My response to "Ayesha Ahmed":
First and foremost, Muslims do not compare the Prophets and Messengers in terms of their accomplishments or deeds. They
are all honored, without any discrimination. As the Holy Quran says:
Say (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham, and
Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the prophets
received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered. (Sura
al-Baqarah:36)
Say (O Muhammad): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham and
Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and that which was vouchsafed unto Moses and Jesus and the prophets from
their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered. (Sura al-Imran:84)
So, right here and now, your pathetic argument is vanquished. What else can be expected from evil and the doers of evil
(such as yourself), except to lose and be consumed by your ignorance?
But, let us humor you for awhile. Let us see if your little thesis is worthy of any merit.
Ayesha Ahmed:
You gave Noah a life of 950 years, you gave Mo only 63 years. What a shame. Even Ibn Afak, an infidel Jew lived to be 120
and died only when Mo had him assassinated.
How silly you are! Surely you know that how long one lives is not an indication of one's merit and honor in the sight of Allah
(swt). The life of this world is but a passing dream! It is the Hereafter that all believers, Noah and Muhammad (peace be upon
them all) included, look forward to. The Hereafter is eternal. So what if Noah (pbuh) lived much longer than Muhammad
(pbuh)? Noah (pbuh) could not save his people from the filth of unbelief, and in the end they were destroyed. On the other
hand, the people of Muhammad (pbuh) became steadfast believers, and in less than 100 years after his death, had brought
down the corrupt empires of Byzantium and Persia. It was his people that triggered a Golden Age of knowledge, who saved the
ancient writings of the Greeks from the bonfires of Europe, who brought Europe itself out from the Dark Ages. You know this,
yes? And it all started with one man, who only needed a mere 23 years to transform the world!
Ayesha Ahmed:
You made Adam 60 cunits (30 meters) tall but you made Mo less than six feet. Even many infidel 7 feet tall basket ball players
dwarf the greatest prophet
One's height is not an indication of honor, just as one's length of life in the earthly realm is not an indication of honor. Do you
remember Goliath (Jalut), the towering giant who was helpless in the face of God's servant David (Dawud)? Goliath's height
did not save him from the blazing fire, nor did it save him from David's simple slingshot! David (pbuh) was no giant, like Adam
(pbuh), and yet he brought down a giant! What is your point, silly one?
Ayesha Ahmed:
You made Yousuf so handsome that even his boss's wife chased him around . As far as Mo is concerned, he was the one
doing the chasing. Many women even shunned him. As a matter of fact every time he came to Juavaria, his gorgeous
captured-women-turned-wife for a quickie, she would stand up and start praying namaz to avoid him (she was known to pray
for hours until horny Mo had to go next door to another wife to fulfill his desire). Once he proposed to have sex with a noble
woman, she refused and prayed for protection from Allah, how insulting for an apostle. Many of his marriages could not be
consummated (perhaps because the young girls given in marriage by fathers probably started crying when they saw the
naked old man).
Funny, how you do not quote the story. Well, I will save you the trouble and quote it here for you, since you were too lazy to do
it yourself. The narration is by Juwairiya bint Harith herself (may Allah be pleased with her) and I am sure that even the most
dim-witted individuals will understand what she was saying:
"Juwairiya reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) came out from (her apartment) in the morning as she
was busy in observing her dawn prayer in her place of worship. He came back in the forenoon and she was still sitting there.
He (the Holy Prophet) said to her: You have been in the same seat since I left you. She said: Yes. Thereupon Allah's Apostle
(may peace be upon him) said: I recited four words three times after I left you and if these are to be weighed against what you
have recited since morning these would outweigh them and (these words) are:" Hallowed be Allah and praise is due to Him
according to the number of His creation and according to the pleasure of His Self and according to the weight of His Throne
and according to the ink (used in recording) words (for His Praise)." (Sahih Muslim, Book 35, Number 6575)
Notice that the narration states that it was at Dawn that the Prophet left Juwairiya. He had spent the night with her! Was she
avoiding him? Of course not! That is just your own pathetic assumption which has no basis. What the above narration shows
is that Juwairiya was a pious Muslim woman, pure and clean, who spent hours praying to her Lord. But the Prophet had shown
her that she did not need to sit for hours between prayers, for Islam is a religion of moderation. Nonetheless, you have shot
yourself in the foot by failing to comprehend the story and its morals. Perhaps, you should put your foot in your mouth!
