CHAPTER
SIX:
The
Koran and Paradise:
Here
is another area of tremendous disagreement between the Bible and the Koran. You
will see that the God of the Bible could not possibly tolerate the view of heaven
which Mohammed gave. To the Christian reader this seems like a silly comment,
for it is obvious, but Islam claims that Allah and Jehovah are one and the same.
This book is meant to show the Muslim reader that Allah and Jehovah are not only
different, one is a devil if the Bible is true. I trust this picture is helping
you understand the issues.
All religious systems teach some way to reach heaven because God created man with
a conscience. The conscience of man tells him that this is an imperfect world,
and that he is a part of the problem causing imperfection in the creation. A man's
conscience convinces him that he is getting ready for the future after death.
God made man to long for a heaven or paradise where there is holiness and no sin
and suffering. I was a pall bearer at a Jewish funeral. The lady who had died
was a Liberal Jew, and this group had no hope of eternal life. The Rabbi was trying
to comfort the family in his graveside talk, and he said, "We don't know
where Connie is, but we can just hope that where ever she is, she is better off
now." What pathetic speculation! The Bible offers a heaven to come to the
faithful who believe in Jesus Christ. Mohammed also tried to meet this need in
the human spirit with his paradise after this lif,e which he promised to the faithful
Muslim. Most
religions also give a hell to avoid. Islam gives its followers a heaven (Paradise)
to come and a hell full of boiling water. I shall deal only with the actual teachings
of Islam in this section, which may offend the Muslim reader, but the truth will
help you decide if you are truly on your way to heaven (Paradise) or to hell.
Imam Ahmed
Deedat pretends to be sincere and sweet as he attacks Jesus Christ and Christians.
I pray that God will convince you that my motive, unlike Deedat's, is only to
draw you away from the path to Hell by showing you that the way to the Islamic
Paradise is really the path to Hell. I am not very worried about sweetness, since
the truth is truly sweet in the end. To

Mohammed'S DOCTRINE OF PARADISE
OR HEAVEN
Koran, Sura 9, vs. 72, Allah
promiseth to the believers, men and women, Gardens underneath which rivers flow,
wherein they will abide-- blessed dwellings in Gardens of Eden. And-- greater
far!-- acceptance from Allah. Sura
47, vs. 15, A similitude of the Garden which those who keep their duty (to
Allah) are promised: Therein are rivers of water unpolluted, and rivers of
milk whereof the flavor changeth not, and rivers of wine delicious to the drinkers,
and rivers of clear running honey; therein for them is every kind of fruit, with
pardon from their Lord.
The Mecca of Mohammed's day was a dirty dry town in a desert valley with no
redeeming qualities. The well, Zamzam, gave water of the worst quality, (FOOTNOTE:
12 224 / 34 / 170) while in Taif, another town not far from Mecca, life
was pleasant with good water, fruit trees, and a healthy climate. Mohammed's heaven
sounds a lot like Taif or some other oasis Mohammed may have visited, such as
Taima. Growing up in Mecca, Mohammed knew that control of Arabia by Islam meant
that Mecca had to be the center of Islam physically since it was the crossroad
of all commerce and life in Arabia (FOOTNOTE 13: 133 / 39 / 1475; 26 / 89
/ 1462; 186 / 135 / 652), but he longed for something better than Mecca when he
died and entered eternity.
Now, the above picture of heaven is typical, and it could appear to some readers
that it is the same as the Bible's heaven. So next, we will examine the chief
activities of those who go to heaven: Koran,
Sura 56, vs. 27-38, ...what of those on the right hand? Among thornless lote-trees,
and clustered plantains, and spreading shade, and water gushing, and fruit in
plenty neither out of reach nor yet forbidden, and raised couches; Of a rare creation
have we created the Houris (heavenly concubines), and we have made them
ever virgins, dear to their spouses, of equal age with them, for the people of
the right hand. Verse
22 of the same Sura, And theirs shall be the Houris, with large dark eyes, like
pearls hidden in their shells. Sura
44, 51-54, But the pious shall be in a secure place, amid gardens and fountains,
Clothed in silk and richest robes, facing one another: Thus shall it be: and we
will wed them to the virgins with large dark eyes.
