Allah’s Likes and Dislikes-(iii)

Allah likes Muslims who beat their wives and treat them as domestic animals

Thanks to the power of the Internet, it is now widely known that Islam allows Muslim husbands to physically beat their wives. This deep secret and shame of Islam is finally out quite extensively to the world. Here is the verse from the Qur’an which permits a Muslim husband to beat his wife/wives whenever he wishes to do so. In this verse the reason why Allah allowed men to beat their wives is also provided. It is because the men are the owners of their women (wives and sex–slaves). In part-3(ii) of this series we learned from a few authentic ahadith that a woman is a husband’s property or chattel and that the husband is the owner of his wives’ private parts, including every element of her reproductive organ (read more on this [url=http://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/abulkazem/SexualityinIslam.htm] here [/url] and [url=http://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/abulkazem/Women_in_Islam.htm]here).[/url] See Islamic beating of women [url=http://www.rawa.org/beating.htm] here.[/url] Men are protectors and maintainers of women; women must be devoutly obedient, if not then beat them...4:34 [quote] [i]004.034[/i] [b]YUSUFALI:[/b] Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all). [/quote] When reading the above translation, please ignore the words inside the parenthesis. They were inserted by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, who was deeply embarrassed and ostensibly wanted to portray the Qur’an as a merciful book, especially towards women. The original Qur’an does not have the word ‘lightly’. The following verse from the Qur’an tells us that a true believer (i.e., a true Muslim) is not hesitant to beat his wives. In this verse Allah is talking about his ardent slave, Prophet Job (Ayub). Allah asked Job to beat his wife with a little grass (or a green branch?); he was a true believer(Allah likes wife-beating)…38:41–44 [quote] [i]038.041[/i] [b]YUSUFALI: [/b] Commemorate Our Servant Job. Behold he cried to his Lord: "The Evil One has afflicted me with distress and suffering!" [i]038.042[/i] [b]YUSUFALI:[/b] (The command was given:) "Strike with thy foot: here is (water) wherein to wash, cooland refreshing, and (water) to drink." [i]038.043[/i] [b]YUSUFALI:[/b] And We gave him (back) his people, and doubled their number,- as a Grace from Ourselves, and a thing for commemoration, for all who have Understanding. [i]038.044[/i] [b]YUSUFALI:[/b] "And take in thy hand a little grass, and strike therewith: and break not (thy oath)." Truly We found him full of patience and constancy. How excellent in Our service! ever did he turn (to Us)! [/quote] If you are confused then read the translation (38:44) by Shakir. [quote] [b]SHAKIR:[/b] And take in your hand a green branch and beat her with It (sic)and do not break your oath; surely We found him patient; most excellent the servant! Surely he was frequent m returning (to Allah). [/quote] To save the embarrassment, Abdullah Yusuf Ali, wrote a foot note: [quote] In his worst distress Job was patient and constant in faith, but apparently his wife was not. According to the Book of Job (ii, 9.10), “Then said his wife unto him, Dost though still retain thine integrity? Curse God, and die. But he said unto her, “Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not job sin with lips.” He must have said in his haste to the woman that he would beat her: he asked now to correct her with only a wisp of grass to show that he was gentle and humble as well as patient and constant (Ali, 1983, p. 1227, foot note 4202). [/quote] If Qur’an is correct then Abdullah Yusuf Ali is wrong. The verse says clearly that Job beat her with a green branch. It did not use any adverb, such as, mildly or lightly. In fact, the beating could have been painful. Now, here is a hadith which tells us that a Muslim man does not need to provide any reason to beat his wife/wives. Allah has bestowed the absolute right to Muslim men to beat women, whenever and wherever they wish. Please note that this hadith has been narrated by Umar, the mighty Caliph of Islam. A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife... (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 11.2142). [quote] [i]Book 11, Number 2142:[/i] Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife. [/quote] Even Muhammad’s dearest wife, Aisha complained that the Muslim women received the worst beating from their husbands. Let us read the following hadith from Sahih Bukhari. A woman received worst beating from her impotent husband (Aisha: Muslim women were the worst sufferers); Muhammad approved the beating...(Sahih Bukhari, 7.72.715). [quote] [i]Volume 7, Book 72, Number 715:[/i] Narrated 'Ikrima: Rifa'a divorced his wife whereupon 'AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. 'Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah's Apostle came, 'Aisha said, "I have not seen any woman (sic) suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!" When 'AbdurRahman heard that his wife had gone to the Prophet, he came with his two sons from another wife. She said, "By Allah! I have done no wrong to him but he is impotent and is as useless to me as this," holding and showing the fringe of her garment, 'Abdur-Rahman said, "By Allah, O Allah's Apostle! She has told a lie! I am very strong and can satisfy her but she is disobedient and wants to go back to Rifa'a." Allah's Apostle said, to her, "If that is your intention, then know that it is unlawful for you to remarry Rifa'a unless Abdur-Rahman has had sexual intercourse with you." Then the Prophet saw two boys with 'Abdur-Rahman and asked (him), "Are these your sons?" On that 'AbdurRahman said, "Yes." The Prophet said, "You claim what you claim (i.e. that he is impotent)? But by Allah, these boys resemble him as a crow resembles a crow." [/quote] Has Muhammad ever beaten any women? To answer this formidable question let us read these ahadith from Sahih Bukhari. A dignified woman, Jauniyaa (a princess) was brought to Muhammad to have sex with him but she was reluctant to give herself to Muhammad; Muhammad was angry and raised his hand to beat her... (Sahih Bukhari, 7.63.181, 182) [quote] [i]Volume 7, Book 63, Number 181:[/i] Narrated Al-Awza: I asked Az-Zuhri, "Which of the wives of the Prophet sought refuge with Allah from