ISLAM
The cardinal doctrines of Islam –Unity of God, Prayer, Zakaat/ Charity, Fasting and Hajj– are clearly expressed in the Qur’an and observed by Prophet Mohammad.
Who is God? Unity of Allah: Allah raised messengers among all nations and gave them acts of devotion–(Qur’an 22:34, 67), and one common message: “there is no God but Me, so serve Me”–(Qur’an 21:25).
That there is no God but He was taught by Moses: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, is one Lord;” “I am the Lord thy God….Thou shalt have none other gods before me”–(Deuteronomy 6:4; 5:6-7); and by Jesus: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord;” “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve”–(Mark 12:29; Matthew 4:10).
As Allāh gave all people messengers and acts of devotion, thus, God is known by a name according to the language of the people. Allāh is the name of God in the Arabic/Semitic language.: “I, Allāh, am the Seer;” “Surely I am Allāh, there is no God but I, so serve Me”–(Qur’an 14:1; 20:14).
The name “Allāh” dates back to “earliest Semitic writings” which appeared from “30th century BCE”. No wonder Christian-Arabs know no other God but “Allāh”. (If Allah is a pagan moon God as some Christians say, then, their Arab brothers and sisters are worshipping a pagan moon God). (For more on Allāh see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allah).
If Christians knew their Bible in the original Hebrew they would know that “Allāh is the same ancient Semitic name of the Supreme Being who revealed and spoke to Adam and all the prophets”–(Professor Abdul Ahad Dawud B.D. –the former Reverend David Benjamin Keldani, B.D., a Roman Catholic priest of the Uniate-Chaldean sect– Muhammad in the Bible, pp. 12-13).
The Islamic concept of God is stated in the following two places: “He is the First and the Last and the Manifest/Evident and the Hidden/Immanent, and He is the Knower of all things”–(Qur’an 57:3). Prophet Mohammad explained these four attributes of Allah:
“Thou art the First, so that there was nothing before Thee, and Thou art the Last, so that there is nothing after Thee, and Thou art the Manifest, or the Ascendant over all, so that there is nothing above Thee, and Thou art the Hidden, the Knower of the hidden things, so that there is nothing hidden from Thee” (Sahih Muslim 48:13)” comm. Muhammad Ali.
And in Qur’an 112:1-4: “He, Allāh, is One. Allāh, the Eternal; Absolute; He begets not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like Him”–(Qur’an 112:1-4).
–Allāh is One, i.e. He is not One in a Trinity or One in a Duality or One in polytheism. Allah is One in attributes –mercy, beneficence, forgiveness etc. There is none with attributes as Allah.
–Allāh is Eternal, Absolute, i.e. He is Ever-living. There is none before Him, there is none after Him.
–Allāh begets not, i.e. being One and Only, the First and Creator of all and thus could not have a consort, He begets not. Woman cannot be mother of God and God cannot be son of woman. God could not have a son because He has no consort. Fatherhood requires intimate contact with a female (the union of sperm and ovum). That ‘God can do anything’ is no argument; this is not about God creating an object, it is about God having a parental relationship -God does not have a womb and birth canal to conceive and give birth.
-Allāh is not begotten, i.e. Being the First and Creator of all and thus having no mother and father, He is not begotten/born.
-There is none like Allāh i.e. being First and Last, the Manifest and Hidden; the Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent and one in attributes; Allāh has no equal. (Belief in Allah incorporates belief in all His Angels, all His revealed Books, all His messengers, in the Resurrection and Judgment, and in Hell and Heaven/Paradise).
Allah has 99 names and the one crowning name Allāh giving Allāh 100 names–(Bokhari Vol. 9, #489; Muslim Vol. 4, #6475). These 99 names are intrinsic in the name Allāh and incorporates the belief: “Allāh is One and Only; the Eternal, Absolute; He begets not; nor is He Begotten; and there is none like unto Him;” is Self-subsisting, tires not nor sleeps (Qur’an 2:255), as well as incorporates belief in all His Angels, Books, Messengers, Resurrection, Judgment, Heaven and Hell.
While Idolaters and Christian-Arabs refer to God as Allāh their concept of Allāh is not as Islam’s. Prophet Mohammad was correct in saying he does not worship what they worship and vice-versa–Ref. Qur’an ch.109. There is no evidence the Prophet worshipped idols before he was made Prophet.
As noted, Allāh gave all people messengers and acts of devotion. Thus, God is known by a name according to the language of the people.
In the Bible, God says His names are “I AM” and “JEALOUS”: “God said unto Moses I AM THAT I AM…” “for the Lord, whose name is Jealous”–(Exo-dus 3:14; 34:14).
JEHOVAH is not a Scriptural name of God. “Jehovah” was coined by adding vowels to the four consonants, YHWH, the Jewish contraction for God, which could not give “J”ehovah.
“Jehovah (/dʒɪˈhoʊvə/) is a Latinization of the Hebrew יְהֹוָה Yəhōwā, one vocalization of the Tetragrammaton יהוה (YHWH), the proper name of the God of Israel in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament,….The derived forms Iehouah and Jehovah first appeared in the 16th century. The vocalization of the Tetragrammaton Jehovah was first intro-duced by William Tyndale in his translation of Exodus 6:3.…Jehovah does not appear in most mainstream English translations, some of which use Yahweh.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah#:~: text=The%20derived%20forms%20Iehouah%20and,and%20the%20King%20James%20Version).
God is to be addressed by His revealed names. In calling to Jehovah one is calling to a God that does not exist. Jesus cried out to “ELI”–(Matthew 27:46).
Salaah/Prayer: “And keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate (zakaat)”–(Qur’an 2:43, 110, 177; 11:114; 17:78; 20:130; 30:17-18).
The five daily prayers have been enjoined at fixed times by Allāh: “Prayer indeed has been enjoined on the believers at fixed times–(Qur’an 4:103; and 11:114; 17:78; 20:130; 30:17-18). These timings and format of prayer –standing, ruku/bowing, sujood/ prostration etc;– were set by Allah and shown to Prophet Mohammad by the Angel Gabriel–(Bokhari Vol. 1, # 500; Vol. 4, #444; Muslim Vol. 1, #’s 1268-1269).
Regimentation helps cultivate discipline and build character. Prayers are for our moral and spiritual elevation: “Surely prayer keeps (one) away from indecency and evil; and certainly the remembrance of Allah is the greatest (force)”–(Qur’an 29:45). In our prayers Muslims have exercise, meditation, and spirituality.
Allāh says those who bow down (make ruku) and prostrate (make sujood) will receive a mighty reward–(Qur’an 9:111-112); and for us to “keep up salāh for My remembrance”–(Qur’an 20:14).
Apart from salāh being the greatest force and that it is a prescription to help us avoid shameful deeds (in that we are to practice what we pray)–(Qur’an 29:45), Salah is the demonstration of the Holy Kalimah –there is no God but Allāh, Mohammad is the Messenger of Allāh.
Salah reminds and cultivates us in practical shape five times a day that Allāh is the only presence worthy of worship that:
–He is One and Only; the Eternal, Absolute, on Whom all depend; having no consort He begets not; being the First and Creator of all and thus could not have a mother He is not begotten; being one with Divine attributes there is none like Him; being Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent He has no need to and does not Incarnate; and that He is the Creator, Nourisher and Sustainer and Vanquisher of all things– and that Mohammad is only the Messenger of Allāh (that Mohammad is not God or son of God or partner of God or Incarnate of God).
Offering Salah and in Arabic is of such significance that the Prophet admonished that whoever does not pray Sura Fatihah (the opening chapter of the Qur’an) did not pray: “Whoever does not recite Al-Fatiha in his prayer, his prayer is invalid”–(Bokhari Vol. 1 #723. Muslim Vol. 1, #’s 775-782).
Offering Salah in a non-Arabic language does not only render the salah invalid, but in offering salah in non-Arabic one is depriving himself/herself of the full benefits of his prayer as there are some Arabic words for which other languages do not convey the proper meaning (For details on Why pray in Arabic and are Muslims at the opposite poles facing the Ka’bah. See Arabic-Why pray in?)
