DEMONS & DEVILS:
Muslim:C14B39N6759 “Aisha, the wife of Allah’s
Apostle, reported: ‘Allah’s Messenger left my apartment during the night.
Then he came and he saw me in an agitated state.’ He said: “Aisha, what
has happened to you? Do you feel jealous?” I said: “How can it be that a
girl like me would not feel jealous in regard to a husband like you? Thereupon
Allah’s Messenger said: “It is your devil who has come to you.” I said:
“Allah’s Messenger, is there a devil with me?” He said: “Yes.” I
said: “Is there a devil attached to everyone?” He said: “Yes.” I said:
“Allah’s Messenger, is there a devil attached to you also?” He said:
“Yes.”’”
Muslim:C14B39N6757 “Allah’s Messenger said: ‘There
is none amongst you with whom is not an attaché from amongst the jinn, a
devil.’ The Companions said: ‘Allah’s Messenger, is there a devil with
you too?’ Thereupon he said: ‘Yes, but Allah helps me against him so I am
safe from his hand and he does not command me but for good.’”
Bukhari:V6B60N475 “Allah’s Apostle became sick and
could not offer his prayer. A lady came and said, ‘Muhammad! I think that
your Satan has forsaken you, for I have not seen him with you for two or three
nights!’ On that Allah revealed: ‘By the night when it darkens, your Lord
has neither forsaken you, nor hated you.’” [93:1]
Ishaq:166 “‘You have recited to the people that
which I did not bring to you from Allah, and you have said that which He did
not say to you.’ The Messenger was grieved and feared Allah greatly. So
Allah sent a revelation to him, consoling him and making light of the affair
[of worldly bargains and Satanic indulgences]. He informed him that there had
never been a prophet or messenger before who desired as he desired and wished
as he wished but that Satan had cast words into his recitation, as he had
interjected them on Muhammad’s tongue and into his desires.”
Ishaq:166 “Then Allah annulled what Satan had cast,
and established his verses by telling him that he was like other prophets and
messengers. Every Messenger or Prophet before you recited the message Satan
cast into his recitation. Allah abrogates what Satan casts. Then Allah
established his verses.’”
Koran 22:52 “Never did We send a messenger or a
prophet before you, but, when he framed a desire, Satan threw some vanity into
his desire: but Allah will cancel anything (vain) that Satan throws in.”
[Another translation reads:] “He recited (the message) Satan proposed. But
Allah abolishes that which Satan proposes.” [A third claims:] “Satan made
a suggestion respecting his desire; but Allah annuls that which Satan
casts,” [A fourth:] “whose recitations Satan tampered with, yet Allah
abrogates what Satan interpolates; and Allah will confirm His
Signs/Revelations.”
Koran 22:53 “He may make the suggestions thrown in
by Satan, the Devil’s proposals, but a trial and temptation for those in
whose hearts is a disease. Verily the wrong-doers are in a schism. And those
on whom knowledge has been bestowed may learn that the (Koran) is the truth
from your Lord, that they may believe, and their hearts may submit lowly
before it.”
Tabari VI:110 “Thus Allah removed the sorrow from his
Messenger, reassured him about that which he had feared, and cancelled the
words which Satan had cast on his tongue, that their gods were exalted
high-flying cranes (goddesses) whose intercession was accepted with approval.
He now revealed, following the mention of ‘Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat,’
the words: ‘are yours the males and his the females? That indeed is an
unfair division!”
Koran 53:1 “I call to witness the Star when it
dips. Your Companion (Muhammad) is neither confused, deceived, nor misled
[except by Satan, in the guise of Allah]. Nor does he speak out of (his own)
desire [unless he is tempted with money, sex, and power]. It is a revelation
revealed, He was taught (this Koran) by the Supreme Intellect (Gabriel
[actually Lucifer]), One free from any defect in body or mind: for he rose and
became stable (in stately form), clear to view. While he was in the highest
part of the horizon, then he approached and came closer, then he prostrated.
He was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or nearer.”
Koran 53:19 “Have you then seen or thought upon
Al-Lat and Al-Uzza (two idols of the pagan Arabs), and considered another, the
third (goddess), Manat (of the pagan deities)? What! for you sons, the male
sex, and for Him, daughters, the female? Are yours the males and His the
females? Behold, such would be indeed a division most unfair!”
Tabari VI:110 “When Muhammad brought a revelation from
Allah canceling what Satan had cast on the tongue of His Prophet, the Quraysh
said, ‘Muhammad has repented of what he said concerning the position of our
gods with Allah.”
Tabari VI:116/Ishaq:193 “When the Messenger despaired
of getting any positive response from the Thaqif, he left Ta’if to return to
Mecca. When he was at Nakhlah, he rose in the middle of the night to pray,
and, as Allah has told [in the Koran], a number of the jinn [devils] passed
by. They listened to him, and when he had completed his prayer they went back
to their people to warn them, having believed and responded to what they had
heard. Allah mentioned their story when he said: Koran 46:29
“Behold, We turned towards you (Muhammad) a company of Jinn who wished to
hear the Koran: when they stood in the presence thereof, they said, ‘Give
ear!’”
Koran 46:30 “We [Jinns/Demons] have heard a Book
revealed after Moses, confirming what came before it: it guides to the Truth
and to a Straight Path.’ ‘O our people, hearken to the one who invites
(you) to Allah, and believe in him. He will forgive you your sins, and deliver
you from a Penalty Grievous.’”
Bukhari:V2B21N245 “A person slept in and missed the
morning prayer. So the Prophet said, ‘Satan urinated in his ears.’”
Bukhari:V4B54N494 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘When the
upper edge of the sun appears in the morning, don’t perform a prayer till it
has risen. When the lower edge of the sun sets, don’t perform a prayer till
it has set, for the sun rises between two sides of the Satan’s head.’”
Bukhari:V4B54N509 “The Prophet said, ‘Yawning is
from Satan and if anyone of you yawns, he should check his yawning as much as
possible, for if anyone of you during the act of yawning should say: “Ha,”
Satan will laugh at him.’”
Bukhari:V4B54N513 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘A good
dream is from Allah, and a bad dream is from Satan; so if anyone of you has a
bad dream and is afraid, he should spit on his left side, for then it will not
harm him.’”
Bukhari:V4B54N516 “The Prophet said, ‘If anyone
rouses from sleep and performs ablution, he should wash his nose by putting
water in it and then blow it out thrice because Satan has stayed in the upper
part of his nose all the night.’”
Bukhari:V4B54N522 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘When you
hear the crowing of cocks seek blessings, their crowing indicates that they
have seen an angel. When you hear the braying of donkeys, seek refuge, for
their braying indicates that they have seen Satan.’”
Ishaq:72 “Some months after Muhammad’s return to the
desert two men in white seized the boy, threw him down and opened up his
belly, stirring it up. His wet nurse said, ‘I am afraid that this child has
had a stroke, so I want to take him back before the result appears.’ She
carried him back to Muhammad’s mother and said, ‘I am afraid that ill will
befall him, so I have brought him back to you.’ She asked what had happened.
I said, ‘I fear that a demon has possessed him.’”
Ishaq:90 “Jewish rabbis, Christian monks, and Arab
soothsayers had spoken about the Apostle of Allah before his mission when his
time drew near. The rabbis and monks found his description in their
scriptures. The Arab occultists had been visited by satans from the jinn with
reports which they had secretly overheard before they were prevented form
hearing by being pelted with stars.”
Ishaq:91 “The Prophet explained the nature of shooting
stars. ‘Allah shut off the satans by these stars which pelted them. So
satans tried to steal information, listening in, mingling what they heard with
conjecture and false intelligence. They conveyed it to the soothsayers.’”
Koran 67:5 “Your gaze turns back dazed and tired.
We have adorned the lowest skies with lamps, and We have made them missiles to
drive away the devils and against the stone Satans, and for them We have
prepared the doom of Hell and the penalty of torment in the most intense
Blazing Fire.”
Koran 37:6 “We have decked the lower heaven with
stars to protect them against all rebellious evil spirit, and provide security
from every forward devil. So they cannot listen to the highest chiefs for they
are pelted from every side, repulsed; they are under a perpetual torment,
being driven off. Except such as they snatch away something by stealth, but
then they are pursued by a flaming fire of piercing brightness.”
Bukhari:V4B54N508 “The Prophet said, ‘While angels
talk amidst the clouds about things that are going to happen, devils hear what
they say and pour it in the ears of soothsayers as one pours something in a
bottle, and they add one hundred lies to it.’”
Muslim:C10B16N4168 “Allah’s Messenger said: ‘He
seems to be one of the soothsayers on account of the rhymed speech which he
has composed.’”
Koran 72:1 “Say (Muhammad): ‘It has been revealed
to me that a group of (three to ten) Jinn [demons or devils] listened (to the
Koran). They said, “We have heard a really wonderful recital (of this
Koran)! It guides to the Right Path. We have come to believe it. We shall
not associate anything with our Lord.”
Koran 72:3 “There were some foolish ones among us,
who used to utter preposterous things, atrocious lies against the Lord; We
Jinn [Devils] had thought that no man or jinn would ever say anything untrue
about the Lord. But there were men who took shelter with the male jinn. But
they (jinn) increased them in waywardness, folly, and revolt. And surely they
came to think as you thought, that the Lord would not raise up any Messenger.
We jinn pried into the secrets of heaven; but we found it filled with fierce
guards, stern wardens and flaming fires. We used to sit there in, hidden in
observatories, trying to steal a hearing; but any who listen now will find a
shooting star and a flaming fire watching him, lying in wait as an ambush for
him. And we Jinn know not whether harm or evil is the intended fate of all men
on earth, or whether the Lord intends to give them some guidance.”
Bukhari:V6B60N332 “The Prophet said, ‘Last night a
demon from the Jinn came to me to disturb my prayer, but Allah gave me the
power to overcome him. I intended to tie him to one of the pillars of the
mosque till the morning so that all of you could see him.’”
Bukhari:V5B58N199 “‘Who informed you Prophet about
the Jinn [Demons] when they heard the Koran?’ He said, ‘A tree informed
me about them.’”
Bukhari:V9B93N650 “Some people asked the Prophet about
soothsayers. ‘Allah’s Apostle! Some of their talks come true.’ The
Prophet said, ‘That word which happens to be true is what a Jinn snatches
away by stealth (from Heaven) and pours it in the ears of the soothsayer with
a sound like the cackling of a hen. The soothsayer mixes it with one hundred
lies.’”
Tabari VI:73/Ishaq:107 “‘Cousin, can you tell me
when this visitor comes to you?’ Muhammad replied, ‘Yes.’ She said,
‘Tell me then, when he comes.’ Gabriel came to him as before, and Muhammad
said, ‘Here is Gabriel who has just come to me.’ She said, ‘Yes? Come,
cousin, and sit by my left thigh.’ He came, and she said, ‘Can you see
him?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Move around and sit by my right thigh.’ He did so and
she said, ‘Can you see him?’ ‘Yes.’ She said, ‘Sit in my lap.’ He
did so, and she said, ‘Can you see him?’ He replied, ‘Yes.’ She was
grieved, and flung off her veil and disclosed her body while the Apostle was
sitting in her lap, inside her shift next to her body. Then she said, ‘Can
you see him?’ ‘No.’ At that she said, ‘Rejoice cousin. By Allah, this
spirit is an angel and not Satan.’”
Koran 74:32 “Truly: I swear by the Moon as a
witness, and by the darkness of night.”
Ishaq:510 “When the Apostle looked down on Khaybar he
told his Companions, ‘O Allah, Lord of the heavens and what they overshadow,
and Lord of the Devils and what into error they throw, and Lord of the winds
and what they winnow, we ask Thee for the booty of this town and its people.
Forward in the name of Allah.’”
Ishaq:106 “None of Allah’s creatures was more
hateful to me than an ecstatic poet or a man possessed. I thought, ‘Woe is
me, I’m a possessed poet.’” Ishaq:106 “I will go
to the top of the mountain and throw myself down that I may kill myself and be
at rest.”
Ishaq:106 “I stood gazing at him and that distracted
me from committing suicide. I couldn’t move. Khadija sent her messengers in
search of me and they gained the high ground above Mecca so I came to her and
sat by her thigh. She said, ‘O Abu’l-Qasim [Muhammad’s actual name],
where have you been?’ I said, ‘Woe is me. I am possessed.’”
Tabari VI:70 “He went to Khadija and said, ‘I think
that I have gone mad.’”
Ishaq:132-3 “If this demonic spirit which has
possession of you is such that you cannot get rid of him, we will find a
physician for you, and exhaust our means trying to cure you. For often a
demonic spirit gets possession of a man, but he can be rid of it.’ The
Apostle listened patiently.”
Koran 74:32 “No, truly: I swear by the Moon as a
witness, and by the darkness of night as it wanes. And by the dawn as it is
unveiled, surely Hell is one of the greatest signs and gravest misfortunes, a
warning to men.”
Koran 75:1 “I swear by the the self-reproaching
spirit, the accusing soul.”
Koran 69:38 “But nay! I swear that this is truly
the word of an honored, illustrious, and noble Messenger; it is not the word
of a poet, nor is it the word of a soothsayer.”
Koran 69:43 “This is a Message sent down from the
Lord of men and jinn [demons]. And if the Messenger were to attribute any
false words to Us, We would seize him and cut his aorta. None of you would be
able to stop Us. So truly this is a Message for those who fear. Yet We know
that there are those who deny and belie (this Koran). But truly this (Koran)
revelation is a cause of sorrow and anguish; the nemesis of unbelievers.”
Koran 70:26 “Fear the torment of the Lord, for the
Lord’s torment is such none can feel secure.”
Koran 68:1 “I call to witness the Pen and what it
writes. You are not a demented madman or possessed.”
Koran 68:44 “Then leave Me alone with such as
reject this Message and call Our pronouncements a lie. Systematically by
degrees, step by step, We shall punish them in ways they can not even
imagine.”
Koran 68:51 “And the unbelievers would almost smite
you (Muhammad) with their eyes, tripping you when they hear the Message. And
they say: ‘Surely he is possessed!’”
Bukhari:V6B60N662 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Some
eloquent speech is as effective as magic.’”
Bukhari:V9B87N127 “The Prophet said, ‘I have
been given the keys of eloquent speech.’”
Bukhari:V6B60N658 “A man worked magic on Allah’s
Apostle until he started imagining that he had done a thing that he had not
really done.”
Muslim:B001N0244/Bukhari:V4B54N496 “The Messenger of
Allah observed: ‘Satan comes to everyone of you and says, “Who created
this and that,” until he asks, “Who created your Lord?” When he comes to
that, one should seek refuge and keep away from such idle thoughts.’”
Bukhari:V4B54N533 “Muhammad preached, ‘Cover your
utensils, tie your water skins, close your doors, and keep your children close
at night, as Jinn spread out at such time and snatch things away. When you go
to bed put out your lights, for they may use a candle to burn you and your
house.’ Ata added, ‘The Prophet actually said, Devils, instead of
Jinn.’”
Koran 72:13 “So, since we [Jinn/Devils] have
listened to the guidance (of the Koran), we have accepted (Islam): and any
who believes in his Lord has no fear of loss, force, or oppression.”
Koran 79:1 “I swear by those who violently tear out
(the souls), and drag them to destruction.”
Bukhari:V4B54N506 “When a human being is born, Satan
touches him at both sides of the body with his two fingers. That is why it
cries.’”
Koran 81:24 “Neither is he a concealer, withholding
knowledge of the unseen. Nor is it (the Koran) the Word of an evil spirit
accursed, the utterance of a devil, the curses of Satan.”
Koran 81:26 “Then where are you going? Verily this
(Koran) is no less than a reminder to all the Alamin (men and jinn [demons
or devils]).”
Koran 89:1 “I swear by the dawn, and the ten
nights, and the even and the odd, and the night when it departs.”
Koran 89:21 “Nay, when the earth is made to crumble
the Lord comes, His angels rank upon rank, and Hell is brought face to face,
man will remember, but how will that avail him? For His Chastisement will be
such as no other can inflict. None punishes as He will punish! None can bind
as He will bind.”
Koran 92:1 “I swear by the night when it draws a
veil.”
Koran 6:66 “The people reject this (Book) and call
it a lie though it is the truth. Say: ‘I am not a warden over you.’
...When you see men who meddle with Our Revelations, turn away, withdrawing
from them. Satan makes you forget.”
