Mohammad and the Third Commandment

The Third Commandment
3. You shall not take the name of God in vain. Exodus 20:7

Before I explain how Mohammad (peace be unto him) broke this commandment, I would like to first explain what this commandment means.

The Commandment as it was actually written in Hebrew says something that is vital to our very survival: "You shall not accept or advance in the name or character of Yahweh, your deity, anything that is deceptive or destructive." In other words, do not use Yahweh's name to advance things that are evil.

Assuming that Yahweh is actually Allah (Please see http://muslimhadith.blogspot.com/2009/07/mohammad-and-first-commandment.html; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkrgObVwTSc&feature=channel_page; and how Allah is actually a pagan god of the Arabs who had 3 daughters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO8De1-SZiE&feature=channel_page) I will explain how Mohammad (Peace be unto him) took Yahweh's name in vain.

1) Muhammad (PBUH) vs. the Nadir Jews

Tabari VII:158/Ishaq:437 "Muhammad personally led his men against the Nadir and halted in their quarter. The Jews took refuge against him in their homes, so he ordered their date palms to be cut down and burnt. They shouted, 'Muhammad, you have forbidden wonton destruction of property and have blamed those who perpetrated it. Why are you doing this?'"

Muhammad didn't answer the question directly. He delegated the excuse to his god. A situational scripture authorizing destruction was "handed down."Qur'an 59:5 "The palm trees you cut down or left standing intact was by Allah’s dispensation so that He might disgrace the transgressors."

I'll let you decide if the creator of the universe etched this line on an eternal tablet before the world was created or if Muhammad (PBUH) just made it up.

2) Islam forbidding adoption - In this part, Tabari presents how Mohammad (PBUH) outlawed adoption, then the second part confirms this story in the Quran, exposing how Mohammad (PBUH) used Allah's name in vain in order tof ulfill His (PBUH) carnal desires.

Tabari VIII:1 "In this year the Messenger married Zaynab bt. Jahsh. "Allah's Messenger came to the house of Zayd bin [son of] Muhammad. Perhaps the Messenger missed him at that moment. Zaynab, Zayd's wife, rose to meet him. Because she was dressed only in a shift, the Holy Prophet turned away from her. She said: 'He is not here. Come in, you are as dear to me as my father and mother!' Muhammad refused to enter. Zaynab had dressed in haste when she heard that the Prophet was at her door. She jumped up eagerly and excited the admiration of Allah's Messenger, so that he turned away murmuring something that could scarcely be understood. However, he did say overtly, 'Glory be to Allah Almighty, who causes hearts to turn!'"

Tabari VIII:2 "When Zayd came home Zaynab told him that Muhammad had come. Zayd said, 'Why didn't you ask him to come in.' Zaynab replied, 'I asked him but he refused.' 'Did he say anything.' 'Glory be to Allah Almighty, who causes hearts to turn.' So Zayd went to Muhammad. 'Prophet, I have heard that you came to my house. Why didn't you go in? Perhaps Zaynab has excited your admiration, so I will leave her.'"

Tabari VIII:3 "Zayd left her, and she became free. While the Messenger of Allah was talking with Aisha, a fainting overcame him. When he was released from it, he smiled and said, 'Who will go to Zaynab to tell her the good news? Allah has married her to me. Then the Holy Prophet recited [Qur'an 33] to the end of the passage. Aisha said, 'I became very uneasy because of what we heard about her beauty and another thing, the loftiest of matters - what Allah had done for her by personally giving her to him in marriage. I said that she would boast of it over us.'"

The above story is confirmed in the Quran, and thus sent down by Allah!

33.037 YUSUFALI: Behold! Thou didst say to one who had received the grace of Allah and thy favour: "Retain thou (in wedlock) thy wife, and fear Allah." But thou didst hide in thy heart that which Allah was about to make manifest: thou didst fear the people, but it is more fitting that thou shouldst fear Allah. Then when Zaid had dissolved (his marriage) with her, with the necessary (formality), We joined her in marriage to thee: in order that (in future) there may be no difficulty to the Believers in (the matter of) marriage with the wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have dissolved with the necessary (formality) (their marriage) with them. And Allah's command must be fulfilled.

In the same surah, Mohammad outlawed adoption:

033.004 YUSUFALI: Allah has not made for any man two hearts in his (one) body: nor has He made your wives whom ye divorce by Zihar your mothers: nor has He made your adopted sons your sons. Such is (only) your (manner of) speech by your mouths. But Allah tells (you) the Truth, and He shows the (right) Way.

As well, Zaynab was Mohammad's cousin, and the same Surah makes it lawful for Mohammad to marry his cousins: "We have made lawful to thee ... daughters of thy paternal uncles and aunts, and daughters of thy maternal uncles and aunts"

033.050 YUSUFALI:

O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom Allah has assigned to thee; and daughters of thy paternal uncles and aunts, and daughters of thy maternal uncles and aunts, who migrated (from Makka) with thee; and any believing woman who dedicates her soul to the Prophet if the Prophet wishes to wed her;- this only for thee, and not for the Believers (at large); We know what We have appointed for them as to their wives and the captives whom their right hands possess;- in order that there should be no difficulty for thee. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.Once again, I will let you decide whether Allah gave Mohammad (PBUH) permission to have sexual relations with his son in law's wife, or if he used God's name in vain.3) Order to potentially replace all Mohammad's (PBUH) wives

Noble Quran 66:5

It may happen that his Lord, if he divorce you, will give him in your stead wives better than you, submissive (to Allah), believing, pious, penitent, devout, inclined to fasting, widows and maids.What this Surah means - Muhammad's wives need to be careful. If they criticize their husband, Allah will replace them with better ones.Once again, Allah comes to Mohammad's (PBUH) defence in the form of a Quran surah to shut his wives up, lest they be replaced. No one else heard these responses, yet for some reason, Allah needs to make sure that Mohammad's (PBUH) wives behaved themselves.4) Aisha (The mother of all believer's) response

Bukhari - Volume 6, Book 60, Number 311: Narrated Aisha:I used to look down upon those ladies who had given themselves to Allah's Apostle and I used to say, "Can a lady give herself (to a man)?" But when Allah revealed: "You (O Muhammad) can postpone (the turn of) whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive any of them whom you will; and there is no blame on you if you invite one whose turn you have set aside (temporarily).' (33.51) I said (to the Prophet), "I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires." http://muslimhadith.blogspot.com/2008/08/allah-works-to-make-sure-mohammads.html

Even Aisha figured out that Mohammad's (PBUH) lord always comes to Mohammad's (PBUH) rescue to allow him to have sex with whomever he wants. Interesting that the Quran, the supposed word of Allah (not Yahweh), a book that is to shed light on all that exists in the universe, focuses so much on Mohammad's (PBUH) own temporal and carnal desires...These are just some examples of Mohammad (PBUH) breaking the Third Commandment. More will be necessary upon request.
