Description of Paradise

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

 

by Imaam Ibn al-Qayyim, Rahimahullaah

Ibn al-Qayyim said, in regards to the description of the Paradise and the delights that it contains:

“And if you ask about its ground and its soil, then it is of musk and saffron.

And if you ask about its roof, then it is the Throne of the Most Merciful.

And if you ask about its rocks, then they are pearls and jewels.

And if you ask about its buildings, then they are made of bricks of gold and silver.

And if you ask about its trees, then it does not contain a single tree except that its trunk is made of gold and silver.

And if you ask about its fruits, then they are softer than butter and sweeter than honey.

And if you ask about its leaves, then they are softer than the softest cloth.

And if you ask about its rivers, then there are rivers of milk who’s taste does not change, and rivers of wine that is delicious to those who drink it, and rivers of honey that is pure, and rivers of water that is fresh.

And if you ask about their food, then it is fruits from whatever they will choose, and the meat of whatever birds they desire.

And if you ask about their drink, then it is Tasneem, ginger, and Kaafoor.

And if you ask about their drinking cups, then they are crystal-clear and made of gold and silver.

And if you ask about its shade, then a fast rider would ride in the shade of one of its trees for a hundred years and not escape it.

And if you ask about its vastness, then the lowest of its people would have within his kingdom and walls and palaces and gardens the distance that would be travelled in a thousand years.

And if you ask about its tents and encampments, then one tent is like a concealed pearl that is sixty miles long.

And if you ask about its towers, then they are rooms above rooms in buildings that have rivers running underneath them.

And if you ask about how far it reaches into the sky, then look at the shining star that is visible, as well as those that are far in the heavens that the eyesight cannot possibly reach.

And if you ask about the clothing of its inhabitants, then they are of silk and gold.

And if you ask about its beds, then its blankets are of the finest silk laid out in the highest of its levels.

And if you ask about the faces of its inhabitants and their beauty, then they are like the image of the Moon.

And if you ask about their age, then they are young ones of 33 years in the image of Adam, the father of humanity.

And if you ask about what they will be hearing, then it is the singing of their wives from among the Hoor al-’Ayn, and better than that are the voices of the Angels and the Prophets, and better than that is the Speech of the Lord of the Worlds.

And if you ask about their servants, then they are young boys of everlasting youth who resemble scattered pearls.

And if you ask about their brides and wives, then they are young and full-breasted and have had the liquid of youth flow through their limbs; the Sun runs along the beauty of her face if she shows it, light shines from between her teeth if she smiles; if you meet her love, then say whatever you want regarding the joining of two lights; he sees his face in the roundness of her cheek as if he is looking into a polished mirror, and he sees the brightness from behind her muscles and bones; if she were to be unleashed upon the World, she would fill what is between the Heavens and the Earth with a beautiful wind, and the mouths of the creation would glorifiy, praise, and exclaim greatness, and everything between the East and the West would be adorned for her, and every eye would be shut from everthing but her, and the light of the Sun would be outshone just as the light of the Sun outshines the light of the stars, and everyone on the face of the Earth would believe in the Ever-Living, the One who Sustains and Protects all the exists.

And the covering on her head is better than the World and all that is in it, and she does not increase with age except in beauty; free from an umbilical cord, childbirth and menses, and pure of mucous, saliva, urine and other filthy things; her youth never fades, her clothing is never worn out, no garment can be created that matches her beauty, and no one who is with her can ever become bored; her attention is restricted to her husband, so she desires none but him, just as his attention is restricted to her so she is the sole object of his desire, and he is with her in utmost safety and security, as none has touched her before of either humans or Jinn.

And if you ask about the Day of Increase (in reward) and the visit of the all-Mighty, all-Wise, and the sight of His Face – free from any resemblance or likeness to anything – as you see the Sun in the middle of the day and the full Moon on a cloudless night, then listen on the day that the caller will call: ‘O People of Paradise! Your Lord – Blessed and Exalted – requests you to visit Him, so come to visit Him!’ So they will say: ‘We hear and obey!’

Until, when they finally reach the wide valley where they will all meet – and none of them will turn down the request of the caller – the Lord – Blessed and Exalted – will order His Chair to be brought there. Then, pulpits of light will emerge, as well as pulpits of pearls, gemstone, gold, and silver. The lowest of them in rank will sit on sheets of musk, and will not see what those who are on the chairs above them are given. When they are comfortable where they are sitting and are secure in their places, and the caller calls: ‘O People of Paradise! You have an appointment with Allaah in which He wishes to reward you!’ So they will say: ‘And what is that reward? Has He not already made our faces bright, made our scales heavy, entered us into Paradise, and pushed us away from the Fire?’

