Muslims Protest Character Assassination Of Prophet Mohammad By Islamophobes, But Revere Source Books Of These Allegations By Imam Bukhari, Imam Muslim, An-Nasai, Abu Dawood, Al-Tirmidhi, Ibn-E-Maja, Tabari, Behaqi, Ibn-E-Qadama, Etc

By Sultan Shahin, Founder-Editor, New Age Islam 26 August 2024 Instigated by politicians and possibly so-called “Ulama,” some Muslims are protesting the alleged character assassination of Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) by an Islamophobe. This keeps happening every few months. Any time someone wants some Muslims to get arrested, their houses demolished, he has to only repeat an incident from revered Islamic books of Hadees, Fiqh or History. This kind of protest has been going on in India for long, particularly since Imam Khomeini instigated Muslims on the Salman Rushdie’s book Satanic Verses. These Satanic verses, like all attempts of the character assassination of Prophet, came from a revered book of Hadees, the alleged and mostly concocted, sayings of the Prophet. Most Indians had heard of the book Satanic verses from a news item that this book had been banned in India. And yet Muslims came out protesting on the streets of what was then Bombay and happily lost several lives in police firing. Now they are happily getting arrested under various charges that will keep them in prison for years without bail. With their houses demolished, jobs gone, what will they do outside prison anyway. But the story of protests over blasphemy in the subcontinent began with Ilm Deen, also written as Alimuddin (4 December 1908 – 31 October 1929). He was an Indian Muslim carpenter who assassinated a book publisher named Mahashai Rajpal for publishing the book “Rangila Rasul,” which was considered derogatory towards the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, by Muslims. He was executed for this crime. Alimuddin, was given the title ghazi (a Muslim warrior victorious in battle against the opponents of Islam). In Pakistan, a full-length feature film was produced on the life of Alimuddin and screened on television worldwide. (From Wikipedia) For me the most instructive of Indian Muslim psyche is the following episode: “While putting his body in the grave, the national poet of Pakistan, Allama Iqbal, who authored the poem, Saare Jahan Se Achha Hindustan Hamara, said emotionally, “This uneducated young man has surpassed us, the educated ones.” “Not many people have the guts to do what Ilm-ud- Din did for all of us.” (Google search) If Allama Iqbal could say this, what can I say about average Muslims. I haven’t read “Rangeela Rasool,” nor have I watched what the present Islamophobe Ramgiri has said. But I doubt any Islamophobe’s imagination can go beyond what our revered Hadees books say to denigrate the Prophet and his companions. They must be only quoting from our revered Hadees and Fiqh books or from Tabari’s History of early Islam. While reading these books I often wonder, didn't Sahaba have anything better to do than record their pornographic activities? And how come so many revered Muhaddeseen and Imams have authenticated them in the past and continue to do so until today. Shouldn’t Muslims be asking where did the Prophet and his companions find so much time to remain constantly obsessed with sex, in the midst of Makkan attacks, bloody battles and night long prayers that would lead to Prophet’s swollen feet and so on. A prophet who married at the age of 25, a widow aged 40 and remained loyal to her till she died at the age of 65, had all his children only from her, though he married other widows and one virgin later, for various political reasons; can such a person be portrayed by his own constant companions, who were willing to give their lives in his cause, as a sex maniac. And these companions themselves had so much time for recounting so many sex stories related to the Prophet and themselves that it would fill thousands of pages of Hadees and History books. I hope some of my Muslim brothers and sisters who are angry at Islamophobic attempts at character assassination of Prophet Mohammad will start filing FIRs against those Islamic institutions that teach books by Imam Bukhari, Imam Muslim, an-Nasai, Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi, Ibn-e-Maja, Tabari, Behaqi, Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Malik, Ibn-e-Qadama, etc. Fatawa e Aalamgiri, the law book composed during the long reign of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb Aalamgir and taught to our Fuqaha also contains material that can be considered blasphemy. An Islamophobe out to get Muslims sent to prison and their houses demolished doesn’t even need to exercise his imagination to find material for Prophet’s character assassination. He only needs to open any Hadees book or Tabari’s history, which are now most conveniently available online in pdf format. While most Ulama have read and enjoy teaching these books including their pornographic content, many a common Muslim may not be familiar with these books. So, I am quoting below excerpts from a thinking Muslim Dr Shabbir Ahmad’s book “The Criminals of Islam.” Dr Shabbir has most meticulously compiled some of these illustrations from the most revered of all Hadees books, Imam Bukhari’s Sahih (authentic). Wrongs from the ‘Right’ 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 3:110). 