THE HADITHIC MUHAMMAD PT. 2
Here’s the remaining part of More’s section on the hadithic Muhammad: THE HADITHIC MUHAMMAD PT. 1.
Section IV.
On Jihad (Holy War)
The Hadith reveals that Muhammad wanted his religion to be spread primarily by the sword. It is filled with commands to make war upon non-Muslims in order to force them to embrace Islam.
Jihad was so important to Muhammad that he made it the second most important deed in Islam.
Allah’s apostle was asked, “What is the best deed?” He replied, “To believe in Allah and his Apostle.” The questioner then asked, “What is the next [in goodness]?” He replied, “To participate in Jihad [religious fighting] in Allah’s cause” (vol. 1, no. 25).
Anas bin Malik recorded that,
Allah’s Apostle vanquished them by force and their warriors were killed; their children and women were taken as captives. Safiya was taken by Dihya Al-Kalbi and later she belonged to the Allah’s Apostle who married her (vol. 2, no. 68).
A brief summary on Muhammad’s teachings on Jihad should be informative to Westerners.
The translator of the Hadith, Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, wrote an introduction to the Hadith which included a discourse on the subject of Jihad by Sheikh Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Hamid, Sacred Mosque of Meccah, Saudi Arabia (vol. 1, pgs. xxii–xl).
This is the most frank Muslim discussion of Jihad we have ever read. It does not deny or play down Muhammad’s demand that Muslims must force Jews, Christians, and pagans to either embrace Islam or submit to political and financial suppression. Indeed, it tries to stimulate and motivate Muslims to engage in Jihad today.
According to Sheikh Abdulla bin Muhammad bin Hamid, Muhammad,
commanded the Muslims to fight against all the pagans as well as against the people of the scriptures [Jews and Christians] if they do not embrace Islam, until they pay the Jizya [a tax levied on the Jews and the Christians who do not embrace Islam] (p. xxiv).
Jihad thus employs several different methods:
1. There is the Jihad Of the Sword.
People are to be either converted or subdued through the violence of military force (vol. 1, p. xxii). Chapter 19 of the Hadith speaks of those who convert to Islam,
by compulsion or for fear of being killed (vol. 1, p. 27).
Muhammad said,
I have been ordered to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s Prophet, and offer prayers and give obligatory charity, so if they perform all that, then they save their lives and property (vol. 1, no. 24).
This is why Muhammad warned the King of the Byzantines,
If you become a Muslim you will be safe (vol. 1, no. 6).
If the king did not convert, he and his kingdom would be destroyed and enslaved.
The Hadith records how Mecca was conquered by force to Islam in vol. 1, no. 104.
In vol. 3, no. 495, we read,
Allah made the Prophet wealthy through conquests.
When a Muslim murdered someone during a Jihad, he got to take the man’s property.
The Prophet said, “Whoever has killed an enemy and has proof of that, will possess his spoils” (vol. 4, no. 370).
This is the driving force behind Muslim violence in Africa today. In such countries as Nigeria and Sudan, hundreds of thousands of Christians and pagans have been brutally slaughtered or enslaved in the name of Jihad because they would not convert to Islam.
Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah alone or give Jizya (vol. 4, no. 386).
2. There is the Jihad of taxation.
Those who refuse to embrace Islam must pay a special tax called Al-Jizya (vol. 4, chap. 21, pgs. 251–252). This financial burden suppresses non-Muslims and makes their life as hard as possible.
3. There is the Jihad of financial reward.
In Iraq, a free university education has been offered to any Christian or Jew who will embrace Islam. A “bounty” of one thousand dollars has been offered to any South African black who will renounce Christianity and embrace Islam. They will also be paid $500 for any other blacks they convert to Islam.
It has been quite common to tell Americans and Europeans that if they want to continue to work in the oil business in Saudi Arabia, they must convert to Islam. No church is allowed to be built on Saudi soil in the attempt to suppress Christian worship.
4. There is the Jihad of fear.
The death penalty is applied to anyone who renounces Islam and embraces another religion such as Christianity. As this book goes to print, there are Christians being tortured in prison in Egypt whose only “crime” was to convert to Christianity.
5. There is the Jihad of slavery.
The only place in the world where black chattel slavery is practiced today is in Muslim countries. The London Economist (1/6/90) reported that the Sudanese Muslims are presently capturing and then selling black women and children of the Dinka Christian Tribe for as little as $15 a head!
Even the U.N. released a report on slavery that points out that the Muslims are still enslaving blacks. This has also been pointed out in the May 4, 1992 special edition of Newsweek on slavery.