We
see that the Paradise of Islam is greatly enhanced by virgins in abundance with
very sensual qualities. The lust of the eyes of men is clearly to be satiated
by Allah.
Page 67
Mohammed's heaven is a place of perpetual youth, perpetual sexual intercourse
with seductive virgins created by Allah for the faithful, and they enjoy perpetual
copulation. Is this analysis too rough? Read on please:
Koran, Sura 25, vs. 15-16,
...the Garden of Immortality which is promised unto those who ward off (evil)?
It will be their reward and journey's end. Therein abiding, they have all that
they desire. It is for thy Lord a promise that must be fulfilled.
Sura 50: 35 There they have
all that they desire, and there is more with Us.
What
is the desire of the average Arab in the Middle East. John Gunther tells of being
the guest of honor at Arab feasts, and the host would leave the meal for a time
to go have intercourse with one of his wives and then return to finish the meal.
The belly dancers of the Middle East also show us the role of the Arab man, which
is to find every opportunity to enjoy copulation. This is not to say that other
men in the world are not lusting sinners. They are, but we need to know that from
the time the Arab male is a baby, he is stimulated to lust. The Arab mothers of
North Africa will fondle their baby boy's penis to see how soon they can raise
an erection. This is thought to make a real man of them when they grow into manhood.
The self-image of the Arab man is that he is a sex machine, and woman are absolutely
helpless to refrain from satisfying this lust. Middle Eastern legends and stories
bear this out. If
Mohammed was to bring the Arabs of his day into the fold of his new religion,
he would have to offer them something in heaven as a great incentive-- Thus, nakedness,
lusty women, and unrestrained copulation would do the trick.
Now, we know well about Mohammed's eleven wives over his lifetime, as well as
his numerous concubines, and we know that Mohammed allowed his male followers
to enjoy Muta Marriage (temporary marriage) during battle times. Also, seeing
the other texts regarding virgins on couches face to face with those in Paradise,
what do you suppose Mohammed meant by "all that they desire"? In a word, copulation!
We deal only with the truth, my friend. Now, back to the Hadith of Mohammed:
Al Hadis, Book 4, Chap.
42, 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 will desire a beauty, he will have intercourse with them.'
Attested Tirmizi.
I
gave this exactly as Haji Fazlul Maulana of Pakistan reported it in his version
of the Hadith. Mohammed clearly implies that the men who go to Paradise will have
a choice to have intercourse with either young men or young women. I did not say
that-- Mohammed did. Al
Hadis, Chap. No. 36, Abu Syeed reported that the Messenger of Allah said: '...When
a believer hopes for a child in paradise, his gestation and his birth and his
growth will be in one hour as he will wish.' Attested by Ibn Majah, Tirmizi.
Joseph
Smith of the Latter Day Saints said the gestation period of women in heaven would
be the same as on earth. By the standard of Mohammed, it would seem that the Muslims
in Paradise will get ahead of the Mormons in a hurry.
Al Hadis, Chap. No. 23,
Abu Sayeed reported that the Messenger of Allah said: '...For every man among
them (in Paradise) there will be two wives, and over every wife, there
will be seventy mantles through which the marrow of her leg will be seen.' Attested
by Tirmizi.
The
appeal here is that the Muslim man in Paradise will be able to see virtually everything
about a woman in Paradise. If he can see her bone marrow, he sure can see her
naked body as well. The lust of the eyes is obvious, but I wonder if this is a
blessing for the Muslim woman to contemplate? Muslim women in Paradise will be
giving a perpetual strip show to the men. Al
Hadis, Chap. No. 652, Abu Sayeed reported the Messenger of Allah said: '...There
will be seventy dresses over her, but his sight will penetrate through them till
the marrow of her leg will be seen through them, and there will be over her caps,
of which the meanest space will certainly shine on what will be between the east
and the west.' Attested by Ahmed.
