Rebuttal to Craig Winn's "Prophet of Doom: MUDDLED MESSAGE" article:

The following article is a rebuttal to Craig Winn's article that is located at:  http://www.prophetofdoom.net/chapter10.html.    

Important Note to the Reader:

Craig Winn purposely twisted and modified the English translations that he used!  He changes words in translations and uses non-Muslim ones.  I've noticed this a lot through his translations of the Noble Verses that he used from the Noble Quran.

CHAPTER 10


MUDDLED MESSAGE

“This (Prophet Muhammad) is a sorcerer, a charlatan, a wizard telling lies.”
“Allah said, ‘I am planning a scheme against them.’”

    By examining the Qur’an in the order it was revealed and by adding the context of the Islamic Traditions, a very disturbing trend emerges. The Islamic deity migrates from a nameless Lord to Ar-Rahman and then to Allah. The spirit starts off demonic, personally involving itself in hellish torments. Then he journeys from foolish to fierce, moving from uninspired tongue-lashings to all-out brutality. The Qur’anic message evolved from simplistic Hanif traditions to dumbed-down subsets of the Judaic Talmud, finally settling upon Qusayy’s arcane pagan rituals. All of these were used to give a terrorist manifesto a veil of religiosity. Then, in a perverse twist of irony, the peoples who supplied the raw material for Islam became its enemies. The Hanif’s were defeated in the bloodiest battles of the War of Compulsion. The Jews suffered genocide at Muhammad’s hand. Even the Meccans who nurtured the pagan religious scam were conquered by the religion they had inspired.
    Muhammad was always running away from his god. It was as if proximity was a problem. When he was in Mecca with Allah, his dark spirit was Ar-Rahman. Away in Medina, he became Allah. God was always just far enough away to insulate the prophet from his detractors’ claims of non-performance.
    There is something else odd, too. The more Muhammad distanced himself from Allah, and the closer he moved toward the Jews and their rich repository of scripture, the more the Qur’an started to sound like the Hebrew Bible, or at least the Talmud. Yet the longer Muhammad stayed with the Jews, the more his god grew to hate them. Ultimately, he ordered his prophet to annihilate people of the Book upon which Islam’s credibility was based.
    History condemns Islam, which is why Muslims rewrite it. Listen to this attempt by Maududi, our Qur’an expert: “The general chaos and confusion prevailing in Arabia, in which the whole country was in turmoil, has been presented as an argument. Bloodshed, loot and plunder raged on every side. Tribes were subjecting tribes to raids, and no one could have peaceful sleep at night from fear that some enemy tribe might raid his settlement early in the morning. Every Arab was fully conscious of this state of affairs and realized that it was wrong.” There is no thought in all of Islamic scholarship that is as essential, as indicting, or as ignorant as this one. Yet the revisionist image of pre-Islamic Arabs as bloodthirsty raiders is widely accepted. Its derogatory overtones are preached because they are essential to the religion’s survival. The ugly Arab theory is postulated to fool the feeble minded into believing that in the context of his times, Muhammad was a godly man and that Islam made bad men good.
    But neither hypothesis is true. There is no historical evidence of Arabs conquering their neighbors before Islam. After Islam, Muslims conquered much of the world. Before Islam, there was no evidence of Arabs being looters who terrorized in violent raids. But that all changed with the advent of Muhammad. Having failed as a religious prophet in Mecca, Allah’s Messenger became a profiteer and pirate in Medina. Muslims put Arabia in turmoil, spilling blood for plunder. They became a gang who terrorized, raiding settlements and caravans alike. They knew terror, murder, thievery, and the slave trade were wrong, yet they did these things all the same. Their consciences were simply assuaged by the Qur’an. Muhammad and his god said that booty was good, and that killing was the surest way to reach the Islamic paradise.
    Seventh century Arabs were illiterate, isolated, and perhaps even ignorant. But there is no evidence that they were bloodthirsty raiders. Islam turned good men bad. That’s why today’s Muslims find it essential to revise their past and invert truth. But it is their true past, their actual history, that indicts them. Simply stated: Islam perverts men. The closer one gets to it, the more one surrenders to its calling; the more one emulates its prophet and follows the Qur’an, the more perverted one becomes. Not all Muslims are terrorists—only the good ones are.
    To find out why, let’s return to the Qur’an. The 106th surah, named after Muhammad’s tribe, “The Quraysh,” presents the nature of things before Islam. 106.001 “For the protection of the Quraysh (there are covenants covering the journeys of trading) caravans (so that they can) travel safely by winter and summer. So let them worship the Lord of this House (the Ka’aba), (He) Who provides them with food and with security against fear and danger.” This is a fairly accurate reflection of pre-Islamic Mecca, its caravans, covenants, protective months, and Ka’aba.
    The 100th surah foreshadows what was to come. 100.001 “I call to witness the (cavalry steeds), the (snorting courses), that run breathing pantingly (rushing off to battle), striking sparks of fire, scouring to the raid at dawn, raising clouds of dust as they penetrate deep into the midst of a foe en masse.” The most vicious Islamic raids deployed cavalry. As such, the prophet molded his religion to reward those who fought astride horses. The kind of religious fighting hinted at in the 100th surah came to be known as “Jihad.” The Qur’an would call it “Allah’s Cause.” But by either definition it became Islam’s principle attribute and its most enduring symbol. Bukhari:V4B52N44 “A man came to Allah’s Apostle and said, ‘Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad in reward.’ He replied, ‘I do not find such a deed.’ Then he added, ‘Can you, while the Muslim fighter is in the battlefield enter your mosque to perform prayers without ceasing and fast forever?’ The man said, ‘But who can do that?’” In other words, eternal fasting and prayer is less “religious” than being a Jihadist.
    Cavalry was central to his success, so the religious prophet crafted scripture to reward man and mount. Bukhari:V4B52N104 “The Prophet said, ‘Good will remain in the foreheads of horses for Jihad for they bring about a reward in Paradise or booty.’” “The best of both worlds” theme was how Muhammad would ultimately sell Islam to his gang of misfits. Bukhari:V4B52N105 “The Prophet said, ‘If somebody keeps a horse in Allah’s Cause motivated by His promise, then he will be rewarded for what the horse has eaten or drunk and for its dung and urine.’” Bukhari:V4B52N112 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Horses are kept for one of three purposes. For some they are a source of reward, for others a means of shelter, and for some a source of sins. The one for whom they are a source of reward, is he who keeps a horse for Allah’s Cause (i.e., Jihad).” As we move from the delusion of Mecca to the terror of Medina, keep these Hadith in mind. To Muhammad, “Allah’s Cause” was synonymous with “Jihad,” and both were about fighting.
    The Qur’an’s seventh century version of Blitzkrieg was followed by: 100.006 “Lo! man is an ingrate to his Lord. To that fact he bears witness (by his deeds). Violent is he in his love of worldly goods, tenacious in the pursuit.” From the day he arrived in Yathrib, to the day he died, Muhammad’s “deeds” were “violent.” He led terrorist raids in “tenacious pursuit of worldly goods.” Islam’s prophet was the most violent and covetous man ever to have spoken on god’s behalf. As such, these words bear witness to the fraud he perpetrated and to his hypocrisy.
    100.009 “Does he not know when that which is in the graves is poured forth, and the secrets of men are exposed, their Lord will be aware?” The secrets buried in the victims' graves cry out: Muhammad must be exposed.
    At this point I would like to alter course. There is only so much ugliness one can endure without a break. So rather than dissect the remainder of the early Meccan revelations in their entirety, I’m going to provide a “Best of Muhammad” by subject. But first, a Maududi introduction: “These surahs were sent down when persecution of Muslims was near its climax. Their theme was to warn the disbelievers of the evil consequences of the persecution and tyranny that they were perpetrating on the converts to Islam, and to console believers. If Muslims remain firm and steadfast against tyranny and coercion, they will be rewarded richly for it.”
    Islamic logic is funny, in a twisted sort of way. While mocking the self-proclaimed prophet could hardly be called “tyranny,” today’s most coercive and tyrannical nations are Islamic. They have become what they detested. As with the child abuse that gave rise to Islam, Muslims have come full circle—the abused have become the abusers. Even Maududi seems to agree: “‘Allah will avenge Himself on those who persecute you by burning the unbelievers to death and casting them into pits full of fire.’ The disbelievers will not only be punished in Hell for their disbelief but, more than that, they will suffer punishment by fire as a fit recompense for their tyranny and cruelties. ‘Allah’s grip is very severe.’ If you are proud of your strength, you should know that Pharaoh and Thamud were stronger and more numerous. Therefore, you should learn a lesson from the fate they met. Allah’s power has so encompassed you that you cannot escape His encirclement, and the Qur’an that you are bent upon belying is unchangeable: ‘It is inscribed in the Preserved Tablet, which cannot be corrupted in any way’”…although it does a world-class job of corrupting.
    The themes that follow are Muhammad’s favorites. We’ll start with a sampling of how the Islamic deity responded to those who challenged his prophet’s credentials. 076.004 “For the rejecters We have prepared chains, iron collars, manacles, and a blazing fire.” 077.039 “If you have a trick or plot, use it against Me! If you have any wit, outwit Me. Woe to the rejecters!” 078.028 “They called Our proofs, signs, and verses false with strong denial. We have recorded everything in a book, so taste (that which you earned). We give you nothing but torment.” 078.040 “We have warned you of a penalty, of a torment on the Day of Doom when the disbeliever will say, ‘Woe is me! I wish I were dust!’” 083.010 “Woe to those who deny, reject Our message, and repudiate. When Our Verses are rehearsed they say, ‘Tales of the ancients! Mere fables of old.’” 083.029 “The disbelievers used to laugh at believers. When they passed by them, they winked at one another (in mockery). When they returned to their folk, they would jest…but soon the believers will laugh at the unbelievers sitting on high thrones, gazing. The unbelievers will be paid back for what they did.” 084.022 “The unbelievers reject (Muhammad and the Qur’an); they deny and lie. Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete. So announce to them tidings of a terrible torment.” 084.020 “What is the matter with them that they do not believe, and when the Qur’an is recited to them, they do not fall prostrate in adoration.” 085.010 “Those who try or tempt the believers will have the penalty of Hell: They will have the doom of the burning fire. Verily, the Seizure of the Lord is severe and painful…. Allah will encompass them from behind! He will punish them. Nay! This is a Glorious Qur’an.” 086.015 “They are plotting a scheme against you, but I am also planning a scheme against them.” That was as direct as it was unpleasant. Accept Muhammad or suffer the consequences. Dissent is not to be tolerated.
    With the mockers warned, it was time to terrorize them. 077.029 “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.” 078.021 “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.” 084.010 “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.” 085.001 “I swear by the Zodiacal Signs, woe to the makers of the pit of fire. Cursed were the people of the Ditch.” 085.005 “The Fire is supplied abundantly with fuel.” 101.008 “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!” The Hell Fire is Allah’s resort for the rebellious—it’s for those who don’t surrender.
    To avoid this hellish doom, submit to Muhammad and obey him. A drunken brothel shall be your just dessert.   076.005 “As for the righteous, they will drink a cup of wine from a spring, making it gush forth abundantly.” 076.019 “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.” 076.021 “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.” 077.041 “The righteous shall be amidst cool shades, springs, and fruits—all they desire. Eat and drink to your heart’s content.” 078.031 “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.” 083.022 “The believers will be in Delightful Bliss: On couch-like thrones, gazing, their thirst will be slaked with pure wine.” 085.011 “For those who believe and do good deeds will be Gardens; the fulfillment of all desires.” Muhammad not only created god in his image, he crafted a paradise that mirrored his fantasies. It was filled with thrones, free-flowing wine, perpetual virgins, ever voluptuous. And there were no mockers—“never was heard vain discourse, nor lying.” And that I suppose would eliminate recitals of the Qur’an. Paradise indeed.
    But it was all for naught if the Islamic god was not. The following Allahisms are proof he wasn’t divine. 076.001 “There came over man a period of time when he was a thing not worth mentioning.” 076.002 “We created Man from nutfa (drops) of mingled sperm (sexual discharge of men and women), in order to try him. So We gave him the gifts of hearing and sight.” 076.015 “Goblets made of silver, crystal-clear, and transparent.” 076.028 “When We want We can replace man by substituting another in his stead.” 077.020 “Have We not created you from a despicable fluid? Then We placed it in a place of safety for a known period because We measure; and We are the Best to measure.” 077.025 “Have We not made the earth a receptacle for the living and the dead?” 078.006 “Have We not made the earth as a bed and the mountains pegs?” 078.037 “The Lord with Whom they cannot dare to speak, none can converse with Him, none are able to address Him.” 084.016 “But nay! I swear by…the night and all that it enshrouds which it drives on, and by the Moon in her fullness: you shall journey on from plane to plane.” 086.005 “So let man consider from what he is created. He is created from gushing water pouring forth, coming from between the backbone and the ribs.” 099.001 “When the earth is shaken to her violent convulsion and throws up her burdens, man cries, ‘What is the matter with her?’ She declares her tidings and relates her chronicles, for He will give her inspiration.” 086.013 “Lo this (Qur’an) is a conclusive Word; it is not a thing for amusement. It is no pleasantry. And it is no joke.” Man isn’t worth mentioning, and he can be easily replaced. To try us, god gave us hearing and sight. Perhaps we are to use them to see the earth as a receptacle and hear it speak with inspiration.
    Yet two verses are more fatal than frivolous. “The Lord with Whom they cannot dare to speak, none can converse with Him, none are able to address Him.” If that’s true, why prostrate oneself five times a day in prayer? And what is the difference between not being able to converse with god and having no god at all?
    “This Qur’an is a conclusive word; it is not a thing for amusement. It is no pleasantry. And it is no joke.” It is neither funny, pleasant, nor amusing, but it is conclusive. It proves that Muhammad was a fraud and that Allah wasn’t god.

 

My response:

First of all, the polytheist trinitarian pagan starts off his absurd article by stating in the first paragraph:

"....The Islamic deity migrates from a nameless Lord to Ar-Rahman and then to Allah...."

Al-Rahman or Ar-Rahman is one of GOD Almighty's 99 Divine Attributes which means "The Most Beneficent".   Every Holy Name of GOD Almighty in Islam has a meaning.  That is why they are all considered as Divine Attributes.  They are not names such as "Craig" or "Amy" where they don't mean anything.  The Divine Attributes can certainly be translated to different languages, in this case as I stated above in English, "The Most Beneficent" for the Arabic "Al-Rahman".  But names like Craig or Amy or Kelly can not be translated.  They are the same as they are in any language.

To view Allah Almighty's Divine Attributes in Islam, please visit:  The 99 Divine Attributes and Names of GOD Almighty in Islam.

Now his writings above raised the following topics:

1-  The real terrorism, torture, rape, pedophilia and mass murders of even "suckling infants" in the bible.

2-  The status of the Jews in both Islam and the Bible.

3-  The pagans of Quraysh and Jihad against them.

4-  The 100 Levels of Divine Mercy of Allah Almighty in Islam.

