The Deception of Craig Winn Revealed.

I just wanted to expose the deception of Craig Winn (www.prophetofdoom.net). I wanted to make an example out of him for everyone to see how Islamic critics attack Islam desperately and their attempts work on ignorant people. It works on people who are too lazy to go do research and actually find out if what these Islamic critics are saying is true. Anti Islamics show one verse where it says, “kill the disbelievers wherever you see them” (9:5) and everyone believes that is what Islam teaches. They don’t even bother reading the verse before or after it or knowing the context of when it was sent down.

In this article I am going to show how Craig Winn misquotes and misinterprets hadeeth in order to present to the people a false image of Islam, something all anti Islamic websites do. I am not answering all of his arguments. Most of his arguments are showing Quranic verses and Hadeeth that call for Jihad and fighting for the name of Allah. But he never shows you the context. THESE VERSES ONLY APPLY DURING TIME OF WAR. I REPEAT, JIHAD VERSES ONLY APPLY DURING TIME OF WAR (read http://www.answering-christianity.com/islam_and_terrorism.htm, however for a more detailed and better understanding then you definitely have to read Harun Yahya’s book “Islam Condemns Terrorism” at http://www.harunyahya.com/terrorism1.php)

I hope you all would read them and be open minded and begin to appreciate Islam as to what it really is and stands for.

I don’t feel like it is a need for me to waste my time and go point by point everything that he presented. I shouldn’t waste my time. What I am going to present is far more than AMPLE EVIDENCE that Craig Winn is a deceiver and he should not be trusted on anything that he says!

For God sake, to all of you anti Islamics out there, search for the truth! Think with your heads and use your logic! Don’t you think that us Muslims know about all these “Jihad Verses” in the Quran? Don’t you think that we know all about all these Hadeeth that you find so strange to understand? Don’t you guys think us Muslims already know about them? Why don’t you ever bother asking us to explain them to you so that you can understand them? Ask knowledgeable Muslims, and not just anyone. This is a sincere call to all people to open up their minds and begin to really understand Islam.

There is something in common between anti Islamics such as Craig Winn and those terrorists that blew up that school in Russia and the World Trade Centers, THEY BOTH READ THE QURAN OUT OF ITS CONTEXT AND WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING AND READ IT IN SUCH A WAY IN ORDER TO GAIN SOMETHING FOR THEMSELVES.

Anyways I don’t want to bore you people with a lecture so lets get right to it.

I basically have 64 responses to him. Most of them he quoted out of context, didn’t quote them fully or added his own words into the hadith and Quranic verses. I have to admit there are a few verses and hadith that need understanding and explaining. So I hope you read them and understand them and let them sink in.

The hadith that are bold in black are the hadith that Craig posted on his site, the big blue website links is where you can find those hadith on his website, my responses are in bold red and hadith that I present for evidence is in normal black font. (Those hadith are also part of my answer)

And proclaim: `Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Verily, falsehood is bound to vanish. (Surah 17:81)

1: Muslim: C9B1N29 “Command For Fighting Against People So Long As They Do Not Profess That There Is No Ilah (God) But Allah And Muhammad Is His Messenger: When the Messenger breathed his last and Bakr was appointed Caliph, many Arabs chose to become apostates [rejected Islam]. Abu Bakr said: ‘I will definitely fight against anyone who stops paying the Zakat tax, for it is an obligation. I will fight against them even to secure the cord used for hobbling the feet of a camel which they used to pay if they withhold it now.’ Allah had justified fighting against those who refused to pay Zakat.”

This is completely justified. If they go against the Islamic rule and government they deserve to be punished. What else was Abu Bakr supposed to do? In America if someone does not pay their taxes they can go to jail. Does that make America unjust? In China they kill tax evaders (A New York Times article describes the context and details of one businessman who was executed in China for tax evasion (11 Mar. 2001). at http://www.irb-cisr.gc.ca/en/research/ndp/ref/?action=view&doc=chn41156e). You have to understand that these are God's laws. It is probably difficult for a non-Muslim to understand this but from the Muslim perspective it is completely justifiable. For God sake people get executed or punished for crimes against man made laws, what do you expect to happen to people that break God's laws?!!!!!!!

Zakah is one of the 5 pillars of Islam and it is compulsory on everyone. It is compulsory even on the non-Muslim, this is called Jizyah. Jizyah does not degrade the non-Muslim people, it actually brings equality. Since the Muslims are obliged to pay Zakah, then why cant non-Muslims pay Jizyah? That brings equality between the two.

The Jizyah is a tax levied on non-Muslims in lieu of military service which is compulsory for Muslims but not for non-Muslims. The amount of Jizyah is much less than the Zakat, which is levied on Muslims only. The non-muslims paying Jizyah were exempt from compulsory military service in a Muslim State but were entitled to full protection. (http://www.netmuslims.com/info/economic.html)

Anyways back to the point, Abu Bakr declaring war on those people is completely justifiable. It is too bad if you can’t understand it. See the benefits of paying Zakah http://www.contactpakistan.com/news/news188.htm

2:Bukhari: V5B59N288 “I witnessed a scene that was dearer to me than anything I had ever seen. Aswad came to the Prophet while Muhammad was urging the Muslims to fight the pagans. He said, ‘We shall fight on your right and on your left and in front of you and behind you.’ I saw the face of the Prophet getting bright with happiness, for that saying delighted him.”

Look how Craig Winn presents the hadith in a way to show that killing delights the Prophet. Lets see the hadith in its context.

Narrated By Ibn Masud : I witnessed Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad in a scene which would have been dearer to me than anything had I been the hero of that scene. He (i.e. Al-Miqdad) came to the Prophet while the Prophet was urging the Muslims to fight with the pagans. Al-Miqdad said, "We will not say as the People of Moses said: Go you and your Lord and fight you two. (5.27). But we shall fight on your right and on your left and in front of you and behind you." I saw the face of the Prophet getting bright with happiness, for that saying delighted him.

Prophet Muhammad is delighted by the fact that the Muslims will not betray him and that they would stay by his side unlike how the Jews did with Moses. The killing does not delight him! He is delighted by how loyal his companions are to him and their support for him!!

Craig Winn, STOP MISQUOTING AND MISINTERPRETING HADITH BY TRYING TO MAKE THEM SAY SOMETHING THAT THEY REALLY ARENT!!!!!!!

