) and they began to draw near to see which he would sacrifice first. When they fell down dead, he said something in a low voice, which I could not catch. So I asked: What did he say? He was told that he had said: Anyone who wants can cut of his piece.

Killing animal during hajj is the most excellent… (Ibn Majah, 4.2924)

Sunaan Ibn Majah, Vol. iv, Hadith Number 2924:

Abu Bakr as–Siddiq (Allah be pleased with him) is reported to have said that Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was questioned, “Which of deeds is the most excellent?” He said, “Raising voice in talbiya and slaughtering sacrificial animals.

Torture a camel before slaughter… (Ibn Majah, 4.3097).

Sunaan Ibn Majah, Vol. IV, Hadith Number 3097:

Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) is reported to have said that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) made a mark on a camel or cow destined for sacrifice at Makka in the right side of the hump and removed the blood from it.

And ‘Ali (Allah be pleased with him) said in the hadith transmitted by him: (He did so) in Dhul-Hulaifa and put on two sandals around (camel’s neck).

The translator of Ibn Majah, Muhammad Tufail Ansari, commenting on this hadith writes the following note:

Ash’ara means: he slain (sic), killed. Here it means: He marked a beast destined for sacrifice at Makkah by stabbing in the right side of its hump so that blood flowed from it in order that it might be known to be destined for sacrifice (Ansari, 2003, p. 333, foot note 1).

After slaughter dip sandals in animal’s blood…(Ibn Majah, 4.3106).

Sunaan Ibn Majah, Vol. IV, Hadith Number 3106:

Najiyat ul-Khuza’I (Allah be pleased him) ‘Amr in his hadith said: He was the keeper of the animal of sacrifice of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is reported to have said, “I asked Allah’s Messenger, what should I do with the animal of sacrifice some part of which is destroyed?” He replied, “Slaughter it and dip its sandal (hanging around its neck) in its blood, strike its side and leave it among the people so that they may eat it.”

Blood of animal is very dear to Allah… (Ibn Majah, 4.3126).

Sunaan Ibn Majah, Vol. iv, Hadith Number 3126:

‘Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) reported to have said that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Adam’s son does not do a deed on the Day of Nahr which is dearer to Allah, the Mighty and Glorious, than the shedding of blood and it (the sacrifice) will come on the Day of Resurrection with its horns, cloven hoofs and hair and the blood gets a rank from Allah, the Mighty and Glorious, before it falls on the ground, so please the soul with it.

Muhammad Tufail Ansari, the translator of Sunaan Ibn Majah writes that the meaning of Nahr is slaughtering the camels or other animals or shedding of blood; Nahr is done by cutting carotid artery at the root of the neck. (Ibid, p. 351, foot note 2).

Slaughter an animal to please Allah…(Ibn Majah, 4.3167).

Sunaan Ibn Majah, Vol. iv, Hadith Number 3167:

Nubaisha is reported to have said, “A man called Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said, “We used to offer ‘atira during Ignorance (sic) in the month of Rajab. What do you command in regard to it?” He said, “Slaughter it for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Glorious in a month whichever it is; and do good and feed (the needy).” The (audience) said, “Allah’s Messenger, we used to offer fara’a during the Ignorance. What do you command us about it?” He said, “For every grazing animal, there is fara’a which your cattle nourish. When it (is stout enough) to bear the burden, then slaughter it and give its flesh insadaqa (charity)- I think he said: to the way-farer for it is good. 

Allah hates kings

In previous part, we noted that Allah is a King but He dislikes this title for others. The reason for Allah’s dislike for the title ‘King’ is understandable. It was because Muhammad hated kings and rulers. They were potential threats to him. So, even though Allah is the King of kings and has power of all things on the heavens and earth, He still feels threatened by the temporal kings, simply because Muhammad also felt that way.

      Let us read this hadith from Sunaan Abu Dawud.

The vilest name to Allah is Malik al-Amlak (king of kings)… (Abu Dawud, 3.41.4943)

Sunaan Abu Dawud, Vol.iii, Book 41, Hadith Number 4943:

Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet (may peace be upon him) as saying: The vilest in Allah’s sight on the Day of Resurrection will be that of a man Malik a-Amlak (meaning king of kings, foot note 4322). [Note: the italic and underlined text inside the parentheses is mine.]

Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by Shu’aib b. Abi Hamzah from Abi a-Zinad through a different chain of narrators. This version has the words “Akna’ Ismin” (most obscene name) instead of “akhna ismin” (the vilest name). 

Allah loves illiteracy and poverty; He hates education and prosperity

Sahih Bukhari tells us that Muhammad was sent as the guardian of the illiterates. Allah loves illiterate people and he hates the educated people. Let us read this hadith.

Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 34, Number 335: Narrated Ata bin Yasar:

I met Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As and asked him, "Tell me about the description of Allah's Apostle which is mentioned in Torah (i.e. Old Testament.") He replied, 'Yes. By Allah, he is described in Torah with some of the qualities attributed to him in the Quran as follows:

"O Prophet! We have sent you as a witness (for Allah's True religion) And a giver of glad tidings (to the faithful believers), And a warner (to the unbelievers) And guardian of the illiterates. You are My slave and My messenger (i.e. Apostle). I have named you "Al-Mutawakkil" (who depends upon Allah). You are neither discourteous, harsh Nor a noise-maker in the markets And you do not do evil to those Who do evil to you, but you deal With them with forgiveness and kindness. Allah will not let him (the Prophet) Die till he makes straight the crooked people by making them say: "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah," With which will be opened blind eyes And deaf ears and enveloped hearts."

In fact Allah’s love for illiteracy is so intense that He has promised the first entry to Paradise to the illiterate Muslims and the last entry to the Muslims who are educated.

Let us read the following hadith from IbnMajah.

Sunaan Ibn Majah Vol. v, Hadith Number 4290:

Ibn ‘Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him said: We are the last umma to (come) and the first umma who will be reckoned. It will be said, “Where is the unlettered umma and its Prophet? We are the last(umma) and the first (umma) to be reckoned and admitted in the Paradise.

According to al-Zawa’id its isnad is sahih and its authorities are reliable. Abu Salam is Musa b. Islamil al-Basri al-Tabudhani

Not only that Allah loves illiteracy, because his most beloved person, Muhammad was illiterate, Allah also loves poverty. He vehemently hates wealth, prosperity and the rich people. Let us read this hadith.

Sahih Muslim, Book 001, Number 0264:

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Malih that Ubaidullah b. Ziyad visited Ma'qil b. Yasar in his illness. Ma'qil said to him: I am narrating to you a hadith which I would have never narrated to you had I not been in death-bed. I heard Allah's apostle (may peace be upon him) say: A ruler who has been entrusted with the affairs of the Muslims but he makes no endeavours (for the material and moral uplift) and does not sincerely mean (their welfare) would not enter Paradise along with them

Commenting on the above hadith the translator of Sahih Muslim writes that Allah hates monarchs, loves the poor (Siddiqi, 2004 vol.i, p. 99, foot note 250).

Imam Ghazali, in his famous book, Ihya’ Ulum al-Din (Revival of Religious Learnings) writes that prayer, a big family and poverty will ensure Paradise (al-Ghazali, 1993, p. 2.28). To promote further admiration of poverty among the Muslims, he writes that Allah and His Prophet praised one who remains satisfied with poverty (ibid, p. 3.181). Ghazali even goes to the extent to exhort Muslims to condemn wealth but praise poverty; poverty is better than wealth, he writes (ibid, p. 3.201).

