Mohammed's
High Regard for Women
Zulfikar Khan

Mohammed the Prophet (True Portrait)
Much has been
spoken about the inhuman treatment of women in Islam. If one wants
to know the reason behind this, one has to closely examine Mohammed's
personal life. As far as women are concerned, they were just objects
of sexual desire for Prophet Mohammed.
Here I expose
the insatiable sexual appetite that Mohammed possessed. This goes
to show that among others, one of the main reasons for forming
this insidious religion, Islam, was so that sex was freely available
to the male followers in the name of Allah. As I have already
proved in my article, Wondrous Treatment of Women In Islam, the
Quran justifies treating a woman as nothing but an object for
sexual desire and sometimes even an ordinary object would be treated
better. Suras in the Quran seem to pop up conveniently, so that
Mohammed can justify his perverted sexual actions. For example,
when Mohammed wanted his adopted son's wife, he suddenly got a
revelation from Allah declaring it right to take another man's
wife. When he wanted to stop his wives from quarreling or to accept
more wives, he got a quick revelation for it. My above points
are illustrated from the verses taken from Sura 33.
(Sura
33:28) "O Prophet! Say to
thy consorts: 'If it be that ye desire the life of this world
and its glitter then come! I will provide for your enjoyment and
set you free in a handsome manner.'
(Sura
33:30) "O Consorts of the Prophet if any of you were
guilty of evident unseemly conduct, the punishment would be doubled
to her, and that is easy for Allah."
(Sura
33:37) "....Fear Allah. Then when Zayad had dissolved
his marriage with her (Zainab) we joined her in marriage to thee:
in order that there may be no difficulty to the believers in the
matter of marriage of the wives of their adopted sons...."
The prophet's
interactions with women, his insatiable lust for lascivious ladies,
his lecherous behavior with his wives and concubines are components
that form the model of a true Muslim. The prophet is the perfect
Muslim man for all devout Muslims as he is the one whom Allah
chose to reveal the Quran to. And because he is the perfect man
it is every Muslim's duty to follow him. For example, they cannot
eat pork because Mohammed disliked it, they have to grow a beard
like he had, they have to loot and kill like he did and likewise
they have to molest and treat women inhumanly as he did!
1.
The "great" Mohammed, the founder of this "fabulous"
faith was married to Khadija Bibi who was his employer and 15
years his senior. At that time Mohammed was 25 years old. He was
Khadija Bibi's 3rd husband. Khadija Bibi was a rich widow when
she married Mohammed. For the first time in his life, Mohammed
enjoyed a luxurious life.
This shows
the parasitic nature of Mohammed who married his employer so that
he can live a rich life without putting in a single day's work.
2. Khadija
Bibi died when Mohammed was 49 years old. Between the ages of
49 and 63 the "great prophet" married at least 11 times.
This shows
how he treated the institution of marriage. For him, women were
nothing but objects for sexual fulfillment. Marrying at least
11 women in 14 years throws light on his insatiable sexual appetite.
Read on about the "greatness" of this prophet.
3.
Among his many other wives Mohammed also married a 6 year old
baby, Ayesha. She was his favorite wife.
This marriage
is a clear proof that his pedophilic tendency started manifesting
itself after Khadija's death, because when she was alive he did
not want to offend her because all the wealth belonged to her.
4. The
prophet said that, "the woman can be married for religion,
her fortune, or her beauty. So marry one for the religion"
(Abu Issa al-Tarmidi, Sunan al- Tarmidi, Medina n.d., p.275, B:4,
H:1092)
Therefore,
according to the Prophet the woman is either a creature who will
be subjected to brutal conversion to Islam, a golden goose or
a sexual plaything. Her virtues, intelligence or personality do
not matter. But Mohammed did not stop there. He recommends all
Muslims to marry "one for the religion". Now what does
this mean? It means that use the institution of marriage to convert
people to Islam. Now you know why so many Muslim men marry non-Muslims
and convert them to Islam. It also shows what high regard Islam
has for the sacred institution of Marriage.
5.
In many occasions Mohammed did not even spare women who were originally
allotted to other soldiers of his tribe after gaining a victory
in War. One such woman was Safia Bint Huyay. This Jewish woman
was captured by lecherous Muslim invaders after the Jews were
brutally murdered by Mohammed. According to a Quranic Sura (8:41)
four fifths of any booty or spoil that is won after murdering
the non-believers, is distributed to the barbaric invaders. In
Islam, women of other religion are also considered as booty, so
Safiya bint Huyay was allotted to a soldier called Dahia. But
when Mohammed the ascetic heard of her 'incomparable beauty',
he sent for Dahiya, paid him Safiya's price and married her. (Ibn
Saad, al-Tabaqat, pp. 120-123).
