Fighting

Bukhari:V4B52N50 “The Prophet said, ‘A single endeavor of fighting in Allah’s Cause is better than the world and whatever is in it.’”

Ishaq:587 “Ka’b Malik reacted to the Apostle’s decision. He said, ‘We put an end to doubt at Khaybar. But we gave our swords a rest. If our swords could have spoken, their blades would have said, “We will make homes desolate. Our cavalry will come upon you leaving behind a tangled mass. When we assault a town they sound a cry of alarm but our sharp cutting swords flash like lightning. By them we bring death to those who struggle against us. Flowing blood was mingled with saffron the morn we met. They were taken by surprise and we surrounded them with our troops.””

Ishaq:587 “Our onslaught will not be a weak faltering affair. We shall fight as long as we live. We will fight until you turn to Islam, humbly seeking refuge. We will fight not caring whom we meet. We will fight whether we destroy ancient holdings or newly gotten gains. We have cut off every opponent’s nose and ears with our fine swords. We have driven them violently before us at the command of Allah and Islam. We will fight until our religion is established. We will plunder them, for they must suffer disgrace.”

Quran 009.088 “But, al-Rasul | the Messenger and those who aman | believe with him, jahad | strive hard and fight with their wealth and lives. And those, for them, (are) the good things. And those, they (are) the successful ones.”

Quran 009.005 “Then when having flayed and stripped away the sacred forbidden months, then kill, slaughtering and 562murdering, those who associate and share with friends wherever and whenever you find them, seize them and take them captive, besieging, restricting, imprisoning, and beleaguer them, and lie in wait, prepared to ambush and trap them. If that then they return and adapt, rising up and standing erect to perform and establish the obligatory prostration prayer, and bringing the increased zakat tax for purification, then vacate the premises, leaving the area unoccupied, while relinquishing all claims to their ways, lo, al-Laha will protect by covering hover and hiding to favor and benefit.”

Quran 009.111 “Lo! Verily, al-Laha (has) purchased from the believers their lives and their wealth because for them, Paradise. They qatilun | fight in the Cause of al-Lahi. They slay and are slain, kill and are killed.”

Quran 008.039 “Fight them until all opposition ends and all religion is for Allah alone.”

Ishaq:324 “Fight them so that there is no more rebellion, and religion, all of it, is for Allah only. Allah must have no rivals.”

Quran 009.014 “Fight them and al-Lahu will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them. And the breasts of the people who are believers will be healed.”

Ishaq:300 “I am fighting in Allah’s service. This is piety and a good deed. In Allah’s war I do not fear as others should. For this fighting is righteous, true, and good.”

Quran 009.029 “Fight those who do not believe in il-Lahi, nor in the Last Day, nor make unlawful that which has been forbidden by al-Lahu and His Rasuli, nor acknowledge not the religion of truth among those who were given the Book, until they pay the Jizyah | debilitating Tax in submission while being subdued.”

Ishaq:325 “Muslims, fight in Allah’s Cause. Stand firm and you will prosper. Help the Prophet, obey him, give him your allegiance, and your religion will be victorious.”

Quran 008.065 “O Prophet! Inspire and motivate, urging the believers to al-qital | the fight (conquering fear of death). If (there) are twenty steadfast amongst you, they will (or might) overcome two hundred, and if (there) are a hundred they will (or might) overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they (the disbelievers are) people without intelligence.”

563Bukhari:V4B52N63 “A man whose face was covered with an iron mask came to the Prophet and said, ‘Allah’s Apostle! Shall I fight or embrace Islam first?’ The Prophet said, ‘Embrace Islam first and then fight.’ So he embraced Islam, and was martyred. Allah’s Apostle said, ‘A Little work, but a great reward.’”

Bukhari:V4B53N386 “Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah alone or pay us the Jizyah tribute tax in submission. Our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says: ‘Whoever amongst us is killed as a martyr shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever survives shall become your master.’”

Quran 002.193 “And fight them until there is no more fitnah | temptation, trials, and sedition toward disbelief and religion is only for il-Lahi. Then if they cease and desist, then no hostility except against al-zalim | cruel lords and oppressive tyrants.”

Quran 002.0217 “They question you about qital | fighting in al-haram | the sacred and forbidden month. Say, ‘Fighting therein a akbar | greater [omitted]. But hindering to prevent access to the Cause of al-Lahi, and disbelief in Him and al-Masjidi al-Haram and driving out its people from it, akbar | greater [omitted] near al-Lahi. And al-fitnah | trials and wrong belief akbar | greater [omitted] than al-qatli | the slaughter. And not they will cease to fight with you until they turn you away from your dini | religion if they are able. And whoever turns back from among you from his religion and dies while he a disbeliever for those became worthless their deeds in the world and the hereafter. And those companions of the hell-fire.”

Quran 002.244 “And qatil | fight in al-Lahi’s Cause.”

Quran 009.039 If not you march forth, He will chastise, castigate, torment, torture, and punish you, severely and painfully, and will replace you, exchanging and substituting you for a people other than you and not you can harm Him anything. Al-Lahu on every thing powerful.”

564Quran 009.123 “O you who believe, fight and kill those close to you of the disbelievers, and make them realize that you are harsh and unrelenting And realize that al-Laha with those who fear.”

Muslim:C9B1N31 “The Messenger said: ‘I have been commanded to fight against people until they testify that there is no god but Allah, and they believe in me (that) I am the Messenger and in all that I have brought [the Sunnah/Hadith]. And when they do it, their blood and riches are protected.’”

Bukhari:V9B84N59 “Abu Bakr said, ‘By Allah! I will fight whoever differentiates between prayers and the zakat tax, as the zakat is rightfully taken from property according to Allah’s Orders. If they refused to pay me even so little as a kid they used to pay to Allah’s Apostle, I will fight with them for withholding it.’”

Quran 008.073 “Those who disbelieve (are) allies (to) one another. So, if you do not do this (victorious Allah’s Religion of Islam), will be fitnah | trials and temptations (turmoil and confusion) on Earth, and great fasadun | mischief and corruption. Those who accepted Islam, left their homes to fight in Allah’s Cause (al-Jihad), as well as those who give them asylum, shelter, and aid. These are (all) Believers: for them is pardon and bountiful provision.”

Tabari IX:69 “Arabs were the first to respond to the call of the Prophet. We are Allah’s helpers and the viziers of His Messenger. We fight people until they believe in Allah. He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for one who disbelieves, we will fight him forever in the Cause of Allah. Killing him is a small matter to us.”

Quran 048.016 “Say to those who lagged behind of the al-A’rabi, ‘You will be called to possessors of great military might. You will fight them or they will submit in Islam. Then if you obey, al-Lahu will give you a good reward, but if you turn away as you did before, He will punish you with a painful punishment.”

Quran 047.004 “So, when you meet, clashing with the unbelieving infidels (in battle fighting Jihad in Allah’s Cause), strike their necks until when you have overpowered and subdued them (killing and wounding many of them), then severely bind them with shackles and fetters. Then whatever is deemed fit thereafter, even if ransom (them based upon what benefits Islam) until the war and plunder lay down their burdens. That, and if al-Lahu wanted, lo he 565could have helped but (wanted) to test some of you with others. Those killed in al-Lahi’s Cause, never will be lost their deeds.”

Quran 047.031 “And, lo, We will test you until We make evident al-Mujahidin | the Jihadist Fighters among you – the steadfast ones. And We will try and test your affairs.”

Tabari VI:138 “Those present at the oath of Aqabah had sworn an allegiance to Muhammad. It was a pledge of war against all men. Allah had permitted fighting.”

Tabari VI:139 “After Allah had given his Messenger permission to fight by revealing the verse ‘And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is all for Allah,’ (Quran 008.039) the Messenger of Allah commanded those at Mecca to emigrate to Yathrib and join their brethren, the Ansar.”

Quran 009.019 “Do you consider the providing of drinking water to the pilgrims and the maintenance of Al-Masjid-al-Haram as equal to the worth of those who believe in Illahi and the Last Day, and jahad | strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah? They are not equal before al-Lahi.”

Ishaq:550 “The Muslims met them with their swords. They cut through many arms and skulls. Only confused cries and groans could be heard over our roars and snarling.”

Quran 005.094 “Believers, Allah will make a test for you in the form of a little game in which you reach out your hands for your lances that He may know who fears. Any who fails this test will have a grievous penalty, a painful punishment.”

Ishaq:578 “Crushing the heads of the infidels and splitting their skulls with sharp swords, we continually thrust and cut at the enemy. Blood gushed from their deep wounds as the battle wore them down. We conquered bearing the Prophet’s fluttering war banner. Our cavalry was submerged in rising dust, and our spears quivered, but by us the Prophet gained victory.”

Tabari IX:22 “The Prophet continued to besiege the town, fighting them bitterly.”

Tabari IX:25 “By Allah, I did not come to fight for nothing. I wanted a victory over Ta’if so that I might obtain a slave girl from them and make her pregnant.”

566Tabari IX:82 “The Messenger sent Khalid out to collect taxes with an army of 400 and ordered him to invite people to Islam before he fought them. If they were to submit, he was to teach them the Book of Allah, the Sunnah of His Prophet, and the requirements of Islam. If they should decline, then he was to fight them.”

Tabari IX:88 “Abdallah Azdi came to the Messenger, embraced Islam, and became a good Muslim. Allah’s Apostle invested Azdi with authority over those who had surrendered and ordered him to fight infidels from the tribes of Yemen. He left with an army by the Messenger’s command. The Muslims besieged them for a month, then withdrew, setting a trap. When the Yemenites went in pursuit, Azdi inflicted a heavy loss on them.”

Ishaq:530 “Get out of his way you infidel unbelievers. Every good thing goes with His Apostle. O Lord I believe in his word. We will fight you about its interpretations as we have fought you about its revelation with strokes that will remove heads from shoulders. And we will make enemies of friends.”

Muslim:C34B20N4668 “The Messenger said: ‘Anybody who equips a warrior going to fight in the Way of Allah is like one who actually fights.”

Muslim:C9B1N29 “When the Messenger breathed his last and Bakr was appointed Caliph, many Arabs chose to become apostates. Umar said: ‘Why would you fight against these people?’ Bakr replied: ‘I would definitely fight against anyone who stopped paying the Zakat, for it is an obligation. I would fight against them even to secure the cord used for hobbling the feet of a camel which they used to pay if they withheld it now.’ Umar remarked: ‘Allah had opened the heart of Bakr for understanding the justification of fighting against those who refused to pay Zakat.’”

Muslim:C9B1N33 “The Prophet said: ‘I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and they establish prostration prayer, and pay Zakat. If they do it, their blood and property are protected.’”

Muslim:C10B1N176 “Muhammad sent us in a raiding party. We raided Huraqat in the morning. I caught hold of a man and he said: ‘There is no god but Allah,’ but I attacked him with a spear anyway. It once occurred to me that I should ask the Apostle about 567this. The Messenger said: ‘Did he profess “There is no god but Allah,” and even then you killed him?’ I said: ‘He made a profession out of the fear of the weapon I was threatening him with.’ The Prophet observed: ‘Did you tear out his heart in order to find out whether it had professed truly or not?’ ‘By Allah, I would never kill any Muslim so long as a person with a heavy belly would not kill.’ Upon this a person remarked: ‘Did Allah not say: “And fight them until there is no more mischief and religion is wholly for Allah?”’”

Muslim:C20B1N4597 “The Prophet said at the conquest of Mecca: ‘There is no migration now, but only Jihad, fighting for the Cause of Islam. When you are asked to set out on a Jihad expedition, you should readily do so.’”

Muslim:C28B20N4628 “Allah has undertaken to provide for one who leaves his home to fight; Allah will either admit him to Paradise or will bring him back home with his reward and booty.”

Muslim:C28B20N4629 “The Messenger said: ‘One who is wounded in the Way of Allah will appear on the Day of Judgment with his wound still bleeding. The color (of discharge) will be blood, (but) its smell will be musk.’”

Muslim:C34B20N4652-3 “The Merit of Jihad and of Keeping Vigilance over the Enemy: A man came to the Holy Prophet and said: ‘Who is the best of men?’ He replied: ‘A man who fights staking his life and spending his wealth in Allah’s Cause.’”

Muslim:C42B20N4684 “A desert Arab came to the Prophet and said: ‘Messenger, one man fights for the spoils of war; another fights that he may be remembered, and one fights that he may see his (high) position (achieved as a result of his valor in fighting). Which of these is fighting in the Cause of Allah?’ The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Who fights so that the word of Allah is exalted is fighting in the Way of Allah.’”

Muslim:C53B20N4717 “The Prophet said: ‘This religion will continue to exist, and a group of people from the Muslims will continue to fight for its protection until the Hour is established.’”

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 568and behind you.’ I saw the face of the Prophet getting bright with happiness, for that saying delighted him.”

Bukhari:V5B59N290 “The believers who did not join the Ghazwa and those who fought are not equal in reward.”

Ishaq:280 “Then the Apostle prepared for war in pursuance of Allah’s command to fight his enemies and to fight the infidels who Allah commanded him to fight.”

Quran 061.002 “O who believe, why you say what not you do? Grievously odious and hateful is it in the sight of Allah that you say that which you do not. Truly Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in a battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure.”

Bukhari:V4B52N61 “My uncle Anas said, ‘Allah’s Apostle! We were absent from the first battle you fought against the pagans. If Allah gives us a chance to do battle, no doubt, He will see how bravely we fight.’”

Ishaq:398 “Show them that you listen to them and ask them for their help. Thereby make the religion of Islam agreeable to them. And when you are resolved in the matter of religion concerning fighting your enemy you will have the advantage.”

Quran 003.146 “How many of the prophets fought in Allah’s Cause? With them myriads of godly men who were slain. They never lost heart if they met with disaster in Allah’s way, nor did they weaken nor give in. Allah loves those who are firm and steadfast.”

Ishaq:393 “Allah loves the steadfast. How many a prophet has death in battle befallen and how many multitudes with him? They showed no weakness toward their enemies and were not humiliated when they suffered in the fight for Allah and their religion.”

Quran 003.153 “Behold! You ran off precipitately, climbing up the high hill without even casting a side glance at anyone, while the Messenger in your rear is calling you from your rear, urging you to fight. Allah gave you one distress after another by way of requital, to teach you not to grieve for the booty that had escaped you and for (the ill) that had befallen you.”

Ishaq:440 “Helped by the Holy Spirit we smited Muhammad’s foes. He is a true Messenger from the Compassionate, an Apostle 569reciting Allah’s Book. He became honored in rank and station. So the Apostle sent a message to them with a sharp cutting sword.”

Ishaq:470 “We attacked them fully armed, sharp swords in hand, cutting through heads and skulls.”

Quran 061.004 “Surely Allah loves those who fight in His Cause.”

Quran 061.011 “Come to believe in Allah and His Apostle and struggle in the Cause of Allah with your wealth and person. This will be good for you…. Allah will give you an early victory.”

Quran 004.074 “Let those who fight in Allah’s Cause sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fights in the Cause of Allah, whether he is slain or gets victory we give him a reward.”

Quran 004.075 “What reason have you that you should not fight in Allah’s Cause? What is wrong with you that you do not fight for Allah?”

Quran 004.076 “Those who believe fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the cause of idols: So fight the allies of Satan: feeble indeed is the plot of Satan.”

Quran 004.077 “Have you not seen those to whom it was said: Withhold your hands from fighting, perform the prayer and pay the zakat. But when orders for fighting were issued, a party of them feared men as they ought to have feared Allah. They say: ‘Our Lord, why have You ordained fighting for us, why have You made war compulsory?’”

Quran 004.084 “Then fight in Allah’s Cause. You are only responsible for yourself. Incite the believers to fight along with you.”

Quran 004.094 “Believers, when you go abroad to fight wars in the Cause of Allah, investigate carefully, and say not to anyone who greets you: ‘You are not a believer!’ Coveting the chance profits of this life (so that you may despoil him). With Allah are plenteous spoils and booty.”

Quran 004.095 “Not equal are believers who sit home and receive no hurt and those who fight in Allah’s Cause with their wealth and lives. Allah has granted a grade higher to those who fight with their possessions and bodies to those who sit home. Those who fight He has distinguished with a special reward.”

570Quran 004.101 “And when you travel in the land, there is no sin on you if you shorten al-Salat | the Prayer if you fear that the disbelievers may attack you. Lo, verily, the disbelievers are ever unto you open enemies.”

Quran 004.104 “And do not relent in pursuing the enemy. If you are suffering hardships, they are suffering similar hardships; but you have hope from Allah, while they have none.”

Terrorism

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

Quran 008.057 “So when you fight them and if you gain control and dominance over them in al-harb | the battle and war, strike fear in them, and punish them severely in order to make an example of them. Frighten them off and disperse who (are) behind and support them, so that they may learn a lesson and be deterred.”

Ishaq:326 “If you come upon them, deal with them so forcibly as to terrify those who would follow them that they may be warned. Make a severe example of them by terrorizing Allah’s enemies.”

Quran 008.067 “Is not for a Prophet that should be for him captives until yuth’kh | he has made a great slaughter in the land.

Ishaq:588 “When the Apostle descends on your land none of your people will be left when he leaves.”

Tabari IX:42 “We have been dealt a situation from which there is no escape. You have seen what Muhammad has done. Arabs have submitted to him and we do not have the strength to fight. You 571know that no herd is safe from him. And no one even dares go outside for fear of being terrorized.”

Ishaq:326 “Allah said, ‘No Prophet before Muhammad took booty from his enemy nor prisoners for ransom.’ Muhammad said, ‘I was made victorious with terror. The earth was made a place for me to clean. I was given the most powerful words. Booty was made lawful for me. I was given the power to intercede. These five privileges were awarded to no prophet before me.’”

Ishaq:327 “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”

Quran 007.004 “How many cities and towns have We destroyed when Our terror and torment came upon them suddenly by night or while they slept for their afternoon rest?

Ishaq:510 “When the Apostle looked down on Khaybar he told his Companions, ‘O Allah, Lord of the heavens and what they overshadow, and Lord of the Devils and what into error they throw, and Lord of the winds and what they winnow, we ask Thee for the booty of this town and its people. We take refuge in Thee from its evil and the evil of its people. Forward in the name of Allah.’ He used to say this of every town he raided.”

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

Bukhari:V9B87N127 “The Prophet said, ‘I have been given the keys of eloquent speech and given victory with terror so the treasures of the earth were given to me.’”

Ishaq:517 “Khaybar was stormed by the Apostle’s squadron, fully armed, powerful, and strong. It brought certain humiliation with Muslim men in its midst. We attacked and they met their doom. Muhammad conquered the Jews in fighting that day as they opened their eyes to our dust.”

572Tabari VIII:116 & Ishaq:511 “So Muhammad began seizing their herds and their property bit by bit. He conquered Khaybar home by home. The Messenger took some of its people captive, including Safiyah bt. Huyayy, the wife of Kinanah and her two cousins. The Prophet chose Safiyah for himself.”

Tabari VIII:129 “After the Messenger had finished with the Khaybar Jews, Allah cast terror into the hearts of the Jews in Fadak when they received news of what Allah had brought upon Khaybar. So they sent to Muhammad to make peace with him for a half share of Fadak’s produce. Fadak became his exclusive property.”

Quran 033.026 “And He brought down those who backed them among the People of the Scripture Book from their strongholds, and cast ru’ba | terror into their hearts, so that a group (of them) you killed, and a group (of them) you enslaved as captives.

Quran 033.027 And He caused you to inherit their land and their houses and their wealth, and land you had not trodden. Al-Lahu is on every thing All-Powerful.”

Quran 059.002 “He, the one, who expelled, driving out the disbeliever from the People of the Book (Jews of the tribe of Bani An-Nadir) from their homes at the first gathering. You did not think that they would leave. And they thought that they, their fortresses, would defend them against al-Lahi! But came to them from al-Lahu from where they expected it not. And He cast al-ru’ba | the terror into their hearts. They destroyed their houses with their hands and the hands of the believers. Then take warning.”

Quran 033.060 “Truly, if the Hypocrites, those in whose hearts is a disease, those who stir up sedition, the agitators in the City, do not desist, We shall urge you to go against them and set you over them. Then they will not be able to stay as your neighbor for any length of time. They shall have a curse on them. Whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain without mercy, a fierce slaughter, murdered, a horrible murdering. (Such was) the practice (approved) of Allah among those who lived before. No change wilt thou find in the practice of Allah.”

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.’”

573Ishaq:576 “Allah and His servant overwhelmed every coward. Allah honored us and made our religion victorious. We were glorified in the worship of the God who destroyed them all. He humiliated them in the worship of Satan. By what our Apostle recites from the Book and by our swift horses, I liked the punishment the infidels received. Killing them was sweeter than drink. We galloped among them panting for the spoil. With our loud-voiced army, the Apostle’s squadron advanced into the fray.”

Ishaq:580 “Our strong warriors obey his orders to the letter. By us Allah’s religion is undeniably strong. You would think when our horses gallop with bits in their mouths that the sounds of demons are among them. The day we trod down the unbelievers there was no deviation or turning from the Apostle’s order. During the battle the people heard our exhortations to fight and the smashing of skulls by swords that sent heads flying. We severed necks with a warrior’s blow. Often, we have left the slain cut to pieces and a widow crying over her mutilated husband. ’Tis Allah, not man we seek to please.”

Tabari IX:69 He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for one who disbelieves, we will fight him forever in the Cause of Allah. Killing him is a small matter to us.”

Bukhari:V5B59N516 “When Allah’s Apostle fought or raided people we raised our voices saying, ‘Allahu-Akbar! Allahu-Akbar! None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.’”

Ishaq:281 “The Raid on Waddan was the first Maghazi. The Expedition of Ubayda Harith was second. The Apostle sent Ubayda out on a raid with sixty or eighty riders from the Emigrants. He encountered a large number of Quraysh in the Hijaz. Abu Bakr composed a poem about the raid. ‘When we called them to the truth they turned their backs and howled like bitches. Allah’s punishment on them will not tarry. I swear by the Lord of Camels that I am no perjurer. A valiant band will descend upon the Quraysh which will leave women husbandless. It will leave men dead, with vultures wheeling round. It will not spare the infidels.’”

Bukhari:V5B59N569 “I fought in seven Ghazwat battles along with the Prophet and fought in nine Maghazi raids in armies dispatched by the Prophet.”

574Bukhari:V5B59N401 “Allah’s Wrath became severe on anyone the Prophet killed in Allah’s Cause.”

Bukhari:V5B59N456 “Muhammad led the Fear Prayer with one batch of his army while the other (batch) faced the enemy.”

Bukhari:V5B59N440 “Allah’s Apostle used to say, ‘None has the right to be worshipped except Allah Alone because He honored His Warriors and made His Messenger victorious. He (Alone) defeated the Infidel clans; so there is nothing left.’”

Tabari VII:19 “They hesitated and were afraid to advance on them, but then they plucked up courage and agreed to kill as many as they could and to seize what they had with them. Waqid ibn Abd Allah shot an arrow at Amr and killed him. Uthman ibn Abd Allah and al-Hakam surrendered, but Nawfal ibn Abd Allah escaped and eluded them. Then Abd Allah and his companions took the caravan and the captives back to Allah’s Apostle in Medina.”

Tabari VII:20 & Ishaq:288 “The Quraysh said, ‘Muhammad and his companions have violated the sacred month, shed blood, seized property, and taken men captive.’ The polytheists spread lying slander concerning him, saying, ‘Muhammad claims that he is following obedience to Allah, yet he is the first to violate the holy month and kill our companion in Rajab.’”

Tabari VII:29 & Ishaq:289 “The Apostle heard that Abu Sufyan was coming from Syria with a large Quraysh caravan containing their money and merchandise. He was accompanied by only thirty men. This was after fighting had broken out between them, and people had been killed and taken captive at Nakhlah.”

Ishaq:289 “Muhammad summoned the Muslims and said, ‘This is the Quraysh caravan containing their property. Go out and attack it. Perhaps Allah will give it to us as prey.”

Tabari VII:29 “When Allah’s Apostle heard about them he called his companions together and told them of the wealth they had with them and the fewness of their numbers. The Muslims set out with no other object than Sufyan and the men with him. They did not think that this raid would be anything other than easy booty.”

Bukhari:V5B59N702 “Allah did not admonish those who had not participated in the Ghazwa of Badr, for in fact, Allah’s Apostle had only gone out in search of the Quraysh caravan to rob it. But 575Allah arranged for the Muslims and their enemy to meet by surprise. I was at the Aqabah 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.’”

Tabari VII:29 “They did not suppose that there would be a great battle. Concerning this Allah revealed a Quran: Quran 008.007 “And when al-Lahu promised you one of the two groups for you, you wanted the other, (the) unarmed one. But the one which was armed would be for you because al-Lahu intended to justify the truth by His word and cut off the roots of disbelievers.”

Ishaq:290 “Some Meccans got up to circumambulate the Ka’aba… Sitting around the mosque, they wondered why they had allowed this evil rascal to attack their men.”

Ishaq:294 “The Apostle was afraid the Ansar would not feel obliged to help him fight without the enemy being the aggressor and attacking in Medina. Sa’d said, ‘We hear and obey. We are experienced in war, trustworthy in combat. Allah will let us show you something that will bring you joy. The Apostle was delighted at Sa’d’s words which greatly encouraged him. Muhammad shouted, ‘It is as if I see the enemy lying prostrate.’”

Bukhari:V5B59N330 & Ishaq:300 “Here is Gabriel holding the rein of a horse and leading the charge, equipped with his weapons and ready for the battle. There is dust upon his front teeth.”

Bukhari:V5B59N327 “Gabriel came to the Prophet and said, ‘How do you view the warriors of Badr?’ The Prophet said, ‘I see the fighters as the best Muslims.’ On that, Gabriel said, ‘And so are the Angels who are participating in the Badr battle.’”

Tabari VII:55 “Allah’s Messenger went out to his men and incited them to fight. He promised, ‘Every man may keep all the booty he takes.’ Then Muhammad said, ‘By Allah, if any man fights today and is killed fighting aggressively, going forward and not retreating, Allah will cause him to enter Paradise.’ Umayr, who was holding some dates in his hand and eating them, said, ‘Fine, fine. This is excellent! Nothing stands between me and my entering Paradise except to be killed by these people!’ He threw down the dates, seized his sword, and fought until he was slain.”

576Tabari VII:56 “‘O Messenger of Allah, what makes the Lord laugh with joy at his servant?’ He replied, ‘When he plunges his hand into the midst of an enemy without armor.’ So Auf took off the coat of mail he was wearing and threw it away. Then he took his sword and fought the enemy until he was killed.”

Ishaq:301 & Tabari VII:56 “As the Muslims were laying their hands on as many prisoners as they could catch, the Prophet, I have been told, saw disapproval in the face of Sa’d. He said, ‘Why are you upset by the taking of captives?’ Sa’d replied, ‘This was the first defeat inflicted by Allah on the infidels. Slaughtering the prisoners would have been more pleasing to me than sparing them.’”

Bukhari:V5B59N290 “The Prophet said, ‘Believers who did not join the Ghazwa and those who fought are not equal in reward.’”

Bukhari:V5B59N333 “Az-Zubair said, ‘I attacked him with my spear and pierced his eye. I put my foot over his body to pull the weapon out, but even then I had to use great force. Later on Allah’s Apostle asked me for that spear and I gave it to him.’”

Tabari VII:59 & Ishaq:303 “On the day of Badr I passed Umayyah as he was standing with his son Ali, holding his hand. I had with me some coats of mail which I had taken as plunder. Umayyah said, ‘Abd al-Ilah, would you like to take me as a prisoner? I will be more valuable to you as a captive to be ransomed than the coats of mail that you are carrying.’ I said, ‘Yes. Come here then.’ I flung away the armor and bound Umayyah and his son Ali, taking them with me. People encircled us. Then they restrained us physically. One of the Muslims drew his sword and struck Ali in the leg, severing it so that he fell down. Umayyah gave a scream the like of which I have never heard. I said, ‘Save yourself, for there is no escape for your son. By Allah, I cannot save him from these men.’ Then the Muslims hacked Ali to pieces.”

Bukhari:V5B59N297 “The Prophet faced the Ka’aba and invoked evil on the Quraysh people specifically cursing: Shaiba, Utba, Walid and Abu Jahl. I bear witness, by Allah, that I saw them all dead, putrefied by the sun, as Badr was a very hot day.”

Bukhari:V5B59N397 “Allah’s Apostle raised his head after bowing the first Rak’a of the morning prayer. He said, ‘O Allah! Curse so-and-so and so-and-so.’ After he had invoked evil upon the Quraysh, Allah revealed: ‘Your Lord will send thousands of angels 577riding upon chargers sweeping down as a form of good tidings to reassure you that victory comes from Him. He will cut off parts of the unbelievers, overthrow them, and turn them back in frustration. For Allah is forgiving and kind.’” (Quran 003.124)

Ishaq:303 “A cousin and I mounted a hill from which we could overlook Badr and see who would be defeated, so that we could join in the plundering afterwards. I was pursuing one of the Meccan polytheists in order to smite him, when his head suddenly fell off before my sword touched him. Then I knew that someone other than I had killed him.”

Ishaq:304 & Tabari VII:62 “I cut off Abu Jahl’s head and brought it to the Messenger. I said, ‘O Allah’s Prophet, this is the head of the enemy of Allah.’”

Ishaq:305 “Ukkasha fought until he broke his sword. He came to the Apostle who gave him a wooden cudgel telling him to fight with that. He brandished it and it became a brilliant weapon. Allah gave him victory while he wielded it. He took that weapon with him to every raid he fought with Allah’s Apostle until he was killed in the rebellion. These were his dying words: ‘What do you think about when you kill people? Are these not men just because they are not Muslims?’”

Ishaq:315 “It was so criminal, men could hardly imagine it. Muhammad was ennobled because of the bloody fighting. I swear we shall never lack soldiers, nor army leaders. Driving before us infidels until we subdue them with a halter above their noses and a branding iron. We will drive them to the ends of the earth. We will pursue them on horse and foot. We will never deviate from fighting in our cause. We will bring upon the infidels the fate of the Ad and Jurhum. Any people that disobey Muhammad will pay for it. If you do not surrender to Islam, then you will live to regret it. You will be shamed in Hell, forced to wear a garment of molten pitch forever!”

Ishaq:310 “A Meccan said, ‘As soon as we were confronted by the raiding party, we turned our backs and they started killing and capturing us at their pleasure. Some of our men turned tail humiliated. Allah smote some with pustules from which we died.’”

Ishaq:311 “When the Quraysh began to bewail their dead, consumed in sorrow, one said, ‘Do not do this for Muhammad and his companions will rejoice over our misfortune.’”

578Ishaq:340 “Surely Badr was one of the world’s great wonders. The roads to death are plain to see. Disobedience causes a people to perish. They became death’s pawns. We had sought their caravan, nothing else. But they came to us and there was no way out. So we thrust our shafts and swung our swords severing their heads. Our swords glittered as they killed. The banner of error was held by Satan. He betrayed the evil ones, those prone to treachery. He led them to death crying, ‘Fear Allah. He is invincible!’ Satan knew what they could not see. On that day a thousand spirits were mustered on excited white stallions. Allah’s army fought with us. Under our banner, Gabriel attacked and killed them.”

Ishaq:341 “Have you seen how Allah favored His Apostle and how He humiliated the unbelievers? They were put to shame in captivity and death. The Apostle’s victory was glorious. Its message is plain for all to see. The Lord brought repeated calamities upon the pagans, bringing them under the Apostle’s power. Allah’s angry army smote them with their trusty swords. Many a lusty youngster left the enemy lying prone. Their women wept with burning throats for the dead were lying everywhere. But now they are all in Hell.”

Ishaq:342 “I wonder at foolish men like these who sing frivolously and vainly of the slain at Badr. This was nothing more than an impious and odious crime. Men fought against their brothers, fathers, and sons. Any with discernment and understanding recognize the wrong that was done here.”

Ishaq:344 “I wonder at Allah’s deed. None can defeat Him. Evil ever leads to death. We unsheathed our swords and testified to the unity of Allah, and we proved that His Apostle brought truth. We smote them and they scattered. The impious met death. They became fuel for Hell. All who aren’t Muslims must go there. It will consume them while the Stoker increases the heat. They had called Allah’s Apostle a liar. They claimed, ‘You are nothing but a sorcerer.’ So, Allah destroyed them.”

Ishaq:348 “They retreated in all directions. They rejected the Quran and called Muhammad a liar. But Allah cursed them to make his religion and Apostle victorious. They lay still in death. Their throats were severed. Their foreheads embraced the dust. Their nostrils were defiled with filth. Many a noble, generous man we slew this day. We left them as meat for the hyenas. And later, they shall burn in the fires of Hell.”

579Ishaq:349 “The battle will tell the world about us. Distant men will heed our warning. The infidels may cut off my leg, yet I am a Muslim. I will exchange my life for one with virgins fashioned like the most beautiful statues.”

Ishaq:357 “Their leaders were left prostrate. Their heads were sliced off like melons. Many an adversary have I left on the ground to rise in pain, broken and plucked. When the battle was joined I dealt a vicious blow. Their arteries cried aloud, their blood flowed.”

Ishaq:308 “Muhammad halted on a sandhill and divided the booty Allah had given him equally. Then Muslims from Medina met him at Rauha. They congratulated him on the victory Allah had granted. But one of the warriors replied, ‘What are you congratulating us about? We only met some bald old women like the sacrificial camels who are hobbled, and we slaughtered them!’ The Apostle smiled because he knew that description fit.”

Tabari VII:81 “The Prophet said, ‘It is because of the taking of ransoms which has been laid before your companions. It was laid before me that I should punish them instead.’ Allah revealed: ‘It is not for any Prophet to have captives until he has made slaughter in the land.’ After that Allah made booty lawful for them.”

Tabari VII:98 “The Messenger ordered Zayd out on a raid in which he captured a Quraysh caravan led by Abu Sufyan at a watering place in Najd. A number of their merchants set out with a large amount of silver since this was the main part of their merchandise. Zayd captured the caravan and its goods but was unable to capture the men. He brought the caravan to the Prophet.”

Tabari VII:98 “The reason for this expedition was that the Quraysh said, ‘Muhammad has damaged our trade and sits astride our road. If we stay in Mecca we’ll consume our capital.’”

Quran 003.150 “And We will cast ru’ba | terror into the hearts of the disbelievers because they associated partners, friends, and coworkers with Il-Lahi, which is contrary to what He sent down under His authority. So their refuge (will be) the Fire – the evil and wretched abode of the disbelievers.”

Ishaq:395 “Muslims, if you listen to unbelievers you will retreat from the enemy and become losers. Ask Allah for victory 580and do not retreat from His religion. ‘We will terrorize those who disbelieve. In that way I will help you against them.’”

Quran 033.009 “O ye who believe! Remember the grace of Allah on you when there came down an army. But We sent against them a hurricane and forces that ye saw not: but Allah sees all that ye do. Behold! They came on from above and from below you, and eyes became dim and hearts gaped up to the throats, stupefied with terror, and ye imagined various vain thoughts about Allah!”

Ishaq:461 “Muhammad besieged them for twenty-five nights. When the siege became too severe, Allah terrorized them. Then they were told to submit to the judgment of Allah’s Messenger.”



War

Ishaq:208 “When Allah gave permission to his Apostle to fight, the Second Aqabah contained conditions involving war which were not in the first act of submission. Now we bound ourselves to war against all mankind for Allah and His Apostle. He promised us a reward in Paradise for faithful service. We pledged ourselves to war in complete obedience to Muhammad no matter how evil the circumstances.”

Ishaq:472 “Muhammad’s Companions are the best in war.”

Quran 008.007 “Al-Lahu intended to prove and justify the truth by His word and cut off the roots of the disbelievers.”

581Ishaq:324 “Fight them so that there is no more rebellion, and religion, all of it, is for Allah only. Allah must have no rivals.”

Quran 008.045 “‘O believers! When you meet a party, faction or force, whether a community or a group, take a firm stand against them and remember al-Laha much so that you may be successful.’”

Quran 008.058 “If you fear treachery or see signs of disloyalty from any people, including allies, then you may disregard and renounce your treaty with them and retaliate by breaking it off..”

Quran 008.059 “And (let) not those who disbelieve think that they (can) prevail, out-perform, or escape (the punishment). Verily, they will never be able to defend themselves.”

Quran 008.060 “And make ready against them whatever force and firepower you can muster, every obtainable transport of military equipment you can mobilize, including war mounts (tanks, planes, missiles, and artillery) (to) threaten and terrify (the) enemy of al-Lahi and your enemy, and others besides whom you (may) not know (but) whom al-Lahu does know. And whatever you spend in the Cause (of) al-Lahi shall be fully repaid to you.”

Quran 008.071 “If they intend (to) betray you, lo, they have betrayed al-Laha before. So He gave mastery over them.”

Ishaq:204 “‘Men of the Khazraj, do you know what you are pledging yourselves to in swearing allegiance to this man?’ ‘Yes,’ they answered. ‘In swearing allegiance to him we are pledging ourselves to wage war against all mankind.’”

Ishaq:471 “We are steadfast trusting Him. We have a Prophet by whom we will conquer all men.”

Quran 004.077 “Have you not seen those to whom it was said: Withhold your hands from fighting, perform the prayer and pay the zakat. But when orders for fighting were issued, a party of them feared men as they ought to have feared Allah. They say: ‘Our 582Lord, why have You ordained fighting for us, why have You made war compulsory?’”

Ishaq:322 “Allah said, ‘Do not turn away from Muhammad when he is speaking to you. Do not contradict his orders. And do not be a hypocrite, one who pretends to be obedient to him and then disobeys him. Those who do so will receive My vengeance. You must respond to the Apostle when he summons you to war.”

Ishaq:544 “Hassan incited men, reciting: ‘This is time for war. Don’t feel safe from us. Our swords will open the door to death.’”

Bukhari:V5B57N1 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘A time will come when a group of Muslims will wage a Holy War and it will be said, “Is there anyone who has accompanied Allah’s Apostle?” They will say, “Yes.” And so victory will be bestowed on them.’”

Ishaq:574 “In faith I do not fear the army of fate. He gave us the blood of their best men to drink when we led our army against them. We are a great army with a pungent smell. And we attack continuously, wherever our enemy is found.”

Quran 009.005 “When the sacred forbidden months for fighting are past, fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, torture them, and lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”

Quran 067.020 “Who is he that will send an army to assist you besides Ar-Rahman? The unbelievers are lost in delusion.”

Tabari IX:115 “The military expeditions (Ghazawat) in which the Messenger personally participated were twenty-six. Some say there were twenty-seven.”

Tabari IX:118 “The armies and raiding parties sent by the Messenger of Allah between the time he came to Medina and his death (ten years) was forty-eight.”

Quran 048.015 “Those who remained behind will say when you set forth, marching towards the plunder to take spoils, ‘Allow us to follow you.’ They want to change words al-Lahi. Say, ‘Never will you follow us.’ Thus al-Lahu said from before. Then they will say, ‘Nay, you envy us.’ Nay, they were not understanding.

Quran 047.020 “Those who believe say, ‘How is it that no surah was sent down (for us)?’ But when a categorical surah is revealed, 583and fighting and war (Jihad, holy fighting in Allah’s Cause) are ordained, you will see those with diseased hearts looking at you fainting unto death. Therefore woe to them!”

Tabari VIII:159 “The people began to throw dust at the army, saying, ‘You retreating runaways. You fled in the Cause of Allah!’ But the Messenger said, ‘They are not fleers. Allah willing, they are ones who will return to fight another day.’”

Quran 009.025 “Assuredly, Allah did give you victory on many battlefields.... Allah did send down His forces (angels) which you saw not. He punished the Infidels. Such is their reward.”

Quran 009.041 “March forth (equipped) with light or heavy arms. Strive with your goods and your lives in the Cause of Allah. That is best for you.”

Ishaq:548 “Finally, the squadrons of the Messenger, composed of Emigrants and Ansar in iron armor with only their eyes visible, passed by. His company had become great. Woe to you, none can withstand him. It was all due to his prophetic office.”

Tabari IX:20 “The Messenger and his companions went directly to Ta’if. They encamped there for a fortnight, waging war. The townsfolk fought the Muslims from behind the fort. None came out in the open. All of the surrounding people surrendered and sent their delegations to the Prophet. After besieging Ta’if for twenty days, Muhammad left and halted at Ji’ranah where the captives of Hunayn were held with their women and children. Those captives taken numbered six thousand with women and children.”

Tabari VIII:176 “The Prophet sent out his army in divisions. Zubayr was in charge of the left wing. He was ordered to make an entry with his forces from Kuda. Sa’d was commanded to enter with forces by way of Kada. Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Today is a day for battle and war. Sanctuary is no more. Today the sacred territory is deemed profane.’ When one of the Muhajirs heard him say this, he warned the Apostle, ‘It is to be feared that you would resort to violence.’ The Prophet ordered Ali to go after him, to take the flag from him, and fight with it himself.”

Tabari IX:8 “The Messenger marched with 2,000 Meccans and 10,000 of his Companions who had come with him to facilitate the conquest of Mecca. Thus there were 12,000 in all.”

584Bukhari:V5B59N320 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘When your enemy comes near shoot at them but use your arrows sparingly (so that they are not wasted).’”

Ishaq:572 “Muhammad is the man, an Apostle of my Lord who errs not, neither does he sin. Any who would rival him in goodness must fail. Evil was the state of our enemy so they lost the day. Fortunes change and we came upon them like lions from the thickets. The armies of Allah came openly, flying at them in rage, so they could not get away. We destroyed them and forced them to surrender. In the former days there was no battle like this; their blood flowed freely. We slew them and left them in the dust. Those who escaped were choked with terror. A multitude of them were slain. This is Allah’s war in which those who do not accept Islam will have no helper. War destroyed the tribe and fate the clan.”

Ishaq:583 “Since you have made Khalid chief of the army and promoted him, he has become a chief indeed, leading an army guided by Allah. Firmly clad in mail, warriors with lances leveled, we are a strong force not unlike a rushing torrent. We smite the wicked while we swear an oath to Muhammad…fighting in the quest of booty.”

Ishaq:586 “Red blood flowed because of our rage.”

Ishaq:587 “Ka’b Malik reacted to the Apostle’s decision. He said, ‘We put an end to doubt at Khaybar. We will make homes desolate. Our cavalry will come upon you leaving behind a tangled mass. When we assault a town they sound a cry of alarm but our sharp cutting swords flash like lightning. By them we bring death to those who struggle against us. Flowing blood was mingled with saffron the morn the forces met. They were taken by surprise and we surrounded them with our troops.”’”

Ishaq:587 “We shall fight as long as we live. We will fight until you turn to Islam. We will fight not caring whom we meet. We will fight whether we destroy ancient holdings or newly gotten gains. We have cut off every opponent’s nose and ears with our fine swords. We have driven them violently before us at the command of Allah and Islam. We will fight until our religion is established. And we will plunder them, for they must suffer disgrace.”

Ishaq:602 “The Apostle ordered Muslims to prepare for a military expedition so that he could raid the Byzantines.”

585Muslim:C34B20N4669 “The Prophet said: ‘He who equips a warrior in the Way of Allah is like one who actually fights and he who looks after the family of a warrior in the Allah’s Cause in fact participated in the battle.’”

Quran 100.001 “I call to witness the (cavalry steeds), the (snorting courses), that run breathing pantingly, striking sparks of fire, scouring to the raid at dawn, raising clouds of dust as they penetrate deep into the midst of a foe en masse.”

Ishaq:322 “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who reject Me. So strike off their heads and cut off their fingers. All who oppose Me and My Prophet shall be punished severely.”

Quran 013.041 “Do they not see that We come to the Land, advancing from all sides, reducing it (by giving it to believers in war victories)? And al-Lahu decides and judges, there is no adjustment of His Judgment. So He is swift (in) the reckoning.”

Ishaq:404 “War has distracted me, but blame me not, ‘tis my habit. Struggling with the burdens it imposes, I bear arms bestride my horse at a cavalry’s gallop, running like a wild ass in the desert.”

Tabari VIII:13 “Cities were conquered in the time of Umar, Uthman, and others. Muslims used to say, ‘Conquer for yourselves whatever seems good to you; for by Allah you have conquered no city but that Muhammad was given its keys beforehand.’”

Ishaq:475 “Allah commanded that horses should be kept for His enemy in the fight so they might vex them. We obeyed our Prophet’s orders when he called us to war. When he called for 586violent efforts we made them. The Prophet’s command is obeyed for he is truly believed. He will give us victory, glory, and a life of ease. They attacked our religion and would not submit.”

Ishaq:489 “War is kindled by passing winds. Our swords glitter, cutting through pugnacious heads. Allah puts obstacles in our victims’ way to protect His sacred property and our dignity.”

Ishaq:594 “The Apostle gave gifts to those whose hearts were to be won over, notably the chiefs of the army, to win them and through them the people.”

Quran 005.033 “The only rendering and reward for those who are in conflict with or frustrated by al-Laha and his Messenger, who walk or work upon the earth, wrong or invalid, corrupt or mischievous, is that they be slaughtered, they be put to death by crucifixion, they have their hands and feet be cut off and severed on opposite sides, or they be banned, driven away, cast out, and removed, from the earth. That is for them the vile and despicable abasement, the shameful affliction, and evil degradation, in the down-low world of the here and now. And for them in retreating during the hereafter a glorious and grievous punishment, magnified and abounding torture.”

Jihad

Quran 002.216 “Al-Qitalu | the Fighting and Killing is ordained and prescribed upon you, while hateful to you. But perhaps that you dislike a thing and it good for you, and perhaps that you like a thing and it bad for you. And al-Lahu knows while you know not.”

Bukhari:V4B52N44 “A man came to Allah’s Apostle and said, ‘Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad in reward.’ He 587replied, ‘I do not find such a deed. Can you, while the Muslim fighter has gone out for Jihad, enter a mosque to perform prayers without ceasing and fast forever?’”

Bukhari:V1B2N25 “Allah’s Apostle was asked, ‘What is the best deed?’ He replied, ‘To believe in Allah and His Apostle Muhammad.’ The questioner then asked, ‘What is the next (in goodness)?’ He replied, ‘To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah’s Cause.’ The questioner again asked, ‘What is the next (in goodness)?’ He replied, ‘To perform Hajj (Pilgrim age to Mecca) in accordance with the Traditions of the Prophet.’”

Bukhari:V4B53N412 “Allah’s Apostle said on the conquest of Mecca, ‘There is no migration now, only Jihad, holy battle. And when you are called for Jihad, you should come out at once.’”

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.’”

Muslim:C28B20N4631 “Muhammad said, ‘I would not stay behind when a raid for Jihad was being mobilized unless it was going to be too hard on believers. I love that I should be killed in Allah’s Cause; then be brought back to life and be killed again.’”

Quran 009.111 “Lo, al-Laha purchased from believers their lives and wealth because for them, Paradise. They qatilun | fight in the Cause of al-Lahi. They slay and are slain, kill and are killed.”

Quran 047.004 “So, when you meet, clashing with the unbelieving infidels, strike their necks until when you have overpowered and subdued them, then severely bind them with shackles and fetters. Then whatever is deemed fit thereafter, even if ransom until the war and plunder lay down their burdens.”

Quran 009.091 “There is no blame on those who are old, weak, ill, or who find no resources to spend (on Jihad, holy fighting), if they are sincere (in duty) to Allah and His Messenger.”

Quran 009.122 “It is not proper for the believers to all go forth together to fight Jihad. A troop from every expedition should remain behind when others go to war.”

588Bukhari:V4B52N50 “The Prophet said, ‘A single endeavor of fighting in Allah’s Cause is better than the world and what is in it.’”

Noble Quran 002.190 Footnote: “Jihad is holy fighting in Allah’s Cause with full force of numbers and weaponry. It is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars. By Jihad Islam is established, Allah’s Word is made superior (which means only Allah has the right to be worshiped), and Islam is propagated. By abandoning Jihad Islam is destroyed and Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honor is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim. He who tries to escape from this duty, or does not fulfill this duty, dies as a hypocrite.”

Bukhari:V4B52N65 “A man came to the Prophet and asked, ‘A man fights for war booty; another fights for fame and a third fights for showing off; which of them fights in Allah’s Cause?’ The Prophet said, ‘He who fights that Allah’s Word, Islam, should be superior, fights in Allah’s Cause.’”

Muslim:C40B20N4676 “Jihad Is Compulsory.”

Bukhari:V4B52N284-5 “When the Divine Inspiration: ‘Those of the believers who sit at home,’ was revealed, Maktum came to the Prophet while he was dictating the verse. ‘Allah’s Apostle! If I were able, I would take part in Jihad.’ So Allah sent down revelation to His Apostle: ‘...except those who are disabled, blind, or lame.’”

Muslim:C40B20N4676 “Believers who sit home and those who go out for Jihad in Allah’s Cause are not equal.”

Bukhari:V4B52N54 “The Prophet said, ‘By Him in Whose Hands my life is! Were it not for the believers who do not want me to leave them, I would certainly and always go forth in army-units setting out for Jihad. I would love to be martyred in Allah’s Cause and then get resurrected and get martyred again only to be resurrected so that I could get martyred once more.’”

Bukhari:V4B52N216 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Were it not for fear it would be difficult for my followers, I would not have remained behind any army units. But I don’t have riding camels and have no other means of conveyance. No doubt I wish I could fight in Allah’s Cause and be martyred and come to life to be martyred again.’”

589Bukhari:V4B52N45 “Someone asked, ‘Allah’s Apostle, who is the best among the people?’ He replied, ‘A believer who strives his utmost in Allah’s Cause with his life and property.’”

Bukhari:V4B52N48 “The people said, ‘Allah’s Apostle! Acquaint the people with the good news.’ He said, ‘Paradise has one hundred grades which Allah has reserved for the Mujahidin who fight in His Cause. The distance between each grade is like the distance between the Heaven and the Earth.’”

Bukhari:V4B52N66 “Anyone whose feet get covered with dust in Allah’s Cause will not be touched by the Hell Fire.”

Bukhari:V4B52N137 “The Prophet said, ‘Let the negro slave of Dinar perish. And if he is pierced with a thorn, let him not find anyone to take it out for him. Paradise is for him who holds the reins of his horse to strive in Allah’s Cause with his hair unkempt and feet covered with dust. If he is appointed in the vanguard, he is perfectly satisfied with his post of guarding, and if he is appointed in the rearward, he accepts his post with satisfaction. If he asks for anything it shall not be granted, and if he needs intercession, his intercession will be denied.’ The Prophet said, ‘Paradise is for him who holds the reins of his horse to strive in Allah’s Cause with his hair unkempt and feet covered with dust.’”

Bukhari:V4B51N47 “‘What causes you to smile, O Allah’s Apostle?’ He said, ‘Some of my followers who in a dream were presented to me as fighters in Allah’s Cause on board a ship amidst the sea caused me to smile.’”

Bukhari:V4B51N72 “Our Prophet told us about the message of our Lord: ‘Whoever amongst us is killed will go to Paradise.’ Umar asked the Prophet, ‘Is it not true that our men who are killed will go to Paradise and the Pagan’s will go to the Hell Fire?’ The Prophet said, ‘Yes.’”

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

Bukhari:V4B52N80 “Muhammad said, ‘Allah welcomes two men with a smile; one of whom kills the other and both of them enter Paradise. One fights in Allah’s Cause and gets killed. Later on Allah forgives the killer who also get martyred in Allah’s Cause.’”

590Bukhari:V4B52N287 “The Emigrants and the Ansar said, ‘We are those who have given a pledge of allegiance to Muhammad that we will carry on Jihad as long as we live.’”

Bukhari:V4B52N94 “The Prophet said, ‘Whoever spends two things in Allah’s Cause will be called by all the gatekeepers of Paradise.’ They will say, ‘O so-and-so! Come here.’ Abu Bakr said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Such persons will never be destroyed.’ The Prophet said, ‘I hope you will be one of them.’”

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.”

Bukhari:V4B52N43 “Aisha said, ‘Apostle! We consider Jihad as the best deed. Should we not fight in Allah’s Cause?’ He said, ‘The best Jihad for women is the Hajj done as I have done it.’”

Bukhari:V4B52N134 “We used to take part in holy battles with the Prophet, providing his fighters with water and bringing the killed and the wounded back to Medina.”

Bukhari:V4B52N175 “Paradise is granted to the first batch of my followers who will undertake a naval expedition.’ The Prophet then said, ‘The first army amongst my followers who will invade Caesar’s City will be forgiven their sins.’”

Bukhari:V4B52N178-9 “The Prophet said, ‘One of the portents of the Hour is that you will fight with people wearing shoes made of hair. And you will fight the Turks, a broad-faced people with small eyes, red faces, and flat noses. Their faces will look like shields coated with leather.’”

Bukhari:V4B52N182-4 “Allah’s Apostle invoked evil upon the infidels, ‘Allah! The revealer of the Holy Book, defeat these people and shake them. Fill the infidels’ houses and graves with fire as they busied us so that we did not perform the prayer until sunset.’”

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.’ When we intended to depart, Allah’s Apostle said, ‘I have ordered you to burn so-and-so and so-and-so, but only Allah punishes with fire, so, if you find them, kill them.’”

591Bukhari:V4B52N203 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘He who obeys me, obeys Allah, and he who disobeys me, disobeys Allah. He who obeys the chief, obeys me, and he who disobeys the chief, disobeys me.’”

Bukhari:V4B52N208 “My brother and I came to the Prophet and asked to migrate. He said, ‘Migration has passed away.’ I replied, ‘For what will you accept our pledge of allegiance?’ He said, ‘I will take the pledge for Islam and Jihad.’”

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.’”

