Another point of view for our consideration

SALAT
By Mirghani Hamed (e-mail [email protected])

Salam to all.
This is a text about salat. It is not purely my own work but rather a result of the blessed sharing of knowledge and ideas and thoughts. We ask God to increase our knowledge to help us keep on the way till we meet with Him
In 1184,85 we read about a messenger by the name Shuaib, sent to his people with the following

<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT 0px; PADDING-LEFT 5px">1. To serve God alone (a3budul lah)

2. Not to give short measure to weight no matter how it seems to cause prosperity. Its final result is terrible.

3. Not to withhold from the people the things which are their due.

4. Not to commit evil in the land ending with mischief on it.
   </BLOCKQUOTE>
   The same story is repeated in 26176-190.
   Their reaction to this which is mentioned in 1187, says
   "Ya shuaib, a salawatuka tamuruka an natruka ma ya3budu aba~ana aw an naf3ala fi amwalina ma nashaa/ O shuaib do your salawat command you that we LEAVE WHAT OUR FATHERS SERVED, and that WE DO WITH OUR PROPERTIES WHAT WE WANT. Understanding this word (salawat) as a ritual prayer would, with no doubt, cause confusion and would make this passage very unclear. As this was revealed to the Arabs at the time of the messenger, it is impossible to think that they were confused and did not know what "salawat" is? So, what is the problem? What does this word really mean in Arabic? Before having to answer this, let us go and have a look at 911,12. The first part of this chapter (9) and good part of the previous chapter deals with a specific group of people who disbelieved. They had an oath with the believers. We understand that, while they were on an oath with the believers, they mocked to expel the messenger and started a campaign against him (913, 830) Those people were given a period of time to re-think, although their position is quite clear. " But if they repent and wa aqamus salata wa atuz zakata then they are your brothers in Deen (system) Thus do We explain the signs in detail to those who understand." 911 "but if they violate their oath after their covenant and attack your Deen,,- fight the chiefs of disbelieve/rejection as they respect no oaths that they may be restrained." 912 We see that in 911/12 violating the oath and covenant stands opposite to iqamatus salat. So what is salat? What does SALAT in Arabic mean? SALAT means commitment. In the Book it refers to upholding/observing God?s limits. We can see clearly the link between commitment and observing of limits. Here is the definition of the word "commitment" in English taken from Longmans Dictionary.
   Commitment Responsibility or promise to follow certain beliefs or a certain course of action. The state of being committed; deeply felt loyalty to a particular aim, belief, ..etc.
   Every system requires commitment otherwise it fails.
   So, in 1184-87, Shuaib was offering his people another direction in life (other than the inherited) with the One True God on it to be followed. These new commitments are causing trouble to their whole system of life.
   They cried " O Shuaib, do your commitments (this new set of action and behavior) command you that we leave off what our fathers served and that we leave off doing what we like with our property"?
   Now let us go back and check verses 911 and 912. We see that it is; -if they maintain commitment and approach purification (being committed, leads to purification). And not violate their oath and covenant.
   In 835 we read about their commitment to destroy/damage (mukaa) and to turn people away from the Path (tasdiya) (check 834, and 836).
   Other related meanings
   To follow close (as if feared to lose the followed just as the little kid attached to his mother in the market place, upholding part of her cloth in fear of losing her) represents one of the meanings derived from commitment/salat. One committed to a specific cause is its follower.
   Meeting, is also a possible meaning of this word, as it (meeting) requires that two parts or more come together.
   Support carries the notion of attachment, link and connection, which are all possible meanings of this word. This defines its significance. A follower of a particular belief is its supporter as well.