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 3:52). 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 pre-empt an objection by stating that he (the Holy Prophet) had the (sexual) power of 30 men (Bukhari, Book of Bath 1:189). 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 3:52). The Qur'an (49:13) 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 3:55). 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). (Actually) 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 dishonour the great mujahid of Islam. The sun rises between the two antlers of Satan (Bukhari 2:134). Prophet Abraham lied three times (Bukhari, Book of Nikah 3:57). 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 3:59). 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. An important reminder: The Qur'an (47:4) 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 3:60). “After my time, the greatest tribulation for men will be women” (Bukhari, Book of Nikah 3:61). 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 3:69). “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 3:71). 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 (68:4) and a model for all mankind (33:21). 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 3:75). On the other hand, the Qur'an ties marriage to adulthood and mental maturity by declaring marriage a solemn covenant (4:21). 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 3:97). Fitna (tribulation) is in the East (Bukhari, Book of Talaq 3:132). 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 3:259). 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 3:543). 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 1:340). 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 3:718). Some Muslims sided with Mushrikeen and idolaters and invited them to attack the Prophet! (Kitabul Fatan 3:723). The Qur’an mentions all of the Holy companions as staunch believers (8:74) with whom Allah was pleased (9:100). 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 2:134). The Prophet used to become very restless and frightened whenever he saw the sky overcast (Bukhari, Beginning of Creation 2:213). 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 2:225). 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 44:54 and 52:20. 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 2:231). Azan, (the call to prayer), puts Satan to flight, expelling gas as he runs away (Bukhari Beginning of Creation 2:237). Satan rests at night in your noses (Bukhari, Beginning of Creation 2:241). A rooster sees angels, and a donkey sees Satan (Bukhari, Beginning of Creation 2:213). Rats are the lost tribe of Israel because they drink not the camel's milk, but drink goat’s milk (Bukhari, Beginning of Creation 2:244). 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 2:245). The Prophet ordered the killing of dogs (Bukhari, Beginning of Creation 2:247). 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 2:251). 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 1:193). 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 dishonoured 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 1:95, 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 1:98, 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 1:469, chapter 766). According to another hadith, which agrees with the Qur'an, there is a Satan (temptation) within each person. Fasting castrates (Bukhari 1:685). 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 2:691). 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 fulfil 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 17:60 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 important that these anomalies be seen as the defamations they are. Umro bin Maimoon reported, “I saw a monkey surrounded by a swarm of other monkeys. He had committed adultery with a female monkey. So, all monkeys stoned him to death. I cast stones, too.” A variation of this hadith reports, “The female monkey had been lying down with a middle-aged male when a young male came and gestured with his eye. The female slowly pulled her hand away from under the head of the middle-aged monkey and tiptoed away from him. Then she committed adultery with the young monkey. The older monkey got wind of what had happened so he yelled and gathered around him all monkeys in the vicinity. They stoned both (the adulterers) to death!” (Bukhari 2:261). Dear Reader, does this insult need a comment except that our Mulla brings it up to support stoning, which is