Allah a servant of Muhammad

 “Why, O Prophet dost thou hold that to be forbidden, which God hath made lawful to thee, from a desire to please thy wives, since God is lenient, and merciful. Verily God is his protector. Happily if he put you both away, his Lord in exchange will give him wives better than you, Muslims, believers, devoutly penitent, obedient, observant of fasting, both known of men and virgins.” (50: 1, 5)

C. ~ If we reflect a little on the above, we shall see that God is but a servant of Mohammad to manage his affairs – internal as well as external! Two stories are told in connection with the first verse. One is that Mohammad was excessively fond honey and water. He had many wives, and one day he was delayed while taking this drink in a house of one of them. The delay rather irritated his other wives. Mohammad then swore that he would never again drink honey and water. The second story is that one night Mohammad was to go to a particular wife of his. She was not there – in fact she was gone to her father’s house; Mohammad, therefore, sanctified a female slave of his! When the wife referred to came to know of this, she became angry with the prophet and made him swear that he would never do such a thing again, while he asked her to bind herself to observe the secrecy, she promised not do disclose the matter to anyone. But then he went to another wife of his and narrated the story to her. God then inspired Mohammad with this verse:-

“Why dos thou consider that to be forbidden which God hath made lawful?” etc. Le the wise declare if ever God acts as an arbitrator in the household affairs of any man. And as regards Mohammad’s character, sufficient light is thrown on it by the aforementioned stories, for how can a man, who is the husband of many wives, be either a pious man or a prophet? Again, is he not partial, and therefore, sinful who, actuated by partiality, disgraces one wife and honors another. And how can he, who, not being content with many wives, co-habits with his slaves, be moral, God-fearing and pious? Some one has well said:-

“The debauchee is not afraid or ashamed (or his turpitude)”! Even the God of these people acted as judge deciding disputes between the prophet and his wives. Let the wise now say whether the Quran is written by God or is it the work of some ignorant, and selfish fellow. Again, from the second verse it appears that when a wife or Mohammad God angry with him, God threatened her by saying that if she continued recalcitrant and Mohammad divorced her on that account, He would give him better wives, who had not had any sexual connection with any man before. Any person, with a grain of sense in him, can understand whether these are the doings of God or of a being who is bent upon gaining his own selfish ends. These things clearly show that God said nothing of the sort, and that it was Mohammad, and not God who said anything suited to the occasion to serve his selfish purpose and attributed all these things to God. Not only we but all thoughtful men will say that (the Mohammedan) God was a mere procurer of wives for Mohammad.

” O Prophet, make war on the infidels and hypocrites and deal rigorously with them.” (66: 9.)

C. ~ Again, mark the wonders wrought by the Mohammedan God! He incites the Prophet and the Mohammedans to fight with persons professing other religions. This is why Mohammedans are always engaged in war. May God have pity on the Muslims, so that they may give up fighting and live on friendly terms with all.
