Old Testament

Old Testament and Talmud

  • Old Testament
    • Hatred of Pagans (Reason)
      • Psalms 106:37
    • Story of Lot and Gomorrah
    • Samson’s Marriage
      • Judges 14:16
    • Don’t Hide Your Sins (Good)
      • Proverbs 28:13
  • Talmud
    • Sanhedrin 43a (Stoning Jesus)
      • He violated Deuteronomy 13:11-12 (Misleading people) and Leviticus 20:27 (Spirit Telling).

Sin (chet) is a result of improper channeling of our human impulses (Yetzer). We have Yetzer-Hatov (Good Inclination) and Yetzer-Hara (Good/Bad Inclination). And God forgives.

It is commonly said that Israel claimed to be superior than the others. But really, Israel only claims to be people chosen for a purpose. A commonly cited Talmud excerpt (Yevamot 62a.14) is that the Israelites consider Gentiles to be like donkeys, considering it to be pejorative. However, that was only a metaphoric tool used for declaring the legal status of the lineage a Gentile who wants to be Jew. The term donkey is not used in a pejorative sense.

The reality on how Israel views Gentiles is given in another excerpt where the Israelites consider Gentiles to be like dogs and themselves to be like donkeys. So when we walk the Earth, the commandments are like luggage. And the dogs, tired of the luggage, placed the burden on the donkeys, so that they both can walk in comfort. So the reference to dogs was only made in the sense that Israelites work harder for the sake of the Gentiles. This is from Sifrei Devarim 343:6 (donkey is written as ass, in case you don’t see it with Ctrl+F). Sifrei Devarim is a Midrash text on the Book of Deuteronomy composed in 200 CE by Rabbi Akiva.

However, Mohammed said that they are like donkeys carrying around the Torah, by not understanding its contents (Quran 62:5).

Also, sin of Sodom was not explicitly mentioned as homosexuality by any prophets. They were only mentioned as wicked. https://books.google.co.in/books?id=TfBYd9xVaXcC&pg=PA37&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false It was the Church that decided to call homosexuality the sin, although the prophets only refer to Sodom the city. The people of Sodom tried to mass-rape the two heavenly emissaries.

Notes on where and how the laws apply

Old Testament:

  • Lev 20:24-26 states that the rules (Lev 20:13, etc.) are for the people of Israel.
  • It is also the responsibility of the Judges (Dt 17:6-9).
  • Lev 1:1-2 states that the book is for Israel.

New Testament:

  • We are in the Church age (Eph 3:1-5).

  • The Church cannot punish sinners, only the government can (Romans 13:1-4).

  • Lord will deal with Israel in the End Times (Rev 7-19).

  • Paul is the Apostle of the Gentiles (Rom 11:11-13).

  • But only a small portion of the Bible is to Gentiles, most others are to Israel.

  • Bible doesn’t specify or condemn death penality to homosexuals. But it doesn’t oppose.

  • Romans 13:1-4 gives the state the power to execute criminals, but doesn’t specify what is criminal.

  • God doesn’t always want what’s moral.

  • He wants his plan done.

Nature of Christians outside the Bible

Some of his more common lies are “there is no God,” “God doesn’t care about you,” “the Bible cannot be trusted,” and “your good works will get you into heaven.”

Christians justify that God ordered to kill all babies. They justify that if God says so, killing people is moral.

They say that death is everywhere and humans cannot be united. This is wishful thinking.

Evils of Christianity

  • Salem Witch Trials (massacre of educated women)
  • Antisemitic Pogroms (massacre of Jews)
  • Anti-Abortion campaigns (against rational philosophy)
  • Persecution of LGBTQIA+ (dangerous to mental health, violation of humanity)
  • Terrorist attacks (minimal in the modern world, but radicals exist)

      • People say that killing baby Hitler is okay, but not killing any babies by knowing of their potential evil nature. But they ignore something fundamental about how evil arises as an emergent phenomena, not as something spiritual.
    • Taking Sex Slaves
      • They have to take care of the captive women, and they can get intimate with them without nikah
        • Exceptions are pregnant women and women whose husbands are also made captives
        • But all adults are killed during war, so husbands cannot actually be captured.

