Run! Muslims, Run!!
07 May, 2008
Whenever Muslims are confronted with quotations from the Quran or
Ahadith, they immediately counter with excuses. Often they claim we,
the ex-Muslims and non-Muslims, have failed to understand the true
meaning of a certain verse of the Quran or a specific hadith. This
time, I will not interpret any of those Islamic teachings but merely
quote from their holy books and the explanation made by the
authentic Islamic scholars.
At the end, however, I will ask one simple question.
Quran 004.024
YUSUFALI: Also (prohibited are) women already married,
except those whom your right hands possess:
Thus hath Allah ordained (Prohibitions) against you: Except for
these, all others are lawful, provided ye seek (them in
marriage) with gifts from your property,- desiring chastity, not
lust, seeing that ye derive benefit from them, give them their
dowers (at least) as prescribed; but if, after a dower is
prescribed, agree Mutually (to vary it), there is no blame on you,
and Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.
PICKTHAL: And all married women (are
forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands
possess. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto
you are all beyond those mentioned, so that ye seek them with your
wealth in honest wedlock, not debauchery. And those of whom ye
seek content (by marrying them), give unto them their portions as
a duty. And there is no sin for you in what ye do by mutual
agreement after the duty (hath been done). Lo! Allah is ever
Knower, Wise.
SHAKIR: And all married women except those
whom your right hands possess (this is) Allah's
ordinance to you, and lawful for you are (all women) besides
those, provided that you seek (them) with your property, taking
(them) in marriage not committing fornication. Then as to those
whom you profit by, give them their dowries as appointed; and
there is no blame on you about what you mutually agree after what
is appointed; surely Allah is Knowing, Wise.
Dr. MUHAMMAD TAQI-UD-DIN AL-HILALI and Dr. MUHAMMAD MUHSIN KHAN
:Also (forbidden are) women already married,
except those (captives and slaves) whom your right hands
possess. Thus has Allâh ordained for you. All others are
lawful, provided you seek (them in marriage) with Mahr (bridal
money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage)
from your property, desiring chastity, not committing illegal
sexual intercourse, so with those of whom you have enjoyed sexual
relations, give them their Mahr as prescribed; but if after a Mahr
is prescribed, you agree mutually (to give more), there is no sin
on you. Surely, Allâh is Ever AllKnowing, AllWise.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Allah said,
[وَالْمُحْصَنَـتُ مِنَ النِّسَآءِ إِلاَّ مَا مَلَكْتَ أَيْمَـنُكُمْ]
(Also (forbidden are
women already married, except those whom your right hands
possess.)
The Ayah means, you are prohibited from marrying women who
are already married,
[إِلاَّ مَا مَلَكْتَ أَيْمَـنُكُمْ]
(except those whom your right hands possess)
except those whom you acquire through
war, for you are allowed such women after making sure they are not
pregnant.
Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri said, "We
captured some women from the area of Awtas who were already
married, and we disliked having sexual relations with them because
they already had husbands. So, we asked the Prophet about this
matter, and this Ayah was revealed,
[وَالْمُحْصَنَـتُ مِنَ النِّسَآءِ إِلاَّ مَا مَلَكْتَ أَيْمَـنُكُمْ]
(Also (forbidden are) women already married, except those whom
your right hands possess).
Consequently, we had sexual relations with these women.''
This is the wording collected by At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa'i, Ibn Jarir
and Muslim in his Sahih. Allah's statement,
[كِتَـبَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ]
(Thus has Allah ordained for you)
means, this prohibition was ordained for you by Allah.
Therefore, adhere to Allah's Book, do not transgress His set
limits, and adhere to His legislation and decrees.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Abridged by a group of scholars under the
supervision of Shaykh Saifur-Rahman Al-Mubarakpuri, Published by
Darussalam, Riyadh, Saudia Arabia.
Sahih Muslim: Book of Marriage
“Abu Said Al-khudri narrated that at the Battle of Hunain, the
Mesenger of Allah sent an army to Autas and encountered the enemy
and fought with them. Having overcome them
and taken them as captives, the Companions of the Messenger of
Allah seemed to refrain from having intercourse with captive women
because of their husbands being polytheists. Then Allah, the
most High, revealed: “And women already married, except those whom
your right hands possess...” (i.e., they were lawful for them when
their Iddah period came to an end.)”(Quran 4:24)
Sahih Muslim, compiled by Al-Hafiz Zakiuddin Abdul-Azim Al-Mundhiri,
published by Darrussalam Publishers, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Suppose that those teachings are of a different religion and you, a
Muslim or a Muslimah, live in the 7th century. Assuming that you are
one of those captives:
Would you enjoy watching your wife, sister or mother being raped by her captors, while you are shackled with a chain nearby?
If an answer to the question is yes, you surely are a perfect
Muslim.
However, if your answer is no:
Run! Muslims, Run!!
Run away from Islam as fast as you can

