This would be inconsequential except for two very important things:
- It was written down.
- Islam's most revered book (the Koran) says no less than 91 times that Muhammad is the ideal example of conduct for Muslims.
Unfortunately, the problem isn't confined to marriage. Muhammad serves as a model of conduct in other ways. He ordered non-Muslims assassinated for criticizing Islam, he aggressively conquered non-Muslims through war, he tortured, he raped, he owned slaves, and much more. And his example has been preserved in writing for all time.

ReplyDelete''Suffer the little children to come unto me''. I alway's took these words to mean, put up with a child's behaviour,after all they are small,defenceless,trusting and INNOCENT.These words were spoken by Jesus, the same Jesus that is claimed as a prophet by islam. The whole world knows that Christians have failed to live up to these words and betrayed that childish innocence. That betrayal was firstly against the child and also against the Word of God. Nowhere in the New Testament is there any hint that Jesus would approve of this behaviour. It is Un-Christian. Pedophilia and Thighing would appear to be islamic. islam needs to stop claiming Jesus as a prophet, it isn't worthy.
ReplyDeleteAUTHENTIC PREACHERS AND AUTHENTICITY OF PREACHING IN RELIGION
ReplyDeleteMd. Hanif
Even though there are many religions in this world, most of these have been preached at a time when there was no good system of recording. Out of the prominent religions Islam is the only religion whose preacher and his activities have been recorded in history. In fact he was the king of a large kingdom. During that period democracy was absent and men having exceptional physical strength, many friends or the sons of ruling kings become the ruler. When someone having none of these qualities became king, people knew that it happened so because of any trick. Spreading of religion was such a famous trick.
It is now meaningless to raise any discrepancy in their religious books of the old religions. If raised, the concerned followers would say, someone might have changed the original version, where no one would be able to produce any original. There is no such loophole in Islam, because their religious book was carefully recorded from the beginning. It is said that their god sent his sayings directly to the prophet through an angel. Then people recorded what the preacher said. In such a situation the followers have no scope to disagree to what has been written in their book.
When a man fabricates a religion for his selfish interests he would preach things that would instigate the greedy people to fight for him. If god preaches any religion it must target for the welfare of the entire mankind. God's preaching would in no way help any particular person, and not even the preacher.
PART III.
ReplyDeleteMEANING FROM HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: In the deserts the caravan journey from one oasis to another begins in the evening. The women sit on enclosed boxes and the slaves pick up the boxes on camel-back. One person (naquib) invites all to come and the journey begins. The caravan usually reaches destinations in the morning. In one such journey, after the caravan reached the destination, it was found that one wife of the preacher was found missing. The following evening one camel with two slaves were sent back to the previous oasis. They came back with the wife and one more person after the following night. Their staying in there for two nights made men to murmur. At this time god sent the preaching, "those who accuse honorable women but do not bring four witnesses scourge them (with) eighty stripes". It was natural that in such the offenders would disagree. There may be at best three male persons, but the number would never be four.
(02) CHAPTER 24. AN-NUR: LIGHT (LINE 31). Original text (Part): And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only that which is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment save to their own husbands or fathers or husbands fathers, or their sons or their husbands' sons, or their brothers or their brothers' sons or sisters sons, or their women, or their slaves, or male attendants who lack vigor, or children who know naught of women's nakedness.
MEANING FROM HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: God in the religious book said that women can leave their outer dress in front of some relatives and persons like, "... their own husbands or fathers or husbands fathers, or their sons or their husbands' sons….". While some of these are acceptable it is questionable why god included "husbands father" in this list. The answer to this question is important because of Chapter 33. Al-ahzab: The Clans, Line 37, where the preacher wished to marry his son's wife and the son had to divorce.
PART IV
ReplyDelete(03) CHAPTER 33. AL-AHZAB: THE CLANS (LINE 37): Original text (Part): 37. ….. And thou didst hide in thy mind that which Allah was to bring to light, and thou didst fear mankind whereas Allah had a better right that thou shouldst fear Him. So when Zeyd had performed the necessary formality (of divorce) from her, We gave her unto thee in marriage, so that (henceforth) there may be no sin for believers in respect of wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have performed the necessary formality (of release) from them….