With such glorifications of poverty and illiteracy, there should be no surprise that most Islamic countries are desperately poor; their population largely illiterate, ill-educated or in many cases un-educated.

Allah does not want to fight by himself but loves those who fight for Him

The holy Qur’an is replete with verses which tell us about the colossal and mighty power of Allah. However, it is surprising, when it comes to fighting the infidels Allah is totally helpless. He is precariously dependent upon human beings to chastise (i.e. to kill) the infidels. Sahih Bukhari tells us that Muhammad exhorted his followers that if they fight for Islam they are, in reality Allah’s soldiers, fighting for Allah.

He who fights for Islam fights for Allah… (Sahih Bukhari, 1.3.125)

Sahih Bukhari, Volume i, Book 3, Number 125: Narrated Abu Musa:

A man came to the Prophet and asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What kind of fighting is in Allah's cause? (I ask this), for some of us fight because of being enraged and angry and some for the sake of his pride and haughtiness." The Prophet raised his head (as the questioner was standing) and said, "He who fights so that Allah's Word (Islam) should be superior, then he fights in Allah's cause."

Allah likes memorization without understanding

Memorization is the forte of Islam. From the very childhood, when Muslim children learn the Qur’an they are forced to memorise the Qur’anic verses, even though they understand nothing of the contents of those verses. This had always been the tradition of Islamic learning—the method of rote learning and memorisation. In reality, Allah really discourages Muslims to use their brains, even when Allah gave them this precious organ.

There are many ahadith where Allah assiduously glorifies memorization and promises the diehard believers the taste of Paradise for simply memorising His many names. Let us read one such hadith.

If you memorize the ninety-nine names of Allah, you will go to Paradise … (Sahih Muslim, 35.6475).

Sahih Muslim, Book 035, Number 6475:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There are ninety-nine names of Allah; he who commits them to memory would get into Paradise. Verily, Allah is Odd (He is one, and it is an odd number) and He loves odd number. And in the narration of Ibn 'Umar (the words are):" He who enumerated them."

If we thought that the above hadith is outdated then here is a surprise. The eminent Imam of Saudi Arabia, Shaikh ibn Uthaiman issued a fatwa that Allah likes memorisation without understanding. In answering a question he told the questioner the virtue of memorisation. Here is this fatwa:

Question 334: I continually read the Quran but I do not understand its meaning. Will I be rewarded by Allah for that?

Response: The Noble Quran is full of blessings. Allah has said, “[This is] a Book which we have sent down to you, full of blessings that they may ponder over its Verses, and that men of understanding may remember” (Sad 29)

A person is rewarded for reciting the Quran regardless of whether he comprehends it or not. But a believer must not recite the Quran without understanding it while he is responsible to apply it. If a person wants to learn medicine, for example, he studies the books of medicine, he will not benefit from them until he understands their meanings and explanations. In fact, he will be very desirous to take advantage of every opportunity to understand their meanings in order to apply them. If that is the case with books like medicine, what must be the case with respect to reading the Book of Allah without thought and understanding of its meaning while it is a cure for what is in the hearts and an admonition for mankind? This is why the Companions would not go beyond ten verses until they understood the meanings of those verses with respect to what they contain of knowledge and how to apply them. A person is rewarded and recompensed for reciting the Quran whether he understands it or not. However, he must be most anxious and use every opportunity to understand its meaning and to take that meaning from the trustworthy scholars, like [studying] the Qur’anic commentaries by ibn Jarir al-Tabari, ibn Katheer and others. (ibn al-Musnad, 1996, p. 362).

In case you are confused: what this Imam is saying is that for most ordinary folks, memorisation of the Qur’an is good enough—understanding is secondary or not necessary at all. Furthermore, he qualifies the comprehension of the Qur’an to the Islamic interpreters only. We must not use our own brain to understand these verses, even though the Qur’an is adamant that it is clear and easy to understand (2:2425:1519:9724:3428:1–2)

Allah likes to brand kafirs on their noses.

Here is a verse from the Qur’an which says that Allah will brand the unbelievers on their noses who challenge Him (68:16). Islamically speaking, this will be done to identify the unbelievers on the Day of Judgment.

YUSUFALI: Soon shall We brand (the beast) on the snout! [Q068.016]

The kafirs should note that Allah loves call them beasts.

Allah does not like agriculture; He prefers plundering as His profession

That’s right. If we are wondering why there is so much bloodshed, mayhem, beheading and anarchy in the Islamic world, perhaps the above caption will explain the reason for Islamic bloodletting around the globe. It is quite simple to comprehend Allah’s dislike for an agrarian society: Muhammad and his followers had scanty experience with agricultural production. His livelihood was totally dependent upon raids and plunder.

Let us read the following hadith from Sahih Bukhari to learn about Allah’s great disdain for agriculture and agricultural implements.

Allah does not like agriculture; He prefers jihad and plunder… (Sahih Bukhari, 3.39.514)

Sahih Bukhari, Volume iii, Book 39, Number 514:

Narrated Abu Umama al-Bahili:

I saw some agricultural equipments (sic) and said: "I heard the Prophet saying: "There is no house in which these equipment enters except that Allah will cause humiliation to enter it."

Commenting on the above hadith, Dr Muhammad Muhsin Khan, the translator of Sahih Bukhari writes:

This Hadith indicates that the profession of cultivation is often of oppressive humiliation especially under the feudal system. By indulging in this work, one may neglect Jihad in Allah’s Cause and other important Allah’s obligation. It is also said that this Hadith is concerned with those living near the enemies. If they got busy in agriculture and left Jihad , the enemies might overcome and humiliate them. Of course, the Hadith is not to be taken literally. Farming is not undesirable itself but we should beware the results of indulging too much in it (Fath Al–Bari, Vol 5, Page 402) (al-Zubaidi, 1994, p. 505).

Let us now read a few ahadith which say unmistakably that Allah prefers that the Muslims engage in raid and plunder as their principal means of livelihood. Muhammad did this and so it is almost compulsory for all Muslims.

That, the major means of livelihood for the Muslims in Medina was from the proceeds of plunder and the forced Jizya tax on non-Muslims, can be confirmed from the following Hadith in Sahih Bukhari:

Volume 4, Book 53, Number 388:

Narrated Juwairiya bin Qudama At-Tamimi:

We said to 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, O Chief of the believers! Advise us." He said, "I advise you to fulfil Allah's Convention (made with the Dhimmis) as it is the convention of your Prophet and the source of the livelihood of your dependents (i.e. the taxes from the Dhimmis.)."

[Please note that this Hadith has been removed by the compiler from the summarised Translated (by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan) version of Sahih Al-Bukhari. However this Hadithis available in the Internet version of Translation of Sahih Al-Bukhari]

How did Muhammad earn his living in Medina? What job did he do? In what occupation was he employed? What business was he involved in? All these questions remain unanswered. Except for the following Hadith from Sahih Bukhari, all the Sunna, the Sahih Ahadith, the Sirah(biography) never mention of any form of acceptable and/or dignified profession/occupation that Muhammad engaged in to support himself and his retinue of ever increasing number of wives and concubines: Here is that incredible Hadith:

EXACT QUOTE AND FOOTNOTE, VOL-IV (88) CHAPTER.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet (SA) said, "My livelihood is under the shade of my spear,(1) and he who disobeys my orders will be humiliated by paying Jizya"

Footnote:- (1) "Under the shade of my spear" means "from war booty".

