Allah is Dictatorial, Racist and Misogynist-8(ii)


Allah created Muhammad to be the best of His creations

In the following hadith Allah declares clearly that He had chosen the Arabs and made Muhammad the best of His creation (Sahih Muslim, 30.5653). Book 030, Number 5653:
Wathila b. al-Asqa' reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Verily Allah granted eminence to Kinana from amongst the descendants of Isma'il and he granted eminence to the Quraish amongst Kinana and he granted eminence to the Quraish amongst Banu Hashim and he granted me eminence from the tribe of Banu Hashim.

In verse 3:110 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/003.qmt.html) Allah further commands that Muslims (Islam) are the best of righteous people. Ibn Kathir provides the 'genuine' reason why Allah has made Muslims the best people on earth. He writes that the Muslims are the best nation because they bring the unbelievers tied in chains on their necks, that is: capture them in wars, and later force them into Islam (Link (http://www.qtafsir.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=503&Itemid=46)).
The above hadith simply confirms Ibn Kathir's assertion of the bigoted and chauvinist nature of Allah.
Let us read another verse from the Qur'an.
Allah promises the sovereignty of the believers on earth; and will establish the authority of Allah's chosen religion (Islam); disbelievers are miscreants…24:55 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/024.qmt.html)
On the explanation of the above verse, Ibn Kathir writes thatAllah has made Muslims the leaders and rulers of mankind through whom He would reform the world and to whom people would submit, so that they would have in exchange a safe security after their fear (Link (http://www.qtafsir.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2416&Itemid=79)).
Allah is the owner of the heavens and the earth; He is adamant on establishing His dictatorship

Many verses in the Qur'an declare that Allah, truly, is a dictator. He rules earth in an absolute dictatorial manner. Below, I am providing excerpts of a few selected verses from the Qur'an. Please note that in many of these verses; it is quite clear that the speaker is not Allah, but someone else, most probably Muhammad. This should leave us beyond a shadow of doubt that Allah's dictatorship is actually Muhammad (i.e. Islam's) dictatorship.
Exalt Allah, He is the owner of the Throne (Muhammad is talking here and not Allah)…23:116 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/023.qmt.html)
The dominion of the heavens and the earth belong to Allah alone, and to Allah is the final goal…24:42 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/024.qmt.html)
Sovereignty belongs to Allah; there is no Allah but Him. Everything will perish except Allah's face (Allah has a face)…28:88 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/028.qmt.html)
Allah is the sole owner of whatsoever in the heavens and on earth…34:1 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/034.qmt.html)
There is only one Allah…37:4 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/037.qmt.html)
Allah has the supreme authority (His kingdom) on the heavens and the earth…57:5 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/057.qmt.html)
All Kingships is with Allah…67:1 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/067.qmt.html)
Allah makes His own laws

The dictatorial disposition of Allah is not limited only to exercising His authority and dominance on all human. Allah makes His laws arbitrarily, at will. The Sharia expert, Abdur Rahman Doi, has no hesitation in propagating that Allah is the Law Giver (Doi, 1998, p 2). Quoting the Qur'an and ahadith he confirms that the only law on earth should be the Islamic Sharia (ibid) because Allah's dictatorship is executed only through Sharia which is derived from the Book (the Qur'an and ahadith) and enforced by the Balance (Islamic court of law).
Let us read a few sample verses from the Qura'an on Allah's absolute dictatorship through Sharia (the fountain?head of Islam).
Allah had sent Muhammad (to the people of Mecca) as a messenger to preach the Qur'an and to teach subjects (Sharia laws) which they did not know…2:151 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/002.qmt.html)
Allah had sent Muhammad to invite people to obey Allah's orders (sharia laws); if the unbelievers seek forgiveness then Allah and Muhammad could forgive them…4:64 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/004.qmt.html)
Qur'an is sent as a truth; it contains laws to judge people (i.e., Qur'an is a book of law)…4:105 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/004.qmt.html)
Allah's law (Sharia) is binding to all…4:135 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/004.qmt.html)
Allah accepts only Sharia and no other laws…7:29 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/007.qmt.html), 57:25 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/057.qmt.html)
Allah is the Law?giver; He appointed Muhammad to implement the only correct laws (Sharia laws)…45:18 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/045.qmt.html)
Allah demands fear from His believers