Ishaq:548 “By Allah, the black mass has spread. Abu
Bakr said, ‘There is not much honesty among people nowadays.’”
Ishaq:569 “When the Muslims fled, the uncouth and rude
fellows from Mecca who were with us saw that we were in total disarray. Some
of them spoke in a manner that disclosed the hatred they harbored against us.
Abu Sufyan [the Meccan chief turned Muslim warrior] had divining arrows with
him but another Muslim said, ‘Sorcery is useless today.’ Sufyan replied,
‘Shut up! May Allah smash your mouth!’”
Tabari IX:14/Ishaq:572 “While the men were still
fighting I saw a black striped garment descending from the sky until it
dropped between us and the enemy. I gazed, and lo, it was a mass of black ants
strewn everywhere, which filled the valley. I had no doubt that they were
angels and that the enemy would be routed.”
Ishaq:580 “Our strong warriors obey his orders to the
letter. By us Allah’s religion is undeniably strong. You would think when
our horses gallop with bits in their mouths that the sounds of demons are
among them.”
Tabari IX:121 “The Messenger called me and said, ‘I
suspect that Khalid Sufyan is going to attack me. So go to him and kill
him.’ ‘O Prophet, describe him to me so that I might know him.’ He said,
‘When you see him he will remind you of Satan.’”
Bukhari:V4B54N491 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘While
you sleep, Satan ties three knots at the back of your head. He blows the
following words at each knot, “The night is long so keep sleeping.” If
that person wakes up and praises Allah, then one knot is undone. When he
performs ablution the second is undone. When he prays, all the knots are
undone, and he gets up in the morning lively and gay, otherwise he is dull and
gloomy.’”
Bukhari:V7B71N660 “Magic was worked on Allah’s
Apostle so that he used to think that he had sexual relations with his wives
while he actually had not. That is the hardest kind of magic as it has such an
effect. One day he said, ‘O Aisha, do you know that Allah has instructed me
concerning the matter I asked Him about? Two men came to me and one of them
sat near my head and the other near my feet. The one asked, “What is wrong
with this man?” “He is under the effect of magic.” “Who cast the magic
spell on him?” “Labid, an Arab ally of the Jews and a hypocrite.”
“What material did he use to cast the spell?” “A comb with hair stuck to
it.” “Where is that comb and hair?” “In a skin of pollen of a male
palm tree kept under a stone in the well of Dharwan.”’ So the Prophet went
to that well and took out those things, saying, ‘That was the well shown to
me in the dream. Its water looked red and its palms looked like the heads of
devils. My companions removed those things.’ I said, ‘Why didn’t you
just treat yourself?’ He said, ‘Allah has cured me, and I don’t want to
spread evil among my people.’”
Bukhari:V7B71N661 “Magic was worked on Allah’s
Apostle so that he began to imagine he had done something although he had not.
While he was with me, he invoked Allah for a long period and then said,
‘Aisha! Do you know what Allah has instructed me to do regarding the matter
I asked Him about?’ ‘What is that?’ He said, ‘Two men came to me. One
said, “What is the disease of this man?” The other replied, “He is under
the effect of magic.” “Who has worked magic on him?” “Labid, a Jew
from the Zuraiq tribe.”’”
Bukhari:V5B58N200 “I carried a water pot for the
Prophet’s ablution and for cleaning his private parts. While following him
with the pot, the Prophet turned and said, ‘Who are you?’ ‘I am Abu.’
The Prophet said, ‘Bring me stones in order to clean my private parts, but
do not bring any bones or animal dung.’ So I brought some stones, carrying
them in the corner of my robe till I put them by his side. When he finished, I
walked with him and asked, ‘What can you tell me about the bones and the
animal dung?’ He said, ‘They are of the food of Jinns [Devils]. A delegate
of Jinns of the city of Nasibin came to me—and how nice those Jinns
were—and asked me for the remains of human food. I invoked Allah for them
that they would never pass by a bone or animal dung but find food on
them.’”
Bukhari:V4B54N484 “I heard Muhammad saying, ‘Fever
is from the heat of the Hell Fire; so cool it with water.’”
Bukhari:V1B11N582 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘When the
Adhan [the call to prayer] is announced, Satan takes to his heels and passes
wind with noise during his flight in order not to hear the Adhan.’”
Bukhari:V3B33N254 “Satan circulates in the human being
as blood circulates. I was afraid lest Satan might insert an evil thought in
your minds.”
Bukhari:V6B61N530 “Allah’s Apostle ordered me to
guard the Zakat revenue. Then somebody came and started stealing food. I
caught him and said, ‘I’m going to take you to Allah’s Apostle!’ He
replied, ‘Please don’t take me to him. If you spare me that fate I will
tell you a few words by which Allah will benefit you.’ So then he said,
‘When you go to bed recite Ayat-al-Kursi, (2:255) for then a guard from
Allah will protect you from Satan.’ When the Prophet heard the story he
said, ‘He who came to you at night told you the truth although he is a liar;
and it was Satan.’”
Tabari VI:107 “Satan Cast a False Koran Revelation
on the Messenger of Allah’s Tongue.”
Koran 113:1 “Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of
the Dawn from the mischief of the evil He created.” Koran 113:3
“From the mischievous evil of Darkness as it becomes intensely dark, and
from the mischief of those who practice the evil of malignant witchcraft and
blowing on knots, and from the mischievous evil of the envier when he
covets.”
Bukhari:V7B71N643 “I heard the Prophet saying, ‘If
anyone sees something he dislikes, he should blow three times on his left side
and its evil will not harm him.’”
Bukhari:V6B61N535 “Whenever the Prophet became ill he
used to blow his breath over his body hoping for its blessing.”
Bukhari:V6B61N536 “When the Prophet went to bed he would cup his
hands together and blow over them reciting surahs. He would then rub his hands
over whatever parts of his body he could reach, starting with his head, face
and frontal areas.”
Koran 114:1 “Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of men
and jinn [demons], the King of men and jinn, the Ilah (God) of men and
jinn.”
Koran 114:4 “From the evil of the sneaking Devil
who Whispers Evil and withdraws after his whisper, the slinking Satan, the
same who whispers into the hearts of mankind from among the jinn and men.”
Koran 52:29 “Therefore remind: By the Grace of your
Lord, you are no vulgar soothsayer, nor are you a possessed madman.”
Koran 55:35 “There will be let loose on you
white-hot flames of fire and smoke that chokes so that you will not be able to
defend yourselves.”
Koran 55:41 “The sinners will be seized by their
forelock and feet. Which of the favors of your Lord will you then deny? This
is the Hell the sinners called a lie. They will go round and round between its
fierce fires and boiling water. Which of the favors of your Lord will you then
deny?”
Ishaq:205/Tabari VI:133 “When we had all sworn the
oath of allegiance to the Messenger, Satan shouted from the top of Aqabah in
the most piercing and penetrating voice I have ever heard. ‘People of the
[pagan ritual] stations [of the idolatrous hajj] of Mina, do you want to
follow a blameworthy reprobate?’ The Messenger said, ‘What does the Enemy
of God say?’ ‘I am the Devil, and I shall deal with you!’”
Ishaq:262 “‘To arms! To arms!’ the Muslims said
quarreling and boasting among themselves. When this reached the Prophet, he
said, ‘Muslims, will you act as pagans while I am with you?’ They realized
that their dissension was due to Satan and the guile of their enemy. Then they
went off with the Apostle attentive and obedient.”
Koran 2:102 “They follow what Satan chanted and
gave out during the lifetime of Solomon. Though Solomon never disbelieved, the
devils denied and taught sorcery to men, which they said had been revealed to
the angels of Babylon, Harut, and Marut. However, these two (angels) never
taught without saying: ‘We have been sent to deceive you.’”
Koran 8:10 “Allah made the victory [killing,
kidnapping, and stealing] but a message of hope, a glad tiding, to reassure
you. Victory [of this kind] comes only from Allah. Lo! Allah is Almighty. He
covered you with slumber, as a security from Him. He sent down rain to clean
you of the plague of evil suggestions of Satan, that you might plant your feet
firmly.”
Ishaq:327 “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter
before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land.
Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom
captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the
religion.’”
Koran 3:175 “It is the Devil who would make (men)
fear his messengers and frighten you. Fear them not; fear Me, if you are
believers. And let not those grieve you who fall into unbelief hastily; surely
they can do no harm to Allah; they cannot injure Him; Allah intends that He
should not give them any portion in the hereafter, and they shall have a
grievous doom.” [top]
PREDESTINATION:
Tabari I:202 “There are people who consider
predestination untrue. Then they consider the Koran untrue…. People
merely carry out what is a foregone conclusion, decided by predestination and
written down by the Pen.”
Koran 97:1 “We have revealed it (the Koran) in
the Night of Predestination.”
Bukhari:V6B60N473 “Every created soul has his place
written for him either in Paradise or in the Hell Fire. His happy or miserable
fate is predetermined for him.”
Bukhari:V6B60N473 “While we were in a funeral
procession, Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Every created soul has his place
written for him either in Paradise or in Hell. They have a happy or miserable
fate predestined for them.’ A man said, ‘Apostle! Shall we depend upon
what is written and give up doing deeds? For whoever is destined to be
fortunate, will join the fortunate and whoever is destined to be miserable
will go to Hell.’”
Tabari I:306 “The Messenger said, “Allah created
Adam and then rubbed Adam’s back with his right hand and brought forth his
progeny. Then He said, ‘I have created these as the inhabitants of
Paradise.’ Then he rubbed his back with His left hand and said, ‘I have
created those for the Fire, and they will act as the inhabitants of the
Fire.’ A man asked, ‘O Messenger, how is that?’ Muhammad replied,
‘When Allah creates a human being for Paradise, He employs him to act as the
inhabitants of Paradise, and he will enter Paradise. And when Allah creates a
human being for the Fire, He will employ him to act as the inhabitants of the
Fire, and will thus make him enter the Fire.’”
Tabari I:305 “Then Allah rubbed Adam’s back and
brought forth his progeny. And every living being to be created by Allah to
the Day of Resurrection came forth. He scattered them in front of him like
tiny ants. He took two handfuls and said to those on the right, ‘Enter
Paradise! And He said to the others, ‘Enter the Fire! I do not care.’”
Koran 70:1 “A questioner questioned concerning the
doom about to fall upon the infidels, which none can avert or repel.”
Bukhari:V4B55N550 “The Prophet said, ‘Allah has
appointed an angel in the womb, and the angel says, “Lord, a drop of semen
discharge. Lord, a clot, Lord, a piece of flesh.” And then, if Allah wishes
to complete the child’s creation, the angel will say. Lord, male or a
female? Lord, wretched or blessed in religion? What will his livelihood be?
What will his age be?” The angel writes all this while the child is in the
womb of its mother.’”
Bukhari:V4B54N430 “Allah’s Apostle, the true and
truly inspired said, ‘Regarding the matter of the creation of a human being:
humans are put together in the womb of the mother in forty days. Then he
becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period. He becomes a piece of
flesh for forty days. Then Allah sends an angel who is ordered to write four
things: the new creature’s deeds, livelihood, date of death, and whether he
will be blessed or wretched. He will do whatever is written for him.’”
Bukhari:V7B71N665 “The Prophet said, ‘No contagious
disease is conveyed without Allah’s permission.’”

MUHAMMAD’S MORALITY:
Koran 66:1 “O Prophet! Why forbid yourself that
which Allah has made lawful to you? You seek to please your consorts. And
Allah is Forgiving, Most Kind. Allah has already sanctioned for you the
dissolution of your vows.”
Bukhari:V4B52N143 “The Prophet told an Ansar,
‘Choose one of your slave boys to serve me in my expedition to Khaybar.’
So, he chose me, even though I was just nearing puberty. I served Muhammad
when he stopped to rest. I heard him saying repeatedly, ‘Allah! I seek
refuge with you from distress and sorrow, from helplessness and laziness, from
miserliness and cowardice, from being heavily in debt and from being overcome
by men.’”
Koran 8:29 “O you who believe! If you obey and fear
Allah, He will grant you a criterion to judge between right and wrong, or a
way to overlook your evil thoughts and deeds.”
Ishaq:288 “The Quraysh said, ‘Muhammad and his
Companions have violated the sacred month, shed blood, seized property, and
taken men captive. Muhammad claims that he is following obedience to Allah,
yet he is the first to violate the holy month and to kill.’”
Koran 8:68 “Had it not been for a previous
agreement from Allah, a severe penalty would have reached you for the (ransom)
that you took as booty.”
Koran 8:69 “So enjoy what you took as booty; the
spoils are lawful and good.”
Ishaq:327 “Allah made booty lawful and good. He used
it to incite the Muslims to unity of purpose. So enjoy what you have
captured.”
Koran 8:40 “If people are obstinate, and refuse to
surrender, know that Allah is your Supporter. And know that one fifth of all
the booty you take belongs to Allah, and to the Messenger, and for the near
relatives (of the Messenger).”
Tabari VI:89 “Utaibah came before the Prophet
and said: ‘I repudiate Islam.’ Then he spat at him, but his spital did not
fall on him. The Prophet prayed: ‘O Allah, subject him to the power of a dog
from among Your dogs.’”
Ishaq:106 “I will go to the top of the mountain and
throw myself down that I may kill myself and be at rest.”
Koran 70:28 “Preserve their chastity except with
their wives and the slave girls they possess—for which there is no blame.”
Tabari VIII:116/Ishaq:511 “So Muhammad began seizing
their herds and their property bit by bit. He conquered home by home. The
Messenger took some of its people captive, including Safiyah, and her two
cousins. The Prophet chose Safiyah for himself.”
Tabari VIII:121/Ishaq:515 “Safiyah was brought to him,
and another woman with her. Bilal led them past some of the Jews we had slain
including the woman’s dead husband. When she saw them, the woman with
Safiyah cried out, slapped her face, and poured dust on her head. When
Allah’s Prophet saw her, he said, ‘Take this she-devil away from me!’”
Tabari VIII:123/Ishaq:515 “Allah’s Apostle besieged
the final [Jewish] community until they could hold out no longer. Finally,
when they were certain that they would perish, they asked Muhammad to banish
them and spare their lives, which he did. The Prophet took possession of all
their property.”
Tabari VIII:124/Ishaq:516/Bukhari:V5B59N541 “Having
finished with Khaybar, the Apostle went to Wadi Qura and besieged its people
for a while. Then we headed back to Medina, halting at Qura toward sunset.
With Muhammad was a slave lad of his whom Rifa’ah had given him. Suddenly,
as we were setting down the saddle of the Prophet, a stray arrow came and hit
the slave boy, killing him. We congratulated him, saying, ‘May he enjoy
Paradise!’ But Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Certainly not! The sheet of cloth
on his back is now being burnt on him in the Hell Fire!’ He pilfered it from
the booty of the Muslims following the Khaybar raid before it was duly
distributed.”
Tabari VIII:12 “‘Rejoice, Allah has promised us
victory after tribulation.’ This increased the Muslims faith and submission.
When cities were conquered Muslims used to say, ‘Conquer for yourselves
whatever seems good to you because all treasures were given to Muhammad.”
Koran 24:58 “Believers, let your slave girls, and
those who have not come to puberty, ask permission (before they come in your
presence) on three occasions: before dawn, while you take off your clothes at
midday, and after the night prayer. These are your times of undress—times of
privacy for you. Outside those times it is not wrong for them to move about:
Thus does Allah make clear the Signs.”
Ishaq:535 “The women began to cry after learning about
Ja’far’s death. Disturbed, Muhammad told Abd-Rahman to silence them. When
they wouldn’t stop wailing, Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Go and tell them to
be quiet, and if they refuse throw dust in their mouths.’”
Koran 64:14 “Believers, truly, among your wives and
your children there are enemies for you: so beware of them! ... Your wealth
and your children are only a trial.”
Koran 8:28 “And know that your property and your
children are just a temptation.”
Koran 4:135 “Believers, stand out for justice as
witnesses for Allah even against yourselves, your parents, your family, and
relatives whether it be against rich or poor.”
Koran 9:23 “Believers, take not for friends your
fathers and your brothers if they love disbelief above belief. If you do, you
do wrong. Say: If your fathers, your sons, your families, your wives,
relatives and property which you have acquired, and the slackness of trade
which you fear and dwellings which you like, are dearer to you than Allah and
His Messenger and striving hard, fighting in His Cause, then wait till Allah
brings about His torment.”