And when they are like that, all of a sudden a light shines that encompasses all of Paradise. So, they raise their heads, and, behold: the Compeller – Exalted is He, and Holy are His Names – has come to them from above them and majestified them and said: ‘O People of Paradise! Peace be upon you!’ So, this greeting will not be responded to with anything better than: ‘O Allaah! You are Peace, and from You is Peace! Blessed are You, O possessor of Majesty and Honor!’ So the Lord – Blessed and Exalted – will laugh to them and say: ‘O People of Paradise! Where are those who used to obey Me without having ever seen Me? This is the Day of Increase!’

So, they will all give the same response: ‘We are pleased, so be pleased with us!’ So, He will say: ‘O People of Paradise! If I were not pleased with you, I would not have made you inhabitants of My Paradise! So, ask of Me!’ So, they will all give the same response: ‘Show us your Face so that we may look at it!’ So, the Lord – Mighty and Majestic – will remove his covering and will majestify them and will cover them with His Light, which, if Allaah – the Exalted – had not Willed not to burn them, would have burned them.

And there will not remain a single person in this gathering except that his Lord – the Exalted – will speak to him and say: ‘Do you remember the day that you did this and that?’ and He will remind him of some of his bad deeds in the Worldy life, so he will say: ‘O Lord! Will you not forgive me?’ So, He will say: ‘Of course! You have not reached this position of yours (in Paradise) except by my forgiveness.’

So, how sweet is this speech to the ears, and how cooled are the righteous eyes by the glance at His Noble Face in the Afterlife…

{Some faces that Day will be shining and radiant, l ooking at their Lord…} (al-Qiyaamah:22-3)

  8. Umm selam everybody.. I am muslim thankgod and i practice as much as i can.my comment would be or should i say my question is why is there ” full breasted” young women and huris and stuff, like i dont get this walla I think this is a lie, these things are not mentioned in the quran are they? if they are tovbe may allah forgive my jahilness. But i think that heaven is a place of women and wine etc like the women are or the men so they can please themselves ie sleeping etc. I dont think heaven is for that. I think some of these discriptions may have been altered with like 800 years ago.

  9. When he will say do you remember the day that you did this and that?’ and He will remind me of some of my bad deeds in the Worldy life, I’ll say ” O Lord of all Worlds and all Universes and all Creations, your creation Iblis was very strong, very powerful, very intelligent, he fought with me everytime, sometimes he won sometimes i won but in the end i and only i won as i am in paradise with your bountiful blessings ”

  16. shameel, another authentic article.

    Muslims believe that when a person dies two angels, Nakeer and Munkar will visit him in his grave. They will question him about his faith. If he is a believer his tomb will be widened 70 cubits square (14.17 sq meters) and it will be illumined. Then he will be told to sleep like a bridegroom until the Day of Resurrection, when Allah will raise him up to reward him. If he is found a “hypocrite” (a disbeliever) they will order the tomb to squeeze him until his ribs are crushed.

    Note that the actions of the person are not called into account. All that matters is whether he believes in Muhammad or not. That is all Muhammad wanted. He wanted people to believe in him. That was his only goal.

    The Quran says that at the Day of Judgment, the Heaven will be split asunder (Q.84:1) and it will heave with (awful) heaving (Q.52:9), the Sun is overthrown (Q.81:1), the Earth is shaken with her (final) earthquake (Q. 99:1), the moon is eclipsed (Q.75:8) and Angel Israfil will sound the trumpet and all living creatures, mankind, angels and jinn then living, will die. Another blast and all will be raised to life. Allah’s throne will appear in the clouds, carried by 8 angels. Believers will receive a book of their deeds in their right hand, and unbelievers in their left hand. The books will be opened and men’s works weighed on scales (mizan). In fear, men will look for someone to plead with Allah. They will go to Adam, Abraham, Moses and Jesus, but find no help. At last they will turn to Muhammad.

    Muslims also believe that there is a bridge across Hell, named Sirat, which is sharper than the edge of sword and thinner than a hair. Faithful Muslims will cross over it in the “twinkling of an eye” and enter Paradise. Other Muslims may fall into Hell, but will later be released. Unbelievers will fall into Hell and remain forever.”

    No one knows the exact time for the Day of Judgment, but it is going to be a Friday 10th of Muharram. At that time Allah will resurrect all the dead. He will collect their dispersed dusts and call them to visit him. People will see Allah as clear as seeing the sun in a not cloudy day. Then he will judge them based on their beliefs. Those who did not associate any other God with Allah, irrespective of what crimes they have committed, will go to Paradise.

