That's right #11 in the series Know Thine Enemy by Ben Powell and another addition to Honoring Islam. http://aldajjal.multiply.com/ Triumphalism - 2:137. So if they believe in the like of that which you believe, then they are rightly guided, but if they turn away, then they are only in opposition. So Allâh will suffice you against them. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.
-
3:123. And Allâh has already made you victorious at Badr, when you were a weak little force. So fear Allâh much [abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden and love Allâh much, perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained] that you may be grateful. -
3:125. "Yes, if you hold on to patience and piety, and the enemy comes rushing at you; your Lord will help you with five thousand angels having marks (of distinction)." 3:126. Allâh made it not but as a message of good news for you and as an assurance to your hearts. And there is no victory except from Allâh, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. 3:127. That He might cut off a part of those who disbelieve, or expose them to infamy, so that they retire frustrated. -
3:160. If Allâh helps you, none can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in Allâh (Alone) let believers put their trust. - 5:52. And you see those in whose hearts there is a disease (of hypocrisy), they hurry to their friendship, saying: "We fear lest some misfortune of a disaster may befall us." Perhaps Allâh may bring a victory or a decision according to His Will. Then they will become regretful for what they have been keeping as a secret in themselves.
- 13:41. See they not that We gradually reduce the land (of disbelievers, by giving it to the believers, in war victories) from its outlying borders. And Allâh judges, there is none to put back His Judgement and He is Swift at reckoning.
-
14:15. But they (the Messengers) sought victory and help [from their Lord (Allâh)], and every obstinate, arrogant dictator (who refuses to believe in the Oneness of Allâh) was brought to a complete loss and destruction. -
17:6. Then We gave you once again, a return of victory over them. And We helped you with wealth and children and made you more numerous in man power. - 40:51. Verily, We will indeed make victorious Our Messengers and those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh Islâmic Monotheism) in this world's life and on the Day when the witnesses will stand forth, (i.e. Day of Resurrection),
-
61:9. He it is Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islâmic Monotheism) to make it victorious over all (other) religions even though the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh and in His Messenger Muhammed) hate (it). When the chaff is removed, the core of Islam lies exposed to our view; let us view it in the full light of truth:
So Allâh will suffice you against them.... Allâh has already made you victorious... your Lord will help you with five thousand angels... And there is no victory except from Allâh ... That He might cut off a part of those who disbelieve... If Allâh helps you, none can overcome you... Perhaps Allâh may bring a victory or a decision according to His Will... every obstinate, arrogant dictator ...was brought to a complete loss and destruction ... We gave you once again, a return of victory over them ... We will indeed make victorious Our Messengers ... to make it victorious.
Believing Muslims know that eventual victory is preordained. Allah has promised them. Lest you doubt my word, look at Allah's!
- 8:65. O Prophet (Muhammad)! Urge the believers to fight. If there are twenty steadfast persons amongst you, they will overcome two hundred, and if there be a hundred steadfast persons they will overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they (the disbelievers) are people who do not understand.
- 48:1. Verily, We have given you (O Muhammad) a manifest victory.
-
48:19. And abundant spoils that they will capture. And Allâh is Ever All-Mighty, All-Wise. 48:20. Allâh has promised you abundant spoils that you will capture, and He has hastened for you this, and He has restrained the hands of men from you, that it may be a sign for the believers, and that He may guide you to a Straight Path. The object of Islam is not spirituality. It is not brotherly love. It is not compassion. It is rape, pillage & plunder!!! Why do I keep driving this point home? Because it is the core of a matter of life and death; to save your life and that of your progeny, you need to get off yer fat arse and take action!!! To drive this point home, I shall now present a few relevant topic titles from Ibn Kathir's Tafsir. Click them; read and be disgusted.
If reading those tafsir titles does not bring you to the brink of incontinence, and a desire to stand on the rim of Hell directing the little yellow river toward Muhammad's burning embers, then you should fall over; you are dead already. | |
| More Honoring Islam through Ben Powell's Know Thine Enemy #10 http://aldajjal.multiply.com/ Supremacism & Intolerance -
1:7. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians). -
3:61. Then whoever disputes with you concerning him ['Iesa (Jesus)] after (all this) knowledge that has come to you, [i.e. 'Iesa (Jesus)] being a slave of Allâh, and having no share in Divinity) say: (O Muhammad) "Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves - then we pray and invoke (sincerely) the Curse of Allâh upon those who lie." - 3:85. And whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.
