Allah accepts only Islam as His religion; other religions are invalid

The dictatorial, totalitarian and chauvinist nature of Allah is best expressed in many Qur'anic verses which clearly declare that Islam is the one and the only religion acceptable to Him. Often, we read articles extolling the unbound tolerance of religious freedom in Islam written by Islamist apologists resident in the infidel West. They will invariably quote a handful of Meccan (in fact, only three verses) verses from the Qur’an to demonstrate the tolerance in Islam vis-à-vis other religion. What these Islamist apologists do not tell is the fact these verses have been abrogated by many later, Medina verses.

The three verses often quoted are: 2:256; 5:32, 109:6.

Let us briefly examine these three verses and their abrogation by later verses.

No compulsion in religion; the truth is clear from error...2:256

Ibn Kathir (source) says that before Islam, when an Ansar woman would not bear children who would live, she would vow that if she gave birth to a child who remained alive, she would raise him as a Jew. When Muhammad plundered the Banu An-Nadir, and forced the evacuation of Jews from Medina, some of the children of the Ansar were being raised among them (the Jews), and the Ansar said, `We will not abandon our children. So Allah revealed this verse regarding these children.

Ibn Kathir continues:

(There is no compulsion in religion), meaning, "Do not force anyone to become Muslim, for Islam is plain and clear, and its proofs and evidence are plain and clear. Therefore, there is no need to force anyone to embrace Islam. Rather, whoever Allah directs to Islam, opens his heart for it and enlightens his mind, will embrace Islam with certainty. Whoever Allah blinds his heart and seals his hearing and sight, then he will not benefit from being forced to embrace Islam.''

Sunaan Abu Dawud (hadith number 2.14.2676) further explains this context: when Muhammad expelled B. Nadir Jews he allowed these children to remain with their biological parents and not to follow the exiled Jews; i.e. he permitted the children to revert back to Islam and remain with their natural Muslim parents.

Here is the hadith

Book 14, Number 2676:

 Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: When the children of a woman (in pre-Islamic days) did not survive, she took a vow on herself that if her child survives, she would convert it a Jew. When Banu an-Nadir were expelled (from Arabia), there were some children of the Ansar (Helpers) among them. They said: We shall not leave our children. So Allah the Exalted revealed; "Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from error."

What Muhammad said was simply this: These born‑Muslim children should not be forced/coerced into Jewish religion. They must revert to Islam, the religion of truth.

Therefore, in essence, verse 2:256 really means quite the opposite of what the Islamist apologists propagate. This verse simply says that there should be no compulsion to convert a Muslim to another religion. The very next verse (2:257), by exhorting extreme hatred for the non‑Muslims, simply confirms this verity.

Here is verse 2:257:

2:257. Allâh is the Walî (Protector or Guardian) of those who believe. He brings them out from darkness into light. But as for those who disbelieve, their Auliyâ (supporters and helpers) are Tâghût [false deities and false leaders, etc.], they bring them out from light into darkness. Those are the dwellers of the Fire, and they will abide therein forever. (Quoted from the Noble Qur’an, Tr. by Hilali and Khan)

Here is verse 5:32 which most Islamist apologist love to quote to demonstrate the peaceful nature of Islam:

Killing one person except for a just cause is like slaying the whole people; saving a life is like saving the whole people...5:32

On the surface, this verse seems benign enough. What the Islamist apologists never tell is that the killing here really refers to the killing of Muslims and not human beings in general. The most authentic tafsir writer, ibn Kathir clearly writes that killing here refers to a Muslim killing another Muslim and not humanity in general (source). Next verse (5:33) advocates cruel punishment to those who dare to criticise Islam and Muhammad.

Here is verse 5:33.

5.33. The recompense of those who wage war against Allâh and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter. (Quoted from the Noble Qur’an, Tr. by Hilali and Khan)

Here is verse 109:6

To you be your way (means disbelief—ibn Kathir), to me is mine (means Islam—ibn Kathir; also see 10:41, 28:55)...109:6

Now, here is a summary of the abrogation of the above verses:

2.256 (No compulsion in religion) has been abrogated by (Fight the non‑Muslims and force them into Islam) 2:190, 2:193‑194, 5:2, 8:39, 9:5, 9:36, 9:123.