    There are also verses in the Quran that speak of good deeds.

    [Al-Imran 3:30] On the Day when every soul will find itself confronted with all that it hath done of good and all that it hath done of evil (every soul) will long that there might be a mighty space of distance between it and that (evil).

    However, evil for Muhammad did not mean what we think of it. By evil he meant disbelief. This is clear from the following verse.

    [Ibrahim 14:44] And warn mankind of a day when the doom will come upon them, and those who did wrong will say: Our Lord! Reprieve us for a little while. We will obey Thy call and will follow the messengers. (It will be answered): Did ye not swear before that there would be no end for you?

    For Allah nothing is more abhorrent than disbelief and once you believe all your sins will be forgiven, and your place in paradise is guaranteed. In a Hadith noted by Bukhari, the importance of belief over good deeds is emphasized.

    Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 445:
    Narrated Abu Dhar: The Prophet said, “Gabriel said to me, ‘Whoever amongst your followers die without having worshipped others besides Allah, will enter Paradise (or will not enter the (Hell) Fire).” The Prophet was asked. “Even if he has committed illegal sexual intercourse or theft?” He replied, “Even then.”

    For disbelievers there is no salvation.

    [al-Ma'idah 5:36] As for those who disbelieve, lo! if all that is in the earth were theirs, and as much again therewith, to ransom them from the doom on the Day of Resurrection, it would not be accepted from them. Theirs will be a painful doom.

    [al-Kahf 18:106] That is their reward: hell, because they disbelieved, and made a jest of Our revelations and Our messengers.

    [Ta Ha 20:100] Whoso turneth away from it, he verily will bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection,

    We humans put a lot of emphasis on helping each other and on charitable works. Will those good deeds have any effect? No! Allah does not give a hoot whether you spent your entire life serving other humans and doing good deeds. If you did not believe in Muhammad you will go to hell no matter how much good you have done and if you believed in him all your sins and crimes can be forgiven.

    [al-`Ankabut 29:25] The love between you is only in the life of the world. Then on the Day of Resurrection ye will deny each other and curse each other, and your abode will be the Fire, and ye will have no helpers.

    “The love between you is only in the life of the world,” says Allah. Methinks these words cannot be from the creator of mankind. They must belong to a man who was unable to love and never experienced it. They describe the mind of a narcissist.

    For a narcissist love has a very utilitarian scope. He loves others in the same way that he loves an object, like his car. As long as others satisfy his narcissistic needs, praise him, adulate him, attend to his physical and emotional needs, he loves them. If they fail in that he discards them, with the same emotional detachment that one would discard a broken car not worth fixing. The narcissist loves his spouse, children and friends as long as they provide him with his narcissistic supply and bolster his self image as a successful husband, father, citizen, etc. He loves others as long as they satisfy his needs and he can exploit them. He will discard them when he no longer needs them.

    The Quran says the face of those who did not accept Allah will be blackened so they can be easily identified.

    [az-Zumar 39:60] And on the Day of Resurrection thou (Muhammad) seest those who lied concerning Allah with their faces blackened. Is not the home of the scorners in hell?

    Does that mean that the black people will go to hell mixed up the unbelievers whose faces will turn black?

    Now this is quite an insult to blacks, but strangely they are the ones who are flocking to Islam. Little they know that Muhammad was quite scornful of blacks.

    This stereotyping is reaffirms in another place.

    [Al-Imran 3:106] On the Day when (some) faces will be whitened and (some) faces will be blackened; and as for those whose faces have been blackened, it will be said unto them: Disbelieved ye after your (profession of) belief? Then taste the punishment for that ye disbelieved.

    The absurdity of these tales is self-evident. However, Muslims are unable to reason. What is the use of a wide and illumined grave to a deceased? Has anyone seen a widened and illumined grave? Is the grave of Muhammad himself widened?

    Islamic Paradise is a physical place. That is why Allah has to collect all the dust of the dead people to punish or reward them. That makes even less sense when we know that we constantly renew the elements that compose our body.

    Muhammad had no idea of the spiritual reality of man that is believed to be independent from the material world. Allah’s rewards are whores, wine, honey, gardens, mansions, cloths with golden embroidery and other material objects. If paradise is a spiritual realm what is the use of all these? His punishment is also physical – fire. Heaven, in Islam, is the place where believers will be reclining under the shade of trees, eating and drinking, and screwing the whores.

    [Surah 55:54-46]“They will recline on carpets whose inner linings will be of rich brocade: the fruit of the gardens will be near. In them will be (Maidens), Chaste, restraining their glances, whom no man or Jinn before them has touched (virgins).”

