Pornography and incest in The “Holy Bible”

Is the Bible a book of flirtation?

(Flirtation, attention without intention)

Is the Bible a book of love?

Sex in the Holy Bible

“I count him lost, who is lost to shame”

Woman is the crown of creation. A sufficient measure of civilization is the influence of good women. If anything is sacred or needs to, the human body is sacred. Modesty is the conscience of the body. Man is the only animal that blushes.

Give honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel

7 Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. 1 Peter 3:7 (New King James Version)

Woman is respectable. But The Holy Bible has insulted her modesty and greatness by showing her as a sexslave and exposing her body.

Whose emission was like that of horses!

Two Adulterous Sisters

1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 "Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother. 3 They became prostitutes in Egypt, engaging in prostitution from their youth. In that land their breasts were fondled and their virgin bosoms caressed. 4 The older was named Oholah, and her sister was Oholibah. They were mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.

 5 "Oholah engaged in prostitution while she was still mine; and she lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians-warriors 6 clothed in blue, governors and commanders, all of them handsome young men, and mounted horsemen. 7 She gave herself as a prostitute to all the elite of the Assyrians and defiled herself with all the idols of everyone she lusted after. 8 She did not give up the prostitution she began in Egypt, when during her youth men slept with her, caressed her virgin bosom and poured out their lust upon her.

 9 "Therefore I handed her over to her lovers, the Assyrians, for whom she lusted. 10 They stripped her naked, took away her sons and daughters and killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women, and punishment was inflicted on her.

 11 "Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet in her lust and prostitution she was more depraved than her sister. 12 She too lusted after the Assyrians—governors and commanders, warriors in full dress, mounted horsemen, all handsome young men. 13 I saw that she too defiled herself; both of them went the same way.

 14 "But she carried her prostitution still further. She saw men portrayed on a wall, figures of Chaldeans portrayed in red, 15 with belts around their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like Babylonian chariot officers, natives of Chaldea. 16 As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea. 17 Then the Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and in their lust they defiled her. After she had been defiled by them, she turned away from them in disgust. 18 When she carried on her prostitution openly and exposed her nakedness, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister. 19 Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. 20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. 21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled. Ezekiel 23:1-21 (New International Version). 

Is it really the word of God?

Can a chaste and moral woman read it loudly to her family?

The sexual details, the lewdness and the filth will put her to shame.

Can a decent person read this story to his mother, sister or daughter?

Let us love! My husband is not at home

We find a large quantity of the sex literature in the Holy Bible . The Bible tells a story about a womam, wily of heart, who persuades a young man with much seductive speech. She compels him with her smooth talk to follow her. All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter.

13 She took hold of him and kissed him 

 and with a brazen face she said:

18 Come, let's drink deep of love till morning; 

 let's enjoy ourselves with love!

 19 My husband is not at home; 

  he has gone on a long journey.

Proverbs 7:13, 18, 19 (New International Version). 

“When the cat is away

mice will play”

Is the Bible a book of flirtation?

Is the Bible a book of love?

Can the professional preachers, hot gospeller and Bible – thumpers

explain that what is the moral in it?

Here is the proof of my daughter's virginity!

13 If a man takes a wife and, after lying with her, dislikes her

14 and slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, "I married this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity,"

15 then the girl's father and mother shall bring proof that she was a virgin to the town elders at the gate.

16 The girl's father will say to the elders, "I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her.

17 Now he has slandered her and said, 'I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.' But here is the proof of my daughter's virginity." Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town,

18 and the elders shall take the man and punish him.

(The Holy Bible, New International Version, Deuteronomy 22:13-18)

What is this piece of cloth the parents of the girl are displaying before the elders of the town?

Is it really the word of God?

Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise

These laws however are not GOD Almighty's Laws, even though they are considered as such. These are old Jewish Laws.

 Bastard, bastard and bastard

The word”Bastard” is very common in the Holy Bible.

 8But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Hebrews 12:8 (King James Version)

2A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD. Deuteronomy 23:2 (King James Version)

Naked on the naked earth!

I will gather them against you from all around and will strip you in front of them, and they will see all your nakedness. 38 I will sentence you to the punishment of women who commit adultery and who shed blood; I will bring upon you the blood vengeance of my wrath and jealous anger. 39 Then I will hand you over to your lovers, and they will tear down your mounds and destroy your lofty shrines. They will strip you of your clothes and take your fine jewelry and leave you naked and bare. Ezekiel 16:35-39 (New International Version)

David dances naked

Exposes himself to the slave girls 

20 When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, "How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, disrobing in the sight of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!" 2 Samuel 6:20 (New International Version)

They will leave you naked and bare

Is it the word of God?

Go naked for three years!

The Lord himself apparently commands his servant to go naked for three year.

2 at that time the LORD spoke through Isaiah son of Amoz. He said to him, "Take off the sackcloth from your body and the sandals from your feet." And he did so, going around stripped and barefoot.

 3 Then the LORD said, "Just as my servant Isaiah has gone stripped and barefoot for three years, as a sign and portent against Egypt and Cush, [a] 4 so the king of Assyria will lead away stripped and barefoot the Egyptian captives and Cushite exiles, young and old, with buttocks bared—to Egypt's shame. Isaiah 20:2-4 (New International Version)

Lay down naked all that day and all that night

24 And he also stripped off his clothes and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”[a] 1 Samuel 19:24 (New King James Version)

You looked on their nakedness

       and you looked on their nakedness.

Isaiah 57:8 (New International Version)

You were naked and bare

7 I made you grow like a plant of the field. You grew up and developed and became the most beautiful of jewels. [a] Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, you who were naked and bare.

Seven Jewish exorcists fled out naked

 13Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, "In the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out." 14Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. 15(One day) the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?" 16Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding. Acts 19:13-16, (New International Version)

The adulteries from between her breasts

Onanism

The word “onanism “means “masturbation “. It was derived from the name ONAN , Who had been masturbating .The Christian sexologist have immortalized him by referring to “ coitus interrupts “ , as Onanism in their “Books of Sex “.

 8 Then Judah said to Onan, "Lie with your brother's wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to produce offspring for your brother." 9 But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so whenever he lay with his brother's wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from producing offspring for his brother. Genesis 38:8-9 (New International Version)

Is it the word of God?  

How badly does this story hurt the sacred relation

between the brother and the sister - in law?

The Holy Bible tells us the above mentioned filthy and dirty story about Onan, who did not give his “ seed “ to his sister - in - law Tamar but spilled it on the ground. The Bible does not allow sexual relation between a man and his brother’s wife: 

 Punishment for this crime

21 " 'If a man marries his brother's wife, it is an act of impurity; he has dishonored his brother. They will be childless. Leviticus 20:21 (New International Version)

Does God make people fall in adultery?

17 "Therefore this is what the LORD says: 

       " 'Your wife will become a prostitute in the city 

(Amos7:17 New International Version)

Shame is en ornament

Marriage with one and the Honeymoon with another

30 “You shall betroth a wife, but another man shall lie with her; you shall build a house, but you shall not dwell in it; you shall plant a vineyard, but shall not gather its grapes. Deuteronomy 28:30 (New King James Version)

I will give their wives to other men

10 Therefore I will give their wives to other men.

Jeremiah 8:10 (New International Version)

Take to yourself an adulterous wife

      2 When the LORD began to speak through Hosea, the LORD said to him, "Go, take to yourself an adulterous wife and children of unfaithfulness, because the land is guilty of the vilest adultery in departing from the LORD." HOSEA 1:2 (New King James Version)

Is it the word of God?

Take a wife in her virginity

God say:”13And he shall take a wife in her virginity. 14A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife”. Leviticus 21:13-14 (King James Version)

Love an adulteress woman, who is loved by a lover!

 1 Then the LORD said to me, “Go again, love a woman who is loved by a lover[a] and is committing adultery, just like the love of the LORD for the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans.” Hosea 3:1 (New King James Version)

The Bible and the evil woman!

8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house (Proverbs5:8). 20And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? Proverbs5:20 (King James Version) 24Tokeep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. 26and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. Proverbs 6:24-29 26For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.27Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death. (Proverbs 7:26-27). Is it fair? Jesus says:” 28But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Matthew 5:28 (King James Version)

Jesus and the evil woman!

Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. 2(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) 5Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. (John 11:1-5) King James Version33”For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. 34The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! 37And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, 38And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 39Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner”. Luke 7:33-39 (King James Version)

She shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms

She shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. Isaiah 23:17 (King James Version)

But you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers

 1 " But you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers

— 

       would you now return to me?" 

       declares the LORD.

2 "Look up to the barren heights and see. 

       Is there any place where you have not been ravished? 

       By the roadside you sat waiting for lovers, 

       sat like a nomad in the desert. 

       

You have defiled the land 

       with your prostitution and wickedness.

3 Therefore the showers have been withheld, 

       and no spring rains have fallen. 

       

Yet you have the brazen look of a prostitute; 

       you refuse to blush with shame.

13 Only acknowledge your guilt— 

       you have rebelled against the LORD your God, 

       you have scattered your favors to foreign gods 

       under every spreading tree, 

       and have not obeyed me,' " 

       declares the LORD.

Everything also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean and on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest. Isn’t open discrimination between man and woman?

Break the vessel of earth!

12And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the issue, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.16And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.

Incest (Sexual commerce of near kindred) in the Holy Bible

Daughters seduce their father (Lot)

30And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.

 31And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:   32Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.   33And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.   34And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.   35And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.   36Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.   37And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.

 38And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day. Genesis 19:30-38 (King James Version)

They are telling a lie

31And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:

Abraham’s Family was there

Absalom lay with his father's concubines

David’s son Absalom sleeps with his father’s concubine but the King David orders the commanders to be gentle with his son for his sake.

22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he lay with his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel. 2 Samuel 16:22 (New International Version).

33 The king was shaken. He went up to the room over the gateway and wept. As he went, he said: "O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you—O Absalom, my son, my son!" 2 Samuel 18:33 (New International Version)

Sexual intercourse with his father’s concubine

22 And it happened, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine; and Israel heard about it. Genesis 35:22 (New King James Version). Jacob didn’t punish his son, Reuben but said:

      Because you went up to your father’s bed; 

      Then you defiled it— 

      He went up to my couch.Genesis 49:4 (New King James Version)

Amnon rapes his sister!

Amnon and Tamar

 1 After this Absalom the son of David had a lovely sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. 2 Amnon was so distressed over his sister Tamar that he became sick; for she was a virgin. And it was improper for Amnon to do anything to her. 3 But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother. Now Jonadab was a very crafty man. 4 And he said to him, “Why are you, the king’s son, becoming thinner day after day? Will you not tell me?”

Amnon said to him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.” 

5 So Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill. And when your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me food, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat it from her hand.’” 6 Then Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please let Tamar my sister come and make a couple of cakes for me in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.” 

7 And David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Now go to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.” 8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was lying down. Then she took flour and kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes. 9 And she took the pan and placed them out before him, but he refused to eat. Then Amnon said, “Have everyone go out from me.” And they all went out from him. 10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, that I may eat from your hand.” And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to Amnon her brother in the bedroom. 11 Now when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister.” 

12 But she answered him, “No, my brother, do not force me, for no such thing should be done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing! 13 And I, where could I take my shame? And as for you, you would be like one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you.” 14However, he would not heed her voice; and being stronger than she, he forced her and lay with her. 

15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, “Arise, be gone!” 2 Samuel 13:1-15 (New King James Version).

Put this woman out!

17 Then he called his servant who attended him, and said, “Here! Put this woman out, away from me, and bolt the door behind her.” 2 Samuel 13:17 (New King James Version)

Do not take this thing to heart my sister!

20 And Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother; do not take this thing to heart.” So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom house. 2 Samuel 13:20 (New King James Version)

David doted Amnon!

 21-22 King David heard the whole story and was enraged, but he didn't discipline Amnon. David doted on him because he was his firstborn. Absalom quit speaking to Amnon—not a word, whether good or bad—because he hated him for violating his sister Tamar. 2 Samuel 13:21-22 (The Message)

What was the punishment for this crime?

17 ‘If a man takes his sister, his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, and sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness, it is a wicked thing. And they shall be cut off in the sight of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness. He shall bear his guilt. Leviticus 20:17 (New King James Version)

David’s love affair with his neighbor!

 2-5 One late afternoon, David got up from taking his nap and was strolling on the roof of the palace. From his vantage point on the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was stunningly beautiful. David sent to ask about her, and was told, "Isn't this Bathsheba, daughter of Eliam and wife of Uriah the Hittite?"David sent his agents to get her. After she arrived, he went to bed with her.(This occurred during the time of "purification" following her period.) Then she returned home. Before long she realized she was pregnant.      Later she sent word to David: "I'm pregnant." 2 Samuel 11:2-5 (The Message)

What was the punishment for this crime?

10 ‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress, shall surely be put to death. Leviticus 20:10 (New King James Version).

Sexual intercourse with her father-in-law

Tamar plays the role of a harlot in order to have sexual intercourse with her father-in-law. She conceives and twins are born.

13 And it was told Tamar, saying, “Look, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.” 14 So she took off her widow’s garments, covered herself with a veil and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place which was on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as a wife.15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a harlot, because she had covered her face. 16 Then he turned to her by the way, and said, “Please let me come in to you”; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. 

So she said, “What will you give me, that you may come in to me?” 

17 And he said, “I will send a young goat from the flock.” 

So she said, “Will you give me a pledge till you send it?” 

18 Then he said, “What pledge shall I give you?” 

So she said, “Your signet and cord, and your staff that is in your hand.” Then he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him. 19 So she arose and went away, and laid aside her veil and put on the garments of her widowhood.

 26 So Judah acknowledged them and said, “She has been more righteous than I, because I did not give her to Shelah my son.” And he never knew her again. 

27 Now it came to pass, at the time for giving birth, that behold, twins were in her womb. 28 And so it was, when she was giving birth, that the one put out his hand; and the midwife took a scarlet thread and bound it on his hand, saying, “This one came out first.” 29 Then it happened, as he drew back his hand, that his brother came out unexpectedly; and she said, “How did you break through? This breach be upon you!” Therefore his name was called Perez.[a] 30 Afterward his brother came out who had the scarlet thread on his hand. And his name was called Zerah.

Genesis 38:13-19, 26-30 (New King James Version)

What was the punishment for this crime?

12 If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death. They have committed perversion. Their blood shall be upon them. Leviticus 20:12 (New King James Version). It is a bitter fact that these punishments were not given to the above mentioned criminals. Why?

No decent reader can read these filthy stories to his mother, sister daughter or any chaste and moral woman. These sexual details will put them to shame.

All prophets were sent by God for the guidance of mankind, but why are the Israelite prophets like Judah, David etc. Are stamped with rape, adultery, incest or prostitution in the Bible? Had God sent the wrong people for guidance?

Decide yourselves:  “is the Bible word of God or word of man?

Which girls were virgins?

17Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. 18But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. Numbers 31:17-18. (How did they determine which girls were virgins, and what did they do with them after they kept them alive for themselves?)

32,000 virgins were taken

 31And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses. 32And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught 35And thirty and two thousand persons in all, Numbers 31:31-40 

How did they find out that these women had not known man by lying with him?

Take "beautiful woman” from the enemy as your wife

(If a man has no delight in her after marriage, then she can go)

She shall shave her head, and pare her nails;

10When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive, 11And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife; 12Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails; 13and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife. 14And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; Deuteronomy 21:10-14 

If you love me let me know

If you don’t let me go

With the Lord's approval, the Israelites are allowed to capture”beautiful women" from the enemy camp to be their trial wives. If, after having sexual relations, a man has "no delight" in his wife, he can simply let her go 

Is it the word of God?

A sexual contest with "fair young virgins"

 King Ahasuerus holds a sexual contest with "fair young virgins" to pick a new Queen (after having been spurned by Queen Vashti).

2 Then the king’s servants who attended him said: “Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king; 3 and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather all the beautiful young virgins to Shushan the citadel, into the women’s quarters, under the custody of Hegai[a] the king’s eunuch, custodian of the women. And let beauty preparations be given them. 4 Then let the young woman who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti.”

This thing pleased the king, and he did so. 