Zakaat/Charity: “And keep up prayer and pay zakaat”–(Qur’an 2:110). The poor and the needy have a 2.5 percent right in the wealth of the rich–(Qur’an 9:60). Whoever does not give this amount is using money that does not belong to him/her.
Those who withold this zakaat may be likened to those who devor the property of orphans, and are feeding fire into their bellies as per Qur’an 4:10: “Those who swallow the property of the orphans unjustly, they swallow only fire into their bellies . And they will burn in blazing fire.”
Notably, the proper English word equivalent for Zakaat is Purity, not Charity. In giving this Zakaat -which money is illegal for him to withold/use for himslef- one is purifying his wealth.
Fasting: “O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may guard against evil”–(Qur’an 2: 183-185, 187).
Moses, Jesus and David fasted; Jews, Christians and Hindus fast (though Hindus do not have a set method of Fasting).
Muslims fast in Ramadan (the ninth month of the Muslim lunar calendar year which is about 29-30 days), from dawn to sunset, without food, drink, marital/intimate relations, smoking and taking substance(s) orally or intravenously. The benefits of Fasting are:
(a) Physiological: regenerates organs, eliminates toxins, purifies the blood, and improves health.
(b) Physical: makes us experience the hunger of the starving; conditions one to endure long periods without food, drink, and to control carnal passions.
(c) Moral: makes us more aware of God as one is more likely to be conscious of God when suffering or in distress. Also who voluntarily gives up things which are lawful will not (or should not) indulge in things unlawful such as eating pork, gambling, intoxicants, illicit relations.
(d) Spiritual: because of one’s constant remembrance of Allāh, it brings (or should bring) one closer to Allāh. And Allāh rewards the fasters.
Seemingly, in places where the day is longer than normal or where there is perpetual daylight, Fasting can be observed as a regular day (about 13-15 hours) and prayer times scheduled accordingly. Commenting on Qur’an 2:187 Muhammad Ali notes:
“An important question arises here regarding countries in which the days are sometimes very long, where it would be beyond the power of ordinary men to abstain from food from the breaking of the dawn to sunset. There is a report according to which the companions of the Prophet are related to have asked him about their prayers in a day which extended to a year or a month, and the Prophet is related to have answered that they should measure according to the measure of their days (Abu Dawud 36:13). From this it would follow that in countries where the days are too long the time of fasting may be measured in accordance with the length of an ordinary day, or where practicable postpone the fasts to shorter days of about normal length.”
Hajj: “Certainly the first house appointed for men is the one at Bakkah (same as Makkah), blessed and a guidance for the nations. In it are clear signs: (It is) the Place of Abraham; and whoever enters it is safe; and pilgrimage to the House is a duty which men owe to Allāh—whoever can find a way to it”–(Qur’an 3:96-97).
The animal-sacrifice is obligatory on who can afford and is healthy, or must fast in lieu of affordability–(Qur’an 2:196; 22:28, 30, 36-37. Bokhari Vol. 2, #71, 750; Vol. 3, #217). Hajj is the only Divinely instituted pilgrimage.
Prayer, Zakaat/Charity, Fasting, and Hajj are (the practical) demonstrations of the belief in the Unity of Allāh–(Qur’an 2:177). Prayer, Zakaat, Fasting, and Hajj are nutrients for the soul.
That Hajj is paganism (see Hajj/Pilgrimage to Makkah).
See also Abraham-which son to sacrifice?
Why did Allah/God create us/man? Allāh created us to serve Him–(Qur’an 51:56). We serve Allāh by observing His injunctions as detailed in His Qur’an. Allāh also created us to have mercy on us–(Qur’an 11:119). He has ordained mercy on Himself–(Qur’an 6:12, 54); His “mercy encompasses all things”–(Qur’-an 7:156); His angels pray for the forgiveness of man-kind–(Qur’an 42:5); He invites us to forgive us our sins–(Qur’an 14:10); and He implores us in loving, compassionate terms through Prophet Mohammad to convey to us: “Say: O My servants who have sinned against their souls, despair not of the mercy of Allāh, surely Allāh forgives all sins. Verily, He is Most Forgiving. Ever Merciful”–(Qur’an 39:53). Allāh does not need any satisfaction –human or animal sacrifice– in order to forgive sins.
Allah “created death and life that He might try who of us is best in deeds–(Qur’an 67:2).
To make us aware that He is the Creator of all things, the Vanquisher of all things, that man is created to serve Him, and that there is a Day of Judgment when we must answer for our wrong-doings, Allah raised messengers among all nations. These messengers were given acts of devotion–(Qur’an 22:34, 67), and one common message: “there is no God but Me, so serve Me”–(Qur’an 21:25). That there is no God but He was, as already noted, taught
-by Moses: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, is one Lord;” “I am the Lord thy God….Thou shalt have none other gods before me”–(Deuteronomy 6:4; 5:6-7);
-by Jesus: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord;” “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve”–(Mark 12:29; Matthew 4:10).
-And by Prophet Mohammad: There is no God but Allah -Laa elaaha -il-lAllaah!
How many religions did Allah/God reveal?: No prophet before Mohammad gave the name of a religion to follow or claimed to be the last prophet to come. This is so because Allāh’s Message to us was completed only through the Prophet Mohammad.
All other religions were named after a person, place or other, e.g. Judaism after Judah; Buddhism after Buddha; Christianity after Christ; Bahai after Baha’ullah, Sikhism from the Sanskrit word Sisya, (disciple) and Hinduism after the Indus valley or Indus river (though the proper name is said to be Sanatana Dharma –Ancient Law or Eternal Law).
Moses and Jesus foretold the coming of a Teacher whom all is to follow: Moses taught that God will send another prophet like him–(Deuteronomy 18:15, 18) and Jesus spoke of another Comforter who will guide into “all truth” and will “abide for ever”–(John 14:16; 16:13).
The Arabs were the last people to receive Divine guidance. Mohammad’s mission was two-fold: to be Messenger to the Arabs and to unite all mankind under one Divine Law –the Qur’an: “This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favour to you and chosen for you Islam as a religion”–(Qur’an 5:3).
All Revelations before the Qur’an is a way of life for that period of time and for that people to whom it was given. The Qur’an is the Book of “all truth” spoken of by Jesus; it contains all that are needed for our moral, social, material and spiritual upliftment –it consists of teachings of past prophets that are applicable to all time and contains teachings not met with in past Scriptures:
“Nothing have We omitted from the Book (Qur’an)” “explaining all things” “A Messenger from Allāh, reciting pure pages, Wherein are (all) right books”–(Qur’an 61:6; 6:38; 12:111; 16:89; 5:48; 98:2-3).
The Qur’an consists of, exceeds, and supersedes all other Scriptures. The Comforter/Mohammad “abide(s) for ever” in that the Qur’anic Message is to Judgment Day.
Islam did not originate in the Seventh century with Prophet Mohammad; Islam dates back to the beginning of Creation.
As all Prophets were sent by the same One God, the religion from God could not be partial to any person, place or thing. The name of His religion should reflect our service to Him. Such is the religion of Islam –peace and submission to the Will of Allah/God.
The first human beings submitted to this law of Allāh –Islam. Only this submission to Allāh was not yet known as Islam. The following makes this clear: “Then He (Allāh) directed Himself to the heaven and it was a vapour, so He said to it and to the Earth: Come both, willingly or unwillingly. They both said: We come willingly”–(Qur’an 41:11. We come willingly or submit to your command –Islam).
Islam –submission to the law of Allāh– is as old as the heavens and the earth. All creations conform to the law of Allāh. Hinduism’s Ancient/Eternal Law is submission to Allāh–ISLAM!
Jesus declares he is MUSLIM (one who submits to God):
-“My meat is to do the will of Him (God) that sent me and to finish His work;”
-“I seek not my own will, but the will of the father…If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true;”
-“I came…not to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent me;”
-“My doctrine is not mine, but His that sent me;”
-“He (God) gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak”–(John 4:34; 5:30-31; 6:38; 7:16; 12:49. If Jesus was God or Son of God, the Christian’s God and Son of God is/was a MUSLIM).