    Emotionally healthy people cannot be happy when they know their loved ones are suffering. There is something that binds us people together. It is called love. Unless you are a narcissist, you can’t possibly have fun, engage in debauchery and bang whores all day, when you know that your nearest and dearest are suffering. Can anyone possibly enjoy all the goodies of paradise when his loved ones are burning in hell?

    Allah and his prophet did not think of that. That is because Allah is the figment of Muhammad’s imagination and Muhammad was a narcissist. Narcissists feel no love for anyone. The prophet assumed everyone is like him – emotionally sterile, bereft of feelings and empathy.

    Can anyone enjoy paradise when they know that their loved ones who did not believe are being tortured in hell? Obviously Muslims can. If they are capable of murdering their nearest and dearest when they latter leaves faith, they are capable of rejoicing also if they are tortured in hell. Once a person becomes a Muslim, he becomes possessed by the spirit of Muhammad and loses every trace of humanity.

    Good deeds have no merits. Belief in Allah and his messenger is the only requisite to inherit this materialistic paradise.

    This place is only for Muslims. One cannot enter the paradise by believing in God. It’s is the belief in Muhammad that will guarantee such passage. In one place we are lead to believe that People of The Book, i.e. Jews and Christians will be saved,

    [al-Hajj 22:17] Lo! those who believe (this revelation), and those who are Jews, and the Sabaeans and the Christians and the Magians and the idolaters – Lo! Allah will decide between them on the Day of Resurrection. Lo! Allah is Witness over all things.

    Then again, this is contradicted by another verse.

    [al-Ma'idah 5:14] And with those who say: “Lo! we are Christians,” We made a covenant, but they forgot a part of that whereof they were admonished. Therefore We have stirred up enmity and hatred among them till the Day of Resurrection, when Allah will inform them of their handiwork.

    The same is said of the Jews (Q.10:93). According to Islamic thinking, Mother Theresa will be burning in the Hell while Khomeni and Saddam Hussein will go to heaven because they believed in Allah and his messenger.

    It’s up to YOU. YOU came into this world alone. YOU leave alone. YOU leave exactly as YOU entered – without religion or belief.

    • Alex, no one can blame you for your rubbish writings as you’ve already said, you don’t believe in GOD Who created you and created Jesus. obviously hell is the place for people like that. Where do you put your unwanted stock? in the bin. Therefore people who don’t believe and refuse to worship their Creator, they are His unwanted stocks and His bin is the hell fire.

    • Alex..alex…alex….are the signs of god not all around you??? why do you hate the idea of god so much????as far as insulting our religion, we will see sooner or later which one of us is right…just imagine if we are right…i think you would be pissed off pal…

      • mo, Alex will not only piss off but live in eternal regret

  17. Muslim are real sex maniac!!!
    Their heaven is a non stop orgies!!!
    Be warned, it’s graphic!!

    • i will speak to you in an islamic manner but please dont say that because you are dissing our religion is not as you are thinking
      so plz think about the unaceptable comment you have wrote baybe you dont like the religion but you should keep your thoughts to your selp.
      To the nearest meaning our beautiful religion says say something nice or dont say anything

  18. Ismail (the foulmouthed from the religion of peace).

    You sure do represent islam well?Is that the best comment you can make? Where is your sense of scholarliness? What are u doing with your Allah-given brain? Your reaction is a typical More Ham Head (followers of muhammad) one. Followers of muhammad are members of a cult. They do not question their cult leader. They do as their leader had done. He killed so it is justified to kill. He raped, tortured and took slaves. He has shown no respect even for his own kinsmen. He was a paedophile. Muslims regard him as a prophet. Infact he was insane and suffered hallucinations. He was hungry for power and domination and he achieved his dominion through bloodthirsty and lustful tyranny. That is exactly what muslims want to achieve – political, economic and religious domination.

    So instead of cursing me which is typical of muslims when their religion is subjected to scholarly scrunity, go back to the Koran and hadiths and study the contradictions within it and how inhumane, sadistic and lustful it is. You cursed me on behalf of Allah to burn in Hellfire. I say on behalf of Allah because you are very confident of this knowledge which actually is a result of years of brainwashing that you seem to have communicated with Allah and you are 100% sure that you will go to paradise. Here’s an article by your fellow muslim brother who is trying to arrive at the truth rather than cursing like you do. Which sect of islam do you belong to?

    A Quest to Find the 73rd Sect of Islam

    by Amar Khan

    Today , about every sane and knowledgeable muslim is in grave dilemma that whether his sect is righteous one? Whether his prayers will be accepted? Whether he will be going to paradise or not?

    The reason of Muslim’s anxiety lies in this famous and oft quoted hadith, collected by Abu Dawud.