        • True* translation (doubtful, I guess I’m wrong by most Tafsirs): It says slaves of Muslims should be given, not Muslims slaves. I read the Arabic translation (maybe my bad).
        • More Notes:
          • This is for impatient men. They can’t marry slaves if they have free wives. (But what about Aisha Mohammed Hadith? I’ll see)
            • But they can marry multiple slaves, although if they already have one wife, they can’t be considered impatient? Scholars vary. Some say he’s satisfied, others say one can have upto 4 wives to be satisfied.
          • Owners can’t marry slaves without freeing them. But he can have sex.
            • This is because the contract of ownership is stronger than the contract of marriage. And one cannot have both, the contract of ownership supersedes, until she’s freed.
              • And this is because the contracts of marriage give more rights that the contracts of slavery does not. So if she’s not given those rights, it will make a contradiction.
        • Now, why would a slave believe? What would she gain?
          • The master can have sex with her whether she believes or not, so no gain.
          • Some impatient guy can have sex with her if she believes, so a downside.
          • Also acceptance of Islam nullifies her previous marriage (if husband is alive), so, unfaithful.
          • Is she coerced?
      • 30:28 (Would you ever allow your slaves to be equal partners in wealth to you?)
      • 24:33 (Only guideline: do not make them prostitutes to earn money / pimp)
      • 33:50 (Have relationships with wives to whom you’ve paid dowry to, and slave women)
      • 66:1 (Why refuse what Allah has made lawful?)
        • 66:2-4 (you can break such oaths, and when the wives asked, he replied Allah said so)
        • 66:5 (if they are annoying, he may divorce you and Allah may give him other better wives)
        • But an earlier worse said nobody can marry his wives if he divorces them
        • 66:6-9 to change context to instill fear of hell
        • 66:10 verse about bad women (Lot’s daughters)
        • 66:11 verse about obedient women
        • 66:12 verse about Mariam, the chaste
      • Freeing slaves to make up for sins is mentioned, but one could also just repent
      • A slave woman could reject her master for illness, etc.
      • Don’t marry polytheist women, believing slaves are better
        • Although slaves by definition would be originally non-Muslims

        • Quran 23:5-6, Quran 70:27-30, Quran 4:24
    • Treatment of Slaves
      • If a slave woman is married by the owner, the children will be free
      • If a slave woman is married to another man, the children will be slaves of the owner
      • By marrying slaves off, the owner gets more slaves, and is lifted of the burden of accommodating them.
      • 16:71 (Do not give what Allah has gifted you to your slaves to be equal with them)

        • 5957 (Dress, Hadeeth 173): I purchased a cushion with pictures on it. The Prophet (came and) stood at the door but did not enter. I said (to him), “I repent to Allah for what (the guilt) I have done.” He said, “What is this cushion?” I said, “It is for you to sit on and recline on.” He said, “The makers of these pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said to them, ‘Make alive what you have created.’ Moreover, the angels do not enter a house where there are pictures.‘”

    • Jihad against nonbelievers
      • Saheeh al-Bukhari
        • 25 (Belief, Hadeeth 18): Allah’s Messenger () said: “I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s Messenger (), and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah.”
        • 3015 (Jihad, Hadeeth 224): During some of the Ghazawat of Allah’s Messenger () a woman was found killed, so Allah’s Messenger () forbade the killing of women and children.
          • Note how it doesn’t say kill only those who fight, so all adult males are to be killed (ones with pubic hair).
    • Killing all adult males who had pubic hair after battle
      • Jami at-Tirmidhi (Saheeh)
        • 1584 (The Book on Military Expeditions, Hadeeth 41): “We were presented to the Messenger of Allah () on the day of (the battle of) Quraizah. Whoever had pubic hair was killed and whoever did not was left to his way. I was of those who did not have pubic hair so I was left to my way.” Abu ‘Eisa said: This Hadith is Hasan Saheeh. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge. They consider pubic hair an indication of the age of responsibility, if it is not known whether he has had a wet dream, or his age. This is the view of Ahmad and Ishaq.