Jesus taught ISLAM (submission/obedience to God):
-“The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat: all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do;”
-“if thou wilt enter into life, keep the Commandments (brought by Moses);
-“except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven”–(Matthew 23:2-3; 19:17-18; 5:20).
Islam is the only Divine-revealed religion. All prophets of God taught submission to God –Islam!

Mohammad-wrote the Qur’an
There are several teachings of the Qur’an that show that the Qur’an is Divine Revelation. Maurice Bucaille states in his book The Bible The Qur’an And Science:
-(Regarding certain verses [on science]: “It was not until much later, at a period not far from our own, that it was possible to translate and interpret them correctly. This implies that a thorough linguistic knowledge is not in itself sufficient to understand these verses from the Qur’an. What is needed along with this is a highly diversified knowledge of science.” (p.121).
–“What initially strikes the reader confronted for the first time with a text of this kind is the sheer abundance of subjects discussed…I could not find a single error in the Qur’an. I had to stop and ask myself: if a man was the author of the Qur’an, how could he have written facts in the Seventh century A.D. that today are shown to be in keeping with modern scientific knowledge?” (p. 120).
-“Modern scientific knowledge therefore allows us to understand certain verses of the Qur’an which, until now, it has been impossible to interpret.” (p. 251).

HINDUISM
The cardinal doctrines of Hinduism -Triune Godhead of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, Karma and Reincarnation and Moksa- are not clearly expressed in theVeda.
Triune Godhead: “In the Vedas we do not find any reference to the concept of Trinity. During the Rigvedic period, Vishnu was a minor solar deity, while Shiva was almost unknown. The Rigvedic hymns speak of Rudra, a fierce god of the skies and thunder, father of Maruts, who was invoked mostly as the healer with wondrous medicines. But we are not sure whether he was in any way connected with the Shiva of later times”. (https://www.hindu website.com/hinduism/hindutrinity.asp#google_vignette). That Vishnu was a minor sun god, clearly, God does not grow in status or stature).
Karma and Reincarnation: “The origin and the development of the belief in the transmigration of souls are very obscure….This doctrine of samsara (reincarnation) is attributed to the sage Uddalaka Aruni….In the same text, the doctrine of karma (works)…also occurs for the first time….Both doctrines appear to have been new and strange ones, circulating among small groups of ascetics who were disinclined to make them public”–(Ency. Britannica, 15th Ed; Vol. 8, p.911).
Anoop Chandola states: “Through contact, the Aryans and non-Aryans began to modify and integrate each other’s pathways. In the context of religion, for example, the Austro-Asiatics may have contributed the belief in each life passing to another life. This belief later, in the form of reincarnation, became a major element in the Upanishads”–(The Way To True Worship, p. 8).
If Karma and reincarnation were Divine doctrines, it is doubtful Hindu sages would be “disinclined to make them public.” And conjectured that “Austro-Asiatics may have contributed the belief in each life passing to another life.”
That one’s present condition is the result of actions in a past life reconciles the poor to his suffering. It kills his incentive to progress.
If karma/reincarnation were Divine truths, trying to improve the conditions of the unfortunate –which is the “reaction” to their bad karma– would be to work against karma; if such works are successful man would have subverted karma.
That the soul is reincarnated to lower species as punishment for bad karma. The souls as animals can be said to be at no disadvantage, nor as a means of punishment for a past life of evil. An animal is suited to its kingdom. A worm, dog, cat, cockroach, etc; must be just as comfortable and happy in its state and surroundings as man (generally) is in his. Souls, in some cases, are worse off as man than they are as animals if we take into account the miseries man suffers at the hands of man –enslavement, torture, eviction; discrimination, as in the caste system. Consider how some dogs and cats are treated regally –pampered, well nourished, and may even inherit their master’s will.
Dogs and cats could not have been humans reborn as animals to be pampered in reward for pampering animals in a past life. According to karma, those who do good go to a higher form of life, not to a lower form.
If people are reincarnated as creatures and plants, the flesh and vegetables one eats may very well be his parents or other humans reincarnated as these creatures and/or plants/vegetables.
Hinduism teaches the existence of “hell”–(Bhagavad-Gita As It Is, 16:16, 21). And Arjuna says to Lord Krishna that he heard “that those who destroy family traditions dwell always in hell”–(Ibid. 1:43). If humans were reincarnated according to their deeds (karma), it would seem needless to have a “hell.”
Karma –law of action and equal reaction– is for science. That we reap what we sow is for agriculture and animal-culture –if we sow corn we can only reap corn, if we breed goats we will have only goats. Along with his right to retaliate, man is endowed with reason and to be merciful and forgiving. The God Who gives to all human action an equal and opposite reaction is devoid of mercy: there is no room in Him for forgiveness.
Allah forgives who, and how much, as He pleases; whereas He requites evil to the degree of the sin committed or can forgive the sin, He rewards one good deed up to seven-hundredfold:
-“Say, O My servants who have sinned against their souls, despair not of the mercy of Allāh; surely Allāh forgives all sins. Verily, He is Most Forgiving, Ever Merciful”–Qur’an 39:53).
-“The parable of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is as the parable of a grain growing seven ears, in every ear a hundred grains”–(Qur’an 2:261).
-“Whoever brings a good deed will have tenfold like it, and whoever brings an evil deed, will be recompensed only with the like of it”-(Qur’an 6:160).
-“If a person embraces Islam sincerely, then Allah forgive all his past sins, and after that starts the settlement of accounts: the reward of his good deeds will be ten times to seven hundred times for each good deed and an evil deed will be recorded as it is unless Allah forgives it”–(Bokhari Vol. 1; ch. 32, #40).
Moksa/Moksha/Moksh is the liberation of the soul from deaths and re-births (reincarnation) and is “attainable only by a male of twice-born genus who has followed the sacrificial code through the three life stages of student, householder, and forest dweller”–(Ency; Brit; 15th Ed; Vol.3, p. 988. Emphasis added. Thus, women cannot attain moksa; only some men can).
Wikipedia notes: “The Vedas suggest three goals of man: kama, artha and dharma. To these, the Upanishadic era added moksha. The acceptance of the concept of moksha in some schools of Hindu philosophy was slow. These refused to recognize moksha for centuries, considering it irrelevant.”
As noted, Moksa is the liberation of the soul from the cycle of rebirths and deaths –reincarnation. But as there is no Divine doctrine of reincarnation and karma, Moksa (which is based on reincarnation and karma), Moksa is not only “irrelevant”, Moksa does not exist.
Rama, Krishna and Hanuman: Swami Dayananda Saraswati wrote that (the Bhagavad Gita) “Being opposed to the Veda, it cannot be held to be an authority.…Krishna could never be God”–(Light Of Truth, p. 219).
In his book The Way To True Worship, (p. 1), Anoop Chandola wrote: “The first recorded book of the Hindus is the Rig Veda. In it, “being” or sat is said to have its beginning in non-being or asat. More than a thousand years later, the Bhagavad Gita challenged this view, holding that there is no “non-being” state of being.”
Anoop Chandola explains: “The Vedas included several major gods and goddesses some of whom must have been culture heroes….As the tradition of honoring culture heroes continued, in due course new heroes were added, two of them most important: Rama and Krishna”–(The Way To True Worship, p. 9. Emphasis added).
Swami Dayananda Saraswati on Hanuman: “In Puranic Mythology the monkey-god who helped Rama…. as a historic person who was afterwards defied”–(Light of Truth, p. 24, f/n).(See –Hinduism-Karma and Reincarnation & Women).

JUDAISM
Judaism teaches pure Monotheism. The cardinal doctrines of Judaism are -Unity of God and observance of the Mosaic Law (until the arrival of the prophet like Moses whom is to be followed).
Jews belief that they are God’s “chosen people” to the exclusion of others is not Divine revelation; God is Just (Deuteronomy 32:4), He will not dis-favor people because of their race/color/nationality -factors of which we had no choice, factors in which He gave us birth.