Comment
Rethinking the Slogan: “Islam is the Answer for Every Problems. The present Islamic revival, which has captured the hearts of a large segment of Muslims in our societies, introduced many slogans into the popular discourse. One of the most famous of these is “Islam is the answer for every problem” This statement certainly has a nice ring to it, but its meaning and implications need to be examined carefully and they must be properly clarified. Are we to understand that Islam is like a manual that can be applied directly to solve our political, economic, and social problems? All that we have to do is follow this manual, and all of our goals be realized? Or rather, does it mean that Islam provides us with the broad ethical principles that show us how to live a wholesome life in this world and attain salvation in the Hereafter? As for the specific issues of life, we must wrestle with those issues using our good sense and better judgment – and any one of us will be prone to make mistakes, just like anybody else? What are the areas that Islam provides direct and readily applicable solutions for? What are those issues about which we must turn directly to the Qur’ân and Sunnah to get our answers? What are the areas wherein human expertise must be sought? And where does this leave us with questions of administration, politics, economic policy and the like? To answer these questions, we have to make a distinction between matters wherein Islam provides us with specific answers and where it does not. In some matters, Islam gives us specific, detailed, and elaborate injunctions. These include matters of worship, like how to perform our prayers. There are also some areas in civil law where Islam provides considerable detail, like the laws of inheritance. Then there are other matters – and they are by far the more numerous – where Islam does not provide us with direct and specific answers, but rather leaves to the human intellect the freedom to come up with solutions. In general, this is the case for the matters of our daily lives. The story where the Prophet (peace be upon him) made recommendations about cross- pollinating the date palms and said “You know best about the affairs of your worldly lives” is not far off from what we are saying. Even when we look at the broad principles that Islam gives us – like the principle of justice and the principle of consultation in governance – we find that serious mental effort is needed on our part if we are to translate those principles into a practical, living reality. Consider, for example, at the principle of consultation in government. The scriptures address this principle in general terms. Allah describes the Muslims as people: “…who conduct their affairs by mutual Consultation.” [Sûrah al-Shûrâ: 38] As for the practical application of this principle, the mechanisms of the consultative process, the ways and means of making this principle a reality in our political lives, these are things that Islam does not tell us about. These are matters that are subject to change, depending on the various circumstances of life in different times and places and the ever-changing needs of the people. If we are to move from the experience of an “Islamic awakening” to one of full wakefulness, we are going to have to find real, practical solutions to the real-world problems that we are facing. And if these solutions are going to have to come from our own thinking and problem-solving abilities, we cannot then go and attribute those solution to “Islam” as if the solutions we have come up are decisively what Islam has to say about the problems of our day! Instead, those solutions are the solutions that, for better or for worse, Muslims have come up with do deal with the issues. There is a major distinction between the two statements. If we have two experts, both of whom take the principles of Islam as their point of departure, and we present them with a particular problem to solve, we will not be surprised if each of them comes up with a very different answer. It will also come as no surprise if one of those answers turns out to be very much better than the other. When we weigh the merits of their solutions, we are not judging the Islam of the two experts – we are judging their intellectual abilities. It is not necessary that everyone whose perspective is grounded in the principles of Islam can arrive at a viable solution to the problems of our day. When other people hear us saying “Islam is the answer…” they have the right to ask: “If Islam is the answer, then what is its answer to the failure of the organizations that were founded by ‘Islamists’. If Islam is the answer, then why do we see major efforts being made that are utterly incapable of providing a remedy to the difficult problems that we are going through? Doesn’t Islam provide an answer for those things?” – Or is the problem rather that our human minds are as yet ill-equipped to rise up to the creative challenges that we are being faced with? The have a right to ask: “If Islam is the answer, then why is there so much failure in Muslim societies where Muslims are making concerted efforts? Doesn’t Islam have an answer? Then what is that answer?” Is it right for us to put the blame of our failure on Islam, then? Or should we rather blame the limitations of our own minds, our own lack of creativity and inventiveness? How do we expect to convince the Muslims that Islam will solve the problems in their countries and in the international arena, when what they see with their own eyes is that the Muslims have been unable to provide Islamic alternatives to the acute domestic problems that they are facing? The answer to all of these questions is that the problem lies with our own mental efforts. Islam is innocent of our failures. Islam, as a religion, is not responsible for the consequences of the solutions that we adopt according to our human judgments after it has commanded us to think and work things out for ourselves. Muslims need to wake up and realize that Islam, as a religion, must not be crammed forcibly into matters that it does not specifically address. This is a misuse of Islam, and an injustice to our faith. We need to revise some of our slogans before we bring up another generation to think of Islam as a ready-made manual providing an instant solution for all of our ills.