3: Bukhari: V4B52N20 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘I have been made victorious with terror.’”

Craig Winn knows what he is doing. He is trying to show people that Muhammad is victorious by spreading terror (as in going around killing innocent people and terrorizing them). Lets look at the hadith fully

Narrated By Abu Huraira : Allah's Apostle said, "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand." Abu Huraira added: Allah's Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them).

Terror here is the fear that Allah has put into the hearts of the disbelievers and not the kind of terror that Craig Winn wants you to assume. He read this hadith before posting it, why didn’t he put what is in the brackets? This is what the early commentators of this hadith and the early scholars and the people that knew Prophet Muhammad know what the Prophet meant when he said that. So who is Craig Winn to come and say that the Prophet meant something else.

4: Bukhari: V9B87N127 “The Prophet said, ‘I have been given the keys of eloquent speech and given victory with terror.’”

Narrated By Abu Huraira : The Prophet said, "I have been given the keys of eloquent speech and given victory with awe (cast into the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping last night, the keys of the treasures of the earth were brought to me till they were put in my hand." Abu Huraira added: Allah's Apostle left (this world) and now you people are carrying those treasures from place to place.

How could Prophet Muhammad strike “terror” (as in killing and maiming) with eloquent speech? Same answer is given in the previous response.

5: Bukhari: V5B59N512 “The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer [Prayer of Fear] near Khaybar when it was still dark. He said, ‘Allahu-Akbar!’ [Allah is Greatest] Khaybar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a hostile nation to fight, then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned.’ Then the inhabitants came out running on their roads. The Prophet had their men killed; their children and woman were taken as captives.”

Fajr prayer is DAWN prayer; Prayer of fear is SALAT AL KHAWF. Prophet Muhammad’s attack on Khaybar is completely justified; go read the history of what those Jews did for them to deserve that. In the United Kingdom the only crime punishable by death is TREASON. In America, spies convicted of treason are executed. If that is justifiable, then the order of the Prophet for the killing of the Jews of Khaybar is more than justifiable, for their betrayal of the Prophet and their breaking of the peace treaty can absolutely not go unpunished.

ANOTHER THING IS, THAT I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE HOW DECEPTIVE CRAIG WINN IS. LETS LOOK AT THE HADITH

Narrated By Anas: The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer near Khaibar when it was still dark and then said, "Allahu-Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned." Then the inhabitants of Khaibar came out running on the roads. The Prophet had their warriors killed, their offspring and woman taken as captives. Safiya was amongst the captives, She first came in the share of Dahya Alkali but later on she belonged to the Prophet. The Prophet made her manumission as her 'Mahr'.

LOOK HOW CRAIG WINN SUBSTITUTES THE WORD “WARRIORS” FOR MEN!!!! Because the word warriors show that those men being killed were FIGHTING AGAINST THE MUSLIMS. But when you just put the word “men”, like Craig Winn, it seems like innocent people are being killed. HOW DECEPTIVE CAN A MAN GETTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????

6: Bukhari: V4B52N256 “The Prophet passed by and was asked whether it was permissible to attack infidels at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, ‘Their women and children are from them.’”

There are many possible meanings for this Hadith. I was kind of surprised when I read it at first. But we don’t know the EXACT situation or what the Prophet truly meant. Maybe, maybe THOSE particular women and children were planning to fight against the Muslims with the enemy.

Maybe the Muslim army just could not have blown this chance to attack the enemy that they still had to attack them no matter at what cost in order to stop the risk of more blood shed (do a little bad for the greater good). I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THIS IS CORRECT but I am just guessing.

Or the hadith is false. Because this is only ONE hadith and we have so many other authentic hadith where the Prophet clearly prohibited the killing of innocent women and children during time of war.

Narrated By 'Abdullah : During some of the Ghazawat of the Prophet a woman was found killed. Allah's Apostle disapproved the killing of women and children.

Narrated By Ibn 'Umar : During some of the Ghazawat of Allah's Apostle a woman was found killed, so Allah's Apostle forbade the killing of women and children.

THE PROPHET DIDN’T SAY that only MUSLIM WOMEN AND CHILDREN couldn’t be killed during time of war (WOULDN’T MAKE SENSE, WHY WOULD THEY FIGHT THEIR OWN WOMEN AND CHILDREN).

7: Bukhari: V5B59N702 “Allah did not admonish anyone who had not participated in the Ghazwa [raid] of Badr, for in fact, Allah’s Apostle had only gone out in search of the Quraysh caravan so that he could rob it. But Allah arranged for the Muslims and their enemy to meet by surprise. I was at the Aqaba pledge with Allah’s Apostle when we gave our lives in submission, but the Badr battle is more popular amongst the people. I was never stronger or wealthier than I was when I followed the Prophet on a Ghazwa.’”

Ghazwa means battle and not raid. STOP GIVING PEOPLE MISCONCEPTIONS CRAIG! Yes the Prophet originally did want to have the caravan raided. READ HISTORY and understand why the Prophet wanted to. The Prophet and his companions were driven out of Mecca! They lost all their possessions and those pagan Meccans took it. They Muslims needed to gain back what they lost! That caravan was carrying resources to Mecca that the Mecca pagans would have most likely used against the Muslims. So these are two reasons why the Prophet wanted the caravan raided if not more.

8: Bukhari: V5B59N297 “The Prophet faced the Ka’aba and invoked evil on the Quraysh people.”

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CRAIG!!!!!!! STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP MISSSSQUOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTINGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Narrated By 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud : The Prophet faced the Ka'ba and invoked evil on some people of Quraish, on Shaiba bin Rabi'a, 'Utba bin Rabi'a, Al-Walid bin 'Utba and Abu Jahl bin Hisham. I bear witness, by Allah, that I saw them all dead, putrefied by the sun as that day was a very hot day.

SOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE PEOPLE OF THE QURAYSH. SOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, BECAUSE THEY WERE EXTRA EVIL, GO READ HISTORY AND SEE WHY.

9: Bukhari: V4B52N311 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘There is no migration after the Conquest of Mecca, but only Jihad. When you are called by the Muslim ruler for Jihad fighting, you should go forth immediately, responding to the call.’”

Not ONLYYYYYYY Jihad Craig!! I know you read the hadith, why did you play around with it?