Bukhari:V4B52N267 “The Prophet said, ‘Khosrau will be ruined, and there will be none after him, and Caesar will surely be ruined and there will be no Caesar after him, and you will spend their treasures in Allah’s Cause. He proclaimed, ‘War is deceit.’”

Bukhari:V4B53N386 “Umar sent Muslims to great countries to fight pagans. He said, ‘I intend to invade Persia and Rome.’ So, he ordered us to go to Khosrau. When we reached the enemy, Khosrau’s representative came out with 40,000 warriors, saying, ‘Talk to me! Who are you?’ Mughira replied, ‘We are Arabs; we led a hard, miserable, disastrous life. We used to worship trees and stones. While we were in this state, our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone or pay us the Jizyah tribute tax in submission. Our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says: ‘Whoever amongst us is killed as a martyr shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever survives shall become your master.’”

Tabari IX:49 “Muhammad urged the Muslims by way of a meeting to help cover the expenses of Jihad in Allah’s Cause. The men provided mounts in anticipation of Allah’s reward.”

Ishaq:603 “The Apostle went forward with his preparations and ordered the men to get ready with all speed. He urged Muslims to help provide the money, mounts, and means to do Allah’s work. Those who contributed earned rewards with Allah.”

Tabari IX:76 “Malik has reported to me that you were the first from Himyar to embrace Islam and that you have killed infidels, so rejoice at your good fortune.”

592Quran 047.033 “O you who believe, obey al-Lahu, and obey al-Rasula. Do not falter and render not your actions vain such that your deeds go to waste.”

Muslim:C29B20N4636 “The Messenger of Allah was asked: ‘What deed could be equivalent to Jihad in the Cause of Allah? He answered: ‘You do not have the strength to do that deed.’ The question was repeated twice or thrice. Every time he answered: ‘You do not have the strength to do it.’ When the question was asked for the third time, he said: ‘One who goes out for Jihad is like a person who keeps fasts and stands in prayer forever, never exhibiting any weariness until the Mujihid returns from Jihad.’”

Muslim:C29B20N4638 “As I was (sitting) near the pulpit of the Messenger a man said: ‘I do not care if, after embracing Islam, I do not do any good deed (except) distributing drinking water to pilgrims.’ Another said: ‘I do not care if I do not do any good deed beyond maintenance service to the Sacred Mosque.’ Yet another said: ‘Jihad in the Way of Allah is better than what you have said.’ When prayer was over, I entered (the apartment of the Prophet) and asked his verdict about the matter. It was upon this that Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, revealed the Quranic Verse: ‘Do you make the giving of drinking water to the pilgrims and the maintenance of the Sacred Mosque equal to who believe in Allah and strive hard and fight Jihad in His Cause. They are not equal. Those who believed and fought Jihad in Allah’s Cause with their wealth and their lives are far higher in degree with Allah.’”

Muslim:C30B20N4639 “The Messenger said: ‘Leaving for Jihad in the Way of Allah in the morning or in the evening will merit a reward better than the world and all that is in it.’”

Muslim:C32B20N4646 “Muhammad stood among his companions to deliver his sermon in which he told them that Jihad in Allah’s Cause and belief in Allah were the most meritorious acts. A man stood and said: ‘Messenger, do you think that if I am killed in the Way of Allah, my sins will be blotted out?’ The Messenger said: ‘Yes, in case you are killed in Allah’s Cause and you always fought facing the enemy, never turning your back upon him.’ The man asked (again).’ The Messenger said: ‘Yes, if you always fought facing the enemy and never retreated. Gabriel has told me this.’”

593Bukhari:V4B52N104 “The Prophet said, ‘Good will remain in the foreheads of horses for Jihad for they bring about a reward in Paradise or booty.’”

Bukhari:V4B52N105 “If somebody keeps a horse in Allah’s Cause motivated by His promise, then he will be rewarded for what the horse has eaten or drunk and for its dung and urine.”

Ishaq:470 “We attacked them fully armed, sharp swords in hand, cutting through heads and skulls.”

Tabari VII:144 & Ishaq:426 “The Muslims bivouacked for the night and were taken by surprise. So the Muslims took up their swords [not Qurans] to fight them, but the Lihyans said, ‘We do not want to kill you. We only want to get some money by selling you to the Meccans. We swear by Allah’s Covenant that we will not kill you.’ ‘By Allah,’ Asim said, ‘we will never accept an agreement from an unbelieving infidel.’ They fought until they were killed.”

Ishaq:445 “The rules of the Prayer of Fear were revealed during this raid. The Messenger of Allah divided the Companions into two groups; one stood facing the enemy while the other stood behind the Prophet. He magnified Allah by shouting ‘Allahu Akbar.’ Then he and those behind him performed a rak’ah and prostrated themselves.”

Bukhari:V4B52N68 “When Allah’s Apostle returned from the battle of the Trench, he put down his arms and took a bath. Then Gabriel whose head was covered with dust, came to him saying, ‘You have put down your arms! By Allah, I have not put down my arms yet.’ Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Where to go now?’ Gabriel said, ‘This way,’ pointing towards the tribe of Qurayza. So Allah’s Apostle went out towards them.”

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

Ishaq:489 “Do the bastards think that we are not their equal in fighting? We are men who believe there is no shame in killing. We don’t turn from piercing lances. We smite the heads of the haughty with blows. We’re heroes, protecting our war banner. We are a 594noble force, as fierce as wolves. We preserve our honor and protect our property by smashing heads.”

Tabari VIII:48 “Then he set out at full speed after the enemy. He was like a beast of prey.”

Ishaq:490 & Tabari VIII:51 “The Muslims advanced and fought fiercely. Allah caused the Mustaliq to fight and killed some of them. Allah gave the Apostle their children, women, and property as booty.”

Muslim:B19N4292 “Aun inquired whether it was necessary to extend an invitation to submit to Islam before murdering them 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.”

Tabari VIII:56 & Ishaq:493 “According to Aisha: ‘A great number of Mustaliq were wounded. The Messenger took many captives, and they were divided among all the Muslims. Juwayriyah was one of the slaves. When the Prophet divided the captives by lot, Juwayriyah fell to the share of Thabit, Muhammad’s cousin. She gave him a deed for her freedom which he did not accept. Juwayriyah was the most beautiful woman and she captivated anyone who looked at her. She came to the Apostle seeking his help. As soon as I saw her at the door of my chamber, I took a dislike to her, and I knew that he would see in her what I saw.’”

Muslim:C26B20N4614 “I saw Allah’s Messenger twisting the forelock of a horse with his fingers as he was saying: ‘A great benefit. A reward for rearing them for Jihad. The spoils of war have been tied to the forelocks of horses.’”

Muslim:C28B20N4626 “Merit of Jihad and Campaigning in Allah’s Cause: The Apostle said: ‘Allah has undertaken to look after the affairs of one who goes out to fight in His Way believing in Him and affirming the truth of His Apostle. He is committed that He will either admit him to Paradise or bring him back to his home with a reward or his share of booty. If a person gets wounded in Allah’s Cause he will arrive on the Day of Judgment with his wound in the same condition as it was when it was first inflicted; its color will be blood but its smell will be musk perfume. If it were not too hard on Muslims I would not lag behind any raid going out to fight 595in the Cause of Allah. But I do not have abundant means to provide them (the Mujahids) with riding beasts, nor have they all have the means. I love to fight in the Way of Allah and be killed, to fight and again be killed and to fight and be killed.’”

Tabari VIII:123 & Ishaq:515 “Allah’s Apostle besieged the final community until they could hold out no longer. Finally, when they were certain that they would perish, they asked Muhammad to banish them and spare their lives, which he did. The Prophet took possession of all their property.”

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.’”

Bukhari:V5B59N516 “When Allah’s Apostle fought or raided people we raised our voices saying, ‘Allahu-Akbar! Allahu-Akbar! None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.’”

Tabari VIII:130 “The Prophet conquered Khaybar by force after fighting. Khaybar was something that Allah gave as booty to His Messenger. He took one-fifth of it and divided the remainder among the Muslims. The inhabitants who surrendered did so on condition that they should be expelled.”

Martyrs & Mercenaries

Muslim:C31B20N4645 “The Prophet said: ‘Whoever cheerfully accepts Allah as his Lord, Islam as his Religion and Muhammad as his Apostle is necessarily entitled to enter Paradise.’ Abu wondered at it and said: ‘Messenger of Allah, repeat that for me.’ He did that and said: ‘There is another act which elevates the position of a man in Paradise to a grade one hundred (higher), and the elevation between one grade and the other is equal to the height 596of the heaven from the earth.’ Abu said: ‘What is that act?’ He replied: ‘Jihad in the Way of Allah! Jihad in Allah’s Cause!’”

Bukhari:V4B52N53 “The Prophet said, ‘Nobody who dies and finds Paradise would wish to come back to this life even if he were given the whole world and whatever is in it, except the martyr who, on seeing the superiority of martyrdom, would like to come back to get killed again in Allah’s Cause.’”

Quran 033.022 “The Believers said: ‘This is what Allah and his Messenger promised us.’ It added to their faith, obedience, and submission. Among the Believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah and have gone out for Jihad (holy fighting). Some have completed their vow to extreme (and have been martyred) fighting and dying in His Cause, and some are waiting, prepared for death in battle.”

Bukhari V4B52N46 “Allah guarantees that He will admit the Muslim fighter into Paradise if he is killed, otherwise He will return him to his home safely with rewards and booty.”

Ishaq:518 “Masud was one of those who found martyrdom at Khaybar. Muhammad said, ‘He has with him now his two dark-eyed virgins. When a martyr is slain, his two virgins pet him, wiping the dust from his face. They say, “May Allah throw dust on the face of the man who did this to you, and slay him who slew you!”’”

Tabari VIII:153 & Ishaq:533 “Abdallah Rawahah encouraged the men, saying, ‘By Allah, what you loathe is the very thing you came out to seek – martyrdom. We are not fighting the enemy with 597number, strength, or multitude, but we are fighting them with this religion with which Allah has honored us. So come on! Both prospects are fine: victory or martyrdom.’ So they went forward.”

Quran 009.111 “Lo, al-Laha purchased from the believers their lives and their wealth because for them, Paradise. They fight in the Cause of al-Lahi. They slay and are slain, kill and are killed.”

Quran 004.074 “Let those who fight in Allah’s Cause sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fights in the Cause of Allah, whether he is slain or gets victory, we give him a reward.”

Muslim:C29B20N4634 “The Messenger of Allah said, ‘Nobody who dies and has something good for him with Allah will (like to) return even though he were offered the whole world and all that is in it (as an inducement), except the martyr who desires to return and be killed for the merit of martyrdom.’”

Muslim:C29B20N4635 “The Prophet said: ‘Nobody who enters Paradise wants return even if he were offered everything on the surface of the earth except the martyr who will desire to return and be killed ten times for the sake of the great honor that has been bestowed upon him.’”

Muslim:C33B20N4651 “We asked Abdallah about the Quranic Verse: ‘Think not of those who are slain in Allah’s way as dead. Nay, they are alive, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord.’ (Quran 003.169) He said: ‘We asked the Holy Prophet the meaning of the verse and he said: “The souls of martyrs live in the bodies of green birds who have their nests in chandeliers hung from the throne of the Almighty. They eat the fruits of Paradise from wherever they like and then nestle in these chandeliers. Once their Lord cast a glance at them and said: ‘Do you want anything?’ They said: ‘What more shall we desire? We eat the fruit of Paradise from wherever we like.’ Their Lord asked them the same question thrice. When they saw that they would continue to be asked and not left, they said: ‘O Lord, we wish that Thou mayest return our souls to our bodies so that we may be slain in Thy Way once again.’ When He (Allah) saw that they had no need, they were left (to their joy).”’”

Ishaq:400 “One whom I do not suspect told me that he was asked about these verses and he said, ‘We asked Muhammad about them and we were told that when our brethren were slain at Uhud Allah put their spirits in the crops of green birds which come down 598to the rivers of the Garden and eat of its fruits. In the shade of the Throne of Allah the Lord takes one look at them and says three times: ‘O My slaves, what do you wish that I should give you more?’ They say, ‘We should like our spirits to return to our bodies and then return to earth and fight for You until we are killed again.’”

Muslim:C41B20N4678 “Proof of Martyr’s Attaining Paradise: Jabir said that a man said, ‘Messenger of Allah, where shall I be if I am killed?’ He replied: ‘In Paradise.’ The man threw away the dates he had in his hand and fought until he was killed.”

Muslim:C41B20N4681 “Abdallah heard it from his father who, while facing the enemy, reported that the Messenger said: ‘Surely, the gates of Paradise are under the shadows of the swords.’ A man in a shabby condition got up and said: ‘Did you hear the Prophet say this?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ He returned to his friends and said: ‘I greet you (a farewell greeting).’ Then he broke the sheath of his sword, threw it away, advanced with his sword towards the enemy and fought with it until he was slain.”

Muslim:C44B20N4691 “Muhammad said: ‘A troop of soldiers, large or small, who fight get their share of the booty and return safe and sound, receive in advance two-thirds of their reward; and a troop of soldiers who return empty-handed and are afflicted or wounded will receive their full reward.’”

Muslim:51B20N4706 “Allah’s Messenger said: ‘Whom do you consider to be a martyr among you?’ The Companions said: ‘One who is slain in Allah’s Cause is a martyr.’ He said: ‘Then (if this is the definition of a martyr) the martyrs of my Umma will be small in number.’ They asked: ‘Prophet, who are martyrs then?’ He said: ‘One who is slain in Allah’s Cause is a martyr; one who dies in the Way of Allah is a martyr; one who dies of plague is a martyr; one who dies of cholera is a martyr.’”

Ishaq:208 “Uhud commanded the Apostles archers. He was killed in the battle of Yemen as a martyr. Abu was present at all of the Apostle’s battles and died in Byzantine territory as a martyr. Mu’adh was present at every raid. He was killed at Badr as a martyr. Mu’awwidh, his brother, shared the same glory. Umara was at every battle and died a martyr in Yemen. As’ad died before Badr when the Prophet’s mosque was being built. The Apostle put Amr in command of the rearguard. He died at Uhud as a martyr. 599Abdallah led many raids and was slain as a martyr at Muta. He was one of Muhammad’s commanders. Khallad fought at Badr, Uhud, and Khandaq. He was martyred fighting the Qurayza. The Apostle said that he would have the reward of two martyrs.”

Bukhari:V5B59N377 “A man came to the Prophet and said, ‘Can you tell me where I will go if I get martyred?’ The Prophet replied, ‘To Paradise.’ The man fought till he was martyred.”

Ishaq:306 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘70,000 of my followers shall enter Paradise like the full moon.’ Ukkasha asked if he could be one of them. Then a lesser Ansari asked to be included, but the Prophet replied, ‘Ukkasha beat you to it and my prayer is now cold.’”

Bukhari:V5B59N379 “When we wrote the Quran, I missed one verse I used to hear Allah’s Apostle reciting. Then we searched and found it. The verse was: ‘Among the Believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah. Of them, some have fulfilled their obligations to Allah, and some of them are waiting to be killed.’ (Quran 033.023) So we wrote this in the Quran.”

Quran 061.010 “O who believe, shall I guide you to an act (that) will save you from a painful punishment? Quran 061.011 Believe in il-Lahi and His Messenger, and Jihad | Fighting in the Cause of al-Lahi with your wealth and your lives. That better for you, if you know. Quran 061.012 He will forgive you your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow, and pleasant dwelling in Gardens of ‘Adn. That is great success. Quran 061.013 And another which you love, a help from al-Lahi and a near victory.”

Bukhari:V4B52N72 “The Prophet said, ‘Nobody who enters Paradise likes to go back to the world even if he got everything on the earth, except a Mujahid who wishes to return so that he may be martyred ten times because of the dignity he receives.’ Our Prophet 600told us about the message of Allah: ‘Whoever among us is killed will go to Paradise.’ Umar asked the Prophet, ‘Is it not true that our men who are killed will go to Paradise and those of the Pagan’s will go to Hell?’ The Prophet said, ‘Yes.’”

Ishaq:388 “Abu Qasim [Muhammad] said, ‘I testify concerning these that all wounded for Allah’s sake will be raised with his wounds bleeding, the color of blood, the smell of musk. Put the one who remembered the most surahs on top of the others in one mass grave.’”

Quran 003.140 “If you have suffered an injury and have been wounded, be sure they are also injured and suffer similar wounds. And so are the days, We give to men by turns, that al-Lahu makes evident that He may test those who believe and take shuhadaa | martyrs from among you.”

Quran 003.156 “If you are slain in Allah’s Cause, pardon from Allah and mercy are far better than all they could amass.”

Ishaq:397 “There is no escape from death, so death for Allah’s sake in battle is better than all one can amass in life while holding back from fighting in fear of death. Let not the world deceive you and be not deceived by it. Let fighting and the reward which Allah holds out to you be the most important thing.”

Quran 003.169 “And not think those who are killed in the Way of al-Lahi dead. Nay, they are alive near their Lord. They have provision. Jubilant in the bounty provided by Allah. And to those left behind, who have not yet joined them, the Martyrs glory in the fact that on them is no fear, nor cause to grieve.”

Quran 003.172 “Those who responded Lillahi and the Rasuli from after what the injury befell them; for those who did good among them and feared, a great reward.”

Ishaq:468 “Then Allah said, ‘Some of you have fulfilled your vow to Me by dying; you have finished your work and returned to Me like those who sought martyrdom in prior battles. And some are still waiting to capitalize on Allah’s promise of martyrdom. You do not hesitate in your religion and never doubt.’”

Ishaq:469 “On the day the Qurayza Jews were slain, one Muslim was martyred. A stone was thrown on him and it inflicted 601a shattering wound. The Apostle said, ‘He will have the reward of two martyrs.’”

Tabari VIII:46 “Akhram said, ‘If you believe in Allah and know that Paradise is real and that the Fire is real, do not stand between me and martyrdom!’ But Abd-Rahman dismounted and thrust his spear into Akhram. So I shot Abd-Rahman with an arrow, and said, ‘Take that!’”

Quran 047.004 “But if it had been Allah’s will, He Himself could have exacted retribution and punished them. But He lets you fight in order to test you. But those who are killed in Allah’s Cause, will never let their deeds go to waste.”

Muslim Mujahideen

Quran 008.073 “The infidels aid one another. Unless you do the same there will be anarchy in the land. Those who accepted Islam and left their homes to fight in Allah’s Cause are good Muslims.”

Ishaq:406 “Among us was Allah’s Apostle whose command we obey. When he gives an order we do not examine it. The spirit descends on him from his Lord. We tell him about our wishes and our desires which is to obey him in all that he wants. Cast off fear of death and desire it. Be the one who barters his life. Take your swords and trust Allah. With a compact force holding lances and spears we plunged into a sea of men…and all were made to get their fill of evil. We are men who see no blame in him who kills.”

Tabari VIII:153 “I ask the Merciful One for a pardon and for a sword that cuts wide and deep, creating a wound that shoots out foaming blood. I ask for a deadly thrust by a thirsty lance held by a zealous warrior that pierces right through the guts and liver, slitting the bowels. People shall say when they pass my grave, ‘Allah guided him, fine raider that he was, O warrior, he did well.’”

Tabari VIII:141 “We gave them some time until their herds had come back from pasture. After they had milked their camels and set them out to rest, we launched our raid. We killed some of 602them, drove away their camels, and set out to return. Allah sent clouds from out of the blue, and there was a torrent that no one could cross so we eluded the tribesmen with what we had taken. The battle cry of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah that night was: ‘Kill! Kill! Kill!’”

Tabari VIII:117 “The next morning Allah opened the township of Sa’b bin Mu’adh for them to conquer. There was no stronghold in Khaybar more abounding in food. After the Prophet had defeated some of their settlements and taken their property, they reached the last of the Khaybar neighborhoods to be conquered. Muhammad besieged the inhabitants between thirteen and nineteen nights.”

Tabari VIII:149 “Abdallah married a woman but couldn’t afford the nuptial gift. He came to the Prophet and asked for his assistance. ‘I have nothing with which to help you. Go out and spy on the Jusham tribe,’ he asked. He gave me an emaciated camel and a companion. We set out armed with arrows and swords. We approached the encampment and hid ourselves. I told my companion, ‘If you hear me shout Allahu Akbar and see me attack, you should shout Allah is Greatest and join the fighting.’”

Tabari VIII:150 “When their leader, Rifa’ah, came within range, I shot an arrow into his heart. I leaped at him and cut off his head. Then I rushed toward the encampment and shouted, ‘Allahu Akbar!’ The families who were gathered there shouted, ‘Save yourself.’ They gathered what property they could, including their wives and children. We drove away a great herd of camels and many sheep and goats and brought them to the Messenger. I brought him Rifa’ash’s head, which I carried with me. The Prophet gave me thirteen camels from that herd as booty, and I consummated my marriage.”

Tabari VIII:151 “The Prophet sent Ibn Abi out with a party of sixteen men. They were away for fifteen nights. Their share of booty was twelve camels for each man, each camel was valued in the accounting as being worth ten sheep. When the people they raided fled in various directions, they took four women, including one young woman who was very beautiful. She fell to Abu Qatadah. The Prophet asked Abu about her. Abu said, ‘She came from the spoils.’ The Messenger said, ‘Give her to me.’ So Abu gave her to him, and the Prophet gave her to Mahmiyah.”

603Ishaq:538 “While the eyes of others shed tears in the night of sorrows, I wasn’t sobbing. I felt the shepherd of Ursa and Pisces [making Muhammad an astrologist like the Islamic Ibrahim] between my ribs and bowels, piercing me with pain, afflicting me. Allah bless the martyrs lying dead at Mu’ta. Refresh their bones for they fought for Allah’s sake like good Muslims, stallions clad in mail. Their ranks were trapped and now they lay prostrate. The moon lost its radiance at their death. The sun was eclipsed and it became dark. We are a people protected by Allah to whom he has revealed His Book, excelling in glory and honor. Our enlightened minds cover up the ignorance of others. They would not embark on such a vicious enterprise. But Allah is pleased with our guidance and the victorious good fortune of our apostolic Prophet.”

Ishaq:289 “Our lances drank Amr’s blood, lighting the flame of war.”

Ishaq:288 “The Quraysh said, ‘Muhammad and his companions have violated the sacred month, shed blood, seized property, and taken men captive.’ The polytheists spread lying slander concerning him, saying, ‘Muhammad claims that he is following obedience to Allah, yet he is the first to violate the holy month and kill our companion in Rajab.’”

Quran 009.023 “O you who believe! Take not your fathers or your brothers for supporters and friends if they prefer the disbelief to the belief. And whoever of you takes them as friends and allies, then he is one of the disbelievers.”

Muslim:B19N4395 “I said: ‘Should I tell you a Hadith from your Traditions?’ He gave an account of the Conquest of Mecca, saying: ‘Muhammad advanced until he reached Mecca. He assigned Zubayr to his right flank and Khalid to his left. Then he dispatched Ubaida with the force that had no armor. They advanced to the interior. The Prophet was in the midst of a large 604contingent of his fighters. Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: ‘You see the ruffians and the lowly followers of the Quraysh?’ He indicated by striking one of his hands over the other that they should be killed. So we went off on his orders and if anyone wanted a person killed; he was slain. No one could offer any resistance. Then Abu Sufyan said: Messenger, the blood of the Quraysh has become very cheap. The Prophet said: ‘Kill all who stand in your way.’”

Tabari VIII:171 “When Muhammad encamped at Marr Zahran, Abbas said, ‘Woe to the Quraysh! If Allah’s Apostle surprises them in their territory and enters Mecca by force, it means the destruction of the Quraysh.’ Sufyan said, ‘I have never seen fires like those I see today! These are the fires of men gathered for war. Here is Muhammad, come against us with a force we cannot resist – 10,000 Muslims. If he gets hold of me, he will cut off my head.’”

Ishaq:570 “The Messenger turned to Abu Sufyan, who stood fast fighting that day. He had become an excellent Muslim after embracing Islam.”

Tabari IX:18 “While fighting the Banu Sa’d, Muslim horsemen seized Bijad. They herded his family around him like cattle, and they treated them roughly.”

Ishaq:558 “Allah said, I have sent an army. Every day they curse, battle and lampoon.”

Ishaq:560 “We expelled the people and smote them with our swords the day the good Prophet entered Mecca. We pierced their bodies with cuts and thrusts. And we shot them with our feathered shafts. Our ranks went in with lances leveled. We came to plunder as we said we would. We pledged our faith to the Apostle on this day of fear.”

Ishaq:561 “The Apostle sent out troops to the territories surrounding Mecca inviting men to Allah. Among those he sent was Khalid. He was ordered to go as a missionary. Khalid subdued the Jadimah and killed some of them.”

Tabari VIII:189 “Alas for you, Banu Jadimah! It is Khalid. By Allah, after you lay down your weapons, it will be nothing but leather manacles, and after the manacles nothing but the cutting off of heads.’ After they had laid down their arms, Khalid ordered that 605their hands should be tied behind their backs. Then he put them to the sword, smiting their necks, killing them.”

Ishaq:564 “One of the Banu Jadimah said, ‘God take reprisals on the Muslims for the evil they did to us. They stole our goods and divided them. Their spears came at us not once but twice. Their squadrons came upon us like a swarm of locusts. Were it not for the religion of Muhammad, their cavalry would never have attacked.”

Tabari IX:64 “Hatim said, ‘Adi, whatever you were going to do before Muhammad’s cavalry descended upon us, do it now, for I have seen the banners of his army.’ When the Islamic cavalry left the settlement they took Hatim’s daughter along with other captives. She was brought to the Messenger with slaves from Tayyi. He put her in an enclosure by the door of his mosque where the captives were detained.”

Ishaq:601 “The best men launch spears as if they were swords. They devote their lives to their Prophet. In hand-to-hand fighting and cavalry attacks they purify themselves with the blood of the infidels. They consider that an act of piety.”

Tabari VIII:87 “The Companions of the Prophet had set out not doubting that they would conquer, because of a vision Muhammad had seen. Therefore, when they saw the negotiations for peace, the retreat, and the obligations the Messenger agreed to, the Muslims felt so grieved about it that they were close to despair. Some were depressed to the point of death.”

606Ishaq:131 “Hamzah was carried away by a fury, as it was Allah’s will to honor him this way. [In Islam, it is an honor to be furious.] He went off quickly, not stopping to speak to anyone. Instead of circumambulating the Ka’aba, he was ready to attack Abu Jahl when he saw him. When he entered the mosque, [a reminder that the courtyard surrounding the Ka’aba was a pagan mosque before it was the center of Islamic worship. Further, the prostration prayer, Islam’s signature move, preceded the Quran.] he saw him sitting among the people. Hamzah raised his bow and gave Jahl a blow which split his head open in an ugly way. He said, ‘Do you insult him when I am a member of his religion? Hit me back if you can.’”

Tabari VI:104 & Ishaq:132 “(Hamza’s) Islam was complete. He followed the Prophet’s every command. The Quraysh recognized that by Hamzah’s acceptance of Islam Muhammad had been made strong. Hamzah would protect him.”

Tabari VI:103 “Umar bin al-Khattab was a staunch and mighty warrior. He accepted Islam, as had Hamzah before him. The Messenger’s Companions began to feel stronger.”

Ishaq:155 “Umar became a Muslim, he being a strong, stubborn man whose protégés none dare attack. The prophet’s companions were so fortified by him and Hamza that they got the upper hand on the Quraysh.”

Tabari VII:109 & Ishaq:372 “The Messenger called for his coat of armor and put it on. When they saw this they repented, ‘What an evil deed we’ve done. We have given him advice when inspiration comes to him!’ Muhammad replied, ‘It is not fitting for a prophet to put on his coat of mail and take it off before fighting.’ So he went out to Uhud at the head of a thousand of his Companions, having promised them victory.”

Ishaq:373 “The Apostle, wearing two coats of mail, drew up his troops for battle, about 700 men. There were 50 archers. Muhammad said, ‘Keep their cavalry away with your arrows.’ Then he asked, ‘Who will take my sword with its right and use it as it deserves to be used?’ Abu Dujana asked, ‘What is its right, Apostle?’ ‘That you should smite the enemy with it until it bends.’”

607Muslim:B20N4678 “Before the battle a Muslim asked, ‘Messenger, where shall I be if I am killed?’ He replied: ‘In Paradise.’ The man fought until he was killed.”

Ishaq:380 “We attacked them thrusting, slaying, chastising, and driving them before us with blows on every side. Had not women seized their war banner they would have been sold in the markets like chattel.”

Ishaq:379 “Then Allah sent down His help to the Muslims and fulfilled His promise. They slew the enemy with the sword until they cut them off from their camp and there was a rout.”

Ishaq:380 “The Muslims were put to the fight and the Meccans slew many of them. It was a day of trial and testing in which Allah honored several with martyrdom.”

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.’”

Muslim:B19N4413 “When the enemy got the upper hand at Uhud, the Messenger was left with only seven Ansar and two Emigrants. When the enemy advanced towards him and overwhelmed him, he said: ‘Whoso turns them away will be my companion in Paradise.’ An Ansar man came forward and fought until he was killed. The enemy advanced and overwhelmed them again so Muhammad repeated: ‘Whoever turns them away will attain Paradise.’ Another Ansar fought until he was slain. This state continued until all seven Ansari were killed, one after the other. The Prophet said to the Muslims: We have not done justice to them.”

Tabari VII:120 “When they overwhelmed the Prophet he said, ‘Who will sell his life for me?’”

Muslim:B19N4420 “The Prophet said: ‘Great is the wrath of Allah upon a people who have done this to the Messenger.’ At that time he was pointing to his front teeth. The Apostle said: ‘Great is the wrath of Allah upon a person who has been killed by me in Allah’s Cause.’”

608Bukhari:V4B52N70 “Some people drank alcohol in the morning of the day of the battle of Uhud and were martyred on the same day.”

Tabari VII:136 & Ishaq:383 “During Uhud, Quzman fought hard and killed seven to nine polytheists with his own hands, being brave, bold, and strong. But he got wounded so seriously, he had to be carried off by his comrades. They said, ‘Rejoice, you fought valiantly.’ He replied, ‘For what have I fought?’ When the pain of his wounds became too severe he decided to bring about his death more quickly.’”

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

Ishaq:383 “Perhaps Allah will grant us martyrdom.’ So they took their swords and sallied out until they mingled with the army. One was killed by the Meccans, the other by his fellow Muslims who failed to recognize him. One of the young men’s fathers confronted Muhammad and said, ‘You have robbed my son of his life by your deception and brought great sorrow to me.’”

Bukhari:V4B52N69 “For thirty days Allah’s Apostle invoked Allah to curse those who had killed his companions. He invoked evil upon the tribes who disobeyed Allah and His Apostle. There was revealed about those who were killed a Quranic Verse we used to recite, but it was cancelled later on. The Verse was: ‘Inform our people that we have met our Lord. He is pleased with us and He has made us pleased.’”

Tabari VII:120 “May Allah’s anger be intense against those who have bloodied the face of His Prophet.” “By Allah, I never thirsted to kill anyone as I thirst to kill a Meccan.”

Tabari VII:127 “The Messenger said, ‘Hamzah is being cleansed by the angels. He went into battle in a state of ritual impurity when he heard the call to arms. That is why the angels are cleansing him.’”

Ishaq:386 “Our dead are in Paradise; your dead are in Hell.”

Tabari VII:129 “If you had seen what Muhammad did at Badr you would have been terror struck for as long as you live.”

609Ishaq:385 “Hind [a Meccan woman who had lost her father, husband, son, and brother to Muhammad’s raiders] stopped to mutilate the Muslim dead, cutting off their ears and noses until she was able to make anklets and necklaces of them. Then she ripped open Hamzah’s body for his liver and chewed it, but she was not able to swallow it and spat it out. Then she climbed a high rock and screamed rajaz [Quranic-style] poetry at the top of her voice, taunting us. ‘We have paid you back for Badr. A war that follows a war is always violent. I could not bear the loss of Utba nor my brother, his uncle, or my first-born son. I have slaked my vengeance and fulfilled my vow.’”

Tabari VII:133 “When Muhammad saw Hamzah he said, ‘If Allah gives me victory over the Quraysh at any time, I shall mutilate thirty of their men!’ When the Muslims saw the rage of the Prophet they said, ‘By Allah, if we are victorious over them, we shall mutilate them in a way which no Arab has ever mutilated anybody.”

Ishaq:389 “When the Apostle came home he handed his sword to his daughter Fatima, saying, ‘Wash the blood from this, daughter, for by Allah it has served me well today.’”

Tabari VII:139 & Ishaq:389 “The battle was fought on the Sabbath. On the following day, Sunday, 16 Shawwal (March 24, 625) the Messenger of Allah’s crier called out to the people to go in pursuit of the enemy. His only purpose was to lower the morale of the Quraysh; by going in pursuit of them, he wanted to give the impression that his strength was unimpaired, and that the Muslim casualties had not weakened their ability to engage in fighting.”

Ishaq:391 “The day of Uhud was a day of trial, calamity, and heart-searching on which Allah tested the believers. He put the hypocrites [peaceful Muslims] on trial, those who professed faith with their tongue and hid unbelief. And it was a day in which Allah honored with martyrdom those whom He willed.”

Quran 003.124 “Remember you said to the faithful: ‘When you said to the believers, ‘Is it not enough for you that your Lord reinforces you with three thousands of the angels sent down?’ Yea, if you remain firm, and act aright, even if the enemy should rush here on you in hot haste, your Lord would help you with five thousand havoc-making angels for a terrific onslaught.”

610Quran 003.126 “And not made it al-Lahu except good news for you and to reassure you hearts with it. And no victory except from near al-Lahi, the all-mighty, the all-wise. Victory comes only from Allah that He might cut off a fringe of the unbelievers, exposing them to infamy. They should then be turned back overwhelmed so that they retire frustrated.”

Ishaq:392 “Allah helped you at Badr when you were contemptible, so fear Allah. Fear Me, for that is gratitude for My kindness. Is it not enough that your Lord reinforced you with three thousand angels? Nay, if you are steadfast against My enemies, and obey My commands, fearing Me, I will send five thousand angels clearly marked. Allah did this as good news for you that your hearts might be at rest. The armies of My angels are good for you because I know your weakness. Victory comes only from Me because of My sovereignty and power for the reason that power and authority belong to Me, not to any one of my creatures.”

Ishaq:394 “Allah said, ‘I let them get the better of you to test you. So fear Me and obey Me. If you had believed in what My Prophet brought from Me you would not have received a shock from the Meccan army. But We cause days like this so that Allah may know those who believe and may choose martyrs from among you. Allah must distinguish between believers and hypocrites so that He can honor the faithful with martyrdom.”

Ishaq:394 “Did you think that you would enter Paradise and receive My reward before I tested you so that I might know who is loyal? You used to wish for martyrdom before you met the enemy. You wished for death before you met it. Now that you have seen with your own eyes the death of swords…will you go back on your religion, Allah’s Book, and His Prophet as disbelievers, abandoning the fight with your enemy? He who turns back [from fighting, enslaving, and killing] in his religion will not harm Allah. He will not diminish His glory, kingdom, sovereignty and power’”

611Quran 003.141 “So that may purify al-Lahu those who believe and destroy the disbelievers. Did you think that you would enter Paradise while Allah does not know those of you who really fights hard and remains steadfast? You wished for death before you met it (in the field of battle). Now you have seen it with your own eyes.”

Quran 003.152 “And with certainty, al-Lahu fulfilled His promise to you when you were killing them with His permission until you lost courage and you fell into a dispute concerning the order, and you disobeyed the command after what He had shown that you love it. Among you are those who desire the world and among you are those who desire the hereafter. So then, He diverted you from them so that He may test you.”

Ishaq:396 “I promise to give you victory over your enemy. You routed them with the sword, killing them by My permission. Then you deserted Me and disobeyed My order and disputed about the order of My Prophet. He told the archers to stay put. But after I showed you what you were desiring, the Meccan wives and property, you desired the spoil and abandoned the order to fight.”

Tabari VIII:116 “After his return from Hudaybiyah, Allah’s Messenger marched against Khaybar. He halted with his army in a valley between the people of Khaybar and the Ghatafan tribe to prevent the latter from assisting the Jews.”

Ishaq:515 “The Prophet gave orders concerning Kinanah [the leader of a Jewish farming community Muhammad had exiled from Yathrib] to Zubayr, saying, ‘Torture him until you root out and extract what he has. So Zubayr kindled a fire on Kinanah’s chest, twirling it with his stick until Kinanah was near death. Then the Messenger gave him to Maslamah, who beheaded him.”

Tabari VIII:76 “Urwah went to the Prophet. ‘Muhammad, tell me, if you exterminate your tribesmen, have you ever heard of any of the Arabs who has destroyed his own race before you?’”

Ishaq:502 “Muhammad, you have collected a mixed group of people and brought them to your kin to destroy them. By Allah, I see both prominent people and rabble who are likely to flee, deserting you tomorrow. Now Abu Bakr who was standing behind the Apostle, said, ‘Go suck the clitoris of al-Lat!’”

612Ishaq:503 “When Muhammad received a [false] report that Uthman had been killed, he said, ‘We will not leave until we fight it out with them.’ He summoned us to swear allegiance. The Prophet’s crier announced: People, an oath of allegiance! The Holy Spirit has descended!’”

Tabari VIII:83 “On the day of Hudaybiyah we swore allegiance to the Messenger while Umar was holding his hand under the acacia tree. It was a pledge unto death.”

Ishaq:503 “Allah saw what was in their hearts so he rewarded them with victory and with as much spoil as they could take. Allah promised that they would soon capture a great deal of booty.”

Ishaq:505 “Umar jumped up, walking beside Jandal, and saying, ‘Be patient. They are only pagans, and the blood of any of them is no more than the blood of a dog!’ Umar held the hilt of his sword close to him. He said, ‘I hoped he would take the sword and kill his father with it.’ But Jandal was too attached to his father to kill him.”

Ishaq:508 & Tabari VIII:91 “Abu Jandal, Suhayl’s son, escaped and joined Abu Basir. Nearly seventy Muslim men gathered around them and they harassed the Quraysh. Whenever they heard of a Meccan caravan setting out for Syria, they intercepted it, and killed everyone they could get a hold of. They tore every caravan to pieces and took the goods.”

Tabari VIII:93 “According to Waqidi, in this month, the Messenger sent out Ukkashah with forty men to raid Ghamr. He traveled quickly, but the enemy became aware and fled. He sent out scouts and they captured a spy who guided them to some of their cattle. They took two hundred head back to Medina.”

Tabari VIII:93 “In this year a raiding party led by Zayd went to Jamum. He captured a Muzaynah woman named Halimah. She guided them to an encampment of the Banu Sulaym where they captured cattle, sheep, and prisoners. Among the captives was Halimah’s husband. When Zayd brought back what he had taken, the Prophet granted the woman and her husband their freedom.”

Tabari VIII:94 “In this year a raiding party led by Zayd went to al-Is. During it, Abu As’b’s property was taken.”

613Tabari VIII:94 “A fifteen-man raiding party led by Zayd went to Taraf against the Banu Thalabah. The Bedouins fled, fearing that Allah’s Messenger had set out against them. Zayd took twenty camels from their herds. He was away four nights.”

Tabari VIII:96 “Umm’s story is as follows. Allah’s Messenger sent Zayd to Wadi Qura, where he encountered the Banu Fazarah. Some of his Companions were killed, and Zayd was carried away wounded. Ward was slain by the Banu Badr. When Zayd returned, he vowed that no washing should touch his head until he had raided the Fazarah. After he recovered, Muhammad sent him with an army against the Fazarah settlement. He met them in Qura and inflicted casualties on them and took Umm Qirfah prisoner. He also took one of Umm’s daughters and Mas’adah prisoner.”

Tabari VIII:97 “The Messenger appointed Abu Bakr as our commander, and we raided the Banu Fazarah. When we came near the watering place, Bakr ordered us to rest. After we prayed the dawn prayer, Bakr ordered us to launch the raid against them. We went down to the watering hole and there we killed some people. I saw women and children among them, who had almost outstripped us; so I sent an arrow between them and the mountain. When they saw the arrow they stopped, and I led them back to Abu Bakr. Among them was a woman of the Banu Fazarah. She was wearing a worn-out piece of leather. With her was her daughter, among the fairest of the Arabs. Abu Bakr gave me her daughter as booty.”

Murder

Tabari IX:69 “Killing him is a small matter to us.”

Tabari VIII:141 “The battle cry of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah that night was: ‘Kill! Kill! Kill!’”

Bukhari:V5B59N512 “The Prophet offered the Prayer of Fear when it was still dark and said, ‘Allahu-Akbar! Khaybar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a hostile nation to fight, then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned.’ The 614inhabitants came out running. The Prophet had their men killed, their children and women taken as captives.”

Ishaq:489 “Do the bastards think that we are not their equal in fighting? We are men who believe there is no shame in killing. We don’t turn from piercing lances. We smite heads with blows that quash the zeal of the unyielding. We’re heroes, protecting our war banner. We are a noble force, as fierce as wolves. We preserve our honor and protect our property by smashing heads.”

Quran 002.191 “Kill them wherever you find them and drive them out from wherever they have turned you out; for the trials, temptations, and sedition to disbelief is worse than the slaughter. And not fight them near al-Masjidi al-Harami until they fight you in it. If they fight you, kill them. Such reward of the infidels.”

Bukhari:V4B52N270 “Allah’s Messenger said, ‘Who is ready to kill Ashraf? He has said injurious things about Allah and His Apostle.’ Maslama got up saying, ‘Would you like me to kill him?’ The Prophet said, ‘Yes.’ Maslama said, ‘Then allow me to lie so that I will be able to deceive him.’ Muhammad said, ‘You may do so.’”

Ishaq:368 “Ka’b’s body was left prostrate. After his fall, all of the Nadir Jews were brought low. Sword in hand we cut him down. By Muhammad’s order we were sent secretly by night. Brother killing brother. We lured him to his death with guile. Bold as lions, we went into his home. We made him taste death with our deadly swords. We sought victory for the religion of the Prophet.”

Tabari VII:97 & Ishaq:368 “We carried Ka’b’s head and brought it to Muhammad during the night. We saluted him as he stood praying and told him that we had slain Allah’s enemy. When he came out to us we cast Ashraf’s head before his feet. The Prophet praised Allah that the poet had been assassinated and 615complimented us on the good work we had done in Allah’s Cause. Then he spat upon our comrade’s wounds and we returned to our families. Our attack upon Allah’s enemy cast terror among the Jews, and there was no Jew in Medina who did not fear for his life.’”

Tabari VII:97 “The next morning, the Jews were in a state of fear on account of our attack upon the enemy of Allah. After the assassination, the Prophet declared, ‘Kill every Jew.’”

Ishaq:369 “Thereupon Mas’ud leapt upon Sunayna, one of the Jewish merchants with whom his family had social and commercial relations and killed him. The Muslim’s brother complained, saying, ‘Why did you kill him? You have much fat in you belly from his charity.’ Mas’ud answered, ‘By Allah, had Muhammad ordered me to murder you, my brother, I would have cut off your head.’ Wherein the brother said, ‘Any religion that can bring you to this is indeed wonderful!’ And he accepted Islam.”

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

Ishaq:676 “‘You obey a stranger who encourages you to murder for booty. You are greedy men. Is there no honor among you?’ Upon hearing those lines Muhammad said, ‘Will no one rid me of this woman?’ Umayr, a zealous Muslim, decided to execute the Prophet’s wishes. That very night he crept into the writer’s home while she lay sleeping surrounded by her young children. There was one at her breast. Umayr removed the suckling babe and then plunged his sword into the poet. The next morning in the mosque, Muhammad, who was aware of the assassination, said, ‘You have helped Allah and His Apostle.’ Umayr said, ‘She had five sons; should I feel guilty?’ ‘No,’ the Prophet answered. ‘Killing her was as meaningless as two goats butting heads.’”

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. Certainly 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.’”

Tabari VIII:178 & Ishaq:550 “Muhammad ordered that certain men should be assassinated even if they were found behind the curtains of the Ka’aba. Among them was Abdallah bin Sa’d. 616The reason that Allah’s Messenger ordered that he should be slain was because he had become a Muslim and used to write down Qur’an Revelation. Then he apostatized, reverted to being a polytheist, and returned to Mecca.”

Tabari VIII:179 “Abdallah bin Sa’d fled to Uthman, his brother, who after hiding him, finally surrendered him to the Prophet. Uthman asked for clemency. Muhammad did not respond, remaining silent for a long time. Muhammad said, ‘By Allah, I kept silent so that one of you might go up to him and cut off his head!’ One of the Ansar said, ‘Why didn’t you give me a sign?’ Allah’s Apostle replied, ‘A prophet does not kill by pointing.’”

Tabari VIII:179 & Ishaq:550 “Among those who Muhammad ordered killed was Abdallah bin Khatal. The Messenger ordered him to be slain because while he was a Muslim, Muhammad had sent him to collect the zakat tax with an Ansar and a slave. The girls used to sing a satire about Muhammad so the Prophet ordered that they should be killed along with Abdullah. Abdallah was killed by Sa’id and Abu Barzah. The two shared in his blood. One of the singing girls was killed quickly but the other fled. So Umar caused his horse to trample the one who fled at Abtah, killing her.”

Ishaq:551 “Another victim was Huwayrith. He used to insult Muhammad in Mecca. Huwayrith was put to death by Ali.”

Ishaq:551 “Miqyas. The Messenger ordered his assassination only because he had killed an Ansar who had killed his brother by mistake and then became a renegade by rejecting Islam.”

Tabari VIII:180 “Also among those eliminated were Ikrimah bin Abu Jahl and Sarah, a slave of one of Abd Muttalib’s sons. She taunted Muhammad while he was in Mecca.”

Tabari VIII:181 “According to Waqidi, the Messenger ordered that six men and four women should be assassinated. One of these women was Hind, who swore allegiance and became a Muslim.”

Ishaq:597 “When the Apostle returned to Medina after his raid on Ta’if, word spread that he had killed some of the men who had satirized and insulted him. The poets who were left spread in all directions.”

617Tabari IX:76 “Malik has reported to me that you were the first from Himyar to embrace Islam and that you have killed infidels, so rejoice at your good fortune.”

Tabari IX:121 “When it was feasible for me, I struck him with my sword and killed him. Then I departed, leaving his women to throw themselves at him. When I returned to the Prophet, he asked, ‘Is your mission accomplished?’ ‘Yes. I have killed him.’”

Ishaq:308 & Tabari VII:65 “When the Apostle was in Safra, Nadr was assassinated. When Muhammad reached Irq al-Zabyah he killed Uqbah. When the Holy Prophet ordered him to be killed, Uqbah said, ‘Who will look after my children, Muhammad?’ ‘Hellfire,’ the Apostle replied, and he was killed.”

Tabari VII:85 “After Muhammad killed many Quraysh polytheists at Badr, the Jews were envious and behaved badly toward him, saying, ‘Muhammad has not met anyone who is good at fighting. Had he met us, he would have had a real battle.’”

Tabari VII:99 “In this year, it is said, the killing of Abu Rafi the Jew took place. The reason for his being killed was that he used to take the part of Ka’b bin Ashraf against the Messenger. The Prophet is said to have sent Abd Allah bin Atik against him.”

Tabari VII:100 “Every time I opened a door, I shut it behind me from the inside, saying to myself, ‘If they become aware, they will not have time to stop me from killing him.’ When I reached Rafi he was in a dark room with his family. As I did not know where he was in the room, I said, ‘O Abu Rafi.’ When he replied, I proceeded toward the voice and gave him a blow with my sword. He shouted and I came back, pretending to be a helper. I said, ‘O Abu,’ changing the tone of my voice. He asked me, ‘I don’t know who came to strike me with his sword.’ Then I drove my sword into his belly and pushed it forcibly till it touched the bone. I hit him again and covered him with wounds, but I could not kill him, so I thrust the point of my sword into his stomach until it came out through his back. At that, I knew that I had killed him. I came out, filled with puzzlement, and went towards a ladder in order to get down but I fell into a moonlit night and sprained my foot. I bound it with my turban and moved on. I came to my companions and said, ‘By Allah, I will not leave till I hear the wailing of their women.’ So, I did not move till I heard them crying for the Jewish merchant. I said, 618‘Deliverance! Allah has killed Abu Rafi.’ I got up, feeling no ailment, and proceeded till we came upon the Prophet and informed him.”

Tabari VII:101 “Abu Rafi was one of those who had mustered ahzab against the Prophet. The Aws had killed Ka’b Ashraf on account of his enmity to the Messenger and his inciting people against him, so the Khazraj asked the Prophet for permission to kill Sallam Huqayq, who was in Khaybar. He granted this.”

Ishaq:482 “One of the favors which Allah conferred upon his Prophet was that these two tribes of the Ansar, the Aws and the Khazraj, used to vie with one another like stallions to carry out the will of Muhammad. The Aws did not do anything which benefited him without the Khazraj saying, ‘By Allah they will not gain superiority over us in Islam in the eyes of the Messenger by doing this.’ And they would not cease until they had done something similar. Thus, when the Aws killed Ka’b Ashraf on account of his hostility to Muhammad, the Khazraj conferred to find a man comparable to Ka’b in hostility and called to mind Sallam Huqayq in Khaybar. They asked the Prophet for permission to kill him, and it was granted.”

Tabari VII:101 & Ishaq:483 “Sallam’s wife came out and we told her that we were Arabs in search of supplies. When we entered, we bolted the door on her so she gave a shout to warn him of our presence. We rushed upon him with our swords as he lay in his bed. He took his pillow and tried to fend us off. Abd Allah thrust his sword into his stomach and transfixed him while he was shouting, ‘Enough! Enough!’ At once we went out but Abd Allah had bad eyesight, and he fell off the stairway, bruising his leg or arm. ‘How shall we know that the enemy of Allah is dead?’ one of us asked. ‘I will go and look,’ one replied. He set off and mingled with the people. He said, ‘I found him with the men of the Jews, and with his wife, who had a lamp in her hand, peering into his face. She said, ‘By the God of the Jews, he is dead.’ I never heard any more pleasing words than these. We went to the Messenger of Allah and told him that we had killed the enemy of Allah. We disagreed in his presence about the killing of Sallam, each of us claiming to have done it. The Prophet said, ‘Bring me your swords.’ We did and he looked at them. He said, ‘This sword of Abd Allah killed him. I can see the marks left by bones on it.’”

619Ishaq:483 “Allah, what a fine band you have, one willing to kill Sallam and Ashraf! We went with sharp swords, like fighting lions. We came upon their homes and made them drink death with our swift-slaying swords. Looking for the victory of our Prophet’s religion, we ignored every risk.”

Tabari VII:112 & Ishaq:372 “When he became aware of the presence of the Messenger and the Muslims he rose and threw dust in their faces, saying, ‘Even if you are a prophet, I will not allow you into my garden!’ I was told that he took a handful of dirt and said, ‘If only I knew that I would not hit anyone else, Muhammad, I would throw it in your face.’ The people rushed up to kill him, but the Prophet said, ‘Do not do so, for this man is blind of sight and blind of heart.’ But Sa’d rushed in before the Messenger had forbidden this and hit him on the head with his bow and split the Jew’s head open.”

Ishaq:403 “Allah killed twenty-two polytheists at Uhud.”

Tabari VII:147 “Amr was sent by Muhammad to kill Abu Sufyan. The Prophet said, ‘Go to Abu Sufyan and kill him.’ …When I entered Mecca I had a dagger ready to slay anybody who laid hold of me. My Ansar companion asked, ‘Should we start by circumambulating the Ka’aba seven times and praying two rak’ahs?’ I said, ‘I know the Meccans better than you do.’ But he kept pestering me until in the end we went to the Ka’aba, circumambulated it seven times, and prayed.”

Tabari VII:148 “One of the Meccans recognized me and shouted, ‘That is Amr!’ They rushed after us, saying, ‘By Allah, Amr has not come here for any good purpose! He has come for some evil reason.’ Amr had been a cutthroat and a desperado before accepting Islam. The Meccans set out in pursuit so I said, ‘Let’s get out of here! This is what I was afraid of! We will never reach Abu Sufyan now, so save your own skin.’ We left at full speed, took to the hills, hiding in a cave. In this way we gave them the slip.”

Tabari VII:149 “On the way I went into a cave with my bow and arrows. While I was in it a one-eyed man from the Banu Bakr came in driving some sheep. He said, ‘Who’s there?’ I said [lied], ‘I’m a Banu Bakr.’ ‘So am I.’ Then he laid down next to me, and raised his voice in song: ‘I will not be a Muslim and will not believe in the faith of the Muslims.’ I said, ‘You will soon see!’ Before long 620the Bedouin went to sleep and started snoring. So I killed him in the most dreadful way that anybody has ever killed. I leant over him, struck the end of my bow into his good eye, and thrust it down until it came out the back of his neck. After that I rushed out like a wild beast and took flight. I came to the village of Naqi and recognized two Meccan spies. I called for them to surrender. They said no so I shot and arrow and killed one, and then I tied the other up and took him to Muhammad.”

Tabari VII:150 “I had tied my prisoner’s thumbs together with my bowstring. The Messenger of Allah looked at him and laughed so that his back teeth could be seen. Then he questioned me and I told him what had happened. ‘Well done!’ he said, and prayed for me to be blessed.”

Ishaq:434 “The Apostle was afraid to send his people to Abu Bara’s tribe for fear they would kill them. But Chief Abu Bara gave Muhammad a surety so the he sent Mundhir (The-Quick-to-Seek-Death) with forty to seventy riders. After halting at Bi’r Ma’unah, they sent Haram to Amir Tufayl with a letter from Muhammad. When Haram arrived, Amir killed him. Then he set out and took the Muslims by surprise, surrounding them while they were encamped. On seeing them, the Muslims snatched up their swords and fought until they were all killed except Ka’b. The enemy left him at the point of death.”