-
3:110. You [true believers in Islâmic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad and his Sunnah (legal ways, etc.)] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma'rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all that Islâm has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islâm has forbidden), and you believe in Allâh. And had the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed, it would have been better for them; among them are some who have faith, but most of them are Al-Fâsiqûn (disobedient to Allâh - and rebellious against Allâh's Command). 3:111. They will do you no harm, barring a trifling annoyance; and if they fight against you, they will show you their backs, and they will not be helped. 3:112. Indignity is put over them wherever they may be, except when under a covenant (of protection) from Allâh, and from men; they have drawn on themselves the Wrath of Allâh, and destruction is put over them. This is because they disbelieved in the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh and killed the Prophets without right. This is because they disobeyed (Allâh) and used to transgress beyond bounds (in Allâh's disobedience, crimes and sins). - Bukhari Volume 6, Book 60, Number 80:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Verse:--"You (true Muslims) are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind." means, the best of peoples for the people, as you bring them with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam. -
9:30. And the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allâh, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allâh. That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of the disbelievers of old. Allâh's Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth! -
32:20. And as for those who are Fâsiqûn (disbelievers and disobedient to Allâh), their abode will be the Fire, every time they wish to get away therefrom, they will be put back thereto, and it will be said to them: "Taste you the torment of the Fire which you used to deny." 32:21. And verily, We will make them taste of the near torment (i.e. the torment in the life of this world, i.e. disasters, calamities, etc.) prior to the supreme torment (in the Hereafter), in order that they may (repent and) return (i.e. accept Islâm). - 3:55. And (remember) when Allâh said: "O 'Iesa (Jesus)! I will take you and raise you to Myself and clear you [of the forged statement that 'Iesa (Jesus) is Allâh's son] of those who disbelieve, and I will make those who follow you (Monotheists, who worship none but Allâh) superior to those who disbelieve [in the Oneness of Allâh, or disbelieve in some of His Messengers, e.g. Muhammad, 'Iesa (Jesus), Mûsa (Moses), etc., or in His Holy Books, e.g. the Taurât (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), the Qur'ân] till the Day of Resurrection. Then you will return to Me and I will judge between you in the matters in which you used to dispute."
- 3:139. So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be superior (in victory) if you are indeed (true) believers.
-
9:33. It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islâm), to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh) hate (it). -
48:28. He it is Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islâm), that He may make it (Islâm) superior over all religions. And All-Sufficient is Allâh as a Witness. - Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 53:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, "Nobody who dies and finds good from Allah (in the Hereafter) would wish to come back to this world even if he were given the whole world and whatever is in it, except the martyr who, on seeing the superiority of martyrdom, would like to come back to the world and get killed again (in Allah's Cause)." Narrated Anas: The Prophet said, "A single endeavor (of fighting) in Allah's Cause in the afternoon or in the forenoon is better than all the world and whatever is in it. ... -
Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 65: Narrated Abu Musa: A man came to the Prophet and asked, "A man fights for war booty; another fights for fame and a third fights for showing off; which of them fights in Allah's Cause?" The Prophet said, "He who fights that Allah's Word (i.e. Islam) should be superior, fights in Allah's Cause." Allah's word should be superior. That means: Islam must dominate the world. Dar-Ul-Islam must expand to 100% and Dar-Ul-Harb must contract into nothingness. This says it all: "You (true Muslims) are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind." means, the best of peoples for the people, as you bring them with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam." That hadith exemplifies Supremacism. But Islam ain't racist. Islam is about brotherhood and tolerance. In a pig's it is! What's the worst possible case? Who is qualified to be their chief? - Abu Dawud Book 36, Number 4266:
Narrated Jabir ibn Samurah: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: The religion will continue to be established till there are twelve caliphs over you, and the whole community will agree on each of them. I then heard from the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) some remarks which I could not understand. I asked my father: What is he saying: He said: all of them will belong to Quraysh. -
Muslim Book 020, Number 4473: It has been narrarted on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: People are subservient to the Quraish: the Muslims among them being subservient to the Muslims among them, and the disbelievers among the people being subservient to the disbelievers among them. -
Muslim Book 020, Number 4476: It has been narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: The Caliphate will remain among the Quraish even if only two persons are left (on the earth), If you seed a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted and you will go to Hell, after the Muslims torment you in this world. Jews & Christians are cursed. Muslims are the best of people--leading us on chains until we submit. Allah's word must be made superior; he who fights to make it superior fights in Allah's cause. The Caliph must be a member of Muhammad's tribe. Everything President Bush, Secretary of State Rice, Prime Minister Blair and CAIR have told you about Islam is equine excrement. Are you catching on yet?!? | |
More honoring Islam through Ben Powell's Know Thine Enemy #9 http://aldajjal.multiply.com/ Absolutism & Abrogation The Qur'an is not silent concerning itself.