Narrated By Ibn 'Abbas : The Prophet said, on the day of the Conquest of Mecca, "There is no migration (after the Conquest), but Jihad and good intentions, and when you are called for Jihad, you should immediately respond to the call."

I thought it might be important that people could also know GOOD INTENTIONS AND NOT ONLY WAR Craig!

10: Bukhari: V4B51N73 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Know that Paradise is under the shade of swords.’”

People need to understand that this is only during time of war. Islam is not a violent religion; this is only at time of war and should be read in its context.

Narrated By Salim Abu An-Nadr : The freed slave of 'Umar bin 'Ubaidullah who was 'Umar's clerk: 'Abdullah bin Abi Aufa wrote him (i.e. 'Umar) a letter that contained the following:

"Once Allah's Apostle (during a holy battle), waited till the sun had declined and then he got up among the people and said, "O people! Do not wish to face the enemy (in a battle) and ask Allah to save you (from calamities) but if you should face the enemy, then be patient and let it be known to you that Paradise is under the shades of swords." He then said,, "O Allah! The Revealer of the (Holy) Book, the Mover of the clouds, and Defeater of Al-Ahzab (i.e. the clans of infidels), defeat them infidels and bestow victory upon us."

11: Bukhari: V4B52N130 “Aisha said, ‘Whenever the Prophet intended to proceed on a raid he used to draw lots amongst his wives and would take the one upon whom the lot fell. Once, before setting out for Jihad, he drew lots and it fell on me; so I went with him.”

I am not accusing Craig of anything here but just in case people misunderstand the hadeeth, don’t take it to mean that the Prophet forced his wives to come with him. On the contrary, they all wanted to go but the Prophet couldn’t take all of them with him so he had to draw the lots in order to show that he was fair between his wives.

They were anxious to go but they weren’t allowed to fight. They had a different Jihad.

Narrated By 'Aisha : (That she said), "O Allah's Apostle! We consider Jihad as the best deed. Should we not fight in Allah's Cause?" He said, "The best Jihad (for women) is Hajj-Mabrur (i.e. Hajj which is done according to the Prophet's tradition and is accepted by Allah)."

But they could help the warriors on the battlefield by attending to their needs.

Narrated By Ar-Rabi'bint Mu'auwidh : We used to take part in holy battles with the Prophet by providing the people with water and serving them and bringing the killed and the wounded back to Medina.

12: Bukhari: V4B52N182-4 “Allah’s Apostle invoked evil upon the infidels, saying, ‘O Allah! The revealer of the Holy Book, defeat these people and shake them. Fill the infidels’ houses and graves with fire.’”

Narrated By 'Ali : When it was the day of the battle of Al-Ahzab (i.e. the clans), Allah's Apostle said, "O Allah! Fill their (i.e. the infidels') houses and graves with fire as they busied us so much that we did not perform the prayer (i.e. 'Asr) till the sun set."

Can anyone please tell me what is wrong with Prophet Muhammad praying to Allah to DESTROY THE ENEMIES THAT WERE SURRENDERING AND ATTACKING AND WANTING TO KILL THE MUSLIMS?

Narrated By Abu Huraira : The Prophet used to recite the following invocations during Qunut: "O Allah! Save Salama bin Hisham. O Allah! Save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid. O Allah! Save 'Aiyash bin Rabi'a O Allah ! Save the weak Muslims. O Allah! Be very hard on Mudar tribe. O Allah! Afflict them with years (of famine) similar to the (famine) years of the time of Prophet Joseph."

Again because the Mudar tribe were a tribe that were fighting against the prophet (Bukhari, book 56, number 713).

Narrated By 'Abdullah bin Abi Aufa : Allah's Apostle invoked evil upon the pagans on the ay (of the battle) of Al-Ahzab, saying, "O Allah! The Revealer of the Holy Book, the Swift-Taker of Accounts, O Allah, defeat Al-Ahzab (i.e. the clans), O Allah, defeat them and shake them."

Can anyone please tell me what is wrong with Prophet Muhammad praying to Allah to DESTROY THE ENEMIES THAT WERE SURRENDERING AND ATTACKING AND WANTING TO KILL THE MUSLIMS?

Prophet Muhammad never prayed against innocent people!!! Only those fighting against him! If an armed robber were coming after to you to kill you wouldn’t you pray to God to get rid of him and defeat him? If you would, then why couldn’t the Glorious Prophet Muhammad?

13. Bukhari: V4B52N259 “Allah’s Apostle sent us on a mission as a army unit and said, ‘If you find so-and-so and so-and-so, burn both of them with fire.’”

If Craig quoted the whole hadith and the next hadith we would have found out what the Prophet meant.

Narrated By Abu Huraira : Allah's Apostle sent us in a mission (i.e. am army-unit) and said, "If you find so-and-so and so-and-so, burn both of them with fire." When we intended to depart, Allah's Apostle said, "I have ordered you to burn so-and-so and so-and-so, and it is none but Allah Who punishes with fire, so, if you find them, kill them."

What the Prophet meant was that if they killed those people then they would burn in hell due to Allah’s punishment. The Prophet didn’t actually want them to go and burn them. For example, lets say a convicted killer is going to be executed and you said LET HIM FRY. But he is dying by lethal injection. What you really mean he is ‘let him die so that he can go and burn in hell”.

Read the next hadith to prove that the Prophet really did not want his followers going around burning people to death.

Narrated By Ikrima : Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn 'Abbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, 'Don't punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.'

14. Bukhari: V4B52N280 “When the Qurayza were ready to accept Sa’d’s judgment, the Apostle sent for him. Sa’d proclaimed, ‘I give the judgment that their men should be killed and their children and women should be taken as prisoners.’ The Prophet remarked, ‘O Sa’d! You have judged them with the judgment of King Allah.’”

Again he is trying to pull off the same trick and make it show as if innocents have been killed. Read the history!!!!! And quote the hadith correctly.

Narrated By Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri : When the tribe of Bani Quraiza was ready to accept Sad's judgment, Allah's Apostle sent for Sad who was near to him. Sad came, riding a donkey and when he came near, Allah's Apostle said (to the Ansar), "Stand up for your leader." Then Sad came and sat beside Allah's Apostle who said to him. "These people are ready to accept your judgment." Sad said, "I give the judgment that their warriors should be killed and their children and women should be taken as prisoners." The Prophet then remarked, "O Sad! You have judged amongst them with (or similar to) the judgment of the King Allah."