5-  The Reward of the Believers in Paradise and the torture of disbelievers in Hell.

Before I get into the thorough answers to the points above, it is important for the reader to know that as I proved in my previous rebuttals, the Al-Tabari and Ibn-Ishaq and other sources are extremely doubtful and unauthenticated.  Most Muslim scholars today firmly and strongly believe in this.  Not that the hadiths above are bad or anything, but as most Muslim Scholars agree, we Muslims can't take them as absolute Truth or accurate information.  Much of these volumes are either corrupt or taken out of context.  Again, this is according to the Muslims scholars.  This is why these volumes are considered "unauthenticated".

Point #1:

(The real terrorism, torture, rape, pedophilia and mass murders of even "suckling infants" in the bible)

Point #2:

(The status of the Jews in both Islam and the Bible)

(a)-  The Jews' status in the Bible:

Now according to the Bible itself, most Jews are people of evil, lies and worst of all, betrayal.  Let us look at what the Bible also says about them:

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!  (From the KJV Bible, Matthew 23:37)"

"Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.  (From the KJV Bible, Matthew 21:43)"

"You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not admit them? "From now on I will tell you of new things, of hidden things unknown to you. They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today. So you cannot say, 'Yes, I knew of them.'  You have neither heard nor understood; from of old your ear has not been open. Well do I know how treacherous you are; you were called a rebel from birth.  For my own name's sake I delay my wrath; for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you, so as not to cut you off.  (From the NIV Bible, Isaiah 48:6-9)"

"So I will disgrace the dignitaries of your temple, and I will consign Jacob to destruction and Israel to scorn.  (From the NIV Bible, Isaiah 43:28)"

"But now, all you who light fires and provide yourselves with flaming torches, go, walk in the light of your fires and of the torches you have set ablaze. This is what you shall receive from my hand: You will lie down in torment.  (From the NIV Bible, Isaiah 50:11)"

Further more from www.answering-christianity.com/bible_quran_differences.htm:

The Bible gives ample evidence of their blasphemy to GOD Almighty.  You can read in full details the following Biblical books:

Exodus 32 -  They built their golden calf god using their jewelry.

Exodus 34 -  The Jews are hard-headed people who don't listen.

Deuteronomy 31 - Moses is concerned about the Jews' future after his death because they are constantly rebellious against the Holy Words and Law of GOD Almighty.

Here are some sample verses from the chapters above:

Exodus 32
1 When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, "Come, make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don't know what has happened to him."

Exodus 32
7 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt.
8 They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said, 'These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.'
9 "I have seen these people," the LORD said to Moses, "and they are a stiff-necked people.

Exodus 34
8 Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. 9 "O Lord, if I have found favor in your eyes," he said, "then let the Lord go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our wickedness and our sin, and take us as your inheritance."

Deuteronomy 31
25 he gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD :
26 "Take this Book of the Law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God. There it will remain as a witness against you.
27 For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you have been rebellious against the LORD while I am still alive and with you, how much more will you rebel after I die!
28 Assemble before me all the elders of your tribes and all your officials, so that I can speak these words in their hearing and call heaven and earth to testify against them.
29 For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt and to turn from the way I have commanded you. In days to come, disaster will fall upon you because you will do evil in the sight of the LORD and provoke him to anger by what your hands have made."

Numbers 16
12 Then Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab. But they said, "We will not come!
13 Isn't it enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the desert? And now you also want to lord it over us?
14 Moreover, you haven't brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey or given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you gouge out the eyes of these men? No, we will not come!"

Numbers 14
10 But the whole assembly talked about stoning them. Then the glory of the LORD appeared at the Tent of Meeting to all the Israelites.
11 The LORD said to Moses, "How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the miraculous signs I have performed among them?
12 I will strike them down with a plague and destroy them, but I will make you into a nation greater and stronger than they."

Numbers 14
22 not one of the men who saw my glory and the miraculous signs I performed in Egypt and in the desert but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times-
23 not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their forefathers. No one who has treated me with contempt will ever see it.
24 But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it.

Numbers 16
29 If these men die a natural death and experience only what usually happens to men, then the LORD has not sent me.
30 But if the LORD brings about something totally new, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them, with everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the grave, then you will know that these men have treated the LORD with contempt."
31 As soon as he finished saying all this, the ground under them split apart

Note:   I believe this is where they were transformed into apes and swines according to the Noble Quran.  The earth probably never opened up and swallowed them.  Or may be it did after they were shown to everyone.  Only Allah Almighty Knows about the exact timing.

(b)-  The Noble Quran is clear about the Jews.  Some of them are Great people, and most of them are evil ones:

From www.answering-christianity.com/blessed_jesus.htm:

What is the place of the Jews and Christians in Islam?

According to Islam, the righteous people from the Jews and Christians will have their Great Reward from Allah Almighty and will enter Paradise.  Let us look at the following Noble Verses:

"And there are, certainly, among the People of the Book [Jews and Christians], those who believe in God, in the revelation to you, and in the revelation to them, bowing in humility to God: They will not sell the Signs of God for a miserable gain! For them is a reward with their Lord, and God is swift in account.   (The Noble Quran, 3:199)"

"Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book [Jews and Christians] are a portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of God all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration.  They believe in God and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous.  (The Noble Quran, 3:113-114)"

"Those who believe (in the Quran), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.  (The Noble Quran, 2:62)"

"Nay,-whoever submits His whole self to God and is a doer of good,- He will get his reward with his Lord; on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.  (The Noble Quran, 2:112)"

"Those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular prayers and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.  (The Noble Quran, 2:277)"

The Righteous and Beloved Jews in the Noble Quran:

"Of the people of Moses (i.e., the Jews) there is a section who guide and do justice in the light of truth.  (The Noble Quran, 7:159)"

The above Noble Verses clearly speak about the righteous Jews and Christians who believe in Allah Almighty and do righteousness and will have their Great Reward and enter Paradise.

However, according to Allah Almighty, from among the people of the Book, most of the ones who will gain Paradise are Christians; few of them are Jews.   Let us look at the following Noble Verses:

"Strongest among men in enmity to the believers [Muslims] wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, 'We are Christians': because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. (The Noble Quran, 5:82)" 

"The Jews say: 'God's hand is tied up.' Be their hands tied up and be they accursed for the (blasphemy) they utter. Nay, both His hands are widely outstretched: He giveth and spendeth (of His bounty) as He pleaseth. But the revelation that cometh to thee from God increaseth in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. Amongst them we have placed enmity and hatred till the Day of Judgment. Every time they kindle the fire of war, God doth extinguish it; but they strive to do mischief on earth. And God loveth not those who do mischief. (The Noble Quran, 5:64)"

"But because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them, and made their hearts grow hard; they change the words from their (right) places and forget a good part of the message that was sent them, nor wilt thou cease to find them- barring a few - ever bent on (new) deceits: but forgive them, and overlook (their misdeeds): for God loveth those who are kind. (The Noble Quran, 5:13)"

We must also know that according to Islam most of the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) are perverted transgressors, deceiving, in some cases are hypocrites, and most of them are considered Truth rejecters!  Let us look at the following Noble Verses:

"Ye [Muslims] are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in God. If only the People of the Book [Jews and Christians] had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors. (The Noble Quran 3:110)"   

"And they say: 'None shall enter Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian.' Those are their (vain) desires. Say: 'Produce your proof if ye are truthful.'  (The Noble Quran, 2:111)"

"A section of the People of the Book [Jews and Christians during Prophet Muhammad's time] say: Believe in the morning what is revealed to the believers [Muslims], but reject it at the end of the day; perchance they may (themselves) turn back (from Islam).  (The Noble Quran, 3:72)" 

"Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion. Say: 'The Guidance of God,-that is the (only) Guidance.' Wert thou to follow their desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither Protector nor helper against God.  (The Noble Quran, 2:120)"

"They say: 'Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (To salvation).' Say thou: 'Nay! (I would rather) the Religion of Abraham the True, and he joined not gods with God.'  (The Noble Quran, 2:135)"

"They do blaspheme who say:  'Allah is Christ the son of Mary.'  But said Christ: 'O Children of Israel!  Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.'   Whoever joins other gods with Allah - Allah will forbid him the Garden, and the Fire will be his abode.  There will for the wrongdoers be no one to help.  (The Holy Quran, 5:72)"

(c)-  After the Jews' betrayal to the Prophet peace be upon him, it became necessary to punish them and cleanse them out of the Holy Lands:

From http://www.alminbar.com/khutbaheng/819.htm:

.............

Let us never forget that the Jews fought against the most honourable person and the master of the Prophets and Messengers; our Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, until the very last moment of his life, despite the fact that they knew for certain that he was the seal of the Prophets which the Torah and the Bible had mentioned. They also knew for sure that Allaah would grant him victory over them and all other disbelievers; but despite all of this, they still fought, betrayed and deceived him. Moreover, they actually plotted to assassinate him sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam and never lowered the banner of war against him.

During the worst and most difficult times of times for the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, at the battle of the trench, while there were armies surrounding Madeenah, the Jews plotted to kill the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam and his companions from within Madeenah. The companions, may Allah be pleased with them, were having a terrible experience during this battle, yet the Jews of Banu Quraydhah (who were one of the Jewish tribes of Madeenah), at this most critical of times, broke the pledge of non-aggression and mutual defence which they given to the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam.

The Jews intimidated the Muslims, which added to their sense of fear and danger of being in Madeenah. Their families were at great risk and had it not been for the mercy of Allaah, the Jews of Banu Quraydhah would have started another front in the war against the Muslims from within, just when the Muslims were at their most vulnerable.

Allaah rendered the Jews plans as futile as well as those of the confederate tribes who had surrounded Madeenah. He sent down His angels who cast terror into the hearts of the confederates and they withdrew, leaving the Jews of Banu Quraydhah alone with no support. 

When the battle was over, the Muslim army and the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam went back to their homes. He sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam then took off his armour and began to have a wash when the angel Jibreel, peace be upon him, came to him and said: “O Messenger of Allaah! You have taken off your armour, but I swear by Allaah that the angels have not yet put down their weapons, go to them” (and he pointed in the direction of Banu Quraydhah). Thereupon, the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam instructed an envoy to command the Muslim army to go to attack Banu Quraydhah by proclaiming: “None of you should pray ‘Asr until they are within the territory of Banu Quraydhah.” After this, the Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam set out with his army of believers who numbered close to three-thousand mujaahideen.

Banu Quraydhah were surrounded and blockaded for more than twenty nights until they offered to surrender on the condition that Sa’d Ibn Mu’aadh, may Allaah be pleased with him, would act as an arbiter in their case. They asked for this because he, may Allaah be pleased with him, was from the tribe of Aws who were their allies before Islaam and therefore they hoped that he would give a biased judgement in their favour. Also, they refused the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam as a judge because they where afraid of the consequences of his judgement.

So the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam sent for Sa’d, who was injured during the battle and therefore had to be carried. The judgement of Sa’d was that all their men should be beheaded, their properties be seized and distributed among the Muslims and that their women and offspring be held captive. Thereupon, the Messenger of Allaah exclaimed: “Allaahu Akbar! O Sa’d! You have judged by the command of Allaah.”

Indeed, this is the judgment of Allaah with regard to the Jews who are the people of betrayal, deception, evil and corruption; the people who exhibited these repugnant characteristics even with the most honourable of the creations of Allaah; His Prophets and Messengers.

From http://www.islamic-message.net/English/Books/lopm/chptr21.htm:

THE BATTLE OF THE TRENCH

           WHEN the Prophet (Pbuh) first arrived in Medina, the Jews whowere living there had welcomed him. The Prophet (Pbuh) had returned their greeting, as he wished to be on good terms with them. An agreement was also reached between the Muslims and the Jews, which gave the Jews the freedom to practice their religion andwhich also set out their rights and their duties. Among these duties was that in the case of war with Quraysh, the Jews would fight on the side of the Muslims.

            Despite this agreement, however, some of the Jewish tribes, who resented the Prophet's presence in Medina, soon began to cause trouble amongst the Muslims. They tried to set the Muslim Emigrants from Mecca and the Ansar against each other. The troublemakers were given many warnings but they continued to be a nuisance. In the end, the Muslims had no choice but to drive them from Medina. A new agreement was offered those Jews who remained but the trouble did not end there. One of the Jewish tribes, the Bani Nadir plotted to murder the Prophet (Pbuh) but their plan was discovered and they, too, were exiled from the city. Knowing that they could not defeat the Muslims themselves, some of the leaders of the exiled Jews secretly went to Mecca to enlist the help of Quraysh. Knowing what the Meccans would like to hear, they pretended to believe in the same things. They said that they thought that the old Arab tradition was better than the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) and that they believed that the Quraysh religion of worshipping many idols was better than the Prophet's with only one God. Then the Jews told them that if all the Arab tribes attacked Medina, the Jews inside the city would help to defeat the Prophet (Pbuh) and Islam once and for all.

            The leaders of Quraysh were pleased to hear all this and seizing on what seemed to them a very good opportunity, agreed to the plan and began to gather together a formidable army. In the meantime in Medina, only one Jewish tribe, the Bani Quraydhah, refused to betray the Muslims.

            Eventually the Muslims learned of the preparations being made for war in Mecca and of the plotting of the Jews within Medina itself. The betrayal of the Muslims by the Jews did not surprise the Prophet (Pbuh), who said of them: 'The hearts of the Jews have become closed to the truth. They have forgotten what Muses taught them long ago that there is only one God.'

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

 The likeness of those who are entrusted with the

Law of Moses, yet apply it not, is as the likeness of the ass carrying books.

Evil is the likeness of the people who deny the revelations of Allah. And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.

(Koran lxii.5)

           The Muslims wondered how they could defend Medina. They heard that Abu Sufyan was coming to attack them with an enormous army which included many other Arab tribes, as well as Quraysh. What were theyto do with only a single week to prepare? The Prophet (Pbuh) and his men knew that it would be impossible for them to fight off all these tribes! The only thing they could do was to stay inside the city and try to defend it as best they could.

            Now among the people of Medina was a Persian named Salman, who had to live in the city some time before the Prophet's arrival there. As a convert to Christianity he had traveled to Medina after Christian sages had told him that a Prophet would be born in Arabia. On arriving in Medina he was, however, sold into slavery by the merchants with whom he had traveled. Later he became a Muslim, gained his freedom and became a member of the Prophet's household.

            When the people gathered to discuss a plan of action against the approaching enemy, Salman was present and it was he who suggested that they should dig a trench around the city. The Prophet (Pbuh) thought this a good idea, so the Muslims set to work, although it was in the middle of winter. They worked day and night, digging the trench as quickly as possible. The Prophet (Pbuh) himself carried rocks and when the men were tired he gave them the will to carry on. Someone later recalled how beautiful he looked, dressed in a red cloak with dust upon his breast and his dark hair nearly reaching his shoulders.

            There was little food at this time and the men were often hungry as they worked. On one occasion, however, a little girl gave some dates to the Prophet (Pbuh), which he spread out on a cloth. The men were then called to eat and the dates kept increasing in number until everyone had been fed. Even after everyone had eaten their fill, the dates continued to increase so that there were more than the cloth could hold.