        • History
          • The Split at Nahrawan
            • The Kharijites formed by leaving ‘Ali.
            • ‘Abdallah ibn Wahb was chosen as the first Kharijite Imam.
              • Wahbi is seen as the purest Aqida of Islaam by Ibadis.
              • See the book “Al-‘Aqida ‘l-Wahbiyya” by Nasir ibn Salim ibn ‘Udayyam al-Rawahi, a great poet also known as Abu Muslim, who wrote a poem in praise of the courage and faith of the thousands of Kharijite soldiers, including ibn Wahb, who met their death in the battle against ‘Ali at al-Nahrawan.
            • He was killed at the battle of al-Nahrawan by Ali on 9 Shafar, 38 AH / 17 July, 658 CE.
            • Not all Khawarijis followed ‘Abdallah ibn Wahb at Nahrawan.
          • History of Khawarijis
            • The Khawarijis were divided into militants (Shurat) and quietists (Qa’ada).
            • Someone assassinated ‘Ali, and Mu’awiya, and members of his clan, Banu Umayya formed the Umayyad Khilafat, with its capital at Damascus, who ruled until they were overthrown by the ‘Abbasids who made Bhagdad their capital and ruled from 132 AH / 750 CE to 656 AH / 1258 CE when the Mongol conquest happened.
            • Abu Bilal Mirdas ibn Udayya al-Tamimi was a a quietist Kharijite leader from Basra in southern Iraq.
            • He was the brother of one of the instigators of the Kharijite secession and a veteran of the massacre at Nahrawan, who disagreed with the violent tactics of the Khawarij, which included acceptance of the principle of Isti’rad (Religious Assassination).
            • Thus, Basra became a center of moderate Kharijism.
            • Abu Bilal was seen as a precursor of Ibadiyya.
          • Split of the Ibadis
            • After the death of second Umayyad Khalifa Yazid I, son of Mu’awiya in 64 AH / 683 CE, violent Khawarij rebellions formed.
            • The followers of Nafi’ ibn al-Azraq, or the Azariqa attacked Basra, and the Omani Azd tribe of Basra attacked them and killed Nafi
            • Later, the Ummayad Khalifa ‘Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan was able to take control over all provinces of the Islamic empire.
            • The most prominent quietist position was held by ‘Abdallah ibn Ibad, of whom very little is known.
            • It’s based on his name that the Azariqas were contrasted with, as Ibadis.
          • “Abu ‘l-Sha’tha’” Jabir ibn Zayd, an associate of Mohammed’s cousin ‘Abdallah ibn al-‘Abbas is seen as the true organizer of the Ibadis, and the successor of ‘Abdallah ibn Ibad.
          • Jabir had positive relations with Ummayad governor of Iraq, al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf, who supported moderate Khawirijis as a bulwark against the growth of Kharijite extremism.
          • When ‘Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan died in 86 AH/705 CE and was succeeded by the pious ‘Umbar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz, many moderate Khawarij hoped for the realizations of a righteous Islamic imamate.
          • But many new quietist leaders wanted to take a more activist stance towards Jihaad.
          • Jabir himself felt compelled to take action, and instigated the assassination of one of al-Hajjaj’s spies.
          • This led to a complete rupture in the relatively friendly relations the moderate Khawarij had enjoyed with the Umayyad regime.
          • Al-Hajjaj imprisoned many of them, and exiled many others to Oman.
          • Abu ‘Ubayda Muslim ibn Abi Karima al-Tamimi was a student of Jabir ibn Zayd, who was among those who were imprisoned.
          • Abu ‘Ubayda is seen as the second Ibadi Imam.
          • The first Ibadi political imamate was established in Hadramawt in 128 AH / 745 CE.
            • Some History -
          • The Rustamid imamate was overthrown by Shi’ite Fatimids in 296 AH / 909 CE.
          • The fall of Rustamid and Omani imamates at the end of the 3rd (AH) / 9th (CE) centuries led to the development of the doctrines of Taqiyya (religious dissimulation) and Kitman (living in secret dissension from the ruling authorities)
          • In North Africa, the ‘Azzaba councils developed to replace the Imamate.
          • Just as the decline in power of the ‘Abbasid Khilafat led to Sunnis developing their jurisprudence, Ibadi scholars also wrote down the Ibadi doctrine and jurisprudence during this period (late 3rd (AH) / 9th (CE) century).
          • Then the rest is the history of Oman
        • Beliefs
          • According to Algerian scholar Muhammad ibn Yusuf Atfayyish, the termtodo I guess there are sects (denomications) based on historical events, and sects have both Aqidah and Madhhabs.

Philosophizing

  • The claim that Islam made people release slaves
    • The idea is that slaves could be released, as one of the ways to erase sins
    • Suppose I could buy games for currency
    • Will I be inclined to spend currency for games, or to hoard currency?