him?" He said "I was told by 'Ursa that 'Aisha said, 'When the daughter of Al-Jaun was brought to Allah's Apostle (as his bride) and he went near her, she said, "I seek refuge with Allah from you." He said, "You have sought refuge with The Great; return to your family." [i]Volume 7, Book 63, Number 182:[/i] Narrated Abu Usaid: We went out with the Prophet to a garden called Ash-Shaut till we reached two walls between which we sat down. The Prophet said, "Sit here," and went in (the garden). The Jauniyya (a lady from Bani Jaun) had been brought and lodged in a house in a date-palm garden in the home of Umaima bint An-Nu'man bin Sharahil, and her wet nurse was with her. When the Prophet entered upon her, he said to her, "Give me yourself (in marriage) as a gift." She said, "Can a princess give herself in marriage to an ordinary man?" The Prophet raised his hand to pat her so that she might become tranquil. She said, "I seek refuge with Allah from you." He said, "You have sought refuge with One Who gives refuge. Then the Prophet came out to us and said, "O Abu Usaid! Give her two white linen dresses to wear and let her go back to her family." Narrated Sahl and Abu Usaid: The Prophet married Umaima bint Sharahil, and when she was brought to him, he stretched his hand towards her. It seemed that she disliked that, whereupon the Prophet ordered Abu Usaid to prepare her and to provide her with two white linen dresses. (See Hadith No. 541). [/quote] Please ignore the word ‘in marriage’ inserted inside the parentheses by the translator. Muhammad clearly wanted free sex from this princess (taken as a captive in an Islamic raid), as he asked her to surrender her person to him as a gift. In Islam one is not allowed even to look at an unrelated stranger woman. So how could Muhammad simply ‘pat’ her either on her shoulder, cheek or back? Muhammad even beat or punched his dearest wife, Aisha. Let us read this hadith from Sahih Muslim. When sleeping with Aisha, Muhammad surreptitiously left his bed and went to the graveyard at Baqi; Aisha spied on him and followed Muhammad; when Muhammad learned Aisha’s misdeed he hit her (beat her) on her chest that caused much pain to Aisha…4.2127 [quote] [i]Book 004, Number 2127:[/i] Muhammad b. Qais said (to the people): Should I not narrate to you (a hadith of the Holy Prophet) on my authority and on the authority of my mother? We thought that he meant the mother who had given him birth. He (Muhammad b. Qais) then reported that it was 'A'isha who had narrated this: Should I not narrate to you about myself and about the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)? We said: Yes. She said: When it was my turn for Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) to spend the night with me, he turned his side, put on his mantle and took off his shoes and placed them near his feet, and spread the corner of his shawl on his bed and then lay down till he thought that I had gone to sleep. He took hold of his mantle slowly and put on the shoes slowly, and opened the door and went out and then closed it lightly. I covered my head, put on my veil and tightened my waist wrapper, and then went out following his steps till he reached Baqi'. He stood there and he stood for a long time. He then lifted his hands three times, and then returned and I also returned. He hastened his steps and I also hastened my steps. He ran and I too ran. He came (to the house) and I also came (to the house). I, however, preceded him and I entered (the house), and as I lay down in the bed, he (the Holy Prophet) entered the (house), and said: Why is it, O 'A'isha, that you are out of breath? I said: There is nothing. He said: Tell me or the Subtle and the Aware would inform me. I said: Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransom for you, and then I told him (the whole story). He said: Was it the darkness (of your shadow) that I saw in front of me? I said: Yes. He struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you? She said: Whatsoever the people conceal, Allah will know it. He said: Gabriel came to me when you saw me. He called me and he concealed it from you. I responded to his call, but I too concealed it from you (for he did not come to you), as you were not fully dressed. I thought that you had gone to sleep, and I did not like to awaken you, fearing that you may be frightened. He (Gabriel) said: Your Lord has commanded you to go to the inhabitants of Baqi' (to those lying in the graves) and beg pardon for them. I said: Messenger of Allah, how should I pray for them (How should I beg forgiveness for them)? He said: Say, Peace be upon the inhabitants of this city (graveyard) from among the Believers and the Muslims, and may Allah have mercy on those who have gone ahead of us, and those who come later on, and we shall, God willing, join you. [/quote] Lastly, here is what Allah had told the Mumin Muslims during the last pilgrimage of Muhammad. Women are domestic animals; beat them (Tabari, 1990, pp. 9.112-114) This narration is quite lengthy. I shall quote only the relevant part. Please note that al-Tabari sources this hadith from this chain of narrators: Ibn Humayd—Salamah—Ibn Ishaq—‘Abdallah b. Abi Najih: [quote] ...“Now then, O people, you have a right over your wives and they have a right over you. You have [the right] that they should not cause anyone of whom you dislike to tread your beds, and that they should not commit any open indecency (fahishah). If they do, then God permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain from [evil], they have the right to their food and clothing in accordance with custom (bi’l-maruf). Treat women well, for they are [like] domestic animals (‘awan) with you and do not possess anything for themselves. You have taken them only as a trust from God, and you have made the enjoyment of their persons lawful by the word of God, so understand and listen to my words, O people. I have conveyed the Message, and have left you with something which, if you hold fast to it, you will never go astray; that is, the Book of God and the sunnah of His Prophet. Listen to my words, O people, for I have conveyed the message and understand [it]. Know for certain that every Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, and that all Muslims are brethren. It is not lawful for a person [to take] from his brother except that which he has given him willingly, so do not wrong. [/quote]

