My rebuttal to Sam Shamoun's "Mary the Mother of Jesus: A Houri in Paradise?" article:

This article is a refutation to Sam Shamoun's article, which is located at: http://www.answering-islam.org/Shamoun/mary.htm

Before we proceed with his article, let us first look at the DARKNESS in his porn-full bible; the book of pedophilia, murder, TERRORISM, and women's vaginas and breasts taste like "wine":

He wrote:

Mary the Mother of Jesus: A Houri in Paradise?

Sam Shamoun

The Quran and Muslim tradition teach that men in Paradise will be given young maidens for sexual pleasure:

As to the Righteous, they will be in Gardens, and in Happiness,- Enjoying the (Bliss) which their Lord hath bestowed on them, and their Lord shall deliver them from the Chastisement of the Fire. (To them will be said:) "Eat and drink ye, with profit and health, because of your (good) deeds." They will recline (with ease) upon couches arranged in ranks; and WE SHALL WED THEM TO MAIDENS, with beautiful big and lustrous eyes. And those who believe and whose seeds 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. And We shall bestow on them, of fruit and meat, anything they shall desire. They shall there exchange, one with another, a cup free of frivolity, free of sin, Round about them will serve, (devoted) to them: youths (handsome) as Pearls well-guarded. S. 52:17-24

"And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). These will be those Nearest to Allah. In Gardens of Bliss: A number of people from those of old, And a few from those of later times. (They will be) on couches encrusted (with gold and precious stones), Reclining on them, facing each other. Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness), With goblets, (shining) beakers, and cups (filled) out of clear-flowing fountains: No after-ache will they receive therefrom, nor will they suffer intoxication: And with fruits, any that they may select: And the flesh of fowls, any that they may desire. 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). No frivolity will they hear therein, nor any mischief,- Only the saying, "Peace! Peace". The Companions of the Right Hand,- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand? (They will be) among Lote-trees without thorns, Among Talh trees with flowers (or fruits) piled one above another,- In shade long-extended, By water flowing constantly, And fruit in abundance. Whose season is not limited, nor (supply) forbidden, And on couches raised high. We have created them of special creation. And made them virgin - pure (and undefiled), - Full of love (for their mates), equal in age,- For the Companions of the Right Hand. A (goodly) number from those of old, And a (goodly) number from those of later times. S. 56:10-40

Here are Ibn Kathir's comments on S. 56:35-37:

Abu Dawud At-Tayalisi recorded that Anas said that the Messenger of Allah said,

<In Paradise, the believer will be given such and such strength for women.>

Anas said, "I asked, 'O Allah's Messenger! Will one be able to do that? He said,

<He will be given the strength OF A HUNDRED (MEN)> At-Tirmidhi also recorded it and said, "Sahih Gharib." Abu Al-Qasim At-Tabarani recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Messenger of Allah was asked, "O Allah's Messenger! Will we have sexual intercourse with our wives in Paradise?" He said,

<The man will be able to have sexual intercourse WITH A HUNDRED VIRGINS IN ONE DAY.>

Al-Hafiz Abu 'Abdullah Al-Maqisi said, "In my view, the Hadith meets the criteria of the Sahih, and Allah knows best." (Tafsir Ibn Kathir - Abridged, Volume 9, Surat Al-Jathiyah to the end of Surat Al-Munafiqun, pp. 429-430; bold and capital emphasis ours)

The Quran also specifies what these maidens's body parts are like:

"Surely for the godfearing awaits a place of security, gardens and vineyards, and maidens of SWELLING BREASTS (kawa'ib), like of age, and a cup overflowing." S. 78:33 Arberry (see also Dawood, Rodwell)

Ibn Kathir gives a more fully detailed description of what these breasts look like:

<And vineyards, and Kawa'ib Atrab,> meaning, wide-eyed maidens WITH FULLY DEVELOPED BREASTS. Ibn 'Abbas, Mujahid and others have said,

<Kawa'ib> "This means ROUND BREASTS. They meant by this THAT THE BREASTS OF THESE GIRLS WILL BE FULLY ROUNDED AND NOT SAGGING, because they will be virgins, equal in age..." (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Abridged, Volume 10, Surat At-Tagabun to the end of the Qur'an, pp. 333-334; bold and capital emphasis ours)

My response:

So far, you have not presented anything of substance to refute.