Saheeh Bukhari 9:89:296 states “The Prophet (ﷺ) came to know that one of his companions had given the promise of freeing his slave after his death, but as he had no other property than that slave, the Prophet (ﷺ) sold that slave for 800 dirhams and sent the price to him.”

Killing people: Like-wise, the famous Hanafi scholar al-Kashani said, “The principle is that it is permissible to kill anyone from amongst the people who are at war (with the Muslims), whether they fight or do not fight.

The problem with taking a religion (“no contradictions”): Say I sharpen a pencil. I can put the waste in my box (in a waste section), or walk up to the dustbin. Is there a contradiction in any of these actions? No. But someone can put it on the floor. It could be argued that it is harmful for the environment or the workers. But the person could say that they don’t care about workers or the environment. Now, to change his mind is a very difficult task. Although there are no contradictions in this situation, there are contradictions when you consider the larger picture.

What I mean when I say Islam is harmful: When I say that I know that Islam is harmful, even more than Muslims, I say it in a similar manner as I know that Alcohol is harmful even without drinking alcohol myself. Of course, moderate alcoholics do not pose a problem, but I can still know that if someone gets them to try something stronger, and being alcoholics, they are less likely to

  • Who all can be captives?

    • Claim: Only females who fight can be captured
    • Claim: Only men who fight can be killed.

  • What happens when you fight

    • People of the Book can pay Jizya
    • Others will have to be fought till they convert
      • Hanafi School: Jizya can be taken from everyone except Arab polytheists and apostates
      • Maliki School: Jizya can be taken from everyone except apostates
      • Shafi’i and Hanbali Schools: Jizya can be taken from Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians (Ahl al-Kitab)

  • 9:29 (Take Jizya only from those who were given the Scripture)

This guy quotes Mughal Emperor Aurangazeb’s fatwa for Jizya (to not take it from Hindus): (https://www.reddit.com/r/islam/comments/2e5utf/comment/kqi8g8i/)

He also says that Fitrah is innate to all humans, and it is only later in life that they are indoctrinated to Christianity and Atheism. And he complains that the rules of Jizya are perfect even to those who are denied it, unlike the western world which lets everyone live, because it is according to the whims of man, while Islam is the unwavering absolute truth as commanded by God.

Comparison of Jews and Mohammedans

What the Jews didWhat Mohammed did
Came from Europe to settle in old Israel, now in OttomanCame from a cave to Mecca, Arabia with a “revelation”
Arabs attacked them, but they remained there. They were attacked everywhere, so there was no point in moving.Told others that their religions were false, so they attacked him, so he moved from Mecca to Medina
The UN declared a partition plan, but the Arabs rejected it. That is because the Arabs can never agree to peace.Established a treaty with them, but they didn’t follow it. Muslims claim that it is because polytheists have no honour.
They didn’t start a battle, but the Arabs fought them when they went with the partition plan. So they fought the battle, but they didn’t kill everyone. Instead, 20% of Israelis are Arabs. And they didn’t collect something like Jizya from them to humiliate them to let them live there.So they killed every single member of those tribes, “except those from The People of The Book (Ahl Al-Kitab)”, “who paid Jizya tax”, “in humiliation to Islam” (Surah 9, Ayah 5).
Status: GENOCIDAL IMMORAL WARStatus: NON-GENOCIDAL RIGHTEOUS WAR

  • They wage war because one of two people didn’t follow it, and everyone were punished for it. And it is doubtful whether all polytheists were killed, or if some were allowed to live under humiliation.

Saheeh al Bukhari 5134 Narrated Aisha:

that the Prophet () married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old. Hisham said: I have been informed that Aisha remained with the Prophet () for nine years (i.e. till his death).

Saheeh al Bukhari 6130 Narrated Aisha:

I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play with me. When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images is forbidden, but it was allowed for Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age of puberty.) (Fath-ul-Bari page 143, Vol.13)

      • He’d never lied, so much that others called him El-Amin (The Trustworthy). (Questionable)
      • Even his enemies trusted their belongings to him (Questionable).

      1. He only married after she died, after he was 51. Was it for lust then?

  • Same video or next? That No one in the past blamed Mohammed for marrying Aisha.