That’s right, Muhammad, the messenger of Allah earned his livelihood by plunder; the above hadith is very clear on this. Please note that this hadith has been carefully removed from the Internet version of Sahih Bukhari. This  
hard-to-believe hadith can only be found in the original print version of the Translation of Sahih Bukhari by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan. [Ref: The Translation of the Meanings of Sahih Al-Bukhari, Arabic-English, Vol.IV (page 104) by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, Islamic University—Al-Medina Al-Munauwara] Please consult the reference provided if you have doubt. It is also interesting to note that in the footnote the translator explains the meaning of ‘spear’ as ‘booty’.

Here is another hadith, also from Sahih Bukhari, which says that Allah made Muhammad rich through war and conquest (booty from raid and plunder).

Sahih Bukhari Volume iii, Book 37, Number 495: Narrated Abu Huraira:

Whenever a dead man in debt was brought to Allah's Apostle he would ask, "Has he left anything to repay his debt?" If he was informed that he had left something to repay his debts, he would offer his funeral prayer, otherwise he would tell the Muslims to offer their friend's funeral prayer. When Allah made the Prophet wealthy through conquests, he said, "I am more rightful than other believers to be the guardian of the believers, so if a Muslim dies while in debt, I am responsible for the repayment of his debt, and whoever leaves wealth (after his death) it will belong to his heirs. "

Allah loves Muslims who, ignoring the sensitivity of their wives engages in sex with their sex-slaves

I shall finish this prolix part by quoting the following verse from the Qur’an. Please note that Allah sent down this verse when Muhammad took in the quarter of his wife Hafsah his sex-slave, Mariah. He was caught red-handed right in the bed of Hafsah while having sex with this vivacious sex-slave (Mariah). A furious Hafshah forced Muhammad to apologise to her with the promise that he will never sleep with Mariah again. However, Allah was not pleased with Muhammad’s decision. So Allah quickly admonished Muhammad for refraining himself from the enjoyment which he had made absolutely halal for him (i. e. to have sex with his concubines whenever and wherever he wished). Allah even permitted Muhammad to negate on his pledge to his wives (in this case Hafsah and Aisha).

YUSUFALI: O Prophet! Why holdest thou to be forbidden that which Allah has made lawful to thee? Thou seekest to please thy consorts. But Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [Q 066.001]

Slave-girls as sexual property in the Quran

James M. Arlandson


Would you join a religion that permitted men to have sex with their slave-girls throughout their enslavement—if this religion codified this act in its holy book?

Many persons in the West (and elsewhere) who convert to Islam are women. I just got an email from a Muslim woman who said she converted to Islam two years ago. Would women do this if they knew about ALL of this religion? Reasonable women should stop and think a second time before taking this serious step (but a reversible one, albeit punishable by death in many Islamic countries).

Islam goes more deeply than just the benign Five Pillars. It has many unpleasant truths lurking in its sacred texts. The goal of this article is to bring out yet another of these truths, so people can make fully informed decisions from all of the facts.

Would the true God inspire the following verses six hundred years after Jesus showed us a better way?

Sex with slave-girls in times of peace

Sura (Chapter) 23 was revealed during Muhammad’s life in Mecca before his Hijrah or Emigration from his home city to Medina in AD 622. During the early years of his ministry, he never waged war on anyone, so these were times of peace, although he suffered from a measure of persecution. For more information on the historical and the literary topical contexts of Sura 23, click here.

The Quran in Sura 23:5-6 says:

[Most certainly true believers] . . . guard their private parts scrupulously, 6 except with regard to their wives and those who are legally in their possession, for in that case they shall not be blameworthy. (Sayyid Abul A’La Maududi, The Meaning of the Quran, vol. 3, p. 237)

The key words are "those who are legally in their possession." Maududi (d. 1979) is a highly respected commentator on the Quran, and he interprets the plain meaning of the clause, saying that sex with slave-girls is lawful.

Maududi writes:

Two categories of women have been excluded from the general command of guarding the private parts: (a) wives, (b) women who are legally in one’s possession, i.e. slave-girls. Thus the verse clearly lays down the law that one is allowed to have sexual relation with one’s slave-girl as with one’s wife, the basis being possession and not marriage. If marriage had been the condition, the slave-girl also would have been included among the wives, and there was no need to mention them separately. (Ibid. p. 241, note 7)

The main point in this section, which Maududi overlooks or refuses to criticize, is that Muhammad himself endorses not only the entire institution of slavery, but also sex between male owners and their female slaves within this institution. But how can he and devout Muslims criticize their prophet without seriously damaging Islam? But Muslims must do this, if they think clearly and critically, and for the good of humanity.

It should be noted that Sura 70:29-30, also revealed in Mecca, uses nearly the identical words as Sura 23:5-6. Men must guard their private parts from everyone but their wives and slave-girls, meaning that men may have sex with both "categories" (Maududi’s word).

If readers would like to see these verses in multiple translations, they should go to this websiteThis one has three translations, and this one is funded by the Saudi royal family.

Sex with slave-girls in times of war

Now Muhammad has emigrated from Mecca to Medina. By the time Sura 4 is revealed, where our next Quranic verse is found, he has fought many wars and skirmishes. For example, he fights the Meccans in the Battle of Badr in AD 624 and again the Meccans at the Battle of Uhud in AD 625. He also exiles the Jewish tribes of Qaynuqa in AD 624 and Nadir in AD 625. He carries forward this policy of sex between male owners and their female slaves to his new city of Medina, with the added twist of enslaving women prisoners of war and permitting his soldiers to have sex with them. For more information on the historical and literary topical contexts of this next sura, please click here.

The Quran in Sura 4:24 says:

And forbidden to you are wedded wives of other people except those who have fallen in your hands (as prisoners of war) . . . (Maududi, vol. 1, p. 319). (See also Suras 4:3 and 33:50)

Thus, women captives are sometimes forced to marry their Muslim masters, regardless of the marital status of the women. That is, the masters are allowed to have sex with the enslaved human property.

Maududi says in his comment on the verse that it is lawful for Muslim holy warriors to marry women prisoners of war even when their husbands are still alive. But what happens if the husbands are captured with their wives? Maududi cites a school of law that says Muslims may not marry them, but two other schools say that the marriage between the captive husbands and wives is broken (note 44).

But why would a debate over this cruelty emerge? The answer is obvious for those who understand simple justice. No sex should take place between married female prisoners of war and their captors. In fact, no sex should take place between women captives and their Muslim overlords under any circumstance.

This sexual injustice is reprehensible, but Allah wills it nonetheless—the Quran says so.

Predictably, the hadith perpetuate this Quran-inspired immorality.

The hadith are the reports of Muhammad’s actions and words outside of the Quran. The most reliable collector and editor is Bukhari (d. 870).

The hadith demonstrate that Muslims jihadists actually have sex with the captured women, whether or not they are married. In the following passage, Khumus is one-fifth of the spoils of war.

Ali, Muhammad’s cousin and son-in-law, just finished a relaxing bath. Why?

The Prophet sent Ali to Khalid to bring the Khumus (of the booty) and . . . Ali had taken a bath (after a sexual act with a slave-girl from the Khumus).

What was Muhammad’s response to the person who hated Ali for this sexual act?

Do you hate Ali for this? . . . Don’t hate him, for he deserves more than that from [the] Khumus. (Bukhari)

Thus, Muhammad casually believes that slave women who are part of the one-fifth of the spoils of war can be treated like sexual property. Ali is a Muslim hero. He was the husband of Fatima, Muhammad’s daughter by his first wife Khadija. So why would the model prophet for the world scold his son-in-law for having sex with a slave-girl? After all, slaves are fair sexual game. The Quran says so.