    Abdullah bin Amar (RA) relates that the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) said “Surely things will happen to my people as happened earlier to Israelites, they will resemble each other like one shoe in a pair resembles the other to the extent that if anyone among the Israelites has openly committed adultery to his mother there will be some who will do this in my Ummah as well, verily the Israelites were divided into 72 sections but my people will be divided into 73 sections, all of them will be in the fire except one.” The companions asked, ‘Who are they O Messenger of Allah,’ Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “They are those who will be like me and my companions.”

    This is also present in Ibn Maja. Other than Tirmidhi, Ibne Maja gives three independent narrations of the same hadith. Talking about the authenticity of this hadith Abu Mansur Abd al-Kahir ibn-Tahir Al-Baghdadi [4] says:

    “There are many isnad (independent testimonies) for the tradition dealing with the division of the community. A number of following companions have handed it down as coming from the Prophet (peace be upon him): Anas ibn-Malik, Abu-Hurairah, Abu-l-Darda, Jabir, Abu-Sa’id al-Khidri, Ubai ibn-Ka’b, Abd-Allah ibn-Amr ibn-al-’As, abu-Imamah, Wathilah ibn-al-Aska’ and others. It is also handed down that the pious Caliphs mentioned that the community would be divided after them, that one sect only would save itself, and the rest of them would be given to error in this world, and to destruction in the next.”

    There are a lot of Islamic sects . I have tried to compile most of the popular sects of islam.

    There are a lot more and there were a lot existed in Islamic history. A complete list of sects that exists in history is compiled here: http://www.real-islam.org/73_8.htm

    Mohammed said clearly that there would be 73 sects and only one would be righteous and only one will go to paradise. Now problem is that every sect claims to be right. The common discussion and debates which muslim students use to do in their collages and university are about the sects and “real islam”.

    But no one can find that hind real islam and hidden 73th sect of Mohammed which is having no flaw and controversy . A simple and ridiculous answer that imam gives is that you should read quran and hadith and find the sect . but our whole life will be ruined if we start checking every sect of islam. And it is not possible. And a question arises that why did allah is pushing us in such a ordeal to find a true sect among 72 sects?

    People living in non kafir lands are actually unaware about the controversies and grave differences among the sects. About each and every above mentioned sect is saying other kafir. It is impossible to remove differences among the shia’s and sunnis. Koran and hadith is full of confusions. Today two friends of mine were debate with each other that whether mohammed was a man or a “noor” a light made from the light of allah.

    So the question I pose to you – Are you sure that you are in the right sect. If you are then good luck with the houris (your wife will be very envious) if not then I guess it’s hellfire with me – you have a 71 to 1 odds of landing in paradise.

    Good luck ismail. Don’t bother to waste this blog’s space by reponding with foul words and curses. Do some research from the Koran and the hadiths and make a positive difference in the world by educating us all.

    • First of all you mentioned a hanafi twice. And hanafi shafi’I hanbali Maliki salafi and Wahhabi all have the same beliefs. The only difference is in their legal systems. Also the way we find which sect is correct is shown in the Hadith, it’s the one which ALWAYS refers back to Quran and Hadith and the prophets companions. Also replying to your first comment. Belief in God and Muhammad (pbuh) isn’t the only thing to get you to paradise. You have to have a sound mind and heart free from arrogance. This is seen in the Hadith, where the messenger of God (pbuh) said, no one will enter paradise who has an atom’s weight worth of arrogance in his heart. And the messenger of God wasn’t a narcisst he truly loved people, as the Quran did say about him ‘are you going to curse yourself just because they won’t believe’ 18:6. Also there are many hadiths from the prophet showing that the first people to go to hell will be people who believed and did good. However they were arrogant and wanted people to praise them. Therefore God tells them you only wanted people to praise you an they did so the angels will be told to take them to hell. That’s why Islam requires humility and no one who is arrogant will ever enter paradise

    • Alex, when it comes to religion, Islam is the best of all and is the only religion recognise by God and has been the only religion followed by ALL the Prophets and Messengers Jesus inclusive. I don’t really know where you belong but shows to me that you are a kafir.

      You can say whatever you want to say is your choice but at the end of the day you will one day face your creator then you can tell Him all these rubbish you are writing online. The knowledge you have is fake that is why you think you know Islam when you don’t know nothing at all. I am not disputing with you about what you know or you you don’t know, because you want to stay in darkness by not following the religion of God.