Tabari VIII:183 “When the Messenger was finished with
the men’s swearing of allegiance, the women swore allegiance. You are
swearing allegiance to me.... ‘Do not kill your children.’ A woman said,
‘We raised them and you killed them. You know better about killing them than
we do.’ Umar laughed immoderately at her words.”
Bukhari:V1B4N1229-33 “Aisha [who was 9] said, ‘I
used to wash semen off the Prophet’s [who was 53] clothes. When he went for
prayers I used to notice one or more spots on them.’”
Ishaq:572 “When the Apostle learned that one of the
Meccans had died in the battle, he said, ‘Allah curse him!’ He used to
hate the Quraysh.”
Ishaq:594 “The Apostle gave gifts to those whose
hearts were to be won over, notably the chiefs of the army, to win them and
through them the people.”
Ishaq:499 “The Apostle provided some compensation that
included a castle, some property, a portion of the zakat tax, and a Copt slave
girl.”
Tabari IX:34 “Khuwaysirah came and stood by the
Prophet as he was giving gifts to the people and said, ‘Muhammad, I have
seen what you have done today.’ ‘Well, what did you see?’ He said, ‘I
don’t think you have been fair.’ Allah’s Messenger became angry. ‘Woe
to you! If justice is not to be found with me, then with whom is it to be
found?’” “Umar said, ‘Muhammad, allow me to kill him.’” Ishaq:595
“The Apostle said, ‘Get him away from me and cut off his tongue.””
Bukhari:V4B53N374 “The Prophet said, ‘I give to the
Quraysh so that they will desire Islam, for they are nearer to their life of
Ignorance and it is not strong in their hearts.’”
Ishaq:596 “‘Prophet, this group of Ansar have a
grudge against you for what you did with the booty and how you divided it
among you own people.’ After due praise and exaltation of Allah, he
addressed them. ‘Ansar, what is this talk I hear from you? What is the
grudge you harbor in your hearts against me? Do you think ill of me? Did I not
come to you when you were erring and needy, and then made rich by Allah?’
‘You came to us discredited, when your message was rejected by the Quraysh,
and we believed you. You were forsaken and deserted and we assisted you. You
were a fugitive and we took you in, sheltering you. You were poor and in need,
and we comforted you.”
Tabari IX:37/Ishaq:596 “Do you hold a grudge against
me and are you mentally disturbed because of the worldly things by which I
conciliate a people and win them over so that they will embrace Islam and
become Muslims?”
Tabari IX:60 “On the way, Muhammad ordered that
whoever got to the first well before him should not drink until he arrived.
Some of the hypocrites arrived and drew water. The Prophet cursed them and
invoked Allah’s curse on them.”
Tabari VIII:38 “The Prophet selected for himself from
among the Jewish women of the Qurayza, Rayhanah. She became his concubine.
When he predeceased her, she was still in his possession. When the Messenger
of Allah took her as a captive, she showed herself averse to Islam and
insisted on Judaism.”
Ishaq:466 “The Apostle [taking first dibs] chose one
of the Jewish women for himself. Her name was Rayhanah. She remained with him
until she died, in his power.”
Tabari VIII:56/Ishaq:493 “According to Aisha: ‘A
great number of Mustaliq were wounded. The Messenger took many captives, and
they were divided among all the Muslims. Juwayriyah was one of the slaves.
When the Prophet divided the captives by lot [a gambling game], Juwayriyah
fell to the share of Thabit, Muhammad’s cousin. Juwayriyah was the most
beautiful woman and she captivated anyone who looked at her. She came to the
Apostle seeking his help. As soon as I saw her at the door of my chamber, I
took a dislike to her, and I knew that he would see in her what I saw.’”
Tabari VIII:97 “When I returned to Medina, the Prophet
met me in the market and said, ‘Give me the woman.’ I said, ‘Holy
Prophet of Allah, I like her, and I have not uncovered her garment.’
Muhammad said nothing to me until the next day. He again met me in the market
and said, ‘Salamah, give me the woman.’ I said, ‘Prophet, I have not
uncovered her garment but she is yours.’”
Ishaq:467 “Allah addressed the believers and said,
‘In Allah’s Apostle you have a fine example for anyone who hopes to be in
the place where Allah is.’” [top]
LOVE OF MONEY:
Koran 64:16 “Fear Allah as much as you can; listen
and obey. Pay the zakat. Those saved from covetousness prosper. If you loan to
Allah a beautiful loan, He will double it. He will grant Forgiveness: for
Allah is most ready to appreciate.”
Tabari VI:82 “I asked Abbas, ‘What is this
religion?’ He answered, ‘This is Muhammad bin Abdallah, who claims that
Allah has sent him as His Messenger with this religion and that the treasures
of Chusroes and Caesar will be given to him by conquest.’”
Ishaq:113 “When I was a merchant I came to Mecca
during the hajj pilgrimage. While I was there a man came out to pray and stood
facing the Ka’aba. I asked, ‘What is their religion? It is something new
to me.’ Abbas said, ‘This is Muhammad who alleges that Allah has sent him
with it so that the treasures of Chusroes and Caesar will be open to him.”
Bukhari:V4B52N267 “The Prophet said, ‘Khosrau will
be ruined, and there will be no Khosrau after him, and Caesar will surely be
ruined and there will be no Caesar after him, and you will spend their
treasures in Allah’s Cause.’”
Bukhari:V4B56N793 “The Prophet said, ‘If you live
long enough the treasures of Khosrau will be opened and taken as spoils. You
will carry out handfuls of gold and silver.’”
Bukhari:V4B56N795 “I have been given the keys of the
treasures of the world by Allah.”
Tabari VIII:16/Ishaq:454 “Soon the trial became great
for the Muslims and fear intensified. One said, ‘Muhammad was promising us
that we should eat up the treasures of Chosroes and Caesar, and now none of us
even can go out to relieve himself!’”
Koran 93:4 “Soon will your Lord give you so much
you shall be well pleased.... Did He not find you poor and made you rich?”
Koran 108:1 “To you have We granted Kausar, the
fountain of abundance.”
Tabari VI:95 “Abu Talib said to Muhammad, ‘Nephew,
how is it that your tribe is complaining about you and claiming that you are
reviling their gods and saying this, that, and the other?’ The Allah’s
Apostle said, ‘Uncle, I want them to utter one saying. If they say it, the
Arabs will submit to them and the non-Arabs will pay the jizyah tax.’”
Koran 9:29 “Fight against those People of the Book
[Christians and Jews] who do not follow what Allah and His Messenge
acknowledge as the true religion (Islam), nor accept Our law, until they pay
the Jizyah tribute tax in submission.”
Koran 68:3 “Nay, truly for you is a never-ending
reward.”
Bukhari:V5B59N512 “The Prophet had their men killed,
their children and woman taken as captives. The captives were divided among
the Muslims. Then the Messenger began taking the homes and property that were
closest to him.”
Tabari VIII:122/Ishaq:515 “Abi Huqayq held the
treasure of the Nadir. He was brought to Allah’s Messenger, and he
questioned him. But Huqayq denied knowing where it was. So the Prophet
questioned other Jews. One said, ‘I have seen Kinanah walk around a ruin.’
Muhammad had Kinanah brought to him and said, ‘Do you know that if we find
it, I shall kill you.’ ‘Yes,’ Kinanah answered. The Prophet commanded
that the ruin should be dug up. Some treasure was extracted. Then Muhammad
asked Kinanah for the rest. He refused to surrender it; so Allah’s Messenger
gave orders concerning him to Zubayr, saying, ‘Torture him until you root
out and extract what he has. So Zubayr kindled a fire on Kinanah’s chest,
twirling it with his firestick until Kinanah was near death. Then the
Messenger gave him to Maslamah, who beheaded him.”
Ishaq:515 “When the people of Fadak heard of what had
happened, they sent word to the Messenger, asking him to banish them and spare
their lives, saying they too would leave him their property. So Khaybar became
the prey of the Muslims, while Fadak belonged exclusively to the Messenger of
Allah, becoming his personal property.”
Koran 8:1 “They ask you about the benefits of
capturing the spoils of war. Tell them: ‘The benefits belong to Allah and to
His Messenger.’ So fulfill your duty to Allah and the Prophet.”
Tabari VIII:142 “Whoever prays our prayer and turns to
our Qiblah is a Muslim. Incumbent on whoever refuses is the payment of the
jizyah tax.”
Koran 9:42 “(Prophet) had there been immediate gain
(in sight with booty in front of them), and the journey easy—a near
adventure—they would (all) have followed you.”
Koran 9:55 “Let not their wealth nor their sons
dazzle you or excite your admiration (Muhammad).”
Koran 9:57 “Some slander you, blaming you (of
partiality) in the matter of (the distribution of) the offerings [stolen
spoils]. If they are given part of these, they are pleased, but if not they
are indignant and enraged!”
Koran 9:59 “(How much more seemly) if only they had
been content with what Allah and His Messenger gave them, and said,
‘Sufficient is Allah! His Messenger will soon give us His bounty. We implore
Allah to enrich us.’”
Koran 9:75 “Amongst them are men who made a deal
with Allah, that if He bestowed on them of His bounty [booty], they would pay
(largely) in zakat tax (for Allah’s Cause [Jihad]). But when He did bestow
of His bounty, they became niggardly, and turned back (from their bargain),
averse (refusing to pay).”

will wipe out from your evils, and admit you to Gardens.”
Koran 5:119 “Allah will say: This is the day on
which the Muslims will profit from Islam…”
Bukhari:V4B53N376 “While Allah’s Apostle was
accompanied by the people on their way back from Hunayn, the Bedouins started
begging for things so aggressively that they forced him to go under a Samura
tree where his outer garment was snatched away. On that, Allah’s Apostle
stood up and said, ‘Return my clothes. If I had as many camels as these
trees, I would have distributed them amongst you; and you will not find me a
miser.’”
Bukhari:V4B53N377 “While I was walking with the
Prophet he was wearing a Najrani outer garment with a thick hem. A Bedouin
came upon him and pulled his garment so violently that I could see the imprint
of the hem on his shoulder caused by the violence of his pull. The Bedouin
said, ‘Give me something from Allah’s Fortune which you have.’ The
Prophet turned, smiled, and ordered that a gift should be given.”
Tabari IX:34/Ishaq:595 “Khuwaysirah came and stood by
the Prophet as he was giving gifts to the people and said, ‘Muhammad, I have
seen what you have done today.’ ‘Well, what did you see?’ He said, ‘I
don’t think you have been fair.’ Allah’s Messenger became angry.”

Quraysh so that they will desire Islam, for they are nearer to their life of
Ignorance and it is not strong in their hearts.’”
Bukhari:V4B53N375 “When Allah favored His Apostle with
the properties of the Hawazin tribe as Fai booty, he started giving to some of
the Meccan men up to one-hundred camels each. Whereupon some Ansari said,
‘May Allah forgive His Apostle! He is giving to the Quraysh and leaving us
out, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dripping with the blood of
the infidels.’ When Muhammad was informed of what they had said, he called
for the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent. ‘What is the statement
which I have been informed?’ The smart ones replied, ‘O Allah’s Apostle!
The wise ones did not say anything, but the youngsters said, “May Allah
forgive His Apostle; he enriches the Quraysh and leaves the Ansar poor, in
spite of the fact that Ansar swords are still dribbling with the blood of the
infidels.”’ The Prophet replied, ‘I give them more because they are
still close to the period of Infidelity and have just recently embraced Islam.
You should be pleased to see them becoming rich.’”
Tabari IX:36/Ishaq:596 “‘Prophet, this group of
Ansar have a grudge against you for what you did with the booty and how you
divided it among your own people.’ ‘Ansar, what is this talk I hear from
you? What is the grudge you harbor? Do you think ill of me? Did I not come to
you when you were erring and needy, and then made rich by Allah? Do you hold a
grudge against me and are you mentally disturbed because of the worldly things
by which I conciliate a people and win them over so that they will embrace
Islam and become Muslims?”
Tabari IX:79 “In this year the zakat was made
obligatory, and the Messenger dispatched his agents to collect it. The verse
was revealed: ‘Take the zakat from their wealth to purify them.’”
Tabari IX:86 “He orders you to give one fifth of
Allah’s booty and pay the zakat tax. It is enjoined on the faithful from
their land and property…. And don’t seduce the Jews or Christians for
incumbent on them is to pay the jizyah protection tax. Allah’s Apostle
dispersed his representatives to every land where Islam had entered to collect
the zakat.”
Tabari IX:196 “Fatimah [Muhammad’s daughter] and Ali
[Muhammad’s adopted son and Fatimah’s husband] came to Bakr demanding
their share of inheritance of the Messenger. They demanded Muhammad’s land
in Fadak and his share of Khaybar’s tribute.”
Bukhari:V5B59N546 “Fatimah, the daughter of the
Prophet, sent someone to Bakr, asking for her inheritance of what Allah’s
Apostle had left of the property taken from the Fai booty gained without
fighting in Medina and Fadak, and what remained of the Khumus [Muhammad’s
fifth of the booty gained through fighting] of the Khaybar booty.”
Bukhari:V9B84N59 “When the Prophet died, Arabs
reverted to disbelief. Umar said, ‘Should we fight these people?”’ Bakr
said, ‘By Allah! I will fight whoever differentiates between prayers and
Zakat, as Zakat is the right to be taken from property according to Allah’s
Orders. If they refuse to pay me even so little as a kid they used to pay, I
will fight with them for withholding it.’”
Koran 20:131 “Do not covet what we have
granted other people. Nor strain your eyes in longing for the things We have
given for their enjoyment, the splendor of the life, through which We tempt
them.”
Bukhari:V5B57N119 “The people used to send presents to
the Prophet on the day of Aisha’s turn [to have sex with him]. Aisha said,
‘His other wives gathered in the apartment of Um Salama and said, “Um, the
people send presents on the day of Aisha’s turn and we too, love the good
presents just as much as she does. You should tell Allah’s Apostle to order
the people to send their presents to him regardless of whose turn it may
be.” Um repeated that to the Prophet and he turned away from her. When the
Prophet returned to Um, she repeated the request again. The Prophet again
turned away. After the third time, the Prophet said, “Um, don’t trouble me
by harming Aisha, for by Allah, the Divine Inspiration [Koran surahs] never
came to me while I was under the blanket of any woman among you except
her.”’”
Koran 2:195 “Spend your wealth in Allah’s Cause

Allah, reward every person who spends in Your Cause.” The other says, “O
Allah, destroy every miser.”’”

LUST:
Koran 33:51 “You may have whomever you desire;
there is no blame.”
Tabari VIII:187 “The [sixty-two-year old] Messenger of
Allah married Mulaykah. She was young and beautiful. One of the Prophet’s
wives came to her and said, ‘Are you not ashamed to marry a man who killed
your father during the day he conquered Mecca?” She therefore took refuge
from him.”
Koran 66:1 “O Prophet! Why forbid yourself that
which Allah has made lawful to you? You seek to please your consorts.”
Koran 66:4 “If you (women) turn in repentance to
him, it would be better. Your hearts have been impaired, for you desired (the
ban) [on how many girls Muhammad could play with at a time]. But if you back
each other up against (Muhammad), truly Allah is his protector, and Gabriel,
and everyone who believes—and furthermore, the angels will back (him) up.”
Koran 66:5 “Maybe, if he divorces you (all), Allah
will give him in exchange consorts better than you—submissive, faithful,
obedient, adorers who worship, who travel, and are inclined to
fasting—previously married or virgins.”
Tabari VIII:117 “Dihyah had asked the Messenger for
Safiyah when the Prophet chose her for himself. Muhammad gave Dihyah her two
cousins instead.” Ishaq:511 “When he protested,
wanting to keep Safiyah for himself, the Apostle traded for Safiyah by giving
Dihyah her two cousins. The women of Khaybar were distributed among the
Muslims.”

‘Will Safiyah be one of the Prophet’s wives or just a lady captive and one
of his possessions?’”

Prophet had taken her, he said, ‘That stallion’s nose is not to be
restrained!’”
Bukhari:V4B52N143/V5B59N523 “When we reached Khaybar,
Muhammad said that Allah had enabled him to conquer them. It was then that the
beauty of Safiyah was described to him. Her husband had been killed [by
Muhammad], so Allah’s Apostle selected her for himself. He took her along
with him till we reached a place where her menses were over and he took her
for his wife, consummating his marriage to her, and forcing her to wear the
veil.’”