   Analysis of some verses with the word SALAT and other related verses
   "Recite what has been revealed to you from/of the Book and aqimis salat, for salat restrains/prevents from shameful and evil deeds (fahshaa and munkar) and keeping God in mind is greater and God knows what you do." 2945
   Here we read that SALAT RESTRAINS /PREVENTS FROM fahisha and munkar (shameful and evil deeds) Upholding commitments and/or Following God closely on the Path or observing His limits prevents from shameful and evil deed. Fulfilling a specific ritual at certain times does not prevent from shameful deeds and evil. Millions who have been observing their regular prayers, have been also committing gross sins and violations of basic orders. It is being committed and observing commitments that prevents from the shameful deeds and evil as observing Gods limits and following Him closely stands opposite to following Satan?s footsteps "O you who have believed, follow not Satans footsteps; and he who follows Satans footsteps (let them know) that he commands SHAMEFUL AND EVIL DEEDS (fahisha and munkar) and were it not for Gods grace and mercy, He would not have purified any of you (ma zak ka) but God purifies who wills and God hears and knows everything." 2421
   As we can see the above verse 2421 stands opposite to 2945.
   Following Satan leads to shameful and evil deeds.
   Following God closely prevents from shameful and evil deeds.
   The other assertion in 2945 states; " wala dhikrul lahi akbar.." which I translate as keeping God on mind is greater.
   Keeping God on mind is greater as following close and observing His limits (as means) leads to Keeping God on mind.
   Just to remind that the concept and meaning of DHIKRUL LAH is greater that lip service or repeated Words. Dhikrul alah is process that keeps going on as long as we live. So KEEPING GOD IN MIND is the Goal/Aim for SALAT which is the means here.
   In the same lane of this understanding stands the following pair of verses
   "But after them followed a posterity who lost SALAT and followed after lusts, they will surely to face destruction." 1959
   "Except whose who repent and believe and work righteousness; for these will enter the Garden and will not be wronged in the least." 1960
   And;
   But after them followed a posterity that inherited the Book, but they chose the vanities of this world, saying " we will be forgiven." And if similar vanity came their way they would again seize them. Was not the covenant of the Book taken from them that they say not about God but the Truth and study what is in the Book? But best for whose who fear God is the home of the hereafter. Will you not understand? 7169
   And those who uphold the Book and maintain commitment/obligation we shall not cause the reward of the righteous to perish. 7170
   In the first set (1959,60) we read about a following of lusts. The corresponding idea in 7169 to Following of lusts is represented in " they chose the vanities of this world" and their persistence on this " and if a similar vanity came their way they would again seize it". It is important to notice that these people who chose the vanities of this world actually inherited the Book. But it obvious that they did not choose to uphold it and maintain commitments in relation to this Book (its teaching). The next verse (7170) confirms this as it speaks about those who uphold the Book and maintain commitments, as opposite to those mentioned in the previous verse (7169) who, although inherited the Book, they chose the vanities of this world.
   So, following Satans steps is no good as he (Satan) commands shameful and evil deeds (2421). This results in the losing of SALAT and the following of lusts (1959) and determines the choosing of the vanities of this world. But, following God closely, that is being committed to that course of life (iqamatus salat) prevents from shameful and evil deeds (2945). God commands what is good. Ponder over the following verses 1690, " Verily, God commands justice, the doing of good (righteousness) and giving to kith and kin, and He forbids shameful and evil deeds (yanha anil fahsha wal munkar ) and injustice; He instructs you that you may keep (this) in mind."
   1991, "And fulfil the covenant of God when you make the covenant and break not your oaths after you have confirmed them, when you have made God your surety; for God knows all that you do."
   Here we have another set of verses to give more insight to the word salat;
   "Verily, God and His forces (malaika) support the announcer/prophet. O you who have believed, support him and surrender in full measure." 3356
   This is the verse that give credit, according to the traditional understanding, to the well established concept that we have to do SALAT (ritual prayer???) on the prophet repeating the phrase SALA ALLAHU ALEYHI WASALAM.