8 So it was, when the king’s command and decree were heard, and when many young women were gathered at Shushan the citadel, under the custody of Hegai, that Esther also was taken to the king’s palace, 

12 Each young woman’s turn came to go in to King Ahasuerus after she had completed twelve months’ preparation, according to the regulations for the women, for thus were the days of their preparation apportioned: six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfumes and preparations for beautifying women. 13 Thus prepared, each young woman went to the king, and she was given whatever she desired to take with her from the women’s quarters to the king’s palace. 14 In the evening she went, and in the morning she returned to the second house of the women 17 The king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so he set the royal crown upon her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. Esther 2:2-17 (New King James Version)

She’s beautiful and therefore

                 To be woo’d:

She is a woman, therefore

Kill every male and every woman who is not a virgin 

How did they determine which girls were virgins?

10 So the congregation sent out there twelve thousand of their most valiant men, and commanded them, saying, “Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, including the women and children. 

11 And this is the thing that you shall do: You shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has known a man intimately.” 12 So they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead four hundred young virgins who had not known a man intimately; and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan. Judges 21:11-12 (New King James Version). (How did they determine which girls were virgins?)

When they come out to perform their dances catch them

19 Then they said, “In fact, there is a yearly feast of the LORD in Shiloh, which isnorth of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and south of Lebonah.” 

20 Therefore they instructed the children of Benjamin, saying, “Go, lie in wait in the vineyards, 21 and watch; and just when the daughters of Shiloh come out to perform their dances, then come out from the vineyards, and every man catch a wife for himself from the daughters of Shiloh; then go to the land of Benjamin. Judges 21:19-21 (New King James Version)

The wife of Joseph's master asks him: “Lie with me.”

She claims that Joseph tried to rape her

Joseph a Slave in Egypt

 1 Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him down there. 

Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. 

7 And it came to pass after these things that his master’s wife cast longing eyes on Joseph, and she said, “Lie with me.” 

8 But he refused and said to his master’s wife, 

10 So it was, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not heed her, to lie with her or to be with her. 

11 But it happened about this time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside, 12 that she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside. 13 And so it was, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside, 14 that she called to the men of her house and spoke to them, saying, “See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice. 15 And it happened, when he heard that I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went outside.” 

16 So she kept his garment with her until his master came home. 17 Then she spoke to him with words like these, saying, “The Hebrew servant whom you brought to us came in to me to mock me; 18 so it happened, as I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me and fled outside.

Any that pisseth against the wall

 22 So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall. 1 Samuel 25:22-23 (King James Version)

David could not get warm with a caring lovely woman!

1 Now King David was old, advanced in years; and they put covers on him, but he could not get warm. 2 Therefore his servants said to him, “Let a young woman, a virgin, be sought for our lord the king, and let her stand before the king, and let her care for him; and let her lie in your bosom, that our lord the king may be warm.” 3 So they sought for a lovely young woman throughout all the territory of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king. 4 The young woman was very lovely; and she cared for the king, and served him; but the king did not know her. 1 Kings 1:1-4 (New King James Version).

David was old, and although covered with clothes, could not get warm. A beautiful, young virgin is brought in to be his concubine and nurse. But alas, he was so old and infirm that he "knew her not."

Not allowed without a penis or crushed testicles!

 1 [a]“If a man’s testicles are crushed or his penis is cut off, he may not be admitted to the assembly of the Lord. Deuteronomy 23:1 (New Living Translation)

To catch other man’s penis in strife!

11 If two men are fighting and one man's wife comes to save her husband from his attacker, grabbing the attacker by his sex organs,12 you must cut off her hand. Show her no mercy. Deuteronomy 25:11-12 (New Century Version)

"Testicle" "testify,"”testament," and have the same root

Testicles, or "stones"

24 You must not offer to the LORD an animal whose testicles are bruised, crushed, torn or cut. You must not do this in your own land, Leviticus 22:24 (New International Version)

20Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; Leviticus 21:20 (King James Version)

 2Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his household, who had (A)charge of all that he owned, "(B)Please place your hand under my thigh,9So the servant(A)placed his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter. 29 When the time drew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “Now if I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please do not bury me in Egypt,

 Genesis 24:2, 47:29 (New American Standard Bible)

"... put your hand under my thigh, and I will make you swear by the Lord ...." (This means "put your hand under my testicles," which is the manner in which oaths were taken at the time; "testament," "testify," and "testicle" have the same root.).

Not allowed without a penis or wounded in the stones!

 1"(A)No one who is emasculated or has his male organ cut off shall enter the assembly of the LORD. Deuteronomy 23:1 (New American Standard Bible)

Shechem violated Dinah

1 Now Dinah, the Shechem violated Dinah. Daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land. 2 When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of that area, saw her, he took her and violated her. 3 His heart was drawn to Dinah daughter of Jacob, and he loved the girl Genesis 34:1-2 (New International Version)

 Can the professional preachers, hot gospeller and Bible - thumpers explain that what is the moral in it?

What is the moral lesson shall we learn from these dirty and filthy stories?

Can a decent person read these texts to his mother, sister or daughter?

Please ask yourself!

Is it the word of God?

Modesty is the conscience of the body.

26 Nor shall you go up by steps to My altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed on it.’ Exodus 20:26 (New King James Version)

”Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”

James 4:7 (New King James Version)

What The Bible Teaches?!

The Bible teaches that if a woman gives birth to a boy she goes through a period of ritual uncleanness for 40 days, however, if it’s a girl then she has to go through a period of 80 days (double the period) of UNCLEANNESS! What does this imply if not that women are unclean and causes uncleanness more than men?

“WHEN A WOMAN GIVES BIRTH AND BEARS A MALE CHILD, THEN SHE SHALL BE UNCLEAN FOR SEVEN DAYS, as in the days of her menstruation she shall be unclean. ‘On the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. THEN SHE SHALL REMAIN IN THE BLOOD OF HER PURIFICATION FOR THIRTY-THREE DAYS; she shall not touch any consecrated thing, nor enter the sanctuary until the days of her purification are completed. BUT IF SHE BEARS A FEMALE CHILD, THENSHE SHALL BE UNCLEAN FOR TWO WEEKS, as in her menstruation; AND SHE SHALL REMAIN IN THE BLOOD OF HER PURIFICATION FOR SIXTY-SIX DAYS.” (Leviticus 12:1-5)

This idea that women are worth less than man is seen in the following passage also

“‘If your valuation is of the male from twenty years even to sixty years old, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.’Or if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.”

For a male child he would be counted with the value of 50 shekels and the woman will be valued at 30 shekels which is 20 less than the former. Who’s superior and more valuable?-------

None of these weird teachings are to be found anywhere in the Qur’an or Sunnah. Neither men nor women are valued with shekels or dinars or dollars. 

And the passage about cleanliness and non-cleanliness for male and female children is an instigation against the status of women. The Qur’an teaches

“O people! be careful of (your duty to) your Lord, Who created you from a single being and created its mate of the same (kind) and spread from these two, many men and women; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, by Whom you demand one of another (your rights), and (to) the ties of relationship; surely Allah ever watches over you.” (Qur’an 4:1)

“And whoever does good deeds whether male or female and he (or she) is a believer — these shall enter the garden, and they shall not be dealt with a jot unjustly.” (Qur’an 4:124)

“Whoever does good whether male or female and he is a believer, We will most certainly make him live a happy life, and We will most certainly give them their reward for the best of what they did.” (Qur’an 16:97)

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) taught about daughters that “Whosoever supports two daughters till they mature, he and I will come in the day of judgment as this (and he pointed with his two fingers held together).”

(But do Christians really believe in their Bible?)

In Numbers 23:19:

In Job 9:32:

In Hosea 11:9:

"I will not carry out my fierce anger, nor will I turn and devastate Ephraim.✔ FOR I AM GOD, AND NOT MAN - the Holy One among you. I will not come in wrath."

☞ Jesus confess in "John" from HIMSELF that he is a MAN.

John 8:40: Jesus said:

"As it is, you are determined to kill me, ☞ A MAN who has told you the truth that I HEARD FROM GOD."

In Acts 2:22

"Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was ☞ A MAN accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know."