Tabari VIII:122/Ishaq:515 “Muhammad commanded that
Safiyah should be kept behind him and he threw his cloak over her. Thus the
Muslims knew that he had chosen her for himself.”
Ishaq:517 “When the Apostle took Safiyah on his way
out of town, she was beautified and combed, putting her in a fitting state for
the Messenger. The Apostle passed the night with her in his tent. Abu Ayyub,
girt with his sword, guarded the Apostle, going round the tent until he saw
him emerge in the morning. Abu said, ‘I was afraid for you with this woman
for you have killed her father, her husband, and her people.”
Koran 33:30 “O Consorts of the Prophet! If…any of
you are devout, obedient, and submissive in the service to Allah and His

young and not yet ready for consummation.”
Bukhari:V9B87N139-40 “Allah’s Apostle told Aisha,
‘You were shown to me twice in my dreams [a.k.a. sexual fantasies]. I beheld
a man or angel carrying you in a silken cloth. He said to me, “She is yours,
so uncover her.” And behold, it was you. I would then say to myself, “If
this is from Allah, then it must happen.”’”
Tabari IX:131 “My mother came to me while I was being
swung on a swing between two branches and got me down. My nurse wiped my face
with some water and started leading me. When I was at the door she stopped so
I could catch my breath. I was then brought in while the Messenger was sitting
on a bed in our house. My mother made me sit on his lap. Then the men and
women got up and left. The Prophet consummated his marriage with me in my
house when I was nine years old.”

captives on the day of Khaybar, he threw his cloak over Safayah. Thus she was
his chosen one.” Tabari IX:139 “The Messenger
married Ghaziyyah after the news of her beauty and skill had reached him.”
Tabari IX:137 “Allah granted Rayhanah of the [Jewish]
Qurayza to His Messenger as booty [but only after she had been forced to watch
him decapitate her father and brother, seen her mother hauled off to be raped,
and her sisters sold into slavery].”
Tabari IX:137 “Mariyah, a Copt slave, was presented to
the Prophet. She was given to him by Muqawqis, the ruler of Alexandria.”
Tabari IX:138 “The Prophet married Aliyyah, a Bakr
woman. He gave her gifts for divorce and left her. He also married Qutaylah,
but he died before he could consummate the marriage.”
Tabari IX:139 “Layla approached the Prophet while his
back was to the sun and clapped him on his shoulder. He asked her who it was
and she replied, ‘I am the daughter of one who competes with the wind. I am
Layla. I have come to offer myself to you.’ He replied, ‘I accept.’” [Layla
shared her story with her parents.] “They said, ‘What a bad thing you have
done! You are a self-respecting girl, but the Prophet is a womanizer.’”
Tabari IX:147 “A eunuch named Mubur was presented to
Muhammad along with two slave girls. One he took as a concubine, the other he
gave to Haasn.”
Ishaq:186 “He took me into Paradise and there I saw a
damsel with dark red lips. I asked her to whom she belonged, for she pleased
me much when I saw her.”
Bukhari:V4B52N211 “I participated in a Ghazwa [raid]
with the Prophet. I said, ‘Apostle, I am a bridegroom.’ He asked me
whether I had married a virgin or matron. I answered, ‘A matron.’ He said,
‘Why not a virgin who would have played with you? Then you could have played
with her.’ ‘Apostle! My father was martyred and I have some young sisters,
so I felt it not proper that I should marry a young girl as young as
them.’”
Tabari VIII:100 “The Messenger sent Hatib to Muqawqis,
the ruler of Alexandria. Hatib delivered the letter of the Prophet, and
Muqawqis gave Allah’s Apostle four slave girls.”
Bukhari:V9B86N98 “The Prophet said, ‘A virgin should
not be married till she is asked for her consent.’ ‘O Apostle! How will
the virgin express her consent?’ He said, ‘By remaining silent.’”
Bukhari:V5B59N342 “Umar said, ‘When my daughter
Hafsa lost her husband in the battle of Badr, Allah’s Apostle demanded her
hand in marriage and I married her to him.’”
Tabari VIII:1 “In this year the Messenger married
Zaynab bt. Jahsh [a first cousin: Allah’s Messenger came to the house of
Zayd bin [son of] Muhammad. Perhaps the Messenger missed him at that moment.
Zaynab, Zayd’s wife, rose to meet him. She was dressed only in a shift….
She jumped up eagerly and excited the admiration of Allah’s Messenger, so
that he turned away murmuring something that could scarcely be understood.
However, he did say overtly, ‘Glory be to Allah Almighty, who causes hearts
to turn!’ So Zayd went to Muhammad. ‘Prophet, I have heard that you came
to my house. Why didn’t you go in? [Dad,] Perhaps Zaynab has excited your
admiration, so I will leave her.’”
Tabari VIII:4 “One day Muhammad went out looking for
Zayd. Now there was a covering of haircloth over the doorway, but the wind had
lifted the covering so that the doorway was uncovered. Zaynab was in her
chamber, undressed, and admiration for her entered the heart of the Prophet.
After that Allah made her unattractive to Zayd.’”
Tabari VIII:3 “Zayd left her, and she became free.
While the Messenger of Allah was talking with Aisha, a fainting overcame him.
When he was released from it, he smiled and said, ‘Who will go to Zaynab to
tell her the good news? Allah has married her to me.’ Then the Prophet
recited [Koran 33] to the end of the passage. Aisha said, ‘I became very
uneasy because of what we heard about her beauty and another thing, the
loftiest of matters, what Allah had done for her by personally giving her to
him in marriage. I said that she would boast of it over us.’”
Koran 33:4 “Allah has not made your wives whom you
divorce your mothers: nor has He made your adopted sons your sons. Such is
(only) your (manner of) speech by your mouths.”
Koran 33:6 “The Prophet has a greater claim on the
faithful than they have on themselves, and his wives are their mothers....
This is written in the Book.”
Koran 33:37 “You hid in your mind and your heart
that which Allah was about to manifest: you feared the people, but it is more
fitting that thou shouldst fear Allah. Then when Zayd had dissolved (his
marriage) with her, with the necessary (formality), We gave her to you,
joining her in marriage to you: in order that there may be no difficulty or
sin for the Believers in the wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have
dissolved with the necessary (formality) (their marriage) with them. And
Allah’s command must be fulfilled.”
Koran 33:38 “There can be no difficulty, harm, or
reproach to the Prophet in doing what Allah has ordained to him as a duty. It
was the practice (approved) of Allah amongst those of old that have passed
away. And the commandment of Allah is a decree determined. (It is the practice
of those) who deliver the Messages of Allah, and fear Him. Allah keeps good
account. Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the
Messenger of Allah, and the Last of the Prophets with the Seal: and Allah has
full knowledge of all things.”
Koran 33:48 “And obey not (the behests) of the
Unbelievers and the Hypocrites. Disregard their noxious talk and heed not
their annoyances, but put thy trust in Allah. For enough is Allah as a
Disposer of affairs.”
Koran 33:50 “O Prophet! We have made lawful to you
all the wives to whom you have paid dowers; and those whom your hands possess
out of the prisoners of war spoils whom Allah has assigned to you; and
daughters of your paternal uncles and aunts, and daughters of your uncles and
aunts, who migrated with you; and any believing woman if the Prophet wishes
her; this is a privilege for you only, and not for the rest of the Believers;
We know what We have appointed for them as to their wives and the captives
whom they possess; in order that there should be no difficulty for you and
that you should be free from blame.”
Koran 33:51 “You may put off whom you please, and
you may take to you whomever you desire. You may defer any of them you please,
and you may have whomever you desire; there is no blame on you if you invite
one who you had set aside. It is no sin.”
Koran 33:28 “O Prophet, say to your wives and
consorts: ‘If you desire this world’s life and its glittering adornment,
then come! I will provide them for your enjoyment and set you free in a
handsome manner. And if you desire Allah and His Messenger and the latter
abode, then lo! Allah hath prepared for the good-doers an immense reward.”
Koran 33:30 “O Consorts of the Prophet! If any of
you are guilty of unseemly conduct, shamelessness, or lewdness, the punishment
will be doubled, and that is easy for Allah. But any of you that is devout,
obedient, and submissive in the service to Allah and His Messenger, and does
good, to her shall We grant her reward twice. We have prepared for her a
generously rich provision.”
Koran 33:32 “Consorts of the Prophet! You are not
like any of the (other) women. Fear and keep your duty, lest one in whose
heart is a disease should be moved with desire. Stay quietly in your
apartment. Make not a dazzling display like that of the former times of
Ignorance. Perform the devotion, pay the zakat; and obey Allah and His
Messenger. And Allah wishes to cleanse you with a thorough cleansing. And bear
in mind that which is recited in your houses of the revelations of Allah and
the wisdom.”
Koran 33:36 “It is not fitting for a Muslim man or
woman to have any choice in their affairs when a matter has been decided for
them by Allah and His Messenger. They have no option. If any one disobeys
Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a wrong Path.”
Koran 4:23 “Prohibited to you are: your mothers,
daughters, sisters.... Also (prohibited are) women already married, except
slaves who are captives.” [Rape is okay with Team Islam.]
Bukhari:V5B59N459 “I entered the Mosque, saw Abu, sat
beside him and asked about sex. Abu Said said, ‘We went out with Allah’s
Apostle and we received female slaves from among the captives. We desired
women and we loved to do coitus interruptus.’” [top]
MUHAMMAD’S PARADISE:
Koran 56:8 “Those of the right hand-how happy will
be those of the right hand! …Who will be honored in the Garden of Bliss; Koran
56:13 “A multitude of those from among the first, and a few from
the latter, (will be) on couch-like thrones woven with gold and precious
stones. Reclining, facing each other. Round about them will (serve) boys of
perpetual (freshness), of never ending bloom, with goblets, jugs, and cups
(filled) with sparkling wine. No aching of the head will they receive, nor
suffer any madness, nor exhaustion. And with fruits, any that they may select:
and the flesh of fowls, any they may desire. And (there will be) Hur (fair
females) with big eyes, lovely and pure, beautiful ones, like unto hidden
pearls, well-guarded in their shells. A reward for the deeds.”
Koran 56:33 “Unending, and unforbidden, exalted
beds, and maidens incomparable. We have formed them in a distinctive fashion
and made them virgins, loving companions matched in age, for the sake of those
of the right hand.” [Another translation reads:] “On couches or thrones
raised high. Verily, We have created them (maidens) incomparable: We have
formed their maidens as a special creation, and made them to grow a new
growth. We made them virgins—pure and undefiled, lovers, matched in age.”
Bukhari:V8B76N550 “I heard Allah’s Apostle saying,
‘From my followers there will be a crowd of 70,000 in number who will enter
Paradise whose faces will glitter as the moon.’”
Koran 37:40 “Fruits, Delights; they will be honored
in the Gardens of Pleasure, on thrones facing one another. Round them will be
passed a cup of pure white wine, delicious to the drinkers, free from ghoul
(hurt), nor shall you be made mad or exhausted thereby. And with them will be
Qasirat-at-Tarf (virgin females), restraining their glances (desiring none but
you), with big, beautiful eyes. As if they were (sheltered) eggs,
preserved.”
Koran 88:8 “Faces will be joyful, glad with their
endeavour. In a lofty Garden they hear no harmful speech.” Koran88:12
“Therein will be a bubbling spring, raised throne-like couches, drinking
cups ready placed, cushions set in rows, and rich silken carpets all spread
out.”
Bukhari:V4B55N544 “Allah's Apostle said, ‘The first
group who will enter Paradise will be glittering like the moon and those who
will follow will glitter like the most brilliant star. They will not urinate,
relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal secretions. Their combs will be gold
and their sweat will smell like musk. Their companions will be houris
[virgins]. All of them will look alike and will be sixty cubits (180 feet)
tall.’”
Bukhari:V8B76N542 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘The
believers, after being saved from the Fire, will be stopped at a bridge
between Paradise and Hell and mutual retaliation will be established among
them regarding wrongs they have committed against one another. After they are
cleansed and purified through the retaliation, they will be admitted into
Paradise.’”
Koran 47:15 “(Here is) a Parable of the Garden
which those who fear and keep their duty are promised: in it are rivers of
unpolluted water; rivers of milk which the taste never changes; rivers of
wine, a delicious joy to the drinkers; and rivers of running honey pure and
clear. In it there are all kinds of fruits with pardon from their Lord.”
Koran 76:5 “As for the righteous, they will drink a
cup of wine from a spring, making it gush forth abundantly.” Koran
76:19 “And round them shall serve immortal boys of perpetual
freshness, never altering in age. If you saw them, you would think they were
scattered pearls.” Koran 76:21 “Upon them will be
green garments of fine green silk and heavy gold brocade. They will be adorned
with bracelets of silver; their Lord will slack their thirst with wine.”
Koran 77:41 “The righteous shall be amidst cool
shades, springs, and fruits—all they desire. Eat and drink to your heart’s
content.”
Koran 78:31 “Verily for those who follow Us, there
will be a fulfillment of your desires: enclosed Gardens, grapevines,
voluptuous full-breasted maidens of equal age, and a cup full to the brim of
wine. There they never hear vain discourse nor lying—a gift in payment—a
reward from your Lord.”
Koran 83:22 “The believers will be in Delightful
Bliss: On couch-like thrones, gazing, their thirst will be slaked with pure
wine.”
Koran 85:11 “For those who believe and do good
deeds will be Gardens; the fulfillment of all desires.”
Bukhari:V7B69N494 “I heard the Prophet saying, ‘From
among my followers there will be some who will consider illegal sexual
intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use
of musical instruments, to be lawful. Allah will destroy them during the night
and will let mountains fall on them. He will transform the rest into monkeys
and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Doom.’”
Bukhari:V4B54N476-544 “The Prophet said, ‘In
Paradise they will not urinate, relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal
secretions. Everyone will have two virgins who will be so beautiful and
transparent the bones of their legs will be seen through their flesh.’”
Koran 52:17 “Verily, the Muttaqun (those who fear)
will be in Gardens and Delight. Enjoying the (bliss) which their Lord has
provided, and their Lord saved them from the torment of the blazing Fire.
‘Eat and drink with glee, because of what you used to do.’ They will
recline (with ease) on Throne Couches (of dignity) arranged in ranks; and We
shall join them to beautiful Hur (female maidens) with big, lustrous eyes.”
Koran 52:21 “Those who believe and whose families
follow them in Faith, to them shall We join their offspring: Nor shall We
deprive them of their works: (Yet) each individual is in pledge for his deeds.
[Imagine that. Wives and children will be joined with husbands and fathers who
are cavorting with virgins. That ought to be entertaining.] And We shall
provide fruit and meat, anything they desire. There they shall pass from hand
to hand a (wine) cup free of frivolity, free of all taint of vanity or cause
of sin. Round about them will serve, (devoted) to them, young boy servants of
their own (handsome) as well-guarded pearls. They will advance to each other,
drawing near, engaging in mutual enquiry. They will say: ‘We used to be
afraid (of the punishment) in the midst of our families, but Allah has been
good to us, and has delivered us from the torment of the Scorching Wind and
Breath of Fire.”
Koran 55:46 “For him who lives in terror of his
Lord are two Gardens containing delights: shade, two fountains flowing, fruits
in pairs. Reclining on carpets lined with silk brocade, fruits hanging low. In
them virginal females with averted glances (desiring none but you),
undeflowered by men or jinn. Is the reward of goodness aught but goodness?”
Koran 55:62 “And beside this, there are two other
Gardens, rich green in color from plentiful watering. In them will be two
springs, gushing forth, and fruits. And beautiful companions, virgins
cloistered in pavilions, undefiled by men and jinn, reclining on green
cushions and rich mattresses. Which of the favors of you Lord will you both
deny?” [top]
ALLAH’S HELL:
Koran 56:41 “But those of the left hand-how unhappy
those of the left hand. They will be in the scorching hot wind and boiling
water, under the shadow of thick black smoke, neither cool nor agreeable.
…They will be gathered together on a certain day which is predetermined.
Then you, the erring and the deniers will eat Zaqqoom [a thorn tree]. Fill
your bellies with it, and drink scalding water, lapping it up like female
camels raging of thirst and diseased. Such will be their entertainment, their
welcome on the Day of Doom…the welcome of boiling water and the
entertainment of roasting in Hell. This is the ultimate truth.”