Ayesha Ahmed:
You gave Jesus the power to make dead people live, give back parents to orphans and husbands to widows. The only power
you gave Mo was to make live people dead, take away parents from children and husbands from wives which any common
criminal can do.
Incoherent dribble will not pass for an intelligent analysis. Sure, Jesus (pbuh) performed wondrous feats, but there were
miracles of great magnitude that he did not perform, which his brother in faith Muhammad (pbuh) did. One such feat was the
splitting of the moon. Do you know any other Prophet who split the moon?
Ayesha Ahmed:
You gave Sulaiman power to control Jinns who used to bring him treasures from the bottom of the sea. Mo had to rely on
himself and his cronies to acquire wealth by looting and pillaging.
On the contrary, the blessed Muhammad (pbuh) could have had great treasures and power when the chiefs of Mecca offered
him those things in exchange for his promise to stop preaching his religion. And yet, his famous reply to their attempts to bribe
him was "even if you placed the sun in one hand and the moon in the other I will not refrain from my mission". If he was after
wealth, here was his opportunity to have it. Why did he reject it? Even your feeble mind should understand that wealth was not
his motivation. Rather, it was his undying faith in his Lord.
Ayesha Ahmed:
You saved Ibrahim's son Ismail when he was trying to behead him after a bad dream by replacing his son with a ram. You did
no such saving when Mo's sons were dying in infancy.
We bow to Allah's will. Muhammad (pbuh) suffered great tragedies in his life, but they brought him closer to his Lord. He
submitted to the Will of his Lord, and it was the Will of Allah (swt) that his sons not live to see adolescence and adulthood. Life
is full of tests and trials, tragedies and pain, but the faithful put their trust in Allah (swt), and do not let such difficulties lead
them away from their Lord. Allah (swt) says in the Holy Quran:
"Assuredly ye will be tried in your property and in your persons, and ye will hear much wrong from those who were given the
Scripture before you, and from the idolaters. But if ye persevere and ward off (evil), then that is of the steadfast heart of
things." (Sura al-Imran:186)
"So let not their riches nor their children please thee (O Muhammad). Allah thereby intendeth but to punish them in the life of
the world and that their souls shall pass away while they are disbelievers." (Al-Tawba:55)
Ayesha Ahmed:
When Younus prayed from inside the stomach of a large fish you listened and saved his life. When Mo prayed from the lap of
Ayesha you did not listen, and let him die.
I grow weary of your weak and pathetic ramblings. We find in Sahih Bukhari an interesting narration:
" Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
"The Prophet delivered a sermon and said, "Allah gave a choice to one of (His) slaves either to choose this world or what is
with Him in the Hereafter. He chose the latter." Abu Bakr wept. I said lo myself, "Why is this Sheikh weeping, if Allah gave
choice to one (of His) slaves either to choose this world or what is with Him in the Here after and he chose the latter?" And that
slave was Allah's Apostle himself. Abu Bakr knew more than us. The Prophet said, "O Abu Bakr! Don't weep. The Prophet
added: Abu- Bakr has favored me much with his property and company. If I were to take a Khalil from mankind I would certainly
have taken Abu Bakr but the Islamic brotherhood and friendship is sufficient. Close all the gates in the mosque except that of
Abu Bakr." (Volume 1, Book 8, Number 455)
So, you see, Muhammad (pbuh) chose to be with his Lord. Had he wanted, he could have chosen to live longer, but he
yearned to be with Allah (swt). This story also refutes your argument about the Prophet's age when he died, as compared to
Noah's age. Tell me, which other Prophet was given the choice to live on the earth a little while longer or to die and be with
Allah (swt)? Who else was given this choice? Only Muhammad (pbuh).
Ayesha Ahmed:
You gave long lives to children of Dawood and Yaqoob. Mo had to bury six of his seven children who died young . The 7th
(Fatima) died 2 months after his death before reaching 20.
Already refuted above. No need to repeat myself.
Ayesha Ahmed:
You yourself came down to earth to meet Moses. Mo was escorted by Jibraeel on the back of a winged horse and travel
billions of miles to see you ( I bet he had a very sore behind after the trip). Could you not come down yourself for your best
man.