15. Muslim: B19N4292 “Aun inquired whether it was necessary to extend an invitation to submit to Islam before murdering infidels in the fight. Nafi told me that it was necessary in the early days of Islam. The Messenger made a raid upon Mustaliq while they were unaware and their cattle were having a drink at the water. He killed those who fought and imprisoned others. This Tradition was related by one who was among the raiding troops.”

Craig knows how to take advantage of ignorant people who do not know their history. Read why the Prophet attacked them.

The Banu Mustaliq, a branch of Banu Khuza'a occupied the territory of Qadid on the Red Sea shore between Jeddah and Rabigh. In 527 C.E. news was brought to Madina that the Banu Mustaliq in alliance with some other tribes were gathering to make a raid on Madina. The policy of the Holy Prophet was that the Muslims should not lose the initiative in such cases, and should take such tribes by surprise. Another aspect of the policy was that action against individual tribes should be taken before they could effect an alliance.

Although Juwayriyya was young and beautiful and of noble lineage, Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) was not thinking of all that, he was thinking of how to save her and all her tribe from an ignoble fate.

By marrying Juwayriyya, the Banu Mustaliq were able to enter Islam with honor, and with the humiliation of their recent defeat removed, and it was not necessary for them to embark on a war of vengeance that would have continued until one of the two parties had been annihilated.

All the booty that had been taken from the Banu Mustaliq was returned, and all the captives were set free, as soon as the marriage took place, for they were now the in laws of Prophet Mohamed (PBUH).

16: Bukhari: V5B59N510 “Allah’s Apostle reached Khaybar at night. It was his habit that, whenever he reached an enemy at night, he would not attack them till it was morning. When morning came, the Jews came out with their spades and baskets. When they saw the Prophet, they said, ‘Muhammad! O dear God! It’s Muhammad and his army!’ The Prophet shouted, ‘Allahu-Akbar! Khaybar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a nation, evil will be the morning for those who have been warned.’”

Again he misrepresents the hadith by showing the Prophets invaded ordinary nations and leaves out something important.

Narrated By Anas : Allah's Apostle reached Khaibar at night and it was his habit that, whenever he reached the enemy at night, he will not attack them till it was morning. When it was morning, the Jews came out with their spades and baskets, and when they saw him(i.e. the Prophet), they said, "Muhammad! By Allah! Muhammad and his army!" The Prophet said, "Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned."

Narrated Anas bin Malik: We reached Khaibar early in the morning and the inhabitants of Khaibar came out carrying their spades, and when they saw the Prophet they said, "Muhammad! By Allah! Muhammad and his army!" The Prophet said, "Allahu-Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight) then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned." We then got the meat of donkeys (and intended to eat it), but an announcement was made by the announcer of the Prophet, "Allah and His Apostle forbid you to eat the meat of donkeys, as it is an impure thing."

He read this hadith before posting it, why didn’t he put what is in the brackets? This is what the early commentators of this hadith and the early scholars and the people that knew Prophet Muhammad know what the Prophet meant when he said that.

HE DOES NOT ACCEPT WHAT THOSE PEOPLE PUT IN BRACKETS, BUT CRAIG Winn LIKES TO ADD HIS OWN BRACKETS!! READ THE NEXT RESPONSE TO KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!!!!

17: Bukhari: V8B75N417 “Allah’s Messenger said, ‘Allah has some angels who look for those who think about Allah while they’re out [fighting] and they encircle them with their wings. Allah [who hears all] asks these angels, ‘What do my slaves say?’ The angels reply, ‘Allahu Akbar!’ Allah [who sees all] asks, ‘Can they see Me?’ The angels answer, ‘No. They can’t see you.’ Allah [who knows all] says, ‘How would it have been if they had seen Me?’ ‘If they had seen You [one spirit said to another] they would have worshiped you more.’ Allah [who created a brothel] asks, ‘What do they desire?’ ‘They ask for your Paradise.’ ‘Have they seen it?’ ‘No. But if they had they would covet it all the more.’ ‘What do they fear?’ ‘Hell Fire.’ ‘Have they seen it?’ ‘No. If they had seen it they would flee it with extreme fear.’ Allah said, ‘I will not reduce every Companion to misery.’”

I think this is the worst one yet. CRAIG ADDED ALL THOSE BRACKETS. OH MY GOD I AM SPEECHLESS. I AM JUST GOING TO POST THE HADITH AND YOU GUYS JUDGE FOR YOURSELVES. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.

Narrated By Abu Huraira : Allah 's Apostle said, "Allah has some angels who look for those who celebrate the Praises of Allah on the roads and paths. And when they find some people celebrating the Praises of Allah, they call each other, saying, "Come to the object of your pursuit.' " He added, "Then the angels encircle them with their wings up to the sky of the world." He added. "(after those people celebrated the Praises of Allah, and the angels go back), their Lord, asks them (those angels)... though He knows better than them... 'What do My slaves say?' The angel’s reply, 'They say: Subhan Allah, Allahu Akbar, and Alham-du-lillah, Allah then says 'Did they see Me?' The angels reply, 'No! By Allah, they didn't see You.'

Allah says, How it would have been if they saw Me?' The angels reply, 'If they saw You, they would worship You more devoutly and celebrate Your Glory more deeply, and declare Your freedom from any resemblance to anything more often.' Allah says (to the angels), 'What do they ask Me for?' The angel’s reply, 'They ask You for Paradise.' Allah says (to the angels), 'Did they see it?' The angels say, 'No! By Allah, O Lord! They did not see it.' Allah says, How it would have been if they saw it?' The angels say, 'If they saw it, they would have greater covetousness for it and would seek It with greater zeal and would have greater desire for it.' Allah says, 'From what do they seek refuge?' The angels reply, 'They seek refuge from the (Hell) Fire.' Allah says, 'Did they see it?' The angels say, 'No By Allah, O Lord! They did not see it.' Allah says, How it would have been if they saw it?' The angels say, 'If they saw it they would flee from it with the extreme fleeing and would have extreme fear from it.' Then Allah says, 'I make you witnesses that I have forgiven them."' Allah's Apostle added, "One of the angels would say, 'There was so-and-so amongst them, and he was not one of them, but he had just come for some need.' Allah would say, 'These are those people whose companions will not be reduced to misery.'"