            Similarly, there is the story of the lamb, that has come down to us from one who was there: 'We worked with the Apostle at the trench. I had a half-grown lamb and I thought it would be a good thing to cook it for Allah's Messenger. I told my wife to grind barley and make some bread for us. I killed the lamb and we roasted it for the Prophet (Pbuh). When night fell and he was about to leave the trench, I told him we had prepared bread and meat and invited him to our home. I wanted him to come on his own, but when I said this he sent someone to call all the men to come along. Everyone arrived and the food was served. He blessed it and invoked the Name of Allah over it. Then he ate and so did all of the others. As soon as one lot were satisfied, another group came until all the diggers had eaten enough, but still there was food to spare.

            On March 24, 627 A.D., Abu Sufyan arrived with more than ten thousand men. The Muslims numbered only three thousand. Quraysh and their allies surrounded Medina but between the two armies was the long, wide trench. The Prophet (pbuh) and his men stayed behind this trench for nearly a month defending the city against their more powerful enemy. Many times warriors tried to cross the trench and enter the city, but each time they were pushed back by the Muslims. The Muslims were afraid that if any did manage to cross over, the Jews inside Medina would join forces with them and the Muslims would be beaten. The Jewish tribe of Bani Quraydhah, who had stood by the agreement with the Muslims, were pressed by a Jewish emissary from the enemy without, to break their promise. Eventually they agreed to do so and when the news of this reached the Prophet (pbuh) and his companions they were greatly troubled. Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, the leader of the tribe of Aws, was sent by the Prophet (pbuh) with two other men to find out if this were true. When they arrived in the part of Medina where the Jews lived, they found were even worse than they had previously thought. Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, whose tribe was closely allied with the Bani Quraydhah, tried to persuade their leader not to break the treaty with the Muslims, but he refused to listen. This meant that the Muslims could not relax their guard for one moment, for they were now threatened not only by the enemy beyond the trench, but by the Bani Qurayzah, within the walls of the city.

            Things became more difficult for the Muslims day by day. It was extremely cold and food began to run out. To make matters worse, the Bani Qurayzah began openly and actively to join forces with the other Jews and cut off all supplies to the Muslims, including food. The enemies of Islam then planned how to capture Medina.

            The situation looked desperate and the Prophet (pbuh) prayed to Allah to help the Muslims defeat their enemies. That very night a sandstorm blew up which buried the tents of Quraysh. The storm continued for three days and three nights making it impossible for the enemy to light a fire to cook a meal or warm themselves by.

            On one of these dark nights the Prophet (pbuh) asked one of his men, Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, to go on a dangerous mission. The Prophet (pbuh) told him to make his way across the trench to the enemy camp where he should find out what they were doing.

            With much difficulty Hudhayfah crossed the trench and made his way to a circle of Quraysh warriors talking in the darkness. He sat near them, but as there was no fire, no one noticed him. He then heard Abu Sufyan's voice: 'Let us go hom!' he said. 'We have had enough. The horses and camels are dying, the tents keep blowing away, most of the equipment has been lost, and we can not cook our food. There is no reason to stay!' Shortly after hearing this Hudhayfah made his way quickly and quietly back across the trench and the next morning the Muslims rejoiced to find that what he had overheard had come true-Quraysh and their allies had gone away! The siege of Medina had ended in a great victory for Islam.

            But this was not to be the end of the difficulties, for the Archangel Gabriel came to the Prophet (pbuh) and told him that he should punish the Bani Qurayzah for betraying him and the Muslims. On hearing this, the Prophet (pbuh) ordered the Muslims to march against the Bani Qurayzah as they hid in their fortress. The Muslims besieged them for twenty-five days until they finally gave in. On surrendering, they asked the Prophet (pbuh) to let someone judge their case, and he agreed. He also allowed them to choose who would give the ruling.

            The man chosen to judge the Bani Qurayzah was Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, leader of the Aws, a tribe which had always protected Bani Qurayzah in the past. Sa'd ibn Mu'adh who had himself been wounded in the battle, decided that the Jews should be tried by their own Holy Law, according to which anyone who broke a treaty would be put to death. As a result all the men of the Bani Qurayzah were executed and the women and children made captive.

            If the Jews had succeeded in their pact, Islam would have been destroyed. Instead from that day on, Medina became a city where only Muslims lived. Very soon after peace had been restored to Medina, Sa'd ibn Mu'adh died of his wounds. It was said that the Archangel Gabriel came in the middle of that night and said to the Prophet (pbuh) 'O Muhammad, who is this dead man? When he arrived, the doors of heaven opened and the Throne of Allah shook.' The Prophet (pbuh) got up as soon as he heard this, but found that Sa'd was already dead. Although he had been a heavy man, the men who carried his body to the grave found it quite light. They were told that the angels were helping them. When he was buried, the Prophet (pbuh) said three times 'Subhan Allah!' (Glory be to Allah!), and 'Allahu Akbar!' (Allah is Most Great!). When asked why he did this, he replied, 'The grave was tight for this good man, until Allah eased it for him.' This is one of the rewards that Allah gives to martyrs and good Muslims.

Point #3:

(The pagans of Quraysh and Jihad against them)

From www.answering-christianity.com/jihad.htm:

What is Jihad and laws of war in Islam?

The sections of this article are:

1-  What is Jihad?
2-  The laws of war in Islam.
3-  The treatment of prisoners of war in Islam.
4-  Did Islam spread by the sword?  If so, was that Jihad?

1-  What is Jihad?

Jihad means struggling in the name of Allah Almighty.  Jihad doesn't always mean a war or battle.  Any mean for spreading Islam and the Truth, or to fight for what is right and condemn what is wrong (such as fighting the bad and helping the oppressed even if they were not Muslims) are considered Jihad.

I am doing Jihad right now by maintaining my web site, because it is a tool that can be used for spreading Islam and the Truth.  And because it is also a Media tool, it could be used for fighting for what is right and condemning what is wrong.

Islam is not a religion of arms and swords!  When Allah Almighty revealed the Noble Quran to Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, and Muhammad became the Messenger of GOD Almighty, Muhammad had to spread Islam to 365 Pagan Arab Tribes.  These tribes showed so much hostility toward the Muslims and Islam, and have imposed so many battles against the Muslims. 

Later, when Islam was the religion of what we call today Saudi Arabia, and the 365 Pagan Arab tribes mostly converted to Islam, the Muslims had to yet face another type of challenge.

The Nuclear Soviet Union and the United States of America of our days were the Great Empires of the Christian Romans and the Pagan Persians.  If you know geography and history well enough, then you would see that the Muslims were trapped between those two big Super Powers.

Hostility and Battles from those two Empires were imposed upon the Muslims.  For instance, when our Prophet peace be upon him sent his messenger to "Kisrah", the Emperor of Persia, introducing Islam to him, Kisrah ordered for the Muslims' Messenger to be executed!

Back then, like today, this was considered a coward act.  It was the Persians who showed the hostility toward the Muslims and declared the many battles against Islam.

The Christian Romans weren't any better.  For instance, in one of their many battles against the Muslims is when they saw the threat to their religion in the Middle East, the King "Herucl", sent out an army of 100,000 men and ordered them to go to "Madina" in what we call today Saudi Arabia to destroy Islam once and for all.

The Muslims were not stable yet at that time, and they only sent out an army of 3,000 men at that time to drive the Christian Romans away from Madina.  The battle was named "The battle of Mo'ta" and it took place in Mo'ta, Jordan today.

The Muslims' plan was to meet the Christian Romans far away from Madina, and to have them stray away from Madina.  The army of 3,000 men was successful enough to fight the Christian Romans for few days and then to pull away from the battle and headed South of Jordan.  The Romans strayed away from Madina and the small army of the Muslims was able to run away through the mountains.  More than half of the 3,000 Muslims however were killed in this operation.

The point is that Islam didn't spread by sword with much choice.  The wars were imposed upon the Muslims. The Muslims didn't ask for those wars. 

Islam is a Religion of Love and Peace and Forgiveness [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].

Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him never took any personal revenge from anyone.

What does the Qu'ran say about violence?  Why does the Noble Quran contain Verses that command the Muslims to fight?  See the justified and good reasons behind it.

In regards to Jihad and fighting the hostile enemy, Allah Almighty Made it crystal clear in the Noble Quran about being peaceful to ordinary and peaceful non-Muslims, and being very hostile to the hostile enemy:

"Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loveth not transgressors.  (The Noble Quran, 2:190)"

"But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things).  (The Noble Quran, 8:61)"

"If thou dost stretch thy hand against me, to slay me, it is not for me to stretch my hand against thee to slay thee: for I do fear God, the cherisher of the worlds.  (The Noble Quran, 5:28)"

"God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers.  (The Noble Quran, 60:8)"

"And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for God.  But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrongdoers.  (The Noble Quran 2:193)"

"Let there be no compulsion in religion:  Truth stands out clear from error:  whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy handhold, that never breaks.  And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.  (The Noble Quran, 2:256)"

"Again and again will those who disbelieve, wish that they had bowed (to God's will) in Islam.   Leave them alone, to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false) hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them).  (The Noble Quran, 15:2-3)"

"Say, 'The truth is from your Lord': Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it):......(The Noble Quran, 18:29)"

"If it had been thy Lord's will, they would all have believed,- all who are on earth! wilt thou then COMPEL mankind, against their will, to believe!  (The Noble Quran, 10:99)"

"Say: 'Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger: but if ye turn away, he is only responsible for the duty placed on him and ye for that placed on you.   If ye obey him, ye shall be on right guidance.  The Messenger's duty is only to preach the clear (Message).  (The Noble Quran, 24:54)"

"Say : O ye that reject Faith!  I worship not that which ye worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship.  And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship.  To you be your Way, and to me mine.  (The Noble Quran, 109:1-6)"

The reason for "Jihad" Noble Verses:

The so-called "Jihad" Noble Verses came for specific times and places.  They don't apply for all times and everybody!  I can't slay you, a non-Muslim, just because you're not a Muslim.  The pagan Arabs were very hostile people and only knew the sword as an answer.  Many wars were imposed upon the Muslims, and thus, it is only normal and natural to find Noble Verses that deal with these specific hostile situations.  But the Message of the Noble Quran is PEACE, as clearly proven in Noble Verses 2:190, 8:61 and 5:28 above.

2-  The laws of war in Islam:

Muslims are forbidden from attacking others who do not attack them:

"Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loveth not transgressors.  (The Noble Quran, 2:190)"

Fighting in the cause of GOD Almighty those who fight us is what "Jihad" is all about.  I can't go and kill a non-Muslim just because he is a non-Muslim.  That is absolutely forbidden in Islam:

"On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.  (Noble Quran 5:32)"

"Those who invoke not, with God, any other god, nor slay such life as God has made sacred except for just cause, nor commit fornication; - and any that does this (not only) meets punishment.  (But) the Penalty on the Day Of Judgement will be doubled To him, and he will dwell Therein in ignominy.  (The Noble Quran, 25:68-69)" 

Jihad can only be declared when the Muslims are attacked.   Muslims are not allowed to attach those who do not attack them.  And even when war breaks out, if the enemy offers an honest peace, then we should accept it and end the blood shed:

"But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things).  (The Noble Quran, 8:61)" 

And if a treaty of peace was made, then we must honor that treaty to the end:

"Except those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with hearts restraining them from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. If God had pleased, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you: Therefore if they withdraw from you but fight you not, and (instead) send you (Guarantees of) peace, then God Hath opened no way for you (to war against them).   (The Noble Quran, 4:90)"

"How can there be a league, before God and His Apostle, with the Pagans, except those with whom ye made a treaty near the sacred Mosque? As long as these stand true to you, stand ye true to them: for God doth love the righteous.  (The Noble Quran, 9:7)" 

3-  The treatment of prisoners of war in Islam:

Please visit Can Muslims torture prisoners of war?

4-  Did Islam spread by the sword?  If so, was that Jihad?

Please visit Why did Muhammad take up arms and Christ didn't?  Why did Islam spread by the sword if it were indeed a Religion of Truth, and Christianity didn't?  Jesus killed his enemies.

The Muslims did not start any battle with anyone.  It was the infidels from the 365 Arab Pagan tribes, and later the Persian and Roman Empires who waged wars against the Muslims.  So, yes, since the Muslims were not the aggressors, then this was Jihad; "Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loveth not transgressors.  (The Noble Quran, 2:190)"

Point #4:

(The 100 Levels of Divine Mercy of Allah Almighty in Islam)

From www.answering-christianity.com/mercy_of_allah.htm:

1-  The Mercy and Forgiveness of Allah Almighty on Mankind:

I first of all would like to start this beautiful topic about Allah Almighty's Mercy by showing this Saying from our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him:

Narrated Abu Huraira: "Allah's Apostle said, 'When Allah completed the creation, He wrote in His Book which is with Him on His Throne, 'My Mercy overpowers My Anger.' '  (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Beginning of Creation, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 416)"

There are ample Noble Verses from the Noble Quran that talk about Allah Almighty's Mercy and Forgiveness.  In fact, when I check the index in the back of the Noble Quran that I have, I find that there are tons of references of Noble Verses that talk about Allah Almighty's Mercy and Forgiveness.  Without exaggeration, just by looking at the references, I would say there are at least 100 Noble Verses.

Let us look at few of them that I selected:

Disbelievers' sins will be all forgiven for them when they embrace Islam: "Say to the Unbelievers, if (now) they desist (from unbelief), their past would be forgiven for them; but if they persist, the punishment of those before them is already (a matter of warning for them).  (The Noble Quran, 8:38)"

"The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all between,- Exalted in Might, able to enforce His Will, forgiving again and again.    (The Noble Quran, 38:66)"

If we are sincere, our daily sins are almost always forgiven:  "Those who avoid great sins and shameful deeds, only (falling into) small faults,- verily thy Lord is ample in forgiveness. He knows you well when He brings you out of the earth, And when ye are hidden in your mothers' wombs. Therefore justify not yourselves: He knows best who it is that guards against evil.  (The Noble Quran, 53:32)"

If you ask Allah Almighty for forgiveness, then He'll forgive you: "If any one does evil or wrongs his own soul but afterwards seeks God's forgiveness, he will find God Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.  (The Noble Quran, 4:110)"

If you are grateful to Allah Almighty, then He'll give you more: "And remember! your Lord caused to be declared (publicly): 'If ye are grateful, I will add more (favours) unto you; But if ye show ingratitude, truly My punishment is terrible indeed.'  (The Noble Quran, 14:7)"

Be sure that Allah Almighty is always Willing to forgive all of your sins:  "Say: 'O my Servants who Have transgressed against their souls!  Despair not of the Mercy of Allah:  for Allah forgives all sins for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.  (The Noble Quran, 39:53)"

The use of the word "Say" in this Noble Verse means that Allah Almighty wants us to always remind each others by reciting this Noble Verse to those who need it.