      A gentle advise for you is to pick a Quran read it with an open mind if Allah will he will guide you to the righr path Insallah. Do not count yourself in hellfire is too severe for us; remember this is eternal, not like hundred years or thousand years. If we cannot survive the fire of this world, then we should try and the fire which 70 times hotter than it. Alex, Be a muslim come back to your Creator, come and follow the religion of Jesus, come to Islam to know Jesus better, to understand his message and its proper contex. May Allah guide you to the straigh

  19. sad to say alex you put forward all those accusations or character assasination of the prophet Muhammad SAW but in fact they are lies he killed not a single person himself with his own hands, as far as the tribe that committed treason taht was punished well that law is a universal law in the torah and even the united states. The answer to your accusatins or caracter assasination of the prophet Muhammad saw is in suratul qalam. if you possess a qur’aan. for one who seeks guidance, he or she in my case can transcend the various sects that are present by following yes the prophet, not a cult leader but a prophet sent by God speaking only words of God to the people, little that you will understand unless you believed in previous prophets which I doubt.
    my scholarly answer will probably not deter you from blasphamezing the prophet or his wife Aisha who became the greatest female scholar of any religion( no equivalent judaic or christain female scholars are present).
    and yes paradise is not for the lighthearted out of all the sects those who believe in God and His Messenger and treat people well and are sincere and not hypocrites are promised rewards of paradise of which is the knowledge of the unseen and we are only given a glimpse. It is enough for me to know that there will be no hatred, misery,anger or jealousy in paradise. I dont need any further details. I suppose you know of an atheist hell or paradise for people like me :)

  20. Dear muslim girl

    Anfal in Islam

    Hitler did not kill a soul but he led and convinced a whole nation to ethnically cleanse a group of human beings created by Allah. Does that make Hitler a good man who deserves paradise. I am sure you agree that Hitler was a good man and should go to paradise because he killed over a million of islam’s greatest enemy (the Jews). Now the Jews are ethnically cleansing muslims it is wrong. The Jews are in a position of power and they feel righteous about their atrocities towards the Palestinians. WAR from any side is wrong and sinful – period. Jihad is sinful – period. The killing of another human being is sinful – period. There is no doubt in any decent human being’s mind that killing is barbaric, savage and belongs to the dark ages. Do you believe in Jihad? Do you believe that killing is justified and that Allah approves of killing in certain situations. Are you an Islamofascist(believe that Islam is the BEST and other religions are inferior- similar belief that Hitler had). Did your illiterate maddressa teacher tell you that muslims are your brothers and sisters and non-believers are kuffars(unclean). Do you have deep psychological views/scars that other human beings (created by Allah) who are non-muslims as animals and deserve to traeted like animals. Well, I don’t blame you because we have a concept in Islam called Anfal.

    Anfal means spoils of war غنایم. For thousands of years, primitive tribes, raided and plundered each other. The more savage societies also looted the wives and children of the vanquished. Women were often raped and children were enslaved and sold.

    Arabs were a bunch of savages. Raiding and looting was for them a way of life. Four months during the year they abstained from fighting, when war was regarded a sacrilege. These were called sacred months, الْأَشْهُرُ الْحُرُمُ. You can find a mention of them in the Quran 9:5. Outside these months they were free to raid and loot one another. There was no central power to punish the aggressors.

    When the prophet of Islam migrated to Medina, his followers who migrated with him were mostly slaves and disaffected youths. They were destitute. Muhammad continued the tradition of Arabs and told them to steal for their sustenance. The morality of Arabs was so low that no one objected to a prophet of God engaging in thuggery. On the contrary, they attributed his successes to divine assistance.

    Primitive people think might is right. You can often find this kind of primitive thinking in children. In a society where everyone thinks like you, you get validation from others and your distorted thinking is confirmed. Our thoughts must be challenged in order to evolve. This is how evolution takes place. The weak dies and the fittest, survives. Where organisms are not challenged, they don’t evolve. There are species on earth that have not evolved for hundreds of millions of years. It is because they have never been challenged. There was no need for them to evolve. When an idea is not challenged, it will not evolve. This is the sad saga of Islam.

    When Muhammad raided the caravans and the villages of the Arabs, massacred unarmed populations and plundered their belonging, enslaved their women and children, not only his followers, but also other Arabs did not see this as something utterly evil. The more he succeeded in his raids or ghazwa as he called them, the more popular he became. His foes joined him because he was becoming powerful. Tabari says Khalid ibn Walid and Amro ibn Aas were enemies of Islam and fought against Muslims. They converted when they saw Muhammad is becoming victorious. Arabs saw that those who converted to Islam had been enriched. All their earning came from robbery. But it was a robbery sanctioned by God. In the Arab’s primitive way of thinking that was an indication that God was behind Muhammad.