(Holy Qur’ân 5:78)

Is Jesus God?

During a conversation with a Christian missionary, a Muslim scholar asked him if he believed Jesus was God. The missionary said "Yes. Jesus is God."

Muslim scholar said: "Jesus never said he was God." The missionary taken back said, "What! He did." Muslim scholar asked: "Can you show me?"

The missionary started opening his bible and then with a victorious smile, he opens John 10:30. He says here you go. In John 10:30, Jesus says "I and my Father are one."Muslim scholar asked him: "What does that mean?" The missionary said: "It means Jesus is saying that he is God." Muslim scholar asked: "Why do you say that?" The missionary said: "Jesus is saying that he and God are one. Isn't it obvious?" Muslim scholar asked: "

So if Jesus says both are one then it means Jesus is God, am I right? The missionary said: "Absolutely. There is no doubt about it!" Muslim scholar asked: "So if someone is called one with God, then it means he is God, am I right? Themissionary victoriously said: "Yes. Look, I showed you what you wanted and this is my proof and that's all I need.

"So the Muslim scholar agreed with him for the sake of argument and asked him to open, John 17:21-22. In John 17:21, Jesus says" That they (disciplines) all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they (12 disciplines) also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And further in John 17:22, Jesus says" And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them (12 disciplines); that they may be one, even as we are one: And further in John 17:23, Jesus says : "I in them (12 disciplines), and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me."

After reading this, the missionary slowly realized what he had got himself into. Muslim scholar said: "Now, Jesus says that God, Jesus and the 12 disciplines are one." The missionary was clearly cornered and said, "No, no." Muslim scholar asked: "Why not?"He was silent with his head down. Muslim scholar asked:" Does that mean God and Jesus and the 12 disciplines are one?" "Does that mean the 12 disciplines are also God?" "Does that mean Judas the traitor was also God?" "Do you believe in 14 Gods?" The missionary had no reply.

Every soul shall have a taste of Death!

In the end to Us shall you be brought back. (29:57)
 The subject of death scares us beause we don’t know much about it nor the life in the grave and the life after death. We all know we will one day die but few are willing to discuss the details of what happens thereafter. We are afraid because of our own ignorance; because what is to come is unseen and unfamiliar…and we are unprepared.

  Say: “The Angel of Death, put in charge of you, will (duly) take your souls: then shall you be brought back to your Lord. (32:11) Our biological make-up on this planet is not fit for the place of our roots – namely Heavan or Hell. There is no way we can enter Heavan with the flesh we are made of. Hence, the grave is a centre of transformation: a center of preparation and resynthesis of the body of the individual to be ready for recreation. It should be stated here that everyone one of us is to die even if we hide ourselves anywhere in the world; or even if we try to protect ourselves.

  Death is a fact of life. Allah sends a special Angel i.e. Angel of Death whose nickname is ‘Izraeel’ to take the soul out of the flesh. Refer to Surah Al-Sajdah:

  Say: The Angel of Death, put in charge of you, will (duly) take your souls: Then shall you be brought back to your Lord. (32:11) This angel knows us better than our parents know us. He knows where we are and how we are to die. His main responsibilities is extracting the soul out of the flesh. He can enter any and every place where a person is to die, in order to perform his duty, even if we hide ourselves in fortresses. In Surah Al-Nisaa’(The Women) Allah says the following:

  Wherever you are, death will find you out, even if you are towers built up strong and high. (4:78) As far as the removal of the soul from the flesh is concerned, the Angel of Death will extract it from good people with ease. For those who are bad, the removal of the soul is tough and difficult. The Qur’anic expression for the removal of the soul from hypocrites and disbelievers is horrifying: More than one angel are to work together. They beat the face and back of the deceased while extracting the soul, otherwise, it will come out with difficulty. Allah says in Surah Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War) the following:

  If you could see, when the angels take the souls of the unbelievers (at death), how they smite their faces and their backs, saying: taste the penalty of the blazing fire. Because of the deeds which your own hands sent forth: For God is never unjust to his servants. (8:50-51) The Hadith of the Prophet about extracting the soul from the flesh of bad people is summarized as follows: Al-Baraa’Ibn ‘Azib narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: If an unbelieving servant is more concerned with the worldly life than he is about the other life, tarfaced angels descend from the sky. These angels, who are carrying bad smelling fragrance, sit in near proximity tot he dying unbeliever. Then the Angel of Death descends and places himself near the head of the unbeliever.

The Angel of Death says: ‘O bad soul! Come out to Allah’s curse and anger.’ The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: The soul disperses in the dying person’s body. The Angel of Death grabs the soul like a sufud (a piece of metal stuck in wet wool). The Angel of Death takes the soul without letting it stay in his hand for even an instance. Then the angels put a rough garment that smells bad on the deceased’s soul. The soul comes out having a very foul smell. For those who are good, the Quran informs us that the extraction and pulling out the soul from flesh is very easy. The dying person will not feel the pain from the removal of the soul from his body. It will be as easy as pulling a strand of hair out of some dough. The Hadith of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) narrated by Al-Baraa’Ibn ‘Azib states the following:

 If the believing servant refrains from coverting material things in his temporal life and desires the hereafter, white-faced angels descend from the sky. Their faces shine as brightly as the sun. They carry with them funeral garb and hanut (fragrance) from Heavan. They sit in near proximity to the dying person. The Angel of Death (may Allah bless him) comes and sits near the dying person’s head, saying: O good soul, come out to Allah’s mercy and forgiveness. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, The soul comes out like a drop of water being poured out. Then the Angel takes the soul, without letting it stand in his hand; releases it like a blink. The other angels take the soul and clothe it in funeral gard and hanut. From that soul comes the best smell, one resembling the best musk on earth.

Before the Last Hour The Appearance of the Dajjal The Descent of the Prophet Esa (Jesus) The Great Battel

 The Dajjal or the false Messiah will appear as the end of the world approaches. The tinH:: he stays will be the time of immense trial for all humanity. Although all of Allaah's Prophets had warned their people about him, our Prophet Muhammed (May the Peace and Blessings of A1laah be upon.him) was particularly concerned for his Ummah about him. This is because the Prophet knew that since he is the last of the Prophets, the Dajjal will undoubtedly appear during the time of his Ummah. He said: "There wI!! be no greater tribulation on the face of the earth since the time Allaah created the chIldren of Adam than the Dajjal. Verily, no Prophet was sent who did not warn his people from the Dajjal, and I am the last of the Prophets, and you are the last of the nations, and so he will inevitably appear from amongst you."



The State of Muslims before the appearance of The Dajjal 
 Just before the appearance of the Dajjal the Muslms will be at the peak of their military power, and it seems to be that his purpose will be to destroy this power. At that time, the Muslims will make a peace treaty with the Romans, and together they will conquer and win, but the Romans will break the treaty. The Messenger of Allah informed us: "You will make a peace treaty with the Romans and together you will invade an enemy beyond Rome. You WIll be victorious and take much booty. Then you will camp in a hilly pasture when one of the Romans will come and raise a cross and say, 'Victory to the Cross: so one of the Muslims will come and kill him. Then the Romans will brcak the treaty and prepare for al-Malhanah (the great battle).


The Great battle with The Romans
 This great battle beween the Muslims and the Christiarrs, which the previous Hadeeth mentioned, is also described in numerous other Hadeeths. There will be among the ranks of the Muslims a large number of men who will abandon Christianity to embrace Islam and become best of the Muslims, and the Christians will especially go after them. The Propher *, ' The Hour will not come until the Romans (i.e. the Christians) camp at Al' A'mag or Dabig. An army, composed of the best people on eorlh at that fime, will come out of lrladinah to meet them- When they arrange themselves with ranks' the Romans will say: Do- not stand between us and those who took prisoners from amongst us. Let us fight them. The Muslims will say, -No by Allaah, we wtll not stand aside and let you fight our brothers." Then they wtll fight. One third will run away, and Allaah will never forgive them, one third will be killed and will be the best of the martyrs in the Sight of Allaah. Another third, who have never been subject to trials, will win and conquer Constantinople. After they hang their swordS on the olive trees and begin to divide the booty.