18: Bukhari: V4B52N276 “By Allah, we saw the Meccan women running, revealing their leg-bangles. So, we cried out, ‘The booty! O Muslims, the booty! Our Companions have become victorious. What are we waiting for? By Allah! We will go to the pagans and collect our share of the war booty.’”

This hadith is simply stating that when the Muslims saw the women running, they knew that they had won the battle, therefore they were shouting to each other since they thought that they won the war to go and get the war booty.

19: Bukhari: V4B52N70 “Some people drank alcohol in the morning of the day of the battle of Uhud and were martyred on the same day.”

As we all know, the Quran was revealed in stages over a period of 23 years. So I am assuming that when the battle of Uhud occurred, the verse regarding the complete prohibition of alcohol has not come down yet.

20: Bukhari: V4B52N147 “Allah’s Apostle and the pagans faced each other and started fighting. When the Apostle returned to his camp somebody talked about Quzman, a Muslim who had killed many pagans. The Apostle said of him, ‘Nobody did his job of fighting as well as that man. Indeed, he is amongst the people of the Hell Fire.”

Again Craig does not quote the full hadith and leaves the audience with a wrong impression. Even the companions of the Prophet were surprised at what he said and they wanted to figure out why. So lets see the whole hadith in its context.

Narrated By Sahl bin Sad As-Sa'idi : Allah's Apostle and the pagans faced each other and started fighting. When Allah's Apostle returned to his camp and when the pagans returned to their camp, somebody talked about a man amongst the companions of Allah's Apostle who would follow and kill with his sword any pagan going alone. He said, "Nobody did his job (i.e. fighting) so properly today as that man." Allah's Apostle said, "Indeed, he is amongst the people of the (Hell) Fire." A man amongst the people said, "I shall accompany him (to watch what he does)" Thus he accompanied him, and wherever he stood, he would stand with him, and wherever he ran, he would run with him.

Then the (brave) man got wounded seriously and he decided to bring about his death quickly. He planted the blade of the sword in the ground directing its sharp end towards his chest between his two breasts. Then he leaned on the sword and killed himself. The other man came to Allah's Apostle and said, "I testify that you are Allah's Apostle." The Prophet asked, "What has happened?" He replied, "(It is about) the man whom you had described as one of the people of the (Hell) Fire. The people were greatly surprised at what you said, and I said, 'I will find out his reality for you.' So, I came out seeking him. He got severely wounded, and hastened to die by slanting the blade of his sword in the ground directing its sharp end towards his chest between his two breasts. Then he eased on his sword and killed himself." when Allah's Apostle said, "A man may seem to the people as if he were practicing the deeds of the people of Paradise while in fact he is from the people of the Hell) Fire, another may seem to the people as if he were practicing the deeds of the people of Hell (Fire), while in fact he is from the people of Paradise."

THE PROPHET SAID HE WAS GOING TO HELL BECAUSE HE COMMITTED SUICIDE, NOT BECAUSE HE WAS A GREAT FIGHTER LIKE HOW CRAIG WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE.

21: Bukhari: V1B1N6 “Just issue orders to kill every Jew in the country.”

It is a very long hadith and I do not want to bore you guys but the point is that the Prophet did not say this it was Heraclius, the head of the Christians in Sham. Because Islam is so perfect and because Muhammad is such a great and fabulous person, people have to get so desperate in order to ruin his image you see (just like Craig did here)

22: Bukhari: V1B11N626 “The Prophet said, ‘No prayer is harder for the hypocrites than the Fajr. If they knew the reward they would come to (the mosque) even if they had to crawl. I decided to order a man to lead the prayer and then take a flame to burn all those who had not left their houses for the prayer, burning them alive inside their homes.’”

Narrated By Abu Huraira : Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is I was about to order for collecting fire-wood (fuel) and then order Someone to pronounce the Adhan for the prayer and then order someone to lead the prayer then I would go from behind and burn the houses of men who did not present themselves for the (compulsory congregational) prayer. By Him, in Whose Hands my soul is, if anyone of them had known that he would get a bone covered with good meat or two (small) pieces of meat present in between two ribs, he would have turned up for the 'Isha prayer."

Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, I was about to order for collecting fire wood and then order someone to pronounce the Adhan for the prayer and then order someone to lead the people in prayer and then I would go from behind and burn the houses of men who did not present themselves for the (compulsory congregational) prayer. By Him in Whose Hands my life is, if anyone of you had known that he would receive a bone covered with meat or two (small) pieces of meat present in between two ribs, he would come for 'Isha' prayer." (See hadeeth No. 617, Vol. 1)

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) found some people absenting from certain prayers and he said: I intend that I order (a) person to lead people in prayer, and then go to the persons who do not join the (congregational prayer) and then order their houses to be burnt by the bundles of fuel. If one amongst them were to know that he would find a fat fleshy bone he would attend the night prayer.

'Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying about people who are absent from Jumu'a prayer: I intend that I should command a person to lead people in prayer, and then burn those persons who absent themselves from Jumu'a prayer in their houses.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'zZinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "By Him in whose hand myself is! I had in mind to order firewood to be collected, then to order the prayer to be called, and to appoint a man to lead the people in prayer, and then to come up behind certain men and burn their houses down about them! By Him in whose hand myself is! If one of them knew that he would find a meaty bone or two good legs of meat, he would be present at Isha.'"

Abu Hurairah also reports that the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam said: "By Him in whose hand is my soul! I have considered ordering a fire to be kindled and then ask someone to lead the people in salah. And then go to the men [who did not attend the prayer] and burn their houses over them." This is related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

As we clearly see, the Prophet never did go and burn the houses of people who didn’t pray. If he did, then we would have seen all the early generation Muslims doing it by following his Sunnah. The Prophet only said what he said in order to emphasize how important congregational prayer is and how big of a sin if you skip it intentionally. So either the hadeeth that Craig quoted is weak or mistranslated from Arabic or needs to be understood in a different way. Because the so many other hadeeth out there say something else.

23: Qur’an 33:36 “It is not fitting for a Muslim man or woman to have any choice in their affairs when a matter has been decided for them by Allah and His Messenger. They have no option. If any one disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a wrong Path.”

