| How can a stone in mecca or any where in the world save you ? is this not a form of idol worship . for good is good and bad is bad . Also is it not written Allah only can save you. was not mohammed pbuh from a wealthy trading family who traded with rome !! so he would be able not only speak many tounges but take note of stock and information , it is like any family trade . why did he always marry widows and chidren and why did he not get blessed with a son . being so high and pure why not abstain from adultery . when it comes to women he set on the most vunerable widows and infants . what is the message behind marrying a girl child (younger the better ) Infidel countries will lock you away for such things why was they no book until after his death ? I have many many more thoughts but this will do for now |

| Hi Anonymous, You obviously have NO understanding of Islam whatsoever. That is okay. A lot of people don't. What you wrote is if I went to a Christian message board and wrote. "What is wrong with you people why are you worshipping Christmas trees and why did your prophet Jesus kill himself on the cross?" I hope you get the message that what you wrote are clear misunderstandings of Islam. 1. Muslims do not worship a stone in Makkah or anywhere else. Islam is a strictly monotheistic religion. That means we worship the one and only God period. Islam came to eradicate idol worship. We all face Makkah as a thing of unity, this does not mean we worship Makkah, the Kabah or the black stone. 2. Muhammad [saw] was never wealthy. He died with less than 5 personal things owned to him, and one being held in trust with a Jewish man as trust. He did not speak many tongues and he never traveled further than syria. 3. He married widows out of the mercy of his heart and to give an example for future generations that is a noble thing to do. He never ever committed adultery. (btw i wonder what your reaction would be if someone said Jesus committed adultery?) 4. He did marry Aisha when she was young, but the marriage was not consummated until later. This was the normal custom of the time. None of the enemies of Islam at that time said a word because it was normal. Note that in the Western world it was common for women to get married as young as 13 and 14 and it was only post-industrialization that they married later. Think of your grandmother perhaps. 5. He was not blessed with a son for some divine wisdom probably. Some people only have boys, some only have girls. Do you know why? 6. The only people who use the word "infidel" are christian missionaries. 7. The Quran was memorized which is a higher form of authenticity than a book that can be transcribed, lost or written wrong. The need for "book quran" came when Islam spread through far lands. Still the Quran is considered the memorized form, not the book. I hope you do ask your questions and actually take the time to learn about Islam instead of forming your opinion on things you might have "heard". Take care, |