Satan will shout to them that the Dajjal has taken their place among their family. They will run out but will find that it is not true. However, when they reach AI-Shan?, the Dajjal will appear. While they are preparing to fight him, and drawing up their ranks, prayer time will come and then, Easa the son of Maryam will descencl.' The Messenger of Allaah has talked at Iength about Malhamah (or great battle) and how terrible it will be. and the great sense of sacrifice the Muslims will display. He said, 'The Hour will not come until the people will not be able to divide inheritance, nor rejoice over booty. Pointing towards AI-Sham, he said: "An enemy will gather forces against the Muslims, and the Muslims will gather forces against them." A companion asked: "Do you mean the Romans?" He said: "Yes, and at that time there will be terrible fighting.

The Muslims will prepare a detachment to fight to death, and they will not return unless they are victorious. They will fight until night intervenes, both Sides will take booty but none will be victorious, and the detachment will perish. Then the Muslims will prepare mother detachment to fight to death, and not return unless they are victorious. They will fight until night intervenes, both Sides will take booty but none will be victorious... On the fourth day, the Muslims who are left will return to fight, and Allaah will make their enemy to be defeated. There will be a battle the like of which has never been seen, so that even if a bird were to pass their ranks, it will fall dead before it reaches the end of them. Out of a family of one hundred, only one man will survive.


The Features of The Dajjal
 Although the Dajjal will claim that he is Allaah, and will perform mighty acts to convince people of his claim. he will have some physical features that will undoubtedly show his defects, and every true believer will not fail to recognize them. The Prophet has described them at length. The Prophet said "He is bulky, red face, with curly hairs, one eyed, his other eye looks like a floating grape... The man who looks closest to him is Ibn Qatan from Khuza'ah." The Prophet has also said: "I have told so much about the Dajjal until I feared that you might not comprehend. The Dajjal is a short man, bowlegged, with curly hair, one eyed. His eye is extinguished, it is neither protruding nor deep-seated. ff you are confused, know that your Lord is not one eyed, and that you will never see your Lord (in this world)! The Prophet has extensively described the Dajjal's eye because it will be plain for everybody to notice. His other defect is obvious only to the believers, as Prophet said, "Allah did not send any Prophet but that he warned his nation of the one-eyed liar (Ad-Dajjal). He is one-eyed while your Lord is not one-eyed And written between his two eyes is - Kaf, Fa: Raa ('Kaafir' or unbeliever These words will be actually written between his eyes, and they not be an allusion, because the Prophet has spelled them out, but they will be seen only by the believers whether they know how to read or not, as mentioned in the following Hadeeth, "On his forehead will be written the word Kafir, and every believer, whether literate or illiterate, will be able to read it


The Capabilities of the Dajjal in spreading Tormoil
 The Dajjal will claim to be Allaah. and he will be given certain extraordinary capabilities that will subject people to great trials. Some of his capabilities include:
  1. He will move with great swiftness around the earth: The Prophet'* described his movement to be: "like a cloud driven by the wind." He also said,: "there is no place he will not visif except Makkah and Madinah.

  2. He will have a river of water and river of fire: The Messerrger of Allaah has informed us, "He (the Dajjal) will have two flowing rivers. One will appear fo be pure water and the other will appear to be flaming fire. Whosoever lives to see that, let him choose the river that seems to be fire, then let him clase his eyes and drink from it, for it will be cold water." The Prophet also said: "He has cool water and fire, but his water is fire and his fire is cool water."

  3. He will get help from the devils: -He will say to a Bedouin: 'What will you think if I bring your father and mother back to life for you? Will you bear witness that I am your Lord?' The Bedouin will say, 'Yes: so the two devils will assume the appearance of his father and mother and will say: '0 son, follow him, for he is your lord." This is another proof that Dajjal is a disbeliever and an evil man, because the devils do not lead their help except to the worst of evil men.

  4. Animals and objects rnrill execute his order: 'He will come to the people and invite then (to a wrong religion); they will affirm their faith in him and respond fo him. He will then give a command to the sky: there will be rainfall upon the Earth and it will grow crops. Then in the evening, their pasturing animals will come to them with their humps very high, their udders full of milk and their flank distended. He will then come to another people and invita them. But they will reject him so he will go away from them: they will have a drought and nothing.will be left with them in the form of wealth. He will then walk through the desert and say to it: Bring forth your treasures. The treasures will come out and gather before him like a swarm of bees." The Dajjal's time will be a time of extreme trials as Allaah created him to be a test for people. Only those people whose faith is strong will resist the great temptation, and the might of the Dajjal. He will rule on earth for forty days but they would not be like the days we are accustomed to. When the Messenger of Allaah was asked about Dajjal's stay on the earth, he said, "For forty days, one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of the days will be like your days." The Sahabah (the Companions of the Prophet) who were always concerned about matters of faith and worship asked, "O Allah's Messenger. will one day's prayer suffice for the prayers of the day equal to one year? There upon he said: No, but you must make an estimate of the time (and then observe prayer)

 This means that the day will be truly lengthened, and it will not be merely due to people's imagination. During these days he will roam the earth and visit every place except Makkah and Madinah, as the Prophet said: "Madinah will not see the terror of Dajjal, for it will have, at that time seven gates with every gate guarded by two angles

 These two holy places will also be cleaned from all disbeliever who will then come out to follow Dajjal, as mentioned by the Prophet, 'There will be no fown that Dajjal will not visit, except Makkah and Madina, for all their gates will be guarded by angels surrounding them. 5o he will camp at the salt morsh (near Madina). Madina will be shaken by three tremors, after which cvety disbeliever and hypocrite will leave it."t8 Most of the Dajjal's followers will be from the Jews, "The Daiial sould bc followed by scventy thousand ,fews of Isfahan wearing Persian shawls The reason is that the Jews will believe him to be a miracle from Allaah and will return to them their Kingdom. They will call him the Messiah, son of David.




The Dajjal is alive and imprisoned in an isolated Island 
 The Messenger of Allaah once gathered the Muslims in the Masjid (mosque) and said: have detained you here because Tamim Dari, a Christian who came and accepted Islan, told me something which agrees with what I was telling you about the Dajjal. He narrated fo me that he had sailed in a ship with thirty men of Banu Lakhm and Banu Judham and had been tossed by waves in the oceon for a month. Then these (waves) took them (near) the land within the ocean (island) at the tine of sunset. They sat in a small rowing-boat and landed on that island. There was a beast with long thick hair (and because of this) they could not distinguish his face from his back. They said, 'Woe to you, who can you be? Thereupon it said, "I am al-Jassasah" They said, 'What is al-Jassasah?" It'said, 'O people, go to this person in the monastery as he is very much eager fo know about you." He (the narrator) said, 'When it named a person for us we were afraid of it lest it should be a Devil'. Then we hurried on till we came to that monastery and found a well-built person there with his hands tied to his neck and iron shackles gripping his legs by the ankles. We said, 'Woe to you, who are you?" He said, 'You soon come fo know about me, but tell me who you are', We said, 'We are people from Arabia and we embarked upon a boat but the waves had been driving us for one month and they brought us near this island. We took to the rowing-boats and landed on this island.'[The travelers then explained that they were sent by al-Jassasah (the beast) to the cave] 5o we came to you in hot haste fearing that that night be the Devil.

 He (that chained person) said, "Tell me about the date-palm trees of Baysan". We said, "In which respect do you seek information about it?" He said, "I ask you whether these trees bear fruit or not". We said,'Yes Thereupon he said, 'I think these will not bear fruit" He then questioned, 'inform me about the lake of Tabariyyah?' We said, 'What do you want fo know about it?" He said, 'Is there water in it?" They said, 'There is an abundance of water in it' Thereupon he said,'I think it will soon dry up" He again said, 'inform me about the spring of Zughar." They said, 'What do you want to know about it?' 'He (the chained person) said, 'Is there water in it and does it irrigate (the land)?" . We said to him, 'Yes, there is an abundance of water in it and the inhabitants (of Madina) irrigate (land) wifh its help.' He said, 'Inform me about the unlettered Prophet; what has he done?' We said, 'He has left Mecca and has settled in Yathrib (Medina)' He said,'Do the Arabs fight agninst him?'We said"'Yes* He said,'How does he deal with him?' We informed him that he had overcome those in his neighborhood and they had submitted themselvas before him. Thereupon he said to us,'Had it actually happened?' We said, 'Yes' Thereupon he said, 'If it is so that is better for them that they show obedience to him. I am going to tell you about myself. I am 'the Dajjal and will be Soon permitted to leave. 5o I shall leave and travel in the land, and shall not spare any town where I shall not stay for forty nights except' Mecca and Medina: 'these two {places} are prohibited {areas} for me and I shall not attempt to enter either of them. An angel with a Sword in his hand will confront me and bar my way and there,.. will be an angels to guard every road leading to it. The Dajjal will finally be destroyed by Prophet 'Isa, who will descend to earth and spread peace.


