The Innocent Prophet - English Version the LIFE of MUHAMMAD from a DIFFERENT POINT of VIEW The Innocent Prophet - English Version THE LIFE OF MUHAMMAD FROM A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW Published on Dec 15, 2012 BY TERRY JONES www.standupamericanow.org WARNING NOT RECOMMENDABLE: MINORS OF AGE PEOPLE WHO DON’T BELIEVE IN FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION RELIGIOUS FANATICS BASED ON: QURAN HADITHS ISLAMIC HISTORICAL BOOKS Islam, the second biggest religion on Earth—Muslims say that Islam is a peaceful and tolerant religion; but the evidence speaks to the contrary, that Islam is a violent, full of hatred, and intolerant religion. Which is the real face of Islam? What is, actually, Islam? It is an accurate and historical portrayal of the prophet Muhammad. The facts in the movie are taken from the Quran, the Hadiths, and Islamic history. It will answer the question, was Muhammad an inspired prophet of God who gave us a new revelation, a new religion, or was he a madman? Was he a perverted madman driven by his own demons, thus producing a religion of violence and tyranny? I believe that as you watch the film, these two very important questions will be answered. Is Islam a religion of peace, or is Islam a religion of violence and oppression? Thank you. The Innocent Prophet THE LIFE OF MUHAMMAD FROM A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW Chapter 1 THE SITUATION OF THE ARAB WORLD It was the year 570 in the urban city of Mecca during the time of Christianity and Judaism. The Arab world was going well without many conflicts. There were Bedouins, nomad pastors, organized by tribes. There were also farmers who lived in the north, or (in the airiest, more fertile and dense in the south. During this time, the majority of the people followed polytheist religions, although a few of the tribes followed Judaism, Christianity, or Zoroastrianism. The city of Mecca was a religious center for some of the northern Arab polytheists, since it already had the second Well of Zamzam, and a small temple, the Kaaba. Chapter 2 MUHAMMED’S CHILDHOOD AND YOUTH On the 12th of Rabi (Rabi al-Awwal), that is to say, on the 29th of April a child was born. Muhammad. In the family of Aminah, the leader of Abdullah. She was a poor woman without any type of economic means or fixed income. Abdullah died shortly before the birth of Muhammad. Aminah, for being very poor, sought help, and found refuge with Abdul-Muttalib, the grandfather of Muhammad, who was a generous man, although he had gone through some economic difficulties too. This situation was very difficult for the mother and her son. Aminah couldn’t feed her son, except for just a few weeks, and had to look for a Bedouin wet nurse, by the name of Halimah bint Abi Dhuayb who was very poor and lived in the valley of Bani Saad (near Taif) (??). Halimah took care of, and loved Muhammad. She nursed him, tried to give him good food, and played with the poor child, who had lost his father, and was separated from his mother. She tried to keep him happy everyway that she could, but because she was poor, she couldn’t give him everything what [that] he wanted. When he turned 5 years old, Aminah, the mother of Muhammad, came back, longing for him. Halimah, although sad, understood the feelings of Aminah, and gave the child back to his mother. A short time later, Aminah got sick and died, leaving Muhammad an orphan at 6 years of age. His grandfather, Abdul-Muttalib, stayed with him, but when Muhammad turned 8 years old, his grandfather also died, once again leaving him all alone. His uncle, Abu Talib, took him in to live with him. He was also very poor, and had a very large family. Muhammad, in order to help sustain the family, had to work as a shephard, a clerk in the store, collector, and helping caravans. Islam still didn’t exist, and it was like a time for Christianity, Judaism, and Hinduism. The family of Muhammad followed a religion that wasn’t any of the ones mentioned previously; it was a polytheistic religion. They worshipped several gods, like the god of water, the god of the sun, or, the god of fire. Which is to say, Muhammad followed the religion that was given to him by his family, but in any case, it was not Islam, because Islam didn’t yet exist. Normally, at 8 years of age, most children are having fun playing, and don’t even have to worry about problems or difficulties of any kind. However, Muhammad, as a poor child, had to work hard and face many difficulties. Growing