Qur'an 88:1 "Has the narration reached you of the overwhelming (calamity)?" Good Grief. Muhammad has repeated the dreadful tale of woe so many times he's become the Prophet of Doom. "Some faces (all disbelievers, Jews and Christians) that Day, will be humiliated, downcast, scorched by the burning fire, while they are made to drink from a boiling hot spring." Muhammad's continued desire to burn his detractors and force them to drink boiling water serves as confirmation he was abused. In all probability he was burnt with fire and punished with scalding water. Still feeling unloved, the victimized boy became a victimizer by threatening all who stood in his way with the same torments he himself endured. The lack of any historical evidence, scriptural or otherwise, surrounding Muhammad's childhood makes the molestation charge difficult to prove. All we have is the testimony of the victim. Yet it is plentiful, consistent, and convincing. Muhammad's desire to see his critics punished, to suffer in the manner he suffered, is unexplainable any other way. Victims victimize in like fashion. Abuse breeds abuse. Qur'an 88:6 "They shall have no food but a poisonous plant with bitter thorns, which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger." It obviously haunted him. And his torments have survived to haunt us today. Even as he transitions to paradise, Muhammad can't restrain himself. He must tweak the nose of those who are verbally abusing him. Heaven is being rid of them. In a way, it's very sad. Qur'an 88:8 "(Other) faces will be joyful, glad with their endeavour. In a lofty Garden they hear no harmful speech." Qur'an 88:12 "Therein will be a bubbling spring, raised throne-like couches, drinking cups ready placed, cushions set in rows, and rich silken carpets all spread out." In most political doctrines Utopia reflects the desires of the inventor. The more vividly Muhammad portrays heaven, the more we learn about his ambitions. Just as in his descriptions of hell, with each word we see the prophet more clearly. For another look, consider: Bukhari:V4B55N544 "Allah's Apostle said, 'The first group who will enter Paradise will be glittering like the moon and those who will follow will glitter like the most brilliant star. They will not urinate, relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal secretions. Their combs will be gold and their sweat will smell like musk. Their companions will be houris . All of them will look alike and will be sixty cubits (180 feet) tall.'" Without missing a beat we turn from paradise to camels: Qur'an 88:17 "Will they not consider the camels, how they are created? And the sky, how it is raised? The mountains, how they are rooted, and the Earth, how it is spread out?" Unable to perform a miracle Muhammad claimed the oddest things as proof. Qur'an 88:21 "So remind, you are only a reminder. You are not a warden over them; except for those who turn away and disbelieve, in which case, he will be punished with the severest punishment. Verily to Us they will return." The Islamic god is saying that his prophet is the jail keeper of all who deny Islam so that he (Allah) can personally attend to our punishment. |