The Descent of Isa [Easa]
 Prophet 'Isa (Jesus) son of Maryam, was raised up to heaven when the Jews wanted to crucify him. His ascension to heaven and his future return to earth are mentioned in the Qur'aan, "That they said (in boast): We killed the Messiah Isa ita, the son of Maryam, the Messenger of Allaah', but they killed him not nor crucified him, but the resemblance of Isa, was put to another man (and they killled that man), and those who differed from them are full in doubts. They have no certain knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely, they killed him not, but Allaah raised him up unto Him. And Allaah is ever all powerful, All Wise. And there is non-of the people of the Scripture but must believe in 'him before his death. And on the Day of Recurrection, he ('Isa) will be a witness against them"

 Isa (Jesus) will retum at the end of time, as stated in the Qur'aan, And he (Jesus) shall he a Sign of the Hour' Prophet 'Isa will descend at a time when the Muslims are experiencing the great hardships. He will come to their help and make the religion of Allaah prevail on earth. The Muslims will recognize him by the features, which Prophet Muhammed described him. He said, I am the closest of all the people of Isa, son of Maryam, for there is no Prophet between him and myself. He will come again and when you see him, you will recognize him. He is of medium height and his complexion is reddish-white, he will be wearing two garments, and his hair will look wet, although no water had gone through it.


The Time Prophet Isa [Easa] Will Descend
 The coming of Isa rrF will be a glad tiding for the Muslims  who stood firm and fought for the cause of Allaah and did not succumb to the temptation of Dajjal. At that time, the only two options for humanity will b€ to embrace Islam or die. -It will at this very time that Allah will send Christ, son of Mary. He will descend at the white minaret on the eastern side of Damascus, wearing two garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two Angels. When he lowers his head, there will fall beads of perspiration from his head, head when he raises it up, beads like pearls will scatter from it. Every non-believer who smells the odour of his body will die and his breath will reach as for as he is able to see. He will then search for him (Dajjal) until he catches hold of him at the gate of Ludd and kills him. Then a people whom Allah had protected will come to Jesus, son of Mary, and he will Wipe their faces and inform them of their ranks in Paradise. It will be under such conditions that Allah will reveal to Jesus these words, I have brought forth from among My servants such people against whom none will be able to fight: you take these people safely to Tur.

 He will descend when the Muslims who gather to fight the Dajjal are preparing their ranks for Fajr (morning) prayer, and their Imam had advanced to lead them. The Imam will then step back and ask Isa to advance and lead the prayer, but he will refuse. Prophet Muhammed informed us, "While their Imam is going forward to lead them in Fajr prayer, 'Isa son of Maryam will descend. The Imam will step back to let Isa lead people in prayer, but Isa will place his hands befween the mans shoulder and say, 'Go forward and lead the prayer for the iqamah (call to commence the prayer) was made for you, and so the Imam will lead people in prayer.' This symbolic gesture from 'Isa' to let the Imam lead the prayer will be to show that he will be following the true religion, Islam, and will not bring forth any rules different from the Islamic Shari'ah


Armageddon and the destruction of the Dajjal
 The first thing Prophet 'Isa will accomplish, will be to kill the Dajjal with his own hands, 'Afterwards (i.e. after the Imam finishes the prayer),'Isa will say,'Open the gate". They will open it and behind it will be the Dajjal and seven thousand ,Jews, each bearing a sword and a shield. When the Dajjal sees 'Isa, he will begin to dissolve like salt in water and will run away. Isa will say, 'You will remain alive until I strike you with my sword.' Isa will catch up with him at the eastern gate of Ludd and kill him, and the ,Jews will be defeated with the help of Allaah.' Therefore the first person to be killed at the hands of Isa will be the Dajjal. The Jews will be defeated with the help of Allaah. There will be no place for them to hide; they will not be able to hide behind any stone, wall, animal or tree-except the Box-thorn (al-Gharqadah), for it is of three trees. The Messenger of Allaah,* said, 'The Last Hour would not come unlass the Muslims will fight against the ,Jews and the Muslims would kill then until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stonc or a tree and a stone or a tree would say, 'O Muslim (or the servant of Allah) there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him: but the tree Qharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jervs." After killing the Dajjal and relieving people of his oppression, Isa will concentrate on the task he was sent to accomplish. This task will be to rule people with justice and equity by applying the Islamic Shari'ah, with which our noble Messenger, Muhammed * was sent to establish. He will abolish all practices that did not confirm to the Shari'ah, 'By the one Whose Hand my soul is, surely the son of ,Maryan will come down among you as a ruler. He will break the cross, kill the swine and abolish the .Jizyah. Wealth vill be in such abundance that no one will care about it, and the single Sajdah (prostration) will be better than the world and all that in it.' Isa will fight the disbelievers, and abolish all other religions until everybody worships Allaah.


Peace On Earth
 Bcforc the end of thc world, there will be last and decisive battle between the truth and falsehood. Truth will be triumph, and peace and prosperity will prevail on earth. In this great battle, Prophet Isa and the Muslims will be on one side, while the disbelievers, led by Daiial will bc on the other side.

 The Prophet said: 'During his (Isa's) time, Allaah will end every religion and sect other than Islam, and will destroy the Dajjal. Thcn peace and security will prevail on earth, so that the lions will graze with camels, tigers with cattle, and wolves with sheep. Children will be able to play with snakes without coming to any harm. Isa will remain on earth for forty years, then he will die, and the Muslims will pray on him."

 It will indeed be forty years of exceptional life on earth as portrayed by this Hadeeth, 'Peace will prevail and people will use their sword as sickles. Every harmful beast will be made harmless. The sky will send down rain in abundorce, and the earth will bring forth its blessings.'

 "Hatred will disappear. Every harmful animal will be made harmless, so-that the infant will put his hand into the snake's mouth without being harmed, and the little girl will be able to make the lion run away from her, the wolf will go among the sheep as if it were a sheep-dog. The earth will be filled with peace as a container is filled with water. People will be in complete agreement, and only Allaah will be worshipped. The earth will be like a Silver basin, and it will produce fruits so abundantly that a group of people will gather to eat a bunch of grapes or one pomegranate and will be satisfied. A bull will be worth so much of money, but a horse will be worth only a few Dirhams.

 People's activities will concentrate on plowing the land and bringing forth crops, and they will abandon fighting, to the point that the horse, which is used in the wars, will be much cheaper than the bull, which is used to plough the land. For forty years, humanity will experience such prosperity and peace it had never experienced before. Then Isa will die, and mankind will again plunge into the abyss of ignorance and apostasy to the end of time when the Hour will come upon the worst of people and destroy them.



How To Protect Oneself from the Dajjal
 The Dajjal will come at a time when the Muslims emerge victoriously from the Supreme Battle. His purpose will be to destroy the Islamic military power that will have defeated the strongest power on earth at that time, namely the Christians. However the Muslims will not put down their arms but they will prepare themselves to fight the Dajjal if he lives to witness him. by joining the Muslim forces under the banner of Jihaad for the sake of preserving the Deen. By no means the Muslim should come near the Dajjal even if he was sure of himself, because the Dajjal has so many temptations and tricks that could shake any strong faith. The Prophet, warned us, " Whoever hears about the Dajjal, should stay away from him, for by a man could come to him believing he is a strong Mu'min (believer), but then he follows him because of the doubts he will spread."