Jews are commanded by God to follow Prophet Mohammad/Islam or face His wrath (Judaism-no future).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BUDDHISM
Buddha (about 566-486 BC). Abdul Haque Vidyarthi notes in his book Muhammad in World Scriptures, Vol; I: “There are two great sections among the Buddhists”: (1) Mahayana, who believe that “Buddha is himself the Almighty God, eternal and ever-living,” and (2) Hynayana, who “disbelieved in God and revelation.”
Buddha did not leave a book. (See Buddhism & Buddha).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ZOROASTRIANISM
Abdul Haque Vidyarthi points out in his Muhammad in World Scriptures “there is no idol-worship in Zoroastrianism, but a sort of nature worship is, of course, present”–(Vol. 1, p. 130).
Zoroastrians or Parsi or Magians believe in two Creators:
(1) Yazdan or Ahura Mazda or Ormuzd, the God of light, who creates all the things that are good and useful; and
(2) Ahriman, the God of darkness who creates all the things that are evil and bad.
But Zoroaster taught One God: “Behold me O Lord,” “I explain to you…the wisdom of the All-Wise God”–(Yasht 44:3, 5; Gatha Yasht 30:1-2); (Ibid; 119, 127). (As noted, Zoroaster spoke of Lord and God, singular, not Lords and Gods).
AHV notes that Islam regards Zoroaster as a prophet of Allāh. And: “A considerable part of the Zoroastrian teachings is also in conformity with the teachings of the Bible and the Qur’an.”
AHV also notes that many base and indecent things regarding women were introduced by Mazda in the Zoroastrian faith. But Anushirvan the Just, being influenced by the teachings of Islam, removed these abuses”. (See–Zoroastrianism (Parsis).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CHRISTIANITY
The cardinal doctrines of Christianity -Trinity, original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement- are not clearly expressed in the Bible or observed by Jesus.
Trinity: There were others who had Trinity before Christians:
▪ Hindus have Trinity –Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva
▪ Romans have Trinity –Juno, Jupiter and Minerva
▪ Africans/Egyptians have Trinity –Asar (the father), Aset (the mother) and Heru (their son).
Whose Trinity is the true Trinity?
Jennifer Williams wrote: “Christianity borrowed the idea from ancient Egyptians, making some significant changes along the way. Williams notes that early Christians found inspiration for their spiritual system in religions from around the Mediterranean. The region was full of stories involving resurrection, salvation, virgin births, and central figures who were the sons of supreme gods.” (https://daily.jstor.org/a-holy-trinity-in-ancient-egypt/).
Christian Trinity consists of Father, Son and Holy Spirit/Ghost (who does not have a name). If God incarnated Himself as Jesus, how did God enter into Mary’s womb for Mary to conceive Him? As a sperm? and as whose sperm?
Christian Trinity was invented by the Church 324 years AFTER Christ. Encyclopaedia Britannica notes:
“Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament….The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies.…It was not until the 4th century that the distinctness of the three and their unity were brought together in a single orthodox doctrine of one essence and three persons.….Over the next half century, Athanasius defended and refined the Nicene formula, and, by the end of the 4th Century….the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since” –(15th Ed; Vol. X, art; Trinity, p. 126).
“The clergy have ever held to this senseless God-dishonoring doctrine…If you ask a clergy-man what is meant by the trinity he says: “That is mystery.” He does not know, and no one else knows, because it is false. Never was there a more deceptive doctrine advanced than that of the trinity. It could have originated only in one mind, and that the mind of Satan the Devil”1
In trying to explain Trinity Christians are trying to explain the non-existent. In trying to Divinize Trinity Christians are trying to legitimize blasphemy.
Son of God: As stated, God could not have a son because He has no consort. Fatherhood requires intimate contact with a female (the union of sperm and ovum). That ‘God can do anything’ is no argument; this is not about God creating an object, it is about God having a parental relationship -God does not have a womb and birth canal to conceive and give birth.
Jesus is only “CALLED” son of God and God has a jungle of sons, some of whom even came down and took human daughters for wives. As there is no actual son of God, there is NO Trinity.(See Jesus-Son of God).
Original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement: Your pastor taking food, drink, laxative and medication will not free you of your hunger, thirst, constipation or headache. According to Christians, rather than forgive Adam for his sin, God went on a merry-go-round committing two injustices: (1) God puts Adam’s sin on innocent babies, and (2) God had innocent Jesus killed for Adam’s sin which He put on innocent babies. But “God (is)….without iniquity, just and right is He”–(Deut. 32:4).
Original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement were devised by Paul. Paul conjectured that because Adam fell from Divine grace all humans automatically have fallen from Divine grace and that Jesus was made a sacrifice to redeem man. Paul states:
-“Wherefore, as by one man (Adam) sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned”–(Romans 5:12. This is collective blaming).
-“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: whom God hath set forth to be a propiation through FAITH IN HIS BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past”–(Romans 3:23-25).
-“Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to MY GOSPEL”–(2 Timothy 2:8; Galatians 1:6. Paul forged his own gospel. Paul “shanghaied” Jesus’ religion and instituted his own. See Allah -and Jesus or Paul).
Jesus belies original/inherited sin; he taught we are born sinless: “Except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven;” “Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God”–(Matthew 18:3; 19:14; Luke 18:16-17. If children inherited sin the kingdom of God would be sinful).
Jesus belies vicarious atonement, he says eternal life lies in observing the Ten Commandments (until the arrival of the Comforter who will then guide into “all truth” and will “abide forever”)–(Matthew 19:16-19; John 14:15-16; 16:7, 12-13). Jesus also commands: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do”–(Matt.23:1-3). Scribes and Pharisees teach the Mosaic Law, they do not teach original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement.
God belies original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement: “The father shall NOT die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but EVERY MAN SHALL DIE FOR HIS OWN SIN”–(Deuteronomy 24:16; Ezekiel 18:20; 2 Chronicles 25:4).
“Sin is an acquisition, and not a heritage”.
To say we are born with sin is to say we are criminal by nature –that we come into the world with two little horns on our forehead and a barbed tail on our behind: devils! Thus, we should not be consigned to Hell, because we have no choice but to act according to the state in which we are created. (Good defense for criminals).
The doctrines of Trinity and original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement:
–elevates a mortal woman as mother of the immortal God and denigrates the immortal God as son of a mortal woman
–fashions God into a sperm and inserts God into the belly of a woman He created –Christians are yet to explain how God is inserted into the woman’s womb; a sperm cannot travel by itself and from heaven to earth and between the woman’s thighs and up her passageway- gives God anus and penis and pulls God out the woman’s genital through the unclean process of childbirth –making Adam and Eve (and cloned beings) cleaner than God– circumcises God’s foreskin and bandages God’s manhood in poultice to be healed, pins God in diaper and in need to be cleaned, has God urinate and defecate like animals, feeds God butter and honey so God can know good from evil (Isaiah 7:14-15) –portraying God as an ignoramus; (and as man does not need to eat butter and honey to know good from evil man is greater than the Christian God).
–indicts God as having committed the gross injustices of putting Adam’s sin onto innocent, blameless, helpless and morally and mentally non-competent babies, has God kill the innocent Jesus to free us of Adam’s sin (which God put on us as babies in our mother’s womb) which is tantamount to tyranny -such a God is not worthy of adoration
–hangs God naked on a cross: “Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat”–(John 19:23. The crucified was hanged naked on a cross). These doctrines must be the most heinous assertion and the blackest degree of blasphemy ever made against His Holy Highness. Jesus admonishes: “he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation”-(Mark 3:29).
Muslims who apostatized from Islam have the grand opportunity while you are alive to return to Allah; when you die, and no one knows when he/she will die, this grand opportunity evaporates like dew-drop in Hell; and you as the fuel: “be on your guard against the fire whose fuel is men and stones”-(Qur’an 2:24).
As noted, Jesus says eternal life lies in observing the Ten Commandments (until the arrival of the Comforter who will guide into “all truth” and “abide forever”)–(Matthew 19:16-19; John 14:15-16; 16:7, 12-13).