up in this kind of situation brought him great sadness, feelings of loneliness, and lack of self-esteem. When he used to see other children of his age, he felt very sorry and longed for his parents. He thought and wished that he too could have a father who would play with him, take him for a walk, and buy him toys. Oh, how he wished he had a mother to love him, care for him, give him hugs and kisses, and to take care of him when he was sick, to feed him, and cry for him when he’s hurt. The poor child would just go to the corner to cry because there wasn’t anyone to whom he could express his feelings. It is doubtful that anyone can take care about [of], love, or understand us like our own parents. Although he lived with his uncle, he didn’t have many freedoms, and was constantly mistreated. His aunt treated him very badly. She frequently hit him, and when it came time to eat, she treated him in a very derogatory manner saying, "Besides the fact that I have such a big family, I also have to feed this trash?" Muhammad listened in silence, and endured everything without understanding why he was to blame, why he had to face such a cruel situation. In his heart, all (?? A cannon of vengeance.,) of vengence, anger and resentment began to erupt toward the situation against the world, and especially against women because of the abuse he had received from his aunt. This situation, in the majority of cases, causes a child to be distracted and have low self-esteem. Muhammad realized that he was an orphan without a future, and the world revolved around money and power. But, for the moment, he had no other option, but to continue living with his uncle’s family. No one is born a criminal, neither does anyone want to live like one. Delinquency, in the majority of the cases, is a consequence filled with a life of difficulties and deficiencies. This poor child was raised in this situation, little by little, causing him to think like a criminal. At 20 years old he left his uncle’s family, since he had already made many friends. So, he left to live life on his own. He felt prepared to begin his new life, and to become successful as he had many times brewed. He always said to his friends, "One day I’ll be king, and I’ll rule the whole world. Everyone will respect me, whether because they love me, or because they fear me. It really doesn’t matter." Besides the fact that he doesn’t have a single penny in his pocket, his anger kept him full of energy, and pushed him with an unstoppable force. He didn’t want to continue his life as just a worker. He wanted to be rich and powerful. But, how? What do you have to do to be rich and powerful? Muhammad didn’t have any money to invest into a business, nor family that could support him financially so that he could bear his standard of living. The dream of becoming rich and powerful without any money in his pocket, and without a roof over his head, it was almost impossible for it to become true. After sometime passed, Muhammad found a group of young people who were almost in the same situation like him. They accepted him as their leader and administrator. They began to plan ways to become successful. Muhammad’s strategy was very clear: success, power, and money, at whatever price, and it didn’t matter what had to be done to obtain this objective. They studied and investigated all of the options. They realized that Jews and Christians who were very rich and powerful in politics, religion, and society could rule the world. They should be robbed, attacked, and taken over their money. Having money in your pocket, power would come by itself. But how to do that? To go into their houses and rob them wouldn’t be easy, because there were many of them, and they would respond in the same violent way. So he decided to rob them when he could catch them alone in the street, the desert, or their stores, covering their faces with a veil (the robbers). In the next 5 years, Muhammad’s group became very violent, attacking and robbing Jews and Christians by assault(ing) them, beat(ing) them, and if they resisted, they would even kill them. Words like sympathy, love, and friendship didn’t exist in the dictionary of Muhammad’s life. For him, everything was a question of how he could obtain it all. They would get them in the pathways and in the streets of the towns, except for in Mecca, where they didn’t usually act. Everything was a question of having some to spout out over the movements of Christians and Jews, and waiting for the rest to act.