Bukhari:V8B76N537 “The Prophet said, ‘Allah will
say, “Adam!” “I am obedient to Your orders.” Allah will say, “Bring
out the people of the Fire.” “How many are the people of the Fire?”
Allah will say, “Out of every thousand take out nine-hundred and ninety-nine
persons.” At that time children will become hoary-headed and every pregnant
female will drop her load. You will see the people as if they were drunk.
Allah’s punishment will be very severe.’”
Koran 37:19 “They will say, ‘Woe to us! This is
the Day of Doom.’ Assemble the wrong-doers and their wives and the things
they worshipped besides Allah, then lead them to the fierce flaming fires of
Hell.”
Koran 37:63 “For We have truly made it as a trial
to torment the disbelievers. Zaqqum is a horrible thorn tree that grows in
Hell. The shoots of its fruit-stalks are like the heads of devils. Truly they
[non-Muslims] will eat it and fill their bellies with it. On top of that they
will be given a mixture made of boiling water to drink especially prepared.
Then they shall be returned to the Blazing Fire.”
Koran 74:8 “The trumpet shall sound a day of
anguish for disbelievers. Leave Me alone to deal with the creature whom I
created bare and alone! Leave Me to deal with those I granted wealth and
sons.”
Koran 96:15 “Let him beware! If he does not desist,
We will seize him, smite his forehead, and drag him by the forelock, a lying,
sinful forelock! Then, let him call upon his henchmen for help and summon his
council of comrades. We will call on the angels of punishment to deal with
him!”
Koran 74:15 “They have offered stubborn opposition
to Our Signs. Soon I will visit them with a mountain of calamities, imposing a
fearful doom and a distressing punishment. For these men thought and plotted;
so woe to them! They shall be cursed for their plots.”
Koran 74:26 “Soon will I fling them into the
burning Hell Fire! And what will explain what Hell Fire is? It permits nothing
to endure, and nothing does it spare! It darkens and changes the color of man,
burning the skin! It shrivels and scorches men.”
Koran 74:31 “We have appointed nineteen angels to
be the wardens of the Hell Fire. We made a stumbling-block for those who
disbelieve and We have fixed their number as a trial for unbelievers in order
that the People of the Book [Christians and Jews] may arrive with certainty,
and that no doubts may be left for the people of the Book, those in whose
hearts is a disease.”
Koran 75:20 “Some faces will be gloomy knowing that
some great back-breaking calamity is about to be inflicted on them. Yes, when
their soul comes up their throat and reaches their collarbone they will cry,
‘Is there a magician or wizard who can save us?’ But they will know that
it is the hour of parting and one leg will be joined with another, agony
heaped on agony, affliction combined with affliction.”
Koran 67:7 “We have prepared the doom of Hell and
the penalty of torment in the most intense Blazing Fire. For those who reject
their Lord is the punishment of Hell: Evil, it is such a wretched destination.
When they are flung therein, they will hear the terrible drawing in of their
breath and loud moaning even as the flame blazes forth, roaring with rage as
it boils up, bursting with fury. Every time a fresh crowd is cast in, Hell’s
wardens will ask, ‘Did no Warner come to you?’”
Koran 69:27 “‘I wish death had put an end to me.
The stern command will say: ‘Seize him, manacle him, chain him and cast him
into the Blazing Fire of Hell. String him to a chain the length of which is
seventy cubits. This is the fate of those who do not believe in the Lord Most
Supreme or feed the poor. They have no friend today. They will have no food
save filthy refuse which the hellish eat.”
Koran 70:10 “The Mujrim (disbeliever) desire will
be to free himself from the Punishment by sacrificing his children as a ransom
to save himself from the torment.”
Koran 70:12 “He would sacrifice his wife and his
brother, and his kin who sheltered him, and all that is on earth to deliver
himself from the Doom. By no means! For them it is the Fire of Hell! Plucking
apart his body right to the skull! Taking away the head skin. Eager to roast;
dragged by the head, hell shall claim all who flee.”
Koran 70:42 “So let them chat vainly and play
about, with their idle disputes until they encounter that Day of Doom which
they have been threatened! They will rise from their sepulchers in sudden
haste as if they were rushing to a goal, their eyes lowered in dejection and
disgrace, aghast, abasement stupefying them—ignominy shall overtake them!
Such is the Day that they are threatened with!”
Koran 80:33 “At length, when the deafening cry
comes, that Day shall a man flee from his own brother, and from his mother and
father, and he will abandon his wife and children. Each one of them will
have enough concern to make him indifferent to others.”
Koran 68:42 “On the day when the great calamity of
doom befalls them in earnest, and they are ordered to prostrate themselves,
they will not. There shall be a severe affliction. Their eyes will be
downcast, abasement stupefying them; ignominy will cover them. Seeing that
they had been summoned beforehand to bow in adoration, while they were still
whole and unhurt, they refused.”
Koran 68:44 “Then leave Me alone with such as
reject this Message and call Our pronouncements a lie. Systematically by
degrees, step by step, We shall punish them in ways they can not even imagine.
[Hell is where Allah resides.]”
Koran 73:11 “Leave Me alone to deal with the
beliers (those who deny My Koran). Respite those who possess good things
for a little while. Verily, with Us are heavy shackles (to bind), a raging
fire (to burn them), food that chokes, and a torturous penalty of painful
doom.”
Bukhari:V4B54N487 “The Prophet said, ‘The Hell Fire
is 69 times hotter than ordinary worldly fires.’ So someone said,
‘Allah’s Apostle, wouldn’t this ordinary fire have been sufficient to
torture the unbelievers?’”
Koran 72:15 “But the Qasitun (disbelievers) are the
firewood of hell.”
Koran 7:41 “They shall have a bed on the floor of
Hell and coverings of fire; this is how We reward them.”
Koran 104:4 “He will be sure to be thrown into that
which breaks him into pieces, flung to the Consuming One. And what will
explain to you that which Breaks him into Pieces, Consuming and Crushing? It
is the fire kindled by Allah which leaps up over them penetrating the hearts
of men.” [Allah is in hell, kindling the fire.]
Koran 79:1 “I swear by those who violently tear out
(the souls), and drag them to destruction.”
Koran 87:12 “They will be flung in to burn in the
great Fire (and be made to taste its burning, in which they will then neither
die nor live?”

overwhelming (calamity)? Some faces (all disbelievers, Jews and Christians)
that Day, will be humiliated, downcast, scorched by the burning fire, while
they are made to drink from a boiling hot spring.”
Koran 88:6 “They shall have no food but a poisonous
plant with bitter thorns, which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger.”
Koran 90:19 “But those who reject Our Signs,
Proofs, and Verses, they are the unhappy Companions of the Left Hand. Fire
will be their awning, vaulting over them.”
Koran 66:6 “Believers! Save yourselves and your
families from a Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones, over which are angels stern
(and) severe as wardens, who flinch not (from executing) the commands they
receive from Allah, but do (precisely) what they are commanded.”
Koran 47:15 “Those who shall dwell forever in the
Fire are given to drink boiling water that tears their bowels to pieces, and
cutting their intestines to shreds.”
Bukhari:V8B76N548 “The Prophet said, ‘Protect
yourself from the Fire.’ He turned his face aside as if he were looking at
it and said, ‘Protect yourself from the Fire,’ and turned his face aside
as if he were looking at it, and he said for the third time till we thought he
was actually looking at it: ‘Protect yourselves from the Fire.’”
Bukhari:V8B76N547 “The Prophet said, ‘All of you
will be questioned by Allah on the Day of Doom. There will be no interpreter
between you and Allah. And the Hell Fire will confront you. So, whoever among
you can, save yourself from the Fire.’”
Koran 21:98 “Verily you (disbelieving Infidels),
and the gods that you worship besides Allah, are the fuel for Hell, faggots
for the fire! Certainly you will enter it! Had their (idols) been (real)
alihah (gods), they would have kept them out of Hell. Therein, sobbing will be
your lot. Breathing with deep sighs, roaring. You will hear nothing but
wailing and groaning.”
Koran 18:108 “And We shall present Hell that day
for disbelievers to see, all spread out in plain view…. Verily We have
prepared Hell for the hospitality of the Infidels; Hell is for the
disbeliever’s entertainment.”
Koran 77:29 “It will be said: Depart to the doom
those who used to deny! Depart to a shadow of smoke (from the Hell Fire)
ascending in three columns, which yields no relief or shelter and is of no use
against the fierce blaze. Verily, (Hell) throws off sparks huge as castles as
if they were yellow camels.”
Koran 78:21 “Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, a
resort for the rebellious. A dwelling place for the disbelievers. They will
abide there forever. Therein they taste neither coolness nor any drink save a
boiling water and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, paralyzing, a dirty
wound discharge. It is a fitting reward for them.”
Koran 84:10 “Soon will He cry for perdition,
invoking destruction, throwing them into the scorching fire. They shall enter
the fire and be forced to taste its burning.”
Koran 85:1 “I swear by the Zodiacal Signs, woe to
the makers of the pit of fire. Cursed were the people.” Koran
85:5 “The Fire is supplied abundantly with fuel.”
Koran 101:8 “He whose balance is light will abide
in a bottomless Pit. And what will make you know what it is? It is a
fire blazing fiercely!”
Koran 56:92 “But if he (the dying person), be of
the denying (on the Day of Doom), erring (away from Islam), then for him is
the entertainment with boiling water and roasting in hell fire. Verily. this
is the absolute truth with certainty, so celebrate (Muhammad).”
Koran 52:14 “‘This,’ it will be said, ‘is the
Fire, which you used to deny! Is this a magic fake? Burn therein, endure the
heat; taste it. It’s the same whether you bear it patiently, or not. This is
My retaliation for what you did.’”
Koran 55:41 “The sinners will be seized by their
forelock and feet. This is the Hell the sinners called a lie. They will go
round and round between its fierce fires and boiling water. Which of the
favors of your Lord will you then deny?”
Koran 40:18 “Warn them of the Day of (Doom) that is
drawing near, when hearts will jump up and choke their throats, filling them
with anguish. And they can neither return their hearts to their chests nor
throw them out. No friend nor intercessor will the disbelievers have. (Allah)
knows of (the tricks) that deceive with treachery, and all that the bosoms
conceal.”
Koran 40:46 “In front of the Fire will they be
brought and exposed morning and evening: And (the sentence will be): ‘Cast
the People of Pharaoh into the severest torment, the most awful doom!’
Behold, they will argue noisily with each other while they wrangle in the
Fire! The weak ones (who followed) will say to those who had been arrogant,
‘We but followed you. Can you then take (on yourselves) from us some share
of the Fire? The arrogant will say: ‘We are all in this (Fire)! Truly, Allah
has judged between slaves!’”
Koran 40:9 “Those in the Fire will say to the
guards and keepers of Hell: ‘Pray to your Lord to lighten the torment for a
day!’ They will say: ‘Did there not come to you your Messengers with Clear
Signs?’ They will say, ‘Yes.’ ‘Then pray (as you like)! But the prayer
of the disbelievers is futile (and will go unanswered)!’ They will present
their excuses, but they will (only) have the curse and the home of misery.”
Koran 13:5 “Those who deny will wear collars and
chains, yokes (of servitude) tying their hands to their necks; they will be
the inmates of Hell.… They will witness Our (many) exemplary punishments!
Verily, your Lord is severe in retribution.”
Koran 21:37 “I will show you My Signs; then you
will not ask Me to hasten them! They say: ‘When will this (come to pass) if
you are telling the truth?’ If only the unbelievers knew (when) they will
not be able to ward off the fire from their faces, nor from their backs! Nay,
it will come to them all of a sudden and stupefy them, and they will be unable
to repel it or avert it.”
Koran 4:55 “Sufficient for them is Hell and the
Flaming Fire! Those [Jews] who disbelieve Our Revelations shall be cast into
Hell. When their skin is burnt up and singed, We shall give them a new coat
that they may go on tasting the agony of punishment.” [top]
JEWS:
Koran 2:61 “Humiliation and wretchedness were
stamped on the Jews and they were visited with Allah’s wrath.”
Koran 4:44 “Have you not considered those to whom a
portion of the Book has been given? They traffic in error and desire that you
should go astray. But Allah has full knowledge of your enemies. Of the Jews
there are those who displace words from their (right) places, saying, ‘We
hear and we disobey’ with a twist of their tongues they slander Faith….
Allah has cursed them for disbelief.”
Koran 4:47 “O you People of the Book to whom the
Scripture has been given, believe in what We have (now) revealed, confirming
and verifying what was possessed by you, before We destroy your faces beyond
all recognition, turning you on your backs, and curse you as We cursed the
Sabbath-breakers, for the decision of Allah Must be executed.”
Koran 4:160 “For the iniquity of the Jews We made
unlawful for them certain (foods) in that they hindered many from Allah’s
Way, that they took usury, though they were forbidden, and that they devoured
men’s wealth on false pretenses, We have prepared for those among them who
reject [Islamic] Faith a painful doom.”
Koran 5:59 “Say: ‘People of the Book! Do you
disapprove of us for no other reason than that we believe in Allah, and the
revelation that has come to us and that which came before?’ Say: ‘Shall I
point out to you something much worse than this by the treatment it received
from Allah? Those who incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath, those of whom
He transformed into apes and swine.”
Koran 2:64 “But you [Jews] went back on your word
and were lost losers. So become apes, despised and hated. We made an
example out of you.”
Ishaq:240 “The Jews are a nation of liars....
The Jews are a treacherous, lying, and evil people.”
Koran 33:26 “Allah made the Jews leave their homes
by terrorizing them so that you killed some and made many captive. And He made
you inherit their lands, their homes, and their wealth. He gave you a country
you had not traversed before.”
Ishaq:250 “The bestial transformation occurred when
Allah turned Jews into apes, despised.”
Qur'an 59:14 “The Jews are devoid of sense. There is a
grievous punishment awaiting them. Satan tells them not to believe so they
will end up in Hell.”
Ishaq:254/Koran 2:96 “We will not remove a Jew from
the punishment. They know the shameful thing that awaits them.”
Koran 4:55 “Sufficient for the Jew is the Flaming
Fire!”
Koran 88:1 “Has the narration reached you of the
overwhelming (calamity)? Some faces (all disbelievers, Jews and Christians)
that Day, will be humiliated, downcast, scorched by the burning fire, while
they are made to drink from a boiling hot spring.”
Tabari VIII:116 “After his return from Hudaybiyah,
Allah’s Messenger marched against Khaybar. He halted with his army in a
valley between the people of Khaybar and the Ghatafan tribe to prevent the
latter from assisting the Jews.”
Ishaq:264 “A notable Jew spoke to the Apostle,
twisting his tongue. He attacked Islam and reviled it, so Allah sent down,
‘Allah knows best about your enemies. Some of the Jews change words from
their contexts and say: “We hear and disobey,” twisting their tongues and
attacking the religion so Allah cursed them.’”
Tabari VIII:121 “Ali struck the Jew with a swift blow
that split his helmet, neck protector, and head, landing in his rear teeth.
And the Muslims entered the city. Muhammad conquered the [Jewish]
neighborhood. Safiyah was brought to him, and another woman with her. Bilal
led them past some of the Jews we had slain including the woman’s dead
husband. When she saw them, the woman with Safiyah cried out, slapped her
face, and poured dust on her head. When Allah’s Prophet saw her, he said,
‘Take this she-devil away from me!’”
Bukhari:V4B53N380 “Umar expelled all the Jews and
Christians from Arabia. Allah’s Apostle after conquering Khaybar thought of
expelling the Jews from the land which, after he conquered it, belonged to
Allah, Allah’s Apostle and the Muslims. But the Jews requested Allah’s
Apostle to leave them there on the condition that they would do the labor and
get half of the fruits (the land would yield). Allah’s Apostle said, ‘We
shall keep you on these terms as long as we wish.’ Thus they stayed till the
time of Umar’s Caliphate when he expelled them.”
Tabari VIII:130 “The Messenger said during his final
illness, ‘Two religions cannot coexist in the Arabian Peninsula.’ Umar
investigated the matter, then sent to the Jews, saying: ‘Allah has given
permission for you to be expelled; for I have received word that the Prophet
said that two religions cannot coexist in Arabia.”
Ishaq:517 “Khaybar was stormed by the Apostle’s
squadron, fully armed, powerful, and strong. It brought certain humiliation
with Muslim men in its midst. We attacked and they met their doom. Muhammad
conquered the Jews in fighting that day as they opened their eyes to our
dust.”