   It is obvious that the verse speaks about ACTION and not a LIP SERVICE. It says "God and His forces yusaloona alan nabiy!?" God and his forces do not keep saying SALALAHU ALA NABIY and ask the believers to do the same. God and His forces support the prophet a well as those who believed with him;
   "He it is Who supports you and His forces in order to bring you out from darknesses into light; and He is full of mercy to the believers." 3343
   And He asked the believers to support the prophet in his mission, that is, to support Gods cause. (3356) This is the obvious and logical relation "O you who have believed, if you help (the cause of) God, He will help you and plant your feet firmly" 477 see also 7157, 381, 940, 874 and many other verses throughout the Book. So, it is very simple idea. As we mentioned above, To be a follower of a certain belief requires to be its supporter as well. In other words, the notion SUPPORTER is another aspect of the word FOLLOWER and vice versa. In general, the whole idea of submission to God is represented as a Path/Way/Course. These words/notions are not chosen by chance and they represent a deep and live concept. We follow God closely on that Path focusing on Him and keeping Him in mind and thus purifying ourselves. We do not follow God on the Path/Way physically but by means of observing His limits and maintaining commitment. The idea is very simple, powerful, and live. Being aware of God = fearing Him = being committed to His cause (following close) = keeping Him in mind = purifying the self. 3518 "Nor can a bearer of a burden bear anothers burden. If one heavily laden should call another to bear his load, not the least portion of it can be carried (by the other) even though he be nearly related. You can warn only those who FEAR THEIR LORD UNSEEN AND (WHO) OBSERVE LIMITS/MAINTAIN COMMITMENT and whoever PURIFIES himself do so for himself and to God is the return)
   Observing God?s limits and/or commitments requires fearing God. Gods fearing is practically and logically linked to observing his limits. In this verse as well as many others, we see the strong link between COMMITMENT and PURIFICATION. So, SALAT is commitment where commitment is the natural result and/or the outcome of the relation God and man. There are other words in Arabic which are synonyms for the word Salat (as lizoom/iltizam), but I think that the significance of this word lays in the fact that it links many related ideas within Gods system and it carries the notion of movement (contra to stagnation), and of an alive relation between the follower and what is followed. The word iltizam does not carry the idea of movement. It is more appropriate in use as attachment.
   The relation between READING (quraan) and COMMITMENT (salat)
   We know that the Quran/Reading is the Book revealed to Gods messenger with the DUTY/ OBLIGATION/ COMMITMENT (2885) to reveal it to people as it was not a private communication (619). The fact that this aspect of the Book (Reading) is emphasized all over the Book and it is the one, with Which, it is most popular makes us think deeply on its significance. So, having this accent on Reading, repeated to us many times, we can clearly identify it as a book that is to be read on regular basis. In the following verses we will GW shed more light GW on this relation between commitment and the Reading. 17106, "and (it is) a Reading which we have divided (into parts) that you read it to men at intervals, we have sent it down at stages." 2885, " Verily He who has ordained/made obliged the Reading on you will return you back to meeting. Say my Lord knows best who brings true guidance and who is manifest error." 2791, " I have been commanded to serve the Lord of this city who has made it forbidden and to Him belong all things and I have been commanded to be of those who submit. And to rehearse the Reading (atluwal quraan), and if any accept guidance, they do it for the good of their own souls and if any astray, say " I am only a warner." 7204, "When the Reading (quraan) is read (quria) listen to it with attention, and hold your peace; that you may receive mercy." 8421, "And when the Reading is read to them they do not pay respect/show admiration/feel deep inner submission." 619, "And this Reading has been revealed to me to warn you with it and to whom it may reach.." 4126, "The unbelievers say - Do not listen to this Reading and talk at random in the midst (of its reading) that you may gain the upper hand.-" 4629, " Behold, We turned towards you a company of Jinns to listen to the Reading and when they stood in the presence thereof, they said, -listen in silence- AND WHEN THE READING WAS OVER (fa lama qudiya) they returned to their people to warn them." From all these verses (and many similar ones) we see that the aspect READING of the Book has been emphasized. This is due to the fact that warning is through reading. Reading is the main method of its delivery to people. We can see from the above verses that the word is about an organized session(s) dedicated to Reading Gods Book as means of reminding people and delivering the message to them.