6. Safiya
Bint Huyway was just one of the numerous Jewish women who became
prey to Mohammed's insatiable sexual desire. Regardless of his
participation in these barbaric raids Mohammed was allotted 1/5
of the booty as prescribed in the Quran, Sura 8:41. Rayhana Bint
Zayd was another Jewish woman, whom Mohammed captured after her
tribe was totally butchered. She was known to be a woman of immense
beauty. Mohammed kept her as a concubine. (Ibid., p. 129)
During Mohammed's
time a lot of barbaric wars were instigated by the Muslims and
Mohammed was always the receiver of at least one fifths of the
booty. This booty included captured women and children. One can
imagine how many women were made into concubines for Prophet Mohammed's
carnal pleasure and how many children were his victims.
7.
Maria the Copt from Egypt, was another concubine of Mohammed.
She bore him a son, Ibrahim, who died in infancy. The Prophet's
desire for Maria was so strong that it led him to violate another
of his ideals: "That a man should be just in his dealings
with his wives. A man should keep strictly to the rotation schedule
and not have intercourse with a wife, even if he so desired."
Hafsa, one
of the Prophet's wives, however, caught him having intercourse
with Maria in Safiya's room. 'O Prophet of God, in my room and
in my day!' fulminated Safiya angrily. Afraid of the anger of
his other wives, and especially of his most beloved Ayesha, he
promised Hafsa never to touch Maria again if she would keep the
incident secret (Ibid., p. 213). But she spoke out, and the Prophet
immediately received orders from God to retract his promise to
Safiya; he then resumed relations with Maria (Sura 66:3).
Maria's power
over the Prophet is best described in Ayesha's words: "I
never was as jealous as I was of Maria again. That is because
she was a very beautiful, curly haired woman. The Prophet was
very attracted to her. In the beginning, she was living near us
and the Prophet spent entire days and nights with her until we
protested and she became frightened." (Ibn Saad, al-Tabaqat,
p.212)
The Prophet
then decided to transfer Maria to a more secure dwelling far from
his legitimate wives and kept seeing her inspite of their pressure.
8.
Another woman that the Prophet married for satisfying his sexual
desires was Juwariya Bint al-Harith who was according to Ayesha's
description, 'so beautiful that whoever caught a glimpse of her
fell in love with her.' (Ibid. p.117)
Ayesha's jealousy is displayed again from the following quote:
"The Prophet was in my room when Juwariya came to ask him
about a contract. By Allah, I hated her when I saw her coming
towards him. I knew that he was going to see what I saw (her beauty)."
(Ibid)
9.
A unique instance of the effect of female beauty on the Prophet
was that of Duba Bint Amr who 'was among the most beautiful of
Arab women....her hair was long enough to cover all her body.'(Ibid.,
p. 153) Mohammed asked her son if he could marry his mother, but
later retracted when he heard that Duba Bint Amr, although attractive,
was aging.
This shows
that Mohammed was only interested in physical beauty and not in
providing protection for widows or some other charitable cuase
as the Muslims have been brain washed to believe.
10.
Mohammed's adopted son Zayed was married to Zainab, daughter of
Jahsh. But one day the prophet "beheld in a loose
undress, the beauty of Zainab, and burst forth into an ejaculation
of devotion and desire. The servile, or greatful, freeman (Zayed)
understood the hint and yielded without hesitation to the love
of the benefactor."
Mohammed
was not satisfied with his own overflowing harem and had to marry
his son's wife. His son being a devoted follower of the "great"
prophet was more than happy to divorce his wife. What a great
father-in-law Mohammed was, a model for all Islamic father-in-laws.
Muslim scholar
and statesman, Ali Dashti gives the following list of women in
Mohammed's life.
1. Khadija
2. Sawda
3. Ayesha
4. Omm Salama
5. Hafsa
6. Zainab (of Jahsh)

As a fitting
punishment for all his heinous crimes against women, it was a
Jewish woman who poisoned him in her rightful quest for revenge
after the battle of Khaybar. During the last four years of his
life, his health declined, epileptic fits became more frequent
and his other infirmities increased. After living a life of rape,
perversion, destruction and plunder, at the age of 62, Mohammed
gasped his last breath on the lap of his 17 year old child bride
Ayesha who watched him die a slow, long and horrible death.