Ishaq:524 “We cannot accept the oaths of Jews. Their
infidelity is so great they swear falsely.”
Koran 59:14 “They [Jews] will not fight against you
save in fortified townships. Their hostility and hatred amongst themselves is
strong: you would think they were united, but their hearts they are divided.
That is because these [Jews] are a people devoid of sense.”
Ishaq:245 “Do you love Jews and their religion, you
liver-hearted ass, and not Muhammad? Their religion will never march with
ours…. Jews make false professions about Islam. So Allah sent down: ‘Satan
wishes to lead them astray.” Ishaq:248 “Allah
increases their sickness. A tormented doom awaits the Jews. Allah said,
‘They are mischief makers. They are fools. The Jews deny the truth and
contradict what the Apostle has brought. I will mock them and let them
continue to wander blindly.’”
Tabari VII:158 “The Messenger of Allah besieged the
Nadir Jews for fifteen days. In the end they made peace with him on the
condition that the Prophet would not shed their blood and that their property
and possessions would be his.”
Koran 5:13 “But because of their breach of their
covenant We cursed the Jews, and made their hearts grow hard. They change the
words from their (right) places [the illiterate prophet pronounced] and forget
and abandon a good part of the message that was sent them. Nor will you cease
to find deceit in them. And because of their breaking their covenant We have
cursed them. They altered words from their context and they neglected a
portion of the message they were reminded of.”
Koran 5:41 “Or it be among the Jews, men who will
listen to any lie. They change the context of the words from their (right)
times and places.... For them there is disgrace in this world, and in the
Hereafter a heavy punishment.””
Koran 5:42 “They are fond of listening to falsehood, of
devouring anything forbidden; they are greedy for illicit gain!”
Koran 5:44 “It was We who revealed the Torah. By
its standard the prophets judged the Jews, and the prophets bowed (in Islam)
to Allah’s will, surrendering. For the rabbis and priests: to them was
entrusted the protection of Allah’s Scripture Book; they were witnesses of
it. Therefore fear not men, but fear Me, and sell not My revelations for a
miserable price.”
Koran 5:64 “The Jews say: ‘Allah’s hands
are fettered.’ Be their hands tied up and be they accursed for the blasphemy
they utter. Nay, both His hands are widely outstretched, giving [Muslims
Jewish booty] as He pleases. Amongst them we have placed enmity and hatred
till the Day of Doom. Every time they kindle the fire of war, Allah does
extinguish it. But they strive to do mischief on earth.”
Koran 98:1 “Those among the People of the Book, who
disbelieve and are idolaters, would never have been freed from their false
religion if the Clear Proofs had not come to them. An Apostle of Allah came
reading out of hallowed pages…. They were commanded to serve Allah
exclusively, fulfilling their devotional obligations, and paying the zakat.
Surely the unbelievers and idolaters from the People of the Book will abide in
the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures.”
Koran 5:78 “Curses were pronounced on the
unbelievers, the Children of Israel who rejected Islam, by the tongues of
David and of Jesus because they disobeyed and rebelled.”
Koran 5:80 “You see many of them allying themselves
with the unbelieving infidels. Vile indeed are their souls. Allah’s wrath is
on them, and in torment will they abide.”
Koran 5:81 “If only they had believed in Allah, in
the Prophet, and in what had been revealed to him.”
Koran 5:82 “You will find the Jews and
disbelievers [defined as Christians in 5:73] the most vehement in hatred for
the Muslims.”
Ishaq:262 “Some Muslims remained friends with the
Jews, so Allah sent down a Koran forbidding them to take Jews as friends.
From their mouths hatred has already shown itself and what they conceal is
worse.”
Koran 2:59 “We sent a plague upon the Jews from
heaven, for their evil-doing.”
Bukhari:V4B56N679 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Plague
is a means of torture sent on the Israelis.’”
Bukhari:V2B23N457 “The Prophet went out after sunset
and heard a dreadful voice. He said, ‘The Jews are being punished in their
graves.’”
Koran 17:7 “We shall rouse Our (Muslim) slaves to
shame and ravage you (Jews), disfiguring your faces. They will enter the
Temple as before and destroy, laying to waste all that they conquer.”
Bukhari:V1B4N147 “People say, ‘Whenever you sit for
answering the call of nature, you should not face the Qiblah of Jerusalem.’
I told them. ‘Once I went up the roof of our house and I saw Allah’s
Apostle answering the call of nature while sitting on two bricks facing
Jerusalem.”
Ishaq:239 “About this time Jewish rabbis showed
hostility to the Apostle in envy, hatred, and malice, because Allah had chosen
His Apostle from the Arabs. The Jews considered the Prophet a liar and strove
against Islam.”
Ishaq:239 “Jewish rabbis used to annoy the Apostle
with questions, introducing confusion.” “Korans used to come down in
reference to their questions.”
Ishaq:240 “Labid bewitched Allah’s Apostle so that
he could not come at his wives. These Jewish rabbis opposed the apostle, they
asked questions and stirred up trouble against Islam trying to extinguish
it.”
Ishaq:240 “I concealed the matter from the Jews and
then went to the Apostle and said, ‘The Jews are a nation of liars and I
want you to give me a house and hide me from them. If they learn I’ve become
a Muslim, they’ll utter slanderous lies against me.’ So the prophet gave
me a house, and when the Jews came, I emerged and said, ‘O Jews, fear Allah
and accept what He has sent you. For you know that he is the Apostle of Allah.
You will find him described in your Torah and even named.’ They accused me
of lying and reviled me. I told Muhammad, ‘The Jews are a treacherous,
lying, and evil people.’”
Ishaq:241 “Mukhayriq was a learned rabbi owning much
property in date palms. He recognized the Apostle by his description and felt
a predilection for his religion. He violated the Sabbath to fight on behalf of
Islam and was killed in battle. I am told the Prophet used to say,
‘Mukhayriq is the best of the Jews [a dead one].’ The Apostle took his
property.”
Ishaq:242 “Julas the Jew used to say, ‘If Muhammad
is right we are worse than donkeys.’ Allah sent down concerning him: ‘They
swear that they did not say it, when they did say the words of unbelief....
Allah will afflict them with a painful punishment in this world and in the
next.’ [Surah 9:75] Ishaq:242 “The Apostle ordered Umar to kill him, but
he escaped to Mecca.”
Ishaq:246 “The surah of the Hypocrites came down
because some men sent secret messages to the Nadir Jews when the Apostle
besieged them.... Allah bears witness that they are liars. Like Satan when he
says to men, “Disbelieve.”’ [59:11]
Koran 59:14 “They are a divided people devoid of
sense. There is a grievous punishment awaiting them. Satan tells them not to
believe so both of them will end up in Hell.”
Koran 59:2 “It was He [Allah] who drove the
[Jewish] People of the Book from their [Medina] homes and into exile. They
refused to believe. You did not think that they would go away. And they
imagined that their settlement would protect them against Allah. But Allah’s
[actually Muhammad’s] (torment) came at them from where they did not suspect
and terrorized them. Their homes were destroyed. So learn a lesson O men who
have eyes. This is My warning. Had Allah not decreed the expulsion of the
Jews, banishing them into the desert, He would certainly have punished them in
this world, and in the next they shall taste the torment of Hell Fire.”
Ishaq:251 “Moses commanded them to prostrate
themselves and his Lord spoke to him and they heard His voice giving them
commands and prohibitions so that they understood what they heard. But when
Moses went back to the Jews a party of them changed the Commandments they had
been given.” [2:75]
Ishaq:252 “Have you no understanding? Why do you
maintain that he is not a prophet since you know that Allah has made a
Covenant with you that you should follow him? While he tells you that he is
the prophet whom you are expecting, and that you will find him in Our book,
you oppose him and do not recognize him. You reject his prophethood on mere
opinion.”
Ishaq:253 “Allah cursed them for their unbelief. When
a scripture comes to them from Allah confirming what they already have, they
deny it. Allah’s curse is on them.”
Ishaq:254 “In the pagan era the Jews were scripture
folk and we were pagans. They used to say, ‘Soon a prophet will be sent whom
we shall follow.’ When Allah sent his Apostle from the Quraysh and we
followed him they denied him. Allah revealed, ‘When there comes to him one
they recognize, they deny him. They are wretched, so Allah cursed them, and He
will give them a shameful punishment.’ The double anger is His wrath because
they have disregarded the Torah and anger because they disbelieved in this
Prophet whom Allah has sent to them.” [2:89]
Ishaq:254 “Long for death [Jews], if you are truthful.
Pray that God will kill whichever one of us is the most false. The Jews
refused the Prophet’s dare.” “Allah said to His Prophet, ‘They will
never accept your dare because of their past deeds. But they recognize you
from the knowledge they have. Yet they deny. Had they accepted your dare, not
a single Jew would have remained alive on the earth.” [2:94]
Ishaq:254 “We will not remove a Jew from the
punishment. The Jew knows the shameful thing that awaits him in the next life
because he has wasted the knowledge he has.” [2:96]
Ishaq:255 “Jewish rabbis came to the Apostle and asked
him to answer four questions saying, ‘If you do so we will follow you,
testify to your truth, and believe in you.’ They began, ‘Why does a
boy resemble his mother when the semen comes from the father?’ Muhammad
replied, ‘Do you not know that a man’s semen is white and thick and a
woman’s is yellow and thin? The likeness goes with that which comes to the
top.’ ‘Agreed,’ the rabbis proclaimed.... The rabbis said. ‘But
Muhammad, your spirit is an enemy to us, an angel who comes only with violence
and the shedding of blood, and were it not for that we would follow you.”
Ishaq:255 “So Allah sent down concerning them: ‘When
the Apostle comes to them from Allah confirming that which they have received
in scripture, they put it behind their backs as if they did not know it. They
follow that which Satan read concerning the kingdom of Solomon—sorcery.’
One of the rabbis said, ‘Don’t you wonder at Muhammad? He alleges that
Solomon was a prophet, and yet he was nothing but a sorcerer.’ So Allah sent
down, ‘Solomon did not disbelieve but Satan did, practicing sorcery.’” [2:101]
Ishaq:256 “The Apostle wrote a letter to the Jews of
Khaybar [before he annihilated them]. In the name of Allah, from Muhammad the
Apostle of Allah, friend and brother of Moses who confirms what Moses brought
[the Torah]. Allah says to you, ‘O Scripture folk, and you will find it in
your scripture “Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah. Those with him are severe
against the unbelievers. You see them bowing, falling prostrate, seeking
bounty, and acceptance. The mark of their prostrations is on their
foreheads.” That is their likeness in the Torah and in the Gospels.’”
Ishaq:256 “The Jews used to ask Muhammad questions
which annoyed and confused him.” Ishaq:257 “Your
situation seems obscure to us, Muhammad.”
Ishaq:257 “‘O Jews, fear Allah and submit, for you
used to hope for the Messiah’s help against the Arabs when we were pagans.
You told us that he would be sent and then told us about him.’ A Jew
responded, ‘Muhammad has not shown us anything we recognize as prophetic. He
is not the one we spoke to you about.’ So Allah revealed, ‘We confirmed
what they had, and We sent one they recognized, but they rejected him so We
are cursing them.’ The Jews replied, ‘No Covenant was ever made with us
about Muhammad.’” “‘Muhammad, you have not brought anything we
recognize. And God has not sent down any sign or miracle suggesting that we
should believe you.’ So Allah said, ‘We have sent down to you plain signs
and only evildoers disbelieve them.’”
Ishaq:257 “The Jews told Allah’s Messenger, ‘Bring
us a book. Bring us something down from heaven that we might read it.’”
Ishaq:258 “The Jews used to turn men away from Islam.
So Allah said, ‘Many Scripture folk wish to make you unbelievers after you
have believed. They are envious. Be indulgent until Allah gives you his orders
[to rob them, rape them, sell them into slavery, and murder them.]”
Ishaq:262 “Some Muslims remained friends with Jews, so
Allah sent down a Koran forbidding them to take Jews as friends. From their
mouths hatred has already shown itself and what they conceal is worse.”
“You believe in their Book [though you don’t have a clue what it says]
while they deny your book, so you have more right to hate them than they have
to hate you.”
Ishaq:263 “Abu Bakr went into a Jewish school [there
is no mention of him ever going into a Muslim school] and found many pupils
gathered around Finhas, a learned rabbi. Bakr told the Jews to fear Allah and
submit. He told them that they would find that Muhammad was an Apostle written
in the Torah and Gospels. Finhas replied, ‘Why does your god ask us to lend
him money as your master pretends.’ Abu was enraged and hit Finhas hard in
the face [for telling the truth]. Were it not for the treaty between us I
would cut off your head, you enemy of Allah. So Allah said, ‘They will taste
Our punishment of burning.’”
Ishaq:264 “Allah revealed concerning Finhas and the
other rabbis: ‘Allah issued orders to those who had received the Book:
‘You are to make it clear to men and not conceal it, yet they cast the Torah
behind their backs and sold it for a small price. Wretched was their exchange.
They will therefore receive a painful punishment.’”
Ishaq:264 “The Torah confirms what Muhammad brought.
Rifa’a, a notable Jew, spoke to the Apostle, twisting his tongue: ‘Give us
your attention, Muhammad, so that we can make you understand.’ Then he
attacked Islam and reviled it. So Allah sent down, ‘Allah knows about your
enemies. Some Jews change words from their contexts and say: “We hear and
disobey,” twisting their tongues and attacking the religion. But Allah
cursed them.’” [2:59 & 4:47]
Ishaq:264 “The Jewish rabbis knew that Muhammad had
brought them the truth, but they denied that they knew it. They were
obstinate. So Allah revealed, ‘People of the Book, believe in what we have
sent down in confirmation of what you had been given before or We will efface
your features and turn your face into your ass, cursing you.’”
Ishaq:269 “‘Tell us when the Day of Doom will be,
Muhammad, if you are a prophet as you say.’ So Allah sent down, ‘They will
ask you about the hour when it will come to pass. Say, only my Lord knows of
it. None but He will reveal it at its proper time. Say, ‘Only Allah knows
about it but most men do not know.’ How can we follow you, Muhammad, when
you have abandoned our Qiblah? And you do not allege that Uzayr [who knows?]
is the son of God.’ So Allah revealed, ‘The Jews say that Uzayr is the son
of God [no they don’t] and the Christians say the Messiah is the son of God.
That is what they say with their mouths, copying the speech of those who
disbelieved in the earlier times. Allah fight them! How perverse are
they?’”
Ishaq:269 “‘For our part we don’t see how your
Koran recitals are arranged anything like our Torah is.’ [So Muhammad who
couldn’t read said,] ‘You know quite well that the Koran is from Allah.
You will find it written in the Torah which you have.’”
Ishaq:269 “‘If men and jinn [demons] came together
to produce its like they could not.’ Finhas said, ‘Did men or jinn tell
you this, Muhammad?’ ‘You know full well that the Koran is from Allah
and that I am the Apostle of Allah. You will find it written in the Torah you
have.’ The rabbi replied, ‘When God sends a prophet, He provides for him,
so bring us a book that is divinely inspired that we may read it and determine
if you are telling the truth. We can produce our Book.’ So Allah revealed,
concerning their words, ‘Though men and jinn should meet to produce this
Koran, they would not produce its like, even working together.’”
Koran 2:40 “O Children of Israel, remember the
favors I bestowed on you. So keep My Covenant so that I fulfil your covenant.
Fear Me. And believe in what I sent down, confirming and verifying the
Scripture which you possess already.”
Koran 2:41 “Be not the first to deny or sell My
Verses for a small price; and fear Me, and Me alone.” [Another translation
reads:] “Part not with My Revelations for a trifling price, getting a small
gain by selling My Verses.”
Koran 2:43 “[Jews] Perform prayer; pay the zakat
tax; bow down and prostrate yourself with Ar-Raki’un (the obedient bowers).
You read, recite, and study the Scripture. Why don’t you understand? Nay,
seek [Islamic prostration] prayer: It is indeed hard, heavy, and exacting,
except for those who obey in submission.”
Koran 2:59 “The [Jewish] transgressors changed and
perverted the word from that which had been spoken to them to a word
distorted; so We sent a plague upon them from heaven, for their evil-doing.”