Moreover, holy jihadists may not practice coitus interruptus with the women they capture, but not for the reason one expects: simple justice.

While on a military campaign and away from their wives, Muslim jihadists "received captives from among the Arab captives and we desired women and celibacy became hard on us and we loved to do coitus interruptus." They asked the holy prophet about this, and it is important to note what he did not say.

He did not scold them or prohibit any kind of sex whatsoever, declaring it haram (forbidden). Rather, he gets lost in theology and the quirky doctrine of fate:

It is better for you not to do so [practice coitus interruptus]. There is no person that is destined to exist, but will come to existence, till the Day of Resurrection. (Bukhari; for parallel hadiths go here and here)

That is, these enquiring Muslims should stop doing coitus interruptus, but instead go all the way with the enslaved sex objects. Fate controls who should be born. Muhammad does not prohibit this extremely immoral practice just when the time was right to forbid it.

It is one thing for some soldiers in any army to strike out on their own and rape women. All armies have criminal soldiers who commit this wrong act. But it is quite another to codify rape in a sacred text.

Islam codifies and legalizes rape.

It is disappointing that the Quran does not abolish this sexual crime in the clearest terms: Thou shalt not have sex with slave-girls under any circumstance!

Conclusion

It may be argued that American slave-owners committed sexual crimes against their slaves before the Civil War (1861-1865), so who are Christians or Americans (the two are not identical) to complain about Islam?

In reply, however, the two situations are different. First, it is wrong to compare the US with the Muslim community founded by Muhammad, who claimed divine inspiration. Instead, it is best to compare the founder of a religion (Jesus) with another founder (Muhammad). Second, in no place in the New Testament does God give permission to men—Christian or secular—to have sex with slave-girls. This would violate the spirit of Jesus’ ministry and the entire writings of the New Testament authors, who understood Jesus as fulfilling the Old Testament. If Americans in a bygone era did this, then they were not following God’s law. The Quran, however, codifies and legalizes this sexual crime, and allegedly this book came down from Allah through Gabriel to Muhammad. Any clear-thinking individual can see that having sex with women in their most desperate condition (slavery) is wrong.

But the real issue is much larger than questions about American history.

The following question must be asked and answered: Is Muhammad, the Quran, and Islam the best prophet, book, and religion to lead humanity into the new millennium?

For those of us on the outside of Islam who examine the evidence with as much objectivity as we can and who have not been blinded by a lifetime of devotion to Islam, the answer to this rhetorical question is obvious: no, they are not the best to lead all of humanity into the new millennium.

Therefore, all clear-thinking Muslims who live under hyper-religious oppressors must throw them off and ignite secular revolutions, such as the one that happened in Turkey after World War I. Maybe this will happen in Iran, and maybe Iraq will steer clear of sharia (Islamic law), as Iraqis take their first baby steps towards democracy. They must get away from the Quran and Muhammad’s example.

Until these revolutions happen and until religious leaders renounce many verses in the Quran and the hadith, we on the outside of this religion are allowed to distrust Muhammad’s religion.

And women who are tempted to convert to this religion must stop and think a second time.

INTRODUCTION

Muhammad made strange and harsh statements about dogs and these edicts affect dogs in a tragic way. His teachings may have come from cultural bias, Pagan concepts, or his own imagination, but wherever they came from they led to the cruel treatment of dogs.

None of the statements regarding dogs are found in the Quran but they abound in the various collections of traditions (hadith). These traditions are a primary foundation of Islamic theology and are the basis of many Islamic laws. They render dogs as "impure" and worse. Per Muhammad’s orders most dogs were to be killed and all dogs of a specific color (black) had to be killed.

Muhammad claimed to be a prophet of God and as such his word was to be obeyed. With the teeth of Islam biting worldwide it is vital that Muhammad’s teachings be scrutinized to determine if he were a nut or a prophet.

 

 

_____________________________________________________________________

STATEMENTS FROM THE HADITH

Below are a number of Hadith on various aspects involving dogs. All Hadith are from the Sahih collections of Bukhari[1] and Muslim[2], or the Sunan of Abu Dawud[3]. After the Quran, Bukhari's set of Hadith are regarded to be the second most important books in Islam, followed closely by the Hadith of Muslim. I quote from these sources to prove that these Hadith are not just a few isolated or unsupported cases. I have sorted Muhammad's statements concerning dogs into 5 categories. All of these illustrate different facets of his beliefs regarding dogs.

 

1) KILL THE DOGS

From Bukhari Vol. 4, #540

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: Allah's Apostle ordered that the dogs should be killed.

From Abu Dawud #2839

Abd Allah B. Mughaffal reported the apostle of Allah as saying: Were dogs not a species of creature I should command that they all be killed; but kill every pure black one.

The Hadith's note for #2839 says, "The prophet did not order the killing of all the dogs, for some are to be retained for hunting and watching. He ordered to kill the jet black ones. They might be more mischievous among them.

From Muslim #3814

Ibn Mughaffal reported: Allah's messenger ordered the killing of dogs and then said, "what is the trouble with them (the people of Medina? How dogs are nuisances to them (the citizens of Medina)? He then permitted keeping of dogs for hunting and (the protection of) herds. ...[and for] for the protection of cultivated land.

From Muslim #Number 055

Ibn Mughaffal reported: The Messenger of Allah ordered killing of the dogs, and then said: What about them, i. e. about other dogs? and then granted concession (to keep) the dog for hunting and the dog for (the security) of the herd, and said: When the dog licks the utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time.

From Muslim #3813

Abu Zubair heard Jabir Abdullah saying: Allah's messenger ordered us to kill dogs and we carried out this order so much so that we also killed the dog roaming with a women from the desert. Then Allah's apostle forbade their killing. He said: "It is your duty to kill the jet-black (dog) having two spots (on the eyes) for it is a devil.

The note for #3814 says,

"The Hadith gives us an idea why the prophet commanded to kill dogs. There must have been an excess of stray dogs and thus the danger of rabies in the city of Medina and its suburbs. The prophet therefore ordered to kill them. Later on when it was found that his Companions were killing them indiscriminately, he forbade them to do so and told them that only the ferocious beasts which were a source of danger to life should be killed. The word "Devil" in the Hadith clarifies this point. Here devil stands for ferocious.

HOWEVER THE REASONING WITHIN THE NOTE ABOVE IS INCORRECT – READ BELOW.

From Muslim #5248

Maimuna reported that one morning Allah’s Messenger was silent with grief. Maimuna said: Allah’s Messenger, I find a change in your mood today. Allah’s Messenger said: Gabriel had promised me that he would meet me tonight, but he did not meet me. By Allah, he never broke his promises, and Allah’s Messenger spent the day in this sad mood. Then it occurred to him that there had been a puppy under their cot. He commanded and it was turned out. He then took some water in his hand and sprinkled it at that place. When it was evening Gabriel met him and he said to him: You promised me that you would meet me the previous night. He said: Yes, but we do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture. Then on that very morning he commanded the killing of the dogs until he announced that the dog kept for the orchards should also be killed, but he spared the dog meant for the protection of extensive fields or big gardens.