From www.answering-christianity.com/pervert_nonsense.htm

Is the GOD of Islam and Christianity a pervert?

Some Christian debaters tried to prove that the GOD of Islam is a pervert GOD, because He promised mates for the believers in Paradise who are equal of age (Noble Verses 78:31-33) and were never touched by Jinn or Men before (Noble Verses 55:54-56).

Important Note: I provided more online translations to Noble Verses 55:54-56 and 78:31-33 from different sources at the end of this article that prove that there is no mention of any pornography in the Noble Quran what so ever.  I also elaborated on the Arabic translation of the Noble Verses and provided analysis about their meaning in Arabic.

Some people just dig their own graves!

I would like to respond to those immature anti-Islamic Christians by asking them this:

Was the GOD of the Bible a pervert when He thought about creating PENISES and VAGINAS to humans here on earth?

Was the GOD of the Bible a pervert when He created the "sexual turn on" for men when they see women and for women when they see men?  Does the word "masturbation" sound familiar to you?!

Was the GOD of the Bible a pervert when He decided to make humans reproduce through sexual intercourse?

After all, He is the One who designed and created all of it, correct?

So what is the dumb point then?

So what, if Allah Almighty prepared maximum sexual pleasure for us in heaven? He is the one who created sex here on earth anyway, correct?

He is the one who created in you the high sexual desires for women or for men (depending on your gender), correct?

So are the anti-Islamic Christians suggesting that the GOD of Christianity is a pervert then? (since He created sex)?

Heaven is Heaven. It has the maximum pleasure in everything; in nature views, happiness, sex, food, etc...

Please visit Women and Maidens in Paradise according to Islam.  How will women live in Paradise, and will they have companions?

Rebuttal to the so-called "Suckling Pornography" lie against Islam.

Further sites to research:

And since we're talking about lust, then how about asking the Anti-Islamic Christians to examine the lust and sex in the Bible?  Visit X-Rated Pornography in the Bible, where you will see actual quotes of:

1- Women talking about how good their lovers are in bed.

2- How "round" and "tasty" women's' "breasts" and "vaginas" are.  Bible even claims that women's' vaginas taste like "wine".

3- How the Bible teaches children to flirt and have fornication.

4- How the Bible lacks a great deal of teaching discipline especially when it comes to illegal sex and fornication.

Important Note:  If the Anti-Islamic Christians are going to consider Islam to be a religion of perverts just because Allah Almighty promised the Believers (the winners of Paradise) the maximum pleasure in EVERYTHING (including sex), then I would like to kindly ask them to review their own Bible and dare to make these remarks about it.

Fathers are literally allowed to stick their fingers into their own daughters' vaginas in the Bible before the daughters get married.

Raping girls at the age of 3 is allowed in the Jewish Holiest Book, the Thalmud.

Question to Christians:

I was told by many Christians that according to their beliefs, the winners of Paradise will have their earthly bodies in Heaven.  Meaning, they will have their heads, faces, arms, legs, mouths, groins, breasts, etc...

If so, then do you believe that you will have sex in Paradise as part of your life (as it is now here on earth) if you end up entering it?

More Translations to the above Noble Verses:

For Noble Verses 78:31-33:

Translation by Abdullah Yusuf Ali:  "Companions of equal age"

Translation by M.M. Pickthall: "And maidens for companions"

Translation by M.H. Shakir: "And those showing freshness of youth, equals in age"

Another translation of Noble Verses 78:31-33 in a different Quran Translation web site.

There is no mention of any Pornography in Noble Verses 78:31-33.  The Noble Verse 78:33 which says "Companions of equal age" says in Arabic "Kawa'eba Atraba".  Some modern Arabic literature writers say that "Kawa'eba" is referring to bosomed females.  Bosomed females generally have beautiful thin legs, bosomed breasts, thin stomach etc...  But the Noble Quran DOES NOT elaborate on it this way.  It only said two words "Kawa'eba Atraba", which literally means "bosomed females".  Other Arabic literature writers say that "Kawa'eba" is referring to companion or friend, thus "Kawa'eba Atraba" would literally mean "Companions of equal age."