Allah Almighty accepts our many sins: "If God were to punish men according to what they deserve, He would not leave on the back of the (earth) a single living creature: but He gives them respite for a stated Term: when their Term expires, verily God has in His sight all His Servants.  (The Noble Quran, 35:45)"

Allah Almighty is our friend and He is close and listens:

"Your (real) friends are God, His Apostle, and the (fellowship of) believers,- those who establish regular prayers and regular charity, and they bow down humbly (in worship).  (The Noble Quran, 5:55)"

"Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to God, does good, and follows the way of Abraham the true in Faith? For God did take Abraham for a friend.  (The Noble Quran, 4:125)"

Allah Almighty is close and He listens to our prayers: "When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way.  (The Noble Quran, 2:186)"

Narrated Anas:  "The Prophet said, 'My Lord says, 'If My slave comes nearer to me for a span, I go nearer to him for a cubit; and if he comes nearer to Me for a cubit, I go nearer to him for the span of outstretched arms; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.' '  (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, ONENESS, UNIQUENESS OF ALLAH (TAWHEED), Volume 9, Book 93, Number 627)" 

If you are loved by people, then Allah Almighty loves you:

Narrated Abu Huraira: "Allah's Apostle said, 'If Allah loves a person, He calls Gabriel, saying, 'Allah loves so and so, O Gabriel love him' So Gabriel would love him and then would make an announcement in the Heavens: 'Allah has loved so and-so therefore you should love him also.' So all the dwellers of the Heavens would love him, and then he is granted the pleasure of the people on the earth.'    (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, ONENESS, UNIQUENESS OF ALLAH (TAWHEED), Volume 9, Book 93, Number 577)"

Allah Almighty gives rewards more than bad deeds at the Day of Judgement:  "If any does good, the reward to him is better than his deed; but if any does evil, the doers of evil are only punished (to the extent) of their deeds.    (The Noble Quran, 28:84)"

Allah Almighty Loves to record the good deeds only as much as possible:

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said:  "The Great and the Glorious Lord said (to angels):  Whenever My bondsman intends to corn it an evil, do not record it against him, but if he actually commits it, then write it as one evil.    And when he intends to do good but does not do it, then take it down is one act of goodness, but if he does it, then write down ten good deeds (in his record).    (Translation of Sahih Muslim, The Book of Faith (Kitab Al-Iman), Book 001, Number 0233)" 

We should always pray to Allah Almighty for forgiveness:

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr:  "Abu Bakr As-Siddiq said to the Prophet "O Allah's Apostle! Teach me an invocation with which I may invoke Allah in my prayers." The Prophet said, "Say: O Allah! I have wronged my soul very much (oppressed myself), and none forgives the sins but You; so please bestow Your Forgiveness upon me. No doubt, You are the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."  (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, ONENESS, UNIQUENESS OF ALLAH (TAWHEED), Volume 9, Book 93, Number 485)"

2-  Allah Almighty will not show mercy on those who never show mercy on others:

Let us look at what Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said:

Narrated Jarir bin 'Abdullah:  "Allah's Apostle said, 'Allah will not be merciful to those who are not merciful to mankind.'  (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, ONENESS, UNIQUENESS OF ALLAH (TAWHEED), Volume 9, Book 93, Number 473)"

The Muslim needs to always be polite, humble, patient, loving and well mannered when he/she deals with others, whether they were Muslims or non-Muslims.  Allah Almighty certainly doesn't love those who are offensive and rude to others:

"Allah forbids you not, With regard to those who Fight you not for (your) Faith Nor drive you out Of your homes, From dealing kindly and justly With them: For Allah loveth Those who are just.  (The Noble Quran, 60:8)"

3-  The 100 Levels of Allah Almighty's Mercy:

Sister Wendy, a new convert to Islam, brought to my attention the 100 levels of Allah Almighty's Mercy subject, which then prompted me to research it further.  May Allah Almighty always be pleased with her.

How can any human being that ever existed or will ever exist on earth overpower the 100 levels of Allah Almighty's Mercy, when Allah Almighty dedicated only one level of His Mercy here on earth for Mankind?  Let us look at the following Saying from Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him:

Narrated Abu Huraira: "I heard Allah's Apostle saying, Allah divided Mercy into one-hundred parts and He kept its ninety-nine parts with Him and sent down its one part on the earth, and because of that, its one single part, His creations are Merciful to each other, so that even the mare lifts up its hoofs away from its baby animal, lest it should trample on it."  (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Good Manners and Form (Al-Adab), Volume 8, Book 73, Number 29)" 

"Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Allah created one hundred (parts of mercy) and He distributed one amongst His creation and kept this one hundred excepting one with Himself (for the Day of Resurrection).  (Translation of Sahih Muslim, The Book Pertaining to Repentance and Exhortation to Repentance (Kitab Al-Tauba), Book 037, Number 6630)" 

"Salman Farisi reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Verily, there are one hundred (parts of) mercy for Allah, and it is one part of this mercy by virtue of which there is mutual love between the people and ninety-nine reserved for the Day of Resurrection.  (Translation of Sahih Muslim, The Book Pertaining to Repentance and Exhortation to Repentance (Kitab Al-Tauba), Book 037, Number 6632)"

"Salman reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Verily, Allah created, on the same very day when He created the heavens and the earth, one hundred parts of mercy. Every part of mercy is coextensive with the space between the heavens. and the earth and He out of this mercy endowed one part to the earth and it is because of this that the mother shows affection to her child and even the beasts and birds show kindness to one another and when there would be the Day of  Resurrection, Allah would make full (use of Mercy).  (Translation of Sahih Muslim, The Book Pertaining to Repentance and Exhortation to Repentance (Kitab Al-Tauba), Book 037, Number 6634)"

As we clearly see from Prophet Muhammad's Sayings above, Allah Almighty only shared one level of Mercy with us.  How can any one including Adolph Hitler, who used to bake the innocent Jews in ovens, over power Allah Almighty's 100 levels of Mercy?!  It is impossible!  I even highly doubt that Hitler over powered the one level that Allah Almighty shared with us here on earth.

So if a mad man like Hitler couldn't over power Allah Almighty's Mercy, then how is it possible for normal humans like you and me who only mind their own business and work hard to feed their family and raise their children and please Allah Almighty to over power Allah Almighty's one hundred levels of Mercy?

This should be another crystal clear proof that Allah Almighty will empty Hell from His creations and will fill it up with His Holy Foot after everyone gets purified from their sins.

 4-   There are 112 Noble Verses that contain "Most Merciful" in them in the Noble Quran!

I just used my Noble Quran's Search Engine, which is listed above in the site's logo, and typed "Most Merciful" and chose the "Exact String" option.  The result was 112 Noble Verses returned, which all refer to Allah Almighty being the "Most Merciful".  Notice that Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran is the Most Merciful and not just Merciful.  This should be another crystal clear proof that Allah Almighty's Mercy is far beyond us and our understanding, and it is certainly infinitely stronger than all of the evil humans do or cause here on earth.

Point #5:

(The Reward of the Believers in Paradise and the torture of disbelievers in Hell)

From http://www.answering-christianity.com/heaven_hell.htm:

Would you describe Heaven and Hell according to the Islamic doctrine?

The sections of this article are:

1-  Heaven in Islam.
      - Heaven is the Home of Peace.  No evil will exist in it.
      - What is the size of it?
2-  Who lives beside humans in Paradise?
      - Servants and Houris.
      - Unity with our families.
      - We will enjoy the Presence of Allah Almighty.
3-  Will time in Heaven ever end?
4-  What about women in paradise. Will they too have Companions and Servants?
5-  Hell in Islam.
      - The levels of Hell.
      - The food and drink in Hell.
6-  Hell according to Islam will eventually be empty.
7-  Heaven according to the Noble Quran and Hadiths description - by salvi@bigates.com

Well, according to Islam, both Heaven and Hell have different levels of pleasure and punishment respectively. 

1-  Heaven in Islam:

I was told by a Muslim scholar and minister at the Mosque that Allah Almighty created Heaven with 500 levels.  The highest level will have the Prophets, the Martyrs and the most righteous, loving and pious believers the world ever had.  The lowest level of paradise will be for those who barely made it to Heaven.  The portion each person will have in the lowest level will be five times bigger than the size of the planet earth.

The following Hadith (Saying of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him) further prove that Heaven has multiple levels in it:

Abdullah b. Mas'ud reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said:    "I know the last of the inhabitants of Fire to be taken out therefrom, and the last of the inhabitants of Paradise to enter it. A man will come out of the Fire crawling. Then Allah, the Blessed and Exalted will say to him: Go and enter Paradise. So he would come to it and it would appear to him as if it were full. He would go back and say: O my Lord! I found it full. Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, would say to him: Go and enter Paradise. He would come and perceive as if it were full. He would return and say: O my Lord! I found it full. Allah would say to him: Go and enter Paradise, for there is for you the like of the world and ten times like it, or for you is ten times the like of this world. He (the narrator) said. He (that man) would say: Art Thou making a fun of me? or Art Thou laughing at me. though Thou art the King? He (the narrator) said: I saw the Messenger of Allah laugh till his front teeth were visible. And it was said: That would be the lowest rank among the inhabitants of Paradise.  (Translation of Sahih Muslim, The Book of Faith (Kitab Al-Iman), Book 001, Number 0359)"

All people from the highest to the lowest levels will be able to communicate with each others.  However, no one will be able to live or enjoy the pleasure of the higher levels than what he already has.  He can go to the lower levels, but he can't go to the higher ones:

"They will recline (with ease) On Thrones (of dignity) Arranged in ranks; And We shall join them To Companions, with beautiful Big and lustrous eyes.  And those who believe And whose families follow Them in Faith -- to them Shall We join their families:  Nor shall We deprive them (Of the fruit) of aught Of their works:  (Yet) is each individual In pledge for his deeds.    (The Noble Quran, 52:20-21)"

Even though the winners of Paradise will be "arranged in ranks", as I mentioned above with the 500 different levels of Paradise, but they will still be joined with their families and loved ones from the Companions.

So, let's say we have a mother and a son.  The mother was admitted to level 256, and the son was admitted to level 310.  Both the mother and the son can still see each others, but she won't be able to enjoy the things her son is enjoying, nor will he be able to share them with her.

It is similar to us here on earth, where if we have two friends, one is a multi millionaire and the other is a poor fellow.  Both men can still be friends and go out together, but the millionaire guy most probably eats better food, drives a better car, lives in a much fancier and bigger house, lives in a much better and more expensive and fancier neighborhood, wears better and more expensive cloths, wears better smelling perfumes, vacations to better and more fun places and expensive places, etc.... 

No dung, piss, bad body odor, bad breath, or bad sweat smell will exist in Heaven.    The food and the drinks that we consume into our bodies will turn into great smelling musk.  The higher the person's level in Paradise the better his smell will be.

Also in Paradise, all people will be pure in the heart.  No jealousy or bad feelings will exist.  Allah Almighty will cause everyone to be happy for what he/she has. 

Heaven is the Home of Peace.  No evil will exist in it:

As Allah Almighty said in the Noble Quran, Heaven will be the Home of Peace.  Not even an atom of evil of any kind will exist in it:

"For them will be a Home Of Peace in the presence Of their Lord: He will be Their Friend, because They practised (righteousness).  (The Noble Quran, 6:127)"

"But Allah doth call To the Home of Peace: He doth guide whom He pleaseth to a Way that is straight.  (The Noble Quran, 10:25)"

"And We shall remove from their hearts any lurking sense of injury;- beneath them will be rivers flowing;- and they shall say: 'Praise be to God, who hath guided us to this (felicity): never could we have found guidance, had it not been for the guidance of God: indeed it was the truth, that the apostles of our Lord brought unto us.' And they shall hear the cry: 'Behold! the garden before you! Ye have been made its inheritors, for your deeds (of righteousness).'  (The Noble Quran, 7:43)"

"And they will say: 'Praise be to Allah, Who has removed from us (All) sorrow: for our Lord Is indeed Oft-Forgiving Ready to appreciate (service).  (The Noble Quran, 35:34)"

"Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those Who claim sanctity For themselves? Nay -- but Allah Doth sanctify Whom He pleaseth, But never will they Fail to receive justice In the least little thing.  (The Noble Quran, 4:49)"

"O ye who believe! Follow not Satan's footsteps: If any will follow the footsteps Of Satan, he will (but) command What is shameful and wrong: And were it not for the grace And mercy of Allah on you, Not one of you would ever Have been pure: but Allah Doth purify whom He pleases: And Allah is One Who Hears and knows (all things).  (The Noble Quran, 24:21)"

According to the Noble Verses above, Heaven is the Home of Peace where the winners of Paradise will live in peace and harmony with each others and with Allah Almighty.  He will remove all evil from their hearts and purify them.

What is the size of it?

Even though Allah Almighty never gave the exact area of it, but He did give us valuable information about it's size:

"Be ye foremost (in seeking) Forgiveness from your Lord, And a Garden (of Bliss), The width whereof is As the width of Heaven and earth, Prepared for those who believe In Allah and His messengers:  That is the Grace of Allah, Which He bestows on whom He pleases: and Allah is The Lord of Grace abounding.    (The Noble Quran, 57:21)"

"Be quick in the race For forgiveness from your Lord, And for a Garden whose width Is that (of the whole) Of the heavens And the earth, Prepared for the righteous.  (The Noble Quran, 3:133)"

In Arabic the plural and singular of the word "heaven" can be the same depending on the use of the word in the sentence.  In Noble Verse 57:21, Allah Almighty used the word "heaven" for the Universe, and in Noble Verse 3:133, He used the word "heavens".

Allah Almighty mentioned that He created seven heavens to form the universe.  We are living in the lowest heaven, or heaven number 1.  If the width of Paradise is as equal as the width of the universe starting from the earth and ending in the seventh heaven, then this should give us a very clear picture that the size of Heaven is unbelievably huge!

2-  Who lives beside humans in Paradise?

Angels, Jinns and Humans and the Servants and Houris of Paradise will live there.    All inhabitants of Heaven will be able to communicate with each others, whether they are Jinns with Humans or Humans with Angels or Jinns with Angels.  But since each one of them is created differently from the others, their will be limitations to some of the communication there such as marriage and sex.  Humans for instance can't marry or have sex with the Angels or the Jinns, and vise versa to the rest.

