In this article I shall describe the Islamic Paradise or Jannat which was invented by Prophet Mohammed to bribe the Arabs into committing hedious crimes by promising them materialistic things which they couldn't obtain in the harsh desert. The paradise contains six important items: beautiful virgins, young boys, water, wine, fruits and wealth.
To prove my point I have taken verses from the Koran and quotes from the Hadiths.
VIRGINS (HOURIS)
Mohammed knew that sex would sell very well among the group of his lecherous followers who were motivated to fight battles by the promise of sex slaves and booty. By constantly emphasizing to his followers that they would get untouched virgins in Paradise, Mohammed is clearly expressing his "high" opinion of the institution of marriage and his fairness to women. Once the followers go to heaven, they can conveniently ditch their wives for the fresher and more pleasurable sexual encounters with 'Houris' (beautiful virgins). Not only that, the poor wives who gave up their virginity for the pleasure of their husbands do not get even one Male Sex Bomb. But wait, Allah is all merciful! He gives the wives the rare honour of watching their husbands deflower those 72 Houris (virgins) and 28 young pre-pubescent boys.
The relevant verses from the Koran are:
Koran
78:31
As for the
righteous, they shall surely triumph. Theirs shall be gardens and
vineyards, and high- bosomed virgins for companions: a truly
overflowing cup.
Koran
37:40-48
...They
will sit with bashful, dark-eyed virgins, as chaste as the
sheltered eggs of ostriches.
Koran
44:51-55
...Yes and
We shall wed them to dark-eyed houris. (beautiful virgins)
Koran
52:17-20
...They
shall recline on couches ranged in rows. To dark-eyed houris (virgins)
we shall wed them...
Koran
55:56-57
In them
will be bashful virgins neither man nor Jinn will have touched
before.Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny ?"
Koran
55:57-58
Virgins as
fair as corals and rubies. Then which of the favours of your Lord
will you deny ?"
Koran
56:7-40
...We
created the houris (the beautiful women) and made them virgins,
loving companions for those on the right hand.. "
Koran
55:70-77
"In
each there shall be virgins chaste and fair... Dark eyed virgins
sheltered in their tents whom neither man nor Jin will have
touched before..
In the Hadiths, Mohammed goes one step further and expands the promise of virgins to include a free sex market where there is no limit of the number of sexual partners. Women and young boys are on display as if in a fruit market where you can choose the desired ripeness.
Quote from Hadiths
Al
Hadis, Vol. 4, p. 172, No. 34
Ali
reported that the Apostle of Allah said, "There is in
Paradise a market wherein there will be no buying or selling, but
will consist of men and women. When a man desires a beauty, he
will have intercourse with them."
YOUNG BOYS
Homosexuality was and is widely practised in Islamic conutries. To please the homosexuals among his followers he promised them pre-pubescent boys in Paradise. So after committing plunder, loot, rape and murder in this life, the followers of Islam get "rewarded" by untouched virginal youths who are fresh like pearls.
The relevant verses from the Koran are:
Koran
52:24
Round
about them will serve, to them, boys (handsome) as pearls well-guarded.
Koran
56:17
Round
about them will serve boys of perpetual freshness.
Koran
76:19
And round
about them will serve boys of perpetual freshness: if thou seest
them, thou wouldst think them scattered pearls.
As mentioned in my previous
article, famous poets in Arabia glorified homosexuality. As an
example I am including a poem in 'Perfumed Garden' by Abu Nuwas:
O the joy
of sodomy!
So now be sodomites, you Arabs.
Turn not away from it--
therein is wondrous pleasure.
Take some coy lad with kiss-curls
twisting on his temple
and ride as he stands like some gazelle
standing to her mate.
A lad whom all can see girt with sword
and belt not like your whore who has
to go veiled.
Make for smooth-faced boys and do your
very best to mount them, for women are
the mounts of the devils
Need I say anything more after this colorful rendition by Abu
Nuwas ?
WATER
One of the major problems in the desert of Arabia was shortage of pure water. Mohammed knew very well that to the Arabians, fresh water was an item of luxury. So promising them abundant pure water, river, fountains and springs in paradise would defintely lure them to murder, loot and plunder people of other religions in this life.
The relevant verses from the Koran are:
Koran
13:35
This is
the paradise which the righteous have been promised: it is
watered by running streams..
Koran
3:198
As for
those that fear their Lord, theirs shall be gardens watered by
running streams in which they will abide for ever, and a goodly
welcome from God...
Koran
3:136
...These
shall be rewarded with forgiveness from their Lord and with
gardens watered by running streams, where they shall dwell
forever. Blessed is the reward of those who do good works..
Koran
15:45
The
righteous (will be) amid gardens and fountains (of clear flowing
water)
Koran
22:23
As for
those who have faith and who do good work, God will admit them to
gardens watered by running streams..
Koran
47:15
Here is a
Parable Of the Garden which the righteneous are promised: In it
are rivers of water incorruptible;
Koran
55:50-51
In them
each will be two springs flowing free; Then which of the favours
of your Lord will you deny ?
Koran
55:66-67
In them
will be Two Springs pouring forth water in continuous abundance:Then
which of the favours of your Lord will you deny ?
Koran
44:51-55
As for the
righteous, they shall be lodged in peace together amidst gardens
and fountains...
Koran
56:7-40
...They
shall recline on couches raised on high in the shade of thornless
Lote trees and talhs; amidst gushing water...