    • I think, next video, 4:00 and forward

  • Normal person’s viewpoint

      1. Mohammed was not a likable person, so that’s probably why he didn’t get women.
      1. He was 40 (15 years into marriage when he began to preach)
      1. His wife died 10 years later, aged 65 (Year of Sorrow)
      1. He moved to Medina after that, and he gained power
      1. That’s where he married 10 new wives
      1. Prophet had sex with slaves (beats the argument that he was not lustful)

  • I’m not trying to shame Mohammed, I’m just proving that it is just the way of a medieval tribe.

  • I do not find shame in pedophilia, I only find that it is wrong, as the child is not mature.

  • I do not believe in punishing those who do wrong, only correcting them.

    • They say, for menstrual blood, it had to be washed (Muslim: 291, Bukhari: 277)
      • So semen, unlike menstrual blood is pure.
    • Ibn al-Qayyim in “BadaĘži al-FawaĘžid”:
      • Excrement like Suptum, Mucus and Sweat are pure
      • Semen is pure because it’s unlike urine and faeces

Some Tafsirs are based on r’ai (opinion) and delve into “dangerous” areas like philosophy and exaggerations in trying to read between the lines, which causes some Mufassirun to abandon certain narrations. e.g. al-Razi’s Tafsir (it was said: “It contains anything but Tafsir”.

Prayer Mixed Speech

Stats: Paragraphs (I split into): 14

So Alhamdulillah, we’ve moved into a different set up, but I pray that Allah Subhanu Wa Ta’ala makes it more beneficial. It’s more conducive to, a classroom environment. It is better to have people packed in, and you know hopefully, Insha Allah Ta’ala, being regular in some of the classes that we have here. But obviously this is a very unique lecture that we have here tonight.

It’s it’s not one that’s in response to any sort of emergency. It’s actually one that compliments- is meant to compliment the collection that we just released which has been in the works for months (Alhamdulilla Rabbil Aalameen) on the age of Aisha Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha and the name of the collection was “More Than Just A Number”.

And the idea was to make sure that we don’t only contextualize the age of Aisha Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha in broader context, using an interdisciplinary approach as did Asadullah along with Dr. Brown, or looking at you know, what the definition of a child has been and is today and will be in the future, but instead to actually reclaim the entire narrative about Aisha Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha.

And I’ve told this story in the past before, about you know an incident that I had with a woman at University of Florida who could not come to terms or grapple with this particular issue of the age of Aisha Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha. But Allah Subhanu Wa Ta’ala blessed her through knowing the person of Aisha Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha and had to actually come to Islam through that knowledge of Aisha as a person and actually to name her daughter Aisha once she gave birth to Aisha.

Because one thing if you just pay very close attention to if you attend Jamar Al Tubaz(?), if you attend Islamic lectures, the amount of mentions that Aisha Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha gets is more than any woman in the lifetime of the Prophet Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam, and as much as any man in the lifetime of the Prophet Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam.

In fact the last lecture that I gave here, I ended off with a story about Aisha Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha. Because through Aisha we know the Prophet Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam. Through Aisha we know our religion. Through Aisha Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha we developed not just a greater appreciation of love for the Prophet Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam but we actually develop a greater love and appreciation for her, and she is our mother.

So I want you to first and foremost understand that we’re talking about your mom, my mom. She is as beloved to us as our own biological mothers would be. And she is our mother because Allah Subhanu Wa Ta’ala gave her that distinction when he gave that distinction to the wives of the messenger Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam. And she is our mother, and that she is the access, that had we not had, we would not know our religion in the way that we know our religion today.

Can you imagine how much we’d be deprived from were not for Aisha Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha and the wisdom of Allah Subhanu Wa Ta’ala in placing a woman like each Aisha Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha in the life of the Prophet Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam, and by extension in our lives through her example, and through her entrance into the example of the Prophet Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam.

So where does the debate about the age of Aisha Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha come into and it’s very interesting, because the Prophet Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam came sometime fourteen hundred and fifty years ago. All right, so we’re talking, you know centuries ago. And over the years there have been different attacks on the Prophet Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam, and obviously there is an agenda behind the attacks on the Prophet Peace Be Upon Him, starting from the time that he lived Himself Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam.

And, as you go through, generation after generation, you see the evolution of those attacks on the person and the character of the Prophet Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam. This particular topic, which is a favorite talking point of Islamophobes today, was not just a minor point or a footnote in the talking points of Islamophobes over thirteen centuries. It was completely non-existent, meaning you cannot find in the hundreds and hundreds of books of attacks on the Prophet Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam’s character from Quraysh to the Orientalists, to the to the early European writers on the character of the Prophet Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam, you cannot find a single attack on this particular facet of the Prophet Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam’s life. Not one person takes objection to it.