 

COMMENT

These Hadith tell the story of Muhammad's order to kill dogs. Muhammad said he would like to have all dogs killed. He wanted them killed, NOT because packs of dogs were tormenting the citizens of Medina, but rather, because a puppy stopped the mighty angel Gabriel. Muhammad’s solution was to kill the dogs. He first said he wanted all dogs killed but then made exceptions for dogs that are used for farming, hunting, or watching (outside). Further, he ordered that all black dogs be killed and called them "a Satan".

2) COMMERCE IN DOGS

From Bukhari Vol. 3, #299

Narrated 'Aun bin Abu Juhaifa: "My father bought a slave who practiced the profession of cupping. (My father broke the slave's instruments of cupping). I asked my father why he had done so. He replied, "The Prophet forbade the acceptance of the price of a dog or blood, and also forbade the profession of tattooing, getting tattooed and receiving or giving Riba, (usury), and cursed the picture-makers."

From Bukhari Vol. 3, #482

Narrated Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari: "Allah's Apostle regarded illegal the price of a dog, the earnings of a prostitute, and the charges taken by a soothsayer."

From Muslim #3803

Abu Masud reported that Allah's messenger forbade the charging of price of the dog and earning of a prostitute and sweets offered to a kahin.

 

COMMENT

Muhammad believed that money made from the sale of a dog (for other than already mentioned purposes) was considered as evil as the money made from prostitution, witchcraft, or usury. Something about dogs disturbed Muhammad deeply.

 

 

_____________________________________________________________________

3) LOSS OF REWARD OF GOOD WORKS FOR OWNING DOGS

From Bukhari Vol. 3, #515

Narrated Abu Huraira: "Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever keeps a dog, one Qirat of the reward of his good deeds is deducted daily, unless the dog is used for guarding a farm or cattle." Abu Huraira (in another narration) said from the Prophet, "unless it is used for guarding sheep or farms, or for hunting." Narrated Abu Hazim from Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "A dog for guarding cattle or for hunting.""

From Muslim Number 3815:

Ibn Umar reported Allah's Messenger as saying: He who keeps a dog other than that meant for watching the herd or for hunting loses every day out of his deeds equal to two qirat.

From Muslim Number 2062:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger as saying: He who attends the funeral till the prayer is offered for (the dead), for him is the reward of one qirat, and he who attends (and stays) till he is buried, for him is the reward of two qirats. It was said: What are the qirats? He said: They are equivalent to two huge mountains. Two other narrators added: Ibn 'Umar used to pray and then depart (without waiting for the burial of the dead). When the tradition of Abu Huraira reached him, he said:" We have lost many qirats."

 

COMMENT

Having a dog as a pet is prohibited in Islam. In fact, if a Muslim keeps a dog as a pet God will take away some heavenly reward for his good deeds! Notice that the amount taken away changed from one to two qirats.

4) DOGS ANNULLING PRAYER

From Bukhari Vol. 1, #490

Narrated 'Aisha: "The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before me. They said, "Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman (if they pass in front of the praying people)." I said, "You have made us (i.e. women) dogs. I saw the Prophet praying while I used to lie in my bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I would slip away, for I disliked to face him.""

From Muslim Number 1032

Abu Dharr reported: The Messenger of 'Allah said: When any one of you stands for prayer and there is a thing before him equal to the back of the saddle that covers him and in case there is not before him (a thing) equal to the back of the saddle, his prayer would be cut off by (passing of an) ass, woman, and black Dog. I said: O Abu Dharr, what feature is there in a black dog which distinguish it from the red dog and the yellow dog? He said: O, son of my brother, I asked the Messenger of Allah as you are asking me, and he said: The black dog is a devil.

From Abu Dawud Number 0704:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:

Ikrimah reported on the authority of Ibn Abbas, saying: I think the Apostle of Allah said: When one of you prays without a sutrah, a dog, an ass, a pig, a Jew, a Magian, and a woman cut off his prayer, but it will suffice if they pass in front of him at a distance of over a stone's throw.

 

COMMENT

These hadith state that if a dog passes in front of people praying it annuls their prayer. Annul means, "to reduce to nothing", or "to make ineffective or inoperative". If a group of people are praying and a dog walks in-between them and the Kaba (in Mecca), then their prayer is made null and void.

 

 

_____________________________________________________________________

5) DOGS STOP THE ANGELS

From Bukhari Vol. 4, #448

Narrated Abu Talha: "I heard Allah's Apostle saying; "Angels (of Mercy) do not enter a house wherein there is a dog or a picture of a living creature (a human being or an animal).""

From Bukhari Vol. 7, #843

Narrated Salim's father: "Once Gabriel promised to visit the Prophet but he delayed and the Prophet got worried about that. At last he came out and found Gabriel and complained to him of his grief (for his delay). Gabriel said to him, "We do not enter a place in which there is a picture or a dog.""

From Muslim, #5276:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger as saying: Angels do not accompany the travelers who have with them a dog and a bell.

From Muslim, #5279:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger as saying: "The bell is the musical instrument of Satan."

 

COMMENT

The story behind these hadith was mentioned earlier. A little puppy stopped an angel from entering the house because it was "unclean". Note that angels do not enter a place with a dog, or accompany people who travel with a dog.

THE TOMES

The tomes also details the same aspects found in the traditions. We’ll start with the Reliance of the Traveler[4] which is a compendium of Shafi’i law.

On filth, page 95

e14.0 FILTH (NAJASA)

e.14.1 Filth means:

(8) dogs and pigs, or their offspring

On purification, page 98

e14.7 Something that becomes impure by contact (def: below) with something from dogs or swine does not become pure except by being washed seven times, one of which (recommended not to be the last) must be with purifying earth (def: e12.1 (b)) mixed with purifying water, and it must read all of the affected area. One may not substitute something else like soap or glasswort in place of earth.

(n: The contact referred to is restricted, in the Shafi’i school, to contamination by traces of moisture from dogs or swing, whether saliva, urine, anything moist from them, or any of their dry parts that have become moist…)

k2.2 It is invalid to transact something that is impure in itself (najasa, def: e141) such as a dog or something affected with filth that cannot be purified (O: by washing), like milk or shortening, though if it can be, like a garment, then it may be transacted.

 

 

The Shorter Encyclopedia of Islam[5] entry on dogs (Kalb).

page 215

Kalb, the dog, is also in Islam one of the "unclean beasts" (hence kalb as an abusive word, specially to unbelievers), primarily because its flesh may not be eaten (al-Nawawi ..) and further because, according to the Hadith, there are several special regulation regarding it. For example dogs render food which they lick impure and render unavailable water intended for ritual purifications…) Vessels, likewise, which have been licked by dogs, require to be cleaned several times including once with sand. In a certain way they render impure the whole room in which they are; for angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog and Muhammad had first to sprinkle the place on which a young dog had lain concealed with purificatory water before Djibril would appear to him….)

Dogs "cut off the salat", i.e. they make the salat worthless when they come into the immediate vicinity of the man at prayer (Ibn Madja, Ikama, bab 30), and one is all the more inclined to attribute this rule to the impurity of the dog as it also holds for menstruating women. The Arab commentators, however, explain it by saying that the dog frightens the worshipper and distracts him from his devotions (al-Sindi commentary on Ibn Madja as cited above). This is especially true of the black dog, for "he is Satan"). This saying is either to be interpreted literally as meaning that Satan occasionally appears in the form a black dog (cf. Faust) or it only means that black dogs in general are considered particularly dangerous. Dogs in general are considered noxious and should therefore be exterminated (al-Nasa’i, Said wa’l-dhaba’ih, bab 9-14_, but as "Allah does not create anything in which there is not a trace of His wisdom" (al-Sindi, commentary on this passage), this rule is applied only to black dogs.