There is no problem with Allah Almighty promising the believers beautiful mates in Paradise.  The point is however, the Noble Quran does not in anyway expose women's private parts like the Bible so ridiculously does with women.  It's a shame that the Bible exposed every private part of King Solomon's wife for instance and said that her vagina and breasts taste like wine.  It's a shame to call such trash a Divine Inspiration from GOD Almighty.  Visit X-Rated Pornography in the Bible.

My dear Christian friend, I am not trying to upset you.  I wasn't the one who wrote the Bible.  And I wasn't the one who corrupted it either.  Please open your heart to Islam, the One True Religion that Calls for the Oneness and Worship of Allah Almighty, and Allah Almighty will help you.

For Noble Verses 55:54-56:

Translation by Abdullah Yusuf Ali: "whom no man or Jinn before them has touched"

Translation by M.M. Pickthall: "whom neither man nor jinni will have touched before them"

Translation by M.H. Shakir: "before them neither man nor jinni shall have touched them"

Another translation of Noble Verses 55:54-56 in a different Quran Translation web site.

Again, there is no mention of any Pornography in Noble Verses 55:54-56.

He wrote:

The Qur'an also states:

And round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness): If thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls. S. 76:19

The hadiths confirm that these descriptions of eating, drinking and having maidens for pleasure are not symbolic or allegorical, but literal acts:

Muhammad reported that some (persons) stated with a sense of pride and some discussed whether there would be more men in Paradise or more women. It was upon this that Abu Huraira reported that Abu'l Qasim (the Holy Prophet) (may peace be upon him) said: The (members) of the first group to get into Paradise would have their faces as bright as full moon during the night, and the next to this group would have their faces as bright as the shining stars in the sky, and every person would have two wives and the marrow of their shanks would glimmer beneath the flesh and there would be none without a wife in Paradise. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Book 040, Number 6793)

Narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira through another chain of transmitters that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:

The (members of the) first group which would get into Paradise will have their faces as bright as stars in the sky. They would neither pass water, nor void excrement, nor will they suffer from catarrh, nor will they spit, and their combs would be made of gold, and their sweat will be musk, the fuel of their brazier will be aloes, and their wives will be large-eyed maidens and their form would be alike as one single person after the form of their father (Adam) sixty cubits tall. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Book 40, Number 6795)

Hammam b. Munabbih reported: These are some of the ahadith which Abu Huraira reported from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and one is this that he is reported to have said: The (members of the) first group that would be admitted to Paradise would have their faces as bright as full moon during the night. They would neither spit nor suffer catarrh, nor void excrement. They would have their utensils and their combs made of gold and silver and the fuel of their braziers would be aloes and their sweat would be musk and every one of them would have two spouses (so beautiful) that the marrow of their shanks would be visible through the flesh. There would be no dissension amongst them and no enmity in their hearts. Their hearts would be like one heart, glorifying Allah morning and evening. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Book 040, Number 6797)

Jabir reported: I heard Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying that the inmates of Paradise would eat and drink but would neither spit, nor pass water, nor void excrement, nor suffer catarrah. It was said: Then, what would happen with food? Thereupon he said: They would belch and sweat (and it would be over with their food), and their sweat would be that of musk and they would glorify and praise Allah as easily as you breathe. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Book 040, Number 6798)

Commenting on the reason for Egyptian professor and columnist, Farag Foda's assasination, New York Times columnist Judith Miller writes:

"About two weeks before his murder, he mocked what passed for intellectual discourse among Islamists by citing a recent sermon by Egypt's most popular preacher, Abdel Hamid Kishk, a blind sheikh who constantly attacked both the government and its official religious establishment. Kishk had been telling his audience that Muslims who entered paradise would enjoy ETERNAL ERECTIONS and the company of young boys draped in earrings and necklaces. Some of the ulema, the religious scholars at al-Azhar, the government's seat of Islamic learning had disagreed. Yes, they said, men in paradise would have erections, BUT MERELY PROTRACTED, NOT PERPETUAL. Other experts disputed the possibility of pederasty in paradise. ‘Is this what concerns Muslims at the end of the 20th century?’ Foda asked in a column in October magazine. ‘The world around us is busy with the conquest of space, genetic engineering and the wonders of the computer,’ while Muslim scholars, he wrote ‘in sadness and pain,’ were worried about sex in paradise. In a column published just before he was killed, Foda reported that the Tunisian government had videotaped militant Islamic leaders on their prayer rugs, unwilling to await paradise, making love to beautiful women here on earth. Meanwhile, Egyptian militants in Assyut were ordering believers not to eat eggplants and squash because of their resemblance to sexual organs. ‘The Group of Darkness are obsessed with sex,’ he wrote." (Miller, God Has Ninety-Nine Names [A Touchstone Book, published by Simon & Schuster, 1997], pp. 26-27; bold emphasis ours)

Our readers may be wondering what does this have to do with Mary, the mother of our risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? Here is a quotation from Ibn Kathir which helps to put things in perspective:

"The Messenger of God ... said, ‘God MARRIED ME IN PARADISE TO MARY THE DAUGHTER OF 'IMRAN and to the wife of Pharaoh and the sister of Moses.’ (Tabarani)" (Ibn Kathir, Qisas al-Anbiya [Cairo: Dar al-Kutub, 1968/1388], p. 381- as cited in Aliah Schleifer's Mary The Blessed Virgin of Islam [Fons Vitae; ISBN: 1887752021; July 1, 1998], p. 64; bold and capital emphasis ours)

According to the Quran, Mary's father is called Imran:

"Behold! a wife of Ìmrán said: ‘O my Lord! I do dedicate into Thee what is in my womb for Thy special service: So accept this of me: For Thou hearest and knowest all things.’ When she was delivered, she said: ‘O my Lord! Behold! I am delivered of a female child!’ - and Allah knew best what she brought forth - ‘And no wise is the male like the female. I have named her Mary, and I commend her and her offspring to Thy protection from Satan, the Rejected.’" S. 3:35-36

Compare:

Narrated Said bin Al-Musaiyab:

Abu Huraira said, "The Prophet said, ‘No child is born but that, Satan touches it when it is born where upon it starts crying loudly because of being touched by Satan, except Mary and her Son.’" Abu Huraira then said, "Recite, it you wish: ‘And I seek Refuge with You (Allah) for her and her offspring from Satan, the outcast.’ (3.36) (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 71)

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "When any human being is born. Satan touches him at both sides of the body with his two fingers, except Jesus, the son of Mary, whom Satan tried to touch but failed, for he touched the placenta-cover instead." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 506)

And:

"And Mary the daughter of Ìmrán, who guarded her sexual organ; and We breathed into it of Our spirit; and she testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of His Revelations, and was one of the devout (servants)." S. 66:12

This means that Muhammad believed that he would be married to our blessed Lord's mother and have sexual intercourse with her in Paradise! Such an idea not only shocks Christians, but actually exposes the sick perversions of this religion. We are thankful to God that Islam is not true and Muhammad is not God's prophet. Mary will never be married to Muhammad, nor will she be married to anyone else in Paradise, since the Holy Bible, God's true and pure word, teaches:

"Jesus replied, ‘The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. But those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God's children, since they are children of the resurrection.’" Luke 20:34-36

"For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." Romans 14:17

In the service of the true God and eternal life, our risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, forever and ever. Amen. Come Lord Jesus. We love you Lord of eternal glory.

My response:

From www.answering-christianity.com/heaven.htm

The Bible is in contradiction with itself in explaining paradise:

Christians believe that in heaven we will not have our earthly bodies.  We will be spirits without bodies living peacefully in heaven.  They base their claim mostly on the following verse:  "Jesus replied, 'You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.  At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.'  (Matthew 22:29-30)"   Christians took the verse from Jesus peace be upon him so literal when he said that we will be like angels (spirits) in heaven, and based their entire theory that in heaven we will not have bodies upon it.