Tabari VIII:22 “Hassan was with the women and children. A Jew passed by and began to walk around his settlement. There was no one to protect them while the Apostle and his Companions were at the Meccans’ throats. So I said: ‘Hassan, this Jew is walking around. I fear he will point out our weakness while the Muslims are too busy to attend to us. So go down to him and kill him.”

Ishaq:464 “The Jews were made to come down, and Allah’s Messenger imprisoned them. Then the Prophet went out into the marketplace of Medina (it is still its marketplace today), and he had trenches dug in it. He sent for the Jewish men and had them beheaded in those trenches. They were brought out to him in batches. They numbered 800 to 900 boys and men.”

Tabari VIII:40 “The Messenger of God commanded that furrows should be dug in the ground for the Qurayza. Then he sat 621down. Ali and Zubayr began cutting off their heads in his presence.”

Tabari VIII:38 “The Messenger of Allah commanded that all of the Jewish men and boys who had reached puberty should be beheaded. Then the Prophet divided the wealth, wives, and children of the Banu Qurayza Jews among the Muslims.”

Tabari VIII:90 “Abu Basir went out with companions. When they stopped to rest he asked them, ‘Is this sword of yours sharp?’ ‘Yes,’ he replied. ‘May I look at it?’ Basir asked. ‘If you wish.’ Basir unsheathed the sword, attacked the man, and killed him. The other Muslim ran back to the Messenger, saying, ‘Your Companion has killed my friend.’ While the man was still there, Abu Basir appeared girded with the sword. He halted before Muhammad and said, ‘Messenger, your obligation has been discharged.’ The Prophet said, ‘Woe to his mother, the kindler of war’s fire.’”

Torture

Tabari VIII:122 & Ishaq:515 “The Prophet gave orders concerning Kinanah to Zubayr, saying, ‘Torture him until you root out and extract what he has. So Zubayr kindled a fire on Kinanah’s chest, twirling it with his stick until Kinanah was near death. Then the Messenger gave him to Maslamah, who beheaded him.”

622Bukhari:V4B54N487 “The Prophet said, ‘The Hell Fire is 69 times hotter than ordinary worldly fires.’ So someone said, ‘Allah’s Apostle, wouldn’t this ordinary fire have been sufficient to torture the unbelievers?’”

Bukhari:V4B52N260 “Ali burnt some 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 with Allah’s Punishment.” No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, “If a Muslim discards his Islamic religion, kill him.”’”

Quran 048.027 “If the Muslims had not been there, We would have punished the unbelievers with a grievous torture.”

Ishaq:550 “The Muslims met them with their swords. They cut through many arms and skulls. Only confused cries and groans could be heard over our roars and snarling.”

Quran 005.037 “The disbelievers will wish that they can come out of the Fire, but they will never come out of it. And for them an everlasting punishment.”

Tabari IX:6 “The chief sheep tender sent out spies to obtain intelligence. But they came back with their joints dislocated. When he asked what had happened, they said, ‘We saw white men on black horses. Before we could resist, we were struck as you see us.”

Ishaq:595 “The Apostle said, ‘Get him away from me and cut off his tongue.’”

Ishaq:312 “Umar said to the Apostle, ‘Let me pull out Suhayl’s two front teeth. That way his tongue will stick out and he will never be able to speak against you again.’”

Ishaq:316 “Following Badr, Muhammad sent raiders with orders to capture some of the Meccans and burn them alive. But on the following day he sent word to us, ‘I told you to burn these men if you got hold of them. But I decided that none has the right to punish by fire save Allah. So if you capture them, kill them.’”

623Quran 008.012 “When your Lord inspired the angels, ‘I am with you, so keep firm those who believed. I will cast al-ru’ba | terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved. So strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes.”

Tabari VII:133 & Ishaq:387 “When Muhammad saw Hamzah he said, ‘If Allah gives me victory over the Quraysh, I shall mutilate thirty of their men!’ When the Muslims saw the rage of the Prophet they said, ‘By Allah, if we are victorious over them, we shall mutilate them in a way which no Arab has ever mutilated anybody.”

Tabari VIII:96 “Zyad bin Harithah ordered Qays to kill Umm, and he killed her cruelly. He tied each of her legs with a rope and tied the ropes to two camels, and they split her in two. Then they brought Umm’s daughter and Abdallah to the Messenger. Umm’s daughter belonged to Salamah who had captured her. Muhammad asked Salamah for her, and Salamah gave her to him.”

Thievery & Slavery

Quran 008.001 “They ask you about the spoils of war. Say, ‘The spoils of war for Lillahi and the Rasuli. So fear al-Laha and adjust everything between you to obey al-Laha and His Messenger if you are believers.’”

624Quran 048.019 “And much spoils and plunder that they will take and is al-Lahu all-mighty, wise? Quran 048.020 Al-Lahu has promised you abundant spoils and plunder that you will take it. And He has hastened for you this and has withheld hands of the people from you that it may be a sign and proof for the believers and He may guide you straight path.”

Quran 059.006 “And what is restored, to al-Lahu to His Rasuli from them because you did not make an expedition for it of horses and not camels, but al-Laha gives power to His Rasulahu over whom he wants. And al-Lahu on every thing All-Powerful. Whatever booty Allah has given to His Messenger and taken away from the [Jewish] people of the townships, belongs to Allah and to His Messenger... So take what the Messenger assigns to you, and deny yourselves that which he withholds from you.”

Ishaq:327 “Allah made booty lawful and good. He used it to incite the Muslims to unity of purpose. So enjoy what you have captured.”

Tabari VII:64 & Ishaq:307 “The Messenger of Allah gave orders concerning the contents of the camp which the people had collected, and it was all brought together. Among the Muslims, however, there was a difference of opinion concerning it. Those who had collected it said, ‘It is ours. Muhammad promised every man that he could keep the booty he took.’ Those who were fighting said, ‘If it had not been for us, you would not have taken it. We distracted the enemy from you so that you could take what you took.’ Those who were guarding the Prophet for fear the enemy would attack him said, ‘By Allah, you have no better right to it than we have. We wanted to kill the enemy when Allah gave us the opportunity and made them turn their backs, and we wanted to take property when there was no one to protect it; but we were afraid that they might attack the Prophet. We protected him so you have no better right to it than we have.’”

Bukhari:V5B59N360 “The total number of Muslim fighters from Mecca who fought at Badr and were given a share of the booty, were 81. When their shares were distributed, their number was 101. But Allah knows it better.”

Ishaq:307 “The ‘Spoils of War’ Surah came down from Allah to His Prophet concerning the distribution of the booty when the 625Muslims showed their evil nature. Allah took it out of their hands and gave it to the Apostle.” He divided it equally among the Muslims. In this matter there can be seen fear of Allah, obedience to his Messenger, and the settling of differences.”

Tabari VII:65 “Allah’s Messenger came back to Medina, bringing with him the booty which had been taken from the polytheists... There were forty-four captives in the Messenger of Allah’s possession. There was a similar number of dead.”

Tabari VIII:116 & Ishaq:511 “So Muhammad began seizing their herds and their property bit by bit. He conquered home by home. The Messenger took some of its people captive, including Safiyah and her two cousins. The Prophet chose Safiyah for himself.”

Ishaq:511 “When Dihyah protested, wanting to keep Safiyah, the Apostle traded for Safiyah by giving Dihyah her two cousins. The women of Khaybar were distributed among the Muslims.”

Bukhari V4B52N46 “I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, ‘Allah guarantees that He will admit the Muslim fighter into Paradise if he is killed, otherwise He will return him to his home safely with rewards and booty.’”

Tabari VIII:117 “The Banu Sahm of Aslam came to the Messenger and complained, ‘Muhammad, we have been hurt by drought and possess nothing.’ Although they had fought for the Prophet they found he had nothing to give them. The Apostle said, ‘O Allah, You know their condition, I have no strength and nothing 626to give them. So conquer for them the wealthiest of the Khaybar homes, the ones with the most food and fat meat.’”

Ishaq:515 “Allah’s Apostle besieged the final community of Khaybar until they could hold out no longer. Finally, when they were certain that they would perish, they asked Muhammad to banish them and spare their lives, which he did. The Prophet took possession of all their property.”

Tabari VIII:128 “Khaybar was divided among the people who had been at Hudaybiyah.”

Ishaq:521 “Khaybar was apportioned among the men of Hudaybiyah without regard to whether they were present at Khaybar or not. The spoil was divided into 1,800 shares.”

Ishaq:521 “When the spoil of Khaybar was apportioned, the settlements of Shaqq and Nata were given to the Muslims while Katiba was divided into five sections: Allah’s fifth [which Muhammad was custodian]; the Prophet’s fifth; the share to the kindred [Muhammad’s kin]; maintenance of the Prophet’s wives [now there’s an honest report]; and payment to the men who acted as intermediaries in the peace negotiation with Fadak.”

Ishaq:522 “Then the Apostle distributed the booty between his relatives, his wives, and to other men and women. He gave his daughter Fatima 200 shares, Ali 100, Usama 250, Aisha 200, Bakr 100, Aqil ibn Abu Talib 140…. In the name of Allah, Ar-Rahman, Ar-Rahim—this is a memorandum of what Muhammad the Apostle of Allah gave his wives from the dates and wheat of Khaybar: 180 loads.”

Bukhari:V5B59N537 “On the day of Khaybar, Allah’s Apostle divided the war booty with the ratio of two shares for the horse and one-share for the foot soldier.”

Bukhari:V5B59N541 “When we conquered Khaybar, we gained neither gold nor silver as booty, but we gained cows, camels, goods and gardens.”

Tabari VIII:12 “‘Rejoice, Allah has promised us victory after tribulation.’ This increased the Muslims faith and submission.” “When cities were conquered Muslims used to say, ‘Conquer for yourselves whatever seems good to you because all treasures were given to Muhammad.”

627Quran 009.103 “Take alms out of their property in order to cleanse and purify them.”

Tabari IX:3 “Since the Hawazin and Thaqif had marched with their women, children, and flocks, Allah granted them as booty to His Messenger, who divided the spoils among those Quraysh who had recently embraced Islam.”

Tabari IX:13 “Abu Talhah alone took the spoils of twenty men whom he had killed.”

Ishaq:571 “I went up to a man and struck off his hand. He fell and I killed him while he was down. But I was too occupied with fighting to pay any more attention to him. So one of the Meccan Muslims passed by and stripped him. Then when the fighting was over and we had finished with the enemy, the Apostle said that anyone who had killed a foe could have his spoil. I told the Apostle that I had killed a man who was worth stripping but had been too busy killing others at the time to notice who had spoiled him. Abu Bakr said, “To Allah’s lions who fight for His religion go the spoils that come from their prey. Return the booty to the man who killed him.’ The Apostle confirmed Abu Bakr’s words. So I was given the property of the man whom I had killed. I sold it and bought a small palm grove with the money. It was the first property I ever owned.”

Ishaq:592 “The Apostle held a large number of captives. There were 6,000 women and children prisoners. He had captured so many sheep and camels they could not be counted.”

Ishaq:594 “‘Muhammad, divide the spoil and booty of camels and cattle.’ They forced the Prophet up against a tree, and his robe was torn from him. Muhammad cried, ‘Give me back my robe. If there had been more sheep I would have given you some.”

Tabari IX:31 “Men, I do not have anything of your booty. Just filth. And that filth is what is being given to you.”

Bukhari:V4B53N373 “Allah’s Apostle got property and war prisoners and gave them to some people to the exclusion of others. The latter seemed to be displeased by that. The Prophet said, ‘I give to some people, lest they should deviate from Islam.’”

Bukhari:V4B53N374 “The Prophet said, ‘I give to the Quraysh so that they will desire Islam, for they are nearer to their life of Ignorance and it is not strong in their hearts.’”

628Tabari IX:36 & Ishaq:596 “‘Prophet, this group of Ansar have a grudge against you for what you did with the booty and how you divided it among you own people.’ ‘Ansar, what is this talk I hear from you? What is the grudge you harbor against me? Do you think ill of me? Did I not come to you when you were erring and needy, and then made rich by Allah?”

Ishaq:596 “Do you hold a grudge against me and are you mentally disturbed because of the worldly things by which I conciliate a people and win them over so that they will embrace Islam and become Muslims?”

Tabari IX:38 “In this year, the Messenger sent Amr to collect the zakat tax from Jayfar and Amr, the clans of Julanda and Azd... He collected the jizyah from the Zoroastrians.”

Tabari IX:75 “He who holds fast to his religion, Judaism or Christianity, is not to be tempted from it. It is incumbent on them to pay the jizyah protection tax. For every adult, male or female, free or slave, one full denarius [four grams of gold], or its value in al-ma’afir [fine cloth]. He who pays that to the Messenger has the protection of Allah and His Messenger, and he who holds back from it is the enemy of Allah and His Messenger.”

Tabari IX:76 “The Messenger sent Zur’ah and his Companions to you. ‘I commend them to you. Collect the zakat and jizyah from your districts and hand the money over to my messengers.’ The Prophet is the master of your rich and poor.”

Ishaq:564 “The Muslims stole our goods and divided them. Their spears pierced us not once but twice. Their squadrons came at us like a swarm of locusts. Were it not for the religion of Muhammad’s people, their cavalry would never have attacked us.”

Bukhari:V9B84N59 “When the Prophet died, Arabs reverted to disbelief. Umar asked Bakr, ‘Should we fight these people? Remember, Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been ordered to fight everyone until they say: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,”’ Bakr replied, ‘By Allah! I will fight whoever differentiates between Salat and Zakat, as the Zakat must be taken from property according to Allah’s Orders. If they refuse to pay me, I will fight them.’ Umar said, ‘I noticed that Allah opened Bakr’s chest towards the decision to fight.’”

629Tabari VII:26 “In this year Muhammad ordered people to pay the zakat tax.”

Ishaq:309 “‘Bind Abu Aziz tight for his mother is rich and she may ransom him for a great deal of money.’”

Tabari VII:71 “Among the captives was Abu Wada. Muhammad said, ‘He has a son who is a shrewd merchant with much money.’ The son slipped away at night, went to Medina, ransomed his father for 4,000 dirhams [16,000 grams of gold].”

Ishaq:312 “The Prophet said, ‘Abbas, you must ransom yourself, your two nephews, Aqil and Nawfal, and your confederate, Utbah, for you are a wealthy man.’ ‘Muhammad,’ Abbas said, ‘I was a Muslim, but the people compelled me to fight against my will.’ ‘Allah knows best concerning your Islam,’ Muhammad said. ‘If what you say is true, Allah will reward you for it. As for your outward appearance, you have been against us, so pay to ransom yourself.’ The Messenger had previously taken twenty ounces of gold from him following the battle. So Abbas said, ‘Credit me with this amount towards my ransom.’ ‘No,’ Muhammad replied. ‘That money Allah has already taken from you and given to us.’”

Ishaq:313 “The Muslims told Abu Sufyan to pay them a ransom to free his son, Amr. He replied, ‘Am I to suffer the double loss of my blood and my money? After you have killed my son Hanzala, you want me to pay you a ransom to save Amr?’”

Bukhari:V5B59N357 “The Badr warriors were given five thousand dirhams each, yearly. Umar said, ‘I will always give them more than what I will give to others.’”

Tabari VII:80 “When the events of Badr were over, Allah revealed the 8^th surah, ‘The Spoils of War,’ in its entirety. The two armies met [there were no armies, just merchants and militants] and Allah defeated the Meccans [with Muslim swords]. Seventy of them were killed, and seventy were taken captive. Abu Bakr said, ‘O Prophet of Allah, these are your people, your family; they are your cousins, fellow clansmen, and nephews. I think that you should accept ransoms for them so that what we take from them will strengthen us.’”

630Tabari VII:81 “‘What do you think Khattab?’ Muhammad asked. ‘I say you should hand them over to me so that I can cut off their heads. Hand Hamzah’s brother over to him so that he can cut off his head. Hand over Aqil to Ali so that he can cut off his brother’s head. Thus Allah will know that there is no leniency in our hearts toward the unbelievers.’ The Messenger liked what Abu Bakr said and did not like what I said, and accepted ransoms for the captives.”

Ishaq:316 “On the Badr expedition, the Messenger took the sword of Dhu al-Faqar as booty. It had belonged to Munabbih. On that day he also took Abu Jahl’s camel as booty. It was a Mahri dromedary on which he used to go on raids.”

Ishaq:321 “The Spoils of War surah was handed down because we quarreled about the booty. So Allah took it away from us and gave it to His Apostle. When He did, we learned to fear Allah and obey his Messenger. For in truth, our army had gone out with the Prophet seeking the caravan because we wanted its booty.”

Ishaq:324 “Allah taught them how to divide the spoil. He made it lawful and said, ‘A fifth of the booty belongs to the Apostle.’

Quran 008.069 “So enjoy and eat what you took as lawful booty (and) good plunder. And fear al-Laha.”

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.’”

Tabari VIII:38 “The Messenger divided the wealth, wives, and children of the Banu Qurayza Jews among the Muslims.”

Ishaq:465 “When their wrists were bound with cords, the Apostle was a sea of generosity to us. Then the Apostle divided the property, wives, and children of the Qurayza among the Muslims. Allah’s Messenger took his fifth of the booty. He made known on that day the extra shares for horses and their riders, giving the horse two shares and the rider one. A Muslim without a horse got one share of the spoil. It was the first booty in which lots were cast.”

Tabari VIII:39 “Then the Messenger of Allah sent Sa’d bin Zayd with some of the Qurayza captives to Najd, and in exchange for them he purchased horses and arms.”

631Ishaq:503 “Allah saw what was in their hearts so he rewarded them with victory and with as much spoil as they could take. Allah promised that they would soon capture a great deal of booty.”

Tabari IX:28 “The Muslims were concerned. They did not want to give up their share. So Muhammad said, ‘He who holds a share of these captives shall get six camels for every slave from the next booty we take.’ So the Muslims returned the women and children captives.”

Ishaq:508 & Tabari VIII:91 “Abu Jandal escaped and joined Abu Basir. Nearly seventy Muslim men gathered around them and they harassed the Quraysh. Whenever they heard of a Meccan caravan setting out for Syria, they intercepted it, and killed everyone they could get a hold of. They tore every caravan to pieces and took the goods.”

Treaties

Quran 009.003 “And a declaration and announcement from al-Lahi and His Messenger to mankind on the greatest day of the Haj that al-Laha disavows and dishonors (all) obligations to the disbelievers and so does His Messenger. So if you repent, it is better for you, but if you turn away, then know that you cannot escape (from the Punishment of) al-Lahi. And give glad tidings of a painful torment and anguishing punishment to those who disbelieve.”

632Bukhari: V9B84N59 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: “None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.” Whoever says this will save his property and his life from me.’”

Quran 008.058 “If you fear treachery or see signs of disloyalty from any people, including allies, then you may disregard and renounce your treaty with them and retaliate by breaking it off. Lo, al-Laha dislikes the treacherous.”

Quran 008.061 “If the enemy inclines to peace, then you incline to it. And put trust in al-Lahi. Indeed, He hearer, knower. Should they intend to deceive or cheat you, verily al-Lahi will suffice, aiding you with Believers.”

Ishaq:326 “If they ask you for peace on the basis of Islam (submission), make peace on that basis. Be of one mind by His religion.”

Tabari VII:86 “Gabriel brought down the following verse to the Messenger: ‘If you apprehend treachery from any people (with whom you have a treaty), retaliate by breaking off (relations) with them.’ (Quran 008.058) When Gabriel had finished delivering this verse, the Prophet said, ‘I fear the Banu Qaynuqa [Jews].’ It was on the basis of this verse that Muhammad advanced upon them.”

Tabari VII:158 “Judayy went to Abd Allah Ibn Ubayy to ask for support. He said, ‘I found him sitting among a number of his companions while the Prophet’s crier was calling men to arms. He said, ‘This is a clever trick of Muhammad’s.’ The Messenger of Allah besieged the Nadir Jews for fifteen days. In the end they made peace with him on the condition that the Prophet would not kill them and that their property and their coats of mail would be his.”

Tabari VII:159 “The Messenger of Allah besieged the Nadir for fifteen days until he had reduced them to a state of utter exhaustion, so that they would give him what he wanted. The terms in which the Prophet made peace with the Jews were: he would not shed their blood, he would expel them from their lands and settlements, allowing for every three of them a camel and a water-skin.”

Tabari VII:159 “The Prophet fought them until he made peace with them on condition that they evacuate Yathrib. He expelled 633them to Syria but allowed them to keep what their camels could carry, except for their coats of mail and weapons.”

Quran 097.005 “Peace it is until emergence (of) the dawn!”

Ishaq:515 “When the people of Fadak heard what had happened, they sent word to the Messenger asking him to banish them and spare their lives, saying they too would leave him their property. When Khaybar surrendered on these conditions, the survivors asked Muhammad to employ them on their farms for a half share of whatever they produced. They said, ‘We know more about farming [since you are a terrorist].’ So Muhammad made peace with them for a half share, provided that: ‘If we want to expel you, we may.’ He made a similar deal with Fadak. Khaybar became the prey of the Muslims, while Fadak belonged only to the Messenger of Allah, becoming his personal property, because Muslims had not attacked its people with cavalry.”

Quran 009.003 “And a declaration and announcement from al-Lahi and his Messenger to mankind on al-akbari | the greatest day of the Pilgrimage that al-Laha disavows and dishonors (all) obligations to the disbelievers and so does His Messenger. So if you repent, it is better for you, but if you turn away, then know that you cannot escape al-Lahi. And give glad tidings of a painful torment and anguishing punishment to those who disbelieve.”

Tabari VIII:104 “Heraclius received the following letter from the Messenger. ‘In the name of Allah, Ar-Rahman, Ar-Rahim. From Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, to Heraclius, the ruler of the Romans. Peace to whoever follows the right guidance! To proceed; Submit yourself, and you shall be safe.’”

Quran 049.009 “And if two parties among the believers fight and kill, then make peace between both of them. But if oppress one of them on the other then slaughter one which oppresses until it returns to command al-Lahi. Then if it returns then make peace between them with justice and act justly. Indeed, al-Laha loves those who act justly. Quran 049.010 Only the believers brothers so make peace between your brothers and fear al-Laha so that you may receive mercy.”

Tabari VIII:142 “The Messenger made peace with them on condition that the Zoroastrians should be required to pay the jizyah tax [so onerous, it’s akin to economic suicide] that one should not 634marry their women. The Prophet exacted the zakat tax on the wealth of the two men who believed in him and collected the jizyah from all of the Zoroastrians.”

Quran 009.007 “How can be for those who are friendly and share to have an agreement with al-Lahi and with His Rasuli except those whom you made a treaty near al-Masjidi al-Harami | the sacred or forbidden the Mosque? So not they stand firm to you, then you stand firm toward them.”

Quran 009.008 “How while if they are openly collaborative and are clearly distinguished by was obviously made manifest over you? They do not observe the sacred pact or unbreakable deal with you and not covenant of protection. They satisfy and please you with their mouths, enticing you [out negotiating you], but refuse their hearts. Most of them disobedient.”

Quran 009.012 “And if they break their oaths after their treaty and defame your religion, then fight those leading the disbelief. Lo! Verily, there are no oaths for them that they can cease.”

Tabari VIII:163 “Khuza’ah men came to the Messenger and told him how the Quraysh had backed the Bakr against them. The Prophet replied, ‘I think you will see Abu Sufyan come to strengthen the pact and extend the term.’” Ishaq:543 “Abu Sufyan went to Muhammad in Medina to affirm the peace treaty. Upon arriving, he visited his own daughter, Umm. When he was about to sit on the carpet bed of the Prophet, she folded it up to stop him. He said, ‘My daughter, I do not know if you think that I am too good for this bed or if this carpet is too good for me.’ Umm replied [in the arrogant style of one infected by Islam], ‘You are an unclean polytheist.’ Abu answered [insightfully], ‘My daughter, by Allah, evil came over you after you left me. You have gone bad.’”

Ishaq:543 “Then Abu Sufyan went to Allah’s Messenger, but he refused to speak to him.”

Tabari VIII:164 “Sufyan went to Abu Bakr and asked him to intercede, but he refused. When Sufyan asked Umar to help [avert further carnage and death], he replied, ‘No way. By Allah, if I had only ant grubs, I would fight you with them!”

635Tabari VIII:165 “‘There is nothing that you can do to make peace with him.’ So Abu Sufyan stood in the mosque and said, ‘People, I came to make peace. I promise protection between men.’”

Tabari VIII:165 “When Abu Sufyan reported back to the Quraysh that Muhammad had given him no reply, they said, ‘Woe to you! By Allah, he did no more than play with you.’”

Tabari VIII:182 “Allah had enabled Muhammad to take the persons of the Quraysh by force, giving him power over them so they were his booty. Their lives were now his spoil, but he emancipated them.”

Tabari IX:58 “When the Messenger reached Tabuk the governor made a treaty and agreed to pay the jizyah tax.”

Ishaq:607 “The Byzantines encountered the Messenger’s cavalry which was led by Khalid. Ukaydir was seized and his brother Hassan was killed. Muhammad spared his life and made peace with him on the condition that he pay the zakat tax.”

Ishaq:316 “In peace you are wild asses, rough and coarse. But I care not so long as my hand can grasp my trusty blade.”

Tabari VIII:17 “The Muslims and the polytheists stayed in their positions for twenty nights with no fighting except for the shooting of arrows and the siege. When the trial became great for the people, the Messenger sent for the leaders of the Ghatafan. He offered them a third of the date harvest of Medina on condition that they leave. The truce between the sides progressed to the point of drawing up a written document, but there was no witnessing or firm determination to make peace; it was only a matter of maneuvering.”

Ishaq:454 “Now that Allah has conferred Islam on us, and made us famous, shall we give them our property? By Allah, we will offer them only the sword until Allah judges between us.’ ‘As you wish,’ said Allah’s Messenger.”

Tabari VIII:100 “Abu Sufyan said, ‘We were merchants but the fighting between us and Muhammad has prevented us from journeying, so our wealth is depleted. [This is the purpose of terrorism.] Even after the truce with the Muslims, we fear that we still are not safe. [Muslims had continued to plunder their 636caravans and violated the treaty twenty times.] Nevertheless, I shall set out with a group of merchants for Gaza.’”

Quran 004.091 “You will find others who, while wishing to live in peace and to be safe from you to gain the confidence of their people; thrown back to mischief. If they do not withdraw, and offer you peace besides restraining their hands, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them; and against them We have given you a clear sanction and authority.”

Hypocrites

Quran 048.011 “The desert Arabs who lagged behind [in fighting] will say to you: ‘We were engaged in our flocks and our families.’ We [Allah] have prepared for them a Blazing Fire!”

Quran 048.017 “There is no blame for the blind, nor is it a sin for the lame, nor on one ill any blame (if he does not join in the fighting). And whoever obeys al-Laha and his Rasula, he will admit to Gardens flow from under them the rivers. But whoever turns away or retreats, He will punish him with a painful punishment.”

Quran 004.077 “Have you not seen those who were told to hold back their hands (from fighting) and perform prostration prayer and give the tax, but when al-Qitalu | the Fighting and Killing was ordained and required for them, a group fear men as they should fear al-Lahi, or even more intensely. They say, ‘Our Lord, why have you mandated for us al-Qitala | the Killing? Would You consider a postponement for a while?’ Say, ‘Short is the enjoyment of this world. The hereafter is better for him who fears. So you shall not be wronged a hair on a date seed.”

Quran 004.078 “Wherever you are, the death will overtake you, even if you are in lofty towers. And if befalls them any good, they say, ‘This from from al-Lahi.’ And if any evil befalls them, they say, ‘This from you.’ Say, ‘All is from al-Lahi.’ So what these the people not they seem understand any statement?”

637Quran 004.088 “What with you that the spent and exhausted (Hypocrites) split in groups? Al-Lahu overturned and reverted them for what they acquired. Do you want to direct whom al-Lahu caused to err and led astray? And whomever al-Lahu has confounded to mislead al-Lahu never will find for him a way.”

Quran 004.089 “They wish that you reject Faith, as they have disbelieved, and thus that you all become equal. So take not from them allies or friends until they emigrate in the way of al-Lahi. And if they turn back and become apostates (from Islam), fakhudhuhum wa-uq’tuluhum | seize them and kill them wherever you find them. And never take associates or friends from them.”

Quran 047.020 “Say believers, ‘Why not has been revealed a Suratun. But when is revealed a Suratun precise and is mentioned in it the fighting and killing, you see those who in their hearts a disease looking at you a look of one fainting from the death.”

Quran 047.021 “Obedience and suitable speech. And when decided and determined the command (of preparation for Jihad) then if they had been sincere with al-Laha, lo, it would have been better for them. Quran 047.022 Then would you perhaps if you are given authority that you cause corruption in the earth and cut off your ties of kinship? Quran 047.023 Those the ones al-Lahu has cursed them so He made them deaf and blinded their sight.”

Quran 004.097 “Verily, those whom take them the angels, they cruel lords and tyrants, themselves, they say, ‘In what were you?’ They said, ‘We were weak and oppressed in the earth.’ They said, ‘Not was earth al-Lahi spacious so that you could run and emigrate in it?’ Then their abode Jahannam | Hell. And it an evil destination.”

Quran 004.008 “Except those who are feeble, men, women and children, who cannot devise a plan nor have the means or power. These are those whom Allah is likely to forgive.”

Quran 009.016 “Do you think you shall be left alone while al-Lahu has not yet tested those among you who have jahad | striven hard and fought and have not taken allies besides al-Lahi and his Messenger, and believers. Al-Lahu knows what you do.”

Quran 009.038 “O you who believe, what with you when it is said to you, ‘Go forth in Cause al-Lahi (i.e., Jihad) you sluggish, loaded down to the earth? Are you pleased and content with the life 638near and low (the world) than the behind and delayed (hereafter)? But what enjoyment of benefit, even use as a commodity, the life the world in the after except a little. Quran 009.039 If not you march forth, He will castigate, torment, and torture you severely and painfully, and will replace you, exchanging and substituting you for a people other than you and not you can harm Him anything. Al-Lahu on every thing powerful.”

Quran 009.043 “May Allah forgive you. Why did you grant them leave (for remaining behind; you should have persisted as regards to your order to them to proceed on Jihad), until you had known the liars.”

Quran 009.044 “Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day do not ask for an exemption from fighting with your goods and persons. And Allah knows well those who do their duty.”

Quran 009.045 “Only those [hypocritical Muslims] ask for exemption (from Jihad) who believe not in Allah and whose hearts in doubt, so that they are tossed to and fro. If they had intended to march out to fight, they would have made some preparation and readied their equipment; but Allah was averse to their being sent forth; so He made them lag behind. ‘Sit you among those who sit.’ If they had marched with you, they would not have added to your (strength) but only (made for) discord, spying and sowing sedition. There would have been some in your midst who would have listened to them. But Allah knows those who do wrong and are wicked.”

Quran 009.048 “They had plotted sedition before, and upset matters for you until the Decree of Allah [to fight] became manifest, much to their disgust. Among them are many who say: ‘Grant me exemption to stay back at home (exempted from Jihad). And do not tempt me [with booty].’ Have they not fallen into temptation already? Indeed, Hell surrounds them.”

Quran 009.067 “The Hypocrites enjoin what is forbidden, and forbid what Islam commands. They withhold their hands (from spending in Allah’s Cause). They have forgotten Allah so He has forgotten them. Lo, the Hypocrites are oblivious and perverse. Quran 009.068 Allah has promised the Hypocrites, both men and women, and the disbelievers the Fire of Hell for their abode: Therein shall they dwell. It will suffice them. On them is the curse of Allah, and an enduring punishment.”

639Quran 009.074 “The Hypocrites swear by Allah that they said nothing, but indeed they uttered blasphemy, and they disbelieved after Surrender (accepting Islam). They meditated a plot which they were unable to carry out. The reason for this revenge of theirs was the bounty [spoils of war] with which Allah and his Messenger had enriched them. If they repent, it will be best for them; but if they turn back, Allah will punish them now and later.”

Quran 009.075 “Some of you made a deal with Allah, saying, ‘If You give us booty we shall pay You the tax.’ But when He gave them booty, they became greedy and refused to pay. As a consequence of breaking their promises, Allah filled their hearts with hypocrisy which will last forever.”

Quran 009.077 “He punished them by putting hypocrisy in their hearts until the Day whereon they shall meet Him, because they lied to Allah and failed to perform as promised. Allah knows their secrets. Those who slander and taunt the believers who pay the zakat voluntarily and throw ridicule on them, scoffing, Allah will throw back their taunts, and they shall have a painful doom. Whether you ask for their forgiveness or not, (their sin is unforgivable). If you ask seventy times for their forgiveness Allah will not forgive them.”

Quran 009.081 “Those who stayed behind rejoiced in their inaction behind the back of the Messenger. They hated to strive and fight with their goods and lives in the Cause of Allah. They said, ‘Go not forth in the heat.’ Say, ‘The fire of Hell is fiercer in heat.’ If only they could understand! So let them laugh a little, for they will weep much as a reward for what they did. If Allah brings you back (from the raid) to a party of the hypocrites and they ask to go out to fight, say: ‘You shall never go out to fight with me against a foe. You were content sitting inactive on the first occasion. So sit with the useless men who lag behind.’ Do not pray for any of them that die, nor stand at his grave. They rejected Allah and disbelieved His Messenger. They died in a state of perverse rebellion.”

Quran 009.085 “Let not their wealth or sons dazzle you or excite your admiration. Allah’s plan is to punish them with these things in this world, and to make their souls perish while they disbelieve. When a surah comes down enjoining them to believe in Allah and to strive hard and fight along with His Messenger, those with wealth and influence among them ask you for exemption from 640Jihad. They prefer to be with (their women), who remain behind (at home). Their hearts are sealed and so they understand not.”

Quran 009.088 “But the Messenger and those who believe with him, jahad | strive hard and fight with their wealth and lives. And those, for them, the good things. Those, they the successful ones.”

Quran 009.090 “And there were among the wandering desert Arabs men who made excuses and came to claim exemption (from the battle). Those who lied to Allah and His Messenger sat at home. Soon will a grievous torment seize them.”

Quran 009.093 “The (complaint) is against those who claim exemption [from fighting] while they are rich. They prefer to stay with the (women) who remain behind (at home). Allah has sealed their hearts. They are content to be useless. Say: ‘Present no excuses: we shall not believe you.’ It is your actions that Allah and His Messenger will see. They will swear to you by Allah, when you return hoping that you might leave them alone. So turn away from them, for they are unclean, an abomination, and Hell is their dwelling-place, a fitting recompense for them.”

Quran 009.097 “The Arabs of the desert are the worst in unbelief and hypocrisy, and most fitted to be in ignorance of the command which Allah hath sent down to His Messenger. Some of the Arabs look upon their payments (for Allah’s Cause) as a fine and wish disasters to fall on you. Yet on them be the disaster of evil.”

Quran 009.101 “Among the Arabs are hypocrites. They, like people obstinate in hypocrisy. We know them. Twice shall we punish them, and in addition they shall be brought back to a horrible torment.”

Quran 009.120 “It is not fitting for the people of Medina and the Arabs to refuse to follow Allah’s Messenger (Muhammad when fighting in Allah’s Cause), nor to prefer their own lives to his life. They suffer neither thirst nor fatigue in Allah’s Cause, no do they go without reward. They do not take steps to raise the anger of disbelievers, nor inflict any injury upon an enemy without it being written to their credit as a deed of righteousness.”

Tabari IX:13 “Muhammad turned to see Umm, a pregnant woman, who said, ‘O Messenger! Kill those [Muslims] who flee from you as you kill those who fight you, for they deserve death. 641Here is my dagger. If any come near me I will rip them up and slit open their belly with it.’”

Tabari IX:49 “One of the hypocrites, feeling an aversion to battle, being skeptical of the truth, and spreading false rumors about Muhammad, said that they should not go out in the heat. With regard to him, Allah revealed: ‘They said, “Do not march out in the heat.” Say, “The heat of hell is far more intense.”’”

Ishaq:602 “Jadd told Muhammad, ‘Will you allow me to stay behind and not tempt me? Everyone knows that I am strongly addicted to women. I’m afraid I’ll see Byzantine women and will not be able to control myself.’ The Apostle gave him permission to remain behind. It was about him that Allah sent down: ‘There are some who say: “Give me leave to stay behind and do not tempt me.” Surely they have fallen into temptation already and hell encompasses the unbelievers.’ It was not that he feared the temptation from the Byzantine women. The temptation he had fallen into was greater in that he had hung back from the Apostle and sought to please himself rather than Muhammad. Verily hell awaits him.”

Ishaq:603 “One of the estranged ones said to another, ‘Don’t go out to fight in this heat.’ He disliked strenuous war, doubted the truth, and created misgivings about the Apostle. So Allah sent down regarding them, ‘And they said, “Do not go out in this heat.” Say, “The fires of hell are hotter. Let them laugh a little now for they will weep a great deal later as a reward for what they did.’”

Ishaq:603 “Some Bedouins came to apologize for not going into battle, but Allah would not accept their excuses.”

Ishaq:603“The surah of the Hypocrites came down because some men sent secret messages to the Nadir Jews when the Apostle besieged them. So Allah sent down, “Have you not considered the Hypocrites who say to their brethren, the People of the Book [Jews], ‘We shall never obey anyone against you. If you are attacked and driven out we will help you. Allah bears witness that they are liars.’”

Quran 059.011 “Do not you see to those who hypocrites saying to their brothers, those who disbelieved among the People of the Book, ‘If you are expelled, surely we will leave with you and not will 642obey concerning you anyone ever, and if you are fought, we surely will help you. And al-Lahu bears witness that they, indeed, lie. Quran 059.012 If they are expelled, they will not leave with them and if they are found, they will not help them. And if they help them, surely they will burn back then no they will be helped. Quran 059.013 Lo, more intense fear in their breast than al-Lahi. That because they an ignorant people.” Quran 059.014 Not will they fight you all except in fortified towns or form behind walls. Their violence among themselves severe. You think they are united, but their hearts divided. That is because they a people without reason.”

Quran 008.020 “O you who believe! Obey al-Laha and His Rasul. And do not turn away from him while you hear. Do not be like those who say, ‘We hear,’ but do not listen. Those who do not obey are the worst of beasts, the vilest of animals in the sight of Allah. They are deaf and dumb. Those who do not understand are senseless. If Allah had seen any good in them, He would have made them listen. And even if He had made them listen, they would but have turned away and declined submission.”

Quran 008.047 “And be not like those who come out of their homes boastfully, showing off to the people, while hindering from the Way of al-Lahi. Al-Lahu is encircling and encompassing all they do. Satan made their acts seem alluring to them, and said: ‘No one can conquer you this day, while I am near you.’ But when the two armies came in sight of each other, he turned on his heels, and said: ‘Lo! I am not with you. I see what you cannot. Verily, I fear Allah: for Allah is severe in punishment.’”

Quran 008.049 “When the hypocrites and those in whose hearts was a disease of disbelief said, ‘These people are deluded and deceived by their religion.’ But whoever puts trust in al-Lahi, then verily, al-Laha mighty, wise.”

Quran 008.055 “Lo, (the) worst of beastly creatures before al-Lahi (are) those who disbelieve, and they (will) never believe. They are those with whom you make an agreement, but they break their covenant every time, and they keep not their duty [to fight].”

643Quran 063.001 “When the hypocrites come to you, they say, ‘We bear witness and testify that you are indeed the Messenger of al-Lahi.’ Al-Lahu knows that you are indeed His Messenger and al-Lahu testifies that the hypocrites are surely liars.”

Quran 063.002 “They take their oaths a cover so they turn away from Way al-Lahi. Lo! Verily, they evil. (It is what) they used to do. Quran 063.003 That because they believed then they disbelieved. So were sealed upon their hearts so they not know.”

Quran 063.004 “When you look at the Hypocrites, their bodies please you; and if they speak, you listen to their words as blocks of wood propped up. They think that every cry is against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. Al-Lahu may curse and destroy them! How are they deluded? Quran 063.005 And when it is said to them, ‘Come, the Messenger of al-Lahi might ask forgiveness for you,’ they turn aside their heads, and you see them turning away in pride. Quran 063.006 (It) is same for them whether you ask forgiveness or not. Never will al-Lahu forgive them. Quran 063.007 The Hypocrites the ones who say, ‘Spend not on those who are with al-Lahi’s Rasul until they desert him and disband.’ And for Lillahi treasures the heavens and the earth, but the hypocrites not know.”

Ishaq:372 “When he went out, Abd Allah bin Ubayy [the man who had advised against leaving town] came back with 300 men, saying, ‘We do not know why we should get ourselves killed here.’ So he went back to Medina with the Hypocrites [peaceful and pacifist Muslims] and doubters who followed him. Abd Allah bin Amr said, ‘Allah curse you, enemies of Allah. Allah will let us manage without you.’”

Ishaq:391 “The day of Uhud was a day of trial, calamity, and heart-searching on which Allah tested the believers. He put the hypocrites on trial, those who professed faith with their tongue and hid unbelief in their hearts. And it was a day in which Allah honored with martyrdom those whom He willed.”

Quran 003.141 “This is so that al-Lahu may perfect the believers and destroy the unbelievers. Quran 003.142 Or, do you think that you will enter Paradise before al-Lahu tests to know those among you who have jihad | fought, striving hard and who have proven that they are steadfast? Quran 003.143 And certainly, you wanted to die, previously wishing for death (martyrdom in battle) 644before you witnessed and experienced it. Now you have seen it openly with your own eyes.”

Ishaq:393 “Allah loves the steadfast [fighters]. How many a prophet has death in battle befallen and how many multitudes with him? They did not show weakness toward their enemies and were not humiliated when they suffered in the fight for Allah and their religion. That is steadfastness, and Allah loves the steadfast.”

Ishaq:395 “Practice your religion as they did, and be not renegades, turning back, retreating. Those who retreat and turn away from battle are losers in this world and in the next.”

Quran 003.154 “Then He sent down upon you from after the distress security through slumber, overcoming a group of you while a group, indeed, worried them themselves, thinking by il-Lahi other than the truth thought the ignorance saying, ‘Is for us from the matter any thing?’ Say, lo, verily, the matter all it for il-Lahi.’ They hid in themselves what not they reveal to you. They say, ‘If was for us from the matter anything no we would have been killed here.’ Say, ‘If you were in your houses, lo, surely come out those who was decreed upon them the death towards their places of death. And that might test al-Lahu what in your breasts and that He may purge what in your hearts. And al-Lahu all-aware of what the breasts.”

645Quran 003.155 “Lo, those who retreated among you that day met the two forces and the Adversary, Satan, made them slip up from what they had earned so surely, al-Lahu forgave them.”

Quran 003.156 “O you who believe! Be not like those who disbelieve, the infidel hypocrites, and who say to their brethren when they travel in the earth or go out to fight, ‘If they had stayed with us, they would not have died or been killed.’ So, al-Lahu makes it a cause of regret in their hearts. It is al-Lahu that gives life and causes death, the all-seer of what you do.”

Quran 003.167 “That he might test and make evident who are the hypocrites, it was said to them, ‘Come, qatilu | kill in the Way of al-Lahi or defend.’ They said, ‘Had we known that fighting was taking place, and knew how to fight, we would certainly have followed you.’ They were that day, nearer to disbelief than to faith, saying with their mouths what was not in their hearts. And al-Lahu has full knowledge of what they conceal. Quran 003.168 The ones who said about their killed brethren while they themselves sat, ‘If only they had listened to us, they would not have been killed.’ Say, ‘Avert death from your ownselves, if you speak the truth.’”

Ishaq:399 “You had smitten your enemy with a double dose of torment at Badr, slaying them and taking prisoners. Yet you disobeyed your Prophet’s orders and brought the defeat of Uhud on yourselves. And it was said to them: ‘Come, fight for Allah’s sake.’ The hypocrites stopped fighting for Allah’s sake, eager to survive, fleeing death. So Allah said to His Prophet to make the Muslims wish to fight and to desire battle: ‘And do not think that those who were killed for Allah’s sake are dead. Nay, they are alive with their Lord being nourished, glad with the bounty Allah has brought them and rejoicing for those who have not yet joined them that they have nothing to fear or grieve over.’”

Quran 033.011 “There, the believers were tried and shaken with a mighty shaking. And behold! The Hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease said: ‘Allah and His Messenger promised us nothing but delusion and deception!’ Quran 033.013 And when a party of them said, ‘O people of Yathrib, no stand for you. So turn back.’ And a group of them sought permission the Prophet, saying, ‘Lo! Our homes exposed,’ when they not exposed. They wished but to flee.’ Quran 033.015 And certainly they had already made a sworn oath to al-Laha that they would not turn their backs. Is an 646oath to al-Lahi to be questioned? Quran 033.016 Say, ‘Never will fleeing benefit you if you flee from death or slaughter. And then you will not be allowed to enjoy but a little.’ Quran 033.017 Say, ‘Who is it that can protect you from al-Lahi if He intends to harm you or intends a mercy on you? And they will not find, besides al-Lahi, for themselves any protector or supporter.’ Quran 033.018 Lo, al-Lahu knows those among you who hinder (fighting), and who say to their brethren, ‘Come here towards us,’ while they do not show up for battle except a few. Quran 033.020 They think the clans have not withdrawn. And if the allies should come, they would wish they were in the deserts among the Arabs, seeking news about you (from a safe distance). And if they were among you, they would hardly fight at all.”

Quran 004.137 “Verily, those who believed then disbelieved then believed then disbelieved then increased disbelieving not will al-Lahu forgive for them and not will guide them a way. Quran 004.138 Give glad tidings the hypocrites that for them a painful punishment. Quran 004.140 Surely He has revealed to you in al-kitabi | the writing (book) that when you hear ayati | signs (verses) al-Lahi being rejected it and ridiculed at it, then do not sit with them until they engage in a conversation other than that. Lo, verily, then like them. Lo, al-Laha will gather the hypocrites and the disbelievers in Jahannama | Hell all together. Quran 004.142 Lo, the hypocrites deceive al-Laha. And He deceives them. And when they stand for al-Salat | performing the prostration prayer, they stand sluggishly and lazily, showing off the people, and not they remember al-Laha but a little. Quran 004.143 Wavering between that not to these and not to those. And whoever has been led astray by al-Lahu, then never you will find for him a way. Quran 004.144 O you who believed, do not take the disbelievers as allies from instead of the believers. Do you with that you make for il-Lahi 647against you an evidence between (clear)? Quran 004.145 Lo, the Hypocrites in the lowest depths of the Fire. And never you will find for them any helper.”

Surrender

Quran 003.019 “Lo! The religion near al-Lahi al-Is’lamu | the Submission. And not differed those who were given the Book except from after what came to them the knowledge out of envy among them. And whosoever disbelieves in proofs, signs, and verses al-Lahi, then lo, verily, al-Laha swift account. Quran 003.020 Then if they argue with you, then say, ‘I have aslamtu | surrendered to Lillahi and who follow me.’ And say to those who were given the Book and the illiterates (Arabs), ‘Have you submitted yourselves? Then if they aslamu | surrender, then, lo, they are guided, but if they turn back, then only on you to the convey. Al-Lahu seer of slaves.”

Tabari VIII:182 “The people assembled in Mecca to swear allegiance to the Messenger in submission. They gathered to do homage to the Apostle in Islam. Umar remained below the Prophet, lower than the place where he sat, imposing conditions on the people as they paid homage to Muhammad, promising to submit and obey. Umar administered the oath, receiving from the Meccans their pledge of allegiance to Muhammad. They promised to heed and obey Allah and His Messenger.”

648Bukhari:V4B52N203 “I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, ‘He who obeys me, obeys Allah, and he who disobeys me, disobeys Allah. He who obeys the chief, obeys me, and he who disobeys the chief, disobeys me.’”

Quran 033.036 “It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when al-Lahu and His Messenger has decided and decreed a matter, that for them, there should be no choice in their affairs. And whoever disobeys al-Laha and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed into manifest error.”

Quran 047.032 “Verily, those who disbelieve and turn away from the Cause of al-Lahi and oppose al-Rasula from after what between (made clear) to them the guidance, never will they harm al-Laha anything and He will make worthless their deeds. Quran 047.033 O you who believed, obey al-Laha and obey al-Rasula, and make not vain your deeds. Quran 047.034 Lo, verily, those who disbelieve and turn away from the Cause of al-Lahi, then died while they disbelievers, never will al-Lahu forgive them.

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.’”

Quran 009.003 “And a declaration and announcement from al-Lahi and Messenger to mankind on the greatest day of the Haj | Pilgrimage that al-Laha disavows and dishonors (all) obligations to the disbelievers and so does His Messenger.”

Quran 066.002 Lo, verily, al-Lahu has ordained, authorized, and sanctioned for you dissolution of your vows, promises, and oaths. And al-Lahu your protector. And He the knower, the wise.”

Bukhari:V4B52N268 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘War is deceit.’”

Quran 004.142 “Lo, the hypocrites deceive al-Laha. And He deceives them.”

Quran 004.143 “Wavering between that not to these and not to those. And whoever has been led astray by al-Lahu, then never you will find for him a way.

Bukhari:V7B71N661 “Magic was worked on Allah’s Apostle and he was bewitched so that he began to imagine doing things which in fact, he had not done.”

Bukhari:V6B60N8 “Umar said, ‘Our best Quran reciter is Ubai. And in spite of this, we leave out some of his statements because Allah’s Apostle himself said, “Whatever verse or revelation We abrogate or cause to be forgotten We bring a better one.”’”

Quran 033.014 “If they had entered upon them from its sides and they had been exhorted to al-fitnah | the treachery of renouncing Islam, they surely would have done it. They would only have hesitated a little.”

Quran 033.021 “Lo, you have a noble paradigm and a good example for everyone to follow in the Messenger of al-Lahi for him who hopes in al-Laha and the Last Day.”

652Quran 074.031 “‘What does God intend by this example and parable?’ The Lord will lead astray whomever He pleases, and He will guide whomever He pleases.”

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

Ishaq:519 “Hajjaj said to the Apostle, ‘I have money scattered among the Meccan merchants, so give me permission to go and get it.’ Having got Muhammad’s permission, he said, ‘I must tell lies.’ The Apostle said, ‘Tell them.’”

Quran 047.024 “Than do not they turn back to (ponder) al-Qur’ana? Or on hearts locks? Quran 047.025 Verily, those who return on their backs from after what become clear to them the guidance, the Adversary, Satan, seduced and enticed them and prolonged hope for them. Quran 047.026 That because they said to those who hate what al-Lahu has revealed, ‘We will obey you in part of this command.’ But al-Lahu knows their secrets.”

Ishaq:548 “By Allah, the black mass has spread.”

Ishaq:548 “Abu Bakr said, ‘There is not much honesty among people nowadays.’”

Quran 005.041 “Whomever Allah wants to deceive you cannot help. Allah does not want them to know the truth because he intends to disgrace them and then torture them.”

Quran 005.102 “A people before you did ask such questions, and on that account they lost their faith and became disbelievers.”

Ishaq:567 “Muhammad informed Umar, and he called the Prophet a liar.”

Tabari IX:36 & Ishaq:596 “‘‘Muhammad, you came to us discredited, when your message was rejected by the Quraysh, and 653we believed you. You were forsaken and deserted and we assisted you. You were a fugitive and we took you in, sheltering you.”

Bukhari:V6B60N662 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Some eloquent speech is as effective as magic.’”

Tabari VI:110 “When Muhammad brought a revelation from Allah canceling what Satan had cast on the tongue of His Prophet, the Quraysh said, ‘Muhammad has repented of [he reneged on] what he said concerning the position of our gods with Allah. He has altered [the bargain] and brought something else.’ Those two phrases which Satan had cast on Muhammad’s tongue were in the mouth of every polytheist. They became even more ill-disposed and more violent in their persecution of those of them who had accepted Islam and followed the Messenger.”

Ishaq:248 “Allah has sealed their hearts and their hearing, blinding them so that they will never find guidance. And that is because they have declared you a liar and they do not believe in what has come down from their Lord to you even though they believe in all that came down before you. For opposing you they will have an awful punishment.”

Quran 002.006-13 “Lo! Verily, those who disbelieve, is same to them whether you warn them or not, they will not believe. Al-Lahu has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing and on their vision a veil. And for them a great punishment. And of the people who say, “We believe in il-Lahi and in the Last Day, they are not believers. They seek to deceive al-Laha and those who believed and not they deceive except themselves and they know not. In their hearts a disease. So al-Lahu has increased their disease. And for them a painful punishment because they used to lie. And when it is said to them, do not spread corruption in the earth, they say, ‘We are only reformers.’ Beware, lo, verily, they, themselves, are the ones who spread corruption but they know not. And when it is said to them, ‘Believe as the people believed,’ they say, ‘Should we believe as the fools believed?’ Beware, lo, they are the fools, but they know not.”

Quran 002.009-010 “They seek to deceive al-Laha and those who believed and not they deceive except themselves and they know not. In their hearts a disease. So al-Lahu has increased their disease. And for them a painful punishment because they used to lie.”

654Quran 008.030 “When the disbelievers plotted against you to restrain you, to kill you, or to get you out, they were plotting and al-Lahu too was plotting, and al-Lahu is the best of the schemers.”

Ishaq:323 “I am the best of plotters. I deceived them with My guile so that I delivered you from them.”

Quran 008.049 “Lo, (the) worst of beastly creatures before al-Lahi (are) those who disbelieve, and they (will) never believe.’”

Quran 0080.71 “But if they intend (to) betray you, lo, verily, they have betrayed al-Laha before. So He gave (you) power and mastery over them. And al-Lahu (is) All-Knower, All-Wise.”

Tabari VII:85 & Ishaq:363 “The Jews of the Qaynuqa replied, ‘Muhammad, do you think that we are like your people? Do not be deluded by the fact that you met a people with no knowledge and you made good use of your opportunity.’”