It is only permitted to keep dogs for hunting, for herding and for watching (al-Nasa’i, op. cit.); whoever keeps a forbidden dog has to forfeit a portion of his possession daily (cf. Babylon. Talmud Shabbath, fol 63: "whoever possesses a dangerous dog keeps good fortune away from his house"). Dealing in dogs on the other hand is strictly forbidden (al-Bukhari, Buyu’ bab 25).

But in spite of its impurity and dangerousness the Arabs are able to appreciate the good qualities and services of the dog. Muhammad himself promises a woman a divine reward for a kindness which she had done a thirsty dog (al-Bukhari, Wudi, bab 33), and al-Kazwini (p. 403) characterizes the dog as "a particularly intelligent, very useful animal, patient in hunger an on the watch, whose cleverness and fidelity are shown in many ways". …

 

COMMENT

The tomes echo the hadith’s statements. That’s because the hadith’s statements are theological bedrock for Islam’s denigration of dogs, hence the scholars detail the rulings in their books of jurisprudence or theology. Islam has a formal, establish, legal position that dogs are unclean and it rejects dogs as pets.

OTHER SOURCES

There are many Muslim sites that discuss dog ownership. Real Muslims believe in obeying the Islamic law - the Sharia, which states that keeping dogs as pets is not permitted. Below are a few samples.

The Muslim Q&A site Albalgh[6] answers a young Muslim’s question regarding keeping a dog as a pet:

Q.) I am a 15 year old Muslim American and my mother is buying a dog. I heard that if I touch the dog, I cannot pray. Is this true? What should I do?

Similarly Allah Taãla created the dog from among His creation. This does not mean that we should love the dog. It is perhaps the indoctrination of the Western culture that 'The dog is Man's best Friend'. The theory that 'dogs are very dependent on Human affection' is a myth - again culture and custom has helped to develop this unnatural behavior.

Allah Taãla the Creator of this Universe - having created the dog would surely have known that the dog requires Human affection and love to exist in this world. Rasulullah (Sallallaaahu Álayhi Wasallam) would have advised us to keep dogs as pets. On the contrary, we are instructed not to keep dogs as pets and 'love' them as exemplified by the non-Muslims. Remember our life is structured and bound by the Shariah i.e. The Noble Qurãn and the beautiful example of Rasulullah (Sallallaaahu Álayhi Wasallam). Consider these Ahaadith:

… Salaam) said that we, the group of Angels do not enter a house wherein there is a dog or pictures. (Sahih Muslim Hadith no.3928)

In the light of these Ahaadith and other narrations it is not permissible to keep dogs as pets. The household is deprived of the Mercy of Allah Taãla.

 

The website Islam-qa[7] addresses a person’s question regarding owning dogs:

Question:

What is the ruling on raising dogs in the house?

Answer…

It is not permissible for a Muslim to keep a dog, unless he needs this dog for hunting, guarding livestock or guarding crops.

Al-Bukhaari (2145) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever keeps a dog, a qiraat from his good deeds will be deducted every day, except a dog for farming or herding livestock."

Muslim (2978) narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever keeps a dog that is not a dog for hunting, herding livestock or farming, two qiraats will be deducted from his reward each day."

With regard to keeping dogs, this is haraam and is in fact a major sin, because the one who keeps a dog, except those for which an exception has been made, will have two qiraats deducted from his reward every day.

It is by the wisdom of Allaah that like calls to like and evil calls to evil. It is said that the kaafirs, Jews, Christians and communists in the east and the west all keep dogs, Allaah forbid. Each one takes his dog with him and cleans it every day with soap and other cleansing agents. But even if he were to clean it with the water of all the seas in the world and all the soap in the world, it would never become pure! Because its impurity is inherent, and inherent impurity cannot be cleansed except by destroying it and erasing it altogether.

But this is by the wisdom of Allaah, and the wisdom of Allaah is that like calls to like and evil calls to Shaytaan because this kufr of theirs is by the inspiration of the Shaytaan and the command of the Shaytaan, for the Shaytaan enjoins evil, immorality, kufr and misguidance. So they are slaves to the Shaytaan and to their whims and desires, and they are also evil and love vile things. We ask Allaah to guide us and them.

 

COMMENT

These Muslim sites are only stating what the Sharia teaches: You can’t own dogs. The site above says that not only is it not permissible for Muslims to own dogs, but that the dogs must be destroyed. And note that it ends with a denunciation of non-Muslims (kufr) and states that owning dogs comes from the inspiration of Satan and dog owners are slaves to Satan.

 

 

_____________________________________________________________________

TO OBEY OR NOT OBEY MUHAMMAD? – THAT IS THE QUESTION.

Islam has branded the dog as unclean, speaks against owning dogs as pets, and ordered that they be killed. However, some Muslims know the joy of pet ownership and are caught in dichotomies: To kill or not to kill? Unclean or not unclean? To obey Muhammad or disobey Muhammad? That is the question.

The Muslims that are honest and rational know that the commands in the hadith are nonsense. That leaves them with two options: 1) deny the validity of the "authentic traditions" (Sahih Hadith), or, 2) tailor the anti-dog commands to make them more palatable. We’ll sample a few of their arguments and provide brief responses.

 

ARGUMENT 1: THE HADITH ARE FALSE – Variation 1.

One way to deal with the problem is to claim that the anti-dog Hadith are false. Here is a quote from the quran-Islam blog[8]. The editor wrote:

It is traditional among Muslims all over the world to regard the dog as a dirty animal that when touched would void your wudu (ablution) and give you nagasah (dirty impurity!)

Sadly, this concept comes from fabricated hadith which claims that the prophet ordered the killing of dogs and gave numerous hadith that prohibit the keeping of dogs except for hunting and guarding, due to their dirty status!

However, by studying the Quran we find no such claims. Nowhere in the Quran are dogs prohibited. Consequently, we must dismiss all these hadith that fabricate lies against the prophet.

 

And then an article written by Linda Kelly follows the above which supports the wholesomeness of dogs. Kelly refers to the "Seven Sleepers" story in the Quran, (that was taken from New Testament Apocrypha), and says that because there was a dog with them, God approved of dogs as companions. She wrote:

Hadith tells us that angels won't enter a room where there is a dog. That means that for 309 years that the sleepers were in the cave, no angel ever entered. Yet God says "We turned them...." The use of "we" clearly indicates the participation of angels. There is absolutely no reason to mention the dog as part of this story, except to make it clear to future generation that dogs are permitted to live among people, right "in their midst." And 18:22 clearly shows that the dog was counted right along with the believers.

 

ARGUMENT 1: THE HADITH ARE FALSE – Variation 2.

The argument below is similar to the one above. It comes from the website "islamicconcern". This argument also acknowledges the wholesomeness in dog ownership and the irrationality of the hadith’s statements on dogs. This argument quotes from a Muslim professor living and teaching in America, Abou El Fadl. It details his position on dogs:

After a lengthy process of textual research and prayer for divine guidance, he concluded that reports against dogs were passed on through questionable chains of transmissions or contradicted by more favorable reports - for instance, one story of Muhammad praying with his dogs playing nearby.

"Dogs represent my rebellion against ignorance about the basis of actual historical law," Abou El Fadl says. "They are a symbol of the irrationality of our tradition, the privileging of law over humaneness."

How, he asks, pointing to Honey, who constantly follows him and nestles at his side, does God "create animals with these natural tendencies and then condemn them as thoroughly reprehensible?"