Moses (pbuh) spoke with Allah (swt) in the form of a burning bush. Muhammad (pbuh) actually went into the presence of Allah
(swt), so close that even Gabriel (as) could not be there! It is also interesting to note that when Muhammad (pbuh) came back
after conversing with Allah (swt), he was asked by Moses (pbuh) of what had transpired. When Moses (pbuh) told him to go
back, only Muhammad (pbuh) went. It was only his honor, and no one else's. Of course, this takes nothing away from Moses
(pbuh) as he was a great and noble Prophet, whose name is mentioned more than any other in the Quran.
Ayesha Ahmed:
You gave real miracles to all prophets. Ibrahim could convert burning fire into a garden. Moses could convert his staff into a
snake, walk through an ocean, give life to a dead cow. Jesus could cure the sick, give eyes to the blind, give life to the dead,
make a clay bird fly, talk right after birth. Noah could build an arc to carry millions of animals. Sulaiman could communicate with
jinns and animals. All of them had something to show except Mo. When Mo asked for a miracle you gave a run around and
said Quran is your miracle. Some miracle, a hodgepodge of silly fables and a collection of misinformation. A book which says
Sun sets in muddy spring, stars are missiles to attack jinns, Moon is a lamp, Sun goes around the Earth, mountains are pegs
and sky is in seven solid layers. Even kids are laughing at his miracle.
We already discussed the splitting of the moon, which no other Prophet before Muhammad (pbuh) had done. Here are some
other miracles which the Prophet performed. This makes you look silly, no?
"Narrated Anas bin Malik: Once in the lifetime of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) the people were afflicted with drought (famine). While
the Prophet was delivering the Khutba on a Friday, a Bedouin stood up and said, "O, Allah's Apostle! Our possessions are
being destroyed and the children are hungry; Please invoke Allah (for rain)". So the Prophet raised his hands. At that time
there was not a trace of cloud in the sky. By Him in Whose Hands my soul is as soon as he lowered his hands, clouds
gathered like mountains, and before he got down from the pulpit, I saw the rain falling on the beard of the Prophet. It rained
that day, the next day, the third day, the fourth day till the next Friday. The same Bedouin or another man stood up and said,
"O Allah's Apostle! The houses have collapsed, our possessions and livestock have been drowned; Please invoke Allah (to
protect us)". So the Prophet I raised both his hands and said, "O Allah! Round about us and not on us". So, in whatever
direction he pointed with his hands, the clouds dispersed and cleared away, and Medina's (sky) became clear as a hole in
between the clouds. The valley of Qanat remained flooded, for one month, none came from outside but talked about the
abundant rain." (Sahih Bukhari Volume 2, Book 13, Number 55)
"Narrated Al-Bara: We were one-thousand-and-four-hundred persons on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (Treaty), and (at)
Al-Hudaibiya (there) was a well. We drew out its water not leaving even a single drop. The Prophet sat at the edge of the well
and asked for some water with which he rinsed his mouth and then he threw it out into the well. We stayed for a short while
and then drew water from the well and quenched our thirst, and even our riding animals drank water to their satisfaction."
(Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 777)
"Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: I was with the Prophet and the time for the 'Asr prayer became due. We had no water with us
except a little which was put in a vessel and was brought to perform ablution. The blessing is from Allah." I saw the water
gushing out from his fingers. So the people performed the ablution and drank, and I tried to drink more of that water (beyond
my thirst and capacity), for I knew that it was a blessing. The subnarrator said : I asked Jabir, "How many persons were you
then?" He replied, " We were one thousand four hundred men." (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 4, Number 779)
"Narrated Ibn 'Umar, that the prophet used to deliver his Khutba (religious talk) while leaning against a trunk of a date-palm
tree. When he had the pulpit made and used it instead, the trunk started crying and the Prophet went to it, rubbing his hand
over it (to stop its crying)." (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 4, Number 783)
Ayesha Ahmed:
You gave Sulaiman mastery of all the tongues of animal kingdom. Mo could not even read or write his own mother tongue.
And this bothers you? The fact that an illiterate merchant from Arabia transformed the world means nothing to you? As we
have seen already, Muhammad (pbuh) performed other feats which no one before him had ever done. Obviously, being
illiterate did not stop him from vanquishing evil and falsehood. Unbelievers like you are left tongue-tied in the face of his
success.