-
44:2. By the manifest Book (this Qur'ân) that makes things clear, 44:3. We sent it (this Qur'ân) down on a blessed night [(i.e. night of Qadr, Sûrah No: 97) in the month of Ramadân,, the 9th month of the Islâmic calendar]. Verily, We are ever warning [mankind that Our Torment will reach those who disbelieve in Our Oneness of Lordship and in Our Oneness of worship]. 44:4. Therein (that night) is decreed every matter of ordainments . 44:5. Amran (i.e. a Command or this Qur'an or the Decree of every matter) from Us. Verily, We are ever sending (the Messengers), -
56:77. That (this) is indeed an honourable recital (the Noble Qur'ân). 56:78. In a Book well-guarded (with Allâh in the heaven i.e. Al-Lauh Al-Mahfûz). 56:79. Which (that Book with Allâh) none can touch but the purified (i.e. the angels). 56:80. A Revelation (this Qur'ân) from the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 56:81. Is it such a talk (this Qur'an) that you (disbelievers) deny? -
2:185. The month of Ramadân in which was revealed the Qur'ân, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). ... -
3:7. It is He Who has sent down to you (Muhammad) the Book (this Qur'ân). In it are Verses that are entirely clear, they are the foundations of the Book [and those are the Verses of Al-Ahkâm (commandments, etc.), Al-Farâ'id (obligatory duties) and Al-Hudud (legal laws for the punishment of thieves, adulterers, etc.)]; and others not entirely clear. So as for those in whose hearts there is a deviation (from the truth) they follow that which is not entirely clear thereof, seeking Al-Fitnah (polytheism and trials, etc.), and seeking for its hidden meanings, but none knows its hidden meanings save Allâh. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in it; the whole of it (clear and unclear Verses) are from our Lord." And none receive admonition except men of understanding. (Tafsir At-Tabarî). -
12:1. Alif-Lâm-Râ. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allâh (Alone) knows their meanings]. These are the Verses of the Clear Book (the Qur'ân that makes clear the legal and illegal things, legal laws, a guidance and a blessing). 12:2. Verily, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'ân in order that you may understand. 12:3. We relate unto you (Muhammad) the best of stories through Our Revelations unto you, of this Qur'ân. And before this (i.e. before the coming of Divine Inspiration to you), you were among those who knew nothing about it (the Qur'ân). -
22:16. Thus have We sent it (this Qur'ân) down (to Muhammad) as clear signs, evidences and proofs, and surely, Allâh guides whom He wills. -
22:72. And when Our Clear Verses are recited to them, you will notice a denial on the faces of the disbelievers! They are nearly ready to attack with violence those who recite Our Verses to them. Say: "Shall I tell you of something worse than that? The Fire (of Hell) which Allâh has promised to those who disbelieve, and worst indeed is that destination!" -
24:46. We have indeed sent down (in this Qur'ân) manifest Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, lawful and unlawful things, and the set boundries of Islâmic religion, etc. that make things clear showing the Right Path of Allâh). And Allâh guides whom He wills to a Straight Path (i.e. to Allâh's religion of Islâmic Monotheism). -
24:54. Say: "Obey Allâh and obey the Messenger, but if you turn away, he (Messenger Muhammad) is only responsible for the duty placed on him (i.e. to convey Allâh's Message) and you for that placed on you. If you obey him, you shall be on the right guidance. The Messenger's duty is only to convey (the message) in a clear way (i.e. to preach in a plain way)." The Qur'an tells us that it is Allah's word; it is clear and definitive; a clear guide to obedience. It tells us that its commands are clear. Take a good long look at 3:7. The foundations of the book are clear commandments.