Muslims believe that GOD Almighty at the Day of Resurrection will recreate our bodies to have the same exact size and age as Adam's body when he was created which is 70 arms in length and 20 arms in width.  Muslims believe that heaven will contain beautiful materials that we feel and touch in earth today such as food, drink, relationships, joy, etc.... but on a much larger scale and in a much more beautifully designed fashion.

The Old Testament contradicts the Christian theologians!

In the old Testament in the book of Genesis, we read about the famous story of Adam being the first human being created in heaven.  Then GOD Almighty created Eve from his rib.  Then later we read about Eve deceiving Adam and tempting him to eat the apple that GOD Almighty had forbidden him to eat it, and because of it GOD Almighty sent Adam and all mankind after him to earth to suffer.

Here is a comment from a Jehovah Witness Christian, Shane Umfleet, regarding this topic:  "I have been investigating more of your web-site. I find that you base your ideas on the Bible contradicting itself on the false teachings of Christendom. Have you considered that their interpretation is not correct?  That Adam and Eve were created on Earth, as stated at Genesis 1. Also, has it occurred to you that only a select few were intended to go to Heaven, as stated at Revelation 14:1,4; 7:2-4; and 5:9,10?  Also contrary to Christendom's interpretation, the Bible says that the Earth will not be destroyed, but will be inhabited by submissive human subjects of God and His heavenly kingdom, after the earth is cleansed of all wickedness.  Genesis 1:28; 2:8-15, Isa 55:11; 46:10,11; Ps 72:7 Isa 9:6,7 ; Mt. 6:9,10; Revelation 21:3-5.  Do you have any enlightenment on these Bible verses?"

It is interesting to know that "Bible Theologians" or "Bible Interpreters" differ a great deal among themselves.  In the example of Heaven in the Bible, it is important to note how the Bible is so confusing and so filled with inconsistencies that a group of Christians claim that we will not have our earthly bodies in heaven and earth will be destroyed, and yet others claim that we will have our earthly bodies and we will live in Paradise on Earth.  Like throughout most of the Bible, this serious difference of interpretations does put a big question mark on the reliability of the Bible.  As a Muslim, I believe that the Bible used to be Allah Almighty's pure words (free from errors), but man had so corrupted it that it no longer became a valid book.  Please visit History of man's corruption in the Bible.

Contradictions between the OT and NT to notice:

1- GOD created a husband and a wife in heaven.  This contradicts the New Testament above when it claimed that we will only be spirits that don't marry in heaven.

2- GOD created a body for Adam in heaven, he had a head, a mouth, a neck, a stomach to feed himself the forbidden apple and digested it in his stomach/body.  This also contradicts that we will only be spirits with no bodies in heaven as the New Testament claims.

3- Adam peace be upon him did feel hungry enough to get tempted to eat the forbidden apple.  This proves that our earthly feelings and desires such as hunger, sexual desires, love, emotions, etc... will exist in heaven as well.

The Noble Quran talks in great details about how Paradise will have rivers from honey and milk, how much beautiful nature we will have and how we will have beautiful angels serving us in heaven.

The Noble Quran and the Old Testament seem to agree fully that (1) Heaven has materialistic things that we can feel and live with in it; and (2) We do get married in heaven and practice our sexual desires (although that's not the main point because the Noble Quran only talked very briefly about it) when we desire it.

Conclusion:

I as a Muslim who loves and respects our beloved Messenger of GOD, Jesus peace be upon him, think that the Bible is full of corruptions and fake sayings about Jesus.  I don't believe that Jesus contradicted himself by saying that.  I personally think that if indeed Jesus said that quote in Matthew 22:29-30 above, then he only meant that women are not given in marriage without seeing their husbands as the Jews used to do back then with their pre-arranged marriage culture.  Also, Jesus probably meant to say that women in heaven will not be forced into any marriage without their will.  But according to the truth, we will live in paradise in earthly bodies.   We won't have our current bodies according to Islam.  We will have bodies that look similar to Adam's which is 70 arms in height and 20 arms in width. 

We also can not take everything in the Bible so literal because it will mislead us.  In the case of Matthew 22:29-30 above it is quite obvious that we must not take the saying of Jesus so literal because it is contradicting the way GOD Almighty defined heaven from the very beginning when He created it in the Bible and in the Noble Quran.

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.