As the Comforter will give “all truth”, the Bible, devoid of “all truth”, the BIBLE IS OBSOLETE! And, as Jesus did not give “all truth”, JESUS IS REDUNDANT, NO ONE NEEDS JESUS (though he is to be honored as Muslims honor him, and all prophets of God, with ‘peace and blessings’ of Allah). From Jesus’ own declaration it is the Comforter who is now the only way and life and truth; no man cometh to God but by the Comforter, Mohammad. (That Prophet Mohammad is the Comforter, see Jesus-Comforter).
Jesus’ mission, as he clearly declared, was wholly and solely only for Jews. Jesus’ mission was two-fold: to minister unto the Children of Israel and to give the Good News (Gospel) of the coming of the Comforter who will guide into “all truth” and will “abide for ever”.
The Gospel that Jesus gave and said to preach is NOT about Trinity and original/inherited sin and vicarious atonemant. Jesus’ Gospel is that he (Jesus) was a prophet of God sent to preach to the Israelite and that eternal life lies in observance of the Mosaic Law until the arrival of the Comforter who is to be followed.
In following Trinity and original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement, Christians are not followers of Christ: so-called Christians are followers of the Church -they are, factually, CHURCHIANS– and their religion is CHURCHIANITY; Jesus Christ is just a figurehead in the Church (see Christianity does not exist).
That there was no crucifixion -that Jesus did not die on the cross- is evidenced by the Gospel, by Jesus, by Allah and by scientific investigation on the Shroud of Turin, see Allah vs. Historians–Jesus not killed on cross; see also Christianity dupes people.
In his revealing book, The Sources of Christianity, Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din notes forty-eight (48) similarities between Buddha and Jesus, including virgin birth, ascension and return. Notably, Buddha preceded Jesus by 500 years. Who copied from whom? And which of the two will be victorious to restore “order and happiness” to the world? For The Sources of Christianity see www.muslim. org).
KK also notes that the Passion Play of Christ mimicks that of Baal, the Babylonian Sun-God, who precede Jesus by centuries. Who copied from whom? see Jesus-Pagan Passion Play.
There are many “forgeries” in the Bible passing under the name of God and Jesus, see Bible corrupt & obsolete.

SIKHISM
Sikh means “disciple”. The founder of Sikhism is Guru Nanak (1469). Nanak is said to have “had his first vision of God, in which he was ordered to preach to mankind. He disappeared while bathing in a stream. When he reappeared on the third day, he proclaimed: “There is no Hindu, there is no Mussulman (Muslims)””–(Ency; Britannica, 15th Edn; Art; Sikhism, Vol; 16, p. 744).
Sikhism teaches monotheism. It also teaches karma and reincarnation, which, as noted in Hinduism, are not Divine doctrines and also not conducive to reason. As God did not reveal karma and reincarnation, not only are Sikhs not disciples of God; but it is a contradiction for God to reveal to Nanak karma and reincarnation when He revealed to Mohammad and other prophets Resurrection and Day of Judgment; and that the souls of the deceased do not return–(Qur’an 39:42; 23:100. Compare Job 7:7-10; Ecclesiastes 9:5-6).
Sikhs honor Rama and Krishna as Gods, though Hindu(s) say Rama and Krishna were “culture heroes” and, the Gita being opposed to the Veda, “Krishna could never be God”. Evidently, Sikhism is a mixture of incongruous doctrines –Islam’s pristine Monotheism (which incorporates belief in the Resurrection and Day of Judgment) and Hinduism’s non-existent karma and reincarnation.
Whether we call God Eli, Ishwar, Allah or Waheguru, it is poor cerebration to entertain that God will change man’s religion from submission to Him (Islam) to discipleship of Guru Nanak (Sikhism).
As God’s favor to man was completed and religion perfected through the Prophet Mohammad, there is no need for another Divine messenger: “This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor to you and chosen for you Islam as a religion”-(Qur’an 5:3).
Any subsequent claimant to Divine Dispensation must prove the Divine origin and superiority of his book/religion to Islam.
Sikhs are to show in their Holy Book -Adi Granth/Guru Granth Sahib- where God (WaheGuru/Akal Purakh) says “I am WaheGuru/Akal Purakh”, that Guru Nanak is His messenger, that He revealed the Adi Granth/Guru Granth Sahib to Guru Nanak, and show that the Adi Granth/Guru Granth Sahib’s doctrines are superior to that of the Qur’an in matters moral, social, intellectual and spiritual. (See Sikhism).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BAHAISM
Bahai’s are skilled at manipulating material to mislead/lure uninformed Muslims into apostatizing. One example; Bahais say that in accepting Bahaism the Muslim is not giving up his faith in Allāh, the Prophet Mohammad and the Qur’an.
But this is false. The naked truth is, Bahais claim that Baha’ullah is a “Manifestation” of God. A “Manifestation” of God is the same as saying that God manifests or incarnates Himself as Baha’ullah or that God came as Baha’ullah (which is similar to Christians claim that God came as Jesus; or Hindus teaching that God came Rama and Krishna and Buddha); which is contrary to the teaching of Islam and which may even be blasphemy. Allāh does not incarnate: “It is not vouchsafed to a mortal that Allah should speak to him, except by revelation or from behind a veil, or by sending a messenger”–(Qur’an 42:51). Messengers of God are not “manifestations” of God, they are “representatives” of God.
Also, whereas the Islamic belief in Allāh incorporates belief in the Angels of Allāh and in the literal Resurrection and Day of Judgment. Bahai’s do not believe in literal angels and Resurrection and Judgment.
Bahaism: A religion that claims to supersede Islam must have teachings that are morally, socially, intellectually, and spiritually superior to Islam. Does the Bahai’s Aqdas excel the Qur’an?
Bahai’s honor Mirza Husayn ‘Ali (1817-1892) as Baha’ullah (Glory of Allah/God), which title (Baha’ullah) coined for himself.
Bahais claim to Divine Dispensation is based mainly on three points: (1) That the door to messengership is not closed with Prophet Mohammad. (2) Belief in the Hidden Imam. (3) That Islam is only for a period of 1260 years.
1. Door to messengership not closed: Citing Qur’an 33:40 where Allāh says that Mohammad is the Seal of the Prophets, Bahais claim that whereas Allāh has closed the station of prophethood, the station of messengership is still open.
ANSWER:
Prophethood is the first station of Divine messengership. A prophet is not necessarily a messenger, but a messenger is necessarily a prophet also –i.e. a person can be a prophet without being a messenger but he cannot be a messenger without first being a prophet. Thus whereas a prophet has only one position –prophethood– a messenger has two positions –prophethood, and messengership in which he is given a Book.
In analogy, one must first enter the front door of a house (prophethood) to get into the bedroom (messengership). If the front door (prophethood) is closed he cannot get into the bedroom (messengership). By closing the door to prophethood, Allāh the Wise has closed the door to messengership also. Seal of Prophethood is also seal of messengership!
2. The Hidden Imam: Bahais believe in the alleged Hidden Imam.
ANSWER:
While Islam teaches the coming of Reformers/Mujaddids (to call those who have lapsed from the practice of Islam). Bahai’s belief in the Bab (Gateway) to the Hidden Imam, is based on “Iranian Shiah tradition;” it is NOT an Islamic teaching. Thus, Bahai’s cannot base this advent of the Bab/Baha’ullah on the teaching of Islam when there is NO such teaching in Islam –this alone obliterates the Bahai’s claim to Divine messengership.
Secondly, whereas the Bab (and Baha’ullah) was born in the nineteenth century, according to Shi’ah beliefs this Hidden Imam –Muhammad al-Mahdi- was born in 873 and “Living in Occultation” (being now over 1100 years old). Thus, not only does the Bahais claim have no basis in Islam, it also has no basis in Shiism. This demolishes the Bahai’s claim on two fronts.
Whereas the mission of this alleged “Hidden Imam” or “Twelfth Imam” will be subordinated to the teachings of Prophet Mohammad, according to Bahais Baha’ullah was given a new book and a new religion. This is a third front on which the Bahais claim is demolished.