From Newsweek, April 15, 2002:

Take that matter of dogs, for instance. To the literalists, the prohibition against dogs as pets is clearly delineated in one of the hadiths, the traditional accounts of the life and sayings of the prophet Mohammed. In their view, the hadiths and the Koran unambiguously set forth the laws of sharia. But as Abou El Fadl points out, determining which of the tens of thousands of hadiths are authoritative requires both knowledge and critical analysis. One must evaluate the reliability of the sources and assess how consistent the hadiths are with the moral vision of the God who speaks in and through the Koran. In the case of the dog hadith, Abou El Fadl found it hard to believe that the same God who created such companionable creatures would have his prophet declare them "unclean."

Investigating the sources, he discovered that the hadith in question not only derived from an unreliable chain of sources but reflected views far more consistent with pre-Islamic Arab customs and attitudes. What's more, he says, he found that a hadith from one of the most trustworthy sources tells how the Prophet himself had prayed in the presence of his playfully cavorting dogs.[9]

 

RESPONSE

Linda Kelly and Fadl attack the validity of the Sahih Hadith. Yet in the theology of the Sunni Muslim world these hadith are classified as completely reliable. They have stood in the hallowed halls of Islamic theology for a thousand years plus. They are foundational to Islam for they command and explain many of Islam’s facets that are omitted or missed by the Quran. Devout Muslims would say that Kelly and Fadl have been seduced or deceived away from Islam’s true teaching on dogs and that they are sinning.

Kelly claims that these hadith contradict the Quran. But her argument is based on the assumption that "We" includes angels. God could have turned the sleepers himself. If God can create the world, he can turn sleeping men and angels need not be in the cave.

Fadl points out correctly that the hadith is often "irrational". But Fadl hides deceitfully behind a smoke screen. He says, "determining which of the tens of thousands of hadiths are authoritative requires both knowledge and critical analysis." In the context of the discussion that’s a laughable statement because the critical analysis has already been done. And the results of this analysis are now, and have been, deeply rooted and well established in Islamic theology. This "critical analysis" has produced the "sahih" collections of hadith, i.e. Bukhari and Muslim. The other four authentic collections of hadith are Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, and an-Nasi. Five of these collections are available in English and much of them is available on the internet for free. You’ll find that they all agree about the status of dogs. Nobody needs to sift through "tens of thousands of hadith". It’s already been done and established for over 1000 years. Fadl is deceptive and misleads a naive and trusting Western audience.

Linda Kelly and Fadl both believe that it is nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous disobedience to Muhammad, denigrate the hadith, and bear the whips and scorn of the fundamentalist Muslims, than it is to turn their backs upon man’s best friend. Obviously it’s a dog eat dog world in Islam and these more rational people recognize the value of dogs as pets, so they attack Muhammad’s bizarre statements.

 

ARGUMENT 2: THE HADITH ARE MISUNDERSTOOD

There are several variations of this argument and an example is below. It is from a site that wrote a response to my original "dog" article. His reasoning is that the dogs Muhammad referred to were hyenas:

Has it occured to you that the "black dogs" that Prophet Muhammad talked about were what we call today "Hyenas"? Don't we even call Hyenas "black devils" today as the Prophet peace be upon him called them 1500 years ago??!!

They're also sometimes called "Desert Wolfs". What Silas? I know you're Middle Eastern! Have you forgotten your region already? Or are you just acting plain stupid to deceive your Western reader and to make Islam look like you?!

Now tell us Silas, why shouldn't you kill a Hyena, or a Coyote or a Jackal, or even a Wild Dog when you encounter them?

I agree that dogs are helpful and beneficial to humans. That is why he didn't completely prohibit owning dogs from all aspects. We can still use dogs to benefit us. But petting a dog in a house causes the house to be unclean. Dogs are unclean animals. Their saliva are unclean and disgusting.[10]

 

RESPONSE

Osama is attempting to modify the hadith’s meaning. "Muhammad didn’t mean dogs, he meant hyenas." The Arabic word for dog is "kalb" and the Arabic word for hyena is "dab" (roughly transliterated). If Muhammad wanted to distinguish between dogs and hyenas he would have used the correct word.

Lets re-visit Abu Dawud, #2839

Abd Allah B. Mughaffal reported the apostle of Allah as saying: Were dogs not a species of creature I should command that they all be killed; but kill every pure black one.

The Hadith's note for #2839 says, "The prophet did not order the killing of all the dogs, for some are to be retained for hunting and watching. He ordered to kill the jet black ones. They might be more mischievous among them.

 

Obviously, Muhammad classified together all dogs that did or did not perform jobs and distinguished between them based on their color: black ones were more evil. Think about what Osama implies: Was that a baby hyena puppy in Muhammad’s home, or was it a dog? Were Muslims using hyenas to hunt and watch their flocks? Osama’s argument becomes idiotic once the contexts are taken into account.

Finally, who is right, Fadl or Osama? Is Fadl right in claiming that dog as pets ownership is permitted today? Or is Osama right in saying that dogs are unclean and as pets make the house unclean?

BENEFITS OF DOGS AS PETS

I ask the Muslim readers to view the articles linked below and determine whether or not Muhammad’s statements were rational. Don’t just read the snippets I provide, spend some time and read the entire articles (linked in the Reference section). If you are honest, like Fadl and Kelly, you’ll admit that Muhammad’s statements were superstitious, stupid, and just plain wrong.

The studies mentioned below prove the value of owning a dog simply as a pet. They are a sampling of the many available articles stating that pet ownership is very beneficial to humans.

 

The Siskin Hospital in Tenn. has a "Pet Therapy" program to assist in rehabilitation. They state:

The Pet Therapy Program uses carefully screened dogs and cats as an integral part of physical, speech, recreational and occupational therapies to address treatment goals including improving range of motion, strength and endurance, balance, mobility, and sensation. In addition to the physical benefits of pet therapy, patients form a connection with the animal; reducing stress and building self-esteem through the animals’ unconditional acceptance.[11]

 

From the BBC:

Dog-owners 'lead healthier lives'

If you want to live a healthier life get a dog, research suggests. The companionship offered by many pets is thought to be good for you, but the benefits of owning a dog outstrip those of cat owners, the study says.

A psychologist from Queen's University, Belfast, said dog owners tended to have lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Writing in the British Journal of Health Psychology, she says that regular "walkies" may partly explain the difference.

Dr Deborah Wells reviewed dozens of earlier research papers which looked at the health benefits of pet ownership. She confirmed that pet owners tended in general to be healthier than the average member of the population.

However, her research suggested that dog ownership produced more positive influence than cat ownership. As well as lower blood pressure and cholesterol, she said dog-owners suffered fewer minor ailments and serious medical problems. There was also the suggestion that dogs could aid recovery from serious illnesses such as heart attacks, and act as 'early warning' to detect an approaching epileptic seizure.[12]

 

The Swedish Medical Center in America, Seattle, Washington, lists the benefits of pet ownership[13]:

Why We Benefit From the Company of Animals
There are several benefits to having a pet:
• Companionship and pleasurable activity
• Facilitate exercise, play, and laughter
• Have something to care for and a source of consistency
• Allow feeling of security
• Are a comfort to touch and a pleasure to watch
• Provide a link with reality to enhance emotional stability
• Become a receptive partner in a relationship of mutual trust that promotes self-awareness
• Provide nonjudgmental acceptance and love
• Are an outlet for one’s ancient primate grooming urges
• Improved sense of well-being

 

Google’s Answers[14] provides benefits to owning a dog as a pet. Below is a brief excerpt:

QUESTION:

What are the top ten health benefits of dog ownership? I want measurable physical, and mental health benefits such as decreased

blood pressure. Not qualitative anecdotes about how they make you feel good.