Anyway, each human person in Paradise will have his own world.  In his world he will have lofty mansions, beautiful nature, great food; plenty of tasty meat, fruits, vegetables, rivers of honey and milk, and other great gifts of anything he desires from Allah Almighty:

"But it is for those Who fear their Lord, That lofty mansions, One above another, Have been built: Beneath them flow Rivers (of delight): (such is) The promise of Allah: Never doth Allah fail in (His) promise.  (The Noble Quran, 39:20)"

"But those who believe And work deeds of righteousness -- To them shall We give A Home in Heaven -- Lofty mansions beneath which Flow rivers -- to dwell therein For aye -- an excellent reward For those who do (good)! -- Those who preserve in patience, And put their trust In their Lord and Cherisher.  (The Noble Quran, 29:58-59)"

"And We shall bestow On them, of fruit and meat, Anything they shall desire.  (The Noble Quran, 52:22)"

"(To them will be said:) 'Eat and drink ye, With profit and health, Because of your (good) deeds.  (The Noble Quran, 52:19)"

"Therein will they Recline (at ease):  Therein can they Call (at pleasure) For fruit in abundance, And (delicious) drink;  (The Noble Quran, 38:51)"

"(Here is) a Parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised: in it are rivers of water incorruptible; rivers of milk of which the taste never changes; rivers of wine, a joy to those who drink; and rivers of honey pure and clear. In it there are for them all kinds of fruits; and Grace from their Lord. (Can those in such Bliss) be compared to such as shall dwell for ever in the Fire, and be  given, to drink, boiling water, so that it cuts up their bowels (to pieces)?    (The Noble Quran, 47:15)"

Servants and Houris:

Every winner of Paradise's world will also be filled with Servants and virgin Houris.    All winners of Paradise will enjoy the service of the young Servants and virgin Houris:

"Round about them will (serve) Youths of perpetual (freshness), With goblets, (shinning) beakers, And cups (filled) out of Clear-flowing fountains:  No after-ache will they Receive therefrom, nor will they Suffer intoxication.  (The Noble Quran, 56:17-19)"

"Round about them will serve, (Devoted) to them, Youths (handsome) as Pearls Well-guarded.  They will advance To each other, engaging In mutual enquiry.  (The Noble Quran, 52:24-25)"

"And round about them Will (serve) youths Of perpetual (freshness): If thou seest them, Thou wouldst think them Scattered Pearls.  (The Noble Quran, 76:19)"

"We have created (their Companions) Of special creation, And made them Virgin-pure (and undefiled) -- Beloved (by nature) Equal in age -- For the Companions Of the Right Hand.  (The Noble Quran, 56:35-38)"

"And besides them will be Chaste women; restraining Their glances, with big eyes (Of wonder and beauty).  As if they were (Delicate) eggs closely guarded.  (The Noble Quran, 37:48-49)"

"And beside them will be Chaste women restraining Their glances, (companions) Of equal age.  Such is the Promise Made to you For the Day of Account!  Truly such will be Our Bounty (to you) It will never fail.  (The Noble Quran, 38:52-54)"

"As to the Righteous (They will be) in A position of Security.  Among Gardens and Springs; Dressed in fine silk And in rich brocade, They will face each other; Moreover, We shall Join them to Companions With beautiful, big, And lustrous eyes.  There can they call For every kind of fruit In peace and security.  Nor will they there Taste Death, except the first Death; and He will preserve Them from the Penalty Of the Blazing Fire.  (The Noble Quran, 44:51-56)"

"They will recline (with ease) On Thrones (of dignity) Arranged in ranks; And We shall join them To Companions, with beautiful Big and lustrous eyes.  And those who believe And whose families follow Them in Faith -- to them Shall We join their families:  Nor shall We deprive them (Of the fruit) of aught Of their works:  (Yet) is each individual In pledge for his deeds.    (The Noble Quran, 52:20-21)"

"In them will be (Maidens), Chaste, restraining their glances, Whom no man or Jinn Before them has touched.  (The Noble Quran, 55:56)"

"In them will be Fair (Companions), good, beautiful.  (The Noble Quran, 55:70)"

"Companions restrained (as to Their glances), in (goodly) pavilions.  (The Noble Quran, 55:72)"

"And (there will be) Companions With beautiful, big, And lustrous eyes -- Like unto Pearls Well-guarded.  A Reward for the Deeds Of their past (Life).  (The Noble Quran, 56:22-24)"

"Gardens enclosed, and Grapevines; Companions of Equal Age; And a Cup full (To the Brim).  (The Noble Quran, 78:32-34)"

Unity with our families:

Even though each person will be rewarded a certain level in Paradise, but as I said everyone will be able to communicate with the others.  The People of Paradise will be like one big loving family, with different goods for each person.  Allah Almighty promised the Believers that they will be reunited with their believing families in Paradise:

"They will recline (with ease) On Thrones (of dignity) Arranged in ranks; And We shall join them To Companions, with beautiful Big and lustrous eyes.  And those who believe And whose families follow Them in Faith -- to them Shall We join their families:  Nor shall We deprive them (Of the fruit) of aught Of their works:  (Yet) is each individual In pledge for his deeds.    (The Noble Quran, 52:20-21)"

Narrated Anas:  "A man asked the Prophet about the Hour (i.e. Day of Judgment) saying, "When will the Hour be?" The Prophet said, "What have you prepared for it?" The man said, "Nothing, except that I love Allah and His Apostle." The Prophet said, "You will be with those whom you love." We had never been so glad as we were on hearing that saying of the Prophet (i.e., "You will be with those whom you love.") Therefore, I love the Prophet, Abu Bakr and 'Umar, and I hope that I will be with them because of my love for them though my deeds are not similar to theirs.  (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Companions of the Prophet, Volume 5, Book 57, Number 37)"

Even though the winners of Paradise will be "arranged in ranks", as I mentioned above with the 500 different levels of Paradise, but they will still be joined with their families and loved ones from the Companions as clearly shown in Noble Verses 52:20-21 and the Hadith (Saying) of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.

We will enjoy the Presence of Allah Almighty:

The greatest things that will happen to us in Heaven is that Allah Almighty will be present there.  We will be able to directly communicate with Him, and He will be our friend, and we will be able to live near Him:

"For them will be a Home Of Peace in the presence Of their Lord: He will be Their Friend, because They practised (righteousness).  (The Noble Quran, 6:127)"

"There will be for them Therein all that they wish -- And more besides In Our Presence.  (The Noble Quran, 50:35)"

"And Allah sets forth, As an example To those who believe, The wife of Pharaoh: Behold she said: 'O my Lord! build For me, in nearness To Thee, a mansion In the Garden, And save me from Pharaoh And his doings, And save me from Those that do wrong'  (The Noble Quran, 66:11)"

"Verily, for the Righteous, Are Gardens of Delight, In the Presence of their Lord.  (The Noble Quran, 68:34)"

3-  Will time in Heaven ever end?

The following information was taken from the "What does "forever" really mean?" section in the Hell according to Islam will eventually be empty article:

"Those who are wretched shall be in the Fire:  There will be for them therein (nothing but) the heaving of sighs and sobs:  They will dwell therein for all the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as thy Lord willeth:  for thy Lord is the (sure) accomplisher of what He planneth. And those who are blessed shall be in the Garden:  They will dwell therein for all the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as thy Lord willeth:  a gift without break.  (The Noble Quran, 11:106-108)"

Notice in these Noble Verses that the time limit that Allah Almighty had set for Paradise is endless and is a "gift without break", while the time for Hell is limited to "the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as thy Lord willeth".   It is clear that the time in Hell in the Noble Quran is limited and the time in Paradise never ending.

Notice the assurance of Allah Almighty about the time of Paradise being infinite, while He didn't make the same claim about the time of Hell.  In fact, He left the time of Hell open and unclear, which clearly proves that Hell will eventually be empty according to Islam, or to say the least, it will not be infinite in time as Paradise.

4-  What about women in paradise. Will they too have Companions and Servants?

I wrote a detailed article before that covered the topic and gifts for women in Paradise:

Does Paradise in Islam really have Lesbianism in it?

5-  Hell in Islam:

Hell according to Islam is a purifying place that Allah Almighty will use for punishing those whom He Wills for their sins, and to purify all of those who are badly corrupted by Satan's dirt from temptations and evil intentions toward others such as envy, insolence, and other evil things.

All of those who will enter Paradise shall be purified.  Please read the "Heaven is the Home of Peace.  No evil will exist in it" sub section above for more details.

Also please visit Where do Martyrs go after death?   And will they be judged for their good and bad deeds?

After death, what would prevent a Muslim from entering Heaven?  Also, how long will the Disbelievers stay in Hell?

How does a Muslim get to Heaven, saved, reach a state of perfect harmony with God?

I liked your concept of God in Islam and that man can directly have fellowship with God.  But how does God stand the sin in man ? How does God see the sin between man and man?

The levels of Hell:

It appears from the Noble Quran that Hell will have 7 levels with 19 Guards:

"And verily, Hell Is the promised abode For them all!  To it are seven Gates: For each of those Gates Is a (special) class (Of sinners) assigned.  (The Noble Quran, 15:43-44)"

"Over it are Nineteen (i.e., guards).   And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers,- in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith,- and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, 'What symbol doth God intend by this?'   Thus doth God leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than a warning to mankind.   (The Noble Quran, 74:30-31)"

Please visit Yes, the number 19 is miraculous in the Noble Quran and was proven to be essential in many of the Scientific Theories and Discoveries.

There are certainly levels of punishment in Hell.  The hypocrites will be in the most painful one:

"The Hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire: no helper wilt thou find for them;  (The Noble Quran, 4:145)"

Please visit Muslims be careful from the Muslim hypocrites.

The food and drink in Hell:

Let us look at what Allah Almighty said in the Noble Quran:

"Is that the better entertainment Or the Tree of Zaqqum?    For We have truly Made it (as) a trial For the wrongdoers.  For it is a tree That springs out Of the bottom of Hellfire:  That shoots of its fruit-stalks Are like the heads Of devils:  Truly they will eat thereof And fill their bellies therewith.  Then on top of that They will be given A mixture made of Boiling water.  Then shall their return Be to the (Blazing) Fire.  (The Noble Quran, 37:62-68)"

The Noble Verses are pretty much self explanatory.  Life in Hell is really Hell!    The food the that will be offered is from the Tree of Zaqqum, which fruits-stalks look like heads of devils, and the drinking water will be a boiling water.

6-  Hell according to Islam will eventually be empty:

I've written a long article about this, backed with so many Noble Verses from the Noble Quran that clearly and directly and unquestionably prove that Hell will be empty.

Please visit Hell according to Islam will eventually be empty.

7-  Heaven according to the Noble Quran and Hadiths description:

The following article was sent to me by brother/sister salvi@bigates.com; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him/her.

Paradise: Description in the Qur'an

Our final destination is the life of the Hereafter.  Where we end up, Jannah (Paradise) or Jahannam (Hell-fire) depends on what we worked towards in this life.    Paradise is the aim and the hope of every Muslim.  But like trying to attain any goal, in order to achieve success, one must have a well-defined plan, and it must be implemented to be successful.  Allah says, "O you who believe! Be careful of (your duty to) Allah and seek means of nearness to Him and strive hard in His way that you may be successful." [5:35]    To prepare for our journey, we need to find out what our destination is like; who are its people, and most importantly, how to get there.

The Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, told us that within Paradise are things that no eyes have ever seen, nor ears have ever heard, and that things in it are beyond our imagination and comprehension, but we all have our own personal ideas of what eternal bliss would probably be like.  I remember a few years ago, I overheard my niece and my nephew discussing the landscape, and the privileges of living in Jannah. My nephew was telling my niece that in Jannah, they would be able to eat all the candy that they wanted and that there would be streams of chocolate and trees of ice cream.  I always tell people, that Paradise for me, would be being able to eat all the cheesecake and chocolate that I wanted, without gaining a pound.  But what Allah has in store for the believers is so much more than this.  He, in His Book, and through His Messenger, sallallahu alayhe  wasallam, has given us a clear picture of our goal, so that we can keep it in front of us at all times.  By keeping our eyes on theprize, no matter our hardships in this worldly life, we can strive that much harder to attain it.

Allah says, "And whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it as he ought to strive and he is a believer; (as for) these, their striving shall surely be accepted." [17:19]  Allah has also described Paradise in many places in the Qur'an, so let us now take a look at what He has in store for the believers.

Description in the Qur'an of Paradise

“The description of Paradise which the Muttaqoon have been promised is that in it are rivers of water, the taste and smell of which are never changed. Rivers of milk the taste of which will remain unchanged. Rivers of wine that will be delicious to those who drink from it and rivers of clear, pure honey. For them will be every kind of fruit and forgiveness form their Lord." [47:15] 

"And their recompense shall be Paradise, and silken garments, because they were patient. Reclining on raised thrones, they will see there neither the excessive heat of the sun, nor the excessive bitter cold, (as in Paradise there is no sun and no moon). The shade will be close upon them, and bunches of fruit will hang low within their reach. Vessels of silver and cups of crystal will be passed around amongst them, crystal-clear, made of silver. They will determine the measure of them according to their wishes. They will be given a cup (of wine) mixed with Zanjabeel, and a fountain called Salsabeel. Around them will (serve) boys of perpetual youth. If you see them, you would think they are scattered pearls. When you look there (in Paradise) you will see a delight (that can not be imagined), and a Great Dominion. Their garments will be of fine green silk and gold embroidery. They will be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them a pure drink." [76:12-21]

"And those foremost (In Tawheed and obedience to Allah and His Messenger in this life) will be foremost (in Paradise). They will be those nearest to Allah in the Gardens of Delight. A multitude of those (the foremost) will be from the first generation (who embraced Islam) and a few of those (the foremost) will be from the later (generations). They will be reclining, face to face, on thrones woven with gold and precious stones. They will be served by immortal boys, with cups and jugs, and a glass from the flowing wine, from which they will have neither any headache, nor any intoxication. They will have fruit from which they may choose, and the flesh of fowls that they desire. There will be Houris with wide, lovely eyes (as wives for the pious), like preserved pearls, a reward for deeds that they used to do. They will hear no vain or sinful speech (like backbiting, etc.) but only the saying of: Salam, Salam, (greetings of peace). And those on the Right Hand, who will be those on the Right Hand? They will be among thorn-less lote-trees among Talh (banana trees) with fruits piled one above another, in long-extended shade, by constantly flowing water, and fruit in plenty, whose season is not limited, and their supply will not be cut off. They will be on couches or thrones raised high. Verily, We have created for them (maidens) of equal age, loving (their husbands only). For those on the Right Hand." [56:10-38]

"Verily, the dwellers of Paradise that Day, will be busy in joyful things. They and their wives will be in pleasant shade, reclining on thrones. They will have therein fruits (of all kinds), and all that they will ask for. (It will be said to them): "Salamun" (Peace be on you), a Word from the Lord, Most Merciful." [36:55-58] 

Can you imagine?  Wearing the finest silk clothing and sitting on chairs made of gold and precious stones?  Those who disbelieve in the words of Allah, say that this is all a fairy-tale, made up by a would-be prophet.  But we know, that Allah is the Truthful and that His Messenger, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, spoke only what was revealed to from the Most Truthful.  And even though Allah describes Paradise for us in the Qur'an, He still says, "So no soul knows the delights of the eyes which is hidden for them; a reward for what they did." [32:17]

Apart from the Qur'anic descriptions of Paradise, the Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, would often describe Paradise to his companions.  His descriptions were oftentimes so vivid and moving, that many-a-companion would hurriedly rush towards it.  This was the case, as Anas narrated that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, and his companions proceeded towards Badr and arrived there before the disbelievers (of Makkah).  When the disbelievers arrived, the Messenger of Allah said, "None of you should step forward ahead of me to do anything."  Then the disbelievers advanced (towards us), and the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu alayhi wasallam, said, "Rise to enter Paradise whose width is equal to the Heavens and the Earth." Umayr Ibnul Humam al-Ansari asked, "O Messenger of Allah, is Paradise equal in width to the heavens and the earth?" He, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, said, "Yes." Umayr said, "Bak'hin! Bak'hin!" (An Arabic word denoting excitement and astonishment) The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, asked him, "What made you say these words: Bak'hin, Bak'hin?" He said, "Messenger of Allah, nothing but the desire to be amongst its residents." He, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, said, "You are surely among its residents." He then took some dates form his bag and began to eat them. Then he said, "If I were to live until I had eaten all of the dates, indeed this life would be too long." Anas then said, "He threw away the remaining dates he had with him. He then fought (the disbelievers) until he was killed." (Muslim)

What words could have inspired Umair and others like him to long for, and to pay the ultimate price for a place in Paradise?  Let's now take a look at what the Messenger of Allah, had to say about Paradise.