5:32 (No killing) has been abrogated by (Kill whoever criticises Muhammad and Islam) 5:33

109.6 (To you is your religion) has been abrogated by (No religion other than Islam) 3:19, 3.85 and many other similar verses.

Here are a few verses where Allah says without any confusion whatsoever that Islam is the only religion acceptable to Him. Whoever adopts any religion other than Islam is in profound error, a labeled Kafir (infidel) and must be killed when the Muslims have upper hands on them, if they do not convert to Islam or refuse to pay the jizya tax (this applies only to the Jews and the Christians). Let us read those verses.

Only Islam is the perfect guidance…2:120

Ibn Kathir (Link) writes that this verse is a stern warning to the Muslims against imitating the Jews and the Christians.

Allah prescribes that Muslims fight even if some Muslims dislike it; they must go and fight the infidels; it is good for the Muslims…2:216

This verse unabashedly proclaims gratuitous slaughter of non‑Muslims. On the interpretation of this verse, ibn Kathir writes that Allah made it compulsory for all Muslims to fight those who transgress Islam. Fighting (fighting means killing by sword—ibn Kathir) is good because fighting is followed by victory, dominance over the enemy, taking over their lands, money and offspring (source).

Islam is the religion of Allah, if one does not follow Islam Allah will have a swift account of him…3:19

In this verse Allah states that no religion from any person, except Islam, is acceptable to Him. Islam includes obeying all of the Messengers until Muhammad who finalized their commission, thus closing all paths to Allah except through Muhammad. Therefore, after Allah sent Muhammad, whoever meets Allah following a path other than Muhammad's, it will not be accepted of him. Allah will punish him for his rejection, reckon him for his denial, and torment him for defying His Book—ibn Kathir.

Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable (abrogates 2:62 and 5:69)...3:85

This day Allah perfected the religion of Islam and accepted Islam as the only religion for mankind...5:3

Many Islamic scholars believe verse 5:3 is the last verse of the Qur’an. Therefore, the injunction of this verse is valid for eternity—Islam is the only religion acceptable to Allah, all other religions are null and void.

Follow God’s straight path (that is, Islam) and no other path…6:153

On the context of this verse ibn Kathir writes that Muhammad drew with his hand a straight line on sand and said that that was his path, the straight line. He then drew two lines to the left and two lines to the right of that line and said that those were other paths. On each path there is a devil who calls to it. (Also see 42:13).

Those who do not follow Islam are deaf, blind, and the worst beasts…8:22

According to ibn Kathir both the unbelievers and the hypocrites are the same; they are deaf and dumb. (Also see 2:171, 7:179).

After the four sacred months (Rajab, Zulqad, ZulHajj, Muharram) have passed slay (fight and kill) the pagans wherever (that is, the earth in general—ibn Kathir) they are found…9:5

As per ibn Kathir, the most celebrated exegete of the Qur’an, even though this verse mentions to kill the pagans, but this verse, in general, is applicable to all the unbelievers on earth. He further elaborates the provisions of this verse in this manner:

Do not wait until you find them, seek and besiege them in their areas and forts, gather intelligence about them in various roads and fairways and force them to Islam. If they do not embrace Islam, then kill them. This verse allowed Muslims to fight the non-Muslims until they embrace Islam. These verses allowed fighting people unless and until, they embrace Islam and implement its rulings and obligations. Allah mentioned the most important aspects of Islam here, including what is less important (also see 2:190, 2:194, 5:2, 8:39, 9:36). If they repent and become believers then forgive them (source). (Note: This verse is called the verse of the sword. This verse abrogates all verses of forgiveness to the pagans. i.e., this verse cancels about 124 verses which espouse mercy, tolerance, and forgiveness to the pagans. The bold emphasis is mine).