I have now shown you clear evidence of Qur'anic absolutism. It is Allah's word; his law which must be obeyed. His Apostle's exemplary obedience to it is to be emulated. So, what is a Muslim to do when the Qur'an contradicts itself?
- 2:256. There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Tâghût and believes in Allâh, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Knower.
-
8:38. Say to those who have disbelieved, if they cease (from disbelief) their past will be forgiven. But if they return (thereto), then the examples of those (punished) before them have already preceded (as a warning). 8:39. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world ]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then certainly, Allâh is All-Seer of what they do. What the Hell? Naskh, thats what! The 'science' of abrogation.
-
2:106. Whatever a Verse (revelation) do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring a better one or similar to it. Know you not that Allâh is able to do all things? -
16:101. And when We change a Verse [of the Qur'ân, i.e. cancel (abrogate) its order] in place of another, and Allâh knows the best of what He sends down, they (the disbelievers) say: "You (O Muhammad) are but a Muftari! (forger, liar)." Nay, but most of them know not. Surah 2 was the 87th to be revealed; 8 was 88th, next to last. Thus 2:256 is abrogated by 8:39. Here is a chart depicting the sequence of revelation. (Surah 9 was #113, next to last, so 9:29 also trumps 2:256.)
The bottom line: the Qur'an is Allah's perfect, final & immutable word, which must be obeyed. Allah said fight them: they must fight us! | |
| Getting back to business as usual,slaying the crocodile,here is Ben's next installment of Know Thine Enemy by Ben Powell. #8 Islamophobia and Moderation.He is up to posting # 11. http://aldajjal.multiply.com/ Islamophobia & ModerationThis installment occurs out of sequence because its publication was stimulated by Tawfik Hamid's Opinion Journal editorial: How to End 'Islamophobia'. What does Islamophobia mean? Lets examine the definition of phobia. an uncontrollable, irrational, and persistent fear of a specific object, situation, or activity.www.montefiore.org/healthlibrary/adult/mentalhealth/content.asp An obsessive, persistent, unrealistic fear of an external object or situation.
www.dphilpotlaw.com/html/glossary.html is an irrational and intense fear of a situation or object. See our leaflet on Anxiety and Phobias for further information.www.rcpsych.ac.uk/info/glosConds.htm a persistent, irrational fear accompanied by a compelling desire to avoid the object, activity, or situation that provokes the fear.www.mcg.edu/Resources/MH/sourcebk/glossary.htm An unrealistic fear, often with obsessional characteristics.
www.hec.ohio-state.edu/bitf/eatgloss.htm persistent irrational fear of an activity or object. This leads to avoidance. The fear is out of proportion of the reality of the threat
www.indianpsychiatry.com/Glossary.htmThree out of the first five definitions include irrational; the other two include unrealistic. When they attach the Islamophobe label to us, irrational & unrealistic come along for the ride.
Is fear & loathing of Islam irrational? Only if Islam is benign. If Islam is aggressive, with a track record of aggression, then the fear & loathing are neither irrational nor unrealistic. What did Allah say?
- 3:151 We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve
- 8:12 I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes.
- 59:2 But Allah's (Torment) reached them from a place whereof they expected it not, and He cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their own dwellings with their own hands and the hands of the believers. Then take admonition, O you with eyes (to see).