Allah hates the private parts of His believers, especially Muslimahs’ private parts

According to Islam, Allah had created every part of a human being. Without any of these parts our body cannot function efficiently, especially our private organs. Without them no creature on earth could survive. Surprisingly, Allah hates these crucial organs. His greatest distaste is reserved for the sexual organs of human beings, especially those of women. Allah just hates women’s sexual organs. That is why he commands all Muslimahs to be inside Burka, the Islamic mobile tent, you might call them. Let us read a few ahadith on Allah’s great distaste for women’s pudenda. If a woman puts off her clothes in a place other than her house then she tears the veil between her and Allah… (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 31.3999) [quote] [i]Sunaan Abu Dawud, Book 31, Number 3999:[/i] Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: AbulMalih said: Some women of Syria came to Aisha. She asked them: From whom are you? They replied: From the people of Syria. She said: Perhaps you belong to the place where women enter hot baths (for washing ). The said: Yes. She said: I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say: If a woman puts off her clothes in a place other than her house, she tears the veil between her and Allah, the Exalted. [/quote] You can show your private parts only to your wives and your slave women; in public no one should look at private parts of each other; when alone you should also show shyness to Allah, do not be naked when alone…(Sahih Bukhari, [url=http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/abudawud/031.sat.html]31.4006).[/url] Aisha never saw Muhammad’s private parts (ibn Sa’d, 1972, p.1.179). [quote] ‘Abd al-Hamid al-Himmani informed us on the authority of Sufyan at-Thawri, he on the authority of Mansur, he on the authority of Musa Ibn ‘Abd Allah Ibn Yazid, he on the authority of a woman, she on the authority of ‘Ayisha; she said: I never saw the (private parts) of the Prophet, may Allah bless him. [/quote]