   Please pay attention to the words (falama qudiya/when it (the Reading) is over) which puts great accent on an organized session with a beginning and end.
   The phrase (lama qudiya/when it is finished/done/over) is mentioned in relation to SALAT in 4103, 6210.
   I personally believe that they are two sessions dedicated to this purpose (Reading). Mentioned by names (salatul isha and salatul fajr). I believe verses 1778 and 11114 refer to this.
   The best connection to SALAT and READING
   SALATUL FAJR/ DAWN DUTY/OBLIGATION = QURANUL FAJR/ DAWN READING
   Add to this 17 106 up to 17110 where we read about having the moderate voice for Reading.
   So, these sessions for reading are SALAT (obligation/commitment).
   So, SALAT is simply used in this case to cover the meaning of Reading putting an emphasis on the fact that Reading is an obligation/duty that has to be done. Just as when the word FAHISHA which means SIN can be used for ZINA which is literally ADULTERY to put an accent on the fact that adultery IS a great sin.
   What I wan to say is that in God`s system, Reading is a Commitment.
   Just as Jihad does not literally mean fighting, but fighting is one form of Jihad the same goes for Zakat which does not mean literally spending but spending is a form of purification. Zina/adultery does not literally mean sin/evil deed but adultery IS a great sin. I hope the above comparisons explains this understanding.
   So, salat in this sense is simply a commitment done by the believers.
   Another important link between Reading and SALAT is the fact that for reading two words are used QARA? and TLW.
   Tilawat means to follow close/come after. When we read (do tilawat) we follow the sequence of ideas and notions presented in what is read. Salat is to follow close these ideas in life.
   May be one needs years of work and contemplation to really understand the significance of reading (in general and in particular) to the human prosperity and development.
   Reading is simply one of the highest human intellectual and mental activities.

Since early history the priest class has been assisting the upper ruling classes in exploiting the population or humanity of any small tribe or large kingdoms. This is their ancient, shameless, well tried means of livelihood. As old as the business of prostitution itself, at least the prostitute does not destroy a persons whole life and keeps him in a trance to serve the rich families.

To cheat humanity, to lead them astray, to keep them in the dark is the profession of this two legged parasite. The Monarchy, the Dictators, the Fascists is not a single person rule but consists of a gang of rich exploiting families who work behind the curtains. Like a clocks face where one sees only the two hands and get ones bearing of the time without bothering to see the intricate mechanical machine work behind it, so do the people of a society only see the King or the Dictator and obey their commands and decisions. No one takes a glimpse of the game behind the curtain. This whole machine is kept well oiled by the people prodded on by the Mullahs/Immams and the clergy of their beliefs as well. The potential force driving the whole works comes from the people.

The resources of a nation do not get equally divided among all the people living in such countries as Pakistan. The greatest share goes to the ruling class while the deviant religious clergy also collects a good part of its share of the loot. The people are kept deprived and indulged in worthless meaning less chores to waste their precious time, when their labor time is over. Meaningless worship, going to tombs of the dead for worship and begging them to do something for them.

Kept under deprivation and partial starvation conditions they are very prone to the incidents and stories of past history that the Mullah narrates, providing them with false hopes. Meanwhile, the intelligent youth, which have great talents and aptitudes remain wasted for lack of money and resources to groom their abilities. Most turn out to be like their parents or worse. This is why education was discouraged by the Mullah/Immams among the Muslims because the upper classes wanted the clergy to dissuade the masses from education and learning. Their duty was to merely labor and serve the elite for a meager pay till their backs broke or they dropped dead.