 The Messenger of Allaah has described the physical features, the deeds and the power of the Dajjal in great length so that it will be easy to recognize him. He has shown us the means to protect ourselves from the Dajjal. They are:

  1. Seeking refuge with Allaah from the tribulation of the Dajjal The Prophet commanded the Muslims to seek refuge with Allaah from the Dajjal in every prayer. He himself used to say this supplication at the end of each prayer after the last tashahhud, "Allahumma ini a'udhu bika min 'adhabi-I-Qabr, wa min 'adhabi-nnar, wa min fitnati-I-mahya wa-Imamat, wa min fitnati-I-masih ad-dajjal." Which means: 0 Allah! I seek refuge with You (0 Allaah) from the punishment in the grave and from the punishment of the Hell fire and from the afflictions of life and death, and the afflictions of AI-Masih Ad-Dajjal.

  2. Memorizing the first verse of Surat 'Al-KaM.': Whoever sees the Dajjal should recite the first ten verses of Surat 'al-Kahf (Soorah l8 of the Qur'aan) as a protection from him. The Prophet commanded the Muslims to do so, saying: 'Whoever lives to witness the Dajjal, let him recite the opening verses of Surat Al-Kahf He also said, " whoever memorizes the first ten verses of Surat Al-Kahf will be protecfed from the Dajial.

  3. Taking refuge in Makkah or Madina: The Dajjal will never be able to enter Makkah or Maddina. These two places are sanctuaries and are safe from the Dajjal, for the Messenger of Allaah * said: 'There will be no town the Dajjal will not visit, except Makkah and Madina, for all there gates will be guarded by angels that will be surrounding them. And he also said; "Madina will not see the terror of Dajjat, for it will have seven gates with every gate guarded by two angel.

  "And the Agony of Death comes with the truth. That is what you used to flee from!" 

Death is the separation of the soul from the body, and we all know that it is inevitable. It is an event that marks our transition from this world into the Hereafter. 

 When the Sahabee, Uthman stood by the side of a grave, he wept and he wept so bitterly that his beard became wet with tears. It was said to him: You do not weep over the discussion of Paradise and Hell. but you weep over it (grave). Whereupon he said that AlIaah's Messenger had said. " Verily the grave is the first step in the stages of the Hereafter; if one finds salvation (at this stage) the succeeding (stages) become easy for him, and if he does not find salvation In it, what follows this stage is very hard upon him. Allaah 's Messenger also said: I have never seen a site more horrible than that of the grave," Belief in the events following death is an integral part of Islamic creed. Although the existence of the Hereafter may be rationally proved, the exact details of it can only be acquired through instructions from the Creator, for these events fall in the realm of the Unseen (al-Ghayb). Thus, all one requires as proofs in this matter are verses of Qur'aan and Hadeeth from the authentic Sunnah. Having become convinced of the truthfulness of the Prophet Muhammed, the believer should feel no reservations in accepting what he has conveyed.

 As mentioned earlier. death marks the separation of the soul from the body. The precise nature of the soul is beyond our comprehension. The Prophet was asked about the soul twice. once in Makkah by the Quraysh (as related by Ahmed) and once in Medina by the Jews (as related by Bukhari & Muslin).

 Narrated by Ibn Masood "I was with the Prophet at one of the farms of Medina while he was leaning on a date palm leaf-stalk. He passed by a group of Jews and some of them said to the others, "Ask him (the Prophet) about the spirit (ROh/soul)." Some others said, "Do not ask him, lest he should tell you what you dislike." But they went up to him and said, "0 Abal Qasim! Inform us about the spirit." The Prophet stood up for a while, waiting. I realized that he was being Divinely Inspired, so I kept away from him till the inspiration was over. Then the Prophet recited (the verse)...... they ask you regarding the spirit. Say: The spirit its knowledge is with my Lord(i.e. nobody has its knowledge except Allah).

 The human soul differs from that of the animals in that it is held accountable. However, the souls of those who turn away from the truth. shun guidance and persist in obeying their base lusts and vain desires. becorne lower in status. They are no better than animals. and Allaah has cautioned us against such souls "Relate to them the story of the man to whom We sent our signs but he passed them by: so Satan followed him up and he went astry. If it had been Our Will We should have elevated him with our signs; but he inclined to the earth and followed his own vain desires. His similitude is that of a dog: if you sttack him he lolls out his tongue or if you leave him alone he (still) lolls out his tongue." Soorah al-A'raaf (7):175-17


Departure from This World
 "Until, when death comes to one of them, he says, 'My Lord! Send me back, that I may do 'right in that whiclt I have left behind!' By no means! It is but a word that he says. And behind them is a barrier until the day when they will be raised."

 This verse makes it quiet clear that there is no returning to this world after death, nor is there any delay in the execution of the order. "But Allah does not reprieve any soul when its (appointed) term has come."

 Everyone feels the agony of death. Aaisha radiya/laahu-anhaa relates that when the Prophet was on his deathbed. he was holding a pot full of water, washing his face. saying "La ilaha illallaah - Truly, death has its own agony!"


Punishment in the Grave is a Reality
 The Prophet's wife, Aaisha (May Allaah be pleased with her) said that a Jewess came to her and mentioned the punishment in the grave, saying to her, "May Allaah protect you from the punishment of the grave." 'Aaisha then asked Allaah's Messenger about the punishment of the grave. He said, Yes, (there is) punishment in the grave. "'Aaisha added, "After that I never saw Allaah's Messenger but seeking refuge with Allaah from the punishment in the grave in every prayer he prayed.

 It is essential to believe in the purrishment in the grave. The primary Qur'aanic evidence for it is in the account of pharaoh and his disbelieving kin. "The Fire; they are exposed to it morning and evening; and on the day when the Hour is established, (it will be said): Enter the household of Pharuoh into the severest punishmenl," Soorah Ghafir (40): 46

 This verse is quite explicit that the punishment they are receiving is prior to the Day of Judgement i.e. during the life in the grave There is also abundant evidence in the authentic Sunnah, such as the following Hadeeth; The Prophet once passed by two graves and said, "These two psrsons are being tortured not for a major sin (to avoid). One of them never saved himself from being soiled with his Urine, while the other used to spread tales (to make enmity between people). "The Prophet then took a green leaf of a date-palm tree, split it into (pieces) and fixed one on each grave. They said, "0 Allah's Messenger! Why have you done so?" He replied, 'I hope that their punishment might be lessened till these (the pieces of the leaf) become dry.

 Narrated by Zayd ibrr Thabit,. As Allah's Messenger was going with us towards the dwellings of Banu an-Najjar. While riding his pony, it shied and he nearly fell off. He found four. five or six graves there. He said: "Which of you knows about those lying in the graves?" Someone said, "l do," Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said, "In what state did they die?" He said. "They died as polytheists.'' He said, "These people are passing through the ordeal in the graves. If it were not for the fact that you would stop burying (your dead) in the groves if you heard the torment in the grave, which I hear, I should have certainly made you listen to it." Then turning his face towards us, he said, Seek refuge in Allah from the torment of Hell" They said, "We seek refuge in Allah from the torment of Hell". He said. Seek refuge in Allah from the torment of the grave~ They said. "We seek refuge in Allah from the torment of the grave". He said. Seek refuge in Allah from turmoil- its visible and invisible (aspects)". They said, "We seek refuge in Allah from turmoil and its visible and invisible aspects. He said, Seek refuge in Allah from the turmoil of the Dajjal~ They said. "We seek refuge in Allah from turmoil of the Dajjal".


Exemptions from the Punishment in the Grave
 The Prophets are exempted from the punishment in the grave. The martyr is also exempted from the questioning, because the clashing of the sword above his head was a sufficient trial for him. However, anyone other than a Prophet is liable to be subjected to a squeezing from the grave on his or her sides. If anyone were to have been saved from it, it would have been Sa'd ibn Mu'adh .. according to a Hadeeth of the Prophet. This squeezing is gentle for a good believer, and thereafter the grave expands and becomes spacious, but it is so severe for the disbeliever that his ribs interlock.
  One can protect oneself from the punishment in the grave (other than the squeezing), by:
  a) Regular repentance; for in this way one will have few if any outstanding sins

  b) Martyrdom: being killed in the battlefield while fighting the cause of Allaah

  c) Dying while guarding the frontline of the Islaamic land

  d) Reciting Surah 67 [AL-Mulk] every night.

  e) Saying laa ilaaha illallaahul-malikul-haqqul-mubeen 100 times every day


How can we help the deceased? 
1.) By offering the funeral prayers over their bodies:
This is a communal obligation, such that at least some in the community must perform the prayer over a Muslim who dies, otherwise everyone who was capable of having prayed over him, but did not do so, is sinful.