Now, you admit that he was illiterate. So, where did the Quran come from then? You do not believe that it was revealed to him
by Allah (swt), right? So, where did it come from, if Muhammad (pbuh) was unable to read or write Arabic?
Ayesha Ahmed:
You gave many prophets the ability to cure (Ayub could cure himself by prayer). When sick people came to them they gave
them health. When sick people came to Mo , he gave them camel urine (no wonder some of them went berserk after drinking
fresh camel urine and committed murders). He could not cure even his own sons whom he desired and loved dearly, all three
died in infancy.
Actually, my dim-witted friend, the narration which you refer to states that the people were cured when the Prophet advised
them to drink milk with some camel urine. We also find other narrations where the Prophet cured people from various illnesses
and conditions. We find in Sahih Bukhari the following narrations:
"Narrated Sahl bin Sad: Allah's Apostle said, "Tomorrow I will give the flag to a man with whose leadership Allah will grant (the
Muslim) victory." So the people kept on thinking the whole night as to who would be given the flag. The next morning the
people went to Allah's Apostle and every one of them hoped that he would be given the flag. The Prophet said, "Where is Ali
bin Abi Talib?" The people replied, "He is suffering from eye trouble, O Allah's Apostle." He said, "Send for him and bring him
to me." So when 'Ali came, the Prophet spat in his eyes and invoked good on him, and he became alright as if he had no
ailment. The Prophet then gave him the flag. 'Ali said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall I fight them (i.e. enemy) till they become like
us?" The Prophet said, "Proceed to them steadily till you approach near to them and then invite them to Islam and inform them
of their duties towards Allah which Islam prescribes for them, for by Allah, if one man is guided on the right path (i.e. converted
to Islam) through you, it would be better for you than (a great number of) red camels." (Volume 5, Book 57, Number 51)
"Narrated Yazid bin Abi Ubaid: I saw the trace of a wound in Salama's leg. I said to him, "O Abu Muslim! What is this wound?"
He said, "This was inflicted on me on the day of Khaibar and the people said, 'Salama has been wounded.' Then I went to the
Prophet and he puffed his saliva in it (i.e. the wound) thrice., and since then I have not had any pain in it till this hour."
(Volume 5, Book 59, Number 517)
As for his children, it was Allah's Will that they die. The miracles that he performed were done with the permission of Allah
(swt), to serve as signs for the believers. Sometimes, he was permitted to heal people. Other times, he was not.
Ayesha Ahmed:
You sent ababil birds to defeat an army on elephants to protect your own house Kaaba. No ababils showed up when Mo's
house in Madina was attacked three times. He almost got killed once.
The key word here is "almost". Did his would-be assassins succeed? Do you also remember that when Muhammad (pbuh) and
Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) were heading towards Madinah during the Hijra, they took shelter in a cave? When
the unbelievers approached the cave, they found the entrance blocked by a spider's web and a family of pigeons. Thinking
that the cave had not seen any visitors in recent times, they continued to search. You see, Allah (swt) did not need to send an
army of birds to protect His Prophet. All He needed was an insignificant spider and a few pigeons! Truly, this was a miracle!
Ayesha Ahmed:
Sulaiman was helped by superhuman invisible help in his wars. No such help for Mo. Yes he won many wars but It was the lure
of booty, captured women and the 72 perpetually virgin houris in heaven for martyrs which made his soldiers fight and win, not
your ababil birds or the thousands of angels which were promised but never showed up.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Do you forget the Battle of Badr? Let us see what the Quran says:
Allah had already given you the victory at Badr, when ye were contemptible. So observe your duty to Allah in order that ye
may be thankful. (Sura al-Imran:123)
"When ye sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying): I will help you with a thousand of the angels, rank on rank.
Allah appointed it only as good tidings, and that your hearts thereby might be at rest. Victory cometh only by the help of Allah.
Lo! Allah is Mighty, Wise. Remember He covered you with a sort of drowsiness, to give you calm as from Himself, and he
caused rain to descend on you from heaven, to clean you therewith, to remove from you the stain of Satan, to strengthen your
hearts, and to plant your feet firmly therewith. Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give
firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their
finger-tips off them."" (Sura al-Anfal:9-12)
We also found the following narration in Sahih Muslim (it is quite lengthy so I will quote only the relevant parts):
"It has been narrated on the authority of 'Umar b. al-Khattab who said: When it was the day on which the Battle of Badr was
fought, the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) cast a glance at the infidels, and they were one thousand while his
own Companions were three hundred and nineteen. [...] So Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, revealed (the Qur'anic verse):"
When ye appealed to your Lord for help, He responded to your call (saying): I will help you with one thousand angels coming
in succession." So Allah helped him with angels.