MEANING FROM HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: The preacher released his slave Zeyd and made him his foster son. Zeyd married Zainab. God came to know what was in the preacher's mind because in the religious book he said: "And thou didst hide in thy mind that which Allah was to bring to light". Zeyd divorced his wife and the preacher married her. God said, "So when Zeyd had performed the necessary formality (of divorce) from her, We gave her unto thee in marriage,..". In addition God endeavored to justify such act by saying, "so that (henceforth) there may be no sin for believers in respect of wives of their adopted sons,".
(04) CHAPTER 33. AL-AHZAB: THE CLANS (LINE 53) : Original text (Part): O you who believe! Enter not the dwellings of the Prophet for a meal without waiting for the proper time, unless permission be granted to you. But if you are invited, enter, and, when, your meal is ended, then disperse. Linger not for conversation. Lo! That would cause annoyance to the Prophet, and he would be shy of (asking) you (to go); but God is not shy of the truth. And when you ask of them (the wives of the Prophet) anything, ask it of them from behind a curtain. That is purer for your hearts and for their hearts. And it is not for you to cause annoyance to the Messenger of God, nor that you should ever marry his wives after him. Lo! That in God's sight would be an enormity..
MEANING FROM HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: The leaders of prospective tribes who could accept the new religion were invited to stay and take food in the preacher's house. They entered the house probably without permission and spent more time than needed in eating and gossiping. So, god sent the preaching, "when, your meal is ended, then disperse. Linger not for conversation". God also said, "nor that you should ever marry his wives after him".
There are many other preaching in the book that prove beyond any doubt that probably it was not from any divine source, but could have been someone's creation.
A jihadwatch.org article explains it well where it reads Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths of the Islamic world. Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law.”.
ReplyDeleteMale Muslim marriage of an adult man to a young girl who is really only a child of common in the world of Islam. One of the “reasons” for this female child abuse in Islam is because of the corrupt and perverse wickedness in the hearts of men. This is seen and described in the Bible with reads “The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9. [N.K.J.V.]
Furthermore, another “reason” girl/child marriages occur with middle aged and even old men is because the founder and prophet of Islam Muhammad married a child. Muslims throughout history as well as in current times actually view Muhammad as a “perfect man” and a “great example for them to follow.”
This well might prove the old saying to be true .The saying is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”
It’s also wise to remember prophet Muhammad did likewise engaged in brutal, ruthless murderous warfare. As do Muslim today such as the jihadist Muslim of ISIS, al Qaeda, Hezbollah Hamas and so forth. Many that old saying, just sited above, also explains the excuse for Muslim terrorism in the world today.
Jesus Himself Taught “By their fruits you will know them.” Matthew 7:20. Which might explain the vile child “marriage” of Muhammad and his violent and deadly behavior .Likewise also explains the twenty- first century Muslims who in child marriages and blood and murderous violence of Islam .As they see the prophet Muhammad d as their example of who to follow.
With all this about the fruits of Islam along with fruits history reveals about the life of the prophet of Islam, Muhammad .It thus further appropriate to make known that it might be in keeping with teaching of Jesus that Muhammad could well have been an actual prophet . Nevertheless the very most important thing to understand is the Muhammad was not a prophet send by God . Instead Muhammad was a lying deceptive false prophet send by Satan to start a false religion to lead many people astray.
For Jesus taught “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.” Matthew 7:15.
The Islamic practice of an adult male Muslim having a marriage with a little girl who is only a child is clearly seen by most Westerners as a blatant action of child abuse of the vilest sort.
ReplyDeleteNevertheless this heinous Islam tradition is accepted as “normal “in most of the Islamic world. Therefore, this may serve as an example of how the influence of Islam is able to warp the cogitation of the human mind to the extent that a person who is a Muslim might not be able to understand the obvious difference between right and wrong.
Such an awful thing as not having the discerning mental power to seethe clear difference is described in the Bible. For in Isaiah 5:20. “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil…” ]N.K.J.V.]