Koran 2:61 “Humiliation and wretchedness were
stamped upon the Jews and they were visited with wrath from Allah. That was
because they disbelieved Allah’s Proofs, Signs and Verses and killed the
prophets. They disobeyed and rebelled.”
Koran 2:64 “But you [Jews] went back on your word
and were lost losers. You know that you have broken the sanctity of the
Sabbath, so We said: ‘Become monkeys despised and hated.’ We made this
punishment an example and a warning for those who fear Allah.”
Koran 2:79 “But woe to the Jews who fake the
Scriptures and say, ‘This is from God,’ so that they might earn some
profit thereby.’ And woe to them for what their hands have written, and woe
to them for what they earn from it.’”
Koran 2:80 “Yet they (Jews) say: ‘The Fire will
not touch us for more than a few days…but they are enclosed in error and are
inmates of Hell.”
Koran 2:85 “Do you [Jews] believe a part of the
Book and reject a part? There is no reward for them who so act but disgrace in
the world, and on the Day of Doom, the severest of punishment…their torment
will never decrease!”
Koran 2:89 “The Book was sent to them (the
Jews) by Allah verifying and confirming what had been revealed to them already
(the Torah and Gospel). They used to pray for victory over the
unbelievers—and even though they recognized it when it came to them, they
renounced it. The curse of Allah be on those who deny!”
Koran 2:101 “When there came a messenger from Allah
confirming what was with them, a party of the people of the (Torah and Gospel)
Scripture Book fling away the Book of Allah, tossing it behind their backs, as
if they did not know!”
Koran 2:109 “Quite a number of the People of the
Book wish they could turn you [Muslim] (people) back to infidelity after you
have believed [submitted], through selfish envy, even after the Truth has
become manifest to them. Indulge them until Allah issues his orders.”
Tabari VII:26 “When the Prophet came to Yathrib he saw
the Jews fasting on Ashura day. He questioned them, and they said it was the
day upon which God drowned Pharaoh and saved Moses from the Egyptians. He
said, ‘We have a better right to Moses than you do.’”
Tabari VII:85 “After Muhammad killed many Quraysh
polytheists at Badr, the Jews were envious and behaved badly toward him,
saying, ‘Muhammad has not met anyone who is good at fighting. Had he met us,
he would have had a real battle.’ They also infringed the treaty in various
ways.”
Ishaq:232 “The Jews shall contribute to the cost of
war so long as they are fighting alongside the believers. The Jews have their
religion, the Muslims have theirs. None of them shall go out to war unless
they have Muhammad’s permission. The Jews must pay, however, for as long as
the war lasts. If any dispute or controversy should arise it must be referred
to Allah and Muhammad, His Apostle. If the Jews are called to make peace they
must, except in the case of Holy War. Allah approves of this document.”
Tabari VII:85 “What happened to the Qaynuqa [the
wealthiest Jewish tribe in Yathrib] was that Muhammad assembled them in their
Marketplace and said, ‘Jews, beware lest Allah brings on you the kind of
vengeance which He brought on the Quraysh. Accept Islam [submit] and become
Muslims [surrender]. You know that I am a Prophet. You will find me in your
Scriptures and in Allah’s Covenant with you.’”
Ishaq:363 “The Jews of the Qaynuqa replied,
‘Muhammad, do you think that we are like your people? Do not be deluded by
the fact that you met a people with no knowledge and you made good use of your
opportunity.’”
Tabari VII:85 “The Qaynuqa were the first Jews to
infringe the agreement between them and the Messenger.” [We are not told how
they “infringed.”] “The campaign of the Prophet against the Banu Qaynuqa
was in Shawwal (March 27, 624) in the second year of the Hijrah [migration
from Mecca].”
Tabari VII:86 “Gabriel brought down the following
verse to the Messenger: ‘If you apprehend treachery from any people (with
whom you have a treaty), retaliate by breaking off (relations) with them.’
[8:58] When Gabriel had finished delivering this verse, the Prophet said, ‘I
fear the Qaynuqa.’ It was on the basis of this verse that Muhammad advanced
on them.”
Ishaq:363 “Allah’s Apostle besieged the Qaynuqa
until they surrendered at his discretion unconditionally.”
Tabari VII:86 “Abd Allah [a Yathrib chief] rose up
when Allah had put them in his power, and said, ‘Muhammad, treat my ally
well, for the Qaynuqa are a confederate of the Khazraj.’ The Prophet ignored
him, so Abd Allah repeated his request.” Ishaq:363 “The
Prophet turned away from him so Abd Allah put his hand on the collar of the
Messenger’s robe. Muhammad said, ‘Let go of me!’ He was so angry his
face turned black. Then he said, ‘Damn you, let me go!’ Abd Allah replied,
‘No, by God, I will not let you go until you treat my ally humanely. There
are seven hundred men among them who defended me from my foes when I needed
their help. And now, you would mow them down in a single morning? By God I do
not feel safe around here any more. I am afraid of what the future may have in
store.’ So the Messenger said, ‘You can have them.’”
Tabari VII:87 “The Prophet said, ‘Let them go; may
Allah curse them, and may he curse Abd Allah with them.’ So the Muslims let
them go. Then Muhammad [went back on his word and] gave orders to expel the
Jews. Allah gave their property as booty to his Messenger. The Qaynuqa did not
have any farmland, as they were goldsmiths. The Prophet took many weapons
belonging to them and the tools of their trade. The person who took charge of
their expulsion from Yathrib along with their children was Ubadah. He
accompanied them as far as Dhubab, saying: ‘The farther you go the
better.’”
Bukhari:V5B59N362 “He exiled all the Qaynuqa Jews from
Medina.”
Ishaq:364 “Muslims, take not Jews and Christians as
friends. Whoever protects them becomes one of them, they become diseased, and
will earn a similar fate.”
Ishaq:364 “‘I fear this change of circumstance may
end up overtaking us.’ So Allah replied, ‘He will be sorry for his
thoughts. True believers perform prostrations, they pay the tax, they bow in
homage, and renounce their agreements with the Jews. They are
Hezbollah—Allah’s Party.’”
Koran 59:2 “It was Allah who drove the (Jewish)
People from their [Yathrib] homes and into exile. They refused to believe.
They imagined that their strongholds would protect them against Allah. But
Allah’s Torment came at them from where they did not suspect. He terrorized
them. Their homes were destroyed. So learn a lesson. This is My warning. Had I
not decreed the expulsion of the Jews, banishing them to the desert, I would
have punished them. They shall taste the torment of Hell Fire.” Koran
59:4 “That is because they resisted Allah and His Messenger. If
any one resists Allah, verily Allah is severe in Punishment.”
Koran 59:6 “What Allah gave as booty to His
Messenger, He has taken away from the Jews. Allah gives His Messenger Lordship
over whom He will. Whatever booty Allah has given to Muhammad and taken away
from the (Jewish) people of the townships, belongs to Allah and to His
Apostle.”
Tabari VII:94 “The Murder of Ka’b bin Ashraf, The
Evil Genius of the Jews: The Prophet sent messengers to the people of Medina
announcing the good news of the victory granted to him by Allah at Badr. They
listed the names of the polytheists they had killed.” Ishaq:365
“Ka’b bin Ashraf was from the Jewish clan of Nadir. When he heard the
news, he said, ‘Can this be true? Did Muhammad actually kill these people?
These were fine men. If Muhammad has slain them, then the belly of the earth
is a better place for us than its surface!’” Ishaq:365
“When the enemy of Allah became convinced the report was true, he set out
for Mecca. He began to arouse people against Muhammad [i.e., he exposed him].
He recited verses in sympathy for the Quraysh men Muhammad had cast into the
pit. Ka’b Ashraf composed the following poetic lines: ‘The blood spilled
at Badr calls to its people. They cry and weep. The best men were slain and
thrown into a pit.’” Ishaq:365 “Drive off that
fool of yours so that you might be safe from talk that makes no sense. Why do
you taunt those who mourn over their dead? They lived good lives, and as such
we must remember them. But now you have become like jackals.”
Tabari VII:94 “The Prophet said, ‘Who will rid me of
Ashraf?’ Muhammad bin Maslamah, said, ‘I will rid you of him, Messenger of
Allah. I will kill him.’ ‘Do it then,’ he said, ‘if you can.’”
Bukhari:V4B52N270 “The Prophet said, ‘Who is ready
to kill Ka’b bin Ashraf who has really hurt Allah and His Apostle?’
Muhammad bin Maslama said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Do you want me to kill
him?’ He replied in the affirmative.” Ishaq:365
“‘Who will rid me of Ashraf?’ Maslama said, ‘I will deal with him for
you. O Apostle, I will kill him.’ Muhammad said, ‘Do so if you can.’”
Ishaq:365/Tabari VII:94 “Muhammad bin Maslamah said,
‘O Messenger, we shall have to tell lies.’ ‘Say what you like,’
Muhammad replied. ‘You are absolved, free to say whatever you must.’”
Tabari VII:94/Ishaq:367 “Maslamah made a plan to kill
Ka’b, the enemy of Allah. Before they went to him, they sent Abu ahead. When
he arrived, they spoke together for a while. They recited verses, for Abu was
something of a poet. Then Abu said, ‘Ka’b, I have come to you about a
matter which I want you to keep secret.’ ‘Go ahead,’ he replied. ‘The
arrival of the Prophet Muhammad has been an affliction for us.’ Abu said,
‘Most Arabs are now hostile to us. We cannot travel along the roads, and the
result is that our families are facing ruin. We are all suffering.’ Ka’b
replied, ‘I warned you that things would turn out like this.’ Abu said,
‘I would like you to sell us some food. We will give you some collateral and
make a firm contract. Please treat us generously.’”
Tabari VII:95 “Abu said, ‘We will deposit sufficient
weapons with you to guarantee the payment of our debt.’ Abu wanted to fool
the Jew so that he would not be suspicious about the weapons when they came
bearing them. Abu went back to his companions, informed them of what had
happened. He told them to grab their swords and join him. Before leaving, they
went to the house of the Messenger. Muhammad walked with them as far as Baqi
al-Gharqad. Then he sent them off, saying, ‘Go in Allah’s name; O Allah,
help them [assassinate the outspoken Jew]!’ Then the Prophet went back home.
It was a moonlit night, and they went forward until they reached Ka’b’s
house.”
Ishaq:368 “Then Abu called out to him. He had recently
married, and he leapt up in his bed. His wife took hold of the sheets, and
said to the strange voice, ‘You are a fighting man; as only a man of war
leaves his house at an hour like this.” Bukhari:V5B59N369
“His wife asked him, ‘Where are you going?’ Ka’b replied, ‘Out with
Muhammad bin Maslamah and my brother Abu.’ His wife said, ‘I hear evil in
his voice as if his words are dripping blood.’ Ka’b said. ‘They are my
brother and my foster brother. A generous man should respond to a call at
night even if invited to be killed.’”
Muslim:B19N4436 “Muhammad said to his companions:
‘As he comes down, I will extend my hands towards his head, I will touch his
hair and smell it. When you see that I have got hold of his head, strip him.
When I hold him fast, you do your job.’” Bukhari:V5B59N369
“Muhammad said. ‘I have never smelt a better perfume than this,’ so that
Ka’b would relax his guard. ‘Will you allow me to smell your head?’ Then
Abu thrust his hand into the hair near his temple. When Muhammad got a strong
hold of him, he said, ‘Strike the enemy of Allah!’ So they smote him.”
Ishaq:368 “Their swords rained blows upon him, but to
no avail. Muhammad bin Maslamah said, ‘When I saw that they were
ineffective, I remembered a long, thin dagger which I had in my scabbard. I
took hold of it. By this time the enemy of Allah had shouted so loudly lamps
had been lit in the homes around us. I plunged the dagger into his breast and
pressed upon it so heavily that it reached his pubic region. Allah’s enemy
fell to the ground.’”
Tabari VII:97/Ishaq:368 “We carried Ka’b’s head
and brought it to Muhammad during the night. We saluted him as he stood
praying and told him that we had slain Allah’s enemy. When he came out to us
we cast Ashraf’s head before his feet. The Prophet praised Allah that the
poet had been assassinated and complimented us on the good work we had done in
Allah’s Cause. Our attack upon Allah’s enemy cast terror among the Jews,
and there was no Jew in Medina who did not fear for his life.’”
Ishaq:368 “Ka’b’s body was left prostrate. After
his fall, all the Nadir Jews were brought low. Sword in hand we cut him down.
By Muhammad’s order we were sent secretly by night. Brother killing brother.
We lured him to his death with guile [cunning or deviousness]. Traveling by
night, bold as lions, we went into his home. We made him taste death with our
deadly swords. We sought victory for the religion of the Prophet.”
Tabari VII:97 “The next morning, the Jews were in a
state of fear on account of our attack upon the enemy of Allah. After the
assassination, the Prophet declared, ‘Kill every Jew.’”
Bukhari:V1B1N6 “Just issue orders to kill every Jew in
the country.”
Tabari VII:97/Ishaq:369 “Thereupon Mas’ud leapt upon
Sunayna, one of the Jewish merchants with whom his family had social and
commercial relations and killed him. The Muslim’s brother complained,
saying, ‘Why did you kill him? You have much fat in you belly from his
charity.’ Mas’ud answered, ‘By Allah, had Muhammad ordered me to murder
you, my brother, I would have cut off your head.’ Wherein the brother said,
‘Any religion that can bring you to this is indeed wonderful!’”
Koran 59:14 “The Jews will not unite and fight
against you except from behind walls. They hate themselves. You would think
they were united, but their hearts are divided. That is because these [Jews]
are a people devoid of sense. Like those who recently preceded them [the
Meccans at Badr], they [the Jews who were just sent into the desert to die]
have tasted the evil result of their conduct. And for them a grievous
punishment.”
Koran 59:16 “They [the Jews] are like Satan when he
tells man, ‘Not to believe,’ When (man) denies, Satan says, ‘I have
nothing to do with you. I fear Allah, the Lord of men and jinn!’”
Koran 59:17 “Both [Jews and Satan] will go into the
Fire of Hell, dwelling therein forever. Such is the reward of the Zalimun
(disbelievers and polytheists).”
Koran 62:5 “The likeness of those who are entrusted
with the Taurat (Torah), who subsequently failed in those (obligations), is
that of an ass which carries huge books (but understands them not). Wretched
is the likeness of folk who deny the Verses of Allah.”
Koran 62:6 “Say: ‘You Jews! If you think that you
are friends to Allah, to the exclusion of (other) men, then desire death, if
you are truthful!’ But never will they long (for death), because of what
their hands have done before them! Allah knows well the polytheists! Say:
‘The Death from which you flee will truly overtake you.’”
Koran 3:65 “You People of the Book! Why dispute you
about Abraham, when the Law and the Gospel were not revealed till after him?
Have you no understanding? Ah! You are those who fell to disputing (even) in
matters of which you had some knowledge! But why dispute in matters of which
you have no knowledge? It is Allah Who knows, and you who know not!”
Koran 3:67 “Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a
Christian; but he was a true Muslim, surrendered to Allah (which is Islam),
and he joined not gods with Allah.”
Koran 3:77 “As for those who sell for a small price
the covenant and faith they owe to Allah and their own plighted word for a
small price, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter. Nor will Allah speak
to them or look at them on the Day of Judgment, nor will He cleanse them: They
shall have a grievous torment, a painful doom. There is among them a section
who distort the Book with their tongues. (As they read) you would think it is
from the Book, but it is not from the Book; and they say, ‘That is from
God,’ but it is not from Allah: It is they who tell a lie against Allah, and
(well) they know it!”
Koran 3:84 “Say (Muhammad): ‘We believe in Allah
and that which is revealed to us and that which was revealed unto Abraham and
Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob and the tribes [of Israel], and in (the Books) given
to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets, from their Lord. We make no distinction
between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered, bowing our will (in
Islam).’”
Koran 3:85 “If anyone desires a religion other than
Islam (Surrender), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He
will be in the ranks of those who are losers.” Koran 3:87
“Of such the reward is that on them (rests) the curse of Allah, of His
angels, and of all men, all together. In that will they dwell; nor will their
penalty of doom be lightened.”
Tabari VII:156/Ishaq:437 “In the fourth year of the
Islamic Era the Prophet expelled the Nadir [a large Jewish community in
Yathrib] from their homes.
Tabari VII:158 “Call Muhammad bin Maslamah to me.’