Paradise: Description in the Hadith

Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri narrated that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, said, "The people of Paradise will look at the dwellers of lofty mansions (i.e. a superior place in Paradise) in the same way as one looks at a brilliant star, far away in the East or in the West of the horizon. This is because of their superiority over one another (in reward)." One of the people asked, "O Allah's Messenger, are these lofty mansions for the Prophets which no one else can reach?" The Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, replied, "No! By Allah, in whose Hands is my life, these are for men who believe in Allah and also believe in    the Messenger." (Bukhari and Muslim)

Abu Mousa al-Ash'ari narrated that the Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, said, "Verily, for the believers in Paradise, are tents made of a single hollow pear. The length of which would be sixty miles long from all sides, their wives being therein. The believer will go around them (i.e., visit them) and they will not be able to see each other." (Sahih al-Jami)

Abu Hurairah said that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, said, "There is not a tree in Paradise, except that its trunk is made of gold." (Sahih al-Jami)

Anas ibn Malik narrated that the Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, said, "Verily in Paradise there is a market in which (the inhabitants of Paradise) will come to every Friday. The North wind will blow and scatter fragrances on their faces and on their clothes. This will add to their beauty and their attractiveness. They will then go back to their families after having an added luster to their beauty and their attractiveness. Their families will say to them, 'By Allah you have been increased in beauty and loveliness after leaving us,' and they will say, 'By Allah you too have increased in beauty and attractiveness after us.'" (Muslim)

Jabir ibn Abdullah narrated that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, said, "(I saw in a dream that) I entered Paradise, and behold, there was a palace built of gold. I asked, 'Whose is this palace?' They (the angels) replied, 'For a man from the Quraysh.' So I thought it might be I, so I asked, 'And who is he?' They said, 'Umar Ibnul Khattab.' Nothing stopped me form entering it except your Ghirah (sense of honor)." Umar said, "My Ghirah would never be offended by you, O Messenger of Allah." (Bukhari and Muslim)

Anas ibn Malik said that Allah's Apostle sallallahu alayhe wasallam, said, "I entered Paradise and found myself by a river, by its edges were tents of pearls. Then I tapped with my hands where the water was running, and there was then a beautiful smell of Musk. I asked, 'What is this O Gabriel?' He said, 'This is Kawthar (river in Paradise) which Allah has given to you.'" (Sahih al-Jami)

 Allah, Islam, Quran, Muhammad questions and answers.

What is the place of Jews, Christians and non-Muslims in Islam.

Ask me any question.

Hell according to Islam will eventually be empty.

Paradise: Who are the People of Paradise? And who are the "Muminoon (Believers)" in Islam?

    I feel compelled to issue a warning: Islamic material will put you to sleep. It is poorly written, disorganized, and directionless. Do not attempt to operate your life while under its influence as serious injury or death may result.
    The following pages are an exposé on early Qur’an surahs. Much of the material is incoherent. Devoid of context and chronology, these surahs are odious and repetitive rants. Yet their muddled message is the essence of Islamic religiosity, so I feel compelled to review them with you.
    Maududi wants us to believe that the opposite is true. He claims that the religion of Islam, as presented in the Qur’an, is brilliantly comprised of three fundamental doctrines: “Tauhid (the oneness of Allah) [whom we have yet to meet], the apostleship of Muhammad [whose apostleship is covered in the Sunnah, not the Qur’an], and the belief that the dead are raised bodily [not spiritually]. The 112th surah, “Pure Faith,” teaches Tauhid, pure and undefiled.     Therefore, the Prophet regarded this one surah as equal to one-third of the Qur’an.” 112.001 “Say: He is God, (the) One; the Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need; He has begotten no one, nor is He begotten; and there is no one comparable to Him.” Thank God for small favors. Two gods like this “One” would be two too many. But Muhammad’s suggestion that this one-sentence surah was equal to one-third of the Qur’an, is too delicious for words. If only…
    The Qur’an’s final two surahs reinforce what we already know. And with their inclusion, we will have analyzed every surah from the 67th through the 114th, most of them in their entirety. This is the ultimate confession: 113.001 “Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn from the mischief of the evil He created.” Islam’s dark spirit—the Morning Star, the Prince of Darkness—created the mischief of evil. By admitting it this blatantly, Lucifer has insulted our intelligence and declared that he inspired Muhammad.  113.003 “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.” I was taught that it’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt. Muhammad is indicting his own behavior. He did the very things he claimed were demonic.
    As proof that Muhammad was guilty of “the mischievous evil of darkness,” and that he practiced “the evil of malignant witchcraft and blowing,” I present these confessions: 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.” If those who “practice the evil of malignant witchcraft and blowing” are demonic, Muhammad has introduced us to his revealing spirit.
    This next Hadith is especially incriminating as it is entirely Satanic. Its author is Aisha, Muhammad’s favorite wife. Bukhari:V4B54N490-V7B71N658 “Magic was worked on the Prophet so that he began to believe he was doing a thing which he was not actually doing. [In other words, an evil spell caused him to hallucinate and lie. Such is the nature of a man possessed by demons.] One day he said, ‘I feel that Allah [Satan] has inspired me as how to cure myself. Two persons [demons] came to me in my dream. One of them asked the other, “What is the ailment of this man?” “He has been bewitched. He is under the spell of magic.” “Who cast the magic spell?” “A Jew.” “What material did he use?” “A comb, the hair knotted on it, and the outer skin of the pollen of the male date-palm.” “Where did it come from?” “It is in the well of Dharwan.”’ So, the Prophet went to the well. Upon his return, he said, ‘The date-palms are like the heads of devils.’ I asked, ‘Did you blow out those things with which the magic was worked?’ He said, ‘No, for I have been cured by Allah and I am afraid that this action may spread evil amongst the people.’” Denial, hallucinations, paranoia, and deceit are all part of the demonic recipe. Muhammad didn’t want the story out because it was so incriminating. He became what he condemned—and he knew it.
    The 114th surah is last only because it is brief. Muslims admit that the Qur’an is out of order, assembled longest to shortest surah, but they make no attempt to reorder it chronologically or even to illuminate it by attaching it to the context of Muhammad’s life. The reasons are clear. Out of order and devoid of context it is confusing. In order and in context it is devastating.
    114.001 “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.” In all but two of my translations of the “Man” surah, “Ilah” for “God” was replaced by “god” with lowercase “g.” Since Muhammad and his fellow Muslims capitalize words for no apparent reason, not capitalizing God is significant. And since the position and political titles of Lord and King were capitalized, not elevating god could have been Muhammad’s way of letting us know who begat whom.
    Even the Devil earned a trio of capitalizations. 114.004 “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.” Wouldn’t you know it, the Qur’an ends as it began—with an evil spirit. Satan is sneaking around, whispering evil to jinn and men. How appropriate.
    Unfortunately, the end of the Qur’an doesn’t mean the end of Islam. Muhammad was on a mission—one that hadn’t gone very well. The Hanif well had run dry and the Meccans remained unconvinced. So the wannabe prophet decided to change his qiblah, his god, and his inspiration. With the next thirty-nine surahs we enter the second Meccan period. The Jews were gradually replacing the Quraysh on the Qur’an’s center stage just as their Bible began to dominate Islamic scripture. As we shall discover, this was a very unpleasant time for Muhammad.
    In our quest to understand fundamental Islam, let’s dive into the 56th surah, named “The Inevitable.” It is revealing in that it establishes heaven and hell in Muhammad’s image. It is incriminating in that there is no chance these lurid depictions are divine.
    Like so much of the Qur’an, “The Inevitable” is style devoid of substance. It has become Muhammad’s style to profess an intimate knowledge of heaven and hell, regaling us with vivid teases and torments. They have become the carrot and whip of his self-indulgent rise to power. But the Islamic path remains unlit. While the prophet’s fiery hell and lustful heaven have been detailed to distraction, we have precious little doctrine upon which to navigate his new creed. “Surrender or die” is clear enough, but it’s clearly not enough to call Muhammad’s creation a religion.
    Islam’s oracle opens the surah as the Prophet of Doom. 056.001 “When the inevitable Event befalls abasing, there will be no denying.” The Meccans ridiculed most everything Muhammad said, so the wannabe prophet retreated into his imaginary realm, a place he created, a place no one could deny. 056.003 “Bringing low. Exalting. The earth shall be shaken with a terrible shaking, and the mountains shall be made to crumble with crumbling, so that they become powdered dust, floating particles.” According to the “prophet” the shaking and crumbling was to occur in the year 1110 A.D., half an Islamic day, or 500 normal years, from his coronation as Allah’s last messenger. Since the calamitous event known as the Day of Doom was Muhammad’s most important and oft repeated prophecy, and since it remains unfulfilled 900 years hence, might we be entitled to question his prophetic credentials?
    056.007 “And you shall be three groups. So those on the Right Hand; What will be the Companions of the Right Hand? And the Companions of the Left Hand, What will be the Companions of the Left Hand? And those Foremost will be Foremost. These are they who are nearest. Drawn nigh in Gardens of Delight.” These questions remain unanswered throughout this “divine revelation.” If they were important enough for god to ask, you’d think they would merit an answer. For if we became Lefties simply because Allah’s fickle hand of fate rubbed Adam’s back the wrong way, predestining us to hell, then let’s bury this religion and free everyone from its impoverished legacy. If a little heavenly petting is the foundation of Islam—let’s wave goodbye and rid the world of the terror it inspires.
    056.013 “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.” Allah’s brothel: the best little whorehouse in Mecca.
    Let’s check out Muhammad’s Hadiths on the subject. First, we learn that heaven’s rewards will send you to hell. 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.’”
    Returning to the Qur’an’s depiction of paradise: 056.025 “There hear they no vain speaking nor backbiting, only saying the word, ‘Peace! Peace.’” Only saying one word is going to make the Islamic paradise a very boring place. No wonder Allah is providing such a rich menu of entertainment options.
    “The Companions of the Right Hand, what will be the Companions of the Right Hand?” Here we go again. The question is asked but not answered. The surah tells us the fate of the Righties without a hint as to who they are or what they did to gain entrance into Allah’s brothel. “Among thorn-less lote trees. And among Talh (banana-trees) with flowers piled high, in shade long-extended, by water flowing constantly, and fruit in abundance, whose season is not limited, nor forbidden.” The Islamic paradise continues to reflect the parochial view of an abandoned orphan boy struggling to survive the rigors of an unrelenting desert. It’s comprised of fruits, fowl, shade, flowing water, comfy seating, attentive servants, Viagra-like wine, and lusty virgins. It’s a place to die for. But, fair warning, I wouldn’t trust a god whose reward in paradise—drinking and fornication—is what he forbids on earth.
    056.034 “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.” Muhammad is telling his young recruits that their virgins will regain their virginity after each conquest—“they grow a new growth.” He is also telling them that the Islamic paradise is for men only. Their lovers are a “special creation”—not women of this world. And to satisfy their most lustful cravings—their sex partners are plentiful, as in more than one. Their “incomparable maidens, special companions, virgins, and lovers” are always plural—Islam’s ménage a trois.
    And while Allah dispenses with how the Right-Handers managed to score their decadent reward, he tells us from whence they came. 056.039 “A numerous company from among the first, And a (goodly) number from those of later times.”
    But enough of this frivolity, it’s time to roast some infidels. 056.041 “The Companions of the Left Hand, what will be the Companions of the Left Hand? (They will be) in the midst of a Fierce Blast of Hot Wind and in Boiling Water, and a shadow of black smoke, neither cool nor pleasant. For that they were wont to be indulged, heretofore they were effete with luxury, and persisted obstinately in the great violation.” The great Lefty violation was the abandonment of an orphan boy, depriving him of a share of the family business, and then rejecting his prophetic claims.
    056.047 “And they used to say, ‘What! when we die and become dust and bones, shall we then be resurrected? And also our forefathers?’ Say: ‘Yea, those of old and those of later times, All will be gathered together for the tryst, a meeting appointed for a Day well-known.’” This is Muhammad’s Day of Doom in which men are exhumed from the grave, their bones and flesh reassembled, so that some can burn in lust while others burn in hell. It’s flesh that is gratified and roasted—not spirit.
    056.051 “Then, moreover, verily you the erring ones, the deniers, you will surely taste the Tree of Zaqqoom and fill (your) bellies with it. And drink Boiling Water on top of it. Indeed you shall drink like diseased camels raging with thirst! Such will be their entertainment, their welcome on the Day of Doom.” If nothing else, you have to give Muhammad credit for originality. It’s hard to imagine a god this entertaining, albeit in a demented way.
    056.057 “It is We Who have created you: admit the truth and then surrender.” That’s Islam in a nutshell. Admit Muhammad is a prophet and then acquiesce to his will or you will eat thorns and drink scalding water. “Then tell Me the semen that you emit, throwing out. Is it you who create it, or are We the Creators? [It’s only natural—the god of lust is the god of semen.] We have decreed/predestined/ordained Death for you all, and We are not to be frustrated from replacing you with others in (forms) that you know not.” Muhammad and Allah shared many things in common, including the thought that men were replaceable. They used fiery threats and lustful taunts to seduce an unending supply of martyrs to fight and die for the things they coveted. Islam wasn’t invented to save men but to abuse them.
    056.068 “Have you observed the water which you drink? Do you shed it from the clouds or are We the Shedder? If We pleased, We could have made it salty and bitter; why do you not give thanks?” The Shedder thing was scientifically inaccurate and hardly a proof, so would you believe… “Have you observed the fire which you kindle? Is it you that produce the trees for it, or are We the producers?” Now you know why Yahweh chose to use miracles and prophecies to prove the Bible’s divine inspiration. Unable to do either, Allah stammered.
    056.073 “We, even We, have made it [wood] a memorial (of the Hell Fire), and an article of comfort and convenience for the denizens of deserts [where there are fewer trees than anywhere else]. Therefore celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous!” There are more… 056.075 “Furthermore I call to witness the falling Stars, and that is indeed a mighty adjuration, a tremendous oath, if only you knew, that this is indeed a noble recitation (of the Qur’an).” Among the long line of unintelligible segues, this is a standout. We transitioned from calling incinerating space pebbles mighty witnesses to the Qur’an being noble. “In a Book kept hidden that is protected which none shall touch but those who are clean, the purified ones.” Time out. A revelation by definition can’t be hidden. Since this revelation, the Qur’an, is the foundation of Islam—how did they manage to foul it up? “A Revelation from the Lord of men and jinn. Is it such a talk that you would hold in light esteem, a statement to scorn? Do you then hold this announcement in contempt?” In a word, yes. As did the Meccans who knew it and Muhammad best.
    The next ten verses are so muddled, the message is undecipherable even with the Arabic translators adding forty-seven words to help their god out. 056.082 “And instead (of thanking) for the provision He gives you, you deny (Him by disbelief). To give (it) the lie you make your means of subsistence. Then why do you not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat, And you the while (sit) looking on, But We (Our angels who take souls) are nearer unto him than you, but you see not. Then why do you not, if you are exempt from (future) account (punishment), and not in bondage (unto Us), Do you not force it (the soul) back (into its body), if you are true (in the claim of independence)? Thus, then, if he (the dying person) is of those drawn nigh, (There is for him) breath of life and plenty, and a Garden of Delights. And if he is of those on the Right Hand, Then (the greeting) ‘Safety and peace’ (from the punishment of Allah).” If this is divinely inspired scripture, I’m William Shakespeare.
    In the final verses of the 56th surah, Muhammad’s dark spirit returns to his favorite subject. 056.092 “But if he (the dying person), be of the denying (of 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).”
    Stunning. The entertainment for those who reject this dark dogma is to be roasted and boiled. What kind of god would tell his prophet to “celebrate” human torture? Since no god could possibly be this disturbed, this demented, should Muhammad be despised for perpetrating this fraud, or pitied? Should Muslims be freed from this delusion or should we simply sit back and watch them celebrate their torturous acts of terror today?