Fight those who do not believe in Allah, or in the last Day, or in the halal food. Unbelieving people of the Book (Jews and Christians) pay Jizya tax (this is the compensation for the loss of revenue from the prohibition of the non-Muslims entry in Mecca; imposition of jizya was the compensation to make up for the loss of revenue to the Muslims—ibn Kathir) with submission (humiliation); if they do not pay jizya tax or convert to Islam then kill them (this verse stipulates that the Muslims fight, i.e. kill the people of the Books if they do not pay the jizya tax; Muslims should disgrace, humiliate and belittle the Jews and the Christians—ibn Kathir) (abrogates 2:109)...9:29

Islam is the perfect religion; it will dominate all other religions (see 48:28 and 61:9 for almost similar content)...9:33

Do not worship anything other than Allah; Islam is the only right religion (the purpose of an Islamic state)...12:40

The only religion is the religion of Allah, Islam…16:52

There is only one Allah and all must surrender to Islam...21:108

Allah proclaims Islam (the religion of truth) over all other religion (i.e., Islam is the only religion accepted by Allah; see 9:33, 61:9 for almost similar content) (Islam is superior to all the religions of the people of the earth, Arabs and non-Arabs alike, whether having certain ideologies or being atheists or idolaters—ibn Kathir)....48:28

Allah takes revenge through Muhammad

Having declared that He will accept nothing but Islam, Allah also proclaims a great retribution to those who refuse to accept Islam. Allahs vengeance has no parallel, no upper or lower limits. The all‑merciful Allah is fully obsessed with nothing but scheming of taking revenge—just for one and one reason only—it was for the sake of Muhammad. Ibn Sad writes that Muhammad took revenge for the sake of Allah (Ibn Sad, vol. I, p.430)

Here is a Quranic verse which Muhammad used to justify all his bloodshed, plunder and bedlam.

YUSUFALI: We have sent them the Truth: but they indeed practise falsehood! [Q 23.90]
 

Please read the following ahadith to gauge the depth of vengeance Muhammad possessed just to establish Allah’s dictatorship. Allah has ordered Muhammad to fight till the whole earth embraces Islam (long hadith)...(Sahih Bukhari, 1.8.387).

Muhammad used to take revenge for Allah's sake... (Sahih Bukhari, 4.56.760).

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 760: Narrated 'Aisha:

"Whenever Allah's Apostle was given the choice of one of two matters, he would choose the easier of the two, as long as it was not sinful to do so, but if it was sinful to do so, he would not approach it. Allah's Apostle never took revenge (over anybody) for his own sake but (he did) only when Allah's Legal Bindings were outraged in which case he would take revenge for Allah's Sake."

 

Allah will maim you if you forget the Quran

The following hadith tells us that Allah could be that cruel to maim a believer.

If you recite the Qur’an then forget it then you will meet Allah maimed... (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 8.1469)

Book 8, Number 1469: Narrated Sa'd ibn Ubadah: "The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: No man recites the Qur'an, then forgets it, but will meet Allah on the Day of Judgment in a maimed condition (or empty-handed, or with no excuse)"

 

Sunnah (Muhammad's words and actions) is from Allah

First, we shall read the following hadith dealing with women’s menstruation and Muhammad’s expert advice regarding sexual intercourse during this period of a woman.

Sahih Muslim, Book 003, Number 0592:

Thabit narrated it from Anas: Among the Jews, when a woman menstruated, they did not dine with her, nor did they live with them in their houses; so the Companions of the Apostle (may peace be upon him) asked The Apostle (may peace be upon him), and Allah, the Exalted revealed:" And they ask you about menstruation; say it is a pollution, so keep away from woman during menstruation" to the end (Qur'an, ii. 222). The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Do everything except intercourse. The Jews heard of that and said: This man does not want to leave anything we do without opposing us in it. Usaid b. Hudair and Abbad b. Bishr came and said: Messenger of Allah, the Jews say such and such thing. We should not have, therefore, any contact with them (as the Jews do). The face of the Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him) underwent such a change that we thought he was angry with them, but when they went out, they happened to receive a gift of milk which was sent to the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him). He (the Holy Prophet) called for them and gave them drink, whereby they knew that he was not angry with them.

The erudite translator of Sahih Muslim, ‘Abdul Hamid Siddiqi asserts that Sunnah (or hadith) is also derived from Allah. The provision of hadith then becomes obligatory to all Muslims just like the Quran. Abdul Hamid Siddiqi’s note is fairly lengthy. I shall quote only the relevant part.