3. Islam is only for a period of 1260 years:
ANSWER:
It is not reasonable:
-that since Allāh completed His favor to mankind, perfected his religion and chosen Islam for us, that He, this All-knowing God, would later think His perfected religion imperfect and His completed favor incomplete
-that Islam –submission to Allah– is not truly the natural religion of man, and not His chosen and universal religion, but would give as the natural religion of man and as His universal religion, a religion named after a man and nam-ed by man himself
-that (as Baha’ullah abrogated Muslim prayers) the Adhan –this magnificent call to prayer to Allah’s worship extolling His Greatness, Glory, and Grandeur- and the Fatihah, the quintessence of His Qur’an, and the recitation of His Qur’an, which conveys unsurpassed expressions of His Majesty are all now redundant: superseded by the inferior and human-formulated incantations of Baha’ullah and Bahais
-that Allah’s Book of all truth which is the ultimate in moral, social, intellectual and spiritual excellence is lacking
-that Allah’s year really does not have twelve months but nineteen, as Bahaism teaches
-that Allah would change fasting to 19 days instead of 29-30, and would say that a month does not actually have 29-30 days but 19, as Bahaism teaches; and the moon is no longer useful in computing the months (seeing that the month now consists of only nineteen days)
-that Allah’s Islamic form of prayer which distinguishes between Muslims and non-Muslims are now replaced by a man-formulated form and format.
-that Allah’s inimitable Qur’an is not really the best Message, that it does not really contain all truth, but that He has now given, as the superior book, the Aqdas revealed in “poor Arabic” and which can be easily duplicated
-that Allah no longer decrees Islam to prevail over all other religions but has now decreed Bahaism –a man-made religion– to prevail over all others
-that Mohammad is not really the best exemplar and light-giving sun but that Baha’ullah –a man who seized religious leadership and confers title upon himself– is the new role model and guide
-that Allah’s Hajj is no longer a duty man owe to Him; and that the Ka’bah (the first House of worship) and Makkah is no longer the international place of worship and pilgrimage and spiritual center; but He now, 1200 years later, has chosen as the center of pilgrimage the shrines of Bab and Baha’ullah, in Haifa and Akka (in Occupied Palestine).
The Review of Religions, June 1984, American Edition (Pub; by the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam, Inc;) carries two articles on the Bahai Faith by A.R. Mughal, and Fazal Dean, respectively. Mr. Dean also lists nine (9) teachings of the Bahais. According to this article:
It is said that the Shia’s belief in the advent of the “ultimate Imam” had spawned “innumerable Babs and Baha Ullahs” “during the last 1000 years.” One such claimant was Ali Muhammad Bab “the founder of the Babi and Bahai cults.” And that Baha’ullah, a disciple of the Bab, “turned against Subhi Azal,” the named successor of the Bab, and “publicly proclaimed himself to be the successor of the Bab.” (Prophets of God do not have to seize position from anyone).
Since the focus of the Babi and Bahai reli-gions is the belief that “the Holy Qur’an no longer meets the needs of the human society in the present age,” Baha’ullah, to meet this deficiency, “compiled a book called Aqdas,” which is “written in poor Arabic.” (The last [or 9th.] teaching noted by Mr. Dean states):
“The followers of Ali Mohammed Bab look upon all those who do not believe in the Bab as untouchables worthy to be put to death. (Nuqtatul Kaf, Muqadama 5.) Abdul Baha, the successor of Baha Ullah, supports the above statements of the Bayan by saying: “The Bab enjoins that the necks of all those who do not believe in him should be broken, that they should be wiped out of existence with a general massacre, and that all other books should be burned, so as to leave nothing of them. The sacred buildings of the world should also all be demolished, and nothing left except what is of our religion.” (Makateeb, vol. 2, page 266).”
Religion was perfected and Divine favor to man was completed through Prophet Mohammad: “This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor to you and chosen for you Islam as a religion”–(Qur’an 5:3).
Through Prophet Mohammad, Allāh perfected man’s religion, completed His favors to mankind, and gave us the Book in which nothing is omitted. It would be absurd, to say the least, that Allāh would call a set of laws perfect that would become redundant within a number of years.
Whereas man perfecting of an affair is limited to his knowledge of the day and is therefore subject to improvement, Allah having all knowledge of all things, His perfecting of an affair cannot be improved upon. His perfecting our religion, there is no need for another Law.
For Baha’ullah (or any other) to claim to bring a new Law from God when God has already perfected religion and completed His favor and chosen for us Islam as religion is to deny God His Omniscience.
Allāh has given us a world prophet–Mohammad; a world Book–Qur’an; a world religion–Islam; and a world language–Arabic.
(For a response to other claims made by Bahais see Baha’is & Baha’ullah).

ATHEISM
Atheism is an insult to intellect.
We will have to compromise our reasoning to accept that man could have evolved by Chance/Accident from a microscopic cell into a magnificent form of symmetry, beauty and precision, perfectly positioned and consistently. Which includes:
-sight (through fat), hearing (through bone), and speech (through a lump of flesh);
-equipped with complimentary genitals, reproductive systems and regenerative cells for their propagating and provided with mammary glands and milk for the off-spring.
-instill in plants the intricate system of photosynthesis to purify the air. Or dictate that some creatures produce their young through eggs and others in the womb; for kangaroos to carry its young in a pouch.
In Islam Creation is not opposed to evolution: evolution is part of Divine Creation. In fact, the principle of evolution was taught to the world in Islam. (See Atheism, Creation, or Evolution; also Apostate prophet-Qur’an is poor science). (See also Qur’an–burning Qur’an).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2. MOHAMMAD A PEDOPHILE; JESUS INSTITUTED PEDOPHILIA
Whereas Christians charge that Prophet Mohammad was a pedophile because he married nine-year old ‘Aishah, as detailed, the Bible shows that Jesus instituted pedophilia and engaged in incest.
Regarding Christians charge that Mohammad was a pedophile for marrying nine-year-old ‘Aishah, Scholars have shown that ‘Aishah was more than nine years old when she married Prophet Mohammad. “QUORA” (on the Internet) carries an article by “Farogh, Former Senior Scientist at Biocon (2016–2022)” on the topic: “Do you believe Aisha bint Abi Bakr was really 9 years old when she married prophet Muhammad (PBUH)? For this article see https://www.quora.com/Did-Prophet-Mohammed-have-sex-at-the-age-of-53-with-Aisha-when-she-was-9-years-old (And ‘Aisha-marriage 9 or 19?).
Wikipedia notes: “The term “paedophilia erotica” was coined in an 1896 article by the Viennese psychiatrist Richard von Krafft-Ebing”.
So here we have the Seventh Century Mohammad judged, 1200 years later, by Nineteenth Century standards. Thus:
-Lot can be charged with incest, building two nations with his two daughters–(Genesis 19:30-37. These girls must have been quite young; they must have had relations with their father quite often).
–(As Christians say Jesus is God) Jesus can be charged for instituting slavery–(Leviticus 25:44);
–(As Christians say Jesus is God) Jesus) can be charged with abetting sexual-abuse, giving David’s wives to David’s neighbor to have sex with David’s wives–(2 Samuel 12:11. David should have been stoned for adulterating with Uriah’s wife).
-(As Christians say Father, Son and Holy Ghost are one) Jesus can be charged with incest, coming as the Holy Ghost upon his mother and have her “conceive”: “Mary….was found with child of the Holy Ghost….for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost”–(Luke 1:35; Matthew 1:18-20. Conception requires sperm and ovum. For details see Jesus-had s-x with his mother).
The question remains: Was Mohammad a pedophile?
Reason alone exposes the canard that Mohammad was a pedophile.
Pedophilia is noted as “sexual feelings directed toward children”; “sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object.”
Up to the age of 25 Prophet Mohammad lived a life of celibacy and from 25-54 a monogamous marriage. Of his thirteen wives only ‘Aishah was preteen. All the others were widows, divorcees or captives of war, with Mary the Coptic being a gift to the Prophet from the ruler of Egypt.