The clergy is nothing more than charlatans, agents and brokers for the rich gang of families of Kings and Dictators. They do not believe in Allah, the exalted Mohammad or the Quran at all, otherwise they would never have indulged in the sins which they commit daily basis. There must be a few out their who refrain from using the Deen for such purposes but a great of them who attain leadership positions are the ones who are the enemies of Humanity and Allah. Khomeini and Maudoodi types stem from such gangs. This is why they refrain from preaching the Quran and have designed the Hadeeth books so that they may legitimize their role and their masters role as ordained by Allah. Great liers,cheaters and hypocrits.

Bukhari is the shameless person

Ghalta Bukhari
Most of the references given here belong to Bukhari published by Madina
Publishing Company, Karachi, 1982, Printer Hamid & Co. The translator is
"Maulana" Abdul Hakim Khan Shahjahan Puri.
At the outset, please know that a great scholar of Islam, Ubaidullah Sindhi
concedes, "I cannot teach Bukhari hadith to any youngster, or to a
non-Muslim
because of shame" (Preface to Ilham-ur-Rahman). Let's explore why he said
this...
Mahmood bin Rabe narrates, "I still remember when I was five years old, the
Holy Prophet rinsed his mouth and then poured the water into mine" (Kitabul
Ilm vol.2, hadith 77). Could the Exalted Prophet hold any human being at
that
level of inferiority?
Kitabul Ilm ahadith 91, 92, 93 states The Prophet's cheeks turned red, his
face became red with anger . . . and so on. This statement is absolutely at
variance with the Prophet's character, and appears to have been fabricated
to
defame him. This is only one of the hundreds of such narratives that
portray
him to be a man of temper. The Holy Prophet, in fact, was a cool-minded
person
with exceptional self-control.
Prophet Solomon boasted that he would impregnate one hundred women in one
night, but only one woman became pregnant and gave birth to a half-formed
child (Bukhari, Book of Nikah 3110). This tragedy is reported elsewhere to
have occurred because Solomon did not say "Insha-Allah" before going to his
hundred wives.
The (Exalted) Messenger used to visit all nine of his wives every night
(Bukhari, Book of Nikah 352). On the other hand, Bukhari repeatedly
narrates
that the Holy Prophet used to stand at prayers all night. So much so that
his
feet used to swell.
The Holy Messenger used to have intercourse with all of his wives in one
hour
of the day and night (without taking a bath) and these (wives) were eleven.
The narrator tries to preempt an objection by stating that he (the Holy
Prophet) had the (sexual) power of 30 men (Bukhari, Book of Bath 1189).
The
Mulla mind has so terribly affected our masses that even derogatory
statements
such as this become praiseworthy. The Holy Prophet was a perfect guide to
humanity. He was not a man of unbridled desire. The women who lived in his
household were primarily there for shelter. Only a contemptuous mind can
perceive the Mothers of Believers as objects of pleasure for the Prophet.
Bukhari highlights the above hadith by putting a special heading "to have
sex
with many women with only one bath."
The Prophet said that the best man amongst his followers is the one who has
the greatest number of wives (Bukhari, Book of Nikah 352). The Qur'an
(4913)
tells us that the best person is the one who is best in conduct.
The Holy Prophet asked, "Who will buy this slave from me?" Hazrat Naeem
bought
him for 800 Darham (Bukhari, Kitabul Ikrah p.669). Did the Prophet sell
slaves?!
Aisha said to the Prophet, "Won't you rather graze your camel onto a tree
whose leaves have not yet been grazed?" Arwa bin Zubair said that Aisha
meant
she was the only virgin the Prophet had married (Bukhari, Book of Nikah
355).

The Prophet disapproved of his companion Jabir's plan to marry a widow and
asked, "Why did you not marry a virgin so that you played with her and she
played with you?" (reference same). The Holy Prophet was extremely
compassionate to widows and divorced women.
Hazrat Ali stated that he suffered from "jiryan" (drainage of prostate
secretions) constantly (Bukhari, Kitabul Ilm p.150). This fictitious
condition
is widely believed in the East to take away manhood completely. Someone is
trying to dishonor the great mujahid of Islam.
