JUST SOME WEDNESDAY MADNESS #2






"JUST HITTING ANOTHER
BRICK WALL"















GOLDEN PIG AWARD







Golden Pig Award goes to Reverend Walter Coleman, pastor of the Adalberto United Methodist Church in Chicago, IL, for his defiance of our immigration laws by giving sanctuary to an illegal Mexican woman in his church and claiming to be doing the work of Jesus Christ. Since when did Jesus teach that we should break the law?



ISLAMIC LIES, ABSURDITIES & INACCURACIES - Volume #1 - B
(Based upon the Haddiths)

By: Abdul Haleem

CONTRADICTORY INSTRUCTIONS ON WHETHER TO DRINK WATER STANDING UP OR SITTING DOWN

Muslim collects of number of hadiths DISAPPROVING drinking of water while standing:

Muslim, Book 23, Number 5018:

"Anas reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) FORBADE THAT A PERSON SHOULD DRINK WHILE STANDING. Qatada reported: We said to him: What about eating? Thereupon he (Anas) said: That is even worse and more detestable (abominable). "

Muslim, Book 23, Number 5020:

"Abu Sa'id Khudri reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) WARNED AGAINST DRINKING WHILE STANDING."

However, Muslim ALSO reports THE PROPHET (PBUH) DRINKING WHILE STANDING:

Muslim, Book 23, Number 5025:

"Ibn 'Abbas reported that ALLAH'S APOSTLE (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) DRANK (WATER) FROM ZAMZAM WHILE HE WAS STANDING."

Which is it, standing or not?

DO DATES CURE HEART DISEASE?

Abu Dawud attributes this claim to the Prophet:

Abu Dawud , Book 28, Number 3866:

"I suffered from an illness. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) came to pay a visit to me. He put his hands between my nipples and I felt its coolness at my heart. He said: YOU ARE A MAN SUFFERING FROM HEART SICKNESS. Go to al-Harith ibn Kaladah, brother of Thaqif. He is a man who gives medical treatment. HE SHOULD TAKE SEVEN AJWAH DATES OF MEDINA AND GRIND THEM WITH THEIR KERNELS, AND THEN PUT THEM INTO YOUR MOUTH."

Is a Muslim suffering heart disease required to submit to this "cure"? Or can he or she see a heart specialist?

ARE MUSLIMS FORBIDDEN TO COMB THEIR HAIR MORE FREQUENTLY THAN ONCE EVERY TWO DAYS?

According to the following hadith collected by Abu Dawud, the answer is "Yes."

Abu Dawud, Book 33, Number 4147:

"The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) FORBADE COMBING THE HAIR EXCEPT EVERY SECOND DAY."

Can anyone believe this nonsense is the Word of Allah?

ARE WE REQUIRED TO WEAR OLD CLOTHES?

According to the following hadith collected by Abu Dawud, the answer is "Yes."

Abu Dawud, Book 33, Number 4149:

"The Companions of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) mentioned this word before him. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: Listen, listen! WEARING OLD CLOTHES IS A PART OF FAITH, WEARING OLD CLOTHES IS A PART OF FAITH."

This nonsense conflicts with Quran 7:31 which says "wear your beautiful apparel at every time and place of prayer"!


USE OF THE SKIN OF AN ANIMAL THAT DIED FROM NATURAL CAUSES BOTH PERMITTED AND PROHIBITED

Hadiths collected by Abu Dawud on this point are IN CONFLICT!

Abu Dawud , Book 32, Number 4112:

"The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) ordered that the skins of the animals which had died a natural death SHOULD BE USED when they are tanned."

However, another hadith also collected by Abu Dawud quote the Prophet (pbuh) as saying "NO."

"The letter of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) was read out to us in the territory of Juhaynah when I was a young boy: DO NOT MAKE USE OF THE SKIN OR SINEW OF AN ANIMAL WHICH DIED A NATURAL DEATH"

Did Allah actually tell the Prophet to BOTH approve use of such animal skins and disapprove it? Not likely!


WEARING RED CLOTHING BOTH PERMITTED OR PROHIBITED

Some hadiths collected by Abu Dawud say the Prophet DISAPPROVED wearing of the color red.

Abu Dawud, Book 32, Number 4058:

"A man WEARING TWO RED GARMENTS passed the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and gave him a greeting, but he did not respond to his greeting."

Abu Dawud , Book 32, Number 4059:

"We went out with the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) on a journey, and we had on our saddles and camels GARMENTS CONSISTING OF RED WARP OF WOOL. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: DO I NOT SEE THAT RED COLOUR HAS DOMINATED YOU. We then got up quickly on account of this saying of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) and some of our camels ran away. We then took the garments and withdrew them.

Yet Abu Dawud also reports THE PROPHET WEARING RED!

Book 32, Number 4062:

"Narrated Amir:

"I saw THE APOSTLE OF ALLAH (PEACE_BE_UPON_HIM) AT MINA GIVING SERMON ON A MULE AND WEARING A RED GARMENT, while Ali was announcing.

Did Allah actually tell the Prophet to say one thing and do another? I don’t think so!