DEAF DUMB AND BLIND is a strange thing for a Muslim to call a non-Muslim. But then it is the habit of religious fanatics to project their own shortcomings onto other people, while pretending to have every virtue in themselves. The fact that they sincerely believe this falsehood does not make it any less a falsehood. Muslims are trained from birth to be DEAF DUMB AND BLIND. Afraid to listen, afraid to look, afraid to speak.

Throw Islam into the dust-bin of history - that should be more like it , rather than exhorting people to trun away from something like a fugive , while actually it is the cult of the bedouin arabs founded by a lecherous and murderous barbarian Muhamad that should do the running away! Islam destroys civilisations to foist arab hegemoney with an iron grip that would do the communists very proud - you have a ready-made thought police to regulate everything to be in conformity with the barbarian arabic practices of plunder,loot, rape,pedophelia,fornication,genital mutilation,herding women like dumb cattles for sexual perversion and orgies,denying education to women, all good things like art,culture and music ,TV,cinema,etc are 'haram' and all chemical weapons,daggers,bombs,weaponry,etc are 'halal'! it is totally rotten and degenerated cult wallowing in filth( like wipe your arse with sand pebbles after defecating,drink camel urine for 'health' ,etc ),crime and lechery with promises of more lechery in Allah's whorehouse of a paradise for eternity in the hereafter! There can be nothing more disgusting than the hideous cult going in the na me of a "religion" called Islam. So the sensible human beings should leave that rotten cult for their own good and for the good of humanity and peace at large!

Continuing with the above comments ,you have a history of savagery with islam ,killing innocent people mercilessly,raping their women and children , enslaving them,humiliating the non-muslims and discriminating against them ,torturing and murdering in the name of blasphemy,etc. The list of evil practices is very long. No islamic country enjoys the fruits of liberty,equality and fraternity enshrined in a democratic and secular constitution ,above discrimination on the basis of race,religion or colour. There is racism in islam - the arab bedouins consider themselves above all others . The black african muslim are still found as slaves in Saudi Arabia, you can take the case of Darfur ,where the fairer-skinned arab -muslims butcher black-skinned african muslims to enslave and rule over them. Saudi Arabia,Iran,Yemen,UAE,Ethjiopia,Sudan,Somalia,Pakistan,Egypt,Palestine,Syria,Bangladesh,Libya,etc-all 'islamic' countries which are a cesspool of corruption,misery and barbaric violence! That is what Islam holds out for you!

This 'article' should have been titled "The sexual fantasies of an ex-muslim". Why is it that the only things from Islam that you ex-muslims learned and thought about are the topics in rape, child molestation, wife beating, etc. Why can't any of you discuss the most central message of Islam that is the worship of one true god. The only way you guys can make progress in dealing with the theology of Islam is to discuss Tawheed and Tasleem in Islam because they are the most attractive aspects of Islam. The rest is commentary and everybody has its own interpretation of the commentary. There is no other universal religion that is as attractive as Islam on the issue of unity of god.

The duality of Islam is on display in this sura. A muslim male may not marry another muslim's wife. However, he can rape married infidel women he has captured and taken as slaves. To excuse, mislead, cover up and deny this sura is to deny the Qur'an. Some of the "Muslim" posters to this site appear to be apostates. At least Islamofacists are honest about their plans to kill infidels, rape their wives and daughters and sell their children into slavery.

It is important to remember that the claims and falsehoods and misdirections, sophistries, fallacies, and such are not fundamentally about deceiving others about Islam but about hiding the truth from themselves. Muslims have a lot invested in their world view and it is much easier to redefine words like "good", "peace", "freedom", "civility", "crime", "cruel", "compassion", "mercy", "truth" and "God" than to admit to oneself that their ancestors were forced into a cult which twists one's view of reality and that they and their family and friends and ancestors have been indoctrinated so fully that criticism (or even exposure) of the doctrine or its founder is worthy of rage. It is far easier to go through life, try to get by and provide for one's family, and not examine the religious scripture too carefully. When forced to see the actual scriptures being held up and exposed by non-Muslims and ex-Muslims is a (necessary but) painful process. All that many Muslims are able to do is react with anger and poor rhetoric. They are not prepared for the criticisms of the infidels. When Mohamed told them not to associate with unbelievers, not to question their religion and not to carry the Koran into the lands of unbeliever he was trying to protect them from the kind of criticism which he was never able to face except through name-calling and threats by him and his "God". Now that Muslims and non-Muslims can discuss these issues across the planet without interference by clerics and rulers, this insulation is falling away. This is not going to be an easy time for Muslims or those who have compassion for them (i.e. not the paternalistic European/American left-wing).

Some pious mad and slave minded muslims(who can not thing rational,ly and logically)say to consider some good aspects of it only(which like concept of god are copied from previous religions).It is just like considering a looter ,buthcer ,rapist who donates some money for goodwil is a noble man.