This is nothing but the lust of the eyes. Mohammed had one thing on his mind
when he thought of heaven-- naked women and eternal copulation. The clever wording
of the end thought above sounds like a cryptic discussion of naked breasts. What
sacred bliss to be able to peek at the ladies through their clothes! What does
the Muslim woman have to look forward to in Paradise? In a word-- visual rape!
In the Muslim
Paradise, the women will be raped forever, and the Mormon ladies in their heaven
will be pregnant forever. This is not the only doctrine in which Mohammed and
Joseph Smith have much in common. Koran,
Sura 43, vs. 69-71, (Regarding those) who have believed in our signs and
became Muslims: Enter ye and your wives into Paradise, delighted. Dishes and bowls
of gold shall go round unto them: there shall they enjoy whatever their souls
desire, and whatever their eyes delight in...
Page 68
The only way a Muslim woman gets into heaven is by marrying a Muslim. Allah
wants women married so that they can satisfy the men of heaven. Single women have
no hope of going to Mohammed's Paradise. We already read above about the Houris
promised to the Muslim woman's husband, so, we can see that a Muslim woman in
Paradise will have the joy of watching her husband copulate with innumerable women
from the market of virgins.
Also, all of the other men of Paradise, who are not her husband, will look right
through this Muslim lady's clothing to enjoy her nakedness. What a horror of lust
for a woman who endured the distrust of her husband all her life on earth (FOOTNOTE
14: 121 / 118-125 / 1725-1728 ) Is this strip show she has to perform her
reward for being chaste? Can
you see why some scholars think that Joseph Smith of Mormonism got his revelation
from the same source as Mohammed? Like Mohammed, Joseph Smith encouraged
Mormon men to lust for other men's wives by marrying them out from under the first
husband. How? Marry them for "eternity" to use in the future in heaven.
This is the same lustful "heaven" as Mohammed's Paradise. To
show how much some Muslim men believe this sexual lust is the work of Allah for
them in Paradise, we note that one of the terrorist pilots in the 9/11 attack
had a wedding suit of silk packed in his suitcase with a couple of bottles of
cologne. It is very obvious that he was not getting ready to have tea with Moses.
Are you beginning
to feel like there must be a higher way of life and faith? Before we consider
the God of the Bible and His holy alternative, please read these last quotes which
show how vile Mohammed was in his thinking of women:
Al Hadis, Book 1, Chapter
2, no. 60- Omme Salmah reported the the Messenger of Allah said: 'Whosoever female
who dies while her husband is pleased with her, will enter Paradise.' Attested
by Tirmizi.
Again, there is a strong hint of subjection of wives to the lusts of their
husbands in order to enter heaven. Could we call this Salvation by self-subjugation?
More on this in Chapter Twenty.
Al Hadis, Book 1, Chapter
2, No. 33- Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah said: 'When a woman says
her five prayers and fasts her month, and guards her private parts, and obeys
her husband, let her enter Paradise by whichever door she likes.' Attested by
Abu Naveem in Hilya.
She could murder her mother and pass this test. There is no repentance and
preparation, during her life, for heaven-- only subjection to the man. Is there
a better way? Answer: Emphatically-- YES! We now look at the Bible description
of Paradise or heaven. THE
BIBLE'S GLORIOUS ANSWER
TO
Mohammed'S PARADISE The
Bible, John 14:1-4,
(Jesus speaks to his disciples) Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe
in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were
not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and
prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye
know.
Jesus
Christ went back to heaven, and he said he would prepare a place for every believer.
The object of the believer is to see Jesus and be with him, for he died and shed
his precious Blood to wash away the sins of the believer. This is a vast contrast
to looking forward to peeking at naked women.
Page 69 The
Bible, Revelation 21:1-5, And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first
heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I
John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared
as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying,
Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they
shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And
God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former
things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all
things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
It is clear that the Heaven of the Bible is new. It is not in the image of
Palestine where Jesus or the Bible writers lived. It is not in the image of an
oasis in the Middle East like Taif or Taima. Nor is it in the image of a lusting
prophet. There is more: The
Bible, Revelation 22:1-5, And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear
as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst
of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life,
which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the
leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no
more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants
shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the
sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
This may sound a little like the Paradise of Mohammed, but note the drastic
differences please. The river comes from God's throne. In Islam the river is just
there to amuse the Muslim. Also, there is no curse because of the presence of
God and Jesus.