Ishaq:365 & Tabari VII:94 “Muhammad bin Maslamah said, ‘Messenger, we will have to lie.’ ‘Say what you like,’ Muhammad said. ‘You are absolved, free to say whatever you must.’”

Bukhari:V5B59N369 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Who is willing to kill Ka’b bin Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?’ Thereupon Muhammad bin Maslamah got up saying, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Would you like me to kill him?’ The Prophet said, ‘Yes,’ Maslamah said, ‘Then allow me to say false things in order to deceive him.’ The Prophet said, ‘You may say such things.’”

Ishaq:248 “Allah increases their sickness. A tormented doom awaits the Jews. Allah said, ‘They are mischief makers. They are fools. The Jews deny the truth and contradict what the Apostle has brought. I will mock them and let them wander blindly.’”

Quran 013.027 “And say those who disbelieved, ‘Why has not a sign been sent down to him from his Rabbihi?’ Say, ‘Lo, al-Laha lets go astray whom He wills.’”

Ishaq:383 “Perhaps Allah will grant us martyrdom.’ So they took their swords and sallied out until they mingled with the [un-] army. One was killed by the Meccans, the other by his fellow Muslims who failed to recognize him. One of the young men’s fathers confronted Muhammad and said, ‘You have robbed my son of his life by your deception and brought great sorrow to me.’”

655Quran 003.024 “They have been deceived by the lies they have themselves fabricated; their religion has deceived them.”

Ishaq:442 “Sword in hand we brought down the Nadir. By Muhammad’s order we beguiled them.”

Tabari VIII:23 “The Messenger and his Companions continued in the fear and distress that Allah has described in the Quran. Then Nu’aym came to the Prophet and said, ‘I have become a Muslim, but my tribe does not know of my Islam; so command me whatever you will.’ Muhammad said, ‘Make them abandon each other if you can so that they will leave us; for war is deception.’”

Ishaq:496 “‘By Allah you lie,’ one said. ‘Liar yourself!’ ‘You are a disaffected person arguing on behalf of the diseased.”

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.”

Intolerance

Quran 008.012 “When your Lord inspired the angels, ‘I am with you, so keep firm those who believed. I will cast al-ru’ba | terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved. So strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes. Quran 008.013 That because they opposed al-Laha and His Rasul. And whoever opposes al-Laha and His Rasul, then lo, al-Laha (is) severe in penalty and punishment.’ Quran 008.014 That. ‘So taste it. And that for the disbelieving infidels punishment the fire.’”

656Quran 008.020 “Believers, obey al-Laha and His Rasul. And do not turn away from him while you hear. Quran 008.021 And (do) not be like those who say, ‘We heard,’ while they hear not. Quran 008.022 Lo, the vilest and worst of the creatures as beasts near the sight of al-Lahi (are) the deaf, the dumb, those who have no sense. Quran 008.023 And had al-Lahu found any good in them, surely He would have made them listen. And if He had made them hear, surely they would have turned away while shunning.”

Quran 008.036 “Verily, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to hinder from the Way of al-Lahi, they continue to spend it, but it will become an anguish for them. Then they will be overcome. And those who disbelieve will be gathered unto Hell, Quran 008.037 in order that al-Lahu may distinguish the wicked (disbelievers) from the good (believers of Islamic Monotheism), and put some of the wicked on others, and heap them all together and cast them into Hell. Those! They are the losers.

Quran 008.039 “Fight them until all opposition ends and all religion is for Allah alone.”

Ishaq:324 “He said, Fight them so there is no more rebellion, and religion, all of it, is for Allah only. Allah must have no rivals.”

Quran 008.050 “If you could see when the angels take away the souls of those who disbelieve, they beat their faces and strike their backs, ‘Taste the punishment of burning in the blazing fire.’

Quran 008.052 “Similar to the way people Fir’aun (Pharaoh), and of those before them. They rejected and disbelieved the ayat | proofs, verses, and signs of al-Lahi, so al-Lahu seized them, punishing them for their covering reconciliation.”

Quran 008:059 “And (let) not those who disbelieve think that they (can) prevail. Verily, they will never be able to defend themselves or escape.”

Quran 009.004 “You cannot escape Allah, weaken or frustrate Him. And proclaim a grievous penalty of a painful doom to those who reject [Islamic] Faith.”

Quran 009.017 “Is not for those who are friendly and share that they maintain Mosque al-Lahi witnessing against themselves with disbelief. Those worthless their deeds and in the fire they abide forever. Quran 009.018 Only he shall visit and maintain mosque of 657al-Lahi who believes in al-Lahi and the day the last, and stands for devotional obligations of the prostration prayer, pays the zakat, and not fears except al-Laha.”

Quran 009.028 “O you who believe, verily, those who are friendly and share unclean. So let them not, after their year, come near the Sacred of Forbidden Mosque [that they built, promoted, and maintained].”

Quran 009.030 “And al-Yahud | the Jews say, ‘Uzayrun (Ezra) (is the) son (of) al-Lahi,’ and al-Nasara | the Christians say, ‘al-Masihu (the Messiah) (is the) son (of) al-Lahi.’ That (is) their saying with their mouths. They imitate the saying (of) those who disbelieved from before. The Curse of al-Lahu is to destroy them. How deluded are they?”

Quran 009.033 “He (is) the One Who sent His Rasula | Messenger with guidance and the dini | religion (of) the truth (Islam), to make it superior over all religions even though the mushrikun | disbelievers hate (it).”

Quran 009.063 “Know they not that for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger is the Fire of Hell wherein they shall dwell? That is the supreme disgrace.”

Quran 009.066 “Make no excuses: you have rejected Faith after you had accepted it. If We pardon some of you, We will punish others amongst you, for they are disbelievers.”

Quran 009.071 “O Prophet, strive hard against the unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be harsh with them. Their abode is Hell.”

Quran 009.113 “It is not fitting for the Prophet and those who believe, that they should pray for the forgiveness for disbelievers, even though they be close relatives, after it is clear to them that they are the inmates of the Flaming Hell Fire.”

Quran 005.010 “Those who reject, disbelieve, and deny Our signs, proofs, verses, and lessons will be companions of Hell-Fire.”

Quran 005.051 “O you who believe, take not al-Yahuda | the Jews and al-Nasara | the Nazareth (as) allies or friends. Some of them (are) friends and allies (to) others. And whoever takes them as friends or allies, then surely he (is) one of them.”

658Quran 005.077-78 “Say, People of the Book, do not overstep the bounds in your religion or follow the people who erred in their vain desires and led many astray. Cursed are the unbelievers among the Children of Israel…because they disobeyed.”

Quran 005.080 “You see many of them taking allies who disbelieved. Surely evil sent forth for them, making al-Lahu angry with them and so they will endure the punishment forever.”

Quran 005.082 “Thou wilt surely find that, of all people, the most hostile to those who believe are the Jews as well as those who are bent on ascribing divinity to aught beside God; and thou wilt surely find that, of all people, they who say, ‘Behold, we are Christians,’ come closest to feeling affection for those who believe: this is so because there are priests and monks among them, and because these are not given to arrogance.”

Quran 005.086 “Those who reject Islam and are disbelievers, denying our Signs, they shall be the owners of the Hell Fire.”

Quran 004.168 “Verily, those who disbelieved and did wrong not will al-Lahu forgive them and not He will guide them a way. Quran 004.169 Except way to Hell abiding in it forever. And is that easy for al-Lahi.”

Quran 004.115 Whoever contradicts or opposes the Messenger from after what between (became clear) to him the guidance and he follows other than way the believers, we will turn him what he turned. And we will burn him in Hell! Evil it is a destination.”

Ishaq:344 “We smote them and they scattered. The impious met death. They became fuel for Hell. All who aren’t Muslims must go there. It will consume them while the Stoker increases the heat. They had called Allah’s Apostle a liar. They claimed, ‘You are nothing but a sorcerer.’ So, Allah destroyed them.”

Quran 033.060 “Truly, if the Hypocrites, those in whose hearts is a disease, those who stir up sedition, the agitators in the City, do not desist, We shall urge you to go against them and set you over them. Then they will not be able to stay as your neighbor for any length of time. They shall have a curse on them. Whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain without mercy. (Such was) the practice of Allah among those who lived before. No change wilt thou find in the practice of Allah.”

659Quran 033.064 “Lo, al-Laha has cursed the unbelievers who are non-Muslims and has prepared for them a Blazing Fire, Quran 033.065 to dwell in forever. No protector will they find, nor helper.

Quran 088.001 “Has come to you news and tidings of the overwhelming (calamity)? Faces (all disbelievers, Jews, and Christians) that Day, humiliated, laboring exhausted. They will burn in a blazing fire, intensely hot. They will be given drink from a boiling spring. Not for them food except a poisonous plant with bitter thorns. Not it nourishes and not it avails from hunger.”

Bukhari:V4B52N260 “Ali burnt some people to death and this news reached 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.’ No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, ‘If a Muslim discards his religion, kill him.’”

Quran 074.031 “And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire, and We have fixed their number only as a contentious trial for the disbelievers, in order that the people of the Scripture Book may arrive at a certainty and the believers may increase in Faith and that no doubts may be left for the people of the Book and the believers, and that those skeptics and infidels in whose hearts is a disease and the disbelievers may say: ‘What does God intend by this example and parable?’”

Bukhari:V4B54N487 “The Prophet said, ‘The Hell Fire is 69 times hotter than ordinary worldly fires.’ So someone said, ‘Allah’s Apostle, wouldn’t this ordinary fire have been sufficient to torture the unbelievers?’”

Quran 072.015 “But the Disbelievers and Deviators are the fuel and firewood of hell.”

Quran 072.016 “If they (Jinn) had remained on the Way, We should have given them an abundance to drink, Quran 072.017 that we might try them by that means. But whosoever turns away from 660the reminder of his lord (the Quran), he will thrust him into an ever-growing torment, and cause for him a severe penalty.”

Quran 072.025 “Whoever disobeys the Lord and His Messenger then there is for him the fire of Hell where they shall abide forever.”

Quran 090.019 “But those who disbelieve and reject Our signs, proofs, or verses, they (are) companions of the left (hand). Quran 090.020 Over them, Fire closed in, an awning, vaulting over them.”

Tabari VIII:130 “The Messenger said during his final illness, ‘Two religions cannot coexist in the Arabian Peninsula.’ Umar investigated the matter, then sent to the Jews, saying: ‘Allah has given permission for you to be expelled; for I have received word that the Prophet said that two religions cannot coexist in Arabia.”

Ishaq:524 “We cannot accept the oaths of Jews. Their infidelity is so great they swear falsely.”

Quran 002.064 “Then you (Jews) turned away from after that. So if not grace of al-Lahi upon you and His Mercy, lo, verily, you would have been of the losers. Quran 002.065 And lo, you knew those who transgressed among you in al-Sabti | the Sabbath. So We said to them, ‘Be apes despised.’ Quran 002.066 So We made this a deterrent punishment as an example for those front them and those after them and a warning for those who fear.”

Quran 066.009 “O Prophet, jihad against the unbelieving Infidels and the Hypocrites. And be severe against them. Their abode is Hell, an evil resort and wretched destination.”

Quran 048.013 “Whoever not believed in il-Lahi and his Rasuli, then lo, we have prepared for the disbelievers a blazing fire!”

Quran 048.028 “He the one who sent His Rasula with guidance and religion the true that He may make it exalted and prevail over all the religions. And sufficient is il-Lahi a witness.”

Tabari IX:78 “No polytheist shall come near the Holy Mosque, and no one shall circumambulate Allah’s House naked.”

Ishaq:246 “Hypocrites used to assemble in the mosque and listen to the stories of the Muslims and laugh at their religion. So Muhammad ordered that they be ejected. They were thrown out with great violence. Abu went to Amr, who was a custodian of the 661gods. He took his foot and dragged him out of the mosque. Another Muslim slapped a man’s face while dragging him forcefully. ‘Keep out of the Apostle’s mosque, you Hypocrite,’ he said. Another was punched in the chest and knocked down. One was pulled violently by his hair. ‘Don’t come near the Apostle’s mosque again for you are unclean.’ The first hundred verses of the Cow surah came down regarding these Jewish rabbis and Hypocrites.”

Ishaq:262 “Some Muslims remained friends with the Jews, so Allah sent down a Quran forbidding them to take Jews as friends. From their mouths hatred has already shown itself and what they conceal is worse.”

Ishaq:245 “The Apostle used to say, ‘Their religion will never march with ours.’”

Bukhari:V4B52N288 “Expel disbelievers from the Arabian Peninsula.”

Quran 002.191 “Kill them wherever you find them and drive them out from wherever they have turned you out; for the trials, temptations, and sedition to disbelief are worse than mass murder. And not fight them near al-Masjidi al-Harami until they fight you in it. Then if they fight you, then kill them. Such reward of al-kafir.”

Tabari IX:167 “Muhammad waged war against the false prophets by sending messengers with instructions to get rid of them by artful contrivance [plot or machination].”

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.’”

Quran 021.098 “Certainly! You and that which you are worshipping besides al-Lahi, are the firewood for Hell! You, to it, will come. Quran 021.099 If these were gods, they would not have come to it. And all of them therein will abide forever. Quran 021.100 662For them, therein, breathing out with deep sighs and roaring. And, therein, they will not hear.”

Quran 018.103 “Say, ‘Shall We tell you the greatest losers in respect of deeds? Quran 018.104 Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life while they thought that they were acquiring good by their deeds! Quran 018.105 They are those who deny the proofs, verses, and signs of their Lord and the Meeting with Him. So their works are in vain, and on the Day of Resurrection, we shall not give them any weight. Quran 018.106 That shall be their recompense, Hell; because they disbelieved and took My signs and proofs and My Messengers by way of jest and mockery.’”

Quran 052.009 “(On the) Day the heaven heave in dreadful shaking, the sky trembling, Quran 052.010 and the mountains move away, flying hither and thither, Quran 052.011 then woe that Day to the deniers who rejected, Quran 052.012 who in shallow falsehood, trifling in grave matters. Quran 052.013 (The) Day they will be pushed down by force, thrust with a horrible thrust, to the Fire of Hell, unable to resist. Quran 052.014 This (is) the Fire, which you used to deny! Quran 052.015 Then is this magic, a fake, or (do) you not see? Quran 052.016 Roast therein, taste its heat, burn and bear it. (It is the) same whether you (bear it) patiently or impatiently.’”

Quran 040.010 “Lo, those who disbelieve will be cried out, ‘Certainly, al-Lahi’s aversion greater towards you than your hatred (of) yourselves when called to Faith but disbelieved.’”

Quran 040.035 “Those who dispute about the signs of To-Him without any authority that (has) come to them. It is greatly hateful and disgusting To Him and near those who believe. Thus For Him sets a seal over every heart of an arrogant lord.”

Ishaq:185 “Adam reviewed the spirits of his offspring. The infidels excited his disgust. Then I saw men with lips like camels. In their hands were pieces of fire-like stones which they thrust into their mouths. They came out their posteriors. I was told they sinfully devoured the wealth of orphans. Then I saw women hanging by their breasts. These were those who had fathered bastards on their husbands.”

Quran 020.048 “Lo! Verily, it has been revealed to us that the punishment is on who denies and turns away.”’

663Quran 021.010 “Lo, we have sent down for you a Book in which there is reminder. Have you no sense? How many towns have we utterly destroyed because of their wrongs, exchanging them for other people? When they (felt) our torment, behold, they (began to) fly. Fly not, but return to that which emasculated you so that you may be interrogated. They cried: ‘Woe to us!’ Their crying did not cease till we mowed them down as ashes silent and quenched.”

Quran 059.004 That because they, themselves, are opposed to al-Laha and His Rasulahu. And whoever opposed al-Laha, then, lo, verily, al-Laha’s penalty is severe.”

Ishaq:249 “The Apostle calls you to the truth about which there is no doubt. And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down to him or in doubt about what he says, then produce a surah like it and summon witnesses other than Allah. But you won’t because you can’t, for the truth is beyond doubt. Fear Hell, whose fuel is men and stones prepared for the infidels.’”

Quran 002.039 “And those who disbelieved, who rejected and denied our signs, those inmates of the Hell-Fire, abiding forever.”

Quran 002.099 “Verily, We have sent down to you Manifest Signs (which inform in detail about the Jews and their secret plots); and none disbelieve in them but those who are perverse miscreants, defiantly disobedient.”

Quran 002.174 “Lo, those who conceal what revealed al-Lahu of the Book and they purchase there with a little gain, and thus make a miserable profit thereby, those not they eat in their bellies except the Fire and not will speak to them al-Lahu the Judgment Day. And not he will purify them. For them a painful punishment. Quran 002.175 Those, they who bartered the straying for the guidance and the tormenting punishment for the forgiveness. So what their endurance on the Fire! Quran 002.176 That because al-Laha sent down the Book with the truth. And lo, those who differed in the Book, surely in far schism.”

Quran 002.256 “No compulsion in the religion. Lo, has become distinct the right from the wrong. Then whoever disbelieves in false deities and believes in il-Lahi, then lo, verily, he grasped the handhold the firm not break for it. And al-Lahu hearing, knowing.”

664Quran 004.090 “If they turn back from Islam, becoming renegades, seize them and kill them wherever you find them.”

Bukhari:V5B59N572 “Muslims, take not my enemies as friends, offering them kindness when they reject Allah, the Prophet Muhammad, and his Quran. And whoever does that, then indeed he has gone astray. You have come out to fight in my Cause, seeking my acceptance so do not be friendly with them, even in secret.”

Ishaq:231 “The document stated reciprocal obligations: ‘In the name of Allah, Ar-Rahman, and Ar-Rahim. This is a treaty from Muhammad, the Prophet, governing relations between Muslims. They are one ummah (community) to the exclusion of all men.”

Ishaq:363 “Say to those who do not believe you: ‘You will be vanquished and gathered into Hell, an evil resting place. You have already had a sign by way of the two forces which met, the Apostle’s Companions and the Quraysh. One side fought in Allah’s Cause. Verily that was an example for the discerning.’”

Quran 061.007 “And who (is) more wrong than who invents the lie against al-Lahi while he is being invited to al-Is’lami | the Submission of Islam?

Quran 003.004 “From before guidance for the mankind, revealed the Criterion. Lo! Those who disbelieve in the verses, signs, and proofs al-Lahi, for them a severe and painful punishment. And al-Lahu All-Mighty, fully capable of revenge.”

Quran 003.010 “Lo, those who disbelieved [Islam], never will avail them their wealth nor their children against al-Lahi anything. And those, they fuel, the faggots for the fire of Hell. Quran 003.011 Like behavior people of Firaun and those who from before them. They denied Our Signs so seized them al-Lahu for their sins. And al-Lahu severe the punishment. Quran 003.012 Say to those who disbelieved, ‘You will be overcome and you will be gathered to Hell, an evil resting place.’”

Quran 003.055 “When said al-Lahu, ‘O ‘Isa, lo, I take you and raise you to myself and purify you from those who disbelieved and I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieved on Day of the Resurrection. Then to Me your return and I will judge between you about what you were in it differing.’ Quran 003.056 665Then as for those who disbelieved then I will punish them (with) a terrible agony, in the world and the after.”

Quran 003.059 “Lo, likeness Isa near al-Lahi like likeness Adama. He created him from dust then He said to him, “Be” and he was.’ Quran 003.060 The truth from your Rabbi | Lord, so do not be among the doubters. Quran 003.061 Then whoever argues you concerning it from after what came to you of the knowledge then say, ‘Come let us call our sons and your sons and our women and your women and ourselves and yourselves then let us pray and invoke the curse of al-Lahi on the liars.’ Quran 003.062 Lo, this verily it, the narration the true. And no from god but al-Lahu.”

Quran 003.084 “Say, ‘We believed in il-Lahi and what revealed on us and what was revealed on Ib’rahima and Is’ma’ila, and Is’haqa, and Ya’quba and the descendants and what was given Musa and ‘Isa and al-nabiyuna | the prophets from Rabbihim | their Lord. Not we make distinction between any of them and we to Him Mus’limuna | submissive muslims. Quran 003.085 And whoever seeks other than al-Islaami | the Islam religion, then never will be accepted from him and he in the after from the losers. Quran 003.087 Those, their recompense that on them curse al-Lahi and the angels and the people all together. Quran 003.088 Abide forever in it. Not will be lightened for them the punishment and not they will find a reprieve or intermission.”

Quran 003.118 “Believer, not take intimates from other than yourselves not they will spare you ruin. They wish what distress you. Lo, apparent the hatred from their mouths and what conceals their breasts greater. Lo, We made clear for you the signs, proofs, or verses if you were reason. Quran 003.119 Verily, those you love them but not they love you and you believe in the Book, all of it. And when they meet you they say, ‘We believe,” and when they are alone they bite at you the finger tips of rage. Say, ‘Die in your rage.’”

Quran 003.141 “Allah’s object is to purge those that are true in Faith and blight the disbelievers. This is so that Allah may test the faithful and destroy the unbelieving infidels.”

Quran 003.150 “And We will cast ru’ba | terror into the hearts of the disbelievers because they associated partners, friends, and coworkers with Il-Lahi, which is contrary to what He sent down 666under His authority. So their refuge the Fire – the evil and wretched abode of the disbelievers.”

Quran 033.008 “And He has determined and prepared for the kafir | ungrateful concealers (disbelievers) ‘adhaban aliman | a chastising and castigating torturous punishment which is exceedingly painful.”

Quran 033.058 “And those who annoy or malign Muslims bear (on themselves) a crime of calumny and a glaring sin.”

Quran 023.040 “He said, After a little while surely they will become regretful. Quran 023.041 So seized them the awful cry in truth and we made them rubbish of dead leaves. So away with the people, the zalim. Quran 023.042 Then we produced after them a generation another.”

Quran 038.003 “How many We destroyed before them of a generation? Then they cried out when it was too late for escape. Quran 038.004 They wondered and were surprised that a warner had come to them from among themselves. And the disbelievers say, ‘This is a sorcerer, a charlatan, a wizard telling lies. Quran 038.005 He has made the gods into one God. Lo, this is a curious and strange thing to be sure.’ Quran 038.006 And came forth their leaders among them, ‘Continue and be patient and attached over your gods. Indeed, this is certainly an intentional thing with something sought after with an ulterior motive. Quran 038.007 We never heard of it in the former faith. This is nothing by an inventive forgery, a made-up tale and fabrication. What! Has this been sent to him?’ Nay, but they are in doubt about My reminder (this Quran). Nay, but they have not tasted torment yet! Let them climb up ladders to the heavens. They will be one more army vanquished among the many routed hordes.... They rejected my Messengers so my Torment was justified.”

Quran 052.029 “Therefore remind for not you by grace of your Lord a vulgar soothsayer nor a possessed madman.” [Another 667translation reads:] “Therefore warn (Muhammad). By the grace of Allah you are neither soothsayer nor madman.”

Quran 052.030 “Or they say, ‘A poet! We wait for him a misfortune of time, a misfortune of time.’ Do they say: He is a poet from whom we expect an adverse turn of fortune?”

Quran 052.032 “Is it that their mental faculties of understanding urge them to this, or command them their minds this or they a people outrageous and inordinate? Quran 052.033 Or they say, ‘He has fabricated and forged it? Nay, not they believe. Let them then produce a recital like unto it, if they speak the truth! Quran 052.038 Or for them a stairway they listen therewith? Then let bring their listener an authority clear.”

Quran 052.040 “Or you ask from them a payment so they from a debt overburdened? Quran 052.041 Or with them the unseen so they write down? Quran 052.042 Or they intend a plot? But those who disbelieve themselves the plot. Quran 052.043 Or for them a god other than al-Lahi? Glory be al-Lahi from what they associate.”

Ishaq:155 “Khadija was the first to believe in Allah and His Apostle. By her Allah lightened the burden on His Prophet. He never met with contradiction and charges of falsehood but he was comforted by her when he went home. She strengthened him and belittled the opposition.”

Bukhari:V4B54N440 “The Prophet said, ‘Aisha, this is Gabriel. He sends his greetings and salutations to you.’ Aisha replied, ‘Salutations and greetings to him.’ Then addressing the Prophet she said, ‘You see what I don't see.’”

Quran 074.021 “Then he looked around and thought, Quran 074.022 then he frowned and puckered his brow, scowling in displeasure. Quran 074.023 Then he turned back and was proud, Quran 074.024 and said, ‘This is nothing but magical enchantment narrated from others. Quran 074.025 This is nothing but the word of a mortal. Quran 074.026 I will cast him into the Hell-Fire! Quran 074.027 And what will make you know exactly what Hell-Fire is? Quran 074.028 It leaves nothing and spares naught. Quran 074.029 Burning the skins, scorching the mortal. Quran 074.030 Over it are nineteen. Quran 074.031 And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire, and We have fixed their number only as a contentious trial for the disbelievers, in order that the people of the 668Book may arrive at a certainty and the believers may increase in Faith and that no doubts may be left for the people of the Book and the believers, and that those skeptics and infidels in whose hearts is a disease and the disbelievers may say: ‘What does God intend by this example and parable?’ Thus, this is how God leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none can know the armies of your Lord save He. And this is nothing else than a reminder to mankind. Quran 074.032 Nay, I swear by the Moon.”

Quran 074.049 “Why now turn they away from admonition Quran 074.050 as if they were frightened asses Quran 074.051 fleeing from a lion, or beast hunting them? Quran 074.052 Nay, every one of them desires that he should be given pages spread out! Quran 074.053 Nay! By no means.”

Ishaq:118 “Muhammad is trying to bewitch you.’ With that the Quraysh got up and left before the Messenger could speak. The following day they gathered again. This time the Apostle said, ‘Kinsmen, I know of no Arab who has come to his people with a nobler message than mine. I have brought you the best of this world and the next.’”

Ishaq:119 “‘Abu Tabib, your nephew has cursed our gods [including Allah], insulted our religion [actually, insulted us by stealing our religion], mocked our way of life and accused our forefathers of error. Either you stop him or let us get to him. For you, like us, are in opposition to him. He gave them a conciliatory reply. [Which means he agreed with them.] ‘We have asked you to put a stop to your nephew’s activities but you have not done so. By Allah, we cannot endure having our fathers reviled and our customs mocked.’ Muhammad thought that his uncle had the idea of abandoning and betraying him, and that he was going to lose his support. The Apostle broke into tears. The situation worsened. The quarrel became heated, and the Meccans were sharply divided. Every tribe fell upon the Muslims, seducing them from their religion. But Allah protected his Prophet through his uncle.”

Tabari VI:93 “The Quraysh went to Abu Talib and said, ‘Your nephew has reviled our gods, denounced our religion, derided our traditional values, and told us that our forefathers were misguided [and burning in hell]. Either curb his attacks on us or give us a free hand to deal with him, for you are as opposed to him as we are.’ They said, ‘We asked you to forbid your nephew from attacking us, 669but you did nothing. By Allah, we can no longer endure this vilification of our forefathers, this derision of our traditional values, and this abuse of our gods.’ This breach and enmity with his tribe weighed heavily on Talib. ‘Abu Talib, you are our elder and our chief, so give us justice against your nephew and order him to desist from reviling our gods, and we will leave him to his god.’”

Tabari VI:95 “Abu Talib sent for Muhammad. ‘Nephew, here are the shaykhs and nobles of your tribe. They have asked for justice against you. You should desist from reviling their gods and they will leave you to your god.’ ‘Uncle,’ he said, ‘shall I not summon them to something which is better than their gods?’”

Tabari VI:96 “Abu Talib said to Muhammad, ‘Nephew, how is it that your tribe is complaining of you and claiming that you are reviling their gods and saying this, that, and the other?’ The Messenger said, ‘I want them to utter one saying. If they say it, the Arabs will submit to them and the non-Arabs will pay the jizyah.”

Ishaq:121 “‘If we say contradictory things about Muhammad, we might lose our credibility. Therefore, let us agree upon one criticism, which we can all claim without dispute. Some say that we should call Muhammad a deranged soothsayer. But is his the incoherent speech of a madman? [Yes] Some say he is possessed. But there is no choking, spasmodic movements, or whispering.’ [Actually, this is how Muhammad said that he endured revelations.] Others said, ‘Then let’s say he is a poet.’ ‘No, he is no poet. We know poetry in its forms.’ [Muhammad’s Quran poetry was identical to that of the Hanif Zayd.] Then they said: ‘He is a sorcerer.’ ‘No, we have seen sorcerers and their sorcery. With him there is no spitting and no blowing.’ [There are dozens of Hadith depicting Muhammad spitting and blowing to exorcize illness and evil spells.] ‘Then what are we to say, for by Allah, his speech is sweet, his root is deep and his branches are fruitful.’”

Ishaq:121 “The nearest thing to the truth is that he is a sorcerer who has brought a message by which he separates a man from his father, his brother, his wife, children and family.’ They all agreed. Then, according their scheme, the men of Quraysh spread the word that ‘this is nothing but ancient sorcery’ among the pilgrims in the hajj season. They warned everyone they met that Muhammad was a possessed sorcerer, stirring up divisions in the families.”

670Ishaq:130 “When the Quraysh became distressed by the trouble caused by the Apostle they called him a liar, insulted him, and accused him of being a poet, a sorcerer, a diviner [occult soothsayer], and of being possessed. However, the Apostle continued to proclaim what Allah had ordered him to proclaim. He excited their dislike by condemning their religion, forsaking their idols, and leaving them to their unbelief.”

Ishaq:116 “I heard the Apostle say, ‘I have never invited anyone to accept Islam who hasn’t has shown signs of reluctance, suspicion and hesitation.’”

Quran 070.036 “What is the matter with the disbelievers that they keep staring at you and rush madly toward you?”

Quran 068.001 “Nun. By the pen and that which they write. Quran 068.002 You are not, by the Rabb’s grace, a possessed madman. Quran 068.003 And lo, for you will be an unending reward. Quran 068.004 And lo, you are on an exalted standard of character of sublime morality. Quran 068.005 You will see, and they will see, Quran 068.006 who is afflicted with madness. Quran 068.007 Lo, your Lord knows better who have gone astray from His way, and He knows those who are guided. Quran 068.008 So obey not the deniers and rejecters. Quran 068.009 They would have you compromise and relent, so that thy may be pliant. Quran 068.010 And obey not a contemptible swearer or feeble oath-monger, Quran 068.011 slanderer, backbiter, defamer, going about with slander and calumnies, Quran 068.012 hinderer of good, a transgressor, a malcontent, Quran 068.013 crude and cruel, greedy and violent, mean, intrusive, bastards, Quran 068.014 because he had wealth and children. Quran 068.015 When our revelations you recite to him, he says, ‘These are fables of long ago.’ Quran 068.016 We will brand him on the nose.”

Ishaq:180 “According to my information, the Apostle often sat by a young Christian slave named Jabr. The Meccans said, ‘He is the one who teaches Muhammad most of what he brings.’ Then 671Allah revealed, Quran 016.103 ‘We know what they say: “It is only a mortal man who teaches him. But the tongue of the man they wickedly point to is notably foreign, while this is pure Arabic.’”

Quran 016.103 “When we replace a message with another, and Allah knows best what He reveals, they say: ‘You have made it up.’”

Quran 068.051 “And lo, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes through hatredness when they hear the reminder, and they say, ‘Verily, he is possessed and mad!’”

Quran 081.022 “And not your companion mad or possessed, Quran 081.023 for surely, he saw him in the horizon clear. Quran 081.024 And not he on the unseen a withholder or a tenacious concealer. Quran 081.025 And not it word of Satan accursed.”

Quran 006.066 “The people reject this and call it a lie though it is the truth.’ ...When you see men who meddle with our revelations, turn away, withdrawing from them. Satan makes you forget.”

Quran 047.016 “And among them who listen to you until when they depart from you. They say to those who were given the knowledge, ‘What did he say just now?’ Those the ones al-Lahu has set a seal upon their hearts and they follow their desires.”

Quran 009.061 “Gabriel came to Muhammad and said, ‘If a black man comes to you his heart is more gross than a donkey’s.’”

Quran 009.064 “The Hypocrites are afraid that a surah will be sent down about them, showing them what is in their hearts. Say: ‘Go ahead, scoff and mock, will you! Lo, Allah is disclosing what you fear.’ If you question them, they declare: ‘We were only talking idly, jesting in play.’ Say: ‘Was it at Allah and His proofs, signs, verses, lessons, and Messenger that you were mocking?’”

Tabari VIII:173 & Ishaq:547 “Alas, Sufyan, isn’t it time for you to admit that I am the Messenger of Allah?’ Sufyan replied, ‘As to that I have some doubt.’”

Quran 005.064 “The Jews say: ‘Allah’s hands are fettered.’”

672Quran 005.104 “When it is said to them: ‘Come to what Allah has revealed; come to the Messenger.’ They say: ‘Enough for us are the ways we found our fathers following.’ What! Even though their fathers were void of knowledge and guidance?”

Tabari IX:36 & Ishaq:596 “‘Prophet, this group of Ansar have a grudge against you for what you did with the booty and how you divided it among you own people.’ ‘Ansar, what is this talk I hear from you? What is the grudge you harbor in your hearts against me? Do you think ill of me? Did I not come to you when you were erring and needy, and then made rich by Allah?’ ‘You came to us discredited, when your message was rejected by the Quraysh, and we believed you. You were forsaken and deserted and we assisted you. You were a fugitive and we took you in, sheltering you. You were poor and in need, and we comforted you.”

Tabari IX:187 “When the Prophet died, Umar stood up threatening the people, saying, ‘Some of the hypocrites allege that the Messenger of Allah is dead. I swear by Allah that he is alive, not dead. By Allah, the Prophet will return and he will go after those who are spreading lies about him. He will cut off the hands and the feet of those who claim that he is dead. He will crucify them.’”

Bukhari:V5B59N733 “Bakr saw that Umar would not listen. He went forward. ‘I swear by the Lord of the Ka’aba that Muhammad is gone. Those people who formerly worshipped Muhammad must know that the deity you worshiped is dead. Those who formerly worshipped Allah must know that Allah is still alive and immortal.’”

Quran 076.004 “Verily, we have prepared for the kafir | reconciled iron chains, shackles, collars, and a blazing Fire. Quran 077.039 So if there is for you a plan or plot, then plan and scheme against Me. Quran 077.040 Woe to the deniers that Day.”

Quran 078.028 “And they denied our signs (with) denial, Quran 078.029 And everything We have enumerated a writing. Quran 078.030 So taste. And never will We increase you anything except more tormenting punishment.”

Quran 083.010 “Woe, that Day to the deniers, Quran 083.011 Those who deny (the) Day (of) the Judgment, Quran 083.012 And none can deny it except every disbelieving transgressor exceeding 673the bounds, Quran 083.013 When are recited to him our verses, he says, ‘Stories (of) the former (people).’”

Quran 083.029 “Lo, those criminals used to laugh at those who believed. Quran 083.030 And when they passed by them, they winked at one another, Quran 083.031 and when they returned to their people, they would resume jesting, Quran 083.032 and when they saw them, they said, ‘Lo, these surely have gone astray.’ Quran 083.033 But they had not been sent (as) guards over them. Quran 083.034 So today, those who believed at the disbelievers will laugh, Quran 083.035 on the thrones, witnessing. Quran 083.036 Have the disbelievers been rewarded for what they used to do?”

Quran 084.020 “So what (is the matter) with them (that) they do not believe? Quran 084.021 When the Quran is recited to them, they do not fall prostrate. Quran 084.022 Nay! Those who disbelieve deny, disavow, and belie, rejecting. Quran 084.023 And al-Lahu knows what they secrete, hiding within themselves. Quran 084.024 So give them the tidings of a painful punishment, a grievous doom.”

Quran 086.015 “Lo, they are plotting a plot. Quran 086.016 But I am planning a plan and scheming a scheme (too).”

Tabari VI:98 “The situation deteriorated, hostility became bitter, and people withdrew from one another, displaying open hatred. The Meccan chiefs conspired to seduce their sons, brothers, and clansmen away from the new religion. It was a trial which severely shook the Muslims who had followed the Prophet. Some were seduced. Muhammad commanded Muslims to emigrate to Abyssinia.”

Tabari VI:98 “The main body went to Abyssinia because of the coercion they were being subjected to in Mecca. His fear was that they would be seduced from their religion. There is a difference of opinion as to the number of those who emigrated in stealth and secret. Some say there were eleven men and four women. …Ibn Ishaq claims there were ten.”

Tabari VI:101 “The Messenger remained in Mecca preaching in secret and openly, protected by his uncle Abu Talib. When the Quraysh saw that they had no means of attacking him physically [The old guy was either formidable or the disbelievers were feeble.], they accused him of sorcery, soothsaying, and madness, 674and of being a poet. They began to keep those away from him whom they feared might listen and follow him.”

Ishaq:130 & Tabari VI:101 “‘The nastiest thing I saw the Quraysh do to the Messenger occurred when their nobles assembled in the Hijr. They discussed Muhammad, saying, “We have never seen the kind of trouble we have endured from this fellow. He has derided our traditional values, declared our way of life foolish, abused and insulted our forefathers, reviled our religion, caused division among us, divided the community, and cursed our gods. We have endured a great deal from him.’ While they were saying this, the Apostle walked up and kissed the Black Stone. Then he performed the circumambulation of the Ka’aba. As he did they said some injurious things about him. I could see from the Messenger’s face that he had heard them. When he passed a second time they made similar remarks. When he passed them the third time, the Prophet stopped and said, ‘Hear me Quraysh. By Him who holds Muhammad’s life in his hand, I will bring you slaughter.’”

Tabari VI:102 “‘They were gripped by what he had said. The word he used struck people so not one could move. It was as though everyone had a bird perched on his head. Even those who had been urging the severest measures against him, now spoke in a conciliatory way, using the politest expressions they could muster. They said, ‘Depart Abu al-Qasim [Muhammad’s real name]; for by Allah, you were never violent.’”

Tabari VI:102 “The Prophet left and the next day they gathered in the Hijr. I (Abdallah) was again present. ‘You were talking about the unpleasantness which you endured and the things Muhammad has done, but when he said something disagreeable you shrank from him.’”

Ishaq:143 “When they heard the Quran they said in mockery, ‘Our hearts are veiled, we do not understand what he is saying. There is a load in our ears.’ Then Allah revealed, ‘And when you recite the Quran we put between you and those who do not believe a hidden veil. They turn in aversion.’ When in secret counsel, the mockers say, ‘They are following a man bewitched.’”

675Tabari VI:106 “Revelation from Allah came to the Prophet continuously, commanding and threatening those who showed hostility to him, and vindicating him against the opposition.”

Quran 021.002 “Never comes not to them a reminder from their Lord but they listen to it while they jest and play. Quran 021.003 With hearts trifling with frivolity, those who do wrong conceal their private counsels, ‘Is this (Muhammad) more than a human being like you? Will you succumb and submit to witchcraft and enchanting sorcery when you see (it)? Quran 021.004 He said, ‘My Lord knows every word in the heavens and on earth. And He is Hearer, Knower.’ Quran 021.005 Nay, they say, ‘These are mixed up, muddled, and false dreams! Nay, he has invented it! Nay, he is a poet! Let him then bring us a sign, some proof, like the ones that were sent before.’ Quran 021.006 Not one of the towns of those which We destroyed believed before them, will they then believe?”

Quran 021.024 “Or have they taken for worship gods besides Him? Say, ‘Bring your proof.’ This is the reminder for those with me and the reminder for those before me. But most of them know not the truth, so they are averse. Quran 021.025 We did not send any Messenger before you but we inspired him that there is no god but I so worship me. Quran 021.036 When the unbelievers see you they make fun of you, mocking you, ridiculing you and scoffing at you. ‘Is this the one who mentions your gods?’ And they would deny all mention of Ar-Rahman, disbelieving him!”

Quran 021.041 “Mocked were messengers before you, but the scoffers were surrounded by their ridicule. Say: ‘Who can protect you from Ar-Rahman?’ Yet they turn away from the mention of their Lord. Have they gods who can defend them against us?”

Ishaq:132-3 “Utba said, ‘If what you want is money, we will gather some of our property so that you may be the richest man in town. If you want honor, we will make you a chief so that no one can decide anything apart from you. If you want sovereignty, we will make you king. And if this demonic spirit which has possession of you is such that you cannot get rid of him, we will find a physician for you, and exhaust our means trying to cure you. For often a demonic spirit gets possession of a man, but he can be rid of it.’ The apostle listened patiently.”

676Ishaq:134 “‘Muhammad if you don’t accept our offer then ask your Lord to give us the land and water we lack, for we are shut in by these mountains, we have no river, and none live a harder life than we do. If you speak the truth, resurrect Qusayy for us for he was a true shaikh, so that we may ask him whether what you say is accurate. If you do this we will believe you and know that God has sent you as an apostle as you claim. Well then at least ask your god to send an angel to confirm your depictions of paradise and give you the mansions and gold you obviously crave. If not that, then send us the Day of Doom you threaten us with, for we will not believe you until you perform a miracle. Why doesn’t your god help you? Didn’t he know that we were going to present you with these opportunities to prove yourself? Listen, Muhammad; we know the truth. Information has reached us that you are taught by this fellow in Yemen called al-Rahman. By Allah, we will never believe in Ar-Rahman. Alright then, our conscience is clear.’ When they said this the Prophet got up and left.”

Ishaq:135 “‘Muhammad, your people have made certain propositions… They asked you for things so that they might know that your position with god is as you say it is so that they might believe and follow you, and yet you did nothing. They even asked you to hasten the punishment you are frightening them with, but you could not do it.’ The Prophet went to Khadija, sad and grieving.

Ishaq:136 “Ask him about the Mighty Traveler who reached the confines of both East and West. Ask him what the spirit is. And ask him what happened to the men who disappeared in ancient days. If he does not know he is a rogue, a forger, so treat him as you will. So Muhammad said to the emissaries, ‘I will give you the answers tomorrow.’ But the Apostle waited for fifteen days without a revelation from God on the matter, nor did Gabriel come to him, so the people of Mecca began to spread evil reports.”

Tabari VI:106 “The Quraysh promised Muhammad that they would give him so much wealth that he would become the richest man in Mecca [money], they would give him as many wives as he wanted [sex], and they would submit to his commands [power]. The Quraysh said, ‘This is what we will give you, Muhammad, so desist from reviling our gods and do not speak evilly of them. If you will do so, we offer you something which will be to your advantage and to ours.’ ‘What is it,’ Muhammad asked. They said, ‘If you will 677worship our gods, al-Lat and al-Uzza, for a year, we shall worship your god for a year.’”

Ishaq:162 “Abu Jahl met the Apostle and said, ‘By Allah, Muhammad, you will either stop cursing our gods or we will curse the god you serve.’ So the Quran verse was revealed, ‘Do not insult those to whom they pray lest they curse God wrongfully through lack of knowledge.’ I have been told that the Apostle then refrained from cursing their gods, and began to call them to Allah [rather than Ar-Rahman].”

Tabari VI:107 & Ishaq:165 “Walid, As, Aswad, and Umayyah said, ‘Muhammad, come and let us worship that which you worship and you worship what we worship. We shall combine in the matter and shall make you a partner in all our undertakings. If what you have brought is better than what we already have, we will be partners with you and take our share, and if what we have is better than what you have, you shall be a partner with us in what we have, and you shall have your share of it. ‘Let me see what revelation comes to me from my Lord [not Allah],’ he replied.”

Tabari VI:107 “Satan Cast a False Revelation on the Messenger of Allah’s Tongue. The Messenger was eager for the welfare of his people and wished to effect reconciliation with them in whatever way he could. It is said he wanted to find a way to do this, and what happened was as follows, Tabari VI:108 & Ishaq:165 The Messenger saw his tribe turn on him. He was pained to see them shunning the message he had brought. So he [abandoned both his message and his god because he] longed for something that would reconcile his tribe to him. With his anxiety over this it would have delighted him if the obstacle which had made his task so difficult could be removed [and accept their offer of power, sex, and money]. So Muhammad debated with himself and fervently desired such an outcome. Then Allah revealed: ‘By the Star when it sets, your comrade does not err, nor is he deceived; nor does he speak out of his own desire. [In truth, he did all three and was about to prove his guilt.] And when he came to the words: “Have you thought about al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat,” Satan, when he was meditating upon it and desiring to bring reconciliation, cast on his tongue, because of his inner longings and what he desired, the words: “These are exalted high-flying cranes (goddesses). Verily their intercession is accepted with approval.”’”

678Tabari VI:108 & Ishaq:166 “When the Quraysh heard this, they rejoiced and were delighted at the way he spoke of their gods, and they listened to him. While the Muslims, trusting their Prophet in respect to the messages which he brought, did not suspect him of a vain desire or slip. When he came to the prostration, having completed the surah, he prostrated himself and the Muslims did likewise, obeying his command and following his example.”

Tabari VI:108 & Ishaq:166 “Those polytheists of the Quraysh and others who were in the mosque likewise prostrated themselves because of the reference to their gods which they had heard, so that there was no one in the mosque, believer or unbeliever, who did not prostrate himself. Then they all dispersed from the mosque.”

Tabari VI:109 & Ishaq:167 “The news of this prostration reached those of the Messenger’s Companions who were in Abyssinia. The people said, ‘The Quraysh have accepted Islam.’ Some rose up to return. Then angel Gabriel came to the Messenger and said, ‘Muhammad, what have you done?’” Ishaq:166 “‘You have recited to the people that which I did not bring to you from Allah, and you have said that which He did not say to you.’ The Messenger was grieved and feared Allah greatly. So Allah [not Gabriel] sent a revelation to him, consoling him and making light of the affair [of worldly bargains and Satanic indulgences]. He informed him that there had never been a prophet or messenger before who desired as he desired and wished as he wished but that Satan had cast words into his recitation, as he had interjected them on Muhammad’s tongue and into his desires.”

Ishaq:166 “Then Allah annulled what Satan had cast, and established his verses by telling him that he was like other prophets and messengers.”

Ishaq:166 “Every Messenger or Prophet before you recited the message Satan cast into his recitation. Allah abrogates what Satan casts. Then Allah established his verses.” (Quran 022.052)

Quran 022.052 “And never did We send from before you out of a messenger and not a prophet, but, when he recited, the Adversary, Satan, projected and ascribed within, proposing and offering something included in his recital. But For Him abolishes what the Adversary, Satan throws in, projects and ascribes, 679proposes and offers. Then, For Him will establish His Verses. And For Him, Knower, Wise.”

Quran 053.001 “By the Star when it goes down and sets, Quran 053.002 Your Companion has not strayed nor has he erred, being confused, deceived, nor misled. Quran 053.003 Nor does he speak from the desire. Quran 053.004 Not it except a revelation revealed. Quran 053.005 Has taught him by the mighty power and supreme intellect. Quran 053.006 Vigorous, endued with wisdom, the Lord of strength, and free of defect in body or mind, he rose and grew, coming into view in stately form. Quran 053.007 And reached the highest pinnacle on the uppermost horizon, Quran 053.008 then he drew near, closer, approaching, Quran 053.009 until a space two bow, or nearer. Quran 053.010 So he revealed to his slave what he revealed. Quran 053.011 The heart not lie what it saw. Quran 053.012 Will you dispute with him about what he saw? Quran 053.013 And certainly he saw him another descent. Quran 053.014 Near Lote Tree the utmost boundary. Quran 053.015 Near it the garden of demonic abode, Quran 053.016 When the Lote Tree covered what covers, Quran 053.017 the sight swerved not and did not transgress. Quran 053.018 Certainly, he saw his Lord’s greatest signs. Quran 053.019 Have you considered al-Lat and al-Uzza, Quran 053.020 and Manat, the third and the other? Quran 053.021 Are there males for you and for him females? Quran 053.022 That is an unfair apportioning. Quran 053.025 They follow nothing but conjecture and what they themselves desire. Whereas guidance has come to them from their Lord.”

Quran 053.056 “This, a warner, from the former the warners. Quran 053.057 Has approached the Approaching Day Quran 053.058 Not is for it from besides al-Lahi any remover, Quran 053.059 then of this statement you wonder? Quran 053.060 And you laugh and not weep, Quran 053.061 while you amuse? Quran 053.062 So prostrate Lillahi | to Him as god and worship.”

Tabari VI:110 “When Muhammad brought a revelation from Allah canceling what Satan had cast on the tongue of His Prophet, the Quraysh said, ‘Muhammad has repented of [actually, he reneged on] what he said concerning the position of our gods with Allah. He has altered [the bargain] and brought something else.’ Those two phrases which Satan had cast on Muhammad’s tongue were in the mouth of every polytheist. They became even more ill-680disposed and more violent in their persecution of those of them who had accepted Islam and followed the Messenger.”

Tabari VI:115 “The deaths of Abu Talib and Khadija were a great affliction to the Messenger. After the death of Abu Talib, the Quraysh went to greater lengths in molesting him than they had ever done during his lifetime. One of them even poured dust upon his head. The Prophet said, ‘The Quraysh never did anything unpleasant to me until Abu Talib died.’”

Ishaq:192 “When Abu Talib died, the Messenger went to Ta’if to seek support and protection against his own people. He spoke to them about the requests which he had come to make, (that is,) that they should come to his aid in defense of Islam and take his side against those of his own tribe who opposed him.”

Tabari VI:116 & Ishaq:192 “One of them said, ‘If Allah has sent you, I will tear off the covering of the Ka’aba.’ Another said, ‘Couldn’t God find somebody better than you to send?’ The third added, ‘I shall not speak to you, for if you are Allah’s messenger as you say, you’re too important for me to reply to, and if you’re lying, you’re too despicable to address.’”

Tabari VI:116 & Ishaq:192 “Muhammad left them, despairing of getting any good out of the Thaqif. I have been told that he said to them, ‘If that is your decision, keep it secret and do not tell anyone about it,’ for he did not want his tribe to hear about this matter and be emboldened against him. However, they did not comply with his request, and incited against him their ignorant rabble who reviled him, shouted at him, and hurled stones until a crowd gathered and forced him to take refuge in a garden a long distance from town.”

Tabari VI:118 “The Messenger came back to Mecca and found that its people were more determined to oppose him and to abandon his religion, except for a few weak people who believed in him.”

Quran 040.004 “Dispute not concerning the verses al-Lahi | to Him except those who kafar | cover. So not their movement in the countries deceive you. Quran 040.005 Before them people denied Nuh, and the factions after them and plotted every nation against their messenger to seize him and they disputed by falsehood to refute thereby the truth, so I seized them. Then how was My tormenting penalty?”

681Bukhari: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].’”

Ishaq:184 “Umm, Abu Talib’s daughter, said, ‘The Apostle went on no journey except while he was in my house. He slept in my home that night after he prayed the final night prayer. A little before dawn he woke us, saying, ‘O Umm, I went to Jerusalem.’ He got up to go out and I grabbed hold of his robe and laid bare his belly. I pleaded, ‘Muhammad, don’t tell the people about this for they will know you are lying and will mock you.’ He said, ‘By Allah, I will tell them.’ I told a negress slave of mine, ‘Follow him and listen.’”

Ishaq:183 “Upon hearing this many became renegades who had prayed and joined Islam. Many Muslims gave up their faith. Some went to Abu Bakr and said, ‘What do you think of your friend now? He alleges that he went to Jerusalem last night and prayed there and came back to Mecca.’ Bakr said that they were lying about the Apostle. But they told him that he was in the mosque at this very moment telling the Quraysh about it. Bakr said, ‘If he says so then it must be true. I believe him. And that is more extraordinary than his story at which you boggle.’ Then Allah sent down a Quran surah concerning those who left Islam for this reason: ‘We made the vision which we showed you only, a test for men. We put them in fear, but it only adds to their heinous error.’”

Quran 013.007 “And the disbelievers say: ‘Why has not a sign been sent down to him from his Lord?’”

Quran 013.027 “And say those who disbelieved, ‘Why has not a sign been sent down to him from his Rabbi?’ Say, ‘Lo, al-Laha lets go astray whom He wills and guides to Him who turns back.’”

Quran 013.041 “Do they not see that We come to the Land, advancing from all sides, reducing it? And al-Lahu decides. There is no adjustment of His Judgment. So He is swift (in) the reckoning.”

682Quran 013.043 “And those who disbeliever say, ‘You are not a messenger.’ Say, ‘Sufficient il-Lahi, a Witness between me and between you and whoever has knowledge the writing.’”

Quran 017.059 “And nothing stops Us. We send the proofs and signs, except that the former denied them. And We gave the she-camel to Thamud as a clear and visible sign, but they did her wrong. And We sent not the signs except to warn (of destruction).”

Quran 017.090 “And they say, ‘Never will we believe in you until you cause to gush forth for us from the earth a spring. Quran 017.091 Or, you have for yourself a garden of date palms and grapes and cause to gush forth the rivers within them abundantly. Quran 017.092 Or, you cause the sky to fall as you have claimed upon us in pieces. Or you bring il-Lahi and the angels before. Quran 017.093 Or you have a house of adorable ornaments. Or you ascend up into the sky. And even then, we will put no faith in your ascension until you bring down for us a book that we would read.’”

Ishaq:194 “The Apostle offered himself to the Arab tribes at the fairs whenever an opportunity arose. He used to ask them to believe in him and protect him.” Ishaq:195 “The Apostle stopped by the Arab encampments and told them that he was the Prophet of Allah ordering them to worship Him, to believe in His Messenger, and protect him until Allah made plain His purpose. He went to the tents of the Kinda and offered himself to them, but they declined. He went to the Abdallah clan with the same message, but they would not heed. The Apostle went to the Hanifa, where he met with the worst reception of all. He tried the Amir, but one of them said to him, ‘I suppose you want us to protect you from the Arabs with our lives and then if you prevail, someone else will reap the benefits. Thank you, No!’”