In fact it is not even an item for discussion within the Islamic tradition itself. There are no lengthy discourses about the age of Aisha Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha that exists from an Imam al-Ghazali or Sheikh ul-Islam ibn Taymiyya (a Hanbali scholar). So both the defense, as well as the discourse, not necessarily in the context of a defense, both of those are contemporary issues that have been brought up. So when we say not only was this not an issue in the time of the Prophet Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam, in the 7th century, where Quraysh employed every attack they possibly could on the character and the person of the Prophet Peace Be Upon Him, it was not an issue until the 21st century.

Yet somehow it’s become the favorite talking point to try to portray the Prophet Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam in a certain way. And there are numerous ways that we could approach the issue. You could approach it and say well look at marriages in the past right. And you could say you could point to how unfair the uniqueness of the critique of the Prophet Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam is in this regard. Because if you took from Christian tradition or Jewish tradition or completely secular tradition, you will find people that were married with much larger age gaps than that of the Prophet Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam and Aisha Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha, including for example those that that believe that Mariam Alayhi Al-Salaam, that Mary was married to Joseph, and the age gap being almost twice as much as the age gap between the Prophet Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam and Aisha Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha, with Maria Alayhi Al-Salaam that I’m being in her teens and Joseph being in his 80s, but that not being a discussion, not being an issue to be brought up.

And I remember you know it was interesting to me as I was looking when I first started studying the biographies of people and the time of the Prophet Salallahu Alayihi Wasallam as a whole, and I’ll never forget something that actually happened with me and it wasn’t in the context of an attack or a discourse. I was just reading in the Tabaqat and the Isaba about Abd Allah Ibn Amir ibn Al Aas, May Allah Be Pleased With Him And His Father. And it listed Amir ibn Al Aas, and the mother of Abd Allah ibn Amir ibn Al Aas as 12 and 10 when Abd Allah was born. And I went hmm, that must be a typo. Then I realized it wasn’t, because I started cross-checking all the sources- like wait, they had twelve-year-old parents back then? Could you imagine, a twelve-year-old walking around with a child, right? A 12 year old man and a 10 year old woman walking around in the (?)? And you’d be like, wait what is this?

That’s because human beings looked so decidedly different 1,400 years ago than they do today, right. And Subhan Allah you finding Imam Al-Shafi’i Rahim Allah talking about, you know a 50 year old grandmother with a 13 year old grandson, and you’re just like what’s going on here? How is this all evolving? And cases of law that took place at the time and..

    • And no, Aisha is not the smartest woman to ever live.

Thought: About Religious People

  • Those who want religion are those who are bad

    • They do bad things, and the guilt weighs upon them
    • They seek forgiveness, and they find it from God
    • They again blame the victims again, for not being religious

  • Religious people are dumb

  • But they also want power

  • And power hungry idiots refuse to reason

  • So they think, if God is GOD, why should he conform to your reasons?

  • They do not think that a creator would be as dumb as them

  • So certainly, the God of their religion is created from their own image, of stupidity

  • An example they use is, you should not question your parents

  • But, question can imply different things

  • It is recognized that a parent is the legal caretaker of the child

  • But when given an order, asking the question “WHY” can mean two things

  • In one sense, a reply would be “because I said so”. This is assuming the why is a rebellious question.

  • By assuming the question is rebellious when it really isn’t, the parent pressures the child later on to be rebellious.

  • In another sense, a reply would be, because I want you be like this, and I believe doing so will go against that goal, and therefore, I’m telling you this.

  • The difference is that, to this answer, one can further ask whys towards a specific detail of the decision, share ideas and come to a more peaceful understanding.

Hadiths 2

  • Ruling Regarding Hermaphrodites (Chapter 53 of Book of Etiquettes)

      • Do not kill the effeminate man who died his hands and feet with henna, but prayed. Instead expel him. (Da’eef)
      • Expel them from homes
    • Verdict:
      • The hadith on not killing effeminate men is weak
      • But that on expulsion of hermaphrodites, effeminate men and tomboys are Saheeh.
      • So effeminate men are not safe.
      • Hermaphrodites are said to be cursed.
      • All of them are to be expelled.
      • Tomboy can mean any woman who questions authority, or works jobs.