Allah declares that he will cast terror into our hearts, commands Muhammad and his slaves to decapitate and mutilate us so that we can not be resurrected and declares what he did to the Bani An-Nadir to be a warning to instill fear in us. What did Muhammad say ? But those are anachronisms, which applied only in ancient times, in particular places and situations, when Islam was attacked. In a pig's sphincter!! - 2:216 Jihâd is ordained for you
- 8:39 fight them until there is no more Fitnah and the religion will all be for Allâh Alone
- 9:29 Fight against those who believe not in Allâh, ... among the people of the Scripture , until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
- Abu Dawud 14.2526 jihad will be performed continuously since the day Allah sent me as a prophet until the day the last member of my community will fight with the Dajjal (Antichrist).
- Bukhari 4.53.386 Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone or give Jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says:-- "Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e. martyred), shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever amongst us remain alive, shall become your master."
In light of those damnable declarations and in light of the genocidal depredations against India, Assyria, Armenia, Israel, Madrid, London, Beslan, New York City and Washington D.C., I submit to you: fear & loathing of Islam ain't irrational. Islamophobia is a false slogan cooked up for propaganda. Tawfik Hamid quotes the OIC's recent diatribe. From Arab News: The ministers described Islamophobia as a deliberate defamation of Islam and discrimination and intolerance against Muslims. ...
...the foreign ministers termed Islamophobia the worst form of terrorism and called for practical steps to counter it.
How can one possibly defame an institution so evil as Islam?! Revealing the damnable doctrines & practices of the demon's own murder cult is " the worst form of terrorism"?!! Worse than the Beltway Snipings?! Worse than Beslan?!! That excrement would gag a maggot!!! “The linkage of terrorists and extremists with Islam in a generalized manner is unacceptable,” Can you find a more flagrant example of analencephalopathy? Who would ever think of linking Islam with terror? The links are solid, and on display in Islam's canon of scripture, if anyone would take the time to read them! Back to Dr. Hamid's editorial. To bring an end to Islamophobia, we must employ a holistic approach that treats the core of the disease. It will not suffice to merely suppress the symptoms. It is imperative to adopt new Islamic teachings that do not allow killing apostates (Redda Law). Islamic authorities must provide mainstream Islamic books that forbid polygamy and beating women. Accepted Islamic doctrine should take a strong stand against slavery and the raping of female war prisoners, as happens in Darfur under the explicit canons of Shariah ("Ma Malakat Aimanikum"). Muslims should teach, everywhere and universally, that a woman's testimony in court counts as much as a man's, that women should not be punished if they marry whom they please or dress as they wish.
First, he assumes that Islamophobia is real; that our fear & loathing are irrational & unrealistic. Nobody can make that claim with a straight face after the Abomination. He says that new Islamic teachings must be adopted. He wants to write killing apostates, polygamy & wife beating out of the Qur'an. Ain't it strange that he makes no mention of terrorism & Jihad? I have some bad news for Dr. Hamid: Allah's word is perfect and timeless. Perfection can only be defiled; never improved. Allah said that his word can not be changed. - 6:115 None can change His Words.
- 10:15 "Say (O Muhammad): "It is not for me to change it on my own accord; I only follow that which is revealed unto me. Verily, I fear if I were to disobey my Lord, the torment of the Great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)."
- 10:64 No change can there be in the Words of Allâh
- 18:27 None can change His Words
- 30:30 No change let there be in Khalqillâh (i.e. the Religion of Allâh Islâmic Monotheism),
Exactly what part of No change; None can change His Words do the proponents of reform not comprehend?! Muslims should--must--develop strategies to rescue our religion by combating the tyranny of Salafi Islam and its dreadful consequences. Dr. Hamid expects us to be ignorant of the fact that Salafists are emulators of Muhammad. Salafis did not invent Islamic terrorism; Muhammad did, he bragged about being made victorious by terror. Islam is what Allah said & Muhammad did. It is what it is; it can not be reformed. Muslims are commanded to obey Allah and his Apostle; that's what Salafis do.

Why? Because Allah ordered it done. Would I write that without proof? No, I am not a damned fool. Anyone who says "Islam is a great religion of peace." is a fool or a liar, I am neither.
- 8:67. It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allâh desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise.
8:67 establishes great slaughter as a prerequisite for ransoming prisoners. In so doing, it sanctifies genocide. Allah desires that Muhammad enter Paradise. Great slaughter is the price of admission. Read and re-read this ayat until you understand it.