Ishaq:197 “The Apostle heard about Abdul. He asked them if they would like to get something more profitable than their present errand. But they took a handful of dirt and threw it in Muhammad’s face.”

Tabari VI:125 “After the Messenger had spoken to the group from Yathrib they said, ‘Take note. This is the very prophet whom the Jews are menacing us with. Don’t let them find him before we accept him.’ Because of this, they responded to his call and became Muslims.”

683Ishaq:212 “The Quraysh persecuted his followers, seducing some from their religion and exiling others. They became insolent towards Muhammad’s God. They accused His prophet of lying. So He gave permission to His Apostle to fight those who had wronged him. He said in his Quran: ‘Fight them so that there will be no more seduction [i.e., no more exposing Islam’s faults], until no Muslim is seduced from Islam. Fight them until the only religion is Islam and Allah alone is worshiped.’” [Quran 022:040 & Quran 002:198]

Tabari VI:140 “The Quraysh were now anxious about Muhammad going there as they knew he had decided to join them in order to make war on them.”

Ishaq:221 “They deliberated as to what to do about Muhammad as they had come to fear him. ‘Keep him in fetters, lock him up, and wait for the same kind of death to overtake him which overtook other poets of his sort.’ ‘If you imprison him, his followers will attack and snatch him away. Then their numbers will grow so large, they will destroy the authority of the Quraysh.’ ‘Let us expel him from among us and banish him from the land. The harm which he has been doing will disappear, and we shall be rid of him. We shall be able to put our affairs back in order and restore our social harmony.’”

Tabari VI:14 & Ishaq:222 “Among those who had gathered against him was Abu Jahl. He said, while waiting at his door, ‘Muhammad alleges that if we follow him, we shall be kings over the Arabs and Persians. Then after we die fighting for him, we shall be brought back to life and live in gardens like those in Jordan. He also claims that if we do not submit to him, we shall be slaughtered. And after his followers kill us, we shall be brought back to life and thrown into the fires of hell in which we shall burn.’ Allah’s Messenger came out and took a handful of dust and said, ‘Yes, I do say that; and you are one of them.’ Allah took away their sight so that they could not see him. [Just as we have been blinded today.] And Muhammad began to sprinkle the dust [of ignorance and complacency] on their heads while reciting the following verses: ‘Ya Sin. I call to witness the Quran. You are one sent on a straight path…The sentence is justified against most of them, for they do not believe. We will certainly put iron collars on their necks which will come up to their chins so that they will not be able to raise their 684heads. And We have set a barrier before them, and cover them so that they will not be able to see.’” [Quran 036.001]

Quran 020.133 “They say, ‘Why doesn’t he bring us a sign from his Lord?’ Didn’t a sign come to them in the former writing?”

Quran 046.006 “And when men are gathered, they become enemies for them and deny their worshiping. When our signs are rehearsed to them, the unbelievers say: ‘This is evident sorcery! It is a fabrication.’ Quran 046.008 Or do they say, ‘He has forged it?’ Say: ‘If I fabricated it, still you have no power to support me against Allah. He knows best of that whereof you talk (so glibly). Quran 046.009 Say, ‘I am not a new thing among the messengers to come. Nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I only follow that which is revealed to me, and I am but a simple warner.’ Quran 046.010 Say, ‘Tell me, if this is from Allah, and you deny it, and a witness (Abdullah bin Salam) from among the Children of Israel testifies that this Quran is from Allah, so he believed while you spurn it pridefully.’”

Quran 046.022 “They [the burnt parents, the dearly departed warners, the sand dunes, or the roastees of Ad] said, ‘If you have come in order to turn us away from our gods then bring upon us what (calamity) you threaten if you are telling the truth.’”

Ishaq:191 “Abu Jahl with sundry other notables went to Talib and said, ‘We acknowledge your rank, but now that you are near death we are deeply concerned. You know the trouble that exists between us and your nephew, so call him and let us make an agreement that he will leave us alone and we will leave him alone.’ The Messenger arrived and Abu Jahl said, ‘Nephew, these noble men have come to give you something and gain something in return.’ Muhammad said, ‘Can you give me words by which you can rule the Arabs and subject the Persians to you?’ ‘How about ten words,’ Abu Jahl said [knowing the drill]. Muhammad replied, ‘You must say, “There is no ilah but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger.”’ They clapped their hands and said, ‘Do you want to make all the Ilahs into one Ilah, Muhammad? That would be an extraordinary thing.’”

Ishaq:284 “I am amazed at the causes of anger and folly and at those who stir up strife by lying controversy. They abandon our fathers’ ways. They come with lies to twist our minds. But their lies 685cannot confound the wise. If you give up your raids we will take you back for you are our cousins, our kin. But they chose to believe Muhammad and became obstinately contentious. All their deeds became evil.”

Tabari VII:2 & Ishaq:288 “The Quraysh said, ‘Muhammad and his companions have violated the sacred month, shed blood, seized property, and taken men captive.’ The polytheists spread lying slander concerning him, saying, ‘Muhammad claims that he is following obedience to Allah, yet he is the first to violate the holy month and kill our companion in Rajab.’”

Tabari VII:21 “The Muslims who were in Mecca refuted this.”

Ishaq:288 “The Jews, seeing in this an omen unfavorable to Muhammad, said, ‘Muslims killing Meccans means war is kindled.’ There was much talk of this. However, Allah turned it to their disadvantage. When the Muslims repeated what the Jews had said, al-Lahi revealed a Quran to His Messenger: ‘They question you with regard to warfare and fighting in the sacred month. Say, “War therein is serious, but keeping people from al-Lahi’s Way and disbelief in Him, and al-Masjidi al-Harami, and driving out its people from it, greater al-Lahi. And oppression greater than killing. And they will not cease fighting with you until they turn you away from your religion if they are able. And whoever turns away among you from his religion, then dies while he is a disbeliever, for those become worthless their deeds in the world and the hereafter. And those the companions of the Fire. They in it will abide forever. The Muslims now knew that seduction was worse than killing.”

Ishaq:239 “About this time Jewish rabbis showed hostility to the Apostle in envy, hatred, and malice, because Allah had chosen His Apostle from the Arabs. The Jews considered the Prophet a liar and strove against Islam. The Aus and Khazraj joined the Jews by obstinately clinging to their heathen religion. They were hypocrites. When Islam appeared and their people flocked to it, they were compelled to pretend to accept it to save their lives.”

Ishaq:239 “Jewish rabbis used to annoy the Apostle with questions, introducing confusion.”

Ishaq:244 “Hatib was a sturdy man steeped in paganism. Yazid, his son, was one of the best Muslims when he was disabled by wounds. At the point of death, Muslims said, ‘Rejoice, son of 686Hatib, in the thought of Paradise!’ Then his father’s hypocrisy showed itself. He said, ‘Humph! It is a Garden of Rue. You have sent my son to his death by your deception.’ Concerning him, Allah said: ‘Argue not on behalf of those who deceive themselves. Allah does not love a sinful deceiver.’” (Quran 004.107)

Ishaq:256 “The Jews used to ask Muhammad questions which annoyed and confused him.” Ishaq:257 “Your situation seems obscure to us, Muhammad.”

Ishaq:257 “‘O Jews, fear Allah and submit, for you used to hope for the Messiah’s help against the Arabs when we were pagans. You told us that he would be sent and then told us about him.’ A Jew responded, ‘Muhammad has not shown us anything we recognize as prophetic. He is not the one we spoke to you about.’ So Allah revealed, ‘We confirmed what they had, and We sent one they recognized, but they rejected him so We are cursing them.’ The Jews replied, ‘No Covenant was ever made with us about Muhammad.’ ‘Muhammad, you have not brought anything we recognize. And God has not sent down any sign or miracle suggesting that we should believe you.’ So Allah said, ‘We have sent down to you plain signs and only evildoers disbelieve them.’”

Ishaq:257 “The Jews told Allah’s Messenger, ‘Bring us a book. Bring us something down from heaven that we might read it.’”

Ishaq:258 “The Jews used to turn men away from Islam. So Allah said, ‘The Scripture folk wish to make you unbelievers after you have believed. They are envious. But be indulgent until Allah gives you his orders [to rob them, rape them, sell them into slavery, and murder them].” (Quran 033.025)

Quran 002.012 “Beware, lo, they, themselves, are the ones who spread corruption but they know not. Quran 002.013 When it is said to them, ‘Believe as the people believed,’ they say, ‘Should we believe as the fools believed?’ Beware, lo, they, themselves are the fools, but they know not. Quran 002.014 When they meet those who believed they say, ‘We believed.’ But when they are alone with their evil ones, they say, ‘Lo, we with you. We were only joking and mocking.’ Quran 002.015 Al-Lahu mocks at them, turning the joke against them, and prolongs them in their transgression. They wander blindly.”

687Quran 002.023 “And if you are in doubt of what We have revealed to Our slave, then produce a suratun | surah of like it, and call your witnesses from other than al-Lahi if you are truthful. Quran 002.024 But if not you do, and never will you do, then fear the Fire whose its fuel the men and the stones prepared for the infidel disbelievers.”

Quran 002.043 “[Jews] Perform al-Salata | the Prostration Prayer; pay the zakat | tax; bow down prostrate with those performing ar-Raki’un | the obedient ritualistic bowers. Quran 002.044 You command the people the righteousness and you forget yourselves while you recite the writing. Then will not you be reasonable? Quran 002.045 And seek patiently ang the prostration performance. Lo, it surely hard, except for those who obey in humble submission.”

Tabari VII:63 “The Messenger uttered these words: ‘O people of the pit, you were evil fellow tribesmen to your Prophet! You disbelieved me when other people believed me. You drove me out when other people gave me shelter. You fought me when other people came to my aid.’”

Quran 008.030 “When the disbelievers plotted against you to restrain you, to kill you, or to get you out, they were plotting and al-Lahu too was plotting, and al-Lahu is the best schemer. Quran 008.031 And when our verses (of the Quran) are recited to them, they say, ‘Indeed, we have listened and if we wanted to, we could say the like of this. This is nothing but the tales of former people. Quran 008.032 And when they said, ‘Al-Lahu, if this was this, it the truth of from you, then rain down stones on us from the sky or bring on us a painful torment.’ Quran 008.033 But not is al-Lahu that he punishes them while you are among them, and not is al-Lahu the one who punishes them while they seek forgiveness.”

Quran 061.005 “And when Musa (Moses) said to his people, ‘O my people! Why do you hurt me while you know certainly that I am the Messenger of al-Lahi to you?’ So when they turned away, 688caused by al-Lahu to deviate their hearts, al-Lahu does not guide the people who are disobedient.”

Quran 064.005 “Has not come to you news those who disbelieved from before? So they tasted consequence their affair and for them a painful punishment. Quran 064.006 That was because there came to them their Messengers with proofs, but they said, ‘Shall mere men guide us?’ So they disbelieved and turned away, and al-Lahu can do without them. And al-Lahu is rich, free of all wants, and self-sufficient, worthy of all praise. Quran 064.007 Those who disbelieve claim that they will never be resurrected. Say, ‘Yes! By my Rabbi, you will be resurrected, then, lo, you will be informed of what you did. And that for al-Lahi is easy.’”

Quran 003.019 “Lo! The religion near al-Lahi (is) al-Is’lamu | the Submission. And not differed those who were given the writing except from after what came to them the knowledge out of envy among them. And whosoever disbelieves in signs and verses al-Lahi, then lo, al-Laha swift account. Quran 003.020 Then if they argue with you, then say, ‘I have aslamtu | surrendered to Lillahi and who follow me.’ And say to those who were given the writing and the illiterates (Arabs), ‘Have you submitted yourselves? Then if they aslamu | surrender, then, lo, they are guided, but if they turn back, then only on you to the convey. And al-Lahu all-seer of slaves.”

Quran 003.069 “Wished a group from people of the writing if they could lead you astray and not they dead astray except themselves and not they perceive. Quran 003.070 People of the Book why do you deny the signs of al-Lahi while you bear witness? Quran 003.071 People of the Book, why do you mix the truth with the falsehood and conceal the truth while you know?”

Quran 003.077 “Lo, those who exchange pledge charged and sworn by al-Lahi and their oaths for a small price, those no share for them in the after and not will speak to them al-Lahu and not look at them day the resurrection. And not purify them. And for them a painful punishment. Wished a group from people of the writing if they could lead you astray and not they dead astray except themselves and not they perceive.”

Ishaq:395 “Muslims, if you listen to the unbelievers you will retreat and become losers. Ask Allah for victory and do not retreat, 689withdrawing from His religion. ‘We will terrorize those who disbelieve. In that way I will help you against them.’”

Quran 003.184 “Then if they deceive you by fabricating a fraud (reject you), certainly were frauds, fabricating disappointing lies and false impressions (rejecting) rusulun | messengers from before you, came with il-bayin | making the connections to differentiate between (the clear signs) and al-Zuburi | the well from which that which was skillfully written by a courageous man of supreme intellect and understanding came forth (the Psalms / Scriptures), and with al-kitab | the writing (the Book) of al-munir | the vexing fire enflaming and provoking war (the enlightenment).”

Ishaq:475 “Those who call Muhammad a liar disbelieve and go astray. They attacked our religion and would not submit.”

Tabari VIII:52 & Ishaq:491 “Jahjah and Juhani began crowding each other at the watering place and fought. Juhani shouted, ‘People of the Ansar [Yathrib’s newer Muslims called “helpers”].’ Jahjah shouted, ‘People of the Emigrants [Quraysh Muslim vagabond from the “Beni HaShem – Sons of the Name” in Petra].’ Abdallah bin Ubayy [the leader of the Ansar] became enraged and said, ‘Why are they doing this? Are they trying to outrank us and outnumber us in our own land? The proverb “Feed a dog and it will devour you” fits these Quraysh vagabonds. When we go back to Medina, those who are stronger will drive out the weaker. Then he turned to his tribe and said, ‘This is what you have done to yourselves! You have allowed them [the stray “dogs” who have now turned to bite the hand feeding them] to settle in your land [Yathrib] and divide your wealth. Had you kept from them what you had, they would have moved to another place.’”

Quran 024.011 “Lo, verily, those who brought the slanderous lie (against Aishah, the wife of the Prophet) are a group among you. Not think it bad for you. Nay, it is good for you. For every person among them is what he earned of the sin and the one who took upon himself a greater share of it among them for him a great punishment. Quran 024.012 Why not when you heard it think the 690believing men and the believing women good of themselves and say, ‘This is a lie clear.’ Quran 024.013 Why did they not bring it for four witnesses. Then when the did not bring the witnesses, then those near al-Lahi, they the liars.”

Tabari VIII:89 “When the Messenger had finished his pact, he said to his companions, ‘Arise, sacrifice, and shave.’ Not a man stood even after he had said it three times. When no one stood up, went into Umm’s tent and told her what he had encountered from the Muslims. She said, ‘Do you approve of this? Go out, and speak not a word to any of them until you have slaughtered your fattened camel and summoned your shaver to shave you.’ When they saw this, they rose, slaughtered, and shaved until they almost killed each other in grief.”

Quran 004.081 “And they say, ‘Obedience,’ then when they depart from you a group of them plot by night other than that which you say. But al-Lahu recording what they scheme by night. So turn from them and put trust in al-Lahi.”

Quran 004.140 “And surely He has revealed to you in al-kitabi | the writing (book) that when you hear ayati | signs (verses) al-Lahi being rejected it and ridiculed at it, then do not sit with them until they engage in a conversation other than that. Lo, then like them. Verily al-Laha will gather the hypocrites and the disbelievers in Jahannama | Hell all together.”

Quran 004.142 “Lo, the hypocrites deceive al-Laha. And He deceives them. And when they stand for performing the prostration prayer, they stand sluggishly, showing off the people, and not they remember al-Laha but a little. Quran 004.143 Wavering between that not to these and not to those. And whoever has been led astray by al-Lahu, then never you will find for him a way. Quran 004.144 Believers, do not take the disbelievers as allies from instead of the believers. Do you with that you make for il-Lahi against you evidence between? Quran 004.145 Lo, the Hypocrites in the lowest depths of the Fire. And never you will find for them a helper.”

Quran 004.153 “The people of the writing ask you to cause (an actual) book to descend to them from heaven. Indeed they asked 691Moses for an even greater (miracle), for they said: ‘Show us Allah in public,’ but they were dazed for their presumption.”

Megalomania

Ishaq:233 “Allah’s Apostle, the Lord of the Muslims, Leader of the Allah Fearing, Messenger of the Lord of the Worlds, the Peerless and Unequalled.” Quran 004.065 “But no, by your Rabbi | Lord, not will they believe until they make you judge about what arises between them then not they find in themselves any discomfort about what you decided and yusallimu | submit tasliman | submission.”

Bukhari:V1B7N1331 “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.’”

Quran 033.021 “Verily, you have a noble paradigm and a good example for everyone to follow in the Messenger of al-Lahi for him who hopes in al-Laha, the Last Day, and remembers al-Laha.”

Bukhari:V7B63N1891 “Indeed in the Apostle of Allah you have a good example to follow.”

Ishaq:467 “Allah addressed the believers and said, ‘In Allah’s Apostle you have a fine example for anyone who hopes to be in the place where Allah is.’”

Bukhari:V1B3N65 “The Prophet got a silver ring made with ‘Muhammad Allah’s Apostle’ engraved on it. The ring glittered on his hand.”

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 692[beating Jesus]; and I am also al-Aqib, because there will be no prophet after me.’”

Bukhari:V4B55N651-2 “I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, ‘I am the nearest of all the people to Jesus. All the prophets are paternal brothers, their mothers are different, but their religion is one. There has been no prophet between me and Jesus.’”

Bukhari:V6B61N504 “Muhammad said, ‘Every Prophet was given miracles because of which people believed, but what I have been given is Divine Inspiration which Allah has revealed to me. So I hope that my followers will outnumber the followers of the other Prophets.’”

Bukhari:V1B3N68 “Muhammad used to take care of us in preaching by selecting a suitable time, so that we might not get bored. He abstained from pestering us with sermons and knowledge.”

Bukhari:V9B92N384 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Whoever obeys me will enter Paradise, and whoever disobeys me will not enter it.’”

Ishaq:553 “The people assembled in Mecca to swear allegiance to the Messenger in submission. They gathered to do homage to the Apostle in Islam. Umar remained below the Prophet, lower than the place where he sat, imposing conditions on the people as they paid homage to Muhammad, promising to submit and obey. Umar 697administered the oath, receiving from the Meccans their pledge of allegiance to Muhammad. They promised to heed and obey Allah and His Messenger.”

Tabari VIII:183 “When the Messenger was finished with the men’s swearing of allegiance, the women swore allegiance. ‘You are swearing allegiance to me on condition that you will associate nothing with Allah.’ ‘By Allah, you are imposing something on us that you did not impose on the men,’ one of the women said. ‘Do not kill your children,’ the woman repeated, ‘We raised them and you killed them. You know better about killing them than we do.’ Umar laughed immoderately at her.”

Ishaq:555 “It is not lawful for anyone to shed blood in Mecca. It was not lawful to anyone before me and it will not be lawful after me. If anyone should say, ‘The Apostle killed men in Mecca,’ say, ‘Allah permitted his Apostle to do so but He does not permit you.’”

Ishaq:557 “Allah gave you a seal imprinted. [The “Seal of Prophethood” was a hairy mole.] Allah’s proof is great. [Now there’s a delusional thought.] I testify that your religion is true and that you are great among men. Allah testifies that Ahmad [it means “praised”] is the chosen. You are a noble one, the cynosure [someone who attracts attention or admiration] of the righteous, a prince.”

Tabari IX:8 & Ishaq:569 “Our people were routed and fled, no one turning to look back. Allah’s Apostle withdrew and cried, ‘Where are you going? Come to me. I am Allah’s Apostle! I am Muhammad, son of Abdallah!’ It was of no avail. The camels just bumped into one another as the Muslims ran away.”

Ishaq:182 “While I was in the Hijr, Gabriel came and stirred me with his foot. He took me to the door of the mosque and there was a white animal, half mule, half donkey, with wings on its sides yet it was propelled by its feet. He mounted me on it. When I mounted, he shied. Gabriel placed his hand on its mane and said [to the jackass], ‘You should be ashamed to behave this way. By God, you have never had a more honorable rider than Muhammad.’ The animal was so embarrassed, it broke into a cold sweat.”

Muslim:C75B1N309 “The Messenger said: ‘I was brought on al-Buraq, an animal white and long. I mounted it and came to the Temple in Jerusalem. I tethered it to the ring used by the prophets and entered the mosque, praying two rak’ahs in it. Then I came out [of the nonexistent building] and Gabriel brought me a vessel of wine and one of milk. I chose the milk, and he said: “You have chosen the natural thing,” and took me to heaven.’”

Ishaq:182 “When we arrived at the Temple in Jerusalem, we found Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, along with a company of prophets. I acted as their imam in prayer.”

Ishaq:184 “After the completion of my business in Jerusalem, a ladder was brought to me finer than any I have ever seen. An angel was in charge of it and under his command were 12,000 angels each of them having 12,000 angels under his command. And none knows the armies of Allah better than he.”

Bukhari:V4B54N429 & Muslim:C75B1N309 “‘When I reached the nearest heaven, Gabriel said to heaven’s gatekeeper, “Open the gate.” The guard asked, “Who is it?” He said, “Gabriel.” The gatekeeper said, “Who is accompanying you?” Gabriel said, “Muhammad.” The guard replied, “Has he been called?” Gabriel said, “Yes.” It was said, “He is welcomed. What a wonderful visit 699his is!” Then I met Adam and greeted him and he said, “You are welcomed, son and Prophet.”’”

Bukhari:V8B77N610 “We granted the vision of the ascension to the heavens, Miraj, which We showed you as an actual eye witness but as a trial for people.’ (Quran 017.060) Allah’s Apostle actually saw with his own eyes the vision of all the things which were shown to him on the Night Journey to Jerusalem. It was not a dream.”

Ishaq:203 “‘Choose what you want for yourself and your Lord.’ The Messenger recited the Quran and made us desirous of Islam. Then he said, ‘I will enter a contract of allegiance with you, provided that you protect me as you would your women and children.’” Tabari VI:133 “We pledge our allegiance to you and we shall defend you as we would our womenfolk. Administer the oath of allegiance to us, Messenger of Allah, for we are men of war possessing arms and coats of mail.”

Tabari VI:134 “‘Men of the Khazraj, do you know what you are pledging yourselves to in swearing allegiance to this man?’ ‘Yes,’ they answered. ‘In swearing allegiance to him we are pledging ourselves to wage war against all mankind.’”

Ishaq:205 “‘If you are loyal to this undertaking, it will profit you in this world and the next.’ They said, ‘We will accept you as a Prophet under these conditions, but we want to know specifically what we will get in return for our loyalty.’ Muhammad answered, ‘I promise you Paradise.’”

Ishaq:256 “Do you find in what He has sent down to you that you should believe in Muhammad? If you do not find that in your scripture then there is no compulsion upon you. ‘The right path has been plainly distinguished from error’ [Quran 002.257] so I call you to Allah and His Prophet.”

Tabari VII:54 “Abu Bakr picked up his cloak and put it on him, grasping him from behind. ‘O Prophet whom I value more than my father and mother, this constant calling on your Lord is annoying.’ Then Allah revealed, ‘When you sought the help of your Lord he answered you saying, “I will help you with a thousand angels, rank on rank.”’” (Quran 008.009)

Ishaq:306 “Allah’s Apostle ordered the dead be thrown into a pit. All were thrown in except Umayyah. He had swollen up in his 700coat of mail and filled it. They went to move him, but he fell apart, so they left him where he was and flung some rocks over him. As the dead were being thrown in, Muhammad stood over them and said, ‘People of the pit, have you found what your Lord promised to be true? For I have found what my Lord promised me to be true.’ The Muslims said to him. ‘O Allah’s Messenger, are you speaking to dead people who have been putrefied?’ He replied, ‘They know what I promised them is the truth.’ You hear what I say no better than they, but they cannot answer me.”

Bukhari:V5B59N314-7 “At Badr, the Prophet ordered the corpses of twenty-four Quraysh leaders to be thrown into a pit. It was a habit of the Prophet that whenever he conquered some people, he used to stay at the battlefield for three nights [to gloat]. So, on the third day he ordered that his she-camel be saddled and he set out. His Companions followed, saying: ‘The Prophet is proceeding for some great purpose.’ When he halted at the edge of the pit, he addressed the corpses of the Quraysh infidels by their names, ‘O so-and-so, son of so-and-so! Why didn’t you obey Allah’s Apostle?’ Umar said, ‘O Apostle! You are speaking to the dead!’ Muhammad said, ‘Allah brought them to life to let them hear me, to reprimand them, to slight them, and so that I might take my revenge over them.’ Then he quoted the Holy Verse out of the Quran: ‘You cannot make the dead listen or the deaf hear your call…until they believe our signs and come into submission.”

Ishaq:231 “Whenever you differ about a matter it must be referred to Allah and Muhammad.”

Quran 061.006 “And when said ‘Iesa | Jesus, the son (of) Mary, ‘Yabani Is’raila | O Children of Israel! Lo! I am the messenger of al-Lahi to you, confirming that which (was) between my hands of al-Taurat | the Towrah (which came) bringing Bashir | Glad Tidings of a Rasuli | Messenger to come from after me, whose name (shall be) Ahmadu.’ But when he came to them with proofs and signs, they said, ‘This is evident sorcery!’”

Quran 062.002 “He (is) the One Who sent among the unlettered and illiterate a Messenger from themselves, reciting to them His Verses, purifying them, and teaching them the Book and Al-Hikmah | the Wisdom (as-Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad). Although they were from before in manifest error.”

701Tabari VII:126 “The Prophet went up the mountain. He had become stout and heavy with age. He was wearing two coats of mail. When he tried to climb up, he could not manage on his own. Talba Ubaydullah squatted beneath him and lifted him up until he settled comfortably on a rock.” Ishaq:383 “That day I heard the Prophet saying, ‘Talha earned paradise when he did what he did for me.’”

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, the keys to the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand.’”st meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror.’”

Ishaq:440 “Helped by the Holy Spirit we smited Muhammad’s foes. He is a true Messenger from the Compassionate, an Apostle reciting Allah’s Book. He became honored in rank and station. So the Apostle sent a message to them with a sharp cutting sword.”

Quran 033.053 “O you who believe! Do not enter the Prophet’s dwellings except when permission is given to you for a meal and without (coming early) to wait for it to be prepared. When you are invited, enter (at the proper time); and when you have eaten, disperse without lingering for the sake of conversation. Indeed, that offensive and annoying to the Prophet, and he is shy (to tell the truth) to you. But al-Lahu not shy of the truth. And when you ask them anything, then ask them from behind a screen. That is purer for your hearts and their hearts. And not is for you that you bother al-Lahi’s Messenger. And not that you should marry his women after him, ever. That, verily, with al-Lahi an enormity.”

Tabari VIII:40 “Aisha, the Mother of the Faithful, was asked, ‘How did the Messenger of God behave?’ She replied, ‘His eye did not weep for anyone.’”

Quran 004.080 “Who obeys al-Rasula | the Messenger, then lo, he obeyed al-Laha. And whoever turns away then not We sent you over them a guard.”

702Inspiration

Bukhari:V1B1N2 “‘Allah’s Messenger! How is the Divine Inspiration revealed to you?’ He replied, ‘Sometimes it is like the ringing of a bell. This form of Inspiration is the hardest of all and then this state passes off after I have grasped what is inspired. Sometimes the angel comes in the form of a man and talks to me and I grasp whatever he says.’ Aisha added: ‘I saw the Prophet being inspired and (noticed) the sweat dropping from his forehead on a very cold day as the Inspiration was over.’”

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.’”

Bukhari:V4B54N457 “Whoever claims the Prophet Muhammad saw his Lord is committing a great fault for he only saw Gabriel in his genuine shape when covering the horizon.”

Bukhari:V6B60N378 “‘Masruq asked Aisha, ‘O Mother of the faithful, did Muhammad see his Lord?’ Aisha said, ‘What you have said makes my hair stand on end! Know that if somebody tells you one of the following things, he is a liar. Whoever tells you that Muhammad saw his Lord, is a liar. Whoever tells you that the Prophet knows what is going to happen tomorrow, is a liar. And whoever tells you that he concealed, is a liar.’ Aisha added. ‘The Prophet saw Gabriel in his true form twice.’” [making the Quran 112 surahs too long.]

Bukhari:V4B54N455 “The Prophet informed us that he had seen Gabriel and he had 600 wings.”

Ishaq:558 “Gabriel, Allah’s messenger is with us and the Holy Spirit has no equal.”

703Quran 074.032 “Nay, I swear by the Moon, Quran 074.033 and by the night when it withdraws, Quran 074.034 and by the dawn when it is unveiled, Quran 074.035 lo, this is one of the greatest, Quran 074.036 a warning to mankind, Quran 074.037 to you going forward or remaining behind, Quran 074.038 every soul is pledged for what it does or earns, Quran 074.039 except those on the right hand, Quran 074.040 in demonic gardens they will ask each other, Quran 074.041 of Evil-Doers, Disbelievers, and Polytheists, Quran 074.042 ‘What has brought you to Hell?’ Quran 074.043 They will say, ‘We did not fulfill our prayers, Quran 074.044 nor did we feed the wretched indigent, Quran 074.045 and we waded with waders vainly, Quran 074.046 and we used to deny the Day of Judgment, Quran 074.047 until there came to us the inevitable.’ Quran 074.048 So, no intercession of intercessors will avail. Quran 074.049 Why now turn they away from admonition, Quran 074.050 as if they were frightened asses, Quran 074.051 fleeing from a lion, or beast hunting them? Quran 074.052 Nay, every one of them desires that he should be given pages spread out! Quran 074.053 Nay! By no means. They fear not the hereafter. Quran 074.054 Nay! Verily. This is an admonition. Quran 074.055 So whoever will may heed. Quran 074.056 And they will not heed unless God wills. He is worthy of being feared. He is the fount of mercy.”

Quran 002.106 “Whatever from signs or proofs, even verses We abolish and abrogate or We cause it to be forgotten, We bring better than it or similar to it. Do not you know that al-Laha over every thing all powerful?”

Quran 016.103 “When we replace a message with another, and Allah knows best what He reveals, they say: ‘You have made it up.’”

Quran 004.082 “Do they not ponder over the Quran? Had it been from other than Allah, they surely would have found therein much contradictions, a good deal of variation, many a discrepancy, and much incongruity.”

Ishaq:326 “Abdallah told me that when this verse came down it was a shock to the Muslims who took it hard. They were afraid, as the odds were too great. So Allah relieved them and cancelled the verse with another: ‘Now has Allah relieved you and He knows that there is a weakness among you, so if there are 100 they shall vanquish 200.’”

704Bukhari:V6B60N478 “The commencement of divine inspiration to Allah’s Messenger was in the form of dreams... The Prophet loved the seclusion of a cave in Hira. The angel came to him and asked him to read. The Prophet replied, ‘I do not know how to read.’ The Prophet added, ‘Then the angel caught me forcefully and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it any more. He released me and asked me to read. I replied, “I do not know how to read.” Thereupon he caught me again and pressed me till I could not bear it any more. He asked me to read but I replied, “I do not know how to read or what shall I read?” Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me, “Read in the name of your Lord who has created man from a clot. Read!” Then the Apostle returned from that experience; the muscles between his neck and shoulders were trembling, and his heart beating severely. He went to Khadija and cried, ‘Cover me! Cover me!’ She did until his fear subsided. He said, ‘What’s wrong with me? I am afraid that something bad has happened to me.’”

Tabari VI:67 “The Prophet said, ‘I had been standing, but fell to my knees; and crawled away, my shoulders trembling. I went to Khadija and said, “Wrap me up!” When the terror had left me, he came to me and said, “Muhammad, you are the Messenger of Allah.” Muhammad said, ‘I had been thinking of hurling myself down from a mountain crag, but he appeared to me as I was thinking about this and said, “I am Gabriel and you are the Messenger.” Then he said, “Recite!” I said, “What shall I recite?” He took me and pressed me three times. I told Khadija, “I fear for my life.” She said, “Rejoice, for Allah will never put you to shame.”’”

Ishaq:106 “The Prophet set off to Hira with his family. When it was night, Gabriel brought him the command of Allah. ‘He came to me,’ the Apostle said, ‘while I was asleep, with a coverlet of brocade whereon was some writing, and said, ‘Read.’ I said, ‘What shall I read?’ He pressed me so tightly that I was near death. Then he let go and said, ‘Read!’ When I thought I was nearly dead I said, ‘What shall I read; only to deliver myself from him, lest he should do the same thing to me again. He said, ‘Read in the name of your Lord who created man of blood coagulated. Read! Your generous Lord taught by the pen.’ So I read it, and he departed from me. I awoke from my sleep. These words were written on my heart. None 705of Allah’s creatures was more hateful to me than an ecstatic poet or a man possessed.’ I thought, ‘Woe is me, I’m a possessed poet.’”

Ishaq:105 “Aisha said that when Allah desired to honor Muhammad, the first sign of prophethood was a vision in brightness of day shown to him in his sleep. [In other words, he was dreaming.] He liked nothing better than to be alone. When he left Mecca and there was no house in sight, every stone and tree that passed by said, ‘Peace be unto you, Allah’s Apostle.’ Muhammad would turn around and see naught but trees and stones. [In other words, he was stoned.] He stayed seeing and hearing things as long as it pleased Allah. Then Gabriel came to him with the gift of Allah’s grace [the spiritual beating] while he was on Hira in the month of Ramadhan. The Apostle would pray in seclusion on Hira every year for a month to practice Tahannuth as was the custom of the Quraysh in the heathen days. [In other words, Muhammad was a heathen and the Islamic Pillar requiring Ramadhan fasting was pagan.] Tahannuth is religious devotion [to pagan idols]. After praying in seclusion, he would walk around the Ka’aba seven times. [The centerpiece of the Hajj Pillar is pagan as well.]”

Bukhari:V9B87N113 “The Prophet said, ‘A good dream is from Allah, and a bad dream is from Satan.’”

Tabari VI:76 “The inspiration ceased to come to the Messenger for a while, and he was deeply grieved. He began to go to the tops of mountain crags, in order to fling himself from them; but every time he reached the summit of a mountain, Gabriel appeared to him and said to him, ‘You are Allah’s Prophet.’ Thereupon his anxiety would subside and he would come back to himself.” Muhammad explains: “I was walking one day when I saw the angel who used to come to me at Hira. I was terror-stricken by him.”

Quran 073.001 “O you who wrapped in garments Quran 073.002 stand all night, but not all night, Quran 073.003 half of it, or a little less Quran 073.004 or a little more, and recite the Quran in a slow style, perhaps rhythmically. Quran 073.005 Lo, we shall send down to you a weighty word. Quran 073.006 Verily, the rising by night is very hard and most potent and good for governing, and most suitable for the word, when the soul is most receptive. Quran 073.007 Lo, there is for you by day ordinary occupation.”

706Ishaq:115 “Muhammad did not want his secret to be divulged before he applied himself to the publication of his message.”

Ishaq:155 “The revelations stopped for some time so that the Apostle was distressed and grieved. Then Gabriel brought him the ‘Morning,’ in which he swore that he had not forsaken him and did not hate him.”

Quran 093.001 “I swear by the early hours of the morning, Quran 093.002 and the night when dark and still, Quran 093.003 your Lord has not forsaken you, nor doth He despiseth thee.”

Ishaq:117 “Three years elapsed from the time that Muhammad concealed his state until Allah commanded him to publish his religion according to information that has reached me. ‘Proclaim what you have been ordered and turn away from the polytheists.’ (Quran 015.094) ‘Warn your family, your nearest relations.’ (Quran 026.214) When these words came down to the Apostle he said, ‘Allah has ordered me to warn my family and the task is beyond my strength. When I make my message known to them, I will meet with unpleasantness so I have kept silent. But Gabriel has told me that if I do not do as ordered my Lord will punish me.’”

Bukhari:V6B61N550 “The Prophet said, ‘It is a bad thing that some of you say, “I have forgotten such-and-such verse of the Quran.” For indeed, I have been caused to forget it. So you must keep on reciting the Quran because it escapes from the hearts of men faster than a runaway camel.’”

Quran 087.004 “We shall make you read so that you will not forget.” [Contradicting himself.]

Tabari VI:75 “Messenger, how did you first know with absolute certainty that you were a prophet?’ He replied, ‘Two angels came to me while I was somewhere in Mecca… One angel said, “Open his breast and take out his heart.” He opened my chest and heart, removing the pollution of Satan and a clot of blood, and threw them away. Then one said, “Wash his breast as you would a receptacle.” He summoned the Sakinah [the Hebrew Shekhinah is exclusively a rabbinic and religious term], which looked like the face of a white cat, and it was placed in my heart. Then one said, “Sew up his breast.” So they sewed up my chest and placed the seal between my shoulders.’”

707Quran 094.001 “Have We not opened up your chest, Quran 094.002 and removed your burden, Quran 094.003 which weighed down your back, Quran 094.004 and raised your frame.”

Quran 075.005 “Nay! He desires to continue committing sins and to lie about what is before him. Quran 075.006 He asks, ‘When will be this Day of Resurrection?’ Quran 075.007 So when the sight is dazed, dazzled, and confounded, Quran 075.008 and the moon will be eclipsed, Quran 075.009 and the sun and the moon are brought together and conjoined. Quran 075.010 On that day, man will say: ‘Where to flee?’ Quran 075.011 No, Never! There is no refuge or escape. Quran 075.012 Unto your Lord will be the retreat on that day. Quran 075.013 On that day he will be told what he had sent ahead and put off, leaving behind. Quran 075.014 Nay, man will be evidence against himself, Quran 075.015 though he puts forth and tenders his excuses. Quran 075.016 Move not your tongue concerning to make haste. Quran 075.017 Lo! It is for us to collect, put together, and recite. Quran 075.018 And when We have recited it to you, follow its recital. Quran 075.019 Then, lo, upon us to explain it. Quran 075.020 Nay! You love this fleeting life.”

Quran 047.024 “Do they not understand the Quran? Nay, on the hearts there are locks preventing them from understanding.”

Quran 005.101 “Believers, ask not questions about things which if made plain to you would cause you trouble when the Quran is revealed. Some people before you asked questions, and on that account lost their faith. Quran 005.102 A people before you did ask such questions, and on that account they lost their faith and became disbelievers.”

Quran 005.109 “One day Allah will gather the messengers together, and ask: ‘What was the response you received (from men to your teaching)?’ They will say: ‘We have no knowledge.’”

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

Quran 003.007 “He the One who revealed to you the writing of it signs, proofs, and verses clear. They the foundation the writing and others allegorical. Then as for those in their hearts perversity, they follow what allegorical of it, seeking the discord and seeking its interpretation. And not knows its interpretation but al-Lahu. And 708those firm in the knowing they say, ‘We believe in it. All from our Lord.’ And not will take heed except men understanding.”

Quran 069.038 “But nay! I swear to witness all that you see, Quran 069.039 and what you do not see, Quran 069.040 that this is verily the word of an illustrious and honored Messenger, Quran 069.041 and not the word of a poet, little is it you believe, Quran 069.042 nor is it the word of a soothsayer, little that you remember. Quran 069.043 This is a revelation sent down from the Lord of the words. Quran 069.044 And if he forged any false words concerning us, Quran 069.045 we would have seized him by his right hand, Quran 069.046 And then certainly should have cut off his life artery (aorta). Quran 069.047 And not one of you would be able to stop us, withholding us from (punishing) him. Quran 069.048 And lo, this is a reminder for those who guard. Quran 069.049 And, lo, We know that some among you deny and reject. Quran 069.050 And, lo, it is the nemesis of unbelieves, an anguish and grief. Quran 069.051 And lo, it is ultimate reality, absolute truth, and assured certainty. Quran 069.052 So glorify the name of your Lord, Great, Lord High!”

Ishaq:180 “According to my information, the Apostle often sat by a young Christian slave named Jabr. The Meccans said, ‘He is the one who teaches Muhammad most of what he brings.’ Then Allah revealed, Quran 016.103 ‘We know what they say: “It is only a mortal man who teaches him. But the tongue of the man they wickedly point to is foreign, while this is pure Arabic.’”

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.’”

Bukhari:V4B55N554 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Shall I not tell you about the a story of which no prophet told his nation? Someone will bring with him what will resemble Hell and Paradise, and what he will call Paradise will be actually Hell.’”

Quran 072.001 “Say, ‘It has been revealed to me that a group (three to ten) of Jinn listened (to the Quran). They said, “Verily, we have heard a really wonderful recital (of this Quran)! Quran 072.002 It guides to the right path. We have come to believe it. And we shall never associate anything with our Lord.”’”

709Bukhari:V5B58N199 “‘Who informed you Prophet about the Jinn when they heard the Quran?’ He said, ‘A tree informed me about them.’”

Quran 072.013 “And, indeed, when we (Jinn) listened to the guidance (of this Quran), we believed and have accepted (Islam).”

Quran 081.015 “But nay! So, I swear by the receding planets, Quran 081.016 those which run swiftly, hiding themselves, Quran 081.017 the closing night as it dissipates and departs, Quran 081.018 the rising dawn as it breathes away the darkness, Quran 081.019 lo, it is indeed the word of a noble messenger, Quran 081.020 possessor of power with owner of the throne secure, Quran 081.021 one to be obeyed and worthy of trust. Quran 081.022 And not your companion mad or possessed, Quran 081.023 for surely, he saw him in the horizon clear. Quran 081.024 And not he on the unseen a withholder or a tenacious concealer. Quran 081.025 And not it word of Satan accursed. Quran 081.026 So whither do you stray and whither you go? Quran 081.027 This (the Quran) is no less than a reminder to the nations, worlds, and creation.

Quran 091.001 “(I swear) by the sun and its brilliance, Quran 091.002 and by the moon as she follows him.”

Muslim:C14B39N6757 “Allah’s Messenger said: ‘There is none amongst you with whom is not an attaché from amongst the jinn, a devil.’ The Companions said: ‘Allah’s Messenger, is there a devil with you too?’ Thereupon he said: ‘Yes, but Allah helps me against him so I am safe from his hand and he does not command me but for good.’”

Tabari VI:107 “Satan cast a false revelation on the Messenger of Allah’s tongue.”

Quran 022.052 “Every Messenger or Prophet before you recited the message Satan cast into his recitation. Allah abrogates what Satan casts. Then Allah established his verses.”

Bukhari:V5B59N716-V4B52N288 “The ailment of Allah’s Apostle became worse. He said, ‘Fetch me something so I may write something to keep you from going astray.’ The people differed in this matter, and it was not right to differ before a prophet. Some said, ‘What is wrong with him? Do you think he’s delirious? Let’s ask him.’ So they went to the Prophet and asked. He said, ‘Leave 710me, for my present state is better than what you question me about.’ Then he ordered them to do three things. He said, ‘Turn the pagans out of the Arabian Peninsula; give gifts to the foreign delegations as you have seen me dealing with them.’”

Tabari IX:175 “Bring me a tablet, or a plank of the shoulder blade and an inkpot, so that I can write for you a document, after which you will not go astray.’ Some said, ‘The Messenger of Allah is out of his mind.’”

Muslim:C24B20N4607 “Allah’s Messenger forbade that one should travel to the land of the enemy taking the Quran with him.”

Tabari IX:85 “None but the purified shall touch the Quran.”

Muslim:C24B20N4608 “It is forbidden to take the Quran to the land of the Infidels when it is feared that it might fall into their hands: Muhammad used to forbid anyone from traveling to the land of the enemy taking the Quran lest it should fall into the hands of the enemy.”

Muslim:C24B20N4609 “The Messenger said: ‘Do not take the Quran on a journey with you, for I am afraid lost it would fall into the hands of the enemy.’ Ayyub, one of the narrators in the chain of transmitters, said: ‘The enemy may seize it and may quarrel with you over it.’”

Quran 056.075 “So I swear by the mansions of the stars. Quran 056.076 And verily, this is a tremendous oath if you but knew. Quran 056.077 That is indeed a honorable recital or glorious Quran, Quran 056.078 In a writing kept hidden and guarded, Quran 056.079 which none touch but the purified, Quran 056.080 a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.”

Quran 012.001 “These are verses of the immaculate writing, a clear discourse. Quran 012.003 Through the Quran We narrate the best of histories.”

Quran 002.001 “This is a book free of doubt.”

Quran 010.037 “This Quran is such a writing that none but Allah could have composed it. It confirms what has been revealed before.”

Ishaq:141 & Tabari VI:104 “The first to recite the Quran aloud in Mecca after the apostle was Abdallah bin Mas’ud. One day the 711companions of the Prophet were assembled together [all five of them] and remarked, ‘The Quraysh have never heard this Quran recited aloud to them. Who will make them listen to it?’”

Ishaq:141 “The next day Ibn Mas’ud went to the Ka’aba in the late morning when the Quraysh were gathered in groups. He turned toward them as he recited: Quran 055.001 “Ar-Rahman | the Merciful, Quran 055.002 He taught the Quran. Quran 055.003 He created man. Quran 055.004 He taught him speech.”

Quran 013.038 “And lo, we sent messengers from before you, and we made for them wives and offspring. And it was not for a messenger that he comes with a sign except by the leave al-Lahi. For matter a decree and time prescribed. Ar-Rahman abrogates, blots out, or confirms. Quran 013.042 And certainly those who plotted from before them, but for Alillahi are all the plots. He knows what every soul earns. And will know the disbelievers for whom the final abode. Quran 013.043 And those who disbeliever say, ‘You are not a messenger.’ Say, ‘Sufficient il-Lahi, a witness between me and between you and whoever has knowledge (of) the writing.’”

Bukhari:V4B56N667 “The Messenger said, ‘Convey to the people even if it were a single sentence, and tell others the stories of Israel (which have been taught to you), for it is not sinful to do so. And whoever tells a lie on me intentionally, will surely take his place in the Hell Fire.’”

Quran 087.018 “Lo, this is in the former writings, Quran 087.019 writings of Ibrahim and Musa.”

Quran 046.012 “Before this was the writing of Musa as a guide and a mercy. And this writing confirming Arabic tongue to warn the polytheists and as glad tidings to the do-gooders.”

Quran 003.001 “Alif-Lam-Mim. Alif, Lam, Mim. (These letters are one of the miracles of the Quran and none but Allah knows their meanings.) Quran 003.003 He has verily revealed to you this writing, in truth and confirmation of the writings revealed before, as indeed He had revealed the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel). He revealed to you the writing in truth confirming that which before it and He revealed the Taurat | Towrah / Torah and the Injeel [errant transliteration of euangelion / good messenger].”

712Tabari VII:167 “The Messenger married Umm Salamah. In this year also, the Prophet commanded Zayd bin Thabit to study the Book of the Jews, saying, ‘I fear that they may change my Book.’ In this year the polytheists were in charge of the Meccan Pilgrimage.”

Quran 020.113 “Thus we have sent the Quran down in Arabic and We have explained in it the different threats and warnings that they might fear or it may cause for them remembrance.”

Quran 021.018 “Nay, We fling the truth against the falsehood, so it destroys it, and behold, it is vanished. And woe to you for that which you ascribe. Quran 021.019 To Him belongs whosoever is in the heavens and on earth. And those who are near Him are not too proud to worship Him, nor are they weary.”

Bukhari:V6B60N13 “The Prophet prayed facing Jerusalem but he wished that his Qiblah would be the Ka’aba at Mecca so Allah Revealed a Quran. A man who had prayed with him went out and said, ‘I swear I have prayed with the Prophet facing Mecca.’ Hearing that, they turned their faces to the Ka’aba while they were still bowing. Some men had died before the Qiblah was changed and we did not know what to say about them.”

Quran 059.021 “If we sent down this al-Qur’ana | the Quran on a mountain, surely you would have seen it, humbled breaking asunder from the fear of al-Lahi. And these examples we present them to the people so that they give thought.”

Allah No Ilah

Ishaq:324 “Allah said, ‘Leave Me to deal with the liars. I have fetters, fire, and food which chokes.”

Quran 068.044 “Leave Me alone with those who deny and reject this announcement and message. Step by step, by degrees, we will lead them and punish them gradually from directions and in ways they cannot perceive.”

713Quran 073.011 “Leave me the rejecters, the possessors of ease and comfort. Give them respite for a while. Quran 073.012 Verily, we have heavy fetters with us and a roaring furnace (to burn them), Quran 073.013 and food that chokes, sticking in the throat, and a painful torment.”

Quran 104.004 “Nay! Surely, he will be thrown into the Crusher. Quran 104.005 And what will make you know the Crusher that Breaks him into Pieces?

Quran 104.006 A fire al-Lahi kindled, Quran 104.007 which leaps over them penetrating the hearts. Quran 104.008 Lo, upon them closed over. Quran 104.009 In pillars outstretched.”

Quran 089.012 “And much corruption therein, Quran 089.013 So, poured on them your Lord scourge of punishment.”

Quran 089.021 “Nay, when the earth is leveled and made to crumble by being pounded, Quran 089.022 and your Lord comes, his angels rank upon rank, Quran 089.023 and Hell is brought that Day, that Day man will remember, but how will that remembrance be for him? Quran 089.024 He will say, ‘O I wish I had sent for my life.’ Quran 089.025 So that Day, his punishing chastisement will be such as no other can inflict. None punishes as he will punish! Quran 089.026 None can bind as he will bind.”

Quran 067.016 “Are you so unafraid that he will not open the earth to swallow you, pelt you with showers of stones, or let loose on you a violent wind so that you shall know how terrible is my warning? But indeed men before them rejected my warning. They denied, so then how terrible will be my punishment of them and my wrath. Are you so unafraid that he, who is over the heaven, will not open the earth to swallow you up when it will begin to tremble, sinking with you when it shakes? Quran 067.017 Or do you feel secure that he, who is over the heaven, will not send against you a violent whirlwind – perhaps a tornado with showers of stones. Then you would know how terrible has been my warning? Quran 067.018 And, indeed, those before them rejected and denied. And how terrible was my rejection and punishment then?”

Quran 091.013 “But said to them, (the) Messenger (of) al-Lahi, ‘(It is the) she-camel (of) al-Lahi! And (do not bar) her (from having a) drink!’ Quran 091.014 But they denied him (as a false prophet) and they hamstrung her. So rabbuhum | their Lord God obliterated 714them for their sin and leveled them. Quran 091.015 And not he fears its consequences.”

Quran 048.006 “And he punish the hypocrite men and hypocrite women and the criminal polytheist men and women who assume with il-Lahi an evil assumption. Upon them an evil turn and al-Lah’s wrath upon them. He has cursed them and prepared for them Hell, and evil a destination.”

Quran 047.012 “How many cities, with more power than your city (Muhammad) which has driven you out, have we destroyed?”

Quran 053.049 “And that to your Lord the final goal Quran 053.043 that he makes laugh and weep. Quran 053.044 And that he causes death and life. Quran 053.045 And that he created pairs, male and female, Quran 053.046 from nutfah | sexual discharge when emitted, Quran 053.047 and that upon him the bringing forth another, Quran 053.048 And that he enriches and suffices, Quran 053.049 And that he, himself, (is) Lord (of) al-Shi’ra | Sirius.”

Quran 040.001 “Ha Mem (These letters are one of the miracles of the Quran and none but Allah understands their meaning.) Quran 040.002 Revelation (of) the writing (is) from al-Lahi | the to-Him, the Omnipotent, the Omniscient, Quran 040.003 Forgiver (of) the sin, and (the) Acceptor (of) the repentance, severe (in) the punishment. Owner of overabundance. (There is) la ilah | no god illa huw | except Him. Lahi | to Him (is) the final return.”

Quran 040.020 “And al-Lahu | the for-Him judges in truth, while those whom they invoke besides him cannot judge anything. Lo, al-Laha (is) the Hearer, the Seer. Quran 040.021 Have they not travelled in the land and seen what was the end of those who were before them? They were superior to them (in) strength and in traces (impression they left) in the land. But al-Lahu | for Him seized them with punishment for their evil. And none had they to protect them from al-Lahi | to Him. Quran 040.022 That (was) because used to them their Messengers with proofs and signs, but they disbelieved. So al-Lahu | for Him seized them with punishment. Verily, he (is) Strong, Severe in Punishment.”

Tabari VII:3 “Whoever disobeys them has erred and gone far astray. I recommend to you the fear of Allah, for the best thing which a Muslim can enjoin upon a Muslim is that he should be…commanded to fear Allah. [Quran 087.010] Beware of what 715Allah has warned you concerning himself. The fear of Allah for whoever acts according to it in fear and dread of his Lord is a trusty aid to what you desire. Allah says, ‘The sentence that comes from me cannot be changed, and I am in no wise a tyrant unto the slaves.’ The fear of Allah will ward off Allah’s hatred and wrath.”

Quran 033.026 “And He brought down those who backed them among the People of the writing from their strongholds, and cast ru’ba | terror into their hearts, so that a group (of them) you killed, and a group (of them) you enslaved as captives. Quran 033.027 And He caused you to inherit their land and their houses and their wealth, and land you had not trodden. Al-Lahu is on every thing Powerful. (Quran 059.002) He, the one, who expelled, driving out the disbeliever from the People of al-Kitabi | the Book (the Jews of of Bani An-Nadir) from their homes at the first gathering. You did not think that they would leave. And they thought that they, their fortresses, would defend them against al-Lahi! But came to them from al-Lahu from where they expected it not. And He cast al-ru’ba | the terror into their hearts. They destroyed their houses with their hands and the hands of the believers. Then take warning, O you with eyes (to see).”

Quran 008.001 “They ask you about the spoils of war. Say, ‘The spoils of war for Lillahi and the Rasuli. So fear al-Laha and adjust everything between you to obey al-Laha and his Messenger if you are believers.’ Quran 008.002 Believers, to the exclusion of all else, are those when al-Lahu is mentioned, feel fear.”

