HADEES : MUHAMMAD HAS THE LARGEST FOLLOWING ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT

MUHAMMAD HAS THE LARGEST FOLLOWING ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT

Muhammad tells us that he �will have the greatest following on the Day of Resurrection� (283).  And understandably so, for the hellfire is on his side.  The hellfire will be busy consuming the opponents of Muhammad, and there will be no one left for Paradise to receive except the Muslims.

Muhammad tells us: �He who amongst the community of Jews and Christians hears about me, but does not affirm his belief in that with which I have been sent and dies in this state of disbelief, he shall be but one of the denizens of Hell-Fire� (284).  The Jews and Christians will suffer in hell not only for their own unbelief in Muhammad, they will also act as proxies for any Muslims who happen to be sent there.  �There would come people amongst the Muslim on the Day of Resurrection with as heavy sins as a mountain, and Allah would forgive them and he would place in their stead the Jews and the Christians,� Muhammad tells us (6668).  This would also, incidentally, solve the problem of space in heaven: �Space in paradise would be provided by Christians and Jews being thrown into Hell-Fire,� the translator tells us (note 2967).

Another important segment of the infernal population is made up of women.  Muhammad says, �O womenfolk . . . I saw you in bulk amongst the dwellers of Hell.� When a woman asks him why it should be so, Muhammad tells her: �You curse too much and are ungrateful to your spouses.  I have seen none [like them] lacking in common sense and failing in religion but robbing the wisdom of the wise.� The �proof of the lack of common sense� in them is the fact that in Allah�s law promulgated by Muhammad himself, �the evidence of two women is equal to one man�; and the proof of their failing in religion, as he tells them, is that �you spend some nights and days in which you do not offer prayer and in the month of RamzAn you do not observe fast� (142).  Women sometimes abstained from voluntary fasts because the Prophet had commanded that it was more meritorious for them to do their duty by their husbands than to fast.  �Aisha, the Prophet�s wife, did not observe some fasts �due to the regards for the Apostle of Allah� (2550).  But, it seems, the very merit of women turns into its opposite: predestined damnation