Also, the Bible believer doesn't look at the face of two naked Houris or concubines,
or peek through the clothes of the ladies. Rather; the believer in Jesus Christ
looks into the face of God and Jesus. Instead of rolling on couches and copulating
forever, the Bible believer is reigning in heaven forever with God. Quite a difference,
eh? Now, we shall see that He whom Mohammed allegedly "blessed" in the Koran,
The Lord Jesus Christ, Al-Rub, completely contradicts Mohammed about marriage
and copulation in heaven: The
Bible, Mark 12:18-25, Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no
resurrection; and they asked him, saying. Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's
brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother
should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. Now
there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also. In the
resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them?
for the seven had her to wife. And
Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the
scriptures, neither the power of God? For when they shall rise from the dead,
they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are
in heaven.
Page 70
They do not give or take in marriage in the heaven of the Bible, of which Mohammed
said his Koran was the completion. Neither does the God of the Bible provide virgins
for rampant copulation. Nor does He cause women in heaven to be the object of
lusting eyes. They are as the angels means that all Bible believers, when they
arrive in heaven, will be male. "He," as God the Father, Jesus Christ,
and the Holy Spirit are referred to in the whole Bible as "He." There
is NO she in the heaven of the Bible. There is no copulation in the Bible's heaven.
There are no transparent clothes either. Note: The
Bible, Revelation 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar
the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which
they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord,
holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on
the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was
said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants
also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
The
Bible, Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful
in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered
me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments,
and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth bringeth
forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring
forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before
all the nations.
When
God clothes his people, the clothes are not designed to let men lust for women.
The robes God provides for his children are made of God's own righteousness. It
is beyond the most liberal imagination to imagine that the righteousness of the
God of the Bible makes women to be naked to the gaze of men. This is the manner
of Allah, according to Mohammed, but Jehovah cannot do such filthy things. When
the Bible talks about the bride and the bridegroom in heaven, it is not talking
about copulation. This image is of God the Father letting Jesus Christ (the Bridegroom)
gather His Bride to him, which is the Church made up of all believers in all ages.
EVERY individual in the picture is a "he," including God the Father,
Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and all believers of all ages. The image of Bride and
Bridegroom is strictly a spiritual image. Now,
to prove that God would not provide all men in the heaven of the Bible with wanton
visual lust, let us look at the standard of a man of God in ages past:
The Bible, Job 31:1, I made
a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
If Job would not look on a woman in lust in this earth, then why in heaven?
As we noted above, there is no gender in heaven as we know it on earth. As with
the angels, all are "male" but in some sense which we do not understand. We are
now male and female, but in heaven that distinction will no longer mean anything.
Look at the high standard of Jesus Christ: The
Bible, Matthew 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt
not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman
to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Jesus
said that looking on a woman in lust was the same as adultery. It is insane logic
to assume that this is sin on earth, but it is not sin in heaven. Of course, there
are no women in heaven-- all are "he." But, the teaching of Jesus shows
that Jehovah God is not in the business of providing naked ladies for men, as
is the case with Allah's Paradise. It
is now clear that the Bible and the Koran are in total contradiction with each
other. It is also clear that the Paradise of the Muslim is a filthy whore house
compared to the exalted heaven of the Bible. Again, I caution Christians not to
attack their Muslim friends personally with this. Few of them have really confronted
the ugly side of this teaching, and we must expose it with care and compassion,
but we must tell them. Mohammed was simply trying to sanctify his own lusts in
his notion of Paradise. You must remember that the Prophet Mohammed is the one
who married his last wife, Aiysha, when she was nine years old, and he consummated
that marriage shortly thereafter. This man was very UNLIKE Job of the Bible. But,
we also must face the fact that many Muslim men will not consider the Bible and
salvation through Jesus Christ, for they are eager to get to Paradise where they
can let their lusts go out of control and copulate forever. These men have minds
which are destroyed with lust, and only a miracle will shake them out of their
filthy dreams.