Ishaq:322 “Allah said concerning the pebbles thrown by the Apostle, ‘I threw them not you. Your tossing them would have had no effect without my help. But working together, we terrorized the enemy and put them to flight.”

Quran 008.017 “You killed them not, but al-Lahu killed them. And you did not cast (terror) or throw when you did throw or cast, but al-Laha threw, that he might test the believers by a trial and great favor from him. Verily, al-Laha is Hearer, Knower. Quran 008.018 That and al-Laha renders vain plan of the kafir.”

Ishaq:327 “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the 716ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”

Quran 064.011 “No calamity befalls or disaster strikes except by the decision and permission of al-Lahi. And whosoever believes in al-Lahu, he guides his heart, and al-Lahi of every thing knower.”

Quran 003.102 “O you who believed, fear al-Laha right He (should) be feared and do not die except while you Muslims.”

Ishaq:392 “It is not your affair whether Allah changes His attitude to them or punishes them, for they are evildoers. You are not to be bothered with My judgment of My slaves except in so far as I give you orders concerning them. I may change My mind toward them. Punishing them is my prerogative. They deserve this for their disobedience to Me.’”

Ishaq:393 “Fear Allah that you may prosper. Obey Allah and perhaps you may escape from His punishment of which He has warned you and attain His reward which He has made you desire. And fear the fire which He has prepared for the disbelievers, a resort for those who disbelieve Me.”

Quran 078.037 “None shall have power to argue with the Lord, none can converse with him or address him.”

Quran 003.098 “Say, ‘O People the Book, why you disbelieve in ayat | signs, proofs, and verses al-Lahi?’ Al-Lahu a witness over what you do.”

Quran 021.016 “We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them for play out of fun. If it had been our wish to take a pastime, to make a diversion or hobby, we surely could have made it ourselves, in our presence, if we would do.”

Quran 114.001 “Say: I seek refuge in (the) Rabbi of al-nasi | the foremost leader, Quran 114.002 Maliki | King al-nasi | the first and foremost, the ilah | god of the elevated ruler. Quran 114.003 Ilahi | god al-nasi | exalted prince. Quran 114.004 From evil of the sneaking whisperer (the Devil) who (as Satan) breathes temptations and is withdrawn. Quran 114.005 The one who whispers in breasts of al-717nasi | supreme leader. Quran 114.006 From al-jinati | the jinn and wal-nasi | and the elevated and exalted governor.”

Quran 020.008 “Al-Lahu, la ilaha illa huwa | no god but him. To Him the names, the most beautiful.”

Quran 020.014 “Lo! Verily, I am al-Lahu | the for-Him. La Ilaha illa ana | no god but I. So worship me. And establish and perform regular prostration prayer for my praise.” Verily the hour is coming. I am almost hiding it from myself.”

Quran 020.096 “Now look at your ilah, of whom you have become devoted. We will (burn) it and scatter it in the sea! But your Ilah is al-Lahu: no ilah (god) but He. Thus do We relate to you some stories of what happened before from our own Remembrance.”

Quran 002.132 “And this (submission to Allah, Islam) was enjoined upon Ibrahim upon his sons and Ya’qub (Jacob). ‘Oh my sons! Lo, verily, al-Laha has decided for you the religion. Then die not except Muslims, submissive.’ Quran 002.133 Or were you witnesses when death came to Ya’qub when he said unto his sons, ‘What will you worship after me?’ They said, ‘We shall worship ilahaka | your god, ilaha | god of your fathers, of Ibrahima, Isma’ila, Ishaqa, god one. And we to him mus’limuna | submissive.’”

Ishaq:324 “Fight them so that there is no more rebellion, and religion, all of it, is for Allah only. Allah must have no rivals.”

Quran 073.008 “But keep in remembrance the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him in complete devotion. Lord of the East and West: there is no Ilah but He.”

Quran 087.001 “Glorify name your Rabbi the Most High, Quran 087.002 the one who created, then proportions.”

Ishaq:162 “Abu Jahl met the Apostle and said, ‘By Allah, Muhammad, you will either stop cursing our gods or we will curse the god you serve.’ So the Quran verse was revealed, ‘Do not insult those [gods] to whom they pray lest they curse God wrongfully through lack of knowledge.’ [Quran 006.108] I have been told that the Apostle then refrained from cursing their gods, and began to call them to Allah [rather than Rahman].”

718Ar Rahman, the Other Ilah

Quran 067.020 “Who is he that will be an army to assist you besides Ar-Rahman? The unbelievers are lost in delusion.”

Quran 055.001 “Ar-Rahman, Quran 055.002 he taught the Quran. Quran 055.003 He created man. Quran 055.004 He taught him speech.”

Quran 055.006 “Ar-Rahman created the herbs (or stars) and the trees all of which prostrate themselves. Quran 055.014 He created the man from clay like the pottery, Quran 055.015 He created the jinn | devils and demons from a smokeless flame of fire. Quran 055.016 So which favors of your Lord will you both deny? Quran 055.017 Lord of the two Easts and Lord of the two Wests. Quran 055.035 “Will be sent against both of you a flame of fire and smoke (to choke). And you will not defend yourselves or escape. How many favors of your Lord will you both deny? Quran 055.041 The unbelievers and polytheists will be recognized by their marks and seized by their forelocks and feet. Quran 055.042 So which of the favors of your Lord will you both then deny? Quran 055.043 This the Hell of which the polytheists denied. Quran 055.044 They will go round and round between its fiercely hot boiling and scalding water. Quran 055.045 So which of the favors of your Lord will you both then deny? Quran 055.046 But for him who stands in fear of his Lord, awestruck and terrorized, are two gardens.”

Quran 013.030 “They do not believe in Ar-Rahman. Tell them, ‘He is my Lord. There is no other Ilah (God) but He. In Him I have placed my trust.’”

Quran 013.038 “And lo, certainly, We sent messengers from before you, and We made for them wives and offspring. And it was not for a messenger that he comes with a sign except by the leave al-Lahi. For matter a decree and time prescribed. Ar-Rahman abrogates, blots out, or confirms.”

Quran 020.090 “And lo, verily, Harun said to them from before, ‘O my people, you are only being tested with this. Surely, your Lord is Rahman. So follow me and obey my command.’”

Quran 020.108 “On that Day they will follow the caller. No deviation from it. And humbled and hushed the voices for Rahman. You will not hear a sound but faint shuffling. Quran 020.109 That 719day no intercession will matter other than his whom Rahman grants permission. And He has accepted for him a word.

Quran 021.025 “We did not send any Messenger before you but We inspired him that there is no God but I so worship Me. Quran 021.026 They say, ‘Ar-Rahman has begotten a son.’ Glory to Him! Nay, they are but honored slaves.”

Quran 021.036 “When the unbelievers see you they make fun of you, mocking you, ridiculing you and scoffing at you. ‘Is this the one who mentions your gods?’ And they would deny all mention of Ar-Rahman, disbelieving him!”

Quran 021.041 “Mocked were messengers before you, but the scoffers were surrounded by what they had ridiculed. Say: ‘Who can protect you from Ar-Rahman?’ Yet they turn away from the mention of their Lord. Have they alihah (gods) who can defend them against Our Torment?”

Ishaq:302 & Tabari VII:60 “Umayyah used to meet me when we were in Mecca and say, ‘Abd Amr, do you dislike the name your father gave you?’ I would reply, ‘Yes.’ Umayyah would then say, ‘I do not recognize Ar-Rahman, so adopt a name that I can call you by when we meet. Well then, you are Abd al-Ilah.’ I agreed.”

Demons & Devils

Muslim:C14B39N6759 “Aisha, the wife of Allah’s Apostle, reported: ‘Allah’s Messenger left my apartment during the night. Then he came and he saw me in an agitated state.’ He said: “Aisha, what has happened to you? Do you feel jealous?” I said: “How can it be that a girl like me would not feel jealous in regard to a husband like you? Thereupon Allah’s Messenger said: “It is your devil who has come to you.” I said: “Allah’s Messenger, is there a devil with me?” He said: “Yes.” I said: “Is there a devil attached to everyone?” He said: “Yes.” I said: “Allah’s Messenger, is there a devil attached to you also?” He said: “Yes.”’”

720Muslim:C14B39N6757 “Allah’s Messenger said: ‘There is none amongst you with whom is not an attaché from amongst the jinn, a devil.’ The companions said: ‘Allah’s Messenger, is there a devil with you too?’ He said: ‘Yes, but Allah helps me against him so I am safe from his hand and he commands me for good.’”

Bukhari:V6B60N475 “Allah’s Apostle became sick and could not offer his prayer. A lady came and said, ‘Muhammad! I think that your Satan has forsaken you, for I have not seen him with you for two or three nights!’ On that Allah revealed: ‘By the night when it darkens, your Lord has neither forsaken you, nor hated you.’”

Ishaq:166 “‘You have recited to the people that which I did not bring to you from Allah, and you have said that which He did not say to you.’ The Messenger was grieved and feared Allah greatly. So Allah sent a revelation to him, consoling him and making light of the affair. He informed him that there had never been a prophet or messenger before who desired as he desired and wished as he wished but that Satan had cast words into his recitation, as he had interjected them on Muhammad’s tongue and into his desires.”

Ishaq:166 “Then Allah annulled what Satan had cast, and established his verses by telling him that he was like other prophets and messengers.”

Ishaq:166 “Every Messenger or Prophet before you recited the message Satan cast into his recitation. Allah abrogates what Satan casts. Then Allah established his verses.” (Quran 022.052)

Quran 022.052 “‘And never did we send from before you out of a messenger and not a prophet, but, when he recited, the Adversary, Satan, projected and ascribed within, proposing and offering something included in his recital. But the for-Him abolishes what the Adversary, Satan throws in and ascribes, proposes and offers. Then, the for-Him will establish his verses. And the for-Him, Knower, Wise.’” [Another translation reads:] “He recited (the message) Satan proposed. But Allah abolishes that which Satan proposes.” [A third claims:] “Satan made a suggestion respecting his desire; but Allah annuls that which Satan casts.” [A fourth:] “whose recitations Satan tampered with, yet Allah abrogates what Satan interpolates; and Allah will confirm His Signs/Revelations.”

Quran 022.053 “That He may make what al-Shaytanu | the Adversary, Satan, yul’qi | throws in, projects and ascribes, proposes 721and offers a trial or temptation for those in whose hearts (is) a disease (of hypocrisy and disbelief), and hardened their hearts. And lo, verily, al-zalimina | the cruel lords (are) surely in a far-reaching schism of dissent and opposition.”

Tabari VI:110 “Thus Allah removed the sorrow from his Messenger, reassured him about that which he had feared, and cancelled the words which Satan had cast on his tongue, that their gods were exalted high-flying cranes (goddesses) whose intercession was accepted with approval. He now revealed, following the mention of al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat,’ the words: are yours the males and his the females? That indeed is an unfair division! They are but names which you and your fathers have given,’ to the words: ‘to whom he wills and accepts.’” (Quran 053.021)

Quran 053.001 “By the Star when it goes down and sets, Quran 053.002 your Companion has not strayed nor has he erred, being confused, deceived, nor misled. Quran 053.003 Nor does he speak from the desire. Quran 053.004 Not it except a revelation revealed. Quran 053.005 Has taught him by the Mighty Power and Supreme Intellect. Quran 053.006 Vigorous, Endued with Wisdom, the Lord of Strength, and Free of Defect in Body or Mind, He rose and grew, coming into view in stately form. Quran 053.007 And reached the highest pinnacle on the uppermost horizon, Quran 053.008 Then He drew near, closer, approaching, Quran 053.009 Until a space (of) two bow, or nearer. Quran 053.010 So he revealed to His slave what he revealed. Quran 053.019 Have you considered Al-Lat and Al-Uzza, Quran 053.020 And Manat, the third and the other? Quran 053.021 Are there males for you and for Him females? Quran 053.022 That is an unfair apportioning.”

Tabari VI:110 “When Muhammad brought a revelation from Allah canceling what Satan had cast on the tongue of his prophet, the Quraysh said, ‘Muhammad has repented what he said concerning the position of our gods with Allah. He has altered and brought something else.’ Those two phrases which Satan had cast on Muhammad’s tongue were in the mouth of every polytheist. They became even more ill-disposed and violent in their persecution of those who had accepted Islam following the Messenger.”

Tabari VI:116 & Ishaq:193 “When the Messenger despaired of getting any positive response from the Thaqif, he left Ta’if to return to Mecca. When he was at Nakhlah, he rose in the middle of the 722night to pray, and, as Allah has told, a number of the jinn passed by. Ishaq says that he was told that there were seven jinn from Nasibin of the Yemen. They listened to him, and when he had completed his prayer they went back to their people to warn them, having believed and responded to what they had heard. Allah mentioned their story when he said: Quran 046.029 And when We turned, sent, and inclined toward you a nafran of jinns who listened to the Quran when they arrived and stood in its presence, said, ‘Give ear.’ When it was over, they came back to their people, warning.”

Quran 046.030 “They [Jinns/Demons] said, ‘O our people, verily, lo, we have listened to and heard a Book which has come down after Musa | Moseh, confirming what was before it, guiding to the truth and a straight path and right road.’ He will forgive you your sins, and deliver you from a Penalty Grievous.’”

Bukhari:V2B21N245 “A person slept in and missed the morning prayer. So the Prophet said, ‘Satan urinated in his ears.’”

Bukhari:V4B54N494 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘When the upper edge of the sun appears in the morning, don’t perform prayer till it has risen. When the lower edge of the sun sets, don’t perform prayer till it has set, for the sun rises between two sides of Satan’s head.’”

Bukhari:V4B54N509 “The Prophet said, ‘Yawning is from Satan and if anyone of you yawns, he should check his yawning as much as possible, for if anyone of you during the act of yawning should say: “Ha,” Satan will laugh at him.’”

Bukhari:V4B54N513 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘A good dream is from Allah, and a bad dream is from Satan; so if anyone of you has a bad dream and is afraid, he should spit on his left side, for then it will not harm him.’”

Bukhari:V4B54N516 “The Prophet said, ‘If anyone rouses from sleep and performs the ablution, he should wash his nose by putting water in it and then blow it out thrice because Satan has stayed in the upper part of his nose all the night.’”

Bukhari:V4B54N522 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘When you hear the crowing of cocks, seek blessings. Their crowing indicates that they have seen an angel. When you hear the braying of donkeys, seek refuge, for their braying indicates that they have seen Satan.’”

723Ishaq:72 “But she sent him (Muhammad) back. Some months after his return to the desert two men in white seized the boy, threw him down and opened up his belly, stirring it up. We are told that Muhammad was livid. Halima said, ‘I am afraid that this child has had a stroke, so I want to take him back before the result appears.’ She carried him back to Aminah and said, ‘I am afraid that ill will befall him, so I have brought him back to you.’ She asked what had happened. I said, ‘I fear a demon has possessed him.’”

Ishaq:90 “Jewish rabbis, Christian monks, and Arab soothsayers had spoken about the Apostle of Allah before his mission when his time drew near. The rabbis and monks found his description in their scriptures. The Arab occultists had been visited by satans from the jinn with reports which they had secretly overheard before they were prevented form hearing by being pelted with stars.”

Ishaq:91 “The Prophet explained the nature of shooting stars. ‘Allah shut off the Satans by these stars which pelted them. So Satans tried to steal information, listening in, mingling what they heard with conjecture and false intelligence. They conveyed it to the soothsayers.’”

Quran 067.005 “Lo, we have adorned the lowest heaven with lamps, and We have made such lamps as missiles to drive away ha Shayatin | the Adversary, these Satanic devils, and We have prepared for them the doom of Hell, the penalty of torment in the most intense Blazing Fire.”

Quran 037.006-10 “Behold! We adorned al-samaa | the sky, al-dunya | this world, with an ornament of al-kawakibi | the stars, guarding against every rebellious Shaytan | Satan, so they cannot listen to the assembly. The exalted are pelted from every side. Repelled, for them a perpetual punishment, except who snatches by theft. But follows him a piercing burning flame.”

Bukhari:V4B54N508 “The Prophet said, ‘While angels talk amidst the clouds about things that are going to happen, devils hear what they say and pour it in the ears of soothsayers as one pours something in a bottle, and they add one hundred lies to it.’”

724Muslim:C10B16N4168 “Allah’s Messenger said: ‘He seems to be one of the soothsayers on account of the rhymed speech which he has composed.’”

Quran 072.001 “Say [Muhammad] ‘It has been revealed to me that a group (three to ten) of Jinn listened (to the Quran). They said, “Verily, We have heard a really wonderful Recital (of this Quran)! Quran 072.002 It guides to the Right Path. We have come to believe it. And we shall never associate anything with our Lord.”’”

Quran 072.004 And that the foolish among us say preposterous things, atrocious lies, against god. Quran 072.005 And lo, we thought that men and Jinn would never lie against god. Quran 072.006 But there were males among mankind who took shelter with the male jinn. But they (jinn) increased them in waywardness, folly, and revolt. Quran 072.007 And they came to think as you thought, that the Lord would not resurrect anyone. Quran 072.008 We (jinn | demons) sought to reach the heaven to pry into the secrets; but we found it filled with fierce guards, stern wardens with flaming fires and shooting flames. Quran 072.009 And lo, verily, we used to sit there in stations, hidden in observatories, trying to (steal) a hearing. But any who listens now will find a shooting star and a flaming fire watching him, lying in wait as an ambush for him. Quran 072.010 And we (Jinn) know not whether harm or evil is the intended fate of all men on earth, or whether their lord intends for them a right path and to give them some guidance.”

Bukhari:V6B60N332 “The Prophet said, ‘Last night a demon from the Jinn came to me to disturb my prayer, but Allah gave me the power to overcome him. I intended to tie him to one of the pillars of the mosque till the morning so that all of you could see him.’”

Bukhari:V5B58N199 “‘Who informed you Prophet about the Jinn when they heard the Quran?’ He said, ‘A tree informed me about them.’”

Bukhari:V9B93N650 “Some people asked the Prophet about soothsayers. ‘Allah’s Apostle! Some of their talks come true.’ The Prophet said, ‘That word which happens to be true is what a Jinn snatches away by stealth (from Heaven) and pours it in the ears of the soothsayer with a sound like the cackling of a hen. The soothsayer mixes it with one hundred lies.’”

725Tabari VI:73 & Ishaq:107 “‘Cousin, can you tell me when this visitor comes to you?’ Muhammad replied, ‘Yes.’ She said, ‘Tell me then, when he comes.’ Gabriel came to him as before, and Muhammad said, ‘Here is Gabriel who has just come to me.’ She said, ‘Yes? Come, cousin, and sit by my left thigh.’ He came, and she said, ‘Can you see him?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Move around and sit by my right thigh.’ He did so and she said, ‘Can you see him?’ ‘Yes.’ She said, ‘Sit in my lap.’ He did so, and she said, ‘Can you see him?’ He replied, ‘Yes.’ She was grieved, and flung off her veil and disclosed her body while the Apostle was sitting in her lap.” Then she said, ‘Can you see him?’ ‘No.’ At that she said, ‘Rejoice cousin. By Allah, this spirit is an angel and not Satan.’”

Ishaq:106 “None of Allah’s creatures was more hateful to me than an ecstatic poet or a man possessed. I thought, ‘Woe is me, I’m a possessed poet.’” Ishaq:106 “I will go to the top of the mountain and throw myself down that I may kill myself and be at rest.”

Ishaq:106 “I stood gazing at him and that distracted me from committing suicide. I couldn’t move. Khadija sent her messengers in search of me and they gained the high ground above Mecca so I came to her and sat by her thigh. She said, ‘Abu’l-Qasim, where have you been?’ I said, ‘Woe is me. I am possessed.’ She said, ‘I take refuge in Allah from that Abu’l-Qasim. Allah would not treat you that way. This cannot be. Perhaps you did see something,’”

726Quran 075.001 “I call to witness and swear by the reprehensive person, the accusing soul, and self-reproaching spirit.”

Quran 068.001 “By the pen and that which they write. Quran 068.002 You are not, by the Rabb’s grace, a possessed madman.”

Quran 068.051 “And lo, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes through hatred when they hear the reminder, and they say, ‘Lo, he is possessed and mad!’”

Bukhari:V6B60N662 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Some eloquent speech is as effective as magic.’”

Bukhari:V6B60N658 “A man worked magic on Allah’s Apostle until he started imagining that he had done a thing that he had not really done.”

Muslim:B001N0244 & Bukhari:V4B54N496 “The Messenger of Allah observed: ‘Satan comes to every one of you and says, “Who created this and that,” until he asks, “Who created your Lord?” When he comes to that, one should seek refuge and keep away from such idle thoughts.’”

Bukhari:V4B54N533 “Muhammad preached, ‘Cover your utensils, tie your water skins, close your doors, and keep your children close at night, as Jinn spread out at such time and snatch things away. When you go to bed put out your lights, for they may use a candle to burn you and your house.’ Ata added, ‘The Prophet actually said, “Devils,” instead of “Jinn”.’”

Quran 072.013 “And, indeed, when we (Jinn) listened to the guidance (of this Quran), we believed therein and have accepted (Islam). And any whosoever believes in his lord has no fear of loss, force, or oppression.”

Bukhari:V4B54N506 “When a human being is born, Satan touches him at both sides of the body with his two fingers. That is why it cries.”

727Quran 081.024 “Neither is he a concealer, withholding knowledge of the unseen. Nor is it (the Quran) the Word of an evil spirit accursed, the utterance of a devil, the curses of Satan. And not he on the unseen a withholder or a tenacious concealer. Quran 081.025 And not it word of Satan accursed.”

Quran 006.066 “The people reject this (Book) and call it a lie though it is the truth. Say: ‘I am not a warden over you.’ ...When you see men who meddle with Our Revelations, turn away, withdrawing from them. Satan makes you forget.”

Ishaq:548 “By Allah, the black mass has spread.” Ishaq:548 “Abu Bakr said, ‘There is not much honesty among people now.’”

Ishaq:569 “When the Muslims fled, the uncouth and rude fellows from Mecca who were with us saw that we were in total disarray. Some of them spoke in a manner that disclosed the hatred they harbored against us. Abu Sufyan had divining arrows with him but another Muslim said, ‘Sorcery is useless today.’ Sufyan replied, ‘Shut up! May Allah smash your mouth!’”

Tabari IX:14 & Ishaq:572 “While the men were still fighting I saw a black striped garment descending from the sky until it dropped between us and the enemy. I gazed, and lo, it was a mass of black ants strewn everywhere, which filled the valley. I had no doubt that they were angels and that the enemy would be routed.”

Tabari IX:121 “The Messenger called me and said, ‘I suspect that Khalid Sufyan is going to attack me. So go to him and kill him.’ 728‘O Prophet, describe him to me so that I might know him.’ He said, ‘When you see him he will remind you of Satan.’”

Bukhari:V4B54N491 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘While you sleep, Satan ties three knots at the back of your head. He blows the following words at each knot, “The night is long so keep sleeping.” If that person wakes up and praises Allah, then one knot is undone. When he performs ablution the second is undone. When he prays, all the knots are undone, and he gets up in the morning lively and gay, otherwise he is dull and gloomy.’”

Bukhari:V7B71N660 “Magic was worked on Allah’s Apostle so that he used to think that he had sexual relations with his wives while he actually had not. That is the hardest kind of magic as it has such an effect. One day he said, ‘O Aisha, do you know that Allah has instructed me concerning the matter I asked Him about? Two men came to me and one of them sat near my head and the other near my feet. The one asked, “What is wrong with this man?” “He is under the effect of magic.” “Who cast the magic spell on him?” “Labid, an Arab ally of the Jews and a hypocrite.” “What material did he use to cast the spell?” “A comb with hair stuck to it.” “Where is that comb and hair?” “In a skin of pollen of a male palm tree kept under a stone in the well of Dharwan.”’ So the Prophet went to that well and took out those things, saying, ‘That was the well shown to me in the dream. Its water looked red and its palms looked like the heads of devils. My companions removed those things.’ I said, ‘Why didn’t you just treat yourself?’ He said, ‘Allah has cured me, and I don’t want to spread evil among my people.’”

Bukhari:V7B71N661 “Magic was worked on Allah’s Apostle and he was bewitched so that he began to imagine doing things which in fact, he had not done. While he was with me, he invoked Allah for a long period and then said, ‘Aisha! Do you know what Allah has instructed me to do regarding the matter I asked Him about?’ ‘What is that?’ He said, ‘Two men came to me. One said, “What is the disease of this man?” The other replied, “He is under the effect of magic.” “Who has worked magic on him?” “Labid, a Jew from the Zuraiq tribe.”’”

Bukhari:V5B58N200 “I carried a water pot for the Prophet’s ablution and for cleaning his private parts. While following him with the pot, the Prophet turned and said, ‘Who are you?’ ‘I am Abu.’ The Prophet said, ‘Bring me stones in order to clean my 729private parts, but do not bring any bones or animal dung.’ So I brought some stones, carrying them in the corner of my robe till I put them by his side. When he finished, I walked with him and asked, ‘What can you tell me about the bones and the animal dung?’ He said, ‘They are of the food of Jinns [Devils]. A delegate of Jinns of the city of Nasibin came to me—and how nice those Jinns were—and asked me for the remains of human food. I invoked Allah for them that they would never pass by a bone or animal dung but find food on them.’”

Bukhari:V4B54N484 “I heard Muhammad saying, ‘Fever is from the heat of the Hell Fire; so cool it with water.’”

Bukhari:V1B11N582 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘When the Adhan [the call to prayer] is announced, Satan takes to his heels and passes wind with noise during his flight in order not to hear the Adhan.’”

Bukhari:V3B33N254 “Satan circulates in the human being as blood circulates. I was afraid lest Satan might insert an evil thought in your minds.”

Tabari VI:107 “Satan Cast a False Quran Revelation on the Messenger of Allah’s Tongue.”

Quran 113.001 “Say, ‘I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn, Quran 113.002 from the evil of what he has created, Quran 113.003 and from the evil of the darkening as it comes with its intense darkness as it overspreads, Quran 113.004 and from the evil of malignant witchcraft when they blow on knots, Quran 113.005 and from the evil of the envier when he envies.’”

Bukhari:V7B71N643 “I heard the Prophet saying, ‘If anyone sees something he dislikes, he should blow three times on his left side and its evil will not harm him.’” Bukhari:V6B61N535 “Narrated Aisha: Whenever Allah’s Messenger became sick, he would recite Mu’awwidhat (Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nas) and then blow his breath over his body. When he became seriously ill, I used to recite (these two Suras) and rub his hands over his body hoping for its blessings.” Bukhari:V6B61N536 “When the Prophet went to bed he would cup his hands together and blow over them reciting surahs. He would then rub his hands over whatever parts of his body he could reach, starting with his head, face and frontal areas.”

730Quran 114.001 “Say: I seek refuge in (the) Rabbi | Lord of al-nasi | the foremost leader, Quran 114.002 Maliki | King al-nasi | the first and foremost, the ilah | god of the elevated ruler, Quran 114.003 ilahi | god al-nasi | exalted prince, Quran 114.004 from evil of the sneaking whisperer (the Devil) who (as Satan) breathes temptations and is withdrawn, Quran 114.005 the one who whispers in breasts of al-nasi | supreme leader Quran 114.006 from al-jinati | the jinn and devils wal-nasi | and the elevated and exalted governor.”

Quran 052.029 “Therefore remind for not you by grace of your Rabbi | Lord a vulgar soothsayer nor a possessed madman.”

Ishaq:205 & Tabari VI:133 “When we had all sworn the oath of allegiance to the Messenger, Satan shouted from the top of Aqabah in the most piercing and penetrating voice I have ever heard. ‘People of the stations of Mina, do you want to follow a blameworthy reprobate?’ The Messenger said, ‘What does the Enemy of God say?’ ‘I am the Devil, and I shall deal with you!’”

Ishaq:262 “‘To arms! To arms!’ the Muslims said quarreling and boasting among themselves. When this reached the Prophet, he said, ‘Muslims, will you act as pagans while I am with you?’ They realized that their dissension was due to Satan and the guile of their enemy. Then they went off with the Apostle attentive and obedient.”

Quran 002.102 “They follow what al-Shayatin | the Adversary, Satan, recited over the kingdom of Sulaiman | Solomon. Solomon never disbelieved. The al-Shayatin | the Adversary, Satan denied and disbelieved, teaching people magic and sorcery, and such things that came down at Babylon to the two angels, Harut, and Marut. And they both did not teach any one unless they both said, ‘We are only a temptation and trial, so do not deny or disbelieve.’ But from those two they learned what causes division with it between the man and his wife. And they could not harm them or profit them except by al-Lahi’s permission. And, indeed, they knew that whoever buys it, lahu | for him, (there is) no share in the hereafter. And, indeed, evil is what they sold themselves with if they but knew.”

731Quran 003.175 “Only that al-Shaitan | the Adversary, Satan, frightens his auliya’ | supporters and friends, so fear them not, but fear Me, if you are believers.”

Predestination

Tabari I:202 “There are people who consider predestination untrue. Then they consider the Quran untrue… People merely carry out what is a foregone conclusion, decided by predestination and written down by the Pen.”

Quran 097.001 “Lo, we revealed it (the Quran) in (the) Night (of) al-qadri | Predestination.”

Bukhari:V6B60N473 “Every created soul has his place written for him either in Paradise or in the Hell Fire. His happy or miserable fate is predetermined for him.”

Bukhari:V6B60N473 “While we were in a funeral procession, Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Every created soul has his place written for him either in Paradise or in Hell. They have a happy or miserable fate predestined for them.’ A man said, ‘Apostle! Shall we depend upon what is written and give up doing deeds? For whoever is destined to be fortunate, will join the fortunate and whoever is destined to be miserable will go to Hell.’”

Tabari I:306 “The Messenger said, ‘Allah created Adam and then rubbed Adam’s back with his right hand and brought forth his progeny.’ Then He said, ‘I have created these as the inhabitants of Paradise.’ Then he rubbed his back with His left hand and said, ‘I have created those for the Fire, and they will act as the inhabitants of the Fire.’ A man asked, ‘O Messenger, how is that?’ Muhammad replied, ‘When Allah creates a human being for Paradise, He employs him to act as the inhabitants of Paradise, and he will enter Paradise. And when Allah creates a human being for the Fire, He will employ him to act as the inhabitants of the Fire, and will thus make him enter the Fire.’”

732Tabari I:305 “Then Allah rubbed Adam’s back and brought forth his progeny. And every living being to be created by Allah to the Day of Resurrection came forth at Na’man. He scattered them in front of him like tiny ants. He made covenants with them…. He took two handfuls and said to those on the right, ‘Enter Paradise! And He said to the others, ‘Enter the Fire! I do not care.’”

Bukhari:V4B55N550 “The Prophet said, ‘Allah has appointed an angel in the womb, and the angel says, “Lord, a drop of semen discharge. Lord, a clot, Lord, a piece of flesh. And then, if Allah wishes to complete the child’s creation, the angel will say. “Lord, male or a female? Lord, wretched or blessed in religion? What will his livelihood be? What will his age be?” The angel writes all this while the child is in the womb of its mother.’”

Bukhari:V4B54N430 “Allah’s Apostle, the true and truly inspired said, ‘Regarding the matter of the creation of a human being: humans are put together in the womb of the mother in forty days. Then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period. He becomes a piece of flesh for forty days. Then Allah sends an angel who is ordered to write four things: the new creature’s deeds, livelihood, date of death, and whether he will be blessed or wretched. He will do whatever is written for him.’”

Bukhari:V7B71N665 “The Prophet said, ‘No contagious disease is conveyed without Allah’s permission.’”

Quran 052.007 “Lo, punishing torment your Lord (will) surely occur. Quran 052.008 Not for it any preventer, none can avert it.”

Quran 064.011 “No calamity befalls or disaster strikes, except by the decision and permission of al-Lahi.”

733Muhammad’s Morality

Quran 066.001 “O Prophet! Why you forbid and prohibit what al-Lahu has made lawful for you? (Are you) seeking to please your wives? And al-Lahu oft-forgiving, most Rahim. Quran 066.002 Lo, al-Lahu has ordained, authorized, and sanctioned for you dissolution of your vows, promises, and oaths.”

Bukhari:V4B52N143 “The Prophet told an Ansar, ‘Choose one of your slave boys to serve me in my expedition to Khaybar.’ So, he chose me, even though I was just nearing puberty. I served Muhammad when he stopped to rest. I heard him saying repeatedly, ‘Allah! I seek refuge with you from distress and sorrow, from helplessness and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, from being heavily in debt and from being overcome by men.’”

Quran 008.029 “O you who believe! If you obey and fear Allah, He will grant you a criterion to judge between right and wrong, or a way to overlook your evil thoughts and deeds.”

Quran 008.068 “Were it not for a previous ordainment from al-Lahi and predetermined, indeed, a severe punishment, an awful doom, (would) have befallen you for what you took.”

Quran 008.069 “So enjoy and eat what you took as lawful booty (and) good plunder. And fear al-Laha. Verily, al-Laha (is) Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.”

Ishaq:327 “Allah made booty lawful and good. He used it to incite the Muslims to unity of purpose. So enjoy what you have captured.”

Tabari VI:89 “Utaibah came before the Prophet and said: ‘I repudiate Islam.’ Then he spat at him, but his spital did not fall on him. The Prophet prayed: ‘O Allah, subject him to the power of a dog from among Your dogs.’”

734Ishaq:106 “I will go to the top of the mountain and throw myself down that I may kill myself and be at rest.”

Quran 070.028 “Preserve their chastity except with their wives and the slave girls they possess, for which there is no blame.”

Tabari VIII:116 & Ishaq:511 “So Muhammad began seizing their herds and their property bit by bit. He conquered Khaybar home by home. The first stronghold defeated was Naim. The Messenger took some of its people captive, including Safiyah bt. Huyayy, the wife of Kinanah and her two cousins. The Prophet chose Safiyah for himself.”

Tabari VIII:121 & Ishaq:515 “Ali struck the Jew with a swift blow that split his helmet, neck protector, and head, landing in his rear teeth. Then when the Muslims entered the city, Muhammad conquered Qamus, the neighborhood of Abi Huqayq. Safiyah bt. Huyayy was brought to him, and another woman with her. Bilal led them past some of the Jews we had slain including the woman’s dead husband. When she saw them, the woman with Safiyah cried out, slapped her face, and poured dust on her head. When Allah’s Prophet saw her, he said, ‘Take this she-devil away from me!’”

Tabari VIII:123 & Ishaq:515 “Allah’s Apostle besieged the final [Jewish] community of Khaybar until they could hold out no longer. Finally, when they were certain that they would perish, they asked Muhammad to banish them and spare their lives, which he did. The Prophet took possession of all their property.”

Tabari VIII:124 & Ishaq:516 & Bukhari:V5B59N541 “Having finished with Khaybar, the Apostle went to Wadi Qura and besieged its people for a while. Then we headed back to Medina, halting at Qura toward sunset. With Muhammad was a slave lad of his whom Rifa’ah had given him. Suddenly, as we were setting down the saddle of the Prophet, a stray arrow came and hit the slave boy, killing him. We congratulated him, saying, ‘May he enjoy Paradise!’ But Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Certainly not! The sheet of cloth on his back is now being burnt on him in the Hell Fire!’ He pilfered it from the booty of the Muslims following the Khaybar raid before it was duly distributed.”

Tabari VIII:12 “‘Rejoice, Allah has promised us victory after tribulation.’ This increased the Muslims faith and submission.” “When cities were conquered Muslims used to say, ‘Conquer for 735yourselves whatever seems good to you because all treasures were given to Muhammad.”

Quran 024.058 “Believers, let your slave girls, and those who have not come to puberty, ask permission on three occasions: before dawn, while you take off your clothes at midday, and after the night prayer. These are your times of undress, times of privacy for you. Outside those times it is not wrong for them to move about: Thus does Allah make clear the signs.”

Ishaq:535 “The women began to cry after learning about Ja’far’s death. Disturbed, Muhammad told Abd-Rahman to silence them. When they wouldn’t stop wailing, Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Go and tell them to be quiet, and if they refuse throw dust in their mouths.’” So much for honoring martyrs.

Quran 064.014 “Believers, truly, among your wives and your children there are enemies for you: so beware of them... Your wealth and your children are only a trial.”

Tabari VIII:183 “When the Messenger was finished with the men’s swearing of allegiance, the women swore allegiance.”

Tabari VIII:183 “You are swearing allegiance to me on condition that you will associate nothing with Allah.’ ‘By Allah, you are imposing something on us that you did not impose on the men,’ one of the women said.” Tabari VIII:183 “‘Do not kill your children,’ the woman said, ‘We raised them and you killed them. You know better about killing them than we do.’”

736Bukhari:V1B4N1229-33 “Aisha [who was 9] said, ‘I used to wash the semen off the clothes of the Prophet [who was 68]. When he went for prayers I used to notice one or more spots on them.’”

If justice is not to be found with me, then with whom is it to be found?’” “Umar said, ‘Muhammad, allow me to kill him.’” Ishaq:595 “The Apostle said, ‘Get him away from me and cut off his tongue.’”

Bukhari:V4B53N374 “The Prophet said, ‘I give to the Quraysh so that they will desire Islam, for they are nearer to their life of Ignorance and it is not strong in their hearts.’”

Ishaq:596 “‘Prophet, this group of Ansar have a grudge against you for what you did with the booty and how you divided it among you own people.’ After due praise and exaltation of Allah, he addressed them. ‘Ansar, what is this talk I hear from you? What is the grudge you harbor in your hearts against me? Do you think ill of me? Did I not come to you when you were erring and needy, and then made rich by Allah?’ ‘You came to us discredited, when 737your message was rejected by the Quraysh, and we believed you. You were forsaken and deserted and we assisted you. You were a fugitive and we took you in, sheltering you. You were poor and in need, and we comforted you.”

Tabari IX:37 & Ishaq:596 “Do you hold a grudge against me and are you mentally disturbed because of the worldly things by which I conciliate a people and win them over so that they will embrace Islam and become Muslims?”

Tabari IX:60 “On the way, Muhammad ordered that whoever got to the first well before him should not drink until he arrived. Some of the hypocrites arrived and drew water. The Prophet cursed them and invoked Allah’s curse on them.”

Tabari VIII:38 “The Prophet selected for himself from among the Jewish women of the Qurayza, Rayhanah bt. Amr. She became his concubine. When he predeceased her, she was still in his possession. When the Messenger of Allah took her as a captive, she showed herself averse to Islam and insisted on Judaism.”

Ishaq:466 “The Apostle chose one of the Jewish women for himself. Her name was Rayhanah. She remained with him until she died, in his power.”

Tabari VIII:97 “When I returned to Medina, the Prophet met me in the market and said, ‘Salamah, how excellent the father who begot you! Give me the woman.’ I said, ‘Holy Prophet of Allah, I like her, and I have not uncovered her garment.’ Muhammad said nothing to me until the next day. He again met me in the market and said, ‘Salamah, give me the woman.’ I said, ‘Prophet, I have not uncovered her garment but she is yours.’ Muhammad sent her to 738Mecca, and with her he ransomed some Muslim captives who were in the hands of the Quraysh.”

Ishaq:467 “Allah addressed the believers and said, ‘In Allah’s Apostle you have a fine example for anyone who hopes to be in the place where Allah is.’”

Love of Money

Quran 064.016 “So fear al-Laha as much as you can; listen and obey; then spend. That (is) better for yourselves. And whosoever is saved from his soul’s covetousness, then those, they, the successful.”

Tabari VI:82 “I asked Abbas, ‘What is this religion?’ He answered, ‘This is Muhammad bin Abdallah, who claims that Allah has sent him as His Messenger with this religion and that the treasures of Chusroes and Caesar will be given to him by conquest.’”

Ishaq:113 “When I was a merchant I came to Mecca during the hajj pilgrimage. While I was there a man came out to pray and stood facing the Ka’aba. Then a woman and a boy came out and stood praying with him. I asked, ‘What is their religion? It is something new to me.’ Abbas said, ‘This is Muhammad who alleges that Allah has sent him with it so that the treasures of Chusroes and Caesar will be open to him. The woman is his wife Khadija who believes in him.’”

Bukhari:V4B56N793 “The Prophet said, ‘If you live long enough the treasures of Khosrau will be opened and taken as spoils. You will carry out handfuls of gold and silver.’”

Bukhari:V4B56N795 “I have been given the keys of the treasures of the world by Allah.”

Tabari VIII:16 & Ishaq:454 “Soon the trial became great for the Muslims and fear intensified. Their foe came at them from above and below, so the believers were beset with fear. The hypocrisy of the hypocrites became evident. One said, ‘Muhammad was promising us that we should eat up the treasures of Chosroes 739[Persians] and Caesar [Byzantines], and now none of us even can go out to relieve himself!’”

Quran 093.004 “Surely what comes after is better for you than the present. Quran 093.005 For your Lord gives to you so you shall be well pleased. Quran 093.006 Did He not find you an orphan and give you a refuge? Quran 093.007 And find you lost and perplexed, unaware, and show you the way? Quran 093.008 Did He not find you poor and made you rich?”

Quran 108.001 “To you have We granted Kausar, the fountain of abundance.”

Tabari VI:95 “Abu Talib said to Muhammad, ‘Nephew, how is it that your tribe is complaining about you and claiming that you are reviling their gods and saying this, that, and the other?’ Then Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Uncle, I want them to utter one saying. If they say it, the Arabs will submit to them and the non-Arabs will pay the jizyah tax.’”

Tabari VIII:122 & Ishaq:515 “Abi Huqayq [Safiyah’s father] held the treasure of the Nadir [the second Jewish tribe Muhammad exiled from Yathrib]. He was brought to Allah’s Messenger, and he questioned him. But Huqayq denied knowing where it was. So the Prophet questioned other Jews. One said, ‘I have seen Kinanah [Safiyah’s husband] walk around a ruin.’ Muhammad had Kinanah brought to him and said, ‘Do you know that if we find it, I shall kill you.’ ‘Yes,’ Kinanah answered.’ The Prophet gave orders concerning Kinanah to Zubayr, saying, ‘Torture him until you root out and extract what he has. So Zubayr kindled a fire on Kinanah’s chest, twirling it with his stick until 740Kinanah was near death. Then the Messenger gave him to Maslamah, who beheaded him.”

Ishaq:515 “When the people of Fadak heard of what had happened, they sent word to the Messenger, asking him to banish them and spare their lives, saying they too would leave him their property. When the people of Khaybar surrendered on these conditions, the survivors asked Muhammad to employ them on their farms for a half share of whatever they produced. They said, ‘We know more about farming.’ So Muhammad made peace with them for a half share, provided that: ‘If we want to expel you, we may.’ He made a similar arrangement with Fadak. So Khaybar became the prey of the Muslims, while Fadak belonged exclusively to the Messenger of Allah, becoming his personal property, because the Muslims had not attacked its people with cavalry.”

Quran 008.001 “They ask you about the spoils of war. Say, ‘The spoils of war (are) for Lillahi and the Rasuli. So fear al-Laha and adjust everything between you to obey al-Laha and His Rasul | Messenger if you are believers.’”

Tabari VIII:142 “Whoever prays our prayer, eats of our sacrifice, and turns to our Qiblah is a Muslim. Incumbent on whoever refuses is the payment of the jizyah tax.”

Quran 009.055 “Let not their wealth nor their sons dazzle you or excite your admiration (Muhammad). Quran 009.057 Some slander you, blaming you (of partiality) in the matter of (the distribution of) the offerings [stolen spoils]. If they are given part of these, they are pleased, but if not they are indignant.”

Quran 009.059 “If only they had been content with what Allah and His Messenger gave them, and said, ‘Sufficient is Allah! His Messenger will soon give us his bounty. We beg Allah to enrich us.’”

Quran 009.075 “Amongst them are men who made a deal with Allah, that if He bestowed on them of His bounty [booty], they would pay in zakat tax. But when He did bestow of His bounty, they became niggardly, and turned back, averse (refusing to pay).”

Quran 005.013 “Loan Allah a beautiful loan, verily I will wipe out from your evils, and admit you to Gardens of Demons.”

Quran 005.119 “Allah will say: This is the day on which the Muslims will profit from Islam…”

741Bukhari:V4B53N376 “While Allah’s Apostle was accompanied by the people on their way back from Hunayn, the Bedouins started begging for things so aggressively that they forced him to go under a Samura tree where his outer garment was snatched away. On that, Allah’s Apostle stood up and said, ‘Return my clothes. If I had as many camels as these trees, I would have distributed them amongst you; and you will not find me a miser.’”

Bukhari:V4B53N377 “While I was walking with the Prophet he was wearing a Najrani outer garment with a thick hem. A Bedouin came upon him and pulled his garment so violently that I could see the imprint of the hem on his shoulder caused by the violence of his pull. The Bedouin said, ‘Give me something from Allah’s Fortune which you have.’ The Prophet turned, smiled, and ordered that a gift should be given.”

Bukhari:V4B53N375 “When Allah favored His Apostle with the properties of the Hawazin tribe as Fai booty, he started giving to some of the Meccan men up to one-hundred camels each. Whereupon some Ansari said, ‘May Allah forgive His Apostle! He is giving to the Quraysh and leaving us out, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dripping with the blood of the infidels.’ When Muhammad was informed of what they had said, he called for the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent. ‘What is the statement which I have been informed?’ The smart ones replied, ‘Allah’s Apostle, the wise ones did not say anything, but the youngsters said, “May Allah forgive his Apostle; he enriches the Quraysh and leaves the Ansar poor, in spite of the fact that Ansar swords are still dribbling with the blood of the infidels.”’ The Prophet replied, ‘I give them more because they are still close to the period of Infidelity and have just recently embraced Islam. You should be pleased to see them becoming rich.’”

Tabari IX:36 & Ishaq:596 “‘Prophet, this group of Ansar have a grudge against you for what you did with the booty and how you divided it among your own people.’ ‘Ansar, what is this talk I hear from you? What is the grudge you harbor? Do you think ill of me? Did I not come to you when you were erring and needy, and then made rich by Allah? Do you hold a grudge against me and are you mentally disturbed because of the worldly things by which I conciliate a people and win them over so that they will embrace Islam and become Muslims?”

742Tabari IX:79 “In this year the zakat was made obligatory, and the Messenger dispatched his agents to collect it. The verse was revealed: ‘Take the zakat from their wealth to purify them.’”

Tabari IX:86 “He orders you to give one fifth of Allah’s booty and pay the zakat tax. It is enjoined on the faithful from their land and property…. And don’t seduce the Jews or Christians for incumbent on them is to pay the jizyah protection tax. Allah’s Apostle dispersed his representatives to every land where Islam had entered to collect the zakat.”

Bukhari:V5B59N546 “Fatimah, the daughter of the Prophet, sent someone to Bakr, asking for her inheritance of what Allah’s Apostle had left of the property taken from the Fai booty gained without fighting in Medina and Fadak, and what remained of the Khumus of the Khaybar booty.”

Bukhari:V9B84N59 “When the Prophet died, Arabs reverted to disbelief. Umar asked Bakr, ‘Should we fight these people? Remember, Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been ordered to fight everyone until they say: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,”’ Bakr replied, ‘By Allah! I will fight whoever differentiates between Salat [prayer performance] and Zakat [tax payment], as the Zakat must be taken from property according to Allah’s Orders. If they refuse to pay me, I will fight them.’ Umar said, ‘I noticed that Allah opened Bakr up to the decision to fight.’”

Bukhari:V5B57N119 “The people used to send presents to the Prophet on the day of Aisha’s turn [to have sex with him]. Aisha said, ‘His other wives gathered in the apartment of Um Salama and said, “Um, the people send presents on the day of Aisha’s turn and we too, love the good presents just as much as she does. You should tell Allah’s Apostle to order the people to send their presents to him regardless of whose turn it may be.” Um repeated that to the Prophet and he turned away from her. When the Prophet returned to Um, she repeated the request again. The Prophet again turned away. After the third time, the Prophet said, “Um, don’t trouble me by harming Aisha, for by Allah, the Divine Inspiration never came to me while I was under the blanket of any woman among you except her.”’”

Quran 002.245 “Who (is) he that will loan al-Laha a beautiful loan, which al-Lahu will double to his credit and multiply many 743times? And al-Lahu withholds and grants abundance and to Him you will be returned.”

Bukhari:V9B87N127 “The Prophet said, ‘I have been given the keys of eloquent speech and given victory with terror so the treasures of the earth were given to me.’”

Quran 063.010 “And spend what We have provided you before death comes to one of you and he says, ‘My Rabbi! Why don’t You delay me for a term near so then I would give Sadaqah (i.e. Zakat) and be among the right? Quran 063.011 But never will be delayed (by) al-Lahu a soul when has come its term. And al-Lahu All-Aware of what you do.” [The Noble Quran footnotes a Bukhari Hadith to explain this verse.] “The Prophet said, ‘Everyday two angels come down from heaven. One says, “O Allah, reward every person who spends in Your Cause.” The other says, “O Allah, destroy every miser.”’”

Tabari VII:106 “Abu Azzah, you are a poet, so aid us with your tongue. Join our expedition and I swear before Allah I will make you a rich man.’”

Quran 003.014 “Beautified for mankind love the things desire of the women, the sons, the heaps stored up of the gold and the silver, and the horses, the branded, and the cattle, and the tilled land. That provision of the life of the world. But al-Lahu, with Him, excellent abode to return.”

Quran 003.181 “Verily al-Lahu heard saying those who said, ‘Verily, al-Laha poor while we rich!’ We will record their saying and their killing the prophets without right. And We will say, ‘Taste the punishment of the Scorching Fire!’”

Quran 008.069 “So enjoy and eat what you took as lawful booty (and) good plunder. And fear al-Laha.”

Ishaq:327 “Allah made booty lawful and good. He used it to incite the Muslims to unity of purpose. So enjoy what you have captured.”

Ishaq:324 “Allah taught them how to divide the spoil. He made it lawful and said, ‘A fifth of the booty belongs to the Apostle.’”

Quran 033.051 “You may put off whom you please of them, or you may take for yourself whomever you desire of those whom you have set aside. Then there is no blame on you. That more suitable that may be cooled their eyes and not they grieve and they may be pleased with what you have given them, all of them. And al-Lahu know what in your hearts. And al-Lahu knower, forbearing.”

Tabari VIII:187 “The [78-year-old] Messenger of Allah married Mulaykah. She was young and beautiful. One of the Prophet’s wives came to her and said, ‘Are you not ashamed to marry a man who killed your father during the day he conquered Mecca?’ She therefore took refuge from him.”

Quran 066.004 “If you two (women, namely Aisha and Hafsa) repent and turn to al-Lahi so, lo, inclined your hearts, But if it becomes apparent you backup each other against him (Muhammad), then, lo, verily, al-Laha, He, maw-lahu | nearby for him, allied with him and protective of him, and Jib’rilu | Gabriel, and asalihu | righteous and fit good-deed doers of the believers, and after that, the angels appear.

Bukhari:V4B52N143 / V5B59N523 “When we reached Khaybar, Muhammad said that Allah had enabled him to conquer them. It was then that the beauty of Safiyah was described to him. Her husband had been killed [actually tortured and then 745decapitated], so Allah’s Apostle selected her for himself. He took her along with him till we reached a place called Sad where her menses were over and he took her for his wife, consummating his marriage to her, and forcing her to wear the veil.’” Tabari VIII:122 “Muhammad commanded that Safiyah should be kept behind him and he threw his cloak over her. Thus the Muslims knew that he had chosen her for himself.”

Ishaq:517 “When the Apostle married [using a word designed to convey the nature of a moral and loving relationship to this situation is repulsive] Safiyah on his way out of town, she was beautified and combed, putting her in a fitting state for the Messenger. The Apostle passed the night with her in his tent. Abu Ayyub, girt with his sword, guarded the Apostle, going round the tent until he saw him emerge in the morning.

Tabari IX:131 “My mother came to me while I was being swung on a swing between two branches and got me down. My nurse took over and wiped my face with some water and started leading me.

I answered, ‘A matron.’ He said, ‘Why not a virgin who would have played with you? Then you could have played with her.’ ‘Apostle! My father was martyred and I have some young sisters, so I felt it not proper that I should marry a young girl as young as them.’”

Tabari VIII:1 “In this year the Messenger married Zaynab bt. Jahsh [a first cousin]: Allah’s Messenger came to the house of Zayd bin [son of] Muhammad. Perhaps the Messenger missed him at that moment. Zaynab, Zayd’s wife, rose to meet him. Because she was dressed only in a shift, the Holy Prophet turned away from her. She said: ‘He is not here. Come in, you are as dear to me as my father and mother!’ Muhammad refused to enter. Zaynab had dressed in haste when she heard that the Prophet was at her door. She jumped up eagerly and excited the admiration of Allah’s Messenger, so that he turned away murmuring something that could scarcely be understood. However, he did say overtly, ‘Glory be to Allah Almighty, who causes hearts to turn!’”

Tabari VIII:4 “One day Muhammad went out looking for Zayd. Now there was a covering of haircloth over the doorway, but the wind had lifted the covering so that the doorway was uncovered. Zaynab was in her chamber, undressed, and admiration for her entered the heart of the Prophet. After that Allah made her unattractive to Zayd.’”

Tabari VIII:3 “Zayd left her, and she became free. While the Messenger of Allah was talking with Aisha, a fainting overcame him. When he was released from it, he smiled and said, ‘Who will go to Zaynab to tell her the good news? Allah has married her to me.’ Then the Prophet recited [Quran 033.001-053] to the end of the passage. Aisha said, ‘I became very uneasy because of what we heard about her beauty and another thing, the loftiest of matters, 748what Allah had done for her by personally giving her to him in marriage. I said that she would boast of it over us.’”