 …This attitude of the holy Prophet clearly shows that the teachings of the Qur’an and the Sunnah are derived from no human agency and are all inspired by God, and therefore transcend all material or worldly considerations….(Siddiqi, 2004, pp. 210–211, foot note 508)

Allah is a male chauvinist dictator

Here is a hadith which says that a weak person (a woman) cannot be a ruler (Sahih Muslim, 20.4491).

Book 020, Number 4491:

It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Dharr who said: I said to the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him): Messenger of Allah, will you not appoint me to a public office? He stroked my shoulder with his hand and said: Abu Dharr, thou art weak and authority is a trust. and on the Day of judgment it is a cause of humiliation and repentance except for one who fulfils its obligations and (properly) discharges the duties attendant thereon.

In a footnote on this hadith the translator of Sahih Muslim confirms that an Islamic Caliph must be a male Arab (Siddiqi, 2004, p. 3.1224, footnote 2297)

Another hadith in Sunaan Abu Dawud reads (this hadith is not available online; I am quoting from the print version):

Sunaan Abu Dawud, Vol. ii, Hadith Number 2135

Qais b. Sa’d said: I went to Hirah and saw them (the people) prostrating themselves before a satrap of their, so I said: The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) has most right to have prostration made before him. When I came to the Prophet (may peace be upon him), I said: I went to al–Hirah and saw them prostrating themselves before a satrap of theirs, but you have most right, Apostle of Allah, to have (people) prostrating themselves before you. He said: Tell me, if you were to pass my grave, would you prostrate yourself before it? I said: No. He then said: Do not do so. If I were to command anyone to make prostration before another I would command women to prostrate themselves before their husbands, because of the special right over them given to husbands by Allah.

Professor Ahmad Hasan, the translator of Sunaan Abu Dawud, commenting on this hadith, writes that this shows the superiority of men over women. The wives have been commanded to obey their husbands in respect of lawful things. He also says that this tradition emphasizes the obedience of the wife to her husband (Hasan, 2003, p 2.574, footnotes 1461, 1462).

There are detailed essays on the extreme misogynist nature of Allah Please read ‘Women in Islam’ and ‘Sex and Sexuality in Islam’ to understand the anti‑women disposition of Allah.

Allah's misogyny nature has no bounds

As written before, Imam Ghazali was one of the most revered scholars of Islam. The following passages summarise a few of his Islamic ideas on women as culled from Ihya Ulum Ed‑Din, English Tr. Fazl‑ul‑Karim, 1993). Needless to say, what Ghazali writes about women in Islam fully conforms with the Qur’an and Sunnah, and therefore, entirely supported by Allah.

Imam Ghazali on women:

The most appalling narration of Ghazali's declaration of absolute superiority of men over women is written in this fashion:

"(Prophet said - if husband would be covered with pus from head to toe, and wife would lick it, even then wife's gratitude to husband wouldn't be fulfilled".

The readers should note that the above translated passage of Ihya Ulum Al—Din is from the Bengali translation of the famous book of Ghazali.(Reference: Ehiya Ulum Al Deen Vol 2 / 9 page 311, Bangla: Translated by :- M. N. M. Imdadullah  MMBA (Hons), MA, Publisher - Bangladesh Taj company Ltd. 8 Parydas Road  Dhaka 1100).

Please note that the English version of this grand book of Islam has cleverly discarded similar passages quoted (from the Bengali translation) above. In fact, the English translator writes that he has omitted certain passages which are not relevant today.

Here are a few gems (summarized) from the English translation of Ihya Ulum Al‑Din. Please note that the English version is in four volumes.