Craig is quoting this verse to show that Muslims have no freedom of choice and that we HAVE TO OBEY GOD! Realllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy???????????????? DO WE REALLY HAVE TO OBEY GOD?????????? DOESN’T EVERY RELIGION IN THE WORLDDDDDDDD TEACHHHHH THATTTTTTTTTTTTT??????!!!!!!!!!!! HMMMMMM CRAIG SO I GUESS JESUS GIVES YOU THE CHOICE TO BELIEVE OR DISBELIEVE IN HIM AS LORD AND SAVIOR THEN HUH? SO NO PROBLEM, DON’T BELIEVE IN HIS DEITY AND YOU WOULD STILL GO TO HEAVEN CRAIG! GO AHEAD AND DO IT!!

24: Bukhari: V7B67N427 “The Prophet said, ‘If I take an oath and later find something else better than that, then I do what is better and expiate my oath.’”

Again Craig is presenting the hadith out of context in order to make it show that the Prophet allowed and practiced deception. Let us read the hadith in context and see what happened….

Narrated By Zahdam : We were in the company of Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari and there were friendly relations between us and this tribe of Jarm. Abu Musa was presented with a dish containing chicken. Among the people there was sitting a red-faced man who did not come near the food. Abu Musa said (to him), "Come on (and eat), for I have seen Allah's Apostle eating of it (i.e. chicken)." He said, "I have seen it eating something (dirty) and since then I have disliked it, and have taken an oath that I shall not eat it ' Abu Musa said, "Come on, I will tell you (or narrate to you). Once I went to Allah s Apostle with a group of Al-Ash'ariyin, and met him while he was angry, distributing some camels of Rakat. We asked for mounts but he took an oath that he would not give us any mounts, and added, 'I have nothing to mount you on' In the meantime some camels of booty were brought to Allah's Apostle and he asked twice, 'Where are Al-Ash'ariyin?" So he gave us five white camels with big humps. We stayed for a short while (after we had covered a little distance), and then I said to my companions, "Allah's Apostle has forgotten his oath. By Allah, if we do not remind Allah's Apostle of his oath, we will never be successful." So we returned to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We asked you for mounts, but you took an oath that you would not give us any mounts; we think that you have forgotten your oath.' He said, 'It is Allah Who has given you mounts. By Allah, and Allah willing, if I take an oath and later find something else better than that. then I do what is better and expiate my oath.'"

You see, the Prophet canceled his oath because the situation has changed. Let me give you an example, lets say there is someone who keeps on asking you for money all the time. Now there has come a time where you barely have enough money for your self, so you make a promise that you will not lend money to the guy this time. Now let’s say two weeks later, you won the lottery or something and now you have enough money to lend to 10 people. Now you will cancel your oath and lend the guy the money because the CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE CHANGED.

"Allah will not take you to task for that which is unintentional in your oaths, but He will take you to task for the oaths which ye swear in earnest. The expiation thereof is the feeding of ten of the needy with the average of that wherewith ye feed your own folk, or the clothing of them, or the liberation of a slave, and for him who findeth not (the wherewithal to do so) then a three day fast. This is the expiation of your oaths when ye have sworn; and keep your oaths. Thus Allah expoundeth unto you His revelations in order that ye may give thanks." Surah 5:89.

"The signs of the hypocrite are three: when he speaks he lies, when he promises he breaks his promise and when he is entrusted he betrays the trust." (Bukhari and Muslim)

Sign of the hypocrite? Allah says in the quran that the hypocrites would have the worst punishment in hell and Craig wants to tell me that Islam promotes and allows people to break their promises and oaths?

Read more from Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 15, Oaths and Vows (Kitab Al-Aiman Wa Al-Nudhur)

Really? I thought you have to tell the truth and tell your enemies all your plans. Of course war is deceit. Read about it,

26: Bukhari: V2B24N555 “I heard the Prophet say, ‘Allah hates for you for asking too many questions.’”

As usual, Craig misinterprets the hadith for everybody. Lets look at the hadith.

Narrated By Ash-sha'bi : The clerk of Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba narrated, "Muawiya wrote to Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba: Write to me something which you have heard from the Prophet (p.b.u.h) ." So Al-Mughira wrote: I heard the Prophet saying, "Allah has hated for you three things:

3. And asking too many questions (in disputed religious matters) or asking others for something (except in great need). (See Hadith No. 591, Vol. Ill)

This is a good question, I am not complimenting Craig because I know his intentions are evil and does not seek to learn or be open minded to understand anything about Islam, but these are questions that even Muslims ask someone who is learned about this hadith.

If you ask any scholar he would tell you that this hadith means that the Prophet told his followers to stop asking questions pertaining to small irrelevant matters so that they wont put stress on them selves. They would keep asking the Prophet questions such as “Can I do this and that with my wife”, “Is it okay if I sleep this amount of hours a day” etc. etc. The Prophet would basically tell them to stop asking if this and that is haraam (forbidden) because Allah has not made it haraam. So stop asking before Allah does so. That is what the hadith means. The Prophet didn’t mean for us to not ask any questions at all. There are so many hadith where the Prophet even says that seeking knowledge is obligatory. (http://members.tripod.com/ahya/ilm/k1.html) So this hadith needs to be read with understanding.

Okay Craig? Okay all you anti Islamics out there? If there is a hadith or Quranic verse troubling you then go ask someone with knowledge to clear it up for you!

27: Bukhari: V4B52N233 “Allah’s Apostle forbade the people to travel to a hostile country carrying copies of the Quran. [He said:] Unbelievers will never understand our signs and revelations.”

With all due respect to Craig THE LIAR AND DECIEVER. I checked the reference of the hadith and it only said this

Narrated By 'Abdullah bin 'Umar : Allah's Apostle forbade the people to travel to a hostile country carrying (copies of) the Qur'an.

It did not say [He said:] Unbelievers will never understand our signs and revelations.”

Craig added that last part. The Prophet said that because he knew that if those disbelievers in those hostile countries saw the copies of the Quran they would take it and tear it up and disrespect it basically.

The Quran is meant for the disbelievers to read! How can the Quran challenge the disbelievers to produce one Surah like it if the disbelievers can’t read it? Think logically and stop ADDING YOUR OWN WORDS TO THE HADITH CRAIG!!