Quran 033.006 “The Prophet awla | closer, more worthy, with a greater claim on the faithful believers than their own selves. And his wives (are) their mothers. And the people’s relatives, some of them closer to another in dictates and decrees of al-Lahi than the believers and those who fled, abandoned and forsaken (emigrants) except that you do to your closer allies and protectors a suitable acknowledgment. That is, that is in the written.”

Quran 033.037 “When you said to the one al-Lahu for him comforted and convenienced, and you provided comforts and conveniences on him, ‘Keep to yourself your woman and fear al-Laha.’ But you concealed within yourself what al-Lahu disclose. And you fear the people and al-Lahu has more right that you should fear Him. So when ended Zayd from her necessary, We married her to you so that not there be on the believers any discomfort concerning the women of their adopted sons when they have ended from the necessary. And is command al-Lahi accomplished. Quran 033.038 Not be upon the Prophet any discomfort, constraint, or blame in what al-Lahu has imposed lahu | for him. Way al-Lahi concerning those who passed away from before. And is command of al-Lahi is a decree determined as destiny. (It is the practice of those) who deliver the Messages of Allah, and fear Him. Allah keeps good account. Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the Last of the Prophets with the Seal: and Allah has full knowledge of all things.”

Quran 033.050 “O Prophet! Verily, We, Ourselves, have made lawful to your women who you have paid dowers [with stolen property]; and those whom your hands possess out of the prisoners of war spoils from those al-Lahu has assigned and given to you; and daughters of your paternal uncles, daughters of your maternal aunts, daughters of your paternal uncles, and daughters of your maternal aunts who migrated with you; and a believing woman who gives herself to the Prophet if the Prophet wishes to have her. (This privilege is) only for you, alone, excluding rest of the Believers. We know what We have made obligatory on them concerning the women and the captives whom they possess in order that there should be any discomfort for you. Al-Lahu forgiving, merciful.”

749Quran 033.051 “You may put off whom you please of them, or you may take for yourself whomever you desire of those whom you have set aside. Then there is no blame on you. That more suitable that may be cooled their eyes and not they grieve and they may be pleased with what you have given them, all of them. And al-Lahu know what in your hearts. And al-Lahu knower, forbearing.”

Quran 033.028 “O Prophet, say to your wives and consorts: ‘If you desire the life the world and its adornment, then come! I will provide for you and release you, a release good. Quran 033.029 But if you desire al-Laha and His Rasuli and the hereafter home, then lo, al-Laha has prepared for the good-deed doers among you an immense reward.”

Quran 033.030 “O women of the Prophet! Whoever commits from you clear immorality will be doubled for her the tormenting punishment and two-fold. And that is, that is for al-Lahi easy. Quran 033.031 But whosoever is obedient and submissive among you to Lillahi and His Rasuli and does right, We will give her reward twice. We have prepared for her a generously rich and noble provision.”

Quran 033.032 “O women of the Prophet! You are not like anyone among the (other) women. If you fear, then do not be lowly and submissive in speech lest should be moved with covetousness and desire he who in his heart a disordering and distempering disease, but say a saying recognizable.”

Bukhari:V5B59N459 “I entered the Mosque and asked about sex. Abu Said said, ‘We went out with Allah’s Apostle and we received female slaves from among the captives. We desired women and we loved to do coitus interruptus.’”

They will not urinate, relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal secretions. Their 751combs will be gold and their sweat will smell like musk. Their companions will be houris (virgins). All of them will look alike and will be sixty cubits (180 feet) tall.’”

Bukhari:V8B76N542 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘The believers, after being saved from the Fire, will be stopped at a bridge between Paradise and Hell and mutual retaliation will be established among them regarding wrongs they have committed in the world against one another. After they are cleansed and purified through the retaliation, they will be admitted into Paradise.’”

Therein rivers of water not polluted and rivers milk not changes its taste and rivers of wine delicious for drinkers and rivers of honey purified and for them therein of all fruits and forbiveness from their Lord like he who abide forever in the Fire and they will be given to drink boiling water so it cuts their intestines into pieces.”

When you see them you would think of them as scattered pearls. Quran 076.021 Upon their bodies fine silk garments, green and brocade. And they will be adorned (with) bracelets of silver. And their Lord will give them to drink, a drink pure and holy.”

Quran 077.041 “Lo, those who guard their duty and fear, in shades and springs, Quran 077.042 and fruits from what they desire. Quran 077.043 Eat and drink (to) satisfaction for what you used to do. Quran 077.044 Lo! We thusly reward the good-deed-doers.”

Bukhari:V4B54N476-544 “The Prophet said, ‘In Paradise they will not urinate, relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal secretions. Everyone will have two virgins who will be so beautiful and transparent the bones of their legs will be seen through their flesh.’”

Quran 052.017 “Verily, those who guard and fear, keeping their duty in Gardens of Demonic Pleasure.

And We will pair, mate, and join them with beautiful houris | fair female maidens, virgins (with) wide, lovely eyes.”

Quran 052.021 “And those who believed and whose offspring followed them in Faith, we joined with them their offspring. And now will We deprive them of their deeds, from every thing a person has earned (is) pledged. Quran 052.022 And We will provide them with fruit and meat from what they desire. Quran 052.023 They will pass to one another, exchanging therein, a cup, wherein is nothing laghwun | dirty, false, evil, or vague speech, neither frivolous nor vain, and no sin. Quran 052.024 And will circulate among them, boys for them of their own, attending to and serving them, as handsome as well-protected pearls. They will advance to each other, drawing near, engaging in mutual enquiry. They will say: ‘We used to be afraid (of the punishment) in the midst of our families, but Allah has been good to us, and has delivered us from the torment of the Scorching Wind and Breath of Fire.”

Quran 055.046 “But for him who stands in fear of his Lord, awestruck and terrorized, are two gardens of demons and devils. So 753which of the favors of your Lord will you both then deny? Having spreading branches in both of them, two springs flowing. In both of them, pairs of all fruits. Reclining on couches and carpets, with inner linings of silk brocade, and the fruits of the gardens within reach and near. So which of the favors of your Lord will you both then deny? Quran 055.062 Besides these two, devilish gardens.”

Allah’s Hell

Quran 056.041 “But those of the left hand, who will be those of the left hand, Quran 056.042 in scorching wind and scalding water, Quran 056.043 and shadow of thick black smoke, Quran 056.044 neither cool nor refreshing. Quran 056.045 Verily, before that, they indulged in luxury, Quran 056.046 And were persisting in the great sin. Quran 056.047 And they said, ‘When we die and become dust and bones, shall we then, indeed, be raised? Quran 056.048 And so will our fathers.’ Quran 056.049 Say, ‘Lo, those of old and the later time, Quran 056.050 Will surely be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a day well-known and predetermined.’ Quran 056.051-56 “Then lo you, the astray, the astray erring deniers. Lo, you will eat the tree of Zaqqum (thorns). Then will fill with it the bellies. And drink boiling and scalding water on top of it. Lapping it up like female camels raging of thirst. Such is their welcome and entertainment on the Day of Doom!”

Bukhari:V8B76N537 “The Prophet said, ‘Allah will say, Adam!’ ‘I am obedient to Your orders.’ Allah will say, ‘Bring out the people of the Fire.’ ‘How many are the people of the Fire?’ Allah will say, ‘Out of every thousand take out nine hundred and ninety-nine persons. At that time children will become hoary-headed and every pregnant female will drop her load. You will see the people as if they were drunk.’ Allah’s punishment will be very severe.”

Quran 037.019-23 “Then it will be limited to a single cry, one scream, then lo, they will see! And they will say, ‘O woe to us this Day of Doom.’ This is the Day of Judgment which you used to deny. Assemble the zalam | unfair and their ilk, whatever they worship beside al-Lahi. Then lead them to the way of the Hell-Fire.”

754Quran 037.063 “For We have truly made it as a trial to torment the disbelievers. Zaqqum is a horrible thorn tree that grows in Hell. The shoots of its fruit-stalks are like the heads of devils. Truly they will eat it and fill their bellies with it. On top of that they will be given a mixture made of boiling water to drink especially prepared. Then they shall be returned to the Blazing Fire.”

Quran 074.008 “When the trumpet is sounded, Quran 074.009 surely that day will be of anguish, Quran 074.010 not at ease for disbelievers. Quran 074.011 Leave Me alone to deal with the creature whom I created bare and alone!”

Quran 096.015 “Nay, if ceases not, we will catch him by the forelock, a lying, sinful forelock! Then, let him call upon his henchmen. We will call the guards of Hell Nay! Do not obey him. Fall prostrate and draw nigh. We will call on the angels of punishment to deal with him!”

Quran 074.015 “After all that he wants that I should give more. Quran 074.016 Never. Nay! Verily, he has been stubborn, opposing Our signs and proofs. Quran 074.017 I shall inflict on him hardship. I will impose a severe torment and fearful doom, a distressing punishment to overtake him. Quran 074.018 Verily, he had thought, considered, and then calculated. Quran 074.019 So may he be cursed, and destroyed. Woe to him, how he plotted and planned. Quran 074.020 And more, let him be cursed, how he plotted.”

Quran 074.026 “I will cast him into the Hell-Fire! Quran 074.027 And what will make you know exactly what Hell-Fire is? Quran 074.028 It leaves nothing and spares naught. Quran 074.029 Burning the skins, scorching the mortal. Quran 074.031 And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire, and We have fixed their number only as a contentious trial for the disbelievers, in order that the people of the writing may arrive at a certainty and the believers may increase in Faith and that no doubts may be left for the people of the writing and the believers, and that those skeptics and infidels in whose hearts is a disease and the disbelievers may say: ‘What does God intend by this example and parable?’”

Quran 075.020 “Nay! You love this fleeting life Quran 075.021 And neglect, leaving alone, the hereafter. Quran 075.022 Some faces that Day will be bright Quran 075.023 looking for their Lord, Quran 075.024 and some faces that day will be sad, Quran 075.025 knowing 755that some great disaster is going to be inflicted on them, calamitous and back-breaking. Quran 075.026 Nay! When it comes up to the collar bone, Quran 075.027 and it is said, ‘Is there a reciter of charms, a magician, or a wizard?’ Quran 075.028 And he will know that it was of parting, Quran 075.029 and one leg will be joined to another, agony heaped on anguish.”

Quran 067.005 “Lo! we have adorned the lowest heaven with lamps, and we have made such lamps as missiles to drive away ha Shayatin | the Adversary, these Satanic devils, and we have prepared for them the doom of Hell, the penalty of torment in the most intense Blazing Fire. Quran 067.006 And for those who reject and believe not in their Rabbi | Lord is the punishment of Hell, such a wretched destination – a hapless journey’s end and evil resort. Quran 067.007 When they are flung in, they will hear the terrible drawing in of their breath, roar and raging. Quran 067.008 It bursts with fury and rage. Whenever a fresh host and new crowd is cast in, its wardens will ask, ‘Did no warner come to you?’”

Quran 069.027 “‘I wish death had put an end to me. Quran 069.028 Of no use was my wealth. Quran 069.029 My power has gone from me.’ Quran 069.030 Seize him, manacle and fetter him, Quran 069.031 and throw him in, burning in the blazing fire. Quran 069.032 String him up, fastened to a chain of 70 cubits. Quran 069.033 Verily, he did not believe in God, Most Great, Quran 069.034 And urged not feeding the indignant wretched. Quran 069.035 Therefore no friend has he this day, Quran 069.036 nor food except filth from washing wounds Quran 069.037 which none but disbelieving polytheists eat.”

Quran 070.010 “And no friend will ask a friend, Quran 070.011 though they will be made to see one another, (there will be none but see his father, children and relatives, but he will neither speak to them nor will ask them for any help) would desire to ransom himself from the Punishment of that Day by sacrificing his children as a ransom to save himself from the torment. Quran 070.012 He would sacrifice his wife and his brother, Quran 070.013 and his family who stood by and sheltered him, Quran 070.014 and all those who are on earth to save himself. Quran 070.015 But nay, by no means! It is the Fire of Hell! Quran 070.016 That would skin the scalp, eager to roast, plucking apart right to the skull! Quran 070.017 It will summon whoever turns his back and flees.”

756Quran 070.042 “So leave them to chat vainly and play about, with their idle disputes until they meet their Day threatened. Quran 070.043 The Day when they will rise from their graves as if rushing to a goal, Quran 070.044 eyes lowered in dejection and disgrace, fear and humility, in aghast, abasement, stupefying them. Such is the Day that they are threatened with!”

Quran 080.033 “But when comes the Deafening Blast, Quran 080.034 Day will flee a man from his brother, Quran 080.035 and his mother, and his father, Quran 080.036 and his wife, and his children. Quran 080.037 For every man among them that Day a matter occupying him (making him careless of others).

Quran 068.042 “On the Day when the calamity and severe affliction befalls, and they are called to prostrate themselves but are not able, their eyes cast down, disgrace overwhelming and stupefying them. They had been summoned to prostrate in homage while they were healthy and not yet hurt. Quran 068.044 Leave Me alone with those who deny and reject this announcement and message. Step by step, by degrees, We will lead them and punish them gradually from directions and in ways they cannot perceive.”

Quran 073.011 “Leave Me (alone to deal with) the rejecters, the possessors of ease and comfort. Give them respite for a while.

Bukhari:V8B76N547 “The Prophet said, ‘All of you will be questioned by Allah on the Day of Doom. There will be no interpreter between you and Allah. And the Hell Fire will confront you. So, whoever among you can, save yourself from the Fire.’”

Quran 021.098 “Certainly! You and that which you are worshipping besides al-Lahi, are the firewood for Hell! You, to it, 758will come.

And, therein, they will not hear.”

Quran 077.031 No cool shade and no availing against the flame of the blazing fire. Quran 077.032 Lo! It throws up sparks as a fortress, Quran 077.033 As if they were yellow camels.”

Quran 078.021 “Verily, Hell is lying in wait to ambush, Quran 078.022 for the rebels an abode. Quran 078.023 (They will) remain therein (for) eons. Quran 078.024 Therein, they will not sleep, taste coolness, nor have any drink Quran 078.025 except scalding water and purulence – the rotten discharge from open wounds, Quran 078.026 a fitting and appropriate reward.”

Quran 084.010 “But as for (him) who is given his record behind his back, Quran 084.011 then soon he will cry, praying for (his) destruction and death, Quran 084.012 for he will enter and burn (in) the scorching Blaze and taste its burning.”

Quran 085.001-8 “I swear by the mansions of the stars and the Zodiacal Signs. Cursed are the men of the trench, ditch, and pit. Full of fire fed by faggots. When they sat by it.

Quran 040.047 Then they will dispute, arguing noisily with each other while they wrangle in the Fire! The weak ones will say to those who had been arrogant, ‘Lo, we were for you followers, so can you avert from us some share of the Fire?’ Quran 040.048 The arrogant will say, ‘Verily, we (are) all in it! Truly, al-Laha | the to-Her has judged between slaves!’ Quran 040.049 Those in the Fire will say to the guards and keepers of Hell, ‘Pray to your Lord to lighten for us the torment for a day!’ Quran 040.050 Then they will say, ‘Did there not come to you your Messengers with clear proofs and signs?’ They will say, ‘Yes.’ Then say, ‘Pray not! The prayer of the disbelievers is futile!’”

Jews

Quran 004.044 “Did not you see toward those who were given a portion of the Book purchasing the error and wishing that you stray the way? Quran 004.045 And al-Lahu knows better about your enemies. Quran 004.046 Of those who acting like Jews, they distort the words from their place and they say, ‘We hear and we disobey.’ And hear not to be heard and raina [?] twisting their tongues and defaming in the religion. And if that they said, ‘We hear and we obey. And hear and look us,’ lo, it would have been better for them and more suitable, and but al-Lahu cursed them for their disbelief so not they believe except a few. Quran 004.047 O you who had been given the Book, believe in what We revealed confirming what is with you from before that We obliterate your faces and turning them inside out and backwards and We curse them as We cursed companions of the Sabbath. And is command of al-Lahi executed.”

Quran 004.160 “Then for wrongdoing of those who hadu | were acting like Jews, We made unlawful for them good things which had been lawful for them and for their hindering from way al-Lahi many. Quran 004.161 And for their taking al-riba | the increase (usury) while lo, they were forbidden from it and for their consuming wealth the people wrongfully. And We have prepared for the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.”

Quran 005.059 “Say, ‘O people of the Book! Do you resent and criticize us for no other reason than because we believe in il-Lahi, and the revelation that has come to us? And in which has been revealed before, and that most of you are defiantly disobedient?’ Say: ‘Shall I point out to you something much worse than this by 761the treatment it received from Allah? Those who incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath, those of whom He transformed into apes and swine.”

Ishaq:240 “The Jews are a treacherous, lying, and evil people.”

Quran 033.026 “He brought down those who backed them among the people of the writing from their strongholds, and cast terror into their hearts, so that a group (of them) you killed, and a group (of them) you enslaved as captives. Quran 033.027 And He caused you to inherit their land and their houses and their wealth, and land you had not trodden. Al-Lahu is on every thing powerful.”

Ishaq:250 “Allah raised the mountain above the Jews so that they might receive what was brought to them; and the bestial transformation occurred when Allah turned Jews into apes.”

Quran 059.014 “Not will they [Jews] fight you all except in fortified towns or form behind walls. Their violence among themselves (is) severe. You think they are united, but their hearts divided. That is because they a people without reason.”

Ishaq:254 & Quran 002.096 “We will not remove a Jew from the punishment. The Jew knows the shameful thing that awaits him in the next life because he has wasted the knowledge he has.”

Quran 004.055 “Sufficient for the Jew is the Flaming Fire!”

Ishaq:264 “Rifa’a, a notable Jew, spoke to the Apostle, twisting his tongue: ‘Give us your attention, Muhammad, so that we can make you understand.’ Then he attacked Islam and reviled it. So Allah sent down, ‘Allah knows about your enemies. Some of the Jews change words from their contexts and say: “We hear and disobey,” twisting their tongues and attacking the religion. But Allah cursed them.’” (Quran 002.059 & Quran 004.047)

Tabari VIII:121 “Ali struck the Jew with a swift blow that split his helmet, neck protector, and head, landing in his rear teeth. Then when the Muslims entered the city, Muhammad conquered Qamus, the neighborhood of Abi Huqayq. Safiyah bt. Huyayy was 762brought to him, and another woman with her. Bilal led them past some of the Jews we had slain including the woman’s dead husband. When she saw them, the woman with Safiyah cried out, slapped her face, and poured dust on her head. When Allah’s Prophet saw her, he said, ‘Take this she-devil away from me!’”

Bukhari:V4B53N380 “Umar expelled all the Jews and Christians from Arabia. Allah’s Apostle after conquering Khaybar thought of expelling the Jews from the land which, after he conquered it, belonged to Allah, Allah’s Apostle and the Muslims. But the Jews requested Allah’s Apostle to leave them there on the condition that they would do the labor and get half of the fruits (the land would yield). Allah’s Apostle said, ‘We shall keep you on these terms as long as we wish.’ Thus they stayed till the time of Umar’s Caliphate when he expelled them.”

Ishaq:524 “We cannot accept the oaths of Jews. Their infidelity is so great they swear falsely.”

Ishaq:245 “The Apostle used to say, ‘He belongs to the people of Hell.’ Yet he had fought valiantly and killed many polytheists. So when he became severely wounded Muslims said, ‘Cheer up, you have done gallantly and your sufferings have been for Allah’s sake.’ ‘Why should I cheer up? I fought to protect my people.’ When the pain of his wounds became unbearable he took an arrow from his quiver, slit his wrist and committed suicide. He was suspected of hypocrisy and love of Jews. This poem was written of him: ‘Who will tell him that by cutting his vein he won’t be glorified in Islam? Do you love Jews and their religion, you liver-hearted ass, and not Muhammad? Their religion will never march with ours.’”

Tabari VII:158 “The Messenger of Allah besieged the Nadir Jews for fifteen days. In the end they made peace with him on the 763condition that the Prophet would not shed their blood and that their property and possessions would be his.”

Quran 005.013 “So for their breaking (of) their covenant We cursed them and We made their hearts hard. They change and distort the words from their places [the illiterate prophet pronounced who had plagiarized them] and forget a part of what they were reminded of it. And you will continually discover treachery from them, with the exception of a few of them.”

Quran 005.041 “Or it be among the Jews, men who will listen to any lie. They change the context of the words from their (right) times and places. They say, ‘If you are given this, take it, but if not, beware!’ If anyone’s temptation is intended by Allah’s desires, you have no authority in the least for him against Allah. For such it is not Allah’s will to purify their hearts. For them there is disgrace in this world, and in the Hereafter a heavy punishment.”

Quran 005.042 “They are fond of listening to falsehood, of devouring anything forbidden; they are greedy for illicit gain!”

Quran 005.044 “It was We who revealed the Torah (to Moses). By its standard the prophets judged the Jews, and the prophets bowed (in Islam) to Allah’s will, surrendering. For the rabbis and priests: to them was entrusted the protection of Allah’s Scripture Book, and they were witnesses of it. Therefore fear not men, but fear Me, and sell not My revelations for a miserable price.”

Quran 005.064 “The Jews say: ‘Allah’s hands are fettered.’ [i.e., Allah is powerless.] Be their hands tied up and be they accursed for the blasphemy they utter. Nay, both His hands are widely outstretched, giving [Muslims Jewish booty] as He pleases. Amongst them we have placed enmity and hatred till the Day of Doom. Every time they kindle the fire of war, Allah does extinguish it. But they strive to do mischief on earth.”

Quran 098.001 “Not were those from (the) People of the Book who disbelieve and al-Mushrikun | those who work together, are friendly, and share be abandoned (from their false religion) until there came to them the proofs. Quran 098.002 A Messenger from al-Lahi reciting purified pages, Quran 098.003 Wherein (are) correct writings. Quran 098.004 And not became divided those who were given the Book from after what came (to) them clear proof. Quran 098.005 And not they were commanded except only to worship al-764Laha sincere lahu | to Him (in) the dina | religion, right to establish al-Salata | the devotional obligations and prayer, and to give Zakat (religious tax). And that (is the) right dinu | religion. Quran 098.006 Surely those who disbelieve from (the) People (of) the Book and al-Mushrikun | those who are friendly and share will abide in the Fire of Hell eternally therein. They (are the) worst (of) beasts.”

Quran 005.077-78 “Say, People of the writing, do not overstep the bounds in your religion, or follow the people who erred in their vain desires and led many astray from the way. Cursed are the unbelievers of the Children of Israel…because they disobeyed.”

Quran 005.0082 “You will surely find that, of all people, the most hostile to those who believe are the Jews.”

Quran 002.059 “Rifa’a, a notable Jew, spoke to the Apostle, twisting his tongue: ‘Give us your attention, Muhammad, so that we can make you understand.’ Then he attacked Islam and reviled it. So Allah sent down, ‘Allah knows about your enemies. Some of the Jews change words from their contexts and say: “We hear and disobey,” twisting their tongues and attacking the religion. But Allah cursed them.’”

Bukhari:V4B56N679 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Plague is a means of torture sent on the Israelis.’”

Bukhari:V2B23N457 “The Prophet went out after sunset and heard a dreadful voice. He said, ‘The Jews are being punished in their graves.’”

Quran 017.007 “So when the last promise came, to sadden your faces and to enter the mosque (of Jerusalem) as they had entered it the first time, and to destroy what they had conquered with utter destruction.”

Bukhari:V1B4N147 “People say, ‘Whenever you sit for answering the call of nature, you should not face the Qiblah of Jerusalem.’ I told them. ‘Once I went up the roof of our house and I saw Allah’s Apostle answering the call of nature while sitting on two bricks facing Jerusalem.”

765Ishaq:239 “About this time Jewish rabbis showed hostility to the Apostle in envy, hatred, and malice, because Allah had chosen His Apostle from the Arabs. The Jews considered the Prophet a liar and strove against Islam. The Aus and Khazraj joined the Jews by obstinately clinging to their heathen religion. They were hypocrites. When Islam appeared and their people flocked to it, they were compelled to pretend to accept it to save their lives.”

Ishaq:239 “Jewish rabbis showed hostility to the Apostle in envy, hatred, and malice, because Allah had chosen His Apostle from the Arabs. The Jews considered the Prophet a liar and strove against Islam.”

Ishaq:240 “Labid bewitched Allah’s Apostle so that he could not come at his wives [apparently the non-prophet became as impotent as his god]. Jewish rabbis opposed the apostle, asking questions to stir up trouble against Islam trying to extinguish it.”

Ishaq:240 “I concealed the matter from the Jews and then went to the Apostle and said, ‘The Jews are a nation of liars and I want you to give me a house and hide me from them.”

Ishaq:240 “‘If they learn I’ve become a Muslim, they’ll utter slanderous lies against me.’ So the prophet gave me a house, and when the Jews came, I emerged and said, ‘O Jews, fear Allah and accept what He has sent you. For you know that he is the Apostle of Allah. You will find him described in your Torah and even named.’ They accused me of lying and reviled me. I told Muhammad, ‘The Jews are a treacherous, lying, and evil people.’”

Ishaq:241 “Mukhayriq was a learned rabbi owning much property in date palms. He recognized the Apostle by his description and felt a predilection for his religion. He violated the Sabbath to fight on behalf of Islam and was killed in battle. I am told the Prophet used to say, ‘Mukhayriq is the best of the Jews [a dead one].’ The Apostle took his property.”

Ishaq:242 “Julas the Jew used to say, ‘If Muhammad is right we are worse than donkeys.’ Allah sent down concerning him: ‘They swear that they did not say it, when they did say the words of unbelief.... Allah will afflict them with a painful punishment in this world and in the next.’” (Quran 009.075) Ishaq:242 “The Apostle ordered Umar to kill him, but he escaped to Mecca.”

766Ishaq:246 “The surah of the Hypocrites came down because some men sent secret messages to the Nadir Jews when the Apostle besieged them. So Allah sent down, ‘Have you not considered the Hypocrites who say to their brethren, the People of the Book, “We shall never obey anyone against you. If you are attacked [by the Muslims] and driven out we will help you.” Allah bears witness that they are liars. Like Satan when he says to men, “Disbelieve.’”

Quran 059.002 “He, the one, who expelled, driving out the disbeliever from the People of al-Kitabi | the Writing (the Jews of the tribe of Bani An-Nadir) from their homes at the first gathering. You did not think that they would leave. And they thought that they, their fortresses, would defend them against al-Lahi! But came to them from al-Lahu from where they expected it not. And He cast al-ru’ba | the terror into their hearts. They destroyed their houses with their hands and the hands of the believers. Then take warning, O you with eyes (to see).”

Ishaq:251 “Moses commanded them to prostrate themselves and his Lord spoke to him and they heard His voice giving them commands and prohibitions so that they understood what they heard. But when Moses went back to the Jews a party of them changed the Commandments they were given.” (Quran 002.075)

Ishaq:252 “Have you no understanding? Why do you maintain that he is not a prophet since you know that Allah has made a Covenant with you that you should follow him? While he tells you that he is the prophet whom you are expecting, and that you will find him in Our book, you oppose him and do not recognize him. You reject his prophethood on mere opinion.” (Quran 002.077)

Ishaq:253 “When we made a covenant with you, saying ‘Shed not your blood and do not turn people out of their dwellings,’ you ratified it. Yet you take prisoners and ransom them and expel people although it is forbidden in your religion.... Allah cursed them for their unbelief. When a scripture comes to them from Allah confirming what they already have, they deny it. Allah’s curse is on them.” (Quran 002.082)

Ishaq:254 “In the pagan era the Jews were scripture folk and we were pagans. They used to say, ‘Soon a prophet will be sent whom we shall follow.’ When Allah sent his Apostle from the Quraysh and we followed him they denied him. Allah revealed, 767‘When there comes one they recognize, they deny him. They are wretched, so Allah cursed them. He will give them a shameful punishment.’ The double anger is His wrath because they have disregarded the Torah and because they disbelieve in the Prophet whom he sent to them.” (Quran 002.089)

Ishaq:254 “Long for death [Jews], if you are truthful. Pray that God will kill whichever one of us is the most false. The Jews refused the Prophet’s dare.” “Allah said to His Prophet, ‘They will never accept your dare because of their past deeds. But they recognize you from the knowledge they have. Yet they deny. Had they accepted your dare, not a single Jew would have remained alive on earth.” (Quran 002.094)

Ishaq:254 “We will not remove a Jew from the punishment. The Jew knows the shameful thing that awaits him in the next life because he has wasted the knowledge he has.” (Quran 002.096)

Ishaq:255 “Jewish rabbis came to the Apostle and asked him to answer four questions saying, ‘If you do so we will follow you, testify to your truth, and believe in you.’ They began, ‘Why does a boy resemble his mother when the semen comes from the father?’ Muhammad replied, ‘Do you not know that a man’s semen is white and thick and a woman’s is yellow and thin? The likeness goes with that which comes to the top.’ ‘Agreed,’ the rabbis proclaimed.”

Ishaq:255 “So Allah sent down concerning them: ‘When the Apostle comes to them from Allah confirming that which they have received in scripture, they put it behind their backs as if they did not know it. They follow that which Satan read concerning the kingdom of Solomon – sorcery.’ One of the rabbis said, ‘Don’t you wonder at Muhammad? He alleges that Solomon was a prophet, and yet he was nothing but a sorcerer.’ So Allah sent down, ‘Solomon did not disbelieve but Satan did, practicing sorcery.’” (Quran 002.101)

Ishaq:256 “The [illiterate] Apostle wrote a letter to the Jews of Khaybar [before he annihilated them]. In the name of Allah, Ar-Rahman, Ar-Rahim from Muhammad the Apostle of Allah, friend and brother of Moses who confirms what Moses brought. Allah says to you, ‘O Scripture folk, and you will find it in your scripture “Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah. Those with him are severe against the unbelievers. You see them bowing, falling prostrate, seeking bounty, and acceptance. The mark of their prostrations is 768on their foreheads.” That is their likeness in the Torah and in the Gospels.’”

Ishaq:256 “The Jews used to ask Muhammad questions which annoyed and confused him.” Ishaq:257 “Your situation seems obscure to us, Muhammad.”

Ishaq:257 “The Jews told Allah’s Messenger, ‘Bring us a book. Bring us something down from heaven that we might read it.’”

Ishaq:262 “Some Muslims remained friends with Jews, so Allah sent down a Quran forbidding them to take Jews as friends. From their mouths hatred has already shown itself and what they conceal is worse.” “You believe in their Book [though you don’t have a clue what it says] while they deny your book, so you have more right to hate them than they have to hate you.”

Ishaq:263 “Abu Bakr went into a Jewish school [there was never any mention of him going into a Muslim school] and found many pupils gathered around Finhas, a learned rabbi. Bakr told the Jews to fear Allah and submit. He told them that they would find that Muhammad was an Apostle written in the Torah and Gospels. Finhas replied, ‘We are rich compared to Allah. We do not humble ourselves to Allah. He humbles himself to us. We are independent of him, while he needs us. Why does your god ask us to lend him money as your master pretends.’ Bakr was enraged and hit Finhas hard in the face. Were it not for the treaty between us I would cut off your head, you enemy of Allah. So Allah said, ‘They will taste 769Our punishment of burning.’” (Quran 002.007, 011, 024, 027, 039, 081, 085-90, 096, 104, 114, 119, 126, 162, 165, 174, 196, 201, 206, 211, 217, 257, & 275)

Ishaq:264 “Allah revealed concerning Finhas and the other rabbis: ‘Allah issued orders to those who had received the Book: ‘You are to make it clear to men and not conceal it, yet they cast the Torah behind their backs and sold it for a small price. Wretched was their exchange. They will receive a painful punishment.’”

Ishaq:264 “The Torah confirms what Muhammad brought. Rifa’a, a notable Jew, spoke to the Apostle, twisting his tongue: ‘Give us your attention, Muhammad, so that we can make you understand.’ Then he attacked Islam and reviled it. So Allah sent down, ‘Allah knows about your enemies. Some of the Jews change words from their contexts and say: “We hear and disobey,” twisting their tongues and attacking the religion. But Allah cursed them.’” (Quran 002.059 & Quran 004.047)

Ishaq:264 “The Jewish rabbis knew that Muhammad had brought them the truth, but they denied that they knew it. They were obstinate. So Allah revealed, ‘People of the Book, believe in what we have sent down in confirmation of what you had been given before or We will efface your features and turn your face into your ass, cursing you.’”

Ishaq:269 “‘Tell us when the Day of Doom will be, Muhammad, if you are a prophet as you say.’ So Allah sent down, ‘They will ask you about the hour when it will come to pass. Say, only my Lord knows of it. None but He will reveal it at its proper time. Say, ‘Only Allah knows about it but most men know not.’ How can we follow you, Muhammad, when you have abandoned our Qiblah? You do not say that Uzayr is the son of God.’ So Allah revealed, ‘Jews say that Uzayr is the son of God and Christians say the Messiah is the son of God. That is what they say with their mouths, copying the speech of those who disbelieved in earlier times. Allah fight them! How perverse are they?’”

Ishaq:269 “‘For our part we don’t see how your Quran recitals are arranged anything like our Torah is.’ [So, Muhammad who couldn’t read said,] ‘you know quite well that the Quran is from Allah. You will find it written in the Torah which you have.’”

770Ishaq:269 “‘If men and jinn came together to produce its like they could not.’ Finhas said, ‘Did men or jinn tell you this, Muhammad?’”

Ishaq:269 “‘You know full well the Quran is from Allah and that I am the Apostle of Allah. You will find it written in the Torah you have.’ The rabbi replied, ‘When God sends a prophet, He provides for him, so bring us a book that is divinely inspired that we may read it and determine if you are telling the truth. We can produce our Book.’”

Ishaq:269 “So Allah revealed, concerning their words, ‘Say, “Though men and jinn should meet to produce this Quran, they would not produce its like, even working together.”’”

Quran 002.040 “O Children of Israel, remember My favor which I bestowed on you and fulfill My bargain. I will fulfill your Covenant, so fear Me, and Me alone. Quran 002.041 And believe in what I have revealed, confirming that which is with you. Be not the first to deny and disbelieve of it. And do not exchange My verses for a token price. Me alone, fear!”

Quran 002.043 “[Jews] Perform al-Salata | the prostration prayer; pay the zakat | tax; bow down prostrate with those performing ar-Raki’un | the obedient ritualistic bowers. Quran 002.044 You command the people the righteousness and you forget yourselves while you recite the writing. Then will not you be reasonable? Quran 002.045 And seek patiently ang the prostration performance. Verily, it surely hard, except for those who obey in humble submission.”

Quran 002.061 “And when you said, ‘O Musa, never we endure on one food so pray for us your Rabbi to bring forth for us out of what grows the earth of its herbs, its cucumbers, its garlic, its lentils, and its onions.’ He said, ‘Would you exchange that which it inferior for that which it better. Go down a city so, lo, for you what you have asked. And were struck upon them (Jews) the humiliation and the misery and they drew on themselves wrath of al-Lahi. That because they used to disbelieve in ayati | Proofs, Signs and Verses of al-Lahi and kill the prophets. That the right without because they disobeyed and they were transgressing.’ Quran 002.064 Then you (Jews) turned away from after that. So if not grace of al-Lahi upon you and His Mercy, lo, you would have been of the losers. Quran 771002.065 And lo, you knew those who transgressed among you in the Sabbath. So we said to them, ‘Be apes despised.’ Quran 002.066 So We made this a deterrent punishment as an example for those front them and those after them and a warning for those who fear.”

Quran 002.079 “So woe to those (Jews) who write (faking) the Scripture Book with their hands. Then they say, ‘This from al-Lahi,’ to barter with it for a small price and some profit. So, woe to them for what their hands have written. And woe to them for what they earn. Quran 002.080 “They (Jews) say: ‘Never will touch us the Fire except days numbered.’ Say, ‘Have you taken from al-Lahi an ahdan | pledge or covenant? So, never will break al-Lahu His promise.’ Or you say against al-Lahi what not you know?

Quran 002.085 Then you those kill yourselves and evict a party of you from their homes. You support one another against them in sin and the transgression. And if they come to you captive, you ransom them while it forbidden to you their eviction. So do you believe in part the Book and disbelieve in part? Then what recompense who does that among you except disgrace in the life of the world and Resurrection Day they will be sent back to most severe punishment. And not al-Lahu unaware of what you do. Quran 002.086 Those the ones who bought the life the world for the hereafter so not will be lightened for them the punishment and not they will be helped.”

Quran 002.089 “And when came to them (the Jews) a Book of from al-Lahi confirming what with them, though they used to from before, pray for victory over those who disbelieved then wen came to them what they recognized they disbelieved in it. So curse of al-Lahi on al-kafir | the disbelievers.”

Quran 002.101 “And when there came a Messenger from Allah confirming that which was with them, the Books they had already received, a party of them who were given the Scripture threw away the Book of Allah, tossing it behind their backs, as if they did not know!”

Quran 002.109 “Wished quite a number from People of the Book if they could turn you back from your faith disbelievers jealously from of themselves, from after what the truth became clear to them. So overlook until al-Lahu brings His command, issuing His orders. Lo, al-Laha on every thing powerful.”

772Tabari VII:26 “When the Prophet came to Yathrib he saw the Jews fasting on Ashura day. He questioned them, and they told him that it was the day upon which God drowned Pharaoh and saved Moses from the Egyptians. He said, ‘We have a better right to Moses than you do.’ He fasted and ordered his fellow Muslims to fast with him. When the fast of Ramadhan was prescribed, he made Ashura optional.”

Ishaq:232 “The Jews shall contribute to the cost of war so long as they are fighting alongside the believers. The Jews have their religion, the Muslims have theirs. None of them shall go out to war unless they have Muhammad’s permission. The Jews must pay, however, for as long as the war lasts. If any dispute or controversy should arise it must be referred to Allah and Muhammad, His Apostle. If the Jews are called to make peace they must, except in the case of Holy War. Allah approves of this document. Fear Allah, and Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.”

Tabari VII:85 “What happened to the Banu Qaynuqa [the most prosperous Jewish community in Yathrib] was that Muhammad assembled them in their Marketplace and said, ‘Jews, beware lest Allah brings on you the kind of vengeance which He brought on the Quraysh. Accept Islam [submission] and become Muslims [surrender]. You know that I am a Prophet. You will find me in your Scriptures and in Allah’s Covenant with you.’”

Ishaq:363 “The Jews of the Banu Qaynuqa replied, ‘Muhammad, do you think that we are like your people? Do not be deluded by the fact that you met a people with no knowledge and you made good use of your opportunity.’”

Tabari VII:85 “The Banu Qaynuqa were the first Jews to infringe the agreement between them and the Messenger. The campaign of the Prophet against the Banu Qaynuqa was in Shawwal (March 624) in the second year of the Hijrah.”

Tabari VII:86 “Gabriel brought down the following verse to the Messenger: ‘If you apprehend treachery from any people (with 773whom you have a treaty), retaliate by breaking off (relations) with them.’ (Quran 008.058) When Gabriel had finished delivering this verse, the Prophet said, ‘I fear the Banu Qaynuqa.’ It was on the basis of this verse that Muhammad advanced upon them.”

Ishaq:363 “Allah’s Apostle besieged the Banu Qaynuqa until they surrendered at his discretion unconditionally.”

Tabari VII:86 “Abd Allah rose up when Allah had put them in his power, and said, ‘Muhammad, treat my ally well, for the Qaynuqa are a confederate of the Khazraj.’ The Prophet ignored him, so Abd Allah repeated his request.”

Ishaq:363 “The Prophet turned away from him so Abd Allah put his hand on the collar of the Messenger’s robe. Muhammad said, ‘Let go of me!’ He was so angry his face turned black. Then he said, ‘Damn you, let me go!’ Abd Allah replied, ‘No, by God, I will not let you go until you treat my ally humanely. There are seven hundred men among them, some with mail, who defended me from my foes when I needed their help. And now, you would mow them down in a single morning? By God I do not feel safe around here any more. I am afraid of what the future may have in store.’ So the Messenger said, ‘You can have them.’”

Tabari VII:87 “The Prophet said, ‘Let them go; may Allah curse them, and may he curse Abd Allah with them.’ So the Muslims let them go. Then Muhammad [went back on his word and] gave orders to expel the Jews. Allah gave their property as booty to his Messenger. The Qaynuqa did not have any farmland, as they were goldsmiths. The Prophet took many weapons belonging to them and the tools of their trade. The person who took charge of their expulsion from Yathrib along with their children was Ubadah. He accompanied them as far as Dhubab, saying: ‘The farther you go the better.’”

Bukhari:V5B59N362 “He exiled all the Qaynuqa Jews from Medina.”

Ishaq:364 “Muslims, take not Jews and Christians as friends. Whoever protects them becomes one of them, they become diseased, and will earn a similar fate.”

Ishaq:364 “I fear this change of circumstance may end up overtaking us.’ So Allah replied, ‘He will be sorry for his thoughts. 774True believers perform prostrations, they pay the tax, they bow in homage, and renounce their agreements with the Jews. They are Hezbollah – Allah’s Party.’”

Tabari VII:94 “The Murder of Ka’b bin Ashraf, the Evil Genius of the Jews: The Prophet sent messengers to the people of Medina announcing the good news of the victory granted to him by Allah at Badr. They listed the names of the polytheists they had killed.” Ishaq:365 “Ka’b bin Ashraf was from the Jewish clan of Nadir. When he heard the news, he said, ‘Can this be true? Did Muhammad actually kill these people? These were fine men. If Muhammad has slain them, then the belly of the earth is a better place for us than its surface!’”

Ishaq:365 “When the enemy of Allah became convinced the report was true, he set out for Mecca. He began to arouse people against Muhammad. He recited verses in sympathy for the Quraysh men Muhammad had cast into the pit. Ka’b Ashraf composed the following poetic lines: ‘The blood spilled at Badr calls to its people. They cry and weep. The best men were slain and thrown into a pit.’ Drive off that fool of yours so that you might be safe from talk that makes no sense. Why do you taunt those who mourn over their dead? They lived good lives, and as such we must remember them. But now you have become like jackals.”

Tabari VII:94 “The Prophet said, ‘Who will rid me of Ashraf?’ Muhammad bin Maslamah, said, ‘I will rid you of him, Messenger of Allah. I will kill him.’ ‘Do it then,’ he said, ‘if you can.’”

Bukhari:V4B52N270 “The Prophet said, ‘Who is ready to kill Ka’b bin Ashraf who has really hurt Allah and His Apostle?’ Muhammad bin Maslama said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Do you want me to kill him?’ He replied in the affirmative.”

Ishaq:365 & Tabari VII:94 “Muhammad bin Maslamah said, ‘Messenger, we will have to tell lies.’ ‘Say what you like,’ Muhammad said. ‘You are absolved, free to say what you must.’”

Tabari VII:94 & Ishaq:367 “Maslamah made a plan to kill Ka’b, the enemy of Allah. Before they went to him, they sent Abu ahead. When he arrived, they spoke together for a while. They recited verses, for Abu was something of a poet. Then Abu said, ‘Ka’b, I have come to you about a matter which I want you to keep secret.’ ‘Go ahead,’ he replied. ‘The arrival of Muhammad has 775been an affliction for us.’ Abu said, ‘Most Arabs are now hostile to us. We cannot travel along the roads, and the result is that our families are facing ruin. We are all suffering.’ Ka’b replied, ‘I warned you, Abu, that things would turn out like this.’ Abu said, ‘I would like you to sell us some food. We will give you some collateral and make a firm contract. Please treat us generously.’”

Tabari VII:95 “Abu said, ‘I have some companions with me who think the same way I do. I would like to bring them to you so that you can do business with them as well. We will deposit sufficient weapons with you to guarantee the payment of our debt.’ Abu wanted to fool the Jew so that he would not be suspicious about the weapons when they came bearing them. Ka’b replied, ‘Your weapons will be a satisfactory guarantee.’ Abu went back to his companions, informed them of what had happened. He told them to grab their swords and join him. Before leaving, they went to the house of the Messenger. Muhammad walked with them as far as Baqi al-Gharqad. Then he sent them off, saying, ‘Go in Allah’s name; O Allah, help them [assassinate the moral and courageous Jew]!’ Then the Prophet went back home. It was a moonlit night, and they went forward until they reached Ka’b’s house.”

Ishaq:368 “Then Abu called out to him. He had recently married, and he leapt up in his bed. His wife took hold of the sheets, and said to the strange voice, ‘You are a fighting man; as only a man of war leaves his house at an hour like this.” Bukhari:V5B59N369 “His wife asked him, ‘Where are you going?’ Ka’b replied, ‘Out with Muhammad bin Maslamah and my brother Abu.’ His wife said, ‘I hear evil in his voice as if his words are dripping blood.’ Ka’b said. ‘They are my brother and my foster brother. A generous man should respond to a call at night even if invited to be killed.’”

Muslim:B19N4436 “Muhammad said to his companions: ‘As he comes down, I will extend my hands towards his head, I will touch his hair and smell it. When you see that I have got hold of his head, strip him. When I hold him fast, you do your job.’ Ka’b bin Ashraf came down wrapped in his clothes.” Bukhari:V5B59N369 “Muhammad said. ‘I have never smelt a better perfume than this,’ so that Ka’b would relax his guard. ‘Will you allow me to smell your head?’ Then Abu thrust his hand into the hair near his temple. When Muhammad got a strong hold of him, he said, ‘Strike the enemy of Allah!’ So they smote him.”

776Ishaq:368 “Their swords rained blows upon him, but to no avail. Muhammad bin Maslamah said, ‘When I saw that they were ineffective, I remembered a long, thin dagger which I had in my scabbard. I took hold of it. By this time the enemy of Allah had shouted so loudly lamps had been lit in the homes around us. I plunged the dagger into his breast and pressed upon it so heavily that it reached his pubic region. Allah’s enemy fell to the ground.’”

Tabari VII:97 & Ishaq:368 “We carried Ka’b’s head and brought it to Muhammad during the night. We saluted him as he stood praying and told him that we had slain Allah’s enemy. When he came out to us we cast Ashraf’s head before his feet. The Prophet praised Allah that the poet had been assassinated and complimented us on the good work we had done in Allah’s Cause. Then he spat upon our comrade’s wounds [in occult fashion] and we returned to our families. Our attack upon Allah’s enemy cast terror among the Jews, and there was no Jew in Medina who did not fear for his life.’”

Ishaq:368 “Ka’b’s body was left prostrate. After his fall, all the Nadir Jews were brought low. Sword in hand we cut him down. By Muhammad’s order we were sent secretly by night. Brother killing brother. We lured him to his death with guile. Traveling by night, bold as lions, we went into his home. We made him taste death with our deadly swords. We sought victory for the religion of the Prophet.”

Tabari VII:97 “The next morning, the Jews were in a state of fear on account of our attack upon the enemy of Allah. After the assassination, the Prophet declared, ‘Kill every Jew.’”

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

Tabari VII:9 & Ishaq:369 “The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, ‘Kill every Jew.’”

Ishaq:369 “Thereupon Mas’ud leapt upon Sunayna, one of the Jewish merchants with whom his family had social and commercial relations and killed him. The Muslim’s brother complained, saying, ‘Why did you kill him? You have much fat in you belly from his charity.’ Mas’ud answered, ‘By Allah, had Muhammad ordered me to murder you, my brother, I would have cut off your head.’ 777Wherein the brother said, ‘Any religion that can bring you to this is indeed wonderful!’ And he accepted Islam.”

Quran 059.016 “Like example of al-Shaytani | the Adversary, Satan, when he says to a man, ‘Disbelieve.’ But when he disbelieves he says, ‘Lo, verily, I am disassociated from you. Lo, I fear al-Laha, Lord of the Worlds.’ Quran 059.017 So will be end of both of them that they in the Fire, abiding forever therein. And that recompense of al-zalimina | the cruel lords and oppressive tyrants.”

Quran 062.005 “The likeness of those who were entrusted with the Taurat | Torah. But then they bore it like the donkey carries books. Wretched it the example (of ) people who deny the ayat | signs (of) al-Lahi. And al-Lahu guides not the polytheist.”

Quran 062.006 “Say, ‘O you Hadu | being Jewish! If you pretend and claim that you are friends and allies of Lillahi, from excluding the mankind, then wish for death if you are truthful.’ But never will they long (for death), because of what their hands have done before them! Allah knows well the polytheists! Say: ‘The Death from which you flee will truly overtake you.’”

Quran 003.065 “O People of the Book, why you argue concerning Ib’rahima | Ibrahim while not was revealed al Tawratu | the Taurat and al-Injilu | the Injeel except from after him? Then why don’t you use you intellect? Ah! You are those who fell to disputing (even) in matters of which you had some knowledge! But why dispute in matters of which you have no knowledge? It is Allah Who knows, and you who know not!” Quran 003.067 “Not was ‘Ib’rahimu | Ibrahim a Yahudy | Jew, and not Nasraniy | a Nazarene, and but he was a true Mus’liman | Muslim and not he was from al-mush’rikina | the criminal polytheists.”

Quran 003.077 “Lo, verily, those who exchange bi’ahdi | pledge charged and sworn (covenant) by al-Lahi and their oaths for a small price, those no share for them in the after and not will speak to them al-Lahu and not look at them Day the Resurrection. And not purify them. And for them a painful punishment. There is among them a section who distort the Book with their tongues. (As they read) you would think it is from the Book, but it is not from the Book; and they say, ‘That is from God,’ but it is not from Allah: It is they who tell a lie against Allah, and (well) they know it!”

778Quran 003.084 “Say, ‘We believed in il-Lahi and what revealed on us and what was revealed on Ib’rahima and Is’ma’ila, and Is’haqa, and Ya’quba and the descendants and what was given Musa and ‘Isa and al-nabiyuna | the prophets from Rabbihim | their Lord. Not we make distinction between any of them and we lahu | to Him Mus’limuna | submissive muslims.’ Quran 003.085 And whoever seeks other than al-Islaami | the Islam religion, then never will be accepted from him and he in the after from the losers.”

Quran 003.087 “Those, their recompense that on them curse al-Lahi and the angels and the people all together. Quran 003.088 Abide forever in it. Not will be lightened for them the punishment and not they will find a reprieve or intermission.”

Tabari VII:156 & Ishaq:437 “In the fourth year of the Islamic Era the Prophet expelled the Banu Nadir [the second of the three Jewish communities which had populated Yathrib] from their homes. The cause of this was that Amr killed two men to whom had been given a promise of protection by the Apostle. Their chief wrote Muhammad asking him for blood-money. So the Prophet turned towards the Nadir [Jews] to seek their help in the payment of the blood money. With him were Bakr, Umar, and Ali.”

Tabari VII:158 “Call Muhammad bin Maslamah to me.’ When Muhammad came, he was told to go to the Jews and say, ‘Leave my country. You have intended treachery.’ He went and said, ‘The Messenger orders you to depart from his country.’ They replied, ‘We never thought that an Aws would come with such a message.’ ‘Hearts have changed,’ Muhammad said. ‘Islam has wiped out our old covenants.’”

Ishaq:437 “After telling his Companions about the treachery which the Jews had meditated against him, the Apostle ordered them to prepare for war and to march against them. Muhammad personally led his men against the Nadir and halted in their quarter. The Jews took refuge against him in their homes, so he ordered their date palms to be cut down and burnt. They shouted, ‘Muhammad, you have forbidden wonton destruction of property and have blamed those who did it. Why are you doing this?’”

Quran 059.005 “Whatever you cut down of palm trees or you let them standing on their roots, it by the permission of al-Lahi and that He may embarrass and humiliate the defiantly disobedient.”

779Ishaq:437 “So Allah cast terror into the hearts of the Jews. Then the Prophet said, ‘The Jews have declared war.’”

Tabari VII:159 “The Messenger of Allah besieged the Banu Nadir for fifteen days until he had reduced them to a state of utter exhaustion, so that they would give him what he wanted. The terms in which the Prophet made peace with the Jews were: he would not shed their blood, he would expel them from their lands and homes, providing for every three of them a camel and a water-skin.”

Ishaq:438 “The Jews loaded their camels with their wives, children, and property. There were tambourines, pipes and singing. They went to Khaybar with such splendor as had never been seen from any tribe.” Ishaq:438 “The Nadir left their property to Muhammad and it became his personal possession, to do with it as he wished. He divided it among the Emigrants, to the exclusion of the Ansar.”

Ishaq:438 “Allah wreaked His vengeance on the Jews and gave His Apostle power over them and control to deal with them as he wished. Allah said, ‘I turned out those who disbelieved of the Scripture People from their homes. You did not think that they would go but I came upon them and terrorized them. And in the next life I will torture them again with a painful punishment in Hell. The palm trees you cut down were by Allah’s permission; they were uprooted on My order. It was not destruction but it was vengeance from Allah to humble the evildoers. The spoil which Allah gave the Apostle from the Nadir belongs to him.”

Bukhari:V4B52N153 “The properties of Nadir which Allah had transferred to His Apostle as Booty were not gained by the Muslims with their horses and camels. The properties therefore, belonged especially to Allah’s Apostle who used to give his family their yearly expenditure and spend what remained thereof on arms and horses to be used in Allah’s Cause.”

Bukhari:V4B52N176 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘You Muslims will fight the Jews till some of them hide behind stones. The stones will betray them saying, “O Abdullah (slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.”’”

Bukhari:V4B52N177 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind 780which a Jew will be hiding will say. “O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.”’”

Ishaq:441 “A man who had neither shown treachery nor bad faith haply had a change of fortune and took revenge, cutting down their palm trees and killing the Nadir. A sharp sword in the hand of a brave man kills his adversary. The rabbis were disgraced for they denied mighty Lord Allah.” Ishaq:442 “Sword in hand we brought down the Nadir. By Muhammad’s order we beguiled them.”