Fear is the prime motivation which forces people to obey a dictator. No wonder then that Allah demands fear from human. He orders them to fear Him and Muhammad and to obey them (24:52-53). 024.052
YUSUFALI: It is such as obey Allah and His Messenger, and fear Allah and do right, that will win (in the end),
024.053
YUSUFALI: They swear their strongest oaths by Allah that, if only thou wouldst command them, they would leave (their homes). Say: "Swear ye not; Obedience is (more) reasonable; verily, Allah is well acquainted with all that ye do."
Here are a few ahadith which demonstrate how Allah, through Muhammad, inflicts absolute fear on ordinary people.
Muhammad used a lash to beckon and order people...(Sahih Bukhari, 2.26.731) Volume 2, Book 26, Number 731:
Narrated Ibn Abbas. : I proceeded along with the Prophet on the day of 'Arafat (9th Dhul-Hijja). The Prophet heard a great hue and cry and the beating of camels behind him. So he beckoned to the people with his lash, "O people! Be quiet. Hastening is not a sign of righteousness."
Paradise is under the shades of swords…(Sahih Bukhari, .4.52.73, 210) Volume 4, Book 52, Number 73:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abi Aufa: Allah's Apostle said, "Know that Paradise is under the shades of swords."
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 210:
Narrated Salim Abu An-Nadr: The freed slave of 'Umar bin 'Ubaidullah who was 'Umar's clerk: 'Abdullah bin Abi Aufa wrote him (i.e. 'Umar) a letter that contained the following:-- "Once Allah's Apostle (during a holy battle), waited till the sun had declined and then he got up among the people and said, "O people! Do not wish to face the enemy (in a battle) and ask Allah to save you (from calamities) but if you should face the enemy, then be patient and let it be known to you that Paradise is under the shades of swords." He then said,, "O Allah! The Revealer (sic)of the (Holy) Book, the Mover of the clouds, and Defeater of Al-Ahzab (i.e. the clans of infidels), defeat them (sic) infidels and bestow victory upon us." Like a supreme dictator, Allah dissolves treaties at will

Muhammad made compact with his adversaries only to break them at will when situation permitted. He did this because Allah wanted it that way-to force his will at the right time.
Let us read verse 9:2-3 to witness the naked aggression of a dictatorial Allah. Mind you, sura 9 is the last sura, so its provision is the latest and still applicable today whenever Islam plants firmly its root in any place on earth.
Allah and Muhammad dissolve the treaty with the pagans…9:2-3 009.002
YUSUFALI: Go ye, then, for four months, backwards and forwards, (as ye will), throughout the land, but know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah (by your falsehood) but that Allah will cover with shame those who reject Him.
009.003
YUSUFALI: And an announcement from Allah and His Messenger, to the people (assembled) on the day of the Great Pilgrimage,- that Allah and His Messenger dissolve (treaty) obligations with the Pagans. If then, ye repent, it were best for you; but if ye turn away, know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah. And proclaim a grievous penalty to those who reject Faith.

Allah grabs by force lands of the unbelievers (non-Muslims)

The early history of Islam is the history of subjugation by force of non-Muslims. It is the history written with rivers of blood and Islamic mayhem.
Eminent Islamic historian, Baladhuri readily admits that Muhammad had said all districts and cities were conquered by force, but al-Madinah was conquered by the Qur'an…(Baladhuri, Tr. Philip K. Hitti, 2002, p 21). He even writes that the first Islamic land annexed by force was the Jewish land of Banu Nadir, a Jewish tribe who lived in Medina when Muhammad migrated there (ibid, p 33).
Let us pursue the following verses from the Qur'an to understand how much Allah craves to grab forcibly infidel lands. We might wonder why, despite the entire earth to Him, Allah still has to resort to plunder and bloodshed to grab the land of the unbelievers.
Allah gradually reduces the land controlled by the unbelievers...21:44 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/021.qmt.html)
Allah destroyed many population, deserted many lands and then Allah appropriated those lands (Allah grabs the land of the unbelievers)…28:58 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/028.qmt.html)
Allah gradually reduces the land under the control of the unbelievers from its outlying borders (Also see 46:27)…13:41 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/013.qmt.html)