    Muslims’ sense of morality has not evolved since the time of Muhammad. This primitive way of thinking of Arabs that believes might is right has spread to all Muslim countries, including to Iran and to Muslims of the Indian sub-continent who were much more evolved than the Arabs. Now we have become like them – a bunch of savages. Our sense of justice has evaporated and our thinking has become as primitive as those of Arabs who thanks to Islam have never come out of their savagery.

    The great Persian historian Mohammad ibn Jarir Tabari narrates Muhammad’s crimes in detail, describing his treacheries, robberies, rapes, assassinations and murders to the extent that the reader feels nauseated. Yet this highly learned man is unable to see that the founder of that much evil cannot be a prophet of God.

    One of the greatest geniuses that ever lived was Jalaleddin Rumi. Despite all his talent, he too is incapable of seeing the man he calls his prophet was a thug. He even believed in Muhammad’s nonsense that God transformed the Jews into pigs and monkeys when they broke the law of Sabbath.

    This is what religion does to people. Smart people abdicate their intelligence when they believe. And as Voltaire says, when people believe in absurdities they can commit atrocities.

    Any sane person can understand that raiding someone’s home, killing him and robbing his belonging is wrong. It does not require much intelligence to understand this much. Yet amazingly, 1.5 billion Muslims, among them many educated people, are unable to see this much.

    Muhammad has even a sura in the Quran describing how the stolen property should be divided. Sura Anfal was written after the battle of Badr. It starts by saying, يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنْ الْأَنْفَالِ قُلْ الْأَنْفَالُ لِلَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ “They ask you (O Muhammad) about the spoils of war. Say: The spoils of war belong to Allah and the messenger.” Here Muhammad makes the maker of the universe a partner in his crime when anyone with a brain the size of that of a cat knows that God has no use for the stolen belongings of a bunch of Arabs. All that spoil went to Muhammad. So why defile the name of God? The true translation of this verse is, the stollen property belongs to me and myself. Muhammad did not believe in God. He used him as a tool to fool people. If he really believed in God he would not have dared to attribute so many lies to him.

    An article titled, “Jihad: The Forgotten Obligation” that can be found with a Google search on several Islamic sites says: “Provision, Under the Shade of the Spear: Narrated Ibn Umar (ra) that the Prophet (saw) said, “My livelihood is under the shade of my spear, and he who disobeys my orders will be humiliated.” (Bukhari, p.408, vol.1) The virtue of the spear has been mentioned in this hadith and we have been informed that the livelihood and provision of the Prophet (saw) lies in the spear (jihaad). This is why the muhaditheen have stated that the best earning is that of war booty and it is clearly proven by this hadith that booty has been made permissible for this Ummah. Note: the term ”humiliation for the kuffar” in the hadith, means paying jizya (a small tax levied for the non-Muslim citizens – dhimmis – of the Islamic state). (Fath ul Bari, p.116, vol.2)”

    Do you see the utter lack of morality of Muslims? A hadith says Muhammad earned his livelihood through robbery. As the result Muslim scholars and muhaditheens (collectors of hadith) have concluded that booty is permissible and the best earning is the one that comes from robbery. Today, Muslims lament that the obligation of jihad has been forgotten and that they must earn their livelihood by plundering and forcing the non-Muslims to pay jizyah.

    This is how Mafia operates. In fact the Mafia owes its existence to Islam. Muslims conquered Sicily and Malta in 902 and ruled the Islands until 1061, when they were evicted following the Norman Conquest, the local gangsters moved in to fill their gap. Extorting money, in exchange for “protection,” is want Muslims practiced in south Italy. It is by understanding this connection that we can understand how the Mafia can reconcile their crime with their religiosity.

    The irony is that in Islam theft is prohibited and the punishment of the thief is chopping his hand for the first offence and then amputation of other limbs for subsequent offenses. But that is when the thief steals from a Muslim. When the victim is a non-Muslim there is no punishment. In fact such theft is regulated and encouraged.

    In the raid at Wadi al Qura, right after the raid of Kheibar, a stray arrow killed a slave of Muhammad. Muslims gathered around him and congratulated him for attaining the paradise. Muhammad said, “Certainly not! His cloak is even now burning on him in hell. He had stolen the cloak he is wearing from the spoil of the Muslims.” Another Muslim hearing this came forth and said “Apostle of Allah, I had no shoes and took this pair of sandal thongs from the man I killed.” Muhammad told him “Two thongs of fire will be cut for you like that.” He then explains that whatever is taken as spoil must be put in a pool and divided as Allah has ordained. One fifth belongs to Allah and his messenger ( me and myself) and the rest shall be divided among the raiders.