Allah likes Muslims who sexually molest small child-girls

Allah allows Muslim men to sexually molest, child girls—even baby girls. Allah had allowed Muhammad to do this. So, this provision is applicable to all Muslims. The following verse in the Qur’an tells us that a Muslim man can marry a child-girl who is yet to attain puberty, that is, who has not yet started her period. For menopause women, the waiting time for divorce is three months, same for women who are yet to menstruate (i.e., a Muslim man can have sex with a girl who has not yet started menstruating–a child-girl); for the pregnant women, the waiting time is until she delivers the child...[url=http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/065.qmt.html]65:4-5[/url] Allah’s messenger, Muhammad did just this. He married a little girl, Aisha, his friend Abu Bakr’s daughter when she was merely six years old. Muhammad then had sex with her when she turned nine. In recent times much has been written about this child-bride of Muhammad. I shall just cite a few ahadith on Allah’s permission to marry a child-girl. Khadijah died three years before Muhammad went to Medina; he then married Aisha when she was six and consummated the marriage when she turned nine...(Sahih Bukhari,[url=http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/058.sbt.html] 5.58.236)[/url] Muhammad married Aisha when she was six and she went to live with Muhammad when she was nine. Aisha’s mother prepared Aisha to live with Muhammad… (Sahih Muslim,[url=http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muslim/008.smt.html] 8.3309, 3310)[/url] Muhammad even wanted to marry a crawling baby-girl. Let us read what ibn Ishaq, the most authentic biographer of Muhammad wrote about this. [quote] (Suhayli, ii.79: In the riwaya of Yunus I. I recorded that the apostle saw her (Ummu’l–Fadl) when she was a baby crawling before him and said, ‘If she grows up and I am still alive I will marry her.’ But he died before she grew up and Sufyan b. al-Aswad b. ‘Abdu’l-Asad al-Makhzumi married her and she bore him Rizq and Lubaba… (ibn Ishaq, 2001, p. 311). [/quote] Here are a few ahadith that tell us how Muhammad used to fondle a child-girl Aisha. This is Allah’s permission to sexually molest a little girl—about nine or ten years old. During her period Muhammad used to fondle Aisha in bath … (Sahih Bukhari,[url=http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/006.sbt.html] 1.6.298).[/url] Muhammad put his cheek and chest in between the naked thighs of a menstruating Aisha... (Sunaan Abu Dawud,[url=http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/abudawud/001.sat.html] 1.0270).[/url] After sexual intercourse with Aisha and Maimuna, Muhammad washed his penis by pouring water from his left hand then he performed ablution… (Sahih Muslim, [url=http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muslim/003.smt.html] 3.0616,[/url] [url=http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muslim/003.smt.html] 0620).[/url] After sexual intercourse Muhammad and Aisha used to take bath from the same container… (Sahih Muslim, [url=http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muslim/003.smt.html]3.0625, [/url][url=http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muslim/003.smt.html] 0628,[/url][url=http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muslim/003.smt.html] 0629,[/url][url=http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muslim/003.smt.html] 0630).[/url]

Allah will not look at those who trail their garments

Allah does not like people who dress in a royal manner. Muhammad possessed deep hatred for all rulers and so does Allah. He even hated the manners in which they dressed, so much so, that anyone who dressed in the fashion of a king Muhammad cursed him. Here is a hadith from Sunaan Abu Dawud. If anyone trails his garment arrogantly Allah will not look at him on the Resurrection Day… (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 3.32.4074). This hadith is not available online. So let me quote it from the print version of Sunaan Abu Dawud. [quote] [i]Sunaan Abu Dawud, Vol.iii, Hadith number 4074:[/i] Ibn ‘Umar reported the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) as saying: If anyone trails his garment arrogantly, Allah will not look at him on the Day of Resurrection. Then Abu Bakr said: One of the sides of my lower garment trails, but still I remain careful about it. He said: You are not of those who do so conceitedly. [/quote]