Tabari VIII:7 “The Quraysh said: ‘Jews, you are the people of the first Scripture, and you have knowledge about the subject on which we and Muhammad have come to differ. Is our religion better or his?’ ‘Your religion is better,’ they said. ‘You are closer to the truth than he.’”

Ishaq:450 “They are the ones concerning whom Allah revealed: ‘Have you not seen those to whom a portion of the Scripture has been given? They believe in idols and false deities. They say, “These are more rightly guided than those who believe?”—until the words, “Hell is sufficient for their burning. They are jealous and Allah has cursed them.”’” (Quran 004.051)

Tabari VIII:15 “When the news reached Muhammad, he sent Sa’d, chief of the Aws to Ka’b. ‘If it is true, speak to me in words that we can understand but that will be unintelligible to others. So he went out and found them engaged in the worst of what had been reported. They slandered the Messenger and said, ‘There is no treaty between us.’ Sa’d reviled them, and they reviled him. Sa’d was a man with a sharp temper. He told the Jews, ‘Stop reviling him for the disagreement between us is too serious for taunts.’”

Ishaq:461 “Just before the noon prayers, Gabriel came to the Apostle wearing a gold turban. He was riding a mule. He said, ‘Have you laid down your weapons and stopped fighting, Muhammad?’ ‘Yes,’ he replied. Gabriel said, ‘The angels have not laid down their arms! I’ve just returned from pursuing the enemy. Allah commands you to march to the Qurayza. I, too, will attack the Jews and shake them out of their homes.’”

Bukhari:V5B59N443-8 “When the Prophet returned from the Trench, laid down his arms and took a bath, Gabriel came to him covered in dust. ‘Why have you laid down your sword? We angels have not set them down yet. It’s time to go out against them.’ The 781Prophet said, ‘Where to go?’ Gabriel said, ‘This way,’ pointing towards the Qurayza. So the Prophet went out to besiege them.”

Bukhari:V5B59N444 “The dust rose in the streets of Medina as Gabriel’s regiment marched through. The angels joined Allah’s Apostle in attacking the Qurayza Jews.”

Ishaq:461 & Tabari VIII:28 “The Messenger commanded a crier to announce that all should heed and obey. He ordered that none should perform the afternoon prayer until after they reached the Qurayza settlement. The Prophet sent Ali ahead with his war banner against the Jews, and the Muslims hastened to it. Ali advanced toward their homes and heard insulting language from the Jews about Allah’s Messenger. Ali ran back and told the Prophet that the Jews were rascals and that there was no need for him to go near those wicked men. ‘Why?’ Muhammad asked. ‘Have you heard them insult me?’ ‘Yes,’ Ali answered. ‘Had they seen me,’ Allah’s Apostle replied, ‘they would not have said anything of the sort.’”

Tabari VIII:29 “The Holy Prophet said, ‘No one should pray the afternoon prayer until they are in the territory of the Qurayza because warfare against the Jews is incumbent upon Muslims.’”

Ishaq:461 “The Muslims had been totally occupied with warlike preparations. They refused to pray until they had come upon the Jews in accordance with Muhammad’s order. Allah did not find fault with them in His Book, nor did the Messenger reprimand them for it.”

Tabari VIII:28 “When the Messenger approached the Jews, he said, ‘You brothers of apes! Allah shamed you and cursed you.’”

Bukhari:V5B59N449 “On the day of the Qurayza siege, Allah’s Apostle said to Hassan, ‘Abuse them with your poems, for Gabriel is with you.’”

Ishaq:461 “Muhammad besieged them for twenty-five nights. When the siege became too severe, Allah terrorized them. Then they were told to submit to the judgment of Allah’s Messenger.

After the siege exhausted and terrorized them, the Jews felt certain that the Apostle would not leave them until he had exterminated them. So they decided to talk to Ka’b Asad. He said, ‘People of the Jews, you see what has befallen you. I shall propose 782three alternatives. Take whichever one you please.’ He said, ‘Swear allegiance to this man and accept him; for, by Allah, it has become clear to you that he is a prophet sent from Allah. It is he that you used to find mentioned in your scripture book. Then you will be secure in your lives, your property, your children, and your wives.’”

Tabari VIII:30 “The Jews said, ‘We will never abandon the Torah or exchange it for the Quran.’ Asad said, ‘Since you reject this proposal of mine, then kill your children and your wives and go out to Muhammad and his Companions as men who brandish swords, leaving behind no impediments to worry you. If you die, you shall have left nothing behind; if you win you shall find other women and children.’ The Jews replied, ‘Why would we kill these poor ones? What would be the good of living after them?’”

Ishaq:462 “Then the Jews asked Muhammad, ‘Send us Abu Lubaba, one of the Aws,’ for they were allies, ‘so that we can ask his advice.’ The Prophet complied and the Jews grabbed hold of him. The women and children were crying, so he felt pity for them. They said, ‘Abu, do you think we should submit to Muhammad’s judgment?’ ‘Yes,’ Lubaba said. But he pointed with his hand to his throat, indicating that it would be slaughter. Lubaba later said, ‘As soon as my feet moved, I knew that I had betrayed Allah’s Apostle. Abu Lubaba rushed away and tied himself to a pillar in the mosque. He cried, ‘I will not leave this spot until Allah forgives me for what I’ve done. I betrayed His Apostle.’” Ishaq:462 & Tabari VIII:32 “I heard Allah’s Apostle laughing at daybreak; so I said, ‘Why are you laughing, Prophet? May Allah make you laugh heartily!’ He replied, ‘Lubaba has been forgiven.’” Ishaq:463 “Amr vanished into the night. It is not known to this day what happened to him. Some allege that he was bound with a rotten rope and cast away.”

Tabari VIII:33 “In the morning, the Jews submitted to the judgment of Allah’s Messenger. The Aws leapt up and said, ‘Muhammad, they are our allies. You know what you did the other day with the allies of the Khazraj! Before besieging the Qurayza, the Messenger had besieged the Qaynuqa, who were the confederates of the Khazraj. They had submitted to his judgment and were banished. Therefore, when the Aws spoke to him, the Messenger said, ‘People of the Aws, will you not be satisfied if one of your own men passes judgment on them?’ Yes,’ they proclaimed. So the Prophet said, ‘It shall be entrusted to Sa’d Mu’adh.’”

783Bukhari:V5B59N448 “Sa’d said, ‘O Allah! You know that there is nothing more beloved to me than to fight in Your Cause against those who disbelieve Your Apostle. O Allah! I think you have put to an end the fight between us and the infidels. But if there still remains any fight with the infidels, then keep me alive till I fight against them for Your sake.’”

Ishaq:463 “The Prophet had placed Sa’d in the tent of a Muslim woman in his mosque. She nursed his wound and earned merit for herself by serving Muslims. When Sa’d was struck by the arrow, Muhammad said, ‘Put him in Rufaydah’s tent, so that I can visit him from nearby.’ Then the Prophet appointed him judge over the Qurayza Jews. His tribesmen lifted him onto a donkey on which they had put a leather cushion, for he was a stout, corpulent man. En route to Muhammad, the Aws said, ‘Treat our client well for the Prophet has put you in charge of this matter. After many requests, Sa’d said, ‘The time has come for Sa’d, in the Cause of Allah, not to be influenced by anyone’s reproach.’ Some of the people who heard him, announced the impending death of the Qurayza before Sa’d Mu’adh reached them because of the words he had said.”

Ishaq:463 & Tabari VIII:34 “When Sa’d reached the Messenger of Allah and the Muslims, the Prophet said, ‘Arise and go to your master and help him dismount.’ Then Muhammad said, ‘Pass judgment on them.’ Sa’d replied, ‘I pass judgment that their men shall be killed, their women and children made captives, and their property divided.’ Allah’s Apostle proclaimed, ‘You have passed judgment on the Jews with the judgment of Allah and the judgment of His Messenger.’”

Bukhari:V5B59N362 “So the Prophet killed the Qurayza men. He distributed their women, children and property among the Muslims.”

Tabari VIII:39 “After the affair of the Qurayza ended, the wound of Sa’d broke open. Aisha reports: He passed judgment on the Jews and prayed saying, ‘O Allah, You know that there are no men whom I would rather fight and strive to kill than men who called Your Messenger a liar.’”

Ishaq:464 “The Jews were made to come down, and Allah’s Messenger imprisoned them. Then the Prophet went out into the marketplace of Medina (it is still its marketplace today), and he had 784trenches dug in it. He sent for the Jewish men and had them beheaded in those trenches. They were brought out to him in batches. They numbered 800 to 900 boys and men. As they were being taken in small groups to the Prophet, they said to one another, ‘What do you think will be done to us?’ Someone said, ‘Do you not understand. On each occasion do you not see that the summoner never stops? He does not discharge anyone. And that those who are taken away do not come back. By God, it is death!’ The affair continued until the Messenger of Allah had finished with them all.”

Tabari VIII:40 “The Messenger of God commanded that furrows should be dug in the ground for the Qurayza. Then he sat down. Ali and Zubayr began cutting off their heads in his presence.”

Tabari VIII:35 & Ishaq:464 “Huyayy was brought out. He was wearing a rose-colored suit of clothes that he had torn all over with fingertip-sized holes so that it would not be taken as booty. His hands were bound to his neck with a rope. When he looked at Muhammad he said, ‘I do not regret opposing you. Whoever forsakes God will be damned.’ He sat down and was beheaded.”

Ishaq:464 & Tabari VIII:36 “According to Aisha, one Jewish woman was killed. She was by my side, talking with me while Allah’s Messenger was killing her men in the marketplace.”

Tabari VIII:38 “The Messenger of Allah commanded that all Jewish men and boys should be beheaded. Then the Prophet divided the wealth, wives, and children of the Qurayza Jews among the Muslims.” Ishaq:465 “When their wrists were bound with cords, the Apostle was a sea of generosity to us.”

Ishaq:465 “Then the Apostle divided the property, wives, and children of the Qurayza among the Muslims. Allah’s Messenger took his fifth of the booty. He made known on that day the extra shares for horses and their riders, giving the horse two shares and the rider one. A Muslim without a horse got one share of the spoil. It was the first booty in which lots were cast.”

Tabari VIII:38 “According to this example (Sunnah), the procedure of the Messenger of Allah in the divisions of booty became a precedent which was followed in subsequent raids.”

785Tabari VIII:39 “Then the Messenger of Allah sent Sa’d bin Zayd with some of the Qurayza captives to Najd, and in exchange for them he purchased horses and arms.”

Ishaq:466 “The Apostle chose one of the Jewish women for himself. Her name was Rayhana. She remained with him until she died, in his power. The Apostle proposed to marry her and put the veil on her but she said, ‘Leave me under your power, for that will be easier. She showed a repugnance towards Islam.”

Ishaq:468 “Allah brought down the People of the Scripture Book. I forced the Qurayza from their homes and cast terror into their hearts. Some you slew, and some you took captive. You killed their men and enslaved their women and children. And I caused you to inherit their land, their dwellings, and their property. Allah can do all things.’”

Ishaq:479 “Slain in Allah’s religion, Sa’d inherits Paradise with the martyrs. His was a noble testimony. When he pronounced his verdict on the Qurayza, he did not judge on his own volition. His judgment and Allah’s were one. Sa’d is among those who sold his life for the Garden of Bliss.” Ishaq:469 “An Ansar recited this poem: ‘The throne of Allah shook for only one man: Sa’d the brave and bold, a glorious leader, a knight ever ready. Stepping into the battle, he cut heads to pieces.”

Ishaq:469 “On the day the Qurayza were slain, one Muslim was martyred. A stone was thrown on him and it inflicted a shattering wound. The Apostle said, ‘He will have the reward of two martyrs.’”

Ishaq:481 “The Apostle slew them in their own town. With our troops he surrounded their homes. We shouted out cries in the heat of battle. The Jews were given the Scripture and wasted it. Being blind, [the illiterate man said] they strayed from the Torah. You Jews disbelieved the Quran and yet you have tasted the confirmation of what it said. May Allah make our raid on them 786immortal. May fire burn in their quarter. They will no longer ruin our lands. You [Jews] have no place here, so be off!”

Ishaq:480 “The Qurayza met their misfortune [now there’s an understated word]. In humiliation they found no helper. A calamity worse than that which fell upon the Nadir befell them. On that day Allah’s Apostle came to them like a brilliant moon. We left them with blood upon them like a pool. They lay prostrate with the vultures circling round.”

Christians

Quran 005.017 “Certainly, disbelieved those who said, ‘Lo, al-Laha, he al-Masihu | the Messiah, son (of) Maryam.’ Say, ‘Then who has power against al-Lahi (in) anything if He intends to destroy al-Masiha | the Messiah, son (of) Maryam, and his mother, and whoever (is) in the earth?’”

Ishaq:180 “According to my information, the Apostle often sat by a young Christian slave named Jabr. The Meccans said, ‘He is the one who teaches Muhammad most of what he brings.’ Then Allah revealed, Quran 016.103 ‘We know what they (pagans) say: “It is only a mortal man who teaches him (Muhammad). But the tongue of the man they wickedly point to is notably foreign, while this (Quran) is pure Arabic.’”

787Ishaq:552 “The Quraysh had put pictures in the Ka’aba including two of Jesus and one of Mary. Muhammad ordered that the pictures should be erased.”

Quran 005.014 “From those who call themselves Christians, We made a covenant, but they forgot a good part of the message that was sent them: so we estranged them, stirred up enmity and hatred among them to the Day of Doom. Soon will Allah show them the handiwork they have done. Quran 005.015 People of the Book! There has come to you our Apostle, revealing to you much that you used to hide in your writing, suppressing and passing over much. There has come to you from Allah a fire and a clear Book.”

Quran 005.018 “The Jews and the Christians say: ‘We are sons of Allah, and his beloved.’ Say: ‘Why then does He punish you for your sins? Nay, you are but men. He forgives whom He wishes and punishes whom He pleases.’”

Quran 005.047 “Let the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein. If any fail to judge by what Allah has revealed, they are those who rebel.”

Quran 005.049 “And this: Judge between them by what Allah has revealed and follow not their [Christian] desires, but beware of them lest they beguile you, seducing you away from any of that which Allah hath sent down to you. And if they turn you away [from being Muslims], be assured that for their crime it is Allah’s purpose to smite them. Truly most men are rebellious.”

Quran 005.057 “Believers, take not for friends those who take your religion for a mockery or sport, a joke, whether among those who received the Scripture before you or among those who reject Faith; but fear Allah.”

Quran 005.068 “Say: ‘O People of the Book! You have no ground to stand upon unless you observe the Taurat [Torah], the Injeel [Gospel], and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord [Muhammad’s recitals].’ It is the revelation that comes to you from your Lord (Muhammad), is certain to increase their rebellion and blasphemy. But grieve you not over (these) unbelieving people.”

Quran 005.072 “They are surely infidels who say ‘Al-Laha, He (is) al-Masihu | the Messiah, ub’nu | son Maryam | Contentious.’ But 788said al-Masihu, ‘Yabani | O Children Is’raila | Israel, u’budo | worship al-Laha, my Rabbi and Rabbakum | your Lord.’” Quran 005.073 “Certainly, the disbelievers say, ‘Lo! Verily, al-Laha (is the) third (of) three.’ But no from ilahin | god illa | except Ilahun | God, One. And if they desist not from saying this, verily a grievous penalty and painful punishment will afflict and harass the kafar | disbelieving infidels. Quran 005.075 The Messiah, Christ, the son of Mary, was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had to eat their food. See how Allah does make His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded!”

Quran 004.157 “‘We killed the Messiah, Jesus,’ but they killed him not, nor crucified him. It appeared so to them (as the resemblance of Jesus was put over another man and they killed that man). Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself. Those who differ with this version are full of doubts. They have no knowledge and follow nothing but conjecture. For surely they killed him not.”

Quran 004.171 “O People the Book, not commit excess in your religion and not say about al-Lahi except the truth. Only al-Masihu Isa son Maryama, a Rasulu al-Lahi. And His word which He conveyed to Maryama and a spirit from Him. So believe in il-Lahi and His Rasuli and do not say, ‘Three.” Desist better for you. Only al-Lahu one God. Glory be to Him. That He have lahu | for Him a son. Lahu | to Him whatever in the heavens and whatever in the earth. And is sufficient il-Lahi a Disposer of Affairs. The Messiah is proud to be a slave of Allah, as are the angels, those nearest. Those who disdain His worship and are arrogant. He will gather them all together unto Himself… He will punish with a painful doom.”

Quran 004.159 “And not from People the writing but surely he believes in him (Jesus as only a messenger of Allah and a human being) before his (Jesus’) death. And on Day the Resurrection, he will be a witness against them.”

Quran 005.0082 “Thou wilt surely find that, of all people, the most hostile to those who believe (in this divine writ) are the Jews as well as those who are bent on ascribing divinity to aught beside God; and thou wilt surely find that, of all people, they who say, ‘Behold, we are Christians,’ come closest to feeling affection for those who believe: this is so because there are priests and monks among them, and because these are not given to arrogance.”

789Quran 005.110 “And God will say: ‘O Jesus! Recount my favor to you and to your mother. Behold! I strengthened you with the Holy Spirit so that you spoke to the people in the cradle and in the prime of life.’ Behold! I taught you the law and the judgment, the Torah and the Gospel. And behold, you made out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird and you breathed into it and it became a bird by My permission. And you healed those born blind by my permission and the lepers by my permission. And behold! You raised forth the dead by my permission. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from harming you when you came with clear proofs. And the unbelievers among the Jews said: ‘This is nothing but pure magic.’”

Quran 005.111 “Behold! I inspired the disciples to have faith in Me and My Messenger. They said, ‘We are believers, and bear witness that we prostrate ourselves to Allah as Muslims.’ Quran 5.112 Behold! The disciples, said: ‘O Jesus, can your Lord send down to us a table well laid out from heaven?’ Said Jesus: ‘Fear Allah, if you have faith.’ When the disciples said: ‘O Jesus, son of Mary, is your Lord able to send down for us a table spread with food from heaven?’ He said: ‘Observe your duty to Allah, if you are true believers.’ Quran 005.113 They said: ‘We only wish to eat thereof to satisfy our hearts, and to know that you have told us the truth. We want to witnesses a miracle.’ Said Jesus, the son of Mary: ‘O Allah our Lord! Send us from heaven a table well laid out, that there may be for us a feast, a Sign from you. Quran 005.115 Allah said: ‘I am going to send it down unto you, but if any of you after that disbelieves, resisting Faith [Islam], I will punish him with a torment such as I have not inflicted on any one of my creatures, man or jinn. I will punish them with a torment such as I have not inflicted on any one of my creatures. Quran 005.116 And behold! Allah will say: ‘O Jesus, the son of Mary! Did you say unto men, worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?’ He will say: ‘Glory to You! Never could I utter what I had no right. Quran 005.117 I only said what You (Allah) commanded me to say: Worship Allah, my lord and your Lord. I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them but you took me up.”

Tabari IX:86 “Don’t seduce the Jews or Christians for incumbent on them is to pay the jizyah protection tax.”

790Bukhari:V2B23N414 “The Prophet in his fatal illness said, “Allah cursed Jews and Christians because they took their Prophets’ graves as places for praying.’”

Bukhari:V4B55N607 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘On the night of my Ascension to Heaven, I saw Moses who was a thin person, looking like one of the men of the tribe of Shanua; and I saw Jesus with a red face as if he had just come out of a bathroom. And I resemble Abraham more than any of his offspring.’”

Quran 002.111 “And they said, ‘Never will enter al-Janata | the Paradise except who is hudan | being Jew or nasara | Nazarene (Christians).’ That their (vain) desires. Say, ‘Bring your proof if you are truthful.’ Nay, whoever submits His face to Allah and surrenders, he will get his reward; on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. The Jews say: ‘The Christians follow nothing; and the Christians say: ‘the Jews follow nothing (true);’ Yet they (profess to) recite the (same) Scripture Book. But Allah will judge between them in their quarrel.”

Quran 090.030 “And al-Yahud | the Jews say, ‘Uzayrun (Ezra) (is the) son (of) al-Lahi,’ and al-Nasara | the Christians say, ‘al-Masihu (the Messiah) (is the) son (of) al-Lahi.’ That (is) their saying with their mouths. They imitate the saying (of) those who disbelieved from before. The Curse of al-Lahu is to destroy them. How deluded are they?”

Quran 009.031 “They (Jews and Christians) have taken ahbarahum | their rabbis and ruh’banahum | their monks (as) arbaban | Lords from besides al-Lahi, and al-Masiha | the Messiah, son of Maryam. And they were not commanded except that they worship one ilahan | God. No ilaha | god except huwa | Him. Glory be to Him from what they associate.”

Quran 009.034 “O you who believe! Verily, there are many of al-ahbari | the rabbis and al-ruh’bani | the monks who devour, eating the wealth of mankind in falsehood, and hinder (them) from the Way of al-Lahi. And those who hoard up gold and silver and do 791not anfaqu | spend it in the Way (of) al-Lahi, give them bashir | happy tidings of a painful torment and severe punishment.”

Quran 002.116 “And they say ‘Al-Lahu has taken a son.’ Glory be to Him! Nay, lahu | for Him what in the heavens and the earth. All lahu | to Him subservient and obedient.”

Quran 002.145 “And even if you were to come to those who were given the Book (Jews and Christians) with all of ayat | signs, they would not follow your qiblah, nor are you a follower of their qiblah. And not some of them follows the others. And if you followed their desires from after what came to you of the knowledge, then indeed, surely of al-zalimun | cruel oppressors (polytheists). Quran 002.146 Those to whom We gave the Book, they recognize it (the Book, the Qibla, or Muhammad) as they recognize their sons. Lo, a group of them, surely they conceal the truth while they know (i.e. the qualities of Muhammad which are written in the Taurat (Torah) and in the Injeel (Gospel)).”

Tabari VIII:98 “Between the truce of Hudaybiyah and his death, the Messenger dispersed some of his Companions to the kings of the Arabs and the foreigners to call them to Allah. He sent a letter to Ibn Shihab. The letter stated: ‘I have been sent as a mercy and for all. Therefore, convey the message from me, and Allah shall have mercy on you. Do not become disobedient to me as the Disciples became disobedient to Jesus. He called them to the like of what I called you to. Those whom he sent close by were pleased and accepted; those whom he sent far off were refused. Jesus complained of their behavior to Allah, and when they awoke the next morning, each could speak the language of the people to whom he had been sent. Then Jesus said, ‘This is an affair that Allah has determined for you; so go forth!’”

Quran 061.014 “O you who believe! Be helpers (in the Cause) of al-Lahi as said ‘Iesa | Jesus, son of Maryam | Mary, to al-792Hawariun | the Disciples, ‘Who (are) my helpers for al-Lahi?’ The Disciples said, ‘We (are) al-Lahi’s helpers.’ Then a group of the Children of Israel believed and a group disbelieved. So We gave power to and supported those who believed against their enemy, and they became the dominant.”

Quran 003.036 “Then when she delivered her she said, ‘My Rabbi | Lord, lo, verily I delivered her a female. And al-Lahu knows better of what she delivered. And the female is not like the male so that I, myself, named her Maryam | Contentious and Embittered. And that I, myself, seek refuge for her in You and her offspring from al-Shaytani | the Adversary, the rejected.’ Quran 003.037 So accepted her, her Lord with acceptance good, and reared her a rearing good and put her in care of Zakariyya | Remember Yah. Whenever entered upon her Zakariyya | Remember Yah, the prayer chamber he found with her provision. He said, ‘O Maryam | Contentious and Embittered, from where for you this?’ She said, ‘This from al-Lahi. Lo, verily, al-Laha gives provision whom He wants without measure.’ Quran 003.038 There only invoked Zakariyya | Remember Yah, his Rabbi | Lord. He said, ‘My Rabbi, grant for me from yourself offspring pure. Lo, verily, You all-hearer the prayer.’ Quran 003.039 Then called him the angels when he standing praying in the prayer chamber, ‘Lo, verily, al-Laha gives you happy tidings of Yahya | Yah + Yah, confirming of a word from al-Lahi and a noble and chaste and a prophet among the righteous.’ Quran 003.042 And when said the angels, ‘O Maryamu | Contentious and Embittered, lo, verily, al-Laha chosen you and purified you and chosen you over women of the worlds. Mary! submit with obedience to your Lord (Allah). Prostrate yourself, and bow down with those [Muslims] who bow down. Quran 003.044 That from news the unseen. We reveal it to you. And not you were with them when they cast their pens, drew lots, or tossed arrows which of them takes charge Maryam | Contentious and not you were with them when they disputing.”

Quran 003.045 “‘When said the angels, ‘O Maryamu | Contentious and Embittered, lo, verily, al-Laha gives you glad tidings of a word from Him, his name al-Masihu | the Messiah Isa, son of Maryam | Contentious and Embittered. Honored in the world and the after and of those brought near. Quran 003.046 And he will speak the people in the cradle and maturity in old age and of the righteous.’ Quran 003.047 She said, ‘My Rabbi | Lord, how is it for 793me a boy and not touch me any man?’ He said, ‘Thus al-Lahu creates what He wants. When He decrees a matter then only He says to it, “Be,” and it is.’ Quran 003.048 And He will teach him the Book and the wisdom and the Taurat and the Injeel.”

Bukhari:V4B55N645 “The Prophet said, ‘None spoke in cradle but three: The first was Jesus, the second was an Israeli called Juraij. While he was offering his prayers, his mother called him. He said, “Shall I answer her or keep on praying?” He went on praying and did not answer her. His mother said, “O Allah! Do not let him die till he sees the faces of prostitutes.” And also the son of Pharoah’s daughter’s hair brusher.’”

Bukhari:V4B55N657 “Allah’s Messenger said, ‘Isa (Jesus), the son of Mariam, will shortly descend amongst you Muslims and will judge mankind by the law of the Quran. He will break the cross and kill the swine [Jews] and there will be no Jizyah tax taken from non-Muslims. Money will be so abundant no one will accept it. So you may recite this Holy Verse: “Isa (Jesus) was just a human being before his death. On the Day of Resurrection he (Jesus) will be a witness against the Christians.”’”

Bukhari:V4B55N658 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘How will you be when the son of Mary descends amongst you and he will judge people by the Law of the Quran and not by the law of Gospel.’”

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

794Quran 003.055 “When said al-Lahu, ‘O ‘Isa, lo, verily, I take you and raise you to myself and purify you from those who disbelieved and I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieved on Day of the Resurrection. Then to me your return and I will judge between you about what you were in it differing.’ Quran 003.056 Then as for those who disbelieved then I will punish them (with) a punishment severe, a terrible agony, in the world and the after. And not for them any helpers. Quran 005.072 They are surely infidels who say ‘Al-Laha, He (is) al-Masihu | the Messiah, ub’nu | son Maryam | Contentious.’ But said al-Masihu, ‘Yabani | O Children Is’raila | Israel, u’budo | worship al-Laha, my Rabbi and Rabbakum | your Lord.’”

Quran 004.051 “Do not you see towards those who were given a portion of al-kitabi | the writing (Book)? They believe in superstition and sorcery of the false deities. And say for those who disbelieved, ‘These better guided than those who believed way.’ Quran 004.052 Those the ones cursed al-Lahu and whoever cursed al-Lahu then never will you find for him helper.”

Racism

Ishaq:243 “I have heard the Apostle say: ‘Whoever wants to see Satan should look at Nabtal!’ He was a sturdy black man with long flowing hair, inflamed eyes, and dark ruddy cheeks. He used to come and talk with the Prophet and listen to him. He would carry what he had said to the hypocrites. Nabtal said, ‘Muhammad is all ears. If anyone tells him something he believes it.’ Allah sent down concerning him: ‘To those who annoy the Prophet and say that he is all ears, say, ‘Good ears for you.’ For those who annoy the Apostle there is a painful punishment.” (Quran 009.061) “Gabriel came to Muhammad and said, ‘If a black man comes to you his heart is more gross than a donkey’s.’”

Ishaq:144 “A rock was put on a slave’s chest. When Abu Bakr complained, they said, ‘You are the one who corrupted him, so save him from his plight.’ I will do so,’ said Bakr. ‘I have a black slave, 795tougher and stronger than Bilal, who is a heathen. I will exchange him. The transaction was carried out.”

Quran 009.097 “The Arabs of the desert are the worst in unbelief and hypocrisy, and most fitted to be in ignorance of the command which Allah hath sent down to His Messenger.”

Tabari II:11 “Shem, the son of Noah was the father of the Arabs, the Persians, and the Greeks; Ham was the father of the Black Africans; and Japheth was the father of the Turks and of Gog and Magog who were cousins of the Turks.”

Tabari II:14 “Noah prayed that the prophets and apostles would be descended from Shem and kings would be from Japheth. He prayed that the African’s color would change so that their descendants would be slaves to the Arabs and Turks.”

Tabari II:21 “Ham [Africans] begat those who are black and curly-haired. Japheth [Turks] begat those who are full-faced with small eyes. And Shem [Arabs] begat everyone who is handsome of face with beautiful hair. Noah prayed that the hair of Ham’s descendants would not grow beyond their ears, and that whenever his descendants met Shem’s, the latter would enslave them.”

Bukhari:V9B89N256 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘You should listen to and obey your ruler even if he is a black African slave whose head looks like a raisin.’”

Ishaq:405 “It is your folly to fight the Apostle, for Allah’s army is bound to disgrace you. We brought them to the pit. Hell was their meeting place. We collected them there, black slaves, men of no descent. Leaders of the infidels, why did you not learn from those thrown into Badr’s pit?” Ishaq:374 “The black troops and slaves of the Meccans cried out and the Muslims replied, ‘Allah destroy your sight, you impious rascals.’”

Bukhari:V4B52N137 “The Prophet said, ‘Let the negro slave of Dinar perish. And if he is pierced with a thorn, let him not find 796anyone to take it out for him. Paradise is for him who holds the reins of his horse to strive in Allah’s Cause with his hair unkempt and feet covered with dust. If he is appointed in the vanguard, he is perfectly satisfied with his post of guarding, and if he is appointed in the rearward, he accepts his post with satisfaction. If he [the black slave] asks for anything it shall not be granted, and if he needs intercession [to get into paradise], his intercession will be denied.’ The Prophet said, ‘Paradise is for him who holds the reins of his horse to strive in Allah’s Cause with his hair unkempt and feet covered with dust.’”

Women in Islam

Tabari IX:113 “Allah permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain, they have the right to food and clothing. Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Quran.”

Tabari I:280 “Allah said, ‘It is My obligation to make Eve bleed once every month as she made this tree bleed. I must also make Eve stupid, although I created her intelligent.’ Because Allah afflicted Eve, all of the women of this world menstruate and are stupid.”

Quran 004.003 “If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with orphans, then marry what seems suitable to you from the women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you cannot do justice (to so many), then only one, or (a slave) that you possess as booty. That will be more suitable so not you oppress.”

Quran 004.011 “Allah directs you in regard of your children, for the male, a portion equal to that of two females. But if there are women more than two, then for them two thirds what he left. And if is one, then for her half. And for his parents, for each one of them a sixth of what left if is for him a child. But if not is for him any child and inherited him his parents, then for his mother one third. And if are for him brothers and sisters, then for him mother the sixth from after any will he has made of which or any debt. Your parents and 797your children not you know which of them nearer to you benefit. An obligation from al-Lahi. Lo, al-Laha is all-knower, all-wise.”

Bukhari:V1B22N28 “The Prophet said: ‘I was shown the Hell Fire and the majority of its dwellers were women who are disbelievers or ungrateful.’ When asked what they were ungrateful for, the Prophet answered, ‘All the favors done for them by their husbands.’”

Muslim:B1N142 “‘O womenfolk, you should ask for forgiveness for I saw you in bulk amongst the dwellers of Hell.’ A wise lady said: Why is it, Allah’s Apostle, that women comprise the bulk of the inhabitants of Hell? The Prophet observed: ‘You curse too much and are ungrateful to your spouses. You lack common sense, fail in religion and rob the wisdom of the wise.’ Upon this the woman remarked: What is wrong with our common sense? The Prophet replied, ‘Your lack of common sense can be determined from the fact that the evidence of two women is equal to one man. That is a proof.’”

Quran 004.043 “O you who believed not go near the prostration performance while you intoxicated in a drunken stupor until you know what you are saying and not junuban | broken, on one’s side, distant in avoidance (impure) except passing a way until you have bathed. And if you are ill or on a journey or came one of you from doing potty or you have touched the women and not you find water then do tayammum with earth clean and fa’im’sahu | messiah (wipe) your faces and your hands.”

Quran 004.015 “And those who yatina | meet with or engage in, commit or endure l-fahishata | the excessive, lewd, or forbidden from your women then call to witness against them four among you. And if they testify then confine them in their houses until comes to them the death or makes al-Lahu for them a way.”

Stupidity

Tabari I:299 “Scholars of the nation of our Prophet say, ‘The tree which Allah forbade Adam and his spouse to eat was wheat.’”

Tabari I:321 “When Eve became heavy with her first pregnancy, Satan came to her before she gave birth and said, ‘Eve, what is that in your womb?’ She said, ‘I do not know.’ He asked, ‘Where will it come out from – your nose, your eye, or your ear?’ She replied, ‘I do not know.’ He said, ‘Don’t you think, if it comes out healthy, you should obey me in whatever I command you?’ When she said, ‘Yes,’ he said: ‘Name him Abd al-Harith Iblis – Slave to the Cursed Devil!’ She agreed. Adam said to him, ‘I obeyed 800you once before and you caused me to be driven out of Paradise.’ So, he refused to obey him and called the child Abd Ar-Rahman.”

Tabari I:299 “It was the cover of fingernails that had kept their secret parts concealed.”

Tabari I:275 “Iblis wanted to meet them in Paradise, but the keepers prevented him from entering. He went to a snake, an animal with four feet like a camel. Iblis tried to persuade it to let him enter its mouth and take him to Adam. The snake agreed, passed by the keepers, and entered without their knowledge, because that was Allah’s plan.”

Tabari I:278 “Adam went inside the tree to hide. “Eve cut the tree and it bled. The feather that covered Adam and Eve dropped off. Now Eve, as you caused the tree to bleed, you will bleed every new moon, and you, snake, I will cut off your feet and you will walk slithering on your face.” For giggles: “Some camels were originally jinn.”

Tabari I:279 “It was a tree which made whoever ate from it defecate. But there must be no feces in Paradise.”

Tabari I:281 “I heard him swear by Allah unequivocally, ‘As long as Adam was in his right mind, he would never have eaten from the tree. Eve gave him wine and got him drunk. She led him to the tree.”

Tabari I:267 “And He [Allah] taught Adam all the names as follows: He taught him the name of everything, down to fart and little fart. [That’s what it says.] And Adam told each kind of creature about its name and referred it to its genus. Allah said, ‘I know what you do not know.’”

Bukhari:V1B4N137 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘The prayer of a person who does Hadath (passes urine, stool or wind) is not accepted till he performs ablution.’”

Bukhari:V1B4N156 “The Prophet said, ‘Whenever anyone makes water he should not hold his penis or clean his private parts 801with his right hand. While drinking, one should not breathe in the utensil.’”

Bukhari:V1B4N163 “The Prophet said, ‘Whoever cleans his private parts with stones should do it with an odd number of stones. And whoever wakes up should wash his hands before putting them in the water for ablution. Nobody knows where his hands were during sleep.’”

Bukhari:V1B4N174 “During the lifetime of Allah’s Apostle dogs used to urinate and pass through the mosque. Nevertheless they never used to sprinkle water on it.”

Tabari I:367 “The Apostles said to Jesus, ‘Would you send us a man who saw the ark and could tell us about it.’ He took a handful of the earth in his palm and asked, ‘Do you know what this is?’ ‘Allah and His prophet know best!’ they replied. Jesus said, ‘This is the grave of Noah’s son, Ham.’ He struck the hill with his staff and said, ‘Rise with Allah’s permission!’ And behold there was Ham, with gray hair, shaking the earth from his head. Jesus asked him whether he had perished in that state with gray hair. Ham replied, ‘No when I died, I was a young man, but I thought the Day of Doom had come, and my hair turned gray.’ Jesus said, ‘Tell us about Noah’s ark.’ He said, ‘It was 1,200 cubits long [nearly 4,000 feet] and 600 cubits wide. It had three stories, one for domestic and wild animals, another for human beings, and a third for birds. When the dung of the animals became excessive, Allah inspired Noah to tickle the elephant’s tail. He did, and a male and female hog fell down and attacked the dung. When the rat fell down into the seams of the planks of the ark and gnawed at them, Allah inspired Noah to strike the lion between its eyes and a male and female cat came out from its nose and attacked the rat.’”

Tabari I:360 “The first animal to be put aboard was the ant, and the last the donkey. When Nuh brought the donkey in, Iblis (the Devil) attached himself to its tail, so that it could not lift its legs. Nuh started to say, ‘Woe to you. Go in.’ The donkey rose but was unable to move. Nuh said, ‘Woe to you. Go in even if Satan is with you.’ It was a slip of the tongue, but when Nuh said it, Satan let the donkey proceed. It went in, and Satan went in with it. Nuh said, ‘How did you get in here with me?’ Satan replied, ‘You cannot escape from having me on board.’ Satan stayed in the boat’s rear.” Nuh also 802carried along Adam’s corpse, making it a barrier between the women and men.”

Tabari II:106 “Nimrod was ignorant. He was the first tyrant on earth. So, Allah sent gnats against them, and they ate their flesh and drank their blood, and nothing but their bones were left. But Allah gave Nimrod a single gnat which entered his nostril and went on beating the inside of his head with hammers for four hundred years. The most merciful of his friends was he who bunched up his hands and beat Nimrod’s head with them.”

Tabari II:107 “Nimrod vowed to seek out Abraham’s God. So he took four eagle fledglings and nurtured them on meat and wine so that they grew up tough and strong. Then he tied them to a chest and sat in it. He suspended a piece of meat over them and they flew up trying to reach it. When they had risen high in the sky, Nimrod looked down and beheld the earth. He saw the mountains crawling below like creeping ants. When they had risen still higher, he looked and saw the earth with a sea surrounding it. After climbing still higher, he came into a region of darkness and could not see what was above him nor what was below him. He became frightened and threw the meat down. The eagles followed it, darting downward. When the mountains saw them coming near and heard their noise, they became afraid and almost moved from their places, but did not do so. As Allah says, ‘Verily they have plotted their plot, and their plot is with Allah, even if their plot were one whereby the mountains should be moved.’” (Quran 014.046)

Tabari II:78 “And everything that heard him-stones, trees, hills, and dust said, ‘Here I am, my Allah, here I am.’”

Tabari VI:66 “Umar said, ‘By Allah I was by one of the idols of the Jahiliyyah. An Arab sacrificed a calf to it, and we were waiting for it to be divided up in order to receive a share. I heard coming from the belly of the calf a voice which was more penetrating than any I’ve heard. The dead calf’s belly said, ‘There is no ilah but Allah.’”

Ishaq:85 “The people were afraid to demolish the temple and withdrew in terror from it. Al-Walid said, ‘I will begin the demolition.’ He took up his pickaxe and walked up to Allah’s House saying, ‘O Ka’aba, do not be afraid. O Allah we intend nothing but good.’ The he demolished part of it near the two corners.”

Bukhari:V4B54N52 “The Prophet said, ‘Kill the snake with two white lines on its back, for it blinds the onlooker and causes abortion.’”

Tabari VI:75 “‘Messenger, how did you first know with absolute certainty that you were a prophet?’ He replied, ‘Two angels came to me while I was somewhere in Mecca…. One angel said, ‘Open his breast and take out his heart.’ He opened my chest and heart, removing the pollution of Satan and a clot of blood, and threw them away. Then one said, “Wash his breast as you would a receptacle.” He summoned the Sakinah [the Hebrew Shekhinah is exclusively a rabbinic and religious term], which looked like the face of a white cat, and it was placed in my heart. Then one said, “Sew up his breast.” So they sewed up my chest and placed the seal between my shoulders.’”

Quran 033.069 “O you who believe, not be like those who abused Musa. Then al-Lahu cleared him of what they said. And he was honorable with al-Lahi.” Bukhari:V4B55N616 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘The Prophet Moses was a shy person and used to cover his 804body. An Israeli insulted him, saying, “He covers it because of some defect like leprosy or scrotal hernia.” Allah wished to clear Moses of this allegation, so one day he took off his clothes, put them on a stone and started taking a bath. When he moved towards his clothes the stone took them and fled. Moses picked up his staff and ran after the stone saying, “O stone! Give me back my clothes!” He reached some Israelis who saw him naked, and found him to be the best of what Allah had created. The stone stopped there and Moses took his garments and started hitting the stone with his stick. By Allah, the stone still has some traces of the hitting, three, four or five marks. This was what Allah meant when he revealed the surah saying: “O you who believe! Be you not like those who annoyed Moses. Allah proved his innocence of that which they alleged.”’”

805Ishaq:565 “The Apostle sent Khalid to destroy the idol Al-Uzza in the lowland of Nakhlah. The Quraysh used to venerate her temple. When Sulami heard of Khalid’s approach, he hung his sword on Al-Uzza, climbed a mountain, and shouted: ‘O Uzza, make an annihilating attack on Khalid. Throw aside your veil and gird up your train. O Uzza, if you do not kill Khalid then bear a swift punishment or become a Christian.’ When Khalid arrived he destroyed her and returned to the Apostle.”

Tabari VIII:187 “‘I have destroyed it,’ he said to Muhammad. ‘Did you see anything?’ ‘No.’ ‘Then,’ Muhammad said, ‘go back and kill her.’ So Khalid returned to the idol. He destroyed her temple and broke her graven image. The shrine’s keeper began saying, ‘Rage, O Uzza, display one of your fits of rage!’ Whereupon a naked, wailing Ethiopian woman came out before him.

Islamic Science

Bukhari:V4B55N546 “A Jewish rabbi, Abdulla bin Salam approached the Messenger. ‘I am going to ask you three things which nobody knows except a prophet. What is the first portent of the Hour? What will be the first meal taken in Paradise? Why does a child resemble its father, and why does it resemble its mother?’

Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Gabriel has just now told me of the answers.’ ‘Gabriel, from among all the angels, is the enemy of the Jews.’ ‘The first portent of the Hour will be a fire that will bring the people from east to west. The first meal of Paradise will be caudate lobe of fish-liver. As for the resemblance of a child to its parents: If a man has sexual intercourse with his wife and gets discharge first, the child will resemble him, and if the woman gets discharge first, the child will resemble her.’ On that the rabbi said, ‘I testify you are the Apostle of Allah, and that Jews are liars.’”

Tabari I:258 & Quran 015.026 “Allah created Adam from sticky clay, meaning viscous and sweet smelling, from slime, being stinking. It became stinking slime after having been compact soil. Allah formed Adam with His own hand.”

Quran 080.017 “Be cursed man how ungrateful is he? Quran 080.018 From what thing He created him? Quran 080.019 From nutfah He created him then He proportioned him.”

Tabari I:258 “Allah sent Gabriel to the Earth to bring him some clay. The Earth said, ‘I take refuge in Allah against you mutilating me. So Gabriel returned without having taken any clay and said, ‘Lord, the earth took refuge in you, and I granted its wish. Allah then sent Michael, and exactly the same thing happened. Then he sent the angel of death. He took some soil from the Earth and made a mixture. He did not take it from a single place but took red, white, and black soil, so the sons of Adam came out different.”

808Bukhari:V4B54N430 “Allah’s Apostle, the true and truly inspired said, ‘Regarding the matter of the creation of a human being: humans are put together in the womb of the mother in forty days. Then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period. He becomes a piece of flesh for forty days. Then Allah sends an angel who is ordered to write four things: the new creature’s deeds, livelihood, date of death, and whether he will be blessed or wretched. He will do whatever is written for him.’”

Tabari I:293 “When Allah cast Adam down from Paradise, Adam’s feet were on earth while his head was in heaven. He became too familiar with the angels and they were in awe of him so much so that they complained to Allah in their various prayers. Allah, therefore, lowered Adam. But Adam missed what he used to hear from the angels and felt lonely. He complained to Allah and was sent to Mecca. On the way, every place where he set foot became a village, and the interval between his steps became a desert until he reached Mecca.”

Bukhari:V4B54N482 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘The Hell Fire complained to its Lord saying, “O my Lord! My different parts are eating each other up.” So, He allowed it to take two breaths, one in winter, the other in summer. This is the reason for the severe heat and bitter cold you find in weather.’”

Bukhari:V1B10N510 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘If it is very hot, the severity of the heat is from the raging of the Hell Fire.’”

Quran 056.058 “Have you seen that which you emit? Quran 056.059 Is it you who create it, or are We the creators (of semen)? Quran 056.060 We have decreed and ordained death to you all, and We are not to be outrun, Quran 056.061 From replacing you with others, transfiguring you in (forms) that you know not.

“Tell us about your sleep.” Answer: “Do you not know that a sleep which you allege I do not have is when the eye sleeps but the 809heart is awake?” Question: “Tell us about what Israel [Jacob] voluntarily forbade himself.” Answer: “Do you not know that the food he loved best was the flesh and milk of camels or perhaps two lobes of liver, kidneys, and fat?” Question: “Tell us about the spirit.” Answer: “‘Do you not know that it is Gabriel, he who comes to me?’ ‘Agreed,’ the rabbis said. ‘But Muhammad, your spirit is an enemy to us, an angel who comes only with violence and the shedding of blood, and were it not for that we would follow you.”

Quran 033.072 “Lo, offered the opportunity to the Heavens, and the Earth, and the Mountains, but they refused to take it, being afraid. But the man undertook it. Indeed, he was unjust and ignorant, Quran 033.073 so that al-Lahu may punish the hypocrite men and the hypocrite women, and the wrong polytheist men and the wrong polytheist women. And al-Lahu will turn to the believing men and the Muslim women. And al-Lahu forgiving, merciful.”

Tabari I:232 “Gabriel brings to the sun a garment of luminosity from the light of Allah’s Throne according to the measure of the hours of the day. The garment is longer in the summer and shorter in the winter, and of intermediate length in autumn and spring. The sun puts on that garment as one of you here puts on his clothes.”

Tabari I:233 “Ibn Abbas took a piece of wood and started to hit the ground with it. He did that for some time. Then lifting his head he threw away the wood and said, ‘You want me to tell you what I heard the Messenger say about the sun and moon and the beginning of creation and how things went with them?’ We said, ‘We would.’ When the Messenger was asked about that, he replied, ‘When Allah was done with His creation and only Adam remained to be created, He created two suns from the light of His Throne. His foreknowledge told Him that He would efface one and change it to a moon; so the moon is smaller in size than the sun.’

Muhammad continued, ‘If Allah had left the two suns as He created them, night would not have been distinguishable from day. A fasting person would not know when he must fast. A woman would not know how to reckon the period of her impurity. Muslims would not know the time of the pilgrimage. Allah was too concerned with His slaves to do such a thing.’”

810Tabari I:234 “Allah thus sent Gabriel to drag his wing three times over the face of the moon, which at the time was a sun. He effaced its luminosity and left the light in it. This is what Allah means: (in Quran 017.012) ‘We have blotted out the sign of the night, and We have made the sign of the day something to see by.’”

Tabari I:244 “Allah then created for the sun a chariot with 360 handholds from the luminosity of the light of the Throne and entrusted 360 of the angels inhabiting the lower heaven with the sun and its chariot, each of them gripping one of those handholds. Allah also entrusted 360 angels with the moon.”

Tabari I:234 “Then the Prophet said: ‘For the sun and the moon, Allah created easts and wests on the two sides of the earth and the two rims of heaven. There are 180 springs in the west of black clay – this is why Allah’s word says: “He found the sun setting in a muddy spring.” (Quran 018.086) The black clay bubbles and boils like a pot when it boils furiously.’”

Quran 018.083-91 “They ask you about Dhu’l-Qarnain [Alexander]. Say, ‘I will cite something of his story. Lo! We established him in the earth and We gave him the means to accomplish his goals, the means to all ends, and in everything a way. So, he followed a path, until he reached the setting place of the sun. He found it setting in a black, muddy, spring. And he found near it people.”

Tabari I:236 “‘When the sun rises upon its chariot from one of those springs it is accompanied by 360 angels with outspread wings…. When Allah wishes to test the sun and the moon, showing His servants a sign and thereby getting them to obey, the sun tumbles from the chariot and falls into the deep end of that ocean. When Allah wants to increase the significance of the sign and frighten His servants severely, all of the sun falls and nothing of it remains in the chariot. That is a total eclipse of the sun. It is a misfortune for the sun.’”

Tabari I:235 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Allah created an ocean three farakhs (918 kilometers) removed from heaven. Waves contained, it stands in the air by the command of Allah. No drop of it is spilled. All the oceans are motionless, but that ocean flows at the speed of an arrow. The sun, moon and retrograde stars [planets] by which Allah swears in the Quran [Quran 081.015], run like the sun 811and moon and race. All of the other stars are suspended from heaven as lamps are from mosques, and circulate together praising Allah. The Prophet said, ‘If you wish to have this made clear, look to the circulation of the sphere alternately here and there.’”

Tabari I:236 “Allah created two cities out in space, each with ten thousand gates, each 6 kilometers distant from the other. [Making the extraterrestrial cities bigger than the Earth.] By Allah, were those people not so many and so noisy, all the inhabitants of this world would hear the loud crash made by the sun falling when it rises and when it sets. Gabriel took me to them during my Night Journey from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque [the nonexistent Temple in Jerusalem]. I told the people of these cities to worship Allah but they refused to listen to me.”

Bukhari:V4B54N421 “I walked hand in hand with the Prophet when the sun was about to set. We did not stop looking at it. The Prophet asked, ‘Do you know where the sun goes at sunset?’ I replied, ‘Allah and His Apostle know better.’ He said, ‘It travels until it falls down and prostrates Itself underneath the Throne. The angels who are in charge of the sun prostrate themselves, also. The sun asks permission to rise again. It is permitted. Then it will prostrate itself again but this prostration will not be accepted. The sun then says, “My Lord, where do You command me to rise, from where I set or from where I rose?” Allah will order the sun to return whence it has come and so the sun will rise in the west. And that is the interpretation of the statement of Allah in the Quran: “And the sun runs its fixed course for a term (decreed). That is the Decree of the All-Knowing.”’” (Quran 036.038)

Quran 036.038 “And the sun keeps revolving in its orbit, That is the ordinance and decree, even the dispensation of the Knowing, the Mighty, the Wise. Quran 036.039 And the moon, We have measured and appointed, even ordained, for her mansions until she returns like dried date stalks or old, shriveled palm leaves. Quran 036.040 It is not permitted for the Sun to overtake the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day. They swim and float along in orbit in a sphere. Quran 036.041 And a Sign for them is that We bore their progeny, conceiving their offspring, in the laden ship (of Nuh). Quran 036.042 And We have created for them of the like thereunto, similar vessels, for them to ride. Quran 036.043 We could have drowned them if We pleased. And there will be no shout (or helper) 812for them (to hear their cry) nor will they be saved. Quran 036.044 Unless it be a mercy from Us and as an enjoyment for a time.”

Tabari I:332 “The sun and the moon were in eclipse for seven days and nights.”

Quran 067.003 “Who created the seven heavens, one above the other. Can you see any fault in Ar-Rahman’s creation? Then look again, can you see any rifts or fissures? Then look again and yet again. Your sight will return to you in a state of humiliation, dazed, and dimmed. Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with lamps, and We have made such lamps as missiles to drive away ha Shayatin | the Adversary, these Satanic devils, and We have prepared for them the doom of Hell, the penalty of torment in the most intense Blazing Fire.

And for those who reject and believe not in their Rabbi | Lord is the punishment of Hell, such a wretched destination – a hapless journey’s end and evil resort. When they are flung in, they will hear the terrible drawing in of their breath, the roar and raging. It bursts with fury. Whenever a fresh host and new crowd is cast in, its wardens will ask, ‘Did no warner come to you?’ They will say, ‘Yea, verily, a warner did come to us, but we rejected him and said, “God never sent down anything. You are nothing more than an egregious delusion and great error!”’ And they will say, ‘Had we but listened or had sense, we would not have been among the dwellers of the Fire!’ They will confess their guilt. So, away with the inmates of the burning fire.”

Quran 038.027 “We did not create the heavens and the earth and whatever lies between them for nothing. That is the assumption of those who disbelieve. So woe disbelievers from the Fire.”

Quran 021.026 “Don’t the unbelievers see that the heavens and earth were joined together in one piece before we clove them asunder? ...Will they not believe? And We have set on the earth mountains as stabilizers, lest the earth should convulse without them. And We have made therein broad highways for them to pass through, that they may be guided. We have made the heaven a roof well guarded. Yet they turn away from its Signs! All (the celestial bodies) swim along, on a course, floating.”

Quran 002.189 “They ask you about the new moons. Say, ‘They indicators of periods for the people and the Hajj. And it is not 813the pious that you come the houses from their backs and but the pious who fears. And come the houses from their doors. And fear al-Laha so that you may be successful.”

Tabari I:204 “I asked the Prophet, ‘Where was Allah before His creation?’ Muhammad replied: ‘He was in a cloud with no air underneath or above it.’”

Tabari I:219 “When Allah wanted to create the creation, He brought forth smoke from the water. The smoke hovered loftily over it. He called it ‘heaven.’ Then He dried out the water and made it earth. He split it and made it seven earths on Sunday.

He created the earth upon a big fish, that being the fish mentioned in the Quran. By the Pen, the fish was in the water. The water was upon the back of a small rock. The rock was on the back of an angel. The angel was on a big rock. The big rock was in the wind. The fish became agitated. As a result, the earth quaked, so Allah anchored the mountains and made it stable. This is why the Quran says Allah made for the earth ‘firmly anchored mountains, lest it shake you up.’”