-
47:4. So, when you meet (in fight Jihâd in Allâh's Cause), those who disbelieve smite at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives). Thereafter (is the time) either for generosity (i.e. free them without ransom), or ransom (according to what benefits Islâm), until the war lays down its burden. Thus [you are ordered by Allâh to continue in carrying out Jihâd against the disbelievers till they embrace Islâm (i.e. are saved from the punishment in the Hell-fire) or at least come under your protection], but if it had been Allâh's Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight), in order to test you, some with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allâh, He will never let their deeds be lost, Do you comprehend what you just read?
- until he had made a great slaughter
- till when you have killed and wounded many of them
- Thus [you are ordered by Allâh to continue in carrying out Jihâd against the disbelievers till they embrace Islâm
- But those who are killed in the Way of Allâh, He will never let their deeds be lost
Allah is talking about killing Kuffar, not subduing your passions with peaceful internal struggle against temptation. You do not get killed talking down a woody. Of course, those declarations are empty verbiage, nobody ever did anything like that in Allah's name, did they? Why is that mountain pass named Hindu Kush? Do you have a clue? Does "where the Hindus were slaughtered" give you a clue? But surely not in modern times! No, not since World War Two. Of course not.
But those actions are perversions of the peaceful doctrines of Islam. Yeah, right. Muhammad perverted his own doctrine, like this:
- Bukhari Volume 5, Book 59, Number 512:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer near Khaibar when it was still dark and then said, "Allahu-Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned." Then the inhabitants of Khaibar came out running on the roads. The Prophet had their warriors killed, their offspring and woman taken as captives. Safiya was amongst the captives, She first came in the share of Dahya Alkali but later on she belonged to the Prophet . The Prophet made her manumission as her 'Mahr'. Do you comprehend this? Muhammad sent an extortion letter to a peaceful settlement, then he invaded it. He killed all the men after they surrendered and enslaved their widows and orphans. He took the chieftain's young bride for his harem.
- Abu Dawud Book 38, Number 4390:
Narrated Atiyyah al-Qurazi:
I was among the captives of Banu Qurayzah. They (the Companions) examined us, and those who had begun to grow hair (pubes) were killed, and those who had not were not killed. I was among those who had not grown hair. What did Muhammad do to the adolescent boys? Did he give them dates & honey? No, he whacked their heads off!
- Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 280:
Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri:
When the tribe of Bani Quraiza was ready to accept Sad's judgment, Allah's Apostle sent for Sad who was near to him. Sad came, riding a donkey and when he came near, Allah's Apostle said (to the Ansar), "Stand up for your leader." Then Sad came and sat beside Allah's Apostle who said to him. "These people are ready to accept your judgment." Sad said, "I give the judgment that their warriors should be killed and their children and women should be taken as prisoners." The Prophet then remarked, "O Sad! You have judged amongst them with (or similar to) the judgment of the King Allah."
Who do you believe:
- George W. Bush
- Muhammad's Excellent Companions?
My guess is that the former has never read the traditions of the latter. | |
| The fourth installment and another addition to Honoring Islam of Know Thine Enemy by Ben Powell. He is now up to #6 at his home page.These don't take long to read and yet are very informative,what more can you ask for? http://aldajjal.multiply.com/ Terrorism First, the propaganda.
From the conclusion of a fatwa at Islam On Line: In other words, the religion of Islam and the moral teaching of the Qur'an are not the supporters of terrorism and the terrorists, but the remedy by which the world can be saved from the scourge of terrorism. From the real experts:
Meantime, Al-Azhar Grand Imam Mohamed Sayed Tantawi warned against mixing between Jihad, which is endorsed by Islam to defend soul and human dignity on one hand, and "terror" that targets humans and intimidate people. Saudi Arabia's U.N. Ambassador had this to say:
The mufti [top religious leader] of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and President of the Council of Senior ulema (Islamic scholars) affirmed that the explosions that occurred in the United States, the acts of plane hijacking, frightening peaceful people, and unjustly killing people, are forms of aggression and oppression which the Islamic Law not only does not condone, but also considers a major sin. And if you believe any of that fecal matter, there's a bridge in Bhagdad I'd like to sell you. Open your eyes and take a clear, cold look at what Allah said.