    Do you see the irony? These two Muslims will go to hell because they stole a cloak and a pair of sandals from the spoils, but the spoil itself is lawful and the best earning. The same sura Anfal Muhammad says, فَكُلُوا مِمَّا غَنِمْتُمْ حَلَلًا طَيِّبًا “Enjoy what you took in war, lawful and pure.”(Q. 8:69) This verse indicates that maybe some of the Muslims had a cognitive dissonance and their conscience was bothering them. Muhammad revealed this verse so they can placate their conscience. How can one argue with what God has decided? If God says killing and stealing from non-Muslims is lawful, who can question it?

    This is how Muslims put their conscience aside. Once a matter is decided by God, the believer will not bring his conscience into equation. He will ignore his conscience. God knows best and it is not up to humans to question the wisdom of God. Fortunately, most religions don’t have too many evil teachings in regards to non-believers. But Islam has plenty of them and consequently Muslims are reduced into thugs and criminals. They are the most immoral and the most treacherous people in the world. When it comes to doing evil, no one can match a Muslim. No one can do as much evil as a Muslim without any pang of conscience. All people do evil, but often they are troubled by it and ask their god for forgiveness. Muslims do evil and stand in prayer thanking their god for enabling them to do it. They expect to be rewarded for it. The Basiji thugs in Iran who raped young girls before killing them were convinced that they will be rewarded by God for their despicable crimes. Islam reduces humans into monsters.

    Islam is the religion of thieves. Not just thieves, but also pedophiles, rapists, assassins, murderers and tyrants can find justification for their evilness in Islam. The only prohibition is that you cannot steal from your gang. Any gangster organization has the same rule. If you are a member of Mafia and steal from your godfather you will be dealt more severely than and any law prescribes. This does not mean that criminals are against stealing. They do it for living. But if you are a member of a criminal organization you must not steal from the gang.

    Even though Muhammad prohibited Muslims stealing from the spoils before he got his lion’s share, he openly stole from his followers. Right after Kheibar was conquered Muhammad set his eyes on Fadak, which was the most fertile land of Arabia. The population of Fadak, assessing their prospect decided to surrender. They sent a delegation to Muhammad while he was still in Kheibar telling him that they will abandon their town in exchange for their lives. Muhammad agreed. He then offered them to stay as serf and give 50% of what they produce to him. He declared that Fadak is his personal property because Muslims did not fight there. The reason these Jews surrendered with no fight was obviously because of Muhammad’s army. Without that army, would they have surrendered to one man? He took 20% of every plunder, without ever fighting personally or putting his own life in danger. But he kept the wealth of Fadak and Bani Nadir all to himself, because the populations of these towns surrendered without a fight. It is not that his followers were as dumb as not to notice, but they were afraid to question him. He did as he pleased and no one dared to argue with him, because arguing with him was as arguing with God. That is what prevents Muslims from questioning Islam today.

    Every muslim must learn about Fadak. This little town has played a crucial role in the destiny of Iran. After the death of Muhammad, Fatima, his only surviving daughter, claimed that Fadak should be her inheritance because it was the private property of her father. Abu Bakr, who had become the caliph elected by everyone including Ali, Fatima’s husband, said that the Prophet did not have private properties and whatever he owned should go to baitul mal (public treasury). Muhammad also had several wives, including Aisha and Hafsa, daughters of Abu Bakr and Omar, who should have been included as inheritors, in case the property were to be given to his relatives. Hence, even if Fadak were Muhammad’s private estate, the claim of Fatima was unfounded. That is where the fight between Ali and other caliphs began – over a stolen property. This is the origin of the Sunni-Shiite divide. And the fighting still continues to this day.

  29. hello there and thanks to your information ? I’ve certainly picked up something new from right here. I did however experience some technical points using this web site, since I skilled to reload the website a lot of times prior to I may get it to load properly. I have been pondering in case your web host is OK? Now not that I am complaining, but slow loading cases times will often affect your placement in google and could harm your quality rating if ads and marketing with Adwords. Anyway I am including this RSS to my e-mail and can glance out for a lot extra of your respective fascinating content. Ensure that you replace this once more very soon..

  30. Thank u for this valuable information. I would request the writer to provide such type of information pertinent to the description of hell fire, so that those who are not believing should know that there is extreme punishment for the sinful and non-believers.Mr. Helix has put false allegations on the Holy Prophet (pbuh). Alas he should read the Holy Quran and its tafseer with open mind and heart and should judiciously use his knowledge on the unbiased perception. I presume that he has a lot of knowledge about Islam but Satan is guiding him, that is why he is not coming to the right path. I would urge him to come to the religion of Allah, so that in the hereafter we would dwell together.
