| I guess you`re so modest that you didn`t bother read about the Prophet-- "The Sex Life of the Prophet Question: Was Islam`s perfect man sexually restrained? Summary Answer: Muhammad had sex with just about anyone he pleased, thanks to Allah`s remarkable interest in his personal sex life. Muhammad was married to eleven women at one time, relegating them to either consecutive days or (according to some accounts) all in one night. He married a 9-year-old girl and even his adopted son`s wife. On top of that he had a multitude of slave girls and concubines with whom he had sex - sometimes on the very days in which they had watched their husbands and fathers die at the hands of Muhammad`s armies. So, by any realistic measure, the creator of the world`s most sexually restrictive religion was also one of the most sexually indulgent characters in history. The Qur`an: Allah managed to hand down quite a few "revelations" that sanctioned Muhammad`s personal pursuit of sex to the doubters around him. Interestingly they have become part of the the eternal, infallible word of the Qur`an, to be memorized by generations of Muslims for whom they have no possible relevance. Sura (33:37) - "But when Zaid had accomplished his want of her, We gave her to you as a wife, so that there should be no difficulty for the believers in respect of the wives of their adopted sons, when they have accomplished their want of them; and Allah`s command shall be performed." No doubt millions of young Muslims, trying to outdo one another at memorizing the Quran, have wondered about what this verse means and why it is there. In fact, this is a "revelation" of convenience that Allah just happened to hand down at a time when Muhammad lusted after his daughter-in-law, Zaynab, - an affair that disturbed local customs. The verse "commands" Muhammad to marry the woman (following her husband`s gracious divorce). As for why this should be part of the eternal word of God...? Sura (33:50) - "O Prophet! surely We have made lawful to you your wives whom you have given their dowries, and those whom your right hand possesses out of those whom Allah has given to you as prisoners of war, and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who fled with you; and a believing woman if she gave herself to the Prophet, if the Prophet desired to marry her-- specially for you, not for the (rest of) believers; We know what We have ordained for them concerning their wives and those whom their right hands possess in order that no blame may attach to you; " This is another special command that Muhammad handed down to himself that allows virtually unlimited sex, divinely sanctioned by Allah. One assumes that there was some sort of disgruntlement in the community over Muhammad`s hedonism that this "revelation" was meant to assuage. Sura (33:51) - "You may put off whom you please of them, and you may take to you whom you please, and whom you desire of those whom you had separated provisionally; no blame attaches to you; this is most proper, so that their eyes may be cool and they may not grieve, and that they should be pleased" Muhammad may sleep with whichever wife he wishes without having to hear the others complain... as revealed in Allah`s literal and perfect words to more than a billion Muslims. http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/025-Muhammads-sex-life.htm |