The sun rises between the two antlers of Satan (Bukhari 2134).
Prophet Abraham lied three times (Bukhari, Book of Nikah 357). After
insulting the Patriarch of Faith, the narrator goes on to justify the
accusation with lame arguments.
After the fall of Khyber, people described the beauty of Safia Bint Hui,
the
new bride of a slain enemy soldier. The Prophet chose her for himself. On
the
way to Madina he stopped and had intercourse with her. His companions did
not
know if she was a wife or a concubine. Later, a veil was drawn between her
and
the men-folk and they came to know that she was a wife (Bukhari, Book of
Sales
and Book of Nikah 359). Elsewhere, the narrator of the wicked story states
that Safia was initially given to Wahia Kulbi, but because of her beauty,
the
Prophet chose her for himself, and asked Wahia to pick another woman.
v An important reminder The Qur'an (474) ordains that prisoners of war
are
to be freed either for ransom or as an act of kindness. There is no third
option. How could the Prophet and his holy companions enslave human beings?
The Prophet said, "Bad luck, misfortune and doom can exist in a wife, a
home
and a horse" (Bukhari, Book of Nikah 360).
"After my time, the greatest tribulation for men will be women" (Bukhari,
Book
of Nikah 361).
The Prophet said to a man, "I make you the owner of this woman because you
can
recite some Surahs of the Qur'an" (Bukhari, Book of Nikah 369).
"A woman presented herself to the Prophet. He intently gazed at her from
head
to toe and then lowered his head" (meaning she did not interest him)
(Bukhari,
Book of Nikah 371).
Have you noted the degradation of women in the above five ahadith? Could
these
be the words and deeds of the Holy Prophet? The Qur'an testifies that the
Exalted Prophet was the best in conduct (684) and a model for all mankind
(3321).
When the Prophet married Aisha, she was 6 years old, and the marriage was
consummated when she was 9 (and he was 54) (Bukhari, Book of Nikah 375).
On
the other hand, the Qur'an ties marriage to adulthood and mental maturity
by
declaring marriage a solemn covenant (421). There is strong historical
evidence contrary to Bukhari, but our Mulla loves nothing but trash of this
kind. The Holy Prophet never did anything against the Qur'an. "His
character
was the Qur'an," (Hazrat Aisha).
I saw that most of those entering the gate of hellfire were women (Bukhari,
Book of Nikah 397).
Fitna (tribulation) is in the East (Bukhari, Book of Talaq 3132). We
seriously doubt that the Holy Prophet, called the "mercy for the worlds" by
Allah, could confine his vision to East or West.
Aisha said to the Prophet, "Ah! My head is bursting." He said, "I wish it
did." Aisha responded "You want me to die so that you can spend the next
night with another wife" (Bukhari, Book of Medicine, vol.3).
Run from the leper as you run from the lion (Bukhari, Book of Medicine
3259).
Against this see the contradiction in several sources "There is no such
thing
as a contagious disease."
A man inquired, "We earn income from these bondwomen, (other narratives
mention prostitution) so can we do coitus interruptus with them?" The
Prophet
said, "There is no sin in doing that" (Kitabul Qadr 3543). The most famous
Mulla of the 20th century, Maudoodi, comments on this hadith that it is
alright for a master to marry off a slave girl to another while using her
for
all personal services (except sex) (Tafhim 1340).
Some people got sick in Madina. The Prophet advised them to drink camel's
urine and milk. After they became well, they killed a shepherd. The Prophet
ordered that their hands and feet be chopped off and their eyes enucleated.
They were laid on burning sand. When they asked for water it was denied
them.
So much so that they tasted sand until they died (Kitabul Mahrabain and
Kitabut Tib p.254). Dear Reader, could the compassionate and merciful
Prophet
order torture on human beings? Is it possible that the narrator of this
hadith
wants to portray the Holy Prophet as barbaric? Could this narrator be a
true
Muslim?