not ordained in the Qur’an. Do you ever see an animal born with deformed organs? (Bukhari 1:525). Animals are born with deformities. Someone in this narration is trying to attribute his ignorance to the most knowledgeable man of all time. Abdullah Ibne Umar was reciting the Qur'an. When he reached verse 2:223, he asked Naafe whether he knew the application of this verse. Then he went on to explain as: “Your women are your tilths therefore go to your tilths, as you please. If you wish, go into her…(Bukhari 2:729). It is astounding that even the original Arabic text leaves a blank space here! When a woman refuses to come to her husband’s bed, angels curse her until she returns (Bukhari, Book of Nikah p.96). Read hadith #228 and 229 and countless similar ahadith which dwell upon proving the eternal junbb state of the Holy Prophet. Junbb signifies the state of uncleanliness after sexual intercourse. The reader need only refer to the Book of Bath in Bukhari Volume I. The Holy Prophet was the busiest man on earth bringing about the greatest revolution of human history. How could he have time for this extravaganza?! Hadith #185 narrates that once the Holy Prophet asked for a bowl of water. He washed his hands and face in it. Then he rinsed his mouth in it and after that ordered Abu Musa and Bilal to drink from that used water! Respected Reader, if you can make your children and non-Muslims drink this brand of Islam, more power to you! The Book of Bath #246: Abu Salma and the brother of Aisha went to Aisha to learn about the bath after sexual intercourse. She procured a container of water and took a bath. There was a veil between them and her. Would even an ordinary woman stoop so low? If there was a veil how could that be a demonstration unless the veil was a see-through partition? Wasn’t verbal instruction enough? Only an imbecile mind would accept the authenticity of such “traditions”. In hadith #261 Syedah Mamoona is said to be not only watching the Holy Prophet unclothed but also carrying out a running commentary. Hadith #273 states that Umm Hani, who was not even one of the household, saw the Prophet bathing. According to the narrator in #276, Abu Hurairah suddenly disappears from the scene. Later, when the Prophet asks him the reason, he replies, “I was a junbbi.” By now you know what a junbbi is. The Holy Prophet passed a group of women. He said to them, “Ladies, give alms, because I have seen you burning in hell in great numbers.” When the women asked the reason for it, he said: ¬ “You women curse too much!” ¬ “You are ungrateful to your husbands.” ¬ “In spite of being deficient in intellect as well as in religion, you are capable of prevailing over a man of wisdom; you are a creation the like of which has never been seen.” ¬ “Is not the testimony of a woman one half that of a man? This is the measure of deficiency of your intellect!” ¬ “And mind you, when a woman has her periods she is not allowed to pray or to fast. This is the measure of your deficiency in religion.” Dear Reader, the Qur'an stresses gender equity. The Creator designed the physique and physiology of men and women. So the question of deficiency in intellect and religion does not arise. “Traditions” of this nature were fabricated for enslavement of women. Hadith #305 too is a grave insult to aesthetics and common sense. Narrating the method of achieving purity after menstruation, it is advised that the woman grab a cotton swab scented with musk, then touch the area tainted with blood (and Aisha demonstrates this method to a woman)! Kitabul Ilm Hadith #120 commits the most dangerous atrocity in Islamic theology: Abu Huraira narrates, “I learned two bags of knowledge from Rasul Allah (SA). One bag I have made public, but if I open the other bag people will cut my throat.” Dear Reader, Hazrat Abu Huraira could never utter such nonsense. This Hadith was concocted by Abdullah Ibne Saba to open the door for antagonizing the Qur’an through “hidden meaning” of the text. Doesn’t the Holy Qur’an testify that the Exalted Prophet conveyed the Divine message to the full extent? Was Abu Huraira the only companion of the Holy Prophet? This chapter was only a glimpse from the voluminous Bukhari. Can you believe that even today there are people on God's Earth according to whom denying a single narrative of Bukhari and Muslim Ahadith instantly renders a Muslim into a Kaafir (an infidel)? ------- Reference: The Criminals of Islam by Dr. Shabbir Ahmed https://www.newageislam.com/books-documents/the-criminals-islam-dr-shabbir/d/946 URL: https://www.newageislam.com/muslims-islamophobia/muslims-character-assassination-prophet-islamophobes-dawood-tirmidhi-maja/d/133035 New Age Islam, Islam Online, Islamic Website, African Muslim News, Arab World News, South Asia News, Indian Muslim News, World Muslim News, Women in Islam, Islamic Feminism, Arab Women, Women In Arab, Islamophobia in America, Muslim Women in West, Islam Women and Feminism
