Muhammad - false prophet
According to Allah, women exist primarily for the sexual gratification
of men. To ensure this goal, the Koran allows an ordinary Muslim to
marry four wives, though wealthy Muslims can fill their harems to the
extent of the wealth and lust. The latter practice has been encouraged
by the example Muhammad himself who did not follow the Koranic limitations
of four wives.
After the death of his first wife, Khadija, he married nine wives.
One of them, Aiysha, was only nine years old. She was the daughter of
Abu Bakr As Siddiq who was a close friend of the Prophet and in charge
of his books. Muhammad was 53 years old when he insisted in marrying
Aiysha, a nine years old child, immature, and obviously ignorant of
married life. He also gave his twelve years old daughter, Fatima, in
marriage to his cousin Ali binAbu Taleb. These criminal acts of child
abuse alone suffice to discredit Muhammad's claim to be the greatest
prophet sent by Allah, even greater that Jesus Christ Himself.
The fact that the Koranic God permits special people like Muhammad
to do things forbidden to others, raises serious questions about His
moral character and consistency. Muhammad claims that Allah gave him
the permission to marry any other woman he fancied. Here is the relevant
text from the Koran:
"Oh Prophet, We have made lawful for thee thy wives whom thou
hast given their wages and what thy right hand owns, spoils of war
that God has given thee, and the daughter of thy uncles paternal and
aunts paternal, thy uncles maternal and aunts maternal, who have emigrated
with thee, and any woman believer, if she give herself to the Prophet
and if the Prophet desire to take her in marriage, for thee exclusively."
(Surah, The Confederates, vs. 49 ff)
The special provision granted by the Koran to a man like Muhammad to
take any woman as wife, even those captured in warfare, without any
regard to the will of the women, clearly shows that Allah treats women
as lambs to be led to the slaughter by the whims of men. After a man
has obtained whatever he desires from a woman, he is free to keep or
dismiss her without fear of injustice. This is clearly taught in the
same Surah: "Thou mayest put off whom thou wilt of them, and whom
thou wilt thou mayest take to thee; and if thou seekest any thou hast
set aside there is no fault in thee" (Surah, The Confederates,
v. 50).
Women in the afterlife
In the Koran and the Hadith - traditional teachings of Muhammad - in
the afterlife, most women are consigned to Hell fire to suffer eternally.
Only some chaste maidens, known as hur, will live in the garden of Paradise,
in order to provide sexual gratification to faithful Muslims.