28: Bukhari: V4B53N408 “When the Prophet wanted to perform the Umrah, the Quraysh stipulated that he could not preach (Islam). So Ali started writing a treaty. ‘This is what Muhammad, Apostle of Allah, has agreed to.’ The (Meccans) said, ‘If we believed that you were the Apostle of Allah we would have followed you. So write, ‘This is what Muhammad bin Abdallah has agreed to.’ The Apostle could not write, so he asked Ali to erase the expression: ‘Apostle of Allah.’ On that Ali said, ‘I will never erase it.’ Muhammad said, ‘Let me see the paper.’ The Prophet erased the expression with his own hand.”

I fail to see Muhammad as a deceiver in this hadith. I see him as a man so humble and cooperative that he agreed to remove that expression.

29: Bukhari: V1B11N617 “I would order someone to collect firewood and another to lead prayer. Then I would burn the houses of men who did not present themselves at the compulsory prayer and prostration.”

I already dealt with this issue in number 22 but I couldn’t resist continuously exposing him for the liar that he is. Here is the actual hadith.

Narrated By Abu Huraira : Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is I was about to order for collecting fire-wood (fuel) and then order Someone to pronounce the Adhan for the prayer and then order someone to lead the prayer then I would go from behind and burn the houses of men who did not present themselves for the (compulsory congregational) prayer. By Him, in Whose Hands my soul is, if anyone of them had known that he would get a bone covered with good meat or two (small) pieces of meat present in between two ribs, he would have turned up for the 'Isha prayer."

30: Qur’an 5:51 “Believers, take not Jews and Christians for your friends.”

31: Bukhari: V5B59N727 “When Allah’s Apostle became seriously sick, he started covering his face with a woolen sheet. When he felt short of breath, he removed it, and said, ‘That is so! Allah’s curse be on Jews and Christians.’”

Narrated By 'Aisha : (The wife of the Prophet) "When the ailment of Allah's Apostle became aggravated, he requested his wives to permit him to be (treated) nursed in my house, and they gave him permission. He came out (to my house), walking between two men with his feet dragging on the ground, between 'Abbas bin 'Abdul-Muttalib and another man" 'Ubaidullah said, "I told 'Abdullah of what 'Aisha had said, 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas said to me, 'Do you know who is the other man whom 'Aisha did not name?' I said, 'No.' Ibn 'Abbas said, 'It was 'Ali bin Abu Talib." 'Aisha, the wife of the Prophet used to narrate saying, "When Allah's Apostle entered my house and his disease became aggravated, he said, " Pour on me the water of seven water skins, the mouths of which have not been untied, so that I may give advice to the people.' So we let him sit in a big basin belonging to Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet and then started to pour water on him from these water skins till he started pointing to us with his hands intending to say, 'You have done your job." 'Aisha added, "Then he went out to the people and led them in prayer and preached to them." 'Aisha and 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas said, "When Allah's Apostle became ill seriously, he started covering his face with his woollen sheet, and when he felt short of breath, he removed it from hi; face and said, 'That is so! Allah's (curse be on the Jews and the Christians, as they took the graves of their prophets as (places of worship),' intending to warn (the Muslims) of what they had done." 'Aisha added, "I argued with Allah's Apostle repeatedly about that matter (i.e. his order that Abu Bakr should lead the people in prayer in his place when he was ill), and what made me argue so much, was, that it never occurred to my mind that after the Prophet, the people would ever love a man who had taken his place, and I felt that anybody standing in his place, would be a bad omen to the people, so I wanted Allah's Apostle to give up the idea of choosing Abu Bakr (to lead the people in prayer)."

He didn’t curse all the Jews and Christians but those particular grave worshipping ones so that the Muslims could be careful and not doing the same thing.

32: Qur’an 21:98 “Verily you (disbelieving Infidels), and the gods that you worship besides Allah, are the fuel for Hell, faggots for the fire! Certainly you will enter it! Had their (idols) been (real) alihah (gods), they would have kept them out of Hell. Therein, sobbing will be your lot. Breathing with deep sighs, roaring. You will hear nothing but wailing and groaning.”

Which translation has the word FAGGOTS????????? CRAIG HAS GONE TOOO FARRR!!!!!!!! THIS IS TOO OFFENSIVE!! SHUT DOWN YOUR SITE!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE MAKING A MOCKERY OUT OF ISLAM LIKE THIS? IS THIS WHAT YOUR “HOLY SPIRIT” INSPIRES YOU TO DO????????

33: Bukhari: V5B59N733 “While Umar was talking to the people, Abu Bakr said, ‘Sit down, Umar!’ But he refused. So the people came to Abu and left him. Bakr said, ‘To proceed, if you used to worship Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but if anyone of you used to worship Allah, then Allah is alive and shall never die.’”

No one ever used to worship Muhammad, but after his death so many people were shocked and couldn’t believe it. So Abu Bakr was just reminding them that Muhammad was only a man and he is dead. So move on with your lives and continue worshipping Allah who does not die (unlike the God that Christians worship, who could die).

34: Bukhari: V4B56N830-1 “The Meccan people requested Allah’s Apostle to show them a miracle, and so during the lifetime of the Prophet the moon was split into two parts. On that the Prophet said, ‘Bear witness [to my god].’”

How pathetic can a man get when he begins to insert his own words into the hadith. He is trying to show that Muhammad believed in a moon god, which has been refuted here

Narrated By Abdullah bin Masud : During the lifetime of the Prophet the moon was split into two parts and on that the Prophet said, "Bear witness (to thus)."

BEAR WITNESS TO THE MIRACLE THAT HE IS PERFORMING, NOT TO THE MOON AS HIS GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I DON’T KNOW HOW THIS MAN CAN EVEN LET HIS SITE STILL BE RUNNING AFTER HE HAS BEEN EXPOSED SO MISERABLY!!!

35: Qur’an 8:30 “Remember how the unbelievers plotted against you (Muhammad), to get you out (of your home). They plotted, and Allah too had arranged a plot; but Allah is the best schemer.”

Allah only deceives those who deserve to be deceived unlike the biblical God that Craig believes in who deceives his own prophets.

And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. (King James Version, but in the NIV they changed the word to ‘enticed’ so that they wont expose the God they believe in as a deceiver)

36: BukhariV1B7N1331 “The Prophet said, ‘I have been given five things which were not given to any one else before me. 1. Allah made me victorious by awe by His terrorizing my enemies. 2. The earth has been made for me. 3. Booty has been made lawful for me yet it was not lawful for anyone else before me. 4. I have been given the right of intercession. 5. Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation only but I have been sent to all mankind.’”