Non-Muslim women who go to Saudi Arabia to work as maids are often enslaved by their Muslim employers, beaten, and raped at will. When they try to escape, the Saudi government will not let them leave the country but returns them to their masters.
6. The Jihad of the courts.
Non-Muslims are denied equal access to and equal protection before the law because their testimony in court is not valid against a Muslim (vol. 3, chap. 31, pgs. 525–526). This applies even to murder!
No Muslim should be killed for killing an infidel (vol. 4, no. 283; vol. 9, no. 50).
7. There is a Jihad after death.
A Muslim is “to fight on [Muhammad’s] behalf in his lifetime and after his death” (vol. 1, chapter 43).
8. There is the Jihad of Paradise.
Any Muslim who is killed while fighting in a Jihad will go straight to the sexual pleasures of Paradise (vol. 1, no. 35; vol. 4, no. 386).
Section V.
On the Quran and the Hadith
The Quran was written in heaven according to Hadith no. 643, vol. 9. Thus no earthly pre-Islamic sources for the material found in the Quran should exist. But they do exist in great abundance.
Thus it is no surprise to find that the Quran was written in the Quraish dialect (vol. 6, no. 507). This fact is often not known by non-Arab Muslims.
The Quran after Muhammad’s death was scattered on palm leaves, rocks, bones, etc. (vol. 6, no. 509). Thus the Hadith itself bears witness to the fact that Muhammad did not prepare a manuscript of the Quran before his death.
As a matter of record, the Hadith confirms that the Quran was put together by the Caliph Uthman after Muhammad died. This point is often denied by those Muslims who are ignorant of their own scriptures.
Uthman got the Quran compiled and sent a few of its copies to far off places (vol. 1, no. 63). Uthman…wrote the manuscripts of the Holy Quran in the form of a book (vol. 4, no. 709).
See also vol. 6, nos. 507 and 510.
When Uthman finished his version of the Quran, the Hadith records that he tried to destroy all the conflicting Qurans (vol. 6, no. 510). This is clear proof that there were conflicting versions of the Quran.
The fact that the Quran is missing certain verses and that other verses were abrogated is admitted in the Hadith in vol. 4, nos. 57, 62, 69, 299; vol. 6, nos. 510, 511.
The Hadith even records that when certain people died, those portions of the Quran known only to them perished with them (vol. 6, no. 509).
The Hadith records that Muhammad at times was bewitched and said and saw things under satanic inspiration (vol. 4, nos. 400, 490).
This admission on the part of the Hadith destroys in principle the Muslim claim that Muhammad was infallibly inspired.
Since it is admitted that Muhammad at times did and said things under satanic inspiration, then this in principle calls into question everything he did and said.
Like the Quran, the Hadith puts speeches into the mouths of biblical characters such as Noah, Moses, Jesus, etc., which they could not have spoken because of the vocabulary used, the doctrines taught, the historical references made, etc. They are clearly fraudulent.
vol. 1, chap. 1, p. 16
vol. 1, nos. 74, 78, 124
The Hadith admits that it has variant readings and contradictory Hadiths (vol. 1, nos. 42, 47, 74, 78, 80, 81, 86, 102, 107, 112, 159, 160, 161; vol. 3, nos. 159161).
The translator admits in a footnote in vol. 3, no. 159,
Hadith No. 159 contradicts the Hadith of Al-Hassan.
Like the Quran, some Hadiths were canceled or abrogated: vol. 1, nos. 179, 180.
Section VI.
On Apostasy
The Hadith makes the repeated claim that no one ever leaves Islam.
He then asked, “Does anybody amongst those who embrace his [i.e., Muhammad’s] religion become displeased and renounce the religion afterwards?” I replied, “NO” (vol. 1, nos. 6 and 48).
Then it contradicts itself by saying that death is the punishment for those who leave.
The Prophet said, “If somebody [a muslim] discard his religion [of Islam], kill him” (vol. 4, no. 260).
It even records the murders of those who left Islam for another religion (vol. 5, no. 630).
Volume nine of the Hadith has an entire section dedicated to warning those who would leave Islamthat they will be murdered (see vol. 9, pgs. 10–11, 26, 45–50, 341–342).
So, wherever you find them, kill them, for whoever kills them shall have reward on the Day of Resurrection (vol. 9, no. 64).
Section VII.
On Jews and Christians
Muhammad taught that the Jews worshiped Ezra as the Son of Allah just as Christians worshiped Jesus as the Son of Allah (vol. 1, p. xvii). He was wrong on both counts.