  • Chapter 54 of Book of Etiquettes is about Aisha playing with dolls (which are forbidden for adults)

  • Chapter 55 is about Aisha called for consummation of marriage, while playing with swings

  • Playing with pigeons is Satanic

    • What we see: Bunch of crazy followers of Mohammed
    • What are Mu’tazillas, and why do Sunnis reject them?:
      • Orthodox Sunnis believe the Quran is the uncreated word of Allah and is co-eternal with Allah.
      • Mu’tazillas believe that since Quran is the word of Allah, it was created later by Allah.
    • What we see: Their own political or theological disagreements keep them divided, and their insistence on theocracy makes it a problem for all others, while each of them say that “the problem is not us, but them”.
      • They think if you really knew Allah, you wouldn’t have a complaint with their version of Islam.
      • They do not think that human lives have intrinsic value, and they believe that when they die, the true believers will go to Allah, so death is not that big of a deal for them compared to their faith.
      • In essence, they are a death cult, and they expect the others to share the same perspectives.

  • Analogy: consider a cult that sacrifices children

    • We only have a problem with child sacrifice

      • The type of people
      • The types of texts
    • Start with logical fallacies
    • Then demonstrate evils

  • Extras

    • Point out we hate Islam (the idea), not Muslims (the humans)
    • Point out that when we talk about Mohammed’s marriage with Aisha, we do not want to shame him, we just want to point out it was a medieval practice, not ideal for today’s world. There is no element of shame, but rather, it is a practice that has bad consequences.

      • If you’re working for your plans, you will have to spend effort from your side.
      • After all, money is just “Proof of Work”. Proof, for what?
      • If people were doing their own part for the community, currency would be unnecessary.
      • Of course, it is necessary assuming some people are lazy.
      • But the truth is, what seems lazy to some people is not always the same thing.
      • Artists may seem lazy to other people, but in reality, their minds are just less cloudy.
      • And the society needs both artists and developers.
      • Also, it is forgotten that with automation, many forms of work will be replaced.
      • But with religion, one is not motivated to think in this manner, as you will be rewarded in paradise.
      • As for non-religious people, their reward is the fruit of their labour, how they shape the world.
      • Of course, one may be cheated upon. But much of that is part of God’s tests.
        • Surely, you did not suffer as much as many others who you see suffering.
        • And many a times, the people who virtue signal cry more than the people they say are suffering.
        • Many people have suffered in life, but virtue signalers don’t think that they’ve gone through that too.
        • They press people to give up their comforts, without giving them a reason to do so.
        • Everyone really wants to live in a world of adventure, not live minimally.
        • But the virtue signalers take on the world’s suffering and discard their humanity.
        • In discarding their humanity, and being machine like, they become unrelatable to other humans.
        • So everyone hates them, because they think they’ve become dull by pretending to be morally superior.
      • My point is that, if you make the world a better place, paradise is in of itself.
        • But of course, religious people have come up with various explanations to hate the “world”
          • Example: “Satan controls the world”, “The world is a test”
          • The primary reason for this is, they needed some way to explain away unreasonable sorrows
          • They can’t trust how God would want to test us if there was no heaven afterwards
          • And they can’t trust the atheist explanation of “it is like that” (even I agree with that)

  • Ithna ‘Asharis (Twelvers) / Rafidis (Rejectors, of the caliphs) / Imamis

    • The term Rafidis used for Shias in general, although only Twelvers are the ones who denied the caliphs
    • Sunnis say they use Taqiyya to outwards pretend as Muslims, while inwardly being something else (lol)
    • Sunnis say, because they called the Sahabah kafirs, they imply that the Quran is altered, and hence, curse it
    • So Shias are seen as a greater threat to Islam than anyone else.

  • Mohammed was white

  • Thighing

Speech Analysis

  • How Quran influences Muslim attitudes

    • They are misguided by Satan
    • Disbelievers are all clearly hypocrites

  • Islam is the most logical religion

    • You think you invented Tawhid?
    • Monotheism is known to everyone (except Greeks, etc - but even Aristotle knew it.)
    • Also, just because you say one true / potentially true thing, that doesn’t make everything else true.
    • I could say you should put your soap in your cupboard.
      • It is reasonable. No logical flaws in it.
      • But does that mean those who leave it in the bathroom are wrong? No
      • This is the stupidity of the Muslims

Falsities Muslims Say

  • That we need to worship God
  • Meaning of words like die