 

Y V Z M

    In exposing Islam I have erred on the side of the Qur’an and Hadith. That is to say, I have been nearly as repetitious as they have been. By bringing the doctrine's most holy books together chronologically and placing them in the context of time and place, the evidence piles up one confession at a time. The truth ultimately becomes undeniable. Therefore, I will continue to present their scriptures as completely as your endurance allows. By observing a consistent pattern of behavior, you will be able to render an accurate assessment.
    In this light, let’s dissect the 52nd surah, kissing cousin to the 56th. 052.001 “I call to witness Tur (Mount Sinai) and a Scripture Book inscribed, written on a fine parchment scroll unrolled, and the House ever-peopled, and the roof raised high, and the sea kept filled.” The Islamic spirit is trying to pull a fast one. The House wasn’t “ever-peopled.” As you will discover in the “Source Material” appendix, there is no archeological or historical evidence to show that Mecca even existed before the sixth century. Therefore, Islam’s formation is based upon a lie, because without people it would have been impossible to pass on any semblance of Islamic ritual from Abraham to Qusayy.
    Elsewhere in the Qur’an, we’re told that the “Book” was chiseled on Memorial Tablets, not inscribed on perishable parchment scrolls. But that’s the least of the Qur’anic headaches. It claims, as Maududi confirms, that it was first written before creation, and that it was passed down and maintained in its original form—verbatim. “The Qur’an that you are bent upon belying is unchangeable: ‘It is inscribed in the Preserved Tablet, which cannot be corrupted in any way.’”
    Since the Qur’an’s claims regarding its origin and nature are essential to our understanding, I’d like to explore this matter more completely. Allah’s “book” says of itself: 012:001 “These are verses of the immaculate Book, a clear discourse.” Immaculate means perfect, flawless—inerrant. Yet we’ve already discovered scores of errors, big and small. 012:003 “Through the Qur’an We narrate the best of histories.” Yet it is devoid of history. It doesn’t even provide any context. 002.001 “This is a book free of doubt.” That is true, but not in the way it was intended. 010:037 “This Qur’an is such a writing that none but Allah could have composed it. It confirms what has been revealed before.” Not only would the behavior in the Islamic heaven be illegal in every state save the brothels of Nevada, the Qur’an contradicts rather than confirms the prior revelation it says is inspired. What’s more, the writing quality is an embarrassment. While lecturing on creation, Allah’s prophet professed, “All that was going to be was written on the memorial Tablet before anything else was created.” And that is particularly odd since everything we have read thus far has been fixated on one man’s quest for gold and glory. Said another way: the Qur’an’s revelations temporal and they only serve Muhammad.
    The reason I bring this to your attention is to scuttle the Islamic claim that the Qur’an is a perfect reflection of the original tablet inscribed in heaven. The earliest Qur’anic writings all differ with each other, and they conflict with the present version. Coins from 685 A.D. have inscriptions that don’t match today’s surahs. The scripture inside the Dome of the Rock (691 A.D.) also varies. Further, the earliest copies of the Qur’an were written without vowels and the diacritical dots that modern Arabic uses to determine what letter is intended. It wasn’t until the late eighth century, more than a hundred and fifty years after Muhammad’s death, that Islamic scholars added diacritical marks to clear up countless ambiguities. In doing so, they chose the letters and vowels—and thus the current words, punctuation, and meaning. They translated what was essentially code into the gibberish we are reading today.
    Then there is the problem of the parchments themselves. The oldest fragments date to the eighth century, not the seventh. They were found in a pager grave on the loft rafters of the Mosque of Saria’a in 1972. Aberrations from the accepted text abound, including the order of the verses, textual variations, and artistic embellishments. Gerd Puin, the leader of the German team analyzing the scrolls said, “Revisions are very clearly written over earlier, washed-off versions. What the Yemeni Qur’ans suggest is an evolving text rather than the word of God revealed in its entirety to the Prophet Muhammad.” Puin went on to declare: “The Qur’an claims for itself that it is ‘mubeen,’ or clear, but if you look at it, you will notice that every fifth sentence or so simply doesn’t make sense.  A fifth of the Qur’anic text is incomprehensible. This is what has caused the anxiety regarding translation. If the Qur’an is not comprehensible, if it can’t even be understood in Arabic, then it’s not translatable into any language.” This stark reality is frightening to orthodox Muslims who parrot their prophet’s claim that the Qur’an has been preserved perfectly—unchanged and inerrant—just as Allah wrote it.
    The perfection claim Allah makes on behalf of his Qur’an would be impossible even if Allah were god. Language is an imperfect tool. One word can mean many things and meanings often change with inflection. Connotation is altered by context, something the Qur’an lacks. Knowing the time, place, and parties to a conversation is required to establish the intended implication. For example, the Classical Arabic word used for fighting could just as easily be translated killing. And the word for virgin is indistinguishable from the classical Arabic word for white grape.
    Yahweh knew better. He never said his Scripture was inerrant. He said it was sufficient. But while we are on the subject, I’d like to share something you might find interesting. There are thousands of prophecies in the Bible, most of which are exacting. There have been no misses. There are thousands of detailed historical depictions in the text—none of which have been shown to be invalid.
    The Qur’an’s obsession with demented torments is proof of a different kind of inspiration. Its fixation on fatalism, the annihilation of choice, and therefore the impossibility of love, provides another salient clue as to the nature of Islam’s dark spirit. 052.007 “Verily the Doom and torment of your Lord will surely come to pass; there is none that can avert it or ward it off.”
    This “god” is a nasty and violent fellow: 052.009 “On the Day when heaven will heave in dreadful shaking, trembling, and the mountains will fly hither and thither, woe to those who reject [me], that play in shallow trifles and sport in vain discourses. That Day they will be pushed down by force, thrust with a horrible thrust into the Fire of Hell. Unable to resist, they shall be driven to the fire with violence.” This is demented. 
    052.014 “‘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.’” This, too, is blatantly demonic.
    Those who are willing to trust a spirit this carnal shall be rewarded in like fashion (if he’s not the Devil): 052.017 “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 [damning, robbing, enslaving, and murdering people for me].’ 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.” The fact that heaven and hell are consistently depicted in Muhammad’s parochial image is a sign that his passions inspired this part of the Qur’an, not God’s.
    052.021 “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.” Allah’s brew of free frivolity sounds like a date-rape drug.
    This less-than-heavenly picture continues with these perverse strokes: 052.024 “Round about them will serve, (devoted) to them, young boy servants of their own (handsome) as well-guarded pearls.” In previous verses, Allah used the “well-guarded pearl” reference to designate virgins, maidens whose virtue was hidden, or protected, in closed shells. Now, used in reference to handsome and devoted boy servants, it sounds like homosexuality. “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.’” Could Allah be saying that they previously suppressed their homosexual urges for fear of their families’ wrath, but now they are out of the closest?
    052.028 “We used to invoke Him before: truly He the Benign, the Merciful!” A benign and merciful    tormentor; now there’s a thought. I can only wonder how Muslims justify the obvious contradiction between their god’s definition and his behavior. “Therefore remind: By the Grace of your Lord, you are no vulgar soothsayer, nor are you a possessed madman.” Another translation reads: “Therefore warn (men, Muhammad). By the grace of Allah you are neither soothsayer nor madman.” Either way, it’s evidence that neither Muhammad nor the Meccans were convinced.
    052.030 “Or do they say: ‘A Poet! We await for him some evil accidental calamity (hatched) by time!’ Say: ‘Await you! I too will wait along with you!’” From another translation: “Say (unto them): Except (your fill)! Lo! I am with you among the expectant.” With the words that the Islamic scholar arbitrarily added to the text to make the message seem rational removed, the verse reads: “Say: Except! Lo! I am with you among the expectant.” While scholars may quibble over the meaning, I think one thing is clear: illiterate men ought not author scripture.
    Ali’s translation explains: “Do they say: He is a poet from whom we expect an adverse turn of fortune?” How perceptive. The Meccans saw Muhammad as a con artist ready to pick their pockets. And he did. The “poet” robbed their caravans, stole their town, and then usurped all rights associated with their religious scam.
    To rebut his critics, the pot called the kettle black. 052.032 “Is it that their mental faculties of understanding urge them to this, or are they an outrageous folk, transgressing beyond the bounds?” While the never-ending argument between the Meccans and Muhammad over the prophet’s lack of prophetic credentials is wearisome, this verse demonstrates the Qur’an’s lack of divine inspiration. An all-knowing God would never have asked such a question.
    As the argument raged on, Muhammad’s kin were ever more convinced that the wannabe prophet was simply fabricating his divine credentials to steal their money. 052.033 “Or do they say, ‘He fabricated it (the Qur’an)?’ Nay, they will never believe. Let them then produce a recital/speech/announcement/discourse like unto it, if they speak the truth!” The Meccans knew what we have learned—Muhammad was making this up as he went along. And the best the prophet could do was to say, “Prove I’m lying by producing a recital as good as this.”
    The early Hanif poem by Zayd, upon which the early surahs were based, was easily as good, if not much better. And the Bible, from which the later surahs were plagiarized, was infinitely more rational, more prophetic, and godly. Therefore, based upon the challenge, Muhammad’s recitals were false. We have called his bluff. But then again, it wasn’t a big deal. As you shall soon see, Adolf Hitler’s rants were better than this.
    052.035 “Were they created of nothing, or were they themselves their creators? Or did they create the heavens and earth? Nay, they have no certainty. Do they possess the treasures of your Lord? Or are they the tyrant treasurers set in absolute authority to do as they like [with the Ka’aba Inc.]?” Now that’s our boy. Muhammad saw himself as the one set in absolute authority—to do anything he liked. As such he was empowered to pirate treasures and cavort immorally without recrimination. Moreover, he actually got away with it.
    Pressing his case, the lord is alleged to have asked: 052.038 “Or have they a ladder, by which they can (climb up to heaven and) listen (to its secrets)? Then let (such a) listener of theirs produce a warrant manifesting proof.” According to Muhammad, Adam bumped his head on heaven. So the Islamic heaven isn’t very high. A ladder would have been sufficient. However, since Mecca was devoid of wood and carpenters, just building a ladder would have been a bigger miracle than Muhammad or his dark spirit ever mustered.
    052.039 “Or has He (Allah) only daughters and you have sons?” The prophet ought to have stopped when he was down and left us in doubt. Muhammad’s Lord is demeaning the Meccan rock idol Allah. He’s saying that “He” isn’t worthy because he had daughters, not sons. Allah’s daughters were fellow rock idols Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat of Satanic Verse fame. Since boys were viewed as better than girls, Muhammad’s dark spirit is implying that Allah was a low-life loser. And make no mistake, Allah was the only Meccan deity with daughters. This exact same verse was repeated later in the Qur’an as a way of digging Muhammad out of his devilish dilemma when he confessed to mistaking Satan for Allah.
    052.040 “Or is it that you demand a reward or fee from them (for preaching Islam), so that they are burdened with expense and a load of debt? Or that the Ghaib (unseen) is in their hands that they have it written down? Or do they intend a plot (against you), staging a deception? But those who defy and seek to ensnare (the messenger) are themselves being plotted against and will be tricked!” Muhammad’s lord is saying that the Meccans are lucky that he isn’t charging them for these spiritual insights. Further, he’s implying that they are impoverished because they haven’t written any scripture. Mind you, Muhammad hadn’t written any either, and none of them could have read it if either of them had. Then he goes off on his favorite conspiracy theory—everyone is plotting against my guy. Which isn’t actually true—only those who knew Muhammad were interested in exposing his plot.
    The verse ends with one of many confessions. The Islamic god is a trickster. He plots against men. So, why do Muslims trust the “word” of an admittedly deceitful spirit? How do they know he is not deceiving them?
    As with so much of the Qur’an, the next verse doesn’t fit with the rest of the surah—and thus was probably revealed much later. Up to this point the Lord has been unnamed and Allah has been demeaned. Now we’re being told that there is no god (ilah) but Allah. 052.043 “Or have they an ilah (god) other than Allah? [An odd question to ask the Meccans since their primary deity was named Allah.] Glory be to Allah from what they set up.”
    052.044 “Were they to see a piece of sky falling, they would say: ‘Clouds gathered in heaps!’ So leave them alone until they encounter that Day where they shall swoon (with terror); their plotting will avail them not, and no help shall be given them (so they shall receive their torment). Verily, for those who do wrong, there is another punishment besides this, but most of them understand not.” The spirit of Islam is in a rut: the sky is falling, men are swooning in terror, and there are ever more plots and punishments. No matter where one looks, the Qur’an is a very nasty book.