Notice how I highlighted the second part, and then compare it with what the Prophet really said.

The Prophet said, "I have been given five things which were not given to any one else before me.

1. Allah made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month's journey.

2. The earth has been made for me (and for my followers) a place for praying and a thing to perform Tayammum, therefore anyone of my followers can pray wherever the time of a prayer is due.

3. The booty has been made Halal (lawful) for me yet it was not lawful for anyone else before me.

5. Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation only but I have been sent to all mankind.

Craig was trying to show that the Prophet said the world was created for him. Showing that our Beloved Prophet said such a blasphemous thing. Well he didn’t! When Allah wants the truth to be shown, IT WOULD! (Surah 17:81)

37: Bukhari: V4B56N732 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘I have five names: I am Muhammad and Ahmad, the praised one; I am al-Mahi through whom Allah will eliminate infidelity [by killing every infidel]; I am al-Hashir who will be the first to be resurrected [beating Jesus]; and I am also al-Aqib, because there will be no prophet after me.’”

Now people compare with what the Prophet really said and tell me what you notice.

Narrated By Jubair bin Mutim : Allah's Apostle said, "I have five names: I am Muhammad and Ahmad; I am Al-Mahi through whom Allah will eliminate infidelity; I am Al-Hashir who will be the first to be resurrected, the people being resurrected there after; and I am also Al-'Aqib (i.e. There will be no prophet after me)."

Did the Prophet say that Allah will eliminate infidelity by having all the infidels killed? DID HE CRAIG?? MAYBE, I MEAN JUSTTTTTTTT MAYBEEEEEEEE the Prophet meant that God will eliminate infidelity by having all the people guided to Islam. DON’T U THINK THAT’S POSSIBLE OR ARE YOU A MIND READER CRAIG????????? And Jesus never died in the first place for him to be resurrected.

38: Bukhari: V1B2N13 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘By Him in Whose Hands my life is, none of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father and his children.’”

Is Craig trying to make a point by posting this hadith? Well just in case he is then look at what Jesus says in the gospels.

³⁵For I have come to turn
   " 'a man against his father,
      a daughter against her mother,
   a daughter-in-law against her motherinlaw—
       ³⁶a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.'^[e] ³⁷"Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; ³⁸and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. ³⁹Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

Now don’t get me wrong, I am not criticizing Jesus for saying that, but I only posted that JUST IN CASE CRAIG WINN WAS TRYING TO MAKE A POINT WITH THAT HADITH.

39: Bukhari: V9B88N174 “I heard the Prophet saying, ‘Islam cannot change!’”

I don’t know what point you were trying to make with this hadith, but whatever it is, it won’t work because you misquoted the HELL OUT OF IT.

Narrated By Sahl bin Sa'd : I heard the Prophet saying, "I am your predecessor at the Lake-Fount (Kauthar), and whoever will come to it, will drink from it, and whoever will drink from it, will never become thirsty after that. There will come to me some people whom I know and they know me, and then a barrier will be set up between me and them." Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri added that the Prophet further said: "I will say those people are from me. It will be said, 'You do not know what changes and new things they did after you.' Then I will say, 'Far removed (from mercy), far removed (from mercy), those who changed (the religion) after me!"

40: Bukhari: V5B58N193 “The Prophet cursed those that had teased him. He said, ‘O Allah! Destroy the chiefs of Quraysh, Abu Jahl, Utba, Shaba, Umaiya, and Ubai.’ I saw these people killed on the day of Badr battle and thrown in the pit except Ubai whose body parts were mutilated.”

Narrated By 'Abdullah : While the Prophet was prostrating, surrounded by some of Quraish, 'Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait brought the intestines (i.e. abdominal contents) of a camel and put them over the back of the Prophet. The Prophet did not raise his head, (till) Fatima, came and took it off his back and cursed the one who had done the harm. The Prophet said, "O Allah! Destroy the chiefs of Quraish, Abu Jahl bin Hisham, 'Utba bin Rabi'al, Shaba bin Rabi'a, Umaiya bin Khalaf or Ubai bin Khalaf." (The sub-narrator Shu'ba, is not sure of the last name.) I saw these people killed on the day of Badr battle and thrown in the well except Umaiya or Ubai whose body parts were mutilated but he was not thrown in the well.

YEAH????????????? Only TEAAAAAAAAAAAAASED him huh!!?? PLUS IT WAS THE PROPHETS DAUGHTER THAT CURSED THEM. SHE HAD EVERY RIGHT AS WELL. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF SOMONE DID THAT TO YOUR FATHER CRAIG?

41: Bukhari: V4B52N220 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror. While I was sleeping [besieging], the keys to the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand.’”

42: Bukhari: V4B56N814 “There was a Christian who embraced Islam and he used to write the revelations for the Prophet. Later on he returned to Christianity again he used to say: ‘Muhammad knows nothing but what I have written for him.’”

Narrated By Anas : There was a Christian who embraced Islam and read Surat-al-Baqara and Al-Imran, and he used to write (the revelations) for the Prophet. Later on he returned to Christianity again and he used to say: "Muhammad knows nothing but what I have written for him." Then Allah caused him to die, and the people buried him, but in the morning they saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, "This is the act of Muhammad and his companions. They dug the grave of our companion and took his body out of it because he had run away from them." They again dug the grave deeply for him, but in the morning they again saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, "This is an act of Muhammad and his companions. They dug the grave of our companion and threw his body outside it, for he had run away from them." They dug the grave for him as deep as they could, but in the morning they again saw that the earth had thrown his body out. So they believed that what had befallen him was not done by human beings and had to leave him thrown (on the ground).

43: Qur’an 104:4 “He will be sure to be thrown into that which breaks him into pieces, flung to the Consuming One. And what will explain that which Breaks him into Pieces, the Consuming One? It is the fire kindled by Allah.” [Allah is in hell, kindling the fire.]

The fire is kindled or aroused by Allah by the leave of his command. HOW THE HELL DOES THAT MAKE ALLAH IN HELL???????

44: Qur’an 55:35 “There will be let loose on you white-hot flames of fire and smoke that chokes so that you will not be able to defend yourselves. How many