  • The Struggle Against Musaylima and the Conquest of Yamama
    THE STRUGGLE AGAINST MUSAYLIMA AND THE CONQUEST OF YAMAMA M. J. Kister The Hebrew University of Jerusalem The study of the life of Musaylima, the "false prophet," his relations with the Prophet Muhammad and his efforts to gain Muhammad's ap- proval for his prophetic mission are dealt with extensively in the Islamic sources. We find numerous reports about Musaylima in the Qur'anic commentaries, in the literature of hadith, in the books of adab and in the historiography of Islam. In these sources we find not only material about Musaylima's life and activities; we are also able to gain insight into the the Prophet's attitude toward Musaylima and into his tactics in the struggle against him. Furthermore, we can glean from this mate- rial information about Muhammad's efforts to spread Islam in territories adjacent to Medina and to establish Muslim communities in the eastern regions of the Arabian peninsula. It was the Prophet's policy to allow people from the various regions of the peninsula to enter Medina. Thus, the people of Yamama who were exposed to the speeches of Musaylima, could also become acquainted with the teachings of Muhammad and were given the opportunity to study the Qur'an. The missionary efforts of the Prophet and of his com- panions were often crowned with success: many inhabitants of Yamama embraced Islam, returned to their homeland and engaged in spreading Is- lam. Furthermore, the Prophet thoughtfully sent emissaries to the small Muslim communities in Yamama in order to teach the new believers the principles of Islam, to strengthen their ties with Medina and to collect the zakat.

    MUHAMMAD WIVES Khadijah bint Khuwaylid Edit Main article: Khadijah bint Khuwaylid In Makkah — prior to Hijra — Muhammad lived with his wife Khadijah bint Khuwailid. He was twenty-five and she was forty when they got married. She was the first woman he married and his only wife until she died. None of their sons lived long. Their daughters were Zainab, Ruqaiya, Umm Kulthum and Fatimah. Khadija's own generosity and moral support for Muhammad in his early stage as Prophet of Islam were invaluable to him. Aisha bint Abu Bakr Edit Main article: Aisha Template:NPOV Aisha was the daughter of Abu Bakr, a close friend and confidant of Muhammad, and controversial figure in the differing depictions in Shia and Sunnihistorical narratives. Muhammad married Aisha before the Hijra, however Muslim scholars differ on whether Muhammad married Sawda or Aisha first. Muhammad married Sawda one month after the death of his first wife Khadija upon suggestion of one of his companions. Regardless, Muhammad did not consummate his marriage with Aisha until she reached the age of nine, and lived with Sawda during that time.[1] , and the subject of increasing attention in recent years because critics of Muhammad who accept the majority tradition that she was as young as nine years old when her marriage was consummated believe this. There are several hadiths (said to have been written by Aisha herself) which state she was six or seven years old when betrothed and nine years old when married or when the marriage was consummated. Despite that, given the variations of Ayesha's exact age being reported in different ahadith - some saying Aisha was in her mid-teens or even older when the actual marriage took place - a lot of Islamic academics have said that only using the Hadith and comparing practices of 7th Century Arabia - where child marriages were a common tradition not just in Arabia but India, China, and Europe as well - to the modern is taking the issue out of context.

  • Marriage to Umm Habiba Tension in Mecca Had Reached Its Peak
    limited the number of women a man could marry - the customary practice in pre-Islamic Arabia - and encouraged monogamy, allowed for God’s Messenger to marry several women in order for him to reach all his addressees in their entirety within as short a time as twenty-three years. The Messenger of God made use of this means in loosening such closely knit ties at a time when all the doors on which he knocked were slammed shut in his face. Moreover, it is not possible to suppose that the marriages of God’s Messenger, who stated, “God has assuredly willed that I marry only those who are of Paradise,”339 and who took his each and every step in line with the Divine injunctions, could be realized except by God's permission. Within this context, he states: “Each of my marriages and those of my daughters was conducted as a result of Divine permission conveyed to me through Gabriel.”340 In this way was he able to come together, on the basis of kinship, with those people who were not capable of being approached, and it was in these assemblies that the hearts of those who were consumed with hatred and enmity were softened. The marriages of God’s Messenger functioned as a bridge in his communication with them, and served to relax the atmosphere as well as legitimize his steps in their regard. He extended hospitality towards them, invited them to his wedding feasts using his marriages as a means to come together, and sent them gifts, drawing attention to their affinity.