Abu Zumail said that the hadith was narrated to him by Ibn 'Abbas who said: While on that day a Muslim was chasing a
disbeliever who was going ahead of him, he heard over him' the swishing of the whip and the voice of the rider saying: Go
ahead, Haizi'm! He glanced at the polytheist who had (now) fallen down on his back. When he looked at him (carefully he
found that) there was a scar on his nose and his face was torn as if it had been lashed with a whip, and had turned green with
its poison. An Ansari came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and related this (event) to him. He said: You
have told the truth. This was the help from the third heaven." (Book 19, Number 4360)
Ayesha Ahmed:
You were sending Jibraeel for every little information, even to show how to wipe asses, why didn't you send him to warn Mo
against eating the poisoned meat which pained him so much and eventually took his life?
You refer to the attempted poisoning by the Jews of Khaibar. Of course, those with even an iota of intelligence know that the
incident in question occurred around 3 years before Muhammad's death! What kind of poison did they use? It took 3 years for
it to take effect? Your ignorance and utter stupidity blind you to logic and reason. What can we expect from the blind and deaf?
Ayesha Ahmed:
In view of the above facts, can you still say you were fair to Mohammad?
Very much so, because Muhammad (pbuh) will have an exalted place of honor in the Hereafter. You unbelievers just cannot
seem to realize that to the believers, the Hereafter is much more desired than this frivolous, temporary existence on earth. You
can have this life, but you will not have any portion of the next, except the blazing fire. How do you want yourself? Well done?
Or medium-rare? Ciao.
Ends ...

is full of tests and trials, tragedies and pain, but the faithful put their trust in Allah (swt), and do not let such difficulties lead

You gave long lives to children of Dawood and Yaqoob. Mo had to bury six of his seven children who died young . The 7th
(Fatima) died 2 months after his death before reaching 20.
Already refuted above. No need to repeat myself.
Ayesha Ahmed:
You yourself came down to earth to meet Moses. Mo was escorted by Jibraeel on the back of a winged horse and travel
billions of miles to see you ( I bet he had a very sore behind after the trip). Could you not come down yourself for your best
man.
Moses (pbuh) spoke with Allah (swt) in the form of a burning bush. Muhammad (pbuh) actually went into the presence of Allah
(swt), so close that even Gabriel (as) could not be there! It is also interesting to note that when Muhammad (pbuh) came back
after conversing with Allah (swt), he was asked by Moses (pbuh) of what had transpired. When Moses (pbuh) told him to go
back, only Muhammad (pbuh) went. It was only his honor, and no one else's. Of course, this takes nothing away from Moses
(pbuh) as he was a great and noble Prophet, whose name is mentioned more than any other in the Quran.
Ayesha Ahmed:
You gave real miracles to all prophets. Ibrahim could convert burning fire into a garden. Moses could convert his staff into a
snake, walk through an ocean, give life to a dead cow. Jesus could cure the sick, give eyes to the blind, give life to the dead,
make a clay bird fly, talk right after birth. Noah could build an arc to carry millions of animals. Sulaiman could communicate with
jinns and animals. All of them had something to show except Mo. When Mo asked for a miracle you gave a run around and
said Quran is your miracle. Some miracle, a hodgepodge of silly fables and a collection of misinformation. A book which says
Sun sets in muddy spring, stars are missiles to attack jinns, Moon is a lamp, Sun goes around the Earth, mountains are pegs
and sky is in seven solid layers. Even kids are laughing at his miracle.
We already discussed the splitting of the moon, which no other Prophet before Muhammad (pbuh) had done. Here are some
other miracles which the Prophet performed. This makes you look silly, no?