So, to which “children” was Mohammad’s “sexual feelings” directed and where is Mohammad’s “sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object”?
Mohammad was a ruler with the choice of any number of young girls at his disposal. It is doubtful a pedophile –and a king at that who have the pick of prepubescent girls and nubiles– would go after elderly, widows and divorcees.
Prophet Mohammad was born into a system that engaged in child marriages (much like certain modern societies engaging in gay marriages). Tradition tells us that Al-Mughira said that “he attained puberty at the age of twelve,” and Al-Hassan bin Salih said “I saw a neighboress of mine who became a grandmother at the age of twenty-one” (the footnote explains: “This woman attained puberty at the age of nine and married to give birth to a daughter at ten; the daughter had the same experience”)–(Bokhari Vol. 3, ch. 18, heading of #832).
Muhammad Ali notes in his Early Caliphate (p.4): “‘Aishah was at first “betrothed to Jubair, son of Mut’im;” and that the Prophet’s consummation of his marriage to ‘Aishah “was delayed for five years on account of ‘Aishah’s age, which was only nine at the time of nikah, according to a report of Ibn Sa’d.”
Muhammad Ali also notes: “‘Aishah’s nikah (marriage) was performed in Makkah long before the details of the Islamic law were revealed to the Prophet.” (The Religion of Islam, p. 601).
This practice of pre-teen marriage did end, as Muhammad Ali notes: “there is no case on record showing that the marriage of a minor through his or her guardian was allowed by the Prophet after details of the law were revealed to him at Madinah. ”(The Religion of Islam, p. 601. Muslims who marry minors have no recourse to Islam for such a marriage. The Prophet’s marriage to ‘Aishah is no precedent for Muslims. The Prophet was not pandering to prurient desire(s).
Like olden Arabia, modern pre-teen girls engage in sex and give birth.
As noted above, Al-Hassan bin Salih’s neighboress “attained puberty at the age of nine and married to give birth to a daughter at ten;” in the following:
-The Toronto Star, Tuesday, October 12, 1999 reports about a “pregnant 12-year-old.” (Unless she was raped, how long has this “12-year-old” been having sex before becoming pregnant?)
-The Toronto Star, Thursday, February 11, 1999 reports about “11 years old” in “sex-trade.”
-The Toronto Star, Saturday, April 29, 2000, Section J8 notes about girls “11 and 12,” and a “9-year-old” “prostitutes”. (Unless these prostitutes were selective in their clients, some of the men must have been old).
-The Toronto Star Wednesday, August 9, 2000 notes about “girls aged 10 to 14” giving births.
-The Toronto Star, Tuesday, May 2, 2006, page A11 notes: “At least 17 Israeli soldiers are under investigation” for having sex with an “11-year-old girl”: according to the girl “the sex was consensual.”
-The Toronto Star, Thursday, November 4, 2010 (p. A19): “10-year-old gave birth.” (This girl must have been 9 years old, or even younger, when she began having sex).
-Hinduism teaches that “after being seven years old, the sooner a girl is married, the better”–(Murtahin Billah Fazlie, Hinduism and Islam, A Comparative Study, pp.192-193).
-Ghulam Nabi points out: “the Eastern churches in Europe do accept that Mary was 12 years old and Joseph a widower 90 years old when they married. (‘Aisha-marriage 9 or 19?).
-And according to news report and other materials on the Internet an alarming number of girls in America –from those examined, 10 percent of Whites, 14 percent of Hispanics and 23 percent of Blacks– begin puberty at the age of seven (7), developing breasts, pubic hair and even menstruating.
(One clever post on an Internet page reads, if you can bleed you can breed).
These girls 9, 10 and 11, were probably having sex before these ages.
If 9 and 10 years-old girls can engage in sex and even give birth, why can’t they be wife? Certainly, be it Seventh Century Arabia or Twentieth Century Era, it is better for a 9 year-old girl to be wife, moreover wife of a king/ruler, than be a prostitute, concubine or slut.
Regarding the age of sexual consent, the following are from
https://discover-the-truth.com/2013/09/09/age-of-consent-in-euro pean-american-history/
-“It needs to be remembered that many Medieval widows were not old, Important heiresses were often married between the ages of 5 and 10 and might find themselves widowed while still in their teens.” [1]
-“….If two people were married and had sex, no matter what their age, no crime was committed because a woman was her husband’s property. In practice, too, the consent laws only protected white females, as many non-white females were enslaved or otherwise discriminated against by the legal system.” [3]
-“In 1962, the American Law Institute recommended that the legal age of consent to sex- that is, the age below which sex is defined as statutory rape- be dropped in every state to age 10 (Katchadourian and Lund 1972: 439). In fact, until the mid 1960s, the legal age of consent in Delaware was 7 (Kling, 1965: 216). So a 50 year old man could legally have sexual inter-course with a 7 year old boy or girl.” [6]
-“At what age is a person capable of making and informed decision about whether or not to engage in sex? Would it be 7, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, or 21? Over the last 300 years, all the ages listed above were thought to be that magic age at which one could make such a decision, and all the ages listed above have, at various times, been inscribed into law as the age of consent to sex.” [13]”
What then is the age of sexual consent?
Considering that a female may be in her late teens and more full-figured but may yet be mentally challenged; whereas a girl may be pre-teen and flat-figured but is mentally advanced; thus, a higher number of years and/ or a full figure is no guarantee of a mature intellect. Allāh sets the age of marriage at the maturity of intellect: “And test the orphans until they reach the age of marriage. Then if you find in them maturity of intellect, make over to them their property”–(Qur’an 4:6).
The verse indicates that the age of marriage is relative to maturity of intellect. And age of intellect may vary. However, though a girl may have maturity of intellect this does not mean she is to be given in marriage against her will. There is NO forced marriage in Islam; a woman has the right to choose her husband. Says the noble Messenger of Allāh:
-“A matron should not be given in marriage except after consulting her; and a virgin should not be given in marriage except after her per-mission”–(Bokhari Vol. 7, #67, 68; Vol. 9, # 98, 100);
-a virgin’s consent, because of bashfulness, is expressed by her silence–(Bokhari Vol. 7, #68; Vol. 9, #98, 100-101);
-and “If a man gives his daughter in marriage in spite of her disagreement, such marriage is invalid” –it notes the dissolution of such a marriage by the Prophet on behalf of a matron who disliked the marriage her father had arranged–(Bokhari Vol. 7, #69; Vol. 9, #78).
To label Mohammad “pedophile” is slander.
Jesus encouraged/instituted pedophilia: (As Christians say Jesus is God) Jesus gave little virgin girls as spoils of war. The Bible commands as detailed in Numbers chapter 31:
“And they warred against the Midianites, as the Lord commanded Moses, and they slew ALL THE MALES….And they brought the CAPTIVES and the prey and the spoil to Moses, and Eleazar…And Moses said unto them…Now therefore kill every MALE among the LITTLE ONES (of the captives), and kill EVERY WOMAN who hath known man by lying with him but ALL THE WOMEN CHILDREN, that have not known a man by lying with him (virgin girls) KEEP ALIVE FOR YOURSELVES ….And the BOOTY, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught was….of WOMEN that had not known man by lying with him (virgin girls), were 32,000. And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was….16,000 persons (virgin girls. And of the congregation’s half portion of these 16.000 virgin girls, 320 were given to the Levite priests….And the LORD’S TRIBUTE was…32 persons….the men of war had taken SPOIL (BOOTY), EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF.”
Surely, these virgin little girls were taken by the soldiers for sex not to cook and farm and plough fields; the mature women are suitable for this. And the 320 given to the Levite priests could have hardly been for “altar”-girl service.
Notably, taking these captive girls for sex does not violate “thou shalt not commit adultery,” Solomon and his son Rehoboam who came after this Mosaic Law had between them “three hundred” and “sixty” concubines–(1 Kings 11:1-3; 2 Chronicles 11:21); in which event Solomon and Rehoboam should have been stoned to death.