Seeing a black woman in a dream is the sign of an oncoming epidemic
(Kitabul
Ta'abir). Alas, the poor woman! Here comes more...
The Prophet's wives awoke late one morning. He said, "Many women who are
dressed up in this world will be raised unclothed in the Hereafter"
(Kitabul
Fatan 371.
Some Muslims sided with Mushrikeen and idolaters and invited them to attack
the Prophet! (Kitabul Fatan 3723). The Qur'an mentions all of the Holy
companions as staunch believers (874) with whom Allah was pleased (9100).
The Exalted Prophet said, "I will be the first one to regain consciousness
in
Qiamat, but I will find prophet Moses holding the foot of the Throne of God
(Hadith 1750 p.784). This hadith has obviously been contrived by some
non-Muslim to indicate the superiority of Prophet Moses over Mohammad (SA).
I was walking outside and suddenly saw the angel of Hira sitting on a
throne
that filled the earth and the sky. I was terrified so much that I was about
to
fall to the ground (Hadith 471 p.224). The Exalted Prophet was the most
courageous person the planet has ever seen and angels are not fond of
playing
tricks with prophets.
Ali Murtaza and Fatima prayed only when they could get up from sleep. The
Prophet rebuked them, "Man is more contentious than all other things"
(Kitabul
Aetesam).
The Prophet allowed Mohammad bin Muslima to kill a non-Muslim, Kaab bin
Ashraf, through deception (Kitabul Jihad 2134).
The Prophet used to become very restless and frightened whenever he saw the
sky overcast (Bukhari, Beginning of Creation 2213). The Holy Prophet
preached
against omens and superstitions and was a man of great courage.
Hoors (beauties of heaven) will be full-breasted and free of menstruation
(Bukhari, Beginning of Creation 2225).
v Important Note Hoor is plural in Arabic meaning "intelligent and
righteous
companions". Ahwar is the male gender and haoora is the female. The promise
of
such companions in Paradise is referred to in the Holy Qur'an 4454 and
5220.
For centuries, our historians and Imams have portrayed hoors only as
voluptuous women of Paradise.
The hellfire complained to Allah, "One part of me is eating the other
part."
So, the hellfire was allowed two breaths - one in summer and one in winter.
That is how you see the change of seasons (Bukhari, Beginning of Creation
2231).
Azan, (the call to prayer), puts Satan to flight, expelling gas as he runs
away (Bukhari Beginning of Creation 2237).
Satan rests at night in your noses (Bukhari, Beginning of Creation 2241).
A rooster sees angels, and a donkey sees Satan (Bukhari, Beginning of
Creation
2213).
Rats are the lost tribe of Israel because they drink not the camel's milk,
but
drink goat's milk (Bukhari, Beginning of Creation 2244). The camel was
prohibited as a food source for the Israelites.
The above statements need no comment except that only a foolish mind can
accept them as coming from the wisest man the planet has ever known.
Five animals are sinful, so kill them even in Makkah rat, scorpion, eagle,
crow, and a biting dog (Bukhari, Beginning of Creation 2245).
The Prophet ordered the killing of dogs (Bukhari, Beginning of Creation
2247). Elsewhere it says the killing of all black dogs was ordered.
Woman was created from the rib so she will always remain crooked. Leave her
crooked (Bukhari, Beginning of Creation 2251). This is a Biblical
statement.
Later, it adds and reap advantage. The Qur'an does not state that woman was
created from a rib.
Prophet Job was bathing. Locusts of gold started raining on him (Kitabul
Anbia).
Mamoona said that she gazed at the Prophet taking a bath after intercourse,
until she saw him wash his private parts (Bukhari, The Book of Bath 1193).
The Prophet declared that modesty is a part of faith. Modesty and faith are
tied together. However, for centuries our Mullas have been repeating,
"There
is no shame in religion." Many a woman has been dishonored on this
assumption.