"Narrated Anas bin Malik: Once in the lifetime of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) the people were afflicted with drought (famine). While
the Prophet was delivering the Khutba on a Friday, a Bedouin stood up and said, "O, Allah's Apostle! Our possessions are
being destroyed and the children are hungry; Please invoke Allah (for rain)". So the Prophet raised his hands. At that time
there was not a trace of cloud in the sky. By Him in Whose Hands my soul is as soon as he lowered his hands, clouds
gathered like mountains, and before he got down from the pulpit, I saw the rain falling on the beard of the Prophet. It rained
that day, the next day, the third day, the fourth day till the next Friday. The same Bedouin or another man stood up and said,
"O Allah's Apostle! The houses have collapsed, our possessions and livestock have been drowned; Please invoke Allah (to
protect us)". So the Prophet I raised both his hands and said, "O Allah! Round about us and not on us". So, in whatever
direction he pointed with his hands, the clouds dispersed and cleared away, and Medina's (sky) became clear as a hole in
between the clouds. The valley of Qanat remained flooded, for one month, none came from outside but talked about the
abundant rain." (Sahih Bukhari Volume 2, Book 13, Number 55)
"Narrated Al-Bara: We were one-thousand-and-four-hundred persons on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (Treaty), and (at)
Al-Hudaibiya (there) was a well. We drew out its water not leaving even a single drop. The Prophet sat at the edge of the well
and asked for some water with which he rinsed his mouth and then he threw it out into the well. We stayed for a short while
and then drew water from the well and quenched our thirst, and even our riding animals drank water to their satisfaction."
(Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 777)
"Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: I was with the Prophet and the time for the 'Asr prayer became due. We had no water with us
except a little which was put in a vessel and was brought to perform ablution. The blessing is from Allah." I saw the water
gushing out from his fingers. So the people performed the ablution and drank, and I tried to drink more of that water (beyond
my thirst and capacity), for I knew that it was a blessing. The subnarrator said : I asked Jabir, "How many persons were you
then?" He replied, " We were one thousand four hundred men." (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 4, Number 779)
"Narrated Ibn 'Umar, that the prophet used to deliver his Khutba (religious talk) while leaning against a trunk of a date-palm
tree. When he had the pulpit made and used it instead, the trunk started crying and the Prophet went to it, rubbing his hand
over it (to stop its crying)." (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 4, Number 783)
Ayesha Ahmed:
You gave Sulaiman mastery of all the tongues of animal kingdom. Mo could not even read or write his own mother tongue.
And this bothers you? The fact that an illiterate merchant from Arabia transformed the world means nothing to you? As we
have seen already, Muhammad (pbuh) performed other feats which no one before him had ever done. Obviously, being
illiterate did not stop him from vanquishing evil and falsehood. Unbelievers like you are left tongue-tied in the face of his
success.
Now, you admit that he was illiterate. So, where did the Quran come from then? You do not believe that it was revealed to him
by Allah (swt), right? So, where did it come from, if Muhammad (pbuh) was unable to read or write Arabic?
Ayesha Ahmed:
You gave many prophets the ability to cure (Ayub could cure himself by prayer). When sick people came to them they gave
them health. When sick people came to Mo , he gave them camel urine (no wonder some of them went berserk after drinking
fresh camel urine and committed murders). He could not cure even his own sons whom he desired and loved dearly, all three
died in infancy.
Actually, my dim-witted friend, the narration which you refer to states that the people were cured when the Prophet advised
them to drink milk with some camel urine. We also find other narrations where the Prophet cured people from various illnesses
and conditions. We find in Sahih Bukhari the following narrations:
"Narrated Sahl bin Sad: Allah's Apostle said, "Tomorrow I will give the flag to a man with whose leadership Allah will grant (the
Muslim) victory." So the people kept on thinking the whole night as to who would be given the flag. The next morning the
people went to Allah's Apostle and every one of them hoped that he would be given the flag. The Prophet said, "Where is Ali
bin Abi Talib?" The people replied, "He is suffering from eye trouble, O Allah's Apostle." He said, "Send for him and bring him
to me." So when 'Ali came, the Prophet spat in his eyes and invoked good on him, and he became alright as if he had no
ailment. The Prophet then gave him the flag. 'Ali said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall I fight them (i.e. enemy) till they become like
us?" The Prophet said, "Proceed to them steadily till you approach near to them and then invite them to Islam and inform them
of their duties towards Allah which Islam prescribes for them, for by Allah, if one man is guided on the right path (i.e. converted
to Islam) through you, it would be better for you than (a great number of) red camels." (Volume 5, Book 57, Number 51)
"Narrated Yazid bin Abi Ubaid: I saw the trace of a wound in Salama's leg. I said to him, "O Abu Muslim! What is this wound?"