ANSWER:

- Pet owners have lower blood pressure
- Pet owners have lower blood cholesterol levels
- Pet owners have a higher survival rate after serious illness
- Pet owners have fewer doctors' visits
- Pet ownership reduces loneliness
- Pet ownership fights depression
- Pet ownership helps us cope with stress
- Pet ownership aids childhood development
- Pet owners enhance family life

 

Please note that for each category above the doctor cites studies that determined those results.

 

COMMENT

The benefits of dogs as pets is well established and the evidence is irrefutable. Yet Muhammad, claiming to be a prophet of God, commanded that they be killed and not kept as pets. Either the research evidence is false, or Muhammad was wrong in depriving mankind of a friend and ordering that innocent animals be killed.

 

 

_____________________________________________________________________

BENEFITS OF DOGS AS PETS CONTINUED

Take a look at this video below and tell me that this animal is "unclean" and should be killed. Tell me if this dog is a beneficial pet, an admirable animal, or just another target of Muhammad’s irrationality.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5249518974978628334

 

Does this animal deserve to be killed because Muhammad uttered a brutal command? Devout Muslims, true Muslims, must answer "Yes" to that question, because their "prophet" said so.

Do an internet search for real life stories of dogs saving or helping humans. There are many out there. Below are excerpts from a small sample of the benefit, the good, the blessing, that dogs have been to their owners or other people. Remember, if Muhammad’s words were obeyed, these dogs would be dead, or have never existed at all.

 

1) A story about a pet dog that saved his master’s life during a heart attack:

Mark Hanrahan kneels next to his golden retriever, Murphy O’Dawg. The dog woke him up while he was having a heart attack.[15]

 

2) Selma Hayek’s dog saved her life:

Salma said she decided to take a nap at her home in California, not realising there was a gas leak in the house:

"I had a headache and went to lie down when Diva woke me up by grabbing my sleeve in her mouth and trying to pull me out of the house.

"Then I realised the gas was on!"[16]

 

3) A pet saves the lives of his two elderly owners:

Eve and Norman Fertig, who are both 81 years old, were out treating injured birds in the Wildlife Sanctuary on their Alden property on the night of October 12th. They left as the storm intensified but, were soon trapped by falling trees and heavy snow as they tried to walk back to their home. Eve realized they could die in the bitter cold but, fortunately, Shana was with them.

As the cold and snow chilled them both without heavy coats and gloves, Shana started digging under the snow and trees. The dog actually dug a foot wide tunnel about 20 feet to the home.

Shana barked but, the couple hesitated, so they say the dog came back and tugged on Eve's jacket. She says the 160 pound dog actually pulled her onto its broad back and crawled through the tunnel. Her husband held on as well as they slowly crawled all the way back to their home. They made it back to the back deck, opened their door and fell in to the house exhausted but safe.[17]

 

Ok, if you’re a Muslim, be honest with yourself. Didn’t these pets make an important difference in the lives of their owners? Is there any justification to kill them?

 

 

_____________________________________________________________________

DISCUSSION: THE BIGGER PICTURE

Think about the bigger picture. If Islam would have taken over the entire world, what would it have meant? How would that have affected our society, and you?

 

Muhammad said: 
"Kill all the dogs!"            Kill Snoopy                  Kill Lassie            Kill Rin Tin Tin!

Muhammad said:
"Kill all the dogs!"            Kill Scooby Doo           Kill Pluto              Kill the Taco Bell dog!

Muhammad said:
"Kill all the dogs!"            Kill Dogbert                 Kill Goofy             Kill the 101 Dalmatians!

 

I’m trying to make a point by presenting Muhammad in the light of today. The dogs above are fictional, or they were real dogs representing fictional dogs in Hollywood. But these fictional dogs have affected billions of people’s lives for the better. They’ve brought us laughter and tears and have taught us about life and love. Those fictional dogs represented the bond between dog and man and mankind has judged the dog to be a beneficial and loving pet. Yet if Muhammad’s word was obeyed they would have never existed. Never.

 

Muhammad said:
"Kill all the dogs!"             Kill your pet!

People’s pets have made a positive difference in their lives. Did you own a pet dog? If not, did you know someone who did? If so, I’ll bet that your dog, or the dogs you saw were a blessing, not a curse, to their owners. Were they really the "unclean" animal that deserved to be killed because Muhammad said so?

Too bad Muhammad didn’t have a pet dog to share life with while he was growing up. If a dog was with him in the cave Hira, it would have helped him fend off the dark spirit that assaulted him. Following that visit Muhammad was often very depressed and attempted suicide many times during the next 3 years or so. (See the article Muhammad's Suicide Attempts).

 

QUESTIONS AND TALKING POINTS

Below are some brief questions and thoughts on Muhammad’s statements.

1) Prayer is annulled by a dog.

Why should a dog nullify prayer? What difference does it make if the dog is in front of you, or behind you? Jesus taught that God judges the heart, and the outward performance is irrelevant.

2) Angels do not enter a house wherein there is a dog.

Why would an angel be stopped by a puppy if he were on a mission from God? What power does this "unclean" characteristic possess to stop an angel?

3) Whoever keeps a dog, one Qirat of the reward of his good deeds is deducted daily,

Why would Allah double the punishment of dog ownership? And, how much exactly is 1 qirat in heavenly currency and what is it needed for? Is it a huge mountain of gold, silver, or diamonds? After all, if Allah is penalizing you for something, the thing he is taking away must have value to the owner.

The points above are some quick thoughts I’ve had about this topic. I’m sure that if you think it through you’ll be able to find additional flaws in Muhammad’s statements.

 

 

_____________________________________________________________________

CHALLENGE TO THE MUSLIM

You have to take Muhammad at his word. Don’t deceive yourself like Fadl and Kelly and pretend that Muhammad didn’t say to kill the dogs. Take a stand. Either obey Muhammad, or admit that Muhammad was wrong and was a wacko. If he were false, then leave him. Don’t put your eternal fate in the hands of an abusive, deluded, false prophet.

 

_____________________________________________________________________

CONCLUSION

Muhammad’s bizarre beliefs regarding dogs were irrational, superstitious, and very cruel. I am thankful that Western countries have laws that protect pets and animals and make killing dogs, as Muhammad commanded, a crime. Hopefully Muslims will obey the law.

Muhammad’s absurd beliefs are now part and parcel of established Islamic dogma. Muslims who intend to obey Muhammad and obey the Sharia must kill their dogs. Any rationalization for disobeying the Sharia and owning a pet dog is going to be punished by Allah.

There are no intelligent or logical foundations supporting Muhammad’s beliefs, rather they go against modern medicine, modern science, and practical experience. Muhammad’s order is a blight, not a blessing. Muhammad’s superstitious belief, coupled with his brutality, bring out the worst in men.

Muhammad is to be rejected for he is a curse upon mankind.

Consider Jesus. He did not teach to kill animals because of their species or color. Christ's teachings were based upon faith, love, and obedience to God. When Christ taught prayer, He taught that God judges the heart, not the form or outward appearance. When Christ taught about heaven, and its rewards, He did not state that owning an animal would cost you your good works. Christ's message was simple: love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself.