A hadith was made up in the name of Hazrat Aisha praising Ansari women for
asking questions without concern for modesty or shame. To our Imams and
Mullas, questions of religion comprise in great part of sex, bath,
menstruation, concubines, multi-marriages, divorce, and the like. Witness
another example of shamelessness
Abu Hurairah reported, "When tips of the genitalia meet, and the man sits
between the woman's legs and pushes, a bath becomes obligatory" (Bukhari
195,
chapter 201). Thanks for the details!
Aisha said, "The Prophet used to place a pillow in my lap even though I
would
be menstruating, and then he would recite the Qur'an" (Bukhari, Book of
Bath).
Can even an ordinary Muslim, do this?!
If the Prophet wanted to have intercourse with a menstruating wife, he
ordered
her to tie a loincloth even though the menstruation would be at its peak.
Then
he had intercourse. Whoever has concocted this hadith adds a contrary
statement Aisha said, "No one of you has as much control over his desire
as
the Prophet had!" (The Book on Menstruation 198, chapter 207).
Abu Hurairah narrates that the Prophet said, "I was praying. Satan came in
front of me and tried to force me to break my prayers. Allah gave me
control
over him and I threw him down. I thought of tying him with a pillar so that
you could see him in the morning (Bukhari 1469, chapter 766). According to
another hadith, which agrees with the Qur'an, there is a Satan (temptation)
within each person.
Fasting castrates (Bukhari 1685). No comments.
Aisha relates, "The Prophet used to have intercourse with us and kissed us
while he was fasting." Then she shied away smiling (Bukhari 2691).
Khola bint Hakeem presented herself to the Prophet. Aisha exclaimed, "The
woman does not feel ashamed of saying this!" However, the Prophet started
receiving a revelation and Aisha complained, "O' Messenger of Allah! I see
that your Lord rushes to fulfill your desires" (Bukhari, Kitabun Nikah
p.67).
Here, some criminal is trying to create doubt in the Holy Revelation.
The summary of hadith #309 is that an angel writes a person's fate while
he/she is in the mother's womb, whether it will be a male or female, good
or
bad. Money, age, death, etc. are also predestined. Dear Reader, no wonder
that
thinking minds ask why then it was necessary to reveal Allah's Guidance!
Now begins the Book of Salat (in Bukhari)
Hadith #339 states that in Makkah the roof of the Prophet's house ripped
itself apart and in descended the angel Gabriel. "My breast was then opened
up
and washed with the water of Zam Zam. Then a platter of gold filled with
faith
and wisdom was poured into my chest, which was then closed. Then the angel
held my hand and took me straight to the heavens." Please note here that
Meraj, or "ascension," is being described and there is no mention of
Jerusalem. What about the Centaur, "Al-Burraq"! And if faith and wisdom
were
surgically poured into the chest of the Holy Prophet doesn't he cease to be
a
model for humanity? Other hadith state the Holy Prophet was sleeping at Umm
Hani's house during this event, a covert slander.
In the same book, in hadith #339, you find the story of Moses advising the
Prophet time and again that he return to God to reduce the number of daily
prayers (from 50 to 5). It appears that some Judaic mind is trying to prove
the superiority of Moses to Mohammad. It is also to be remembered that
Allah
is Omnipresent. He is not confined to the heavens. So, someone going to
meet
with Him there is a non-Qur'anic concept. Surah Asra 1760 makes it clear
that
it was a dream of the Prophet which became a test for people.
People told Aisha (the mother of believers) that Salat becomes null and
void
if a dog, a donkey, or a woman comes in front. Syedah Aisha said, "You made
us
dogs" (#484).
The Messenger of Allah addressed his wife Safia as "O' you bald-headed
perished one!" (Bukhari, Kitabut Talaq p.143).
Dear Reader, many of the passages in this book are disturbing. We have
copied
them with a heavy heart. This work has been undertaken so that our younger
generation does not think of these insults as a part of Islam. It is