Muhammad said,
Any Jews or Christians who heard about me and did not believe in me and what was revealed to me of the Holy Quran and my traditions, his ultimate destination is the [Hell] Fire (vol. 1, p. li.).
According to Hadith no. 414, vol. 2, Muhammad said,
Allah cursed the Jews and the Christians because they took the graves of their Prophets as places for worship.
Section VIII.
Muhammad on Women
Muhammad taught that the majority of the people in hell were women!
The Prophet said, “I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers were women” (vol. 1, nos. 28, 301; vol. 2, no. 161).
The reason the majority of the people in hell were women is stated in vol. 2, no. 541,
O Women! I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you.
Muhammad believed that women were “deficient in intelligence” and thus they should not be given equal rights under Islamic law.
For example, he legislated that a woman’s testimony in court was worth only half that of a man. Thus it would take the testimony of two women to offset the testimony of one man. Imagine what this would do to women who were raped!
The Prophet said, “Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?” The women said, “Yes.” He said, “This is because of the deficiency of a woman’s mind” (vol. 3, no. 826).
Muhammad even ruled that women are to receive only half of what their brothers receive in inheritance (vol. 4, no. 10). Thus women are financially punished for being females.
Perhaps the most degrading picture of women is that Paradise will have beautiful women, whose only purpose is to satisfy the sexual urges of men, chained to different corners.
The statement of Allah, Beautiful women restrained [i.e., chained] in pavilions. Allah’s Apostle said, “In Paradise there is a pavilion made of a single hollow pearl sixty
miles wide, in each corner there are wives who will not see those in the other corners; and the believers will visit and enjoy them.”
Section IX.
On Urine and Feces
Muhammad had a psychological obsession with urine and feces. In fact, he spent a great deal of time teaching on where, when, and how to urinate and defecate.
He was so obsessed with the subject that he taught that if someone got urine on his clothes or body, they suffered hellfire in the afterlife!
One of the major sins is not to protect oneself [one’s clothes and body] from one’s urine [i.e., from being soiled with it]. Once the Prophet, while passing one of the graveyards of Medina or Mecca, heard the voices of two persons being tortured in their graves. The Prophet then added, “Yes! [they are being tortured for a major sin]. Indeed, one of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine” (vol. 1, chap. 57, no. 215).
According to vol. 2, no. 443, Muhammad said that people are tortured in hellfire because they soil themselves with urine.
Yet, at the same time, Muhammad ordered people to drink camel urine mixed in milk as medicine!
So the Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of camels and to drink their milk and urine [as a medicine] (vol. 1, no. 234).
The rules for urination and defecation are as follows:
1. You must not face Mecca when urinating or defecating (vol. 1, nos. 146, 147, 150, 151).
2. You must not use your right hand to hold or wipe yourself (vol. 1, nos. 155, 156).
3. You must wash your privates after going to the bathroom (vol. 1, nos. 152, 153, 154, 157).
Section X.
Muhammad’s Believe It or Not
Muhammad taught many things which seem to the modern reader to be patently absurd. Some of his beliefs were so far out that no one today could possibly accept or defend them. Yet, we recognize that sincere Muslims must do so or give up their claim that he was Allah’s Apostle.
We understand their difficulty. How can they defend the indefensible? How can they justify what is so obviously absurd? This is the crux of the matter.
The following teachings of Muhammad are a partial list of some of the strange things he taught to his disciples.
I. The Colossus Adam
In Hadith no. 543, vol. 4, we read,
The Prophet said, “Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall.”
This would make Adam around 90 ft. tall! Was Adam really as tall as a three-story building? How tall was Eve? And their children? And why are we not that tall? How could he stand if he were that heavy? Does not the science of human anatomy tell us that Adam could not have been 60 cubits tall? What Muslim is prepared to defend Muhammad’s 90 ft. Adam?
II. The Fly in the Cup
If a fly falls into your cup, do not worry about it because Muhammad said that while one wing has the disease, the other has the antidote. So drink up (vol. 4, no. 537).
III. No Dogs Allowed
Angels will not enter a house if a dog is there according to vol. 4, no. 539. Thus Hadith no. 540, vol. 4, reads,
Allah’s Apostle ordered that the dogs should be killed.
Dog lovers would not make good Muslims.
IV. Islamic Genetics
Muhammad claimed that Gabriel gave him the secret as to why a child looks like its father or its mother. This answer was given to prove that Muhammad was Allah’s Apostle.