Y V Z M

    Returning to the Hadith, we find Tabari, in an effort to please his Shi’ite overlords, saying that Ali was the first male lured into Islamic submission. Tabari VI:83 “Ali was the first to accept Islam. He submitted at the age of nine.”
    Now that we have three Muslims, let’s take a quick inventory. Khadija founds Islam to salvage her reclusive, suicidal husband’s tattered reputation. She convinces him that he’s not cavorting with demons, and he adopts her Profitable Prophet Plan. Amply motivated by revenge and greed, the dynamic duo assails their clan with claims equally preposterous and delusional. They were “belittling the competition.” Their alleged “scripture” is as demented as their motives are transparent. What’s more, their anemic idol and his fanciful message are so infantile every Meccan scoffs at the would-be prophet, save one nine-year-old child. And he’s adopted under guess-who’s care.
    Tabari VI:83 “One of the favors Allah bestowed on Ali bin Talib [Ali was uncle Talib’s son, hence Muhammad’s cousin.] was that the Messenger was his guardian before Islam.” And that occurred because: “The Quraysh were afflicted by a severe drought. Muhammad said to his uncle al-Abbas, one of the richest Banu Hashim [Muhammad’s clan], ‘Abbas, your brother Abu Talib has many dependents, and you see how people are suffering. I will take one of his sons and you take one.” The champion of Dads, “Abu Talib said to them, ‘As long as you leave me Aqil, do as you wish.’ Muhammad took Ali.”
    “Our fellow scholars are agreed,” Tabari says, “that Ali accepted Islam a year after the Prophet began his mission, and that he remained in Mecca for twelve years.” As such, the score at end of the prophet’s first year was: Islam 1, Pagans 4,999.
    But if Islam was low on converts, it was long on controversy. Abu Bakr, Muhammad’s richest pal, future father-in-law, and Caliph, claimed he preceded Ali. “‘O Messenger, who has followed you in this religion?’ He replied, ‘Two men have followed me in it, a free man and a slave; Abu Bakr and Bilal.’”
    The prophet misspoke when he said Bilal. Zayd bin Harithah, not to be confused with Zayd the Hanif, was the first slave to submit. He was owned by Khadija. She gave him to Muhammad, and after some time, he adopted the boy, making him his second son. Companions of the Prophet say: “The first man to believe and follow the Prophet was Zayd bin Harithah, his client [slave] and adopted son.” Ibn Ishaq says that the slave-turned-son was number two: “Zayd was the first male to accept Islam and to pray after Ali. Then Abu Bakr accepted Islam.”
    A word of caution is appropriate here. Freeing a slave and adopting him was a fine and upstanding thing to do. But before we lavish praise upon Muhammad, consider this: in Mecca, sons were considered a sign of godly favor. No sons, no favor. Muhammad’s own boys died in infancy—a strong signal to the Meccans that god had punished him. What’s more, in an act we would call incest, the prophet would come to steal Zayd’s wife. In Medina, while his son was away terrorizing Meccans, Muhammad stumbled into her tent, saw her undressed, lusted, and took her as his own.
    Regardless of who was conned first, by the end of the fourth year, it was Islam 4, Pagans 4,996. Tabari confirms the stealth prophet’s slow start. Tabari VI:89 “Three years after the commencement of his mission, Allah commanded His Prophet to proclaim the divine message which he had received publicly to the people.” “In the previous three years of his mission, until he was commanded to summon people openly, he had kept his preaching secret and hidden.” At the time Muslims “were few in number and practiced their faith in secret.” He was the world’s first mute messenger.
    Mistaken, Tabari states that Allah summoned the tongue-tied troubadour with these words from the 15th surah, “So proclaim that which you are commanded, and withdraw from the polytheists.” Qur’anic scholars say, however, that the 15th surah was 57th in order of divine revelation, not third. Either the surahs are hopelessly jumbled or somebody is terribly wrong. And this is a serious problem for Islam because Tabari wrote the earliest and most revered Qur’an commentary.
    In the next paragraph, Tabari confirms that even the first Muslims were clueless when it came to the progression of surahs. After parading the 15th out as the third, he nominates the 26th for the fourth position. All three Qur’anic chronologists say that the 26th immediately preceded the 15th.
    Regardless of the score or progression, Bakr was said to be a better salesman than Islam’s Messiah. “Many responded to his summons and accepted Islam.”
    Some however, needed a little encouraging. “They came to blows, and Sa’d struck one of the polytheists with a camel’s jawbone and split his head open.”
    That leads us to the showdown at uncle Abu’s mud hut. This discussion is similar to the one chronicled earlier in Ishaq’s Sira, but it is placed later in the flow of things by Tabari in his History. He claims that Hajjaj’s eight sons Tabari VI:93 “went to Abu Talib and said, ‘Your nephew [Muhammad] has reviled our gods, denounced our religion, derided our traditional values, and told us that our forefathers were misguided [and burning in hell]. Either curb his attacks on us or give us a free hand to deal with him, for you are as opposed to him as we are.’” This Hadith suggests that Muhammad was the cause of his own grief. He denounced traditional Arab values and damned his ancestors. The Meccans wanted nothing more than for him to shush up. But no… “he continued as before.”
    The leadership returned to “Talib once again. They said, ‘We asked you to forbid your nephew from attacking us, but you did nothing. By Allah, we can no longer endure this vilification of our forefathers, this derision of our traditional values, and this abuse of our gods.’” We are told: “This breach and enmity with his tribe weighed heavily on Abu Talib.”
    The Meccans were reasonable, rational, and restrained. They returned to Abu Talib a third, fourth, and fifth time. “You are our elder and our chief, so give us justice against your nephew and order him to desist from reviling our gods, and we will leave him to his god.” At this point, Muhammad’s god was not one of the Meccan gods—further evidence of the migration from Ar-Rahman to Allah.
    Tabari VI:95 “Abu Talib sent for Muhammad. ‘Nephew, here are the shaykhs and nobles of your tribe. They have asked for justice against you. You should desist from reviling their gods and they will leave you to your god.’ ‘Uncle,’ he said, ‘shall I not summon them to something which is better than their gods?’” He was protesting that his god, Ar-Rahman, was better than their god, Allah. But how can that be? The Islamic religion was based upon the claim that Muhammad was Allah’s messenger. Yet on this day, Muhammad wants to summon the Meccans to a god who is better than their Allah.
    Tabari VI:96 “Abu Talib said to Muhammad, ‘Nephew, how is it that your tribe is complaining of you and claiming that you are reviling their gods and saying this, that, and the other?’ The Messenger said, ‘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 [submission tax] to them.” This is another confirmation of the Profitable Prophet Plan.
    The shaykhs and nobles are alleged to have said something that contradicts the prior Hadith. Yet it is no less debilitating to Allah’s claim of divinity. “Does Muhammad make the gods one god? This is indeed an astounding thing.” Muhammad combined the traits of six pagan idols—Ar-Rahman, Ar-Rahim, Allah, Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat—into a single deity. He manufactured his god!
    The Qur’an confirms this admission in the 38th surah. “Sad [the name of an Arabian moon god], I swear by the Qur’an, full of reminding.” The Noble Qur’an has a different take on the “Sad” intro: “Sad (These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur’an, and none but Allah knows their meanings.)” Imagine that: Islam claims that nobody understands the final “reminder” to mankind. And so desperate are Muslims for miracles, incomprehensibility is called a sign of divinity.
    Then the Islamic god says that those who deny the senseless are arrogant and misinformed: 038.002 “Nay, those who disbelieve are in false pride and opposition.”
    This is followed by a little Islamic bragging: 038.003 “How many generations have we destroyed before them? They cried out for mercy when it was too late for escape. They wonder that a warner has come to them from among themselves. And the disbelievers say, ‘This (Prophet Muhammad) is a sorcerer, a charlatan, an wizard telling lies. He has made the alihah (gods) into one Ilah (God). This is a curious and strange thing to be sure!’ Their leaders said, ‘Walk away from him…there is surely some motive behind this—something sought after—a thing he has designed against us…It is surely a forgery.’”
    Those who lived with Muhammad, dealt with him, worked with him, and listened to him, knew exactly who he was: “He is a sorcerer, a charlatan, a wizard telling lies.” They knew what he was doing: “He has turned our gods into a single God.” And they were never in doubt as to why: “There is surely some motive behind it—something sought after.” They even understood his means: “It is a forgery.” The eyewitnesses to the crime are unanimous in their testimony: a fraud has been perpetrated. Their eyewitness account has been retained in the Qur’an. But sadly, neither Muslims nor Infidels are listening to what those who knew Muhammad best had to say. And that, perhaps, is the biggest crime of all.
    Then, as a Mafia godfather would do today, the dark spirit of Islam threatened the eyewitnesses and intimidated the jury pool: 038.007 “‘We have not heard of this in the religion of later days. This is nothing but an invention! What! Has this been sent to him?’ Nay, but they are in doubt about My reminder (this Qur’an). Nay, but they have not tasted (My) Torment yet! Let them climb up the ladders to the heavens. They will be one more army vanquished among the many routed hordes.” Forever lame, Allah, in trying to vindicate himself, confirmed his guilt. He just said that his heaven was hellish, a place where people are vanquished.
    But the cocky, schoolyard bully wasn’t finished gloating. He went on to list his all-in-one-god’s glorious achievements: 038.012 “Before them belied the people of Noah, Ad, Pharaoh the man of stakes (for punishment), Thamud, the people of Lot, and the Wood dwellers, such were the Confederates. They rejected my Messengers so My Torment was justified.” I’ve heard of justifiable homicide but never justifiable torment.
    After confirming his pagan origins, and proving his demented nature, the 38th surah reveals the dark spirit’s lack of mental acuity. Allah introduces his listeners to David, the greatest Jewish king. He claims that King David was his votary, and that he turned to him, not Yahweh, despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary. But damn the facts. Muhammad had people to subdue, credibility to usurp, power to grab, and money to steal. 038.017 “We endued Our slave David with power. It was We who subdued the hills to sing Our praises with him at nightfall. And the birds were assembled, all obedient to him.” 038.020 “We made his kingdom strong and bestowed (Islamic) Prophethood on him.”
    This delusional celestial songfest is followed by a meaningless story of runaway ewes. Then we learn: 038.024 “It occurred to David that he was being tried by Us, and he begged his Lord to forgive him and fell down, prostrating himself in [Islamic] homage.” According to Allah, King David was a Muslim! Can you imagine the conspiracy that would have had to happen to write David’s Islamic practices and devotion to Allah out of the Bible and his faux Jewishness in? Allah has to be the most delusional god ever conceived by man.
    Now that the Qur’an has pulverized what little credibility its god and prophet might have possessed, it is time to say goodbye to the “Sad” surah: 038.027 “We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that lies between for nothing. So woe to the unbelievers because of the fire of Hell.” The first nine words I believe.
    Back in Mecca: Tabari VI:98 “The situation deteriorated, hostility became bitter, and people withdrew from one another, displaying open hatred.” Trying to salvage a deteriorating situation, “the Meccan chiefs conspired to seduce their sons, brothers, and clansmen away from the new religion. It was a trial which severely shook the Muslims who had followed the Prophet. Some were seduced.” So to salvage as many converts as possible, Muhammad commanded Muslims “to emigrate to Abyssinia.”
    Tabari VI:98 “The main body went to Abyssinia because of the coercion they were being subjected to in Mecca. His fear was that they would be seduced from their religion.” “There is a difference of opinion as to the number of those who emigrated in stealth and secret. Some say there were eleven men and four women. …Ibn Ishaq claims there were ten.”
    It doesn’t appear that the words of Islam were very convincing. A little coercion and the fragile band buckled. In the eighth year of Muhammad’s reign as prophet the score is Islam 15, Pagans 4,985. It’s little wonder Islamic states prohibit freedom of religion. Even Muhammad couldn’t sell this stuff.

My response:

There is absolutely nothing of substance that the polytheist trinitarian pagan wrote above, except for the Noble Verses that he quoted.  While his gibberish nonsense had been debunked in the first section of response above, I'd like to respond to the following quote of his:

" I feel compelled to issue a warning: Islamic material will put you to sleep. It is poorly written, disorganized, and directionless. Do not attempt to operate your life while under its influence as serious injury or death may result."

Aside from the fact that his gospel of porn bible, the book of women's vaginas and breasts taste like "wine", is the one and only notorious book in terrorism, pedophilia against 3-year old slave girls, mass murder of even "suckling infants" and raping and other evil doings, I'd like to issue the following challenge to the polytheist trinitarian pagan, which I have issued already before, and he up until this point failed to respond to it. 

Let's see if the Noble Quran truly would result in "serious injury or death":

My open challenge to Craig Winn:

I openly challenge Craig Winn to produce ONE, JUST ONE Noble Verse from the Muslims' Noble Quran that condones killing of innocent children, women or even hostile enemy men who drop their weapons before Muslims (surrender). 

See the Rights of Prisoners of War in Islam. 

Allah Almighty Said in the Noble Quran:

"On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.  (The Noble Quran, 5:32)"

"Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loveth not transgressors.  (The Noble Quran, 2:190)"

Allah Almighty also Commanded UNCOMPROMISED Justice:
"O ye who believe! Stand out firmly For justice, as witnesses To Allah, even as against Yourselves, or your parents, Or your kin, and whether It be (against) rich or poor: For Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (Of your hearts), lest ye Swerve, and if ye Distort (justice) or decline To do justice, verily Allah is well-acquainted With all that ye do.  (The Noble Quran, 4:135)"

Yet, we see mass slaughters and even rape of 3-year old girls as seen above in the man-altered, man-fabricated and man-corrupted bible.

The Scientific Miracles in the Noble Quran:

I'd like the reader to take a look at the following Divine Miracles from the Noble Quran:

From http://www.answering-christianity.com/sci_quran.htm:

Introductory Important Links and Notes:

Non-Muslim Scientists embraced Islam after discovering the Miracles of the Noble Quran!

Allah Almighty promising to show us His Miracles in the outside Universe and in our Embryology:

"We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and INSIDE THEIR SELVES, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things?  (The Noble Quran, 41:53)"

Very Important Discovery:

A new star forming out of a cloud of gas and dust (nebula), which is one of the remnants of the "smoke" that was the origin of the whole universe. (The Space Atlas, Heather and Henbest, page 50)
Allah Almighty said: "Then He turned to the heaven when it was smoke...(The Noble Quran, 41:11)"
The Noble Quran on the Origin of the Universe
Only Islam claims that the universe was originated from Dust and Hot Gas, or Smoke.

Another Very Important Discovery:

Allah Almighty Said:  "And when the heaven splitteth asunder and becometh ROSY LIKE RED HIDE -  (The Noble Quran, 55:37)"
What Allah Almighty is Saying here is that when Galaxies explode, they form a red-rose-shaped explosion.  He is also telling us that the Universe will all turn into red exploded galaxies looking like red or reddish roses when the Day of Judgement happens.

The explosion of Stars (FORMING RED ROSES), Galaxies and the Universe in the Noble Quran had been confirmed by NASA.

Did Isaiah 53 really prophesies about the crucifixion of Jesus? It supports Islam's claims about Jesus peace be upon him never died on the cross.  I also addressed John 19:36-37 from the Bible and proved that Jesus never got crucified, since GOD Almighty promised that he will protect Jesus' body and not let even a single bone be broken.   My question to all Christians is: How in the world is it possible for the feet to get nailed on the cross without any penetration to the bones by the nails, hence breaking part of the feet's bones?! I also added refutations to Exodus 12:46, Numbers 9:12, Zechariah 12:10 and Psalm 34:20, which supposedly prove the Christians' belief about Jesus crucifixion.  I proved that this dogma has no truth what so ever and exposed the wrong Trinitarian English translation of Zechariah 12:10.