-
3:151. We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they joined others in worship with Allâh, for which He had sent no authority; their abode will be the Fire and how evil is the abode of the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrongdoers.) -
8:12. (Remember) when your Lord inspired the angels, "Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes." -
33:26. And those of the people of the Scripture who backed them (the disbelievers) Allâh brought them down from their forts and cast terror into their hearts, (so that) a group (of them) you killed, and a group (of them) you made captives. 33:27. And He caused you to inherit their lands, and their houses, and their riches, and a land which you had not trodden (before). And Allâh is Able to do all things. -
59:2. He it is Who drove out the disbelievers among the people of the Scripture (i.e. the Jews of the tribe of Banî An-Nadîr) from their homes at the first gathering. You did not think that they would get out. And they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allâh! But Allâh's (Torment) reached them from a place whereof they expected it not, and He cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their own dwellings with their own hands and the hands of the believers. Then take admonition, O you with eyes (to see). Allah said he would cast terror. Allah said he cast terror. Allah said casting terror resulted in killing, captivation and accrual of spoils. Allah made the terrorized an example to terrify future victims. Is there something more you need to know?
- 9:120. It was not becoming of the people of Al-Madinah and the bedouins of the neighbourhood to remain behind Allâh's Messenger (Muhammad when fighting in Allâh's Cause) and (it was not becoming of them) to prefer their own lives to his life. That is because they suffer neither thirst nor fatigue, nor hunger in the Cause of Allâh, nor they take any step to raise the anger of disbelievers nor inflict any injury upon an enemy but is written to their credit as a deed of righteousness. Surely, Allâh wastes not the reward of the Muhsinûn
Any step taken to anger or injure the Kuffar is accumulated credit as righteousness. How do Muslims earn Brownie Points? Ibn Kathir adds terror to the list. [Emphasis added.]
Muhammad was not shy about terrorism; he bragged about it!
Muslims will claim that they are forbidden to attack innocent people. Of course, they do not define innocent for you. You, as a Kaffir, are not innocent; you are a rebel against Allah. You, by resisting Islam, make yourself fair game. Never forget what Muhammad said about that!
Who is Muhammad commanded to fight?
He did not say the enemy. He did not specify armed defenders organized into an army. He did not say the guilty. He means the disbelievers, all of them, always. Your blood and property are not sacred to Muslims. Your life and property are lawful for Muslims to take. You save your life and property from Muslims by becoming a Muslim. Muslims are commanded, not forbidden to terrorize and attack you.

| Here is the third installment of Ben Powell's Know Thine Enemy a very infoprmative series for those who do not know a whole lot about Islam and a refresher course for those who do but may have forgotten quite a bit.His information comes with all the verses from the Qur'an and Hadiths with the links included.Like i said very informative.He is up to posting # 5 so don't get too far behind.He has kept them short in an attempt to interest all.He has done all the digging and learning to educate us,the hard work,the least we could do is give a few minutes of our time to read it. A lot of us have wasted valuable time on less important matters as of late. Again thanks Ben...go here to read the rest or just say hi..... http://aldajjal.multiply.com/journal/item/10 Know Thine Enemy #3 **Once again be aware of the black font as they are very important links ** Jihad Holy war? No, it means striving. Perhaps we should return briefly to Muslim Book 019, Number 4294.
- Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah.
- Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah.
- Make a holy war, do not embezzle the spoils; do not break your pledge; and do not mutilate (the dead) bodies; do not kill the children.
What could make a war holy? Lets turn to the Qur'an for guidance about striving.
- 9:41. March forth, whether you are light (being healthy, young and wealthy) or heavy (being ill, old and poor), strive hard with your wealth and your lives in the Cause of Allâh. This is better for you, if you but knew.
-
9:81. Those who stayed away (from Tabuk expedition) rejoiced in their staying behind the Messenger of Allâh; they hated to strive and fight with their properties and their lives in the Cause of Allâh, and they said: "March not forth in the heat." Say: "The Fire of Hell is more intense in heat", if only they could understand! It is better for you to strive hard with your life and wealth; failure to do so will land you in the fire. But what is this "cause of Allah" bit? Perhaps there is a hadith to explain it.