He declared,
As for the resemblance of the child to its parents: If a man has sexual intercourse with his wife and gets a discharge first, the child will resemble the father, and if the woman gets her discharge first, the child will resemble her (vol. 4, no. 546).
What modern Muslim is prepared to prove that one’s “discharge” and not genetics is the key to the physical characteristics of one’s children?
V. Stars as Missiles
The stars were created by Allah as missiles to throw at the devils, according to Muhammad in vol. 4, chap. 3, p. 282. Astronomers should be interested in this doctrine of Muhammad.
VI. Do as I Say—Not as I Do
Muhammad commanded everyone to have a will when he himself failed to make one.
I asked Adullah bin Abu Aufa, “Did the Prophet make a will?” He replied, “No.” I asked him, “How is it then that the making of a will has been enjoined on people?” (vol. 4, nos. 3, 4).
VII. What Do Spirits Eat?
The jinn or spirits eat dung and bones according to Muhammad (vol. 5, no. 200)! This bit of information is as far out as one can go.
VIII. No Assurance
Muhammad had no assurance of salvation.
The Prophet said, “By Allah, though I am the Apostle of Allah, yet I do not know what Allah will do to me” (vol. 5, no. 266).
IX. Murder and Deceit
Muhammad agreed to the murder of a man through lies and deceit (vol. 5, no. 369). He evidently did not believe in the sanctity of truth or life.
X. Six Hundred Wings
The angel Gabriel has 600 wings according to Muhammad (vol. 6, no. 380).
XI. Satan in Your Nose
Muhammad would suck in water up his nose and then blow it out because,
Satan stays in the upper part of the nose all night (vol. 4, no. 516).
I have yet to find a single Muslim who will defend this strange doctrine and practice of Muhammad.
XII. Fevers from Hell
Muhammad believed that a fever when sick was from the heat of hell.
The Prophet said, “Fever is from the heat of the [Hell] fire, so cool it with water” (vol. 4, nos. 483–486).
All sorts of questions come to mind when you really think about this doctrine of Muhammad.
XIII. Noah’s Ark
Noah’s Ark appeared and floated in front of their eyes (vol. 6, no. 391, chap. 288). How or why this happened we are not told.
XIV. Dirty Water Magic
Muhammad’s followers fought over who would get the dirty water left over from his washings. They would smear it on their bodies or drink it to secure a magical blessing from it (vol. 1, nos. 187, 188).
XV. Holy Spit
Even more gross was the practice of Muhammad spitting into the hands of his followers so they could smear his saliva on their faces!
By Allah, whenever Allah’s Apostle spitted, the spittle would fall in the hand of one of them [i.e., the Prophet’s companions] who would rub it on his face and skin (vol. 3, no. 891).
It was in this light that we can understand why Muhammad smeared dead bodies with his spit (vol. 2, nos. 360, 433).
XVI. Satan Urinating in the Ears
Satan urinates into the ears of those who fall asleep during prayers (vol. 2, no. 245).
XVII. Passing Wind
According to Muhammad, if you commit the sin of “hadath” (the passing of wind through the anus) while you are engaged in prayer, Allah will not hear your prayers! (vol. 1, no. 628; vol. 9, no. 86). Why Allah would be offended by the natural smells of the human body escapes us.
XVIII. Bad Breath
Bad breath means that Allah will not hear your prayers. You may not eat garlic or onions before going to prayers because Allah will not hear you with their smell on your breath. (vol. 1, nos. 812, 813, 814, 815; vol. 7, nos. 362, 363).
XIX. Yawning Is from Hell
Yawning is from Satan according to Muhammad in Hadith no. 509, vol. 4.
It seems clear from this Hadith, and the two previous ones, that it was really Muhammad who was offended by such things as bad breath, yawning, or passing wind.
That God would be offended by the natural processes of the human body which He made is not acceptable to the rational mind.
XX. Green Birds
According to Sheikh Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Hamid of the Sacred Mosque of Mecca (Saudi Arabia),
Allah’s Apostle said: The souls of the martyrs are in the bodies of green birds dwelling in paradise wherever they like (vol. 1, p. xxviii).
If this is true, we do not understand how these “green birds” will be able to “enjoy” all those beautiful women chained in different corners of paradise!
Conclusions
If Muhammad was truly Allah’s apostle, then what he taught came from Allah and must be true.
But if what he said is so outlandish and absurd that it cannot be true, then how can he be an apostle of Allah? The logic is inescapable. The Hadith is the final blow that explodes the claim of Muhammad that he was an apostle and prophet of God.