Now, can we give hope to the unmarried women, to belly dancers whom Islam considers
dogs, to city women whom Muslim men have lusted after and then discarded, and
to those women raped in the name of Allah during wicked jihadic wars? I.E. Kuwaiti
and Iranian women raped by Iraqi soldiers. The
Bible, I Corinthians 7:8-9, I (Paul) say therefore to the unmarried and
widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain
(control themselves), let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
Singleness is not considered evil or ungodly in the Bible. The Apostle Paul
was probably single from being widowed, but he suggests that singleness is a high
calling: The
Bible, I Corinthians 7:28, But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if
a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the
flesh: but I spare you.
Page 71
By this Paul means that a woman who can remain single will avoid much sorrow,
but he says marriage is good also. The
Bible, I Corinthians 7:34-35, There is difference also between a wife and a virgin.
The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both
in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world,
how she may please her husband. And this I speak for your own profit; not that
I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely (appropriate), and
that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
The Apostle here suggests that single women have a special opportunity to serve
the Lord undistracted. Satisfying the lusts of a man, which assures a Muslim woman
entry into Paradise, is NOT the Bible way for a woman to find salvation. Only
the Bible offers such an exalted place to the woman who will repent and believe
in the Lord Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. She can have back the purity
of Eve before she sinned, for Jesus has removed her sin by his death and resurrection
on the cross. Islam offers no such cleansing. "Used" women in Islam
are damned to hell without hope. The
Bible, II Corinthians 5:17, Therefore if any man (or woman) be in Christ,
he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become
new.
The most degraded belly dancer from the streets of Cairo can be cleansed of
her filthy deeds and made clean and pleasing to God, and she has just as much
promise to heaven as the most pious Apostle if she has repented to God and believed
in the Lord Jesus Christ. CONCLUSION: How
could the God of the Bible and Allah of Al Koran come up with these two extremely
opposite plans for heaven if they were one and the same, as Mohammed claimed?
There is only one heaven-- the heaven of eternal joy with God the Father and The
Lord Jesus Christ. The Paradise of copulation and gorging one's belly is only
found in the fantasies of dirty old men and lusting Mullahs. How frightening to
realize that the Paradise of Islam will, in fact, be a burning hell.
To my Arab Christian reader, I now dare to suggest to you that the God of the
Bible is not Allah! This name is not found in the Bible and Allah's behavior was
disgusting from the ancient past. Later we will see things more clearly, but you
might as well start praying about this right now.

LINKS: Excellent
discussion of Paradise in Islam from Answering Islam The
rebuttal to Answering Islam is not very convincing-- Indeed, it is damning From
Islam Review-- Nothing in Common In
Christianity Heaven's pleasures are pleasures of spirit, pleasures of purity.
In Islam
Paradise is the place where a Muslim will be reclining, eating meats and delicious
fruits, drinking exquisite wines, and engaging in sex with beautiful women (and
perpetually young beautiful boys "Wildan or Ghilman", according to some Muslim
theologians). "As
to the righteous, they will be in gardens and in happiness (to them will be said:)
"Eat and drink ye, with profit and health, because of your (good) deeds "They
will recline (with ease) on thrones (of dignity) arranged in ranks; and we shall
join (marry) them to companions with beautiful big and lustrous eyes... And we
shall bestow on them, of fruit and meat, anything they desire. They shall there
exchange, one another, a cup free of frivolity, free of all taint of ill. Round
about them youth (handsome) as pearls well-guarded." Surah 52:17, 19, 20 & 22-24
Hell
is the ultimate destination of all Muslims according to Mohammed and the Koran The
only alternative to going to hell, a SURE alternative, is to kill and be killed
for Allah Mohammed
gave revelation that he would be married to Mary,
the mother of Jesus
Christ, in heaven, and Mary would be his
Houri to pleasure him sexually for
eternity