WINE
Mohammed had to find more selling points besides virgins, young boys and plenty of water. What good would be of Paradise without rivers of wine for his followers? Wine was an extremely precious commodity in the dry deserts of Arabia where it was rare to find vineyards. Mohammed had a problem here- he had to include wine in his 'Paradise-Package' but how could he include it in the list when Allah had declared intoxicants as sinful. The only way to do this was to somehow claim that the wine in the promised Paradise was not intoxicating and therefore not sinful. Never mind the fact that wine by nature contains alcohol which is intoxicating.
The relevant verses from the Koran are:
Koran
47:15
Here is a
Parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised. In it are...rivers
of wine...
Koran
37:40-48
But the
true servants of God shall be well provided for,...they shall be
served with goblet filled at a gushing fountain, white and
delicious to those who drink it. It will neither dull their
senses nor befuddle them.
Koran
56:7-40
They shall
recline on jewelled couches face to face, and there shalt wait on
them immortal youths with bowls and ewers and a cup of purest
wine:
Koran
83:23-26
The
righteous will surely dwell in bliss. Reclining upon soft couches
they will gaze around them: and in their faces you shall mark the
glow of joy. They shall be given a pure wine to drink, securely
sealed, whose very dregs are musk...
FRUITS
So far Mohammed has presented a very appetizing picture of Paradise, but then it struck him that sex is no fun on an empty stomach. Besides that one needs lots of nutrition in order to have the energy to perform with so many Houris and young boys. The prophet was an expert on this subject having honoured every one of his numerous wives and mistresses with a nightly visitation on one single night. Besides the only fruits he had ever gotten to taste in this life was some dates and dry pomegranates. So heaven had to be furbished with an inexhaustible supply of every variety of fruits.
The relevant verses from the Koran are:
Koran
13:35
This is
the paradise which the righteous have been promised.. eternal are
its fruits, and eternal are its shades..
Koran
37:40-48
But the
true servants of God shall be well provided for, festing on fruit
and honoured in the gardens of delight...
Koran
43:68-73
...Such
will be the garden of which ye are made heirs for your deeds. Ye
shall have therein abundance of fruit, from which ye shall have
satisfaction.
Koran
47:15
Here is a
Parable Of the Garden which the righteneous are promised: ...In
it are rivers of milk of which the taste never changes; rivers of
wine, a joy to those who drink; And rivers of honey pure and
clear. In it there are for them all kinds of fruits; And grace
from their Lord..
Koran
55:47-49
Containing
all kinds of trees and delights.Then which of the favours of your
Lord will you deny ?
Koran
55:52-53
In them
there will be fruits of every kind, two and two. Then which of
the favours of your Lord will you deny ?
Koran
55:54-55
...The
fruit of the gardens will be near and easy to reach. Then which
of the favours of your Lord will you deny ?
Koran
55:68-69
In them
will be Fruits, And dates and pomegranates: Then which of the
favours of your Lord will you deny ?
Koran
44:51-55
...Secure
against all ills, they shall call for every kind of fruit..
Koran
56:7-40
They shall
recline on jewelled couches face to face, and there shalt wait on
them immortal youths with ...fruits of their own choices and
flesh of fowls that they relish..
Koran
76:13-21
...Reclining
there upon soft couches, they shall feel neither the scorching
heat nor the biting cold. Trees will spread their shade around
them, and fruits will hang in clusters over them...
But the best was yet to come. The highlight of life in Islamic Pardise is the fact that one doesn't have to go to the toilet. All merciful Allah had miraculously provides a much better system for getting rid of body waste. You simple sweat it out (probably after all that sex or belch after consuming all that fruit and wine)
Quote from the Hadiths:
Sahih
Muslim Book 39, Number 6798, Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:
I heard
Allah's Apostle (pbuh) as saying that the inmates of Paradise
would eat and drink but would neither spit, nor pass water, nor
void excrement, nor suffer catarrh. It was said: Then, what would
happen with food? Thereupon he said: They would belch and sweat (and
it would be over with their food), and their sweat would be that
of musk and they would glorify and praise Allah as easily as you
breathe."
WEALTH
Mohammed wanted to ensure that his followers would not be obsessed with 'worldly things' in this life. So he made sure that they have plenty of worldly things to pursue in heaven.
The relevant verses from the Koran are:
Koran
22:23
As for
those who have faith and who do good work, God will admit them to
gardens watered by running streams. They shall be decked with
pearls and bracelets of gold, and arrayed in garments of silk.
Koran
43:68-73
Enter ye
the Garden, Ye and your wives, in beauty and rejoicing. To them
will be passed round, dishes and goblets of gold: there will be
there all that soul could desire, all that the eyes could delight
in: and ye shall abide there in..
Koran
55:70-77
..They
shall recline on green cushions and fine carpets. Then which of
the favours of your Lord will you deny ?
Koran
44:51-55
As for the
righteous, they shall be lodged in peace together amidst gardens
and fountains, arrayed in rich silks and fine brocade...
Koran
55:54-55
They will
recline on carpets, whose inner linings will be of rich brocade...
Koran
56:7-40
They shall
recline on jewelled couches..
Koran
76:13-21
..They
shall be arrayed in garments of fine green silk and rich
brocade,and adorned with bracelets of silver..
Mohammed's promise of an
Islamic Paradise that glittered with the fulfillment of all sorts
of wordly desires and sense enjoyment was nothing but a sinister
ploy to recruit those who had no hope or expectation of ever
getting these things in their present lives. Knowing that they
are assured of such a Paradise simply because they follow Islam,
Muslims can go around committing murder, rape plunder and loot.
It is the picture of this paradise that has motivated Muslims
over the centuries to cut down people of other religions, to
desecrate their places of worship and mistreat them in the name
of Allah. Even after death, the spritually deprived Prophet of
Islam could not see beyond wine, women and food, leave alone
exploring spiritual heights of the soul.