On the above verse, Ibn Kathir writes that the verse refers to Muslims' gaining upper hand over idolaters.
Allah made Muhammad the heir to the properties of the people of the Book (the appropriation of B. Qurayzah Jews' lands)...33:27 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/033.qmt.html)
It was Allah who banished the unbelievers amongst the people of the book (Banu Nadir Jews) from their homes through terror (cutting down of date palm trees)...59:2 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/059.qmt.html)
To appropriate infidel lands Allah even exhorts that the unbelievers must fear Muslims. Allah truly declares that Muslims are terrorists as is explicated by the tafsir of ibn Kathir.
God casts terror in the hearts of unbelievers; they will reside in hell…3:151 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/003.qmt.html)
To clarify Allah's mind as depicted in this verse, ibn Kathir writes that Allah next conveys the good news that He will put fear of the Muslims and feelings of subordination to the Muslims in the hearts of their disbelieving enemies, because of their Kufr and Shirk (Link (http://www.qtafsir.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=489&Itemid=46)).
Allah loves to destroy infidels (non-Muslims)

Here are more verses from the Qur'an to describe the cruelty of Allah towards the non-believers.
Allah helps the Muslims to defeat and destroy the unbelievers…3:127 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/003.qmt.html)
Allah destroyed the Midyan infidels through an earthquake…7:91 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/007.qmt.html)
When the unbelievers rejoice bumper crops without attributing that to Allah, He destroys their crop by levelling the crop field (through natural calamity)…10:24 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/010.qmt.html)
Allah will destroy the wrong?doers (unbelievers)…14:13 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/014.qmt.html)
When Allah decides to destroy a population He warns its leaders, they indulge in insolence for a brief period, and then Allah inflicts on them an utter destruction...17:16 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/017.qmt.html)
Allah has destroyed many generations after Noah; He is the most efficient to punish the sinners…17:17 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/017.qmt.html)
Truth has arrived and falsehood has perished (this verse was revealed when Muhammad conquered Mecca and entered Ka'ba and destroyed 360 idols there)...17:81 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/017.qmt.html)
Allah destroys whomever He is angry with...20:81 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/020.qmt.html)
Allah destroyed all the community of the unbelievers, yet they disbelieve…21:6 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/021.qmt.html)
In the past Allah had destroyed many populations; He will surely do this in the present time...21:11 (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/021.qmt.html)
Allah's dictatorial nature does not spare even the children. In many Islamic Jihad raids, Allah's soldiers had killed tender?aged, innocent children of the pagans. This cruelty of Allah is still alive today. The world watched with utter horror how Allah's foot soldiers killed mercilessly the kindergarten children in Beslan, Russia.
To understand, why such Islamic slaughter of children might never end, we need to read the following ahadith.
Muhammad approved killing of women and children of the pagans because they (the children) are from them…(Sahih Bukhari 4.52.256) Volume 4, Book 52, Number 256:
Narrated As-Sab bin Jaththama: The Prophet passed by me at a place called Al-Abwa or Waddan, and was asked whether it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, "They (i.e. women and children) are from them (i.e. pagans)." I also heard the Prophet saying, "The institution of Hima is invalid except for Allah and His Apostle."
Later, Allah's (read Muhammad's) conscience was so deeply perturbed that he had to advise his fighters to spare women and children in some special cases. These exceptions only for a very few raids and plunder.
Let us read the following hadith:
In some Ghazwas (Jihad) Muhammad forbade the killing of women and children… (Sahih Bukhari, 4.52.257) Volume 4, Book 52, Number 257:
Narrated 'Abdullah: During some of the Ghazawat of the Prophet a woman was found killed. Allah's Apostle disapproved the killing of women and children.
Muhammad blessed Jarir for conducting the genocide (including the children) at Dhu Khalasa…(Sahih Bukhari, 4.52.262) Volume 4, Book 52, Number 262:
Narrated Jarir: Allah's Apostles said to me, "Will you relieve me from Dhul-Khalasa? Dhul-Khalasa was a house (of an idol) belonging to the tribe of Khath'am called Al-Ka'ba Al-Yama-niya. So, I proceeded with one hundred and fifty cavalry men from the tribe of Ahmas, who were excellent knights. It happened that I could not sit firm on horses, so the Prophet stroke me over my chest till I saw his finger-marks over my chest, he said, 'O Allah! Make him firm and make him a guiding and rightly guided man.' " Jarir proceeded towards that house, and dismantled and burnt it. Then he sent a messenger to Allah's Apostle informing him of that. Jarir's messenger said, "By Him Who has sent you with the Truth, I did not come to you till I had left it like an emancipated or gabby camel (i.e. completely marred and spoilt)." Jarir added, "The Prophet asked for Allah's Blessings for the horses and the men of Ahmas five times."