When Muhammad came, he was told to go to the Jews and say, ‘Leave my
country. You have intended treachery.’ He went and said, ‘The Messenger
orders you to depart from his country.’ They replied, ‘We never thought
that an Aws would come with such a message.’ ‘Hearts have changed,’
Muhammad said. ‘Islam has wiped out our old covenants.’”
Ishaq:437 “The Apostle ordered them to prepare for war
and to march against them. Muhammad personally led his men against the Nadir
and halted in their quarter. The Jews took refuge against him in their homes,
so he ordered their date palms to be cut down and burnt. They shouted,
‘Muhammad, you have forbidden wonton destruction of property and have blamed
those who perpetrated it. Why are you doing this?’” Koran
59:5 “The palm trees you cut down or left standing intact was by
Allah’s dispensation so that He might disgrace the transgressors.”
Ishaq:437 “So Allah cast terror into the hearts of the
Jews. Then the Prophet said, ‘The Jews have declared war.’”
Tabari VII:159 “The Messenger of Allah besieged the
Banu Nadir for fifteen days until he had reduced them to a state of utter
exhaustion, so that they would give him what he wanted. The terms in which the
Prophet made peace with the Jews were: he would not shed their blood, he would
expel them from their lands and settlements, providing for every three of them
a camel and a water-skin.” Ishaq:438 “The Jews
loaded their camels with their wives, children, and property. There were
tambourines, pipes and singing. They went to Khaybar with such splendor as had
never been seen from any tribe.” Ishaq:438 “The
Nadir left their property to Muhammad and it became his personal possession,
to do with it as he wished.”
Ishaq:438 “Allah wreaked His vengeance on the Jews and
gave His Apostle power over them and control to deal with them as he wished.
Allah said, ‘I turned out those who disbelieved of the Scripture People from
their homes. And in the next world I will torment them again with a painful
punishment in Hell. The palm trees you cut down were by Allah’s permission;
they were uprooted on My order. It was not destruction but it was vengeance
from Allah to humble the evildoers. The spoil which Allah gave the Apostle
from the Nadir belongs to him.”
Bukhari:V4B52N153 “The properties of Nadir which Allah
had transferred to His Apostle as Booty were not gained by the Muslims with
their horses and camels. The properties therefore, belonged especially to
Allah’s Apostle who used to give his family their yearly expenditure and
spend what remained thereof on arms and horses to be used in Allah’s
Cause.”
Bukhari:V4B52N176 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘You
Muslims will fight the Jews till some of them hide behind stones. The stones
will betray them saying, “O Abdullah (slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding
behind me; so kill him.”’”
Bukhari:V4B52N177 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘The Hour
will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind
which a Jew will be hiding will say. “O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind
me, so kill him.”’”
Ishaq:441 “A man who had neither shown treachery nor
bad faith haply had a change of fortune and took revenge, cutting down their
palm trees and killing the Nadir. A sharp sword in the hand of a brave man
kills his adversary. The rabbis were disgraced for they denied mighty Lord
Allah.” Ishaq:442 “Sword in hand we brought down the Nadir. By
Muhammad’s order we beguiled them.”
Tabari VIII:7 “The Quraysh said: ‘Jews, you are the
people of the first Scripture, and you have knowledge about the subject on
which we and Muhammad have come to differ. Is our religion better or his?’
‘Your religion is better,’ they said. ‘You are closer to the truth than
he.’”
Ishaq:450 “They are the ones concerning whom Allah
revealed: ‘Have you not seen those to whom a portion of the Scripture has
been given? They believe in idols and false deities. They say, “These are
more rightly guided than those who believe?”—until the words, “Hell is
sufficient for their burning. They are jealous and Allah has cursed
them.”’” [4:51]
Tabari VIII:15 “When the news reached Muhammad, he
sent Sa’d, chief of the Aws to Ka’b. ‘If it is true, speak to me in
words that we can understand but that will be unintelligible to others. So he
went out and found them engaged in the worst of what had been reported. They
slandered the Messenger and said, ‘There is no treaty between us.’ Sa’d
reviled them, and they reviled him. Sa’d was a man with a sharp temper. He
told the Jews, ‘Stop reviling him for the disagreement between us is too
serious for an exchange of taunts.’”
Ishaq:461 “Just before the noon prayers, Gabriel came
to the Apostle wearing a gold turban. He was riding a mule. He said, ‘Have
you laid down your weapons and stopped fighting, Muhammad?’ ‘Yes,’ he
replied. Gabriel said, ‘The angels have not laid down their arms! I’ve
just returned from pursuing the enemy. Allah commands you to march to the
Qurayza. I, too, will attack the Jews and shake them out of their homes.’”
Bukhari:V5B59N443-8 “When the Prophet returned from
the Trench, laid down his arms and took a bath, Gabriel came to him covered in
dust. “Why have you laid down your sword? We angels have not set them down
yet. It’s time to go out against them.’ The Prophet said, ‘Where to
go?’ Gabriel said, ‘This way,’ pointing towards the Qurayza. So the
Prophet went out to besiege them.”
Bukhari:V5B59N444 “The dust rose in the streets of
Medina as Gabriel’s regiment marched through. The angels joined Allah’s
Apostle in attacking the Qurayza Jews.”
Ishaq:461 “The Messenger commanded a crier to announce
that all should heed and obey. He ordered that none should perform the
afternoon prayer until after they reached the Qurayza settlement. The Prophet
sent Ali ahead with his war banner against the Jews, and the Muslims hastened
to it. Ali advanced toward their homes and heard insulting language from the
Jews about Allah’s Messenger. Ali ran back and told the Prophet that the
Jews were rascals and that there was no need for him to go near those wicked
men. ‘Why?’ Muhammad asked. ‘Have you heard them insult me?’
‘Yes,’ Ali answered. ‘Had they seen me,’ Allah’s Apostle replied,
‘they would not have said anything of the sort.’”
Tabari VIII:28 “Before reaching the Qurayza, Muhammad
greeted his Companions. ‘Has anyone passed you?’ he asked. ‘Yes,
Prophet,’ they replied. ‘Dihyah ibn Khalifah passed us on a white mule
with a brocade covered saddle.’ Allah’s Apostle said, ‘That was Gabriel.
He was sent to the Qurayza to shake their homes and terrorize them.’”
Tabari VIII:29 “The Prophet said, ‘No one
should pray the afternoon prayer until they are in the territory of the
Qurayza because warfare against the Jews is incumbent upon Muslims.’”
Ishaq:461 “The Muslims had been totally occupied with
warlike preparations. They refused to pray until they had come upon the Jews
in accordance with Muhammad’s order. Allah did not find fault with them in
His Book, nor did the Messenger reprimand them for it.”
Tabari VIII:28 “When the Messenger approached the
Jews, he said, ‘You brothers of apes! Allah shamed you and cursed you.’”
Bukhari:V5B59N449 “On the day of the Qurayza siege,
Allah’s Apostle said to Hassan, ‘Abuse them with your poems, for Gabriel
is with you.’”
Ishaq:461 “Muhammad besieged them for twenty-five
nights. When the siege became too severe, Allah terrorized them. After the
siege exhausted and terrorized them, the Jews felt certain that the Apostle
would not leave them until he had exterminated them. So they decided to talk
to Ka’b Asad. He said, ‘Jews, you see what has befallen you. I shall
propose three alternatives. Take whichever one you please.’ He said,
‘Swear allegiance to Muhammad and accept him; for it has become clear to you
that he is a prophet sent from Allah. It is he that you used to find mentioned
in your scripture book. Then you will be secure in your lives, your property,
your children, and your wives.’” Tabari VIII:30
“The Jews said, ‘We will never abandon the Torah or exchange it for the
Koran.’ Asad said, ‘Since you reject this proposal, then kill your
children and your wives and go out to Muhammad and his Companions as men who
brandish swords, leaving behind no impediments to worry you. If you die, you
shall have left nothing behind; if you win you shall find other women and
children.’ The Jews replied, ‘Why would we kill these poor ones? What
would be the good of living after them?’”
Ishaq:462 “Then the Jews asked, ‘Send us Abu Lubaba,
one of the Aws,’ for they were confederates, ‘so that we can ask his
advice.’ The Prophet complied and the Jews grabbed hold of him. The women
and children were crying, so he felt pity for them. They said, ‘Lubaba, do
you think we should submit to Muhammad’s judgment?’ ‘Yes,’ he said.
But he pointed with his hand to his throat, indicating that it would be
slaughter. Lubaba later said, ‘As soon as my feet moved, I knew that I had
betrayed Allah’s Apostle. He rushed away and tied himself to a pillar in the
mosque. He cried, ‘I will not leave this spot until Allah forgives me for
what I’ve done. I betrayed His Apostle.’” Ishaq:462/Tabari
VIII:32 “I heard Allah’s Apostle laughing at daybreak; so I
said, ‘Why are you laughing, Prophet? May Allah make you laugh heartily!’
He replied, ‘Lubaba has been forgiven.’” Ishaq:463
“He vanished into the night. It is not known to this day what happened to
him. Some allege that he was bound with a rotten rope and cast away.”
Tabari VIII:33 “In the morning, the Jews submitted to
the judgment of Allah’s Messenger. The Aws [Medina Muslims] leapt up and
said, ‘Muhammad, they are our allies. You know what you did the other day
with the allies of the Khazraj [another tribe of Medina Muslims]!’ Before
besieging the Qurayza, the Messenger had besieged the Qaynuqa, who were the
confederates of the Khazraj. They had submitted to his judgment and were
banished.”
Bukhari:V5B59N448 “Sa’d said, ‘O Allah! You know
that there is nothing more beloved to me than to fight in Your Cause against
those who disbelieve Your Apostle. If there remains any fight with the
infidels, then keep me alive till I fight against them for Your sake.’”
Ishaq:463 “En route to Muhammad, the Aws said,
‘Treat our client well for the Prophet has put you in charge of this matter.
After many requests, Sa’d said, ‘The time has come for Sa’d, in the
Cause of Allah, not to be influenced by anyone’s reproach.’ Some of the
people who heard him, announced the impending death of the Qurayza before
Sa’d Mu’adh reached them because of the words he had said.”
Ishaq:463/Tabari VIII:34 “When Sa’d reached the
Messenger of Allah and the Muslims, the Prophet said, ‘Pass judgment on
them.’ Sa’d replied, ‘I pass judgment that their men shall be killed,
their women and children made captives, and their property divided.’
Allah’s Apostle proclaimed, ‘You have passed judgment on the Jews with the
judgment of Allah and the judgment of His Messenger.’”
Bukhari:V5B59N362 “So the Prophet killed the Qurayza
men. He distributed their women, children and property among the Muslims.”
Tabari VIII:39 “After the affair of the Qurayza ended,
the wound of Sa’d broke open. He prayed saying, ‘O Allah, You know that
there are no men whom I would rather fight and kill than men who called Your
Messenger a liar.’”
Koran 33:26 “Allah took down the People of the
Scripture Book. He cast terror into their hearts. Some you slew, and some you
made prisoners. And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses, and their
goods, giving you a land which you had not traversed before.” [Version two:]
“And He drove the People of the Scripture down from their homes and cast
panic into their hearts. Some you killed, and you made some captive. And He
caused you to inherit their farms, houses, wealth, and land you have not
trodden.”
Ishaq:464 “The Jews were made to come down, and
Allah’s Messenger imprisoned them. Then the Prophet went out into the
marketplace of Medina (it is still its marketplace today), and he had trenches
dug in it. He sent for the Jewish men and had them beheaded in those trenches.
They were brought out to him in batches. They numbered 800 to 900 boys and
men. As they were being taken in small groups to the Prophet, they said to one
another, ‘What do you think will be done to us?’ Someone said, ‘Do you
not understand. On each occasion do you not see that the summoner never stops?
He does not discharge anyone. And that those who are taken away do not come
back. By God, it is death!’ The affair continued until the Messenger of
Allah had finished with them all.”
Tabari VIII:40 “Allah’s Apostle commanded that
furrows should be dug in the ground for the Qurayza. Then he sat down. Ali and
Zubayr began cutting off their heads in his presence.”
Tabari VIII:35/Ishaq:464 “Huyayy, the enemy of Allah,
was brought out. He was wearing a rose-colored suit of clothes that he had
torn all over with fingertip-sized holes so that it would not be taken as
booty. His hands were bound to his neck with a rope. When he looked at
Muhammad he said, ‘I do not regret opposing you. Whoever forsakes God will
be damned.’ He sat down and was beheaded.”
Ishaq:464/Tabari VIII:36 “According to Aisha, one
Jewish woman was killed. She was by my side, talking with me while Allah’s
Messenger was killing her men in the marketplace.”
Tabari VIII:38 “The Messenger of Allah commanded that
all of the Jewish men and boys who had reached puberty should be beheaded.
Then the Prophet divided the wealth, wives, and children of the Qurayza Jews
among the Muslims.” Ishaq:465 “When their wrists
were bound with cords, the Apostle was a sea of generosity to us.”
Ishaq:465 “Then the Apostle divided the property, wives, and children of the
Qurayza among the Muslims. Allah’s Messenger took his fifth of the booty. He
made known on that day the extra shares for horses and their riders—giving
the horse two shares and the rider one. It was the first booty in which lots
were cast.”
Tabari VIII:38 “According to this example (Sunnah),
the procedure of the Messenger of Allah in the divisions of booty became a
precedent which was followed in subsequent raids.” Tabari VIII:39 “Then
the Messenger of Allah sent Zayd with some of the Qurayza captives to Najd,
and in exchange for them he purchased horses and arms.”
Tabari VIII:38 “The Prophet selected for himself from
among the Jewish women of the Qurayza, Rayhanah. She became his concubine.
When he predeceased her, she was still in his possession. When the Messenger
of Allah took her as a captive, she showed herself averse to Islam and
insisted on Judaism.”
Ishaq:466 “The Apostle chose one of the Jewish women
for himself. Her name was Rayhanah. She remained with him until she died, in
his power. The Apostle proposed to marry her and put the veil on her but she
said, ‘Leave me under your power, for that will be easier. She showed a
repugnance towards Islam when she was captured.”
Ishaq:466 “Allah sent down [a surah] concerning the
Trench and Qurayza raid. The account is found in the Allied Troops. In it He
mentions their trial and His kindness to the Muslims.”
Ishaq:468 “Allah brought down the People of the
Scripture Book. I forced the Qurayza from their homes and cast terror into
their hearts. Some you slew, and some you took captive. You killed their men
and enslaved their women and children. And I caused you to inherit their land,
their dwellings, and their property. Allah can do all things.’”
Ishaq:479 “Slain in Allah’s religion, Sa’d
inherits Paradise with the martyrs. His was a noble testimony. When he
pronounced his verdict on the Qurayza, he did not judge on his own volition.
His judgment and Allah’s were one. Sa’d is among those who sold his life
for the Garden of Bliss.” Ishaq:469 “An Ansar [Muslim] recited this poem:
‘The throne of Allah shook for only one man: Sa’d the brave and bold, a
glorious leader, a knight ever ready. Stepping into the battle, he cut heads
to pieces.”
Ishaq:469 “On the day the Qurayza Jews were slain, one
Muslim was martyred. A stone was thrown on him and it inflicted a shattering
wound. The Apostle said, ‘He will have the reward of two martyrs.’”
Ishaq:475 “Allah commanded that horses should be
kept for His enemy in the fight so they might vex them. We obeyed our
Prophet’s orders when he called us to war. When he called for violent
efforts we made them. The Prophet’s command is obeyed for he is truly
believed. He will give us victory, glory, and a life of ease. Those [Jews] who
call Muhammad a liar disbelieve and go astray. They attacked our religion and
would not submit.”
Ishaq:481 “The Apostle slew them in their own town.
With our troops he surrounded their homes. We shouted out cries in the heat of
battle. The Jews were given the Scripture and wasted it. Being blind, [the
illiterate man said] they strayed from the Torah. You Jews disbelieved the
Koran and yet you have tasted the confirmation of what it said. May Allah
make our raid on them immortal. May fire burn in their quarter. They will no
longer ruin our lands. You [Jews] have no place here, so be off!”
Ishaq:480 “The Qurayza met their misfortune [now
there’s an understated word]. In humiliation they found no helper. A
calamity worse than that which fell upon the Nadir befell them. On that day
Allah’s Apostle came to them like a brilliant moon. We left them with blood
upon them like a pool. They lay prostrate with the vultures circling round.” [top]