Your sexual intercourse with your wife is an act of charity. If you throw your semen in lawful things (inside a vagina), you will get rewards. (p.1.236)

Muhammad said: A prison in the corner of a house is better than a childless woman. (p.2.24)

An ugly woman with children is better than a beautiful woman without children (p.2.24)

If you see a woman in front, she is a devil. After seeing such a woman, hurry to your wife for immediate sex because your wife also becomes a devil if you do not do (immediate sex). (p.2.26)

Devil runs through your vein like the circulation of blood; so do not go to a woman without the presence of her husband. Only Muhammad had been saved from the machinations of devils. (p.2.26)

A wife’s duty is to do household chores and to satisfy her husband’s sexual appetite. (p.2.27)

The best woman is she who is beautiful and whose dower is little. (p.2.31)

Miserliness, pride and cowardice are bad for men but good for women. (p.2.31)

When marrying a girl, look for her beauty, as this will save you from fornication (p.2.31)

If it be known that a woman is barren, do not marry her marry lovely and child‑bearing women. (p.2.32)

A good woman is one who is married early at her age, who gives birth to a child without delay and who demands a small dower. (p.2.32)

Choose a woman for your semen as a vein is like an arrow. (p.2.32)

Women are prisoners in a man’s hand. Men have taken them as trusts from God and God has made their sexual parts lawful for men. (p.2.33)

Umar said: Stay at home with your wife like a boy. When the wife demands things, behave like a man. (p.2.34)

Umar said, “Act opposite to women as there is reward in opposing them.” (p.2.34)

He who becomes slave to women is ruined. If a husband acts according to the wishes of his wife, he becomes her slave and thus ruined; God has made husband the master of his wife. (p.2.34)

It is the right of a man that his wife follows him and not the other way around. (p.2.34)

Husbands are the maintainers and masters of their wives. (p.2.34)

If you disgrace your wife, your servant and your Nabati they will honor you. They (women, servants) are evil and posses little intelligence. (p.2.34)

Women are like crows; only a religious woman is like a crow with white belly among one hundred cows. (p.2.34)

Muhammad said, “Fear unchaste women because she will make you old before you grow old.” (p.2.34)

Muhammad said, “No nation prospers over which a woman rules.” (p.2.35)

Umar said: “If woman dresses well she must stay at home.” Habituate women to stay inside their homes. Women can come out of their houses only during Eid’s. (p.2.36)

If you ejaculate your semen before your wife ejaculates her semen then you are a weak man. (p.2.38)

If your father dislikes your wife then divorce her. If a woman seeks divorce from her husband without any reasons, she will not smell the fragrance of paradise. (p.2.42)

The women who seek divorce are hypocrites. (p.2.42)

A wife should not refuse her husband if he wants to enjoy her body. If the wife of a man dies while he is pleased with her, she will enter paradise. If a man wants sex, his wife must comply with him even when she is on the back of a camel. A woman cannot keep optional fast without her husband’s permission. If she does, God will not accept her fast. (p.2.43)

If she goes out of her house without his permission, the angels curse her until she returns home or till she repents. (p.2.43)

If Muhammad wanted anyone to prostrate before another, he would have ordered a woman to prostrate before her husband. (p.2.43)

When a woman stays at home, she comes closer to God. A woman’s prayer in her courtyard is more meritorious than her prayer in a mosque. (p.2.43)

A woman is like a private part. When she comes out of her house, the devil holds her high. (p.2.43)

A woman has ten private parts. When she gets married her husband covers one private part; when she dies the grave covers other nine private parts. (p.2.43)

A woman, a slave and an unbeliever is not fit to be a moral police. (p.2.186)

The devil lives in markets and bazaars. God created women as games for devil. (p.3.39)

The satisfaction of belly encourages companionship of women. (p.3.69)

Muhammad said, “There will remain no grater danger for the people after my death than women. Fear the world of women.” (p.3.87)

Muhammad said,” A woman is the string of the devil.” (p.3.87)

A woman is the best coveted of things to a man. He takes pleasures in penetrating his genital organ into female vaginal canal. Thus, vagina is the most coveted thing in a woman. (p.3.162)

The world is like an unchaste woman. The world at first treats well and then leads to destruction. The world dresses itself like an unchaste woman and calls the people towards her. (p.3.164)

Whenever she (a woman) takes the people to her house, she ruins them. (p.3.164)

The world is like an ugly old woman. The outer form is one form and its secret form is another. Its outer form is nice but its inner form is ugly and poisonous. (p.3.164)

Muhammad also said, “There will be markets in Paradise in which there will be no buy or sale, but there will be men and women. If any man will wish to have sexual intercourse with a woman, he will do it at once. The Hurs will sing in Paradise on divine purity and praise—we are most beautiful Hurs and we are for the honored husbands.” (p.4.430)