  2.) By doing good deeds which can benefit them:
The Messenger of Allaah said. " When a man dies, his good deeds come to an end, except for three (things);
(1) Perennial charity
(2)a pious child who prays for him (for the deceased) or
(3) knowledge (by which people) benefit after him." Perennial charity, is the charity that the person gave (before his death) for some good cause from which people continue to benefit on an ongoing basis. such as money given towards a masjid. Scholars are in consensus that the deed can benefit from our supplication for them, and from charity given on their behalf, as well as from Hajj and fasting. Truly, the moment of death is one of the most important moments of one's life. The Shaitan is ever present at that time to tempt one away from believing in Allaah. Hence, it is important for us to remain steadfast in our commitment to the Deen, right up to the moment we die. "Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate from tile truth after you have guided us, grants us mercy from you. Truly, you are the Grantor."


Difference between the Death of a Believer and a Disbeliever
 There is an enormous difference in the experiences after death faced by a Believer and those of a disbeliever. It was reported that al-Bara' ibn Azib said, "We went out with the Prophet in order to partake in the funeral rites of one of the Ansar. We arrived at the grave, but the inner chamber had not been prepared yet, so Allaah's Messenger sat down facing the Qiblah, and we sat around him attentively. He had a stick in his hand with which he sketched on the ground. Then he began looking alternately to the heaven and to earth, raising his gaze and lowering it. Finally, he said two or three times, "Seek refuge in Allaah from the torment of the grave.' Then he said, .. 0 Allaah, verily I seek refuge in You from the torment of the grave." He repeated it three times, then he elaborated.

 " Verily when the believing servant is leaving this world and entering the next, angels from the heavens descend to him - their faces white with brightness like the sun and carrying with then burial sheets and scents from Paradise. They sit before him at a distance as far as the eyes can see. Then the Angel of Death comes to the person, sits at his head and says,'0 good soul, come out to your Lords forgiveness and pleasure." Thereupon the soul flows out of the body like the water flowing ouf of the waterskin and all of the angels between the heaven and the earth supplicate for Allaah's blessing upon him. The Angel of Death barely receives the soul in his hand, whereupon the other angels take it from him and wrap it with fragrant sheets. There exudes from the soul a scent like the most beautiful fragrance of musk that one could find on the face of the earth. The angels ascend with the soul, never possing a host of angels without hearing them ask, 'Who is this wonderful soul?" They reply, "So and so, the son of and so." Addressing him with the best names he was known by in his earthly life. Upon reaching the first heaven, the angels'reguest that it be open for the soul - which is granted. Angels of each heaven then accompany the soul until it reaches the one above it and finally arrives at the seventh heaven.

 Then Allaah the Mighty and Majestic, says. (to the angels) 'Place the record of my servant in 'illiyun." The persons record is then placed in 'illiyun, whereupon a command is heard: "return him fo the earfh, for verily I have promised mankind that having created them from earth, I will return them to it, yet another time." Then the soul is returned to earth, back to its body Verily, the deceased hears the shuffling feet of his companions who attended his burial as they turn away and leave his grave. Thereupon two angels, severe in interrogation, come to him, and sitting him up, they begin to ask him guestions.

 They say, 'Who is your Lord?" He replies, 'Allaah is my Lord." They continue, 'What is your religion?" He answers, "Islam is my religion.'They proceed with the questioning, saying, 'Who is the man that has been sent to you?

 He responds, "He is the Messenger of Allaah." Finally, they ask him about his deeds, to which he replies, "I read Allaah's books and believed In it. Upon the believers answering these questions, a voice is heard in the heaven, saying, "My servant has told the truth, so clothe him In the clothing of Paradise, spread for him the furnishings of paradise, and open for him a window with a view of Paradise. " Thereupon a breeze of fresh air engulfs him and fragrance, while the expanse of his grave is expanded before him as far as the eye can see. There appears before him a man with a wonderful face and dressed in beautiful clothes, emitting a splendid fragrance. He says to the soul, "Rejoice at the news which will gladden you! Rejoice at Allaah's pleasure and Paradise, whose joys and delights never end.

This is the day you were promised.'The deceased says to him, 'And who are you?, for your face bears glad tidings!" The person answers, 'I represent your deeds: by Allaah, lve always known you to be guick in obedience to Allaah and slow to His disobedience. May Allaah reward you with good.' Then a door to Paradise is opened, and a door to fire is opened, whereupon, it is said to him (regarding the Hell fire), 'This would have been your final abode had you disobeyed Allaah, however it has been exchanged for this other abode (i.e. Paradise).' When the soul saes what is in the Paradise, he exclaims, 'My Lord, hasten the arrival of that Hour so that I may be joined with my family and my wealth.'There upon it is said to him, 'Rest in tranquility.' Allah's Messenger continued, 'When the disbeliever servant is about to leave this world and enter the next, angels, powerful and severe, descend to him from the Heaven - their faces black and carrying with them coarse cloth from Hell. They sit before him at a distance as an eye can see.

 Then the Angel of Death arrives, and sitting at the head of the disbeliever and says, '0 you foul soul. Come out to the anger and wrath of your Lord.' The soul inside the disbelievers body is overcome by terrible fear (and does not want to deliver itself up), whereupon the Angel of Death violently pulls it out like multi-pronged skewers being yanked out of the wool-tearing with then the arteries and nerves. Upon this. the soul is cursed by every angel between the heaven and the earth and by those inside the heaven. Then the doors of the heaven are closed to him, and every single guard at these doors beg Allaah that this soul not be carried up in front of him and wrap it with coorse cloth. There emits from if the foulest odor that could be found on the face of the earth. They ascend with it, never passing a host of angels without being asked, 'Who is this ugly soul?" They reply, 'So and so, the son of so and so. Using the worst name he was known in this world. When they arrive at the lowest heaven, they request that it be open for this soul. but the request is denied. At this time Allaah's Messenger recited the following verse: 'And whoever ascribes partners with Allaah, it is as though as he has fallen from the sky, such that birds snatch him up or the winds throw him to a remote place." [Surah Hajj (22):31]

 Then he commented, 'Verily (when the soul is returned to its body), the deceased hears the sound of his companions footsteps as they turn away from his grave.

 Then two Angels, severe in interrogation, come to him, and sitting him up, they begin to guestion him, 'Who is your Lord?" He replies, 'Oh! Oh! I don't know.'

 They continue by asking him, 'What is your religion?' He answers, 'Oh! Oh! f don't know?'

 So they ask, 'Then what do you say about this man who was sent to you, Muhammed?' Again he says 'Oh! Oh! I don't know I only heard people talking about him-'

 Then it is said, 'You did not know and you did not read!' Thereupon a voice from the heavm is heard, 'He has lied! So spread out for him a place from the fire and open for him the window to the fire." The fearing hot winds of Hell engulf him while his grave closes in upon him, crushing him until his ribcage is broken by force - causing the rib of one side to intertwine with the ribs of the other. Then there appears to him d man with an ugly face and ugly clothing and exuding a foul odor, who says, 'Tidings of evil for you, for this is the day for which You were promised!* The deceased says to him, 'And you, too; for your is a face that pretends evil."

The person rejoins, 'I represent your wicked deeds. By Allaah I have always known you to be slow in obedience of Allaah and guick in disobedience to Him. May Allaah reward you with evil!' Then one who is deaf, dumb and blind and is carrying an iron rod is sent to the deceased. If he were to strike a mountain with it, the mountain would disintegrate into rubble. He strikes the deceased with a blow, which turns him into dust. Allaah returns the deceased to his original form, whereupon he is struck a second time. This causes him to shriek with such violence that it is heard by all the creation except from mankind and Jinn. Then a door to the fire is opened, and bedding of fire are spread out for him, whereupon he cries, 'Lord do not establish the Hour. May Allaah give us Death whilst in the state of lslaam