He said, "This was inflicted on me on the day of Khaibar and the people said, 'Salama has been wounded.' Then I went to the
Prophet and he puffed his saliva in it (i.e. the wound) thrice., and since then I have not had any pain in it till this hour."
(Volume 5, Book 59, Number 517)
As for his children, it was Allah's Will that they die. The miracles that he performed were done with the permission of Allah
(swt), to serve as signs for the believers. Sometimes, he was permitted to heal people. Other times, he was not.
Ayesha Ahmed:
You sent ababil birds to defeat an army on elephants to protect your own house Kaaba. No ababils showed up when Mo's
house in Madina was attacked three times. He almost got killed once.
The key word here is "almost". Did his would-be assassins succeed? Do you also remember that when Muhammad (pbuh) and
Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) were heading towards Madinah during the Hijra, they took shelter in a cave? When
the unbelievers approached the cave, they found the entrance blocked by a spider's web and a family of pigeons. Thinking
that the cave had not seen any visitors in recent times, they continued to search. You see, Allah (swt) did not need to send an
army of birds to protect His Prophet. All He needed was an insignificant spider and a few pigeons! Truly, this was a miracle!
Ayesha Ahmed:
Sulaiman was helped by superhuman invisible help in his wars. No such help for Mo. Yes he won many wars but It was the lure
of booty, captured women and the 72 perpetually virgin houris in heaven for martyrs which made his soldiers fight and win, not
your ababil birds or the thousands of angels which were promised but never showed up.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Do you forget the Battle of Badr? Let us see what the Quran says:
Allah had already given you the victory at Badr, when ye were contemptible. So observe your duty to Allah in order that ye
may be thankful. (Sura al-Imran:123)
"When ye sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying): I will help you with a thousand of the angels, rank on rank.
Allah appointed it only as good tidings, and that your hearts thereby might be at rest. Victory cometh only by the help of Allah.
Lo! Allah is Mighty, Wise. Remember He covered you with a sort of drowsiness, to give you calm as from Himself, and he
caused rain to descend on you from heaven, to clean you therewith, to remove from you the stain of Satan, to strengthen your
hearts, and to plant your feet firmly therewith. Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give
firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their
finger-tips off them."" (Sura al-Anfal:9-12)
We also found the following narration in Sahih Muslim (it is quite lengthy so I will quote only the relevant parts):
"It has been narrated on the authority of 'Umar b. al-Khattab who said: When it was the day on which the Battle of Badr was
fought, the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) cast a glance at the infidels, and they were one thousand while his
own Companions were three hundred and nineteen. [...] So Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, revealed (the Qur'anic verse):"
When ye appealed to your Lord for help, He responded to your call (saying): I will help you with one thousand angels coming
in succession." So Allah helped him with angels.
Abu Zumail said that the hadith was narrated to him by Ibn 'Abbas who said: While on that day a Muslim was chasing a
disbeliever who was going ahead of him, he heard over him' the swishing of the whip and the voice of the rider saying: Go
ahead, Haizi'm! He glanced at the polytheist who had (now) fallen down on his back. When he looked at him (carefully he
found that) there was a scar on his nose and his face was torn as if it had been lashed with a whip, and had turned green with
its poison. An Ansari came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and related this (event) to him. He said: You
have told the truth. This was the help from the third heaven." (Book 19, Number 4360)
Ayesha Ahmed:
You were sending Jibraeel for every little information, even to show how to wipe asses, why didn't you send him to warn Mo
against eating the poisoned meat which pained him so much and eventually took his life?
You refer to the attempted poisoning by the Jews of Khaibar. Of course, those with even an iota of intelligence know that the
incident in question occurred around 3 years before Muhammad's death! What kind of poison did they use? It took 3 years for
it to take effect? Your ignorance and utter stupidity blind you to logic and reason. What can we expect from the blind and deaf?
Ayesha Ahmed:
In view of the above facts, can you still say you were fair to Mohammad?
Very much so, because Muhammad (pbuh) will have an exalted place of honor in the Hereafter. You unbelievers just cannot
seem to realize that to the believers, the Hereafter is much more desired than this frivolous, temporary existence on earth. You
can have this life, but you will not have any portion of the next, except the blazing fire. How do you want yourself? Well done?
Or medium-rare? Ciao.
Ends ...