-
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 45: Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: Somebody asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Who is the best among the people?" Allah's Apostle replied "A believer who strives his utmost in Allah's Cause with his life and property." They asked, "Who is next?" He replied, "A believer who stays in one of the mountain paths worshipping Allah and leaving the people secure from his mischief." -
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 46: Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The example of a Mujahid in Allah's Cause-- and Allah knows better who really strives in His Cause----is like a person who fasts and prays continuously. Allah guarantees that He will admit the Mujahid in His Cause into Paradise if he is killed, otherwise He will return him to his home safely with rewards and war booty." -
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 50: Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, "A single endeavor (of fighting) in Allah's Cause in the forenoon or in the afternoon is better than the world and whatever is in it." -
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 65: Narrated Abu Musa: A man came to the Prophet and asked, "A man fights for war booty; another fights for fame and a third fights for showing off; which of them fights in Allah's Cause?" The Prophet said, "He who fights that Allah's Word (i.e. Islam) should be superior, fights in Allah's Cause." The best man is he who strives his utmost in Allah's cause. The Mujahid will be rewarded with Paradise or booty. A single endeavor of fighting is better than all possible worldly gain. Fighting in Allah's cause is to make his word superior; in essence, to make Islam dominate the world.. That reminds me of an ayat.
- 9:33. It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islâm), to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh) hate (it).
Allah sent the Qur'an to be made superior over all alternatives, by force of arms. To verify this, we turn next to the translator's notes. -
(V.2:190) Al-Jihâd (holy fighting) in Allâh’s Cause (with full force of numbers and weaponry) is given the utmost importance in Islâm and is one of its pillar (on which it stands). By Jihâd Islâm is established, Allâh’s Word is made superior, (His Word being Lâ ilaha illallâh which means none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh), and His Religion (Islâm) is propagated. By abandoning Jihâd (may Allâh protect us from that) Islâm is destroyed and the Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honour is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihâd is an obligatory duty in Islâm on every Muslim, and he who tries to escape from this duty, or does not in his innermost heart wish to fulfil this duty, dies with one of the qualities of a hypocrite.
Narrated ‘Abdullâh bin Mas‘ûd ??? ???? ???: I asked Allâh’s Messenger ??? ???? ???? ???? "O Allâh’s Messenger! What is the best deed?" He replied, "To offer the Salât (prayers) at their early fixed stated times." I asked, "What is next in goodness?" He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents." I further asked, "What is next in goodness?" He replied, "To participate in Jihâd in Allâh’s Cause." I did not ask Allâh’s Messenger ??? ???? ???? ???? anymore and if I had asked him more, he would have told me more. (Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Vol.4, Hadîth No.41). Is this holy fighting really a high priority to Allah?
We learned something significant from those ayat.
- Allah loves those who fight in his cause.
- Allah owns the Muslims; they are his slaves.
- Allah purchased them, the price being admission to Paradise.
- Muslims kill others and are killed fighting in Allah's cause.
[Take a bathroom break; relieve the pressure you don't want to risk ruining your furniture. ]
Is that holy fighting optional or mandatory?
- 2:216. Jihâd (holy fighting in Allâh's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allâh knows but you do not know.
It is ordained for Muslims, that means it is mandatory, not an ala carte item.
Who are Muslims commanded to fight?
-
8:38. Say to those who have disbelieved, if they cease (from disbelief) their past will be forgiven. But if they return (thereto), then the examples of those (punished) before them have already preceded (as a warning). -
8:39. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world ]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then certainly, Allâh is All-Seer of what they do. - 9:29. Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
There are two discreet commands to fight, against disbelievers and against people of the book. Both commands are fight until loops. Fight them until only Allah is worshiped. Fight them until they submit and pay extortion. Those are generally applicable, open ended commands. Their effect is not limited to a particular time or place. We will find ahadith to confirm these facts.
Muhammad was sent to all mankind, to fight the people, from his first day as a profit in 610 and the war continues until Judgment Day. Does this clear it up for you?