Surely, any sane person would prefer that his nine-year old daughter be wife of a sixty-year old man than have his/her mother, wife, sister, father, brother and infant son killed and little virgin daughter(s) and sister(s) taken as war booty (sex slaves).
This exposition is not to denigrate Christ or the Bible. Christian vitriol hurled on Prophet Mohammad demands this response.
Having no intelligent discourse to advance their beliefs –there is nothing intelligent about God going as a sperm into a woman’s belly, growing anus and penis and exiting through the woman’s menstrual passage, eating butter and honey to know good from evil, getting circumcised, blaming and murdering the innocent for the guilty (which is the work of tyrants), having Himself killed and hanged naked on a cross– Christians turn to labeling the Prophet Mohammad hedonist.
Christians believe the blacker they paint Mohammad the easier their chances of having Muslims apostatize from Islam. Sadly, they have managed to snare some uneducated and unthinking Muslims to kiss the useless and ungodly crucifix: to drink the mythical blood of Jesus Christ and eat his body –Spiritual Cannibalism.
Jesus encouraged/instituted pedophilia, Mohammad abolished it.

3. PALESTINE: HAMAS-JEWISH WAR:
Zionist Jews wanted a homeland. In 1903 Britain offered them a homeland in Kenya. Jews rejected the offer; they wanted Palestine.(https://www.theeast african.co.ke/tea/magazine/before-israel-jews-considered-settling-in-western-kenya-1340104#google_vignette).
Contrary to popular perception and pronouncement, Hamas did not start this war. This war (and all Arab-Jewish wars) was started in the 19th Century when Zionist Jews began scheming to dispossess Palestinians of their lands to populate it with Jews to set up their state; this war was started in 1917 when Britain promised Jews a homeland in Palestine; this war was started in 1947 when America engaged in “diplomatic thuggery” at the United Nations which resulted in the UN giving Jews more than half of Palestine.
At the time of Partition of Palestine, Jews were about 34 percent of the population and owned LESS than six percent of land. Yet the partition scheme gave Jews 55-56 percent of land, Palestinians 42-43 percent and 1-2 percent for an international sector.
No king or queen or president or prime minister or chancellor or senator or premier or mayor or educator or student would accept this barefaced thievery of his land and not fight it in every way and in any way he and she can.
A country is not dissected because one sector does not wish to live with the “other” or because they desire their own state. If past or present ownership to a piece of land constitutes the right to secede from the whole, or if a country is dissected because one sector does not wish to live with the “other,” or dissected along sectist, racial and theological lines, or for want of their own state, many a country might now be standing in rumps.
Whoever does not wish to live with the “other” must leave!
What would you do if your government forcibly gives half of your house to a homeless man and whereas that man is permitted to have his brother to live with him you are not permitted to have your brother live with you? –whereas a Palestinian born in Jaffa is a refugee, a Jew born anywhere in the world can live in Palestine. This is the monumental and grotesque obscenity that Palestinians are forced to accept.
Those who criticize and condemn Palestinians for fighting occupation and theft of their lands must give half of their property to the homeless and half of their country to the natives or ethnic sector for their State; they must suffer what the Palestinians have suffered and endure what the Palestinians are enduring and accept what the Palestinians are forced to accept.
Aside from killing innocents or take them hostages –and Jews have their mega share of killing innocents: “official Israeli military policy has been to attack Arab civilians en masse”, as we are now witnessing in Gaza, and operating “death squads” https://merip.org/1992/09/yitzhak-rabin-and-israels-death-squads/; “Israel” hijacked a Syrian jet in 1954 to take “hostages” to trade for Jewish prisoners (Noam Chomsky, Pirates and Emperors, Old and New, International terrorism in the Real World, pp. 66. A must read book to know about “Israel’s” atrocities you do not hear about on the news). Moreover, Palestinians in Gaza/Rafa are also hostages, they are the bleakest of captives, -no food, no water, no bed and hemmed in with no place to go and are yet being bombed/killed.
And “Prior to the 2023 war, Israel held over 5,200 Palestinians as prisoners, including at least 170 children. About 1,310 Palestinians were held in Administrative detention, a practice that allows Israel to detain Palestinians indefinitely without charges or trial. By November 2023, the number of Palestinian prisoners had increased to 10,000.…Some have been convicted of terrorism by Israeli authorities; the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories describes many convictions as resulting from “a litany of violations of international law, including due process violations, that taint the legitimacy of the administration of justice by the occupying power.” In total, since 1967, Israel has arrested one million Palestinians; 40% of Palestinian males have been imprisoned by Israel at some point in their life.”–(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli%E2%80% 93Palestinian_prisoner_exchange).(Italics/emphasis added).
No self-respecting man and woman familiar with the partition of Palestine will condemn Hamas/Palestinians for fighting to regain their stolen land and overthrow the occupier. “Occupation” breeds retaliation/liberation.
To condemn Hamas/Palestinians would be to condemn one’s own self.
In the annals of modern history no people has suffered so much and for so long as Palestinians have suffered and continue to suffer for seven torturous decades now. If there is any cause on which to immortalize our names it is the cause of the Palestinians. Justice demands that every grain of sand of Palestine stolen in 1947 be returned to Palestinians!
Jews have a right to be in Palestine, not the state. If Palestinians assent, Jews can have a state/autonomy on the six percent land they owned in 1947.
If Palestinian is “terrorist” for liberating their stolen/occupied land then
–Britain must be terrorist for liberating the disputed Falkland Islands from the Argentines in 1982
–America and coalition must be terrorist for liberating Kuwait from Iraq. (Though Kuwait was a part of Iraq before it was carved out by the British in 1921)
–the Allies of World war II must be terrorist for liberating France from Germany
–Canada must be terrorist for liberating herself from American takeover in 1812
–Ukraine must be terrorist for fighting to liberate herself from Russian takeover.
The occupied has every “right” and all rights to “retaliate” in “defense” and reclaim his property. While the occupier may fight back (as is the natural instinct) the occupier has no “right” or “right to retaliate” or “right to self-defense”, he being the transgressor to begin with –a robber may fight back but he has no “right” and no “right to retaliate” and no “right to defense” and break the arm of his victim when his victim turns on him.
“Right” and “right to retaliate” and “right to defense” is for victims. In the Palestinian-Jewish divide, Palestinians is the victim.
Significantly, whereas Palestinian freedom-fighters is labeled terrorist. “Israel” stands on the very foundation of “terrorism”, as admitted to by Menachem Begin, a former Jewish Prime Minister, and leader of the Irgun that massacred “Three hundred persons” “without any military reason or provocation of any kind; old men, women, children, newly-born”
Regarding this massacre at Deir Yassin on April 9, 1948, Menachem Begin wrote in his book The Revolt, Story of the Irgun: “The massacre was not only justified, but there would not have been a state of Israel without the victory at Deir Yassin.” (Murdering “old men, women, children, newly-born” is “victory?)
However, the “Revised Edition” titled The Revolt (1983) does not have this declaration by Begin; it states in footnote that this massacre at Deir Yassin was an “Arab…propaganda to smear the Irgun.….The “Dir Yassin Massacre” lie is still propagated by Jew-haters all over the world.”
But the Deir Yassin massacre could not be “a lie” when Begin himself declared that there was a massacre. (Seems those who charge others as revising history are the biggest culprits).
Hamas/Palestinians are not only fighting to liberate their land stolen from them, they are also fighting occupation. As one individual (online) said, If you have a heart you will cry for the Palestinians.
British mathematician and philosopher, Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) aptly puts it:
“The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was “given” by a foreign Power to another people for the creation of a new State. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless.
With every new conflict their number have increased. How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty? It is abundantly clear that the refugees have every right to the homeland from which they were driven, and the denial of this right is at the heart of the continuing conflict.
No people anywhere in the world would accept being expelled en masse from their own country; how can anyone require the people of Palestine to accept a punishment which nobody else would tolerate?” (Emphasis, color added).
“How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty” against Palestinians?
“How much longer”, indeed!

(Like the Holocaust, the Partition of Palestine (1899-1948) is to be taught in schools. Including Islamic schools).