According to Muhammad, the Hurs of Paradise will be pure women—free of menstruation, urine, stool, cough and children. (p.4.430)

Here are more (selected) Islamic comments on women:

Hedaya (Tr. Charles Hamilton, 1994)

A woman is a servant and the husband is the person served …(p.47)

"Case of marriage on a condition of service from the husband.—IF ……it is not lawful that a woman should be in a situation to exact the service of her husband who is a freeman, as this would amount to a reversal of their appointed stations, for one of the requisites of marriage is, that the woman be as a servant, and the man as the person served; but if the service of the husband to the wife were to constitute her dower, it would follow that the husband is the servant and the wife as the served: and this being a violation of the requisites of marriage, is therefore illegal; but it is otherwise with the service stipulated to be performed by another free person, with that person’s consent, as this offers no violence to the requisites of the contract; and so also in the case of service of a slave, because the service performed by a slave to his wife is, in fact, performed to his master, by whose consent it is that he undertakes it; and the same with the case of tending flocks, because this is a service of a permanent nature, and admitted to be performed for wives, and therefore, does not violate the requisites of marriage; for the service of the husband to his wife, as a dower, is prohibited only as it may be degrading to the former; but the tending of flocks is not a degrading office.”

Full dower is the payment for the delivery of woman’s person. Booza meaning Genitalia arvum Mulieris--- (p.44)

"The wife entitled to her whole dower upon the consummation of the marriage or the death of the husband.—IF a person specify a dower of ten or more Dirms, and should afterwards consummate his marriage, or be removed by death, his wife, in either case, has a claim to the whole of the dower specified, because, by consummation, the delivery of the return for the dower, namely the Booza, or woman’s person,* is established, and therein is confirmed the right to the consideration, namely, the dower; and, on the other hand, by the decease of the husband the marriage is rendered complete by its completion, and consequently is so with respect to all its effects. (* Literally, Genitale arvum Mulieris)"

You can enjoy a wife by force… (p.141)

"But not if she be refractory.—IF a wife be disobedient or refractory and go abroad without her husband’s consent, she is not entitled to any support from him, until she return and make submission, because the rejection of the matrimonial restraint in this instance originates with her; but when she returns home, she is then subject to it, for which reason she again becomes entitled to her support as before. It is otherwise where a woman, residing in the house of her husband, refuses to admit him to the conjugal embrace, as she is entitled to maintenance, notwithstanding her opposition, because being then in his power, he may, if he please, enjoy her by force.(*Dirms have varied in their value at different times, from twenty to twenty-five passing current for a Deenar. The sum here mentioned is from about eighteen to twenty-two pounds sterling)"

Maintenance of a wife is the custody for the purpose of enjoyment… (p.141)

Women are stupid…5.4003

Perhaps, the final words of Allah's misogynist nature have been summed up in the following hadith, narrated by none other than Aisha, Muhammad’s dearest child‑bride.

'Aisha said, "I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women.”…Sahih Bukhari 7.72.715

Volume 7, Book 72, Number 715:
Narrated 'Ikrima:
Rifa'a divorced his wife whereupon 'Abdur Rahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. 'Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah's Apostle came, 'Aisha said, "I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!" When 'Abdur Rahman heard that his wife had gone to the Prophet, he came with his two sons from another wife. She said, "By Allah! I have done no wrong to him but he is impotent and is as useless to me as this," holding and showing the fringe of her garment, 'Abdur-Rahman said, "By Allah, O Allah's Apostle! She has told a lie! I am very strong and can satisfy her but she is disobedient and wants to go back to Rifa'a." Allah's Apostle said, to her, "If that is your intention, then know that it is unlawful for you to remarry Rifa'a unless Abdur-Rahman has had sexual intercourse with you." Then the Prophet saw two boys with 'Abdur-Rahman and asked (him), "Are these your sons?" On that 'Abdur Rahman said, "Yes." The Prophet said, "You claim what you claim (i.e.. that he is impotent)? But by Allah, these boys resemble him as a crow resembles a crow,"
