Winn Said

Craig Winn Said, “Islam is a caustic blend of regurgitated paganism and twisted
Bible stories. Muhammad, its lone prophet, conceived his religion solely to satiate his
lust for power, sex, and money. He was a terrorist…The critics of this work will claim
that Prophet of Doom is offensive, racist, hatemongering, intolerant, and unnecessarily
violent. I agree…Others will say that I cherry-picked the worst of Islam to render an
unfair verdict. They will charge that I took the Islamic scriptures out of context to smear
Muhammad and Allah. But none of that is true. Over the course of these pages, I quote
from almost every Surah in the Qur’an—many are presented in their entirety. But more
than that, I put each verse in the context of Muhammad’s life, quoting vociferously from
the Sunnah as recorded by Bukhari, Muslim, Ishaq, and Tabari—Islam’s earliest and
more trusted sources. I even arrange all of this material chronologically, from creation to
terror…These official works include: the Sira, Ta’rikh, Hadith, and Qur’an. Ishaq’s Sira,
or biography, called Sirat Rasul Allah, provides the lone account of Muhammad’s life
and the formation of Islam written within 200 years of the prophet’s death. While the
character, message, and deeds portrayed within its pages are the antithesis of Christ’s
and his disciples, the Sira’s chronological presentation is similar in style to the Christian
Gospels. The Ta’rikh is the oldest, most trusted and comprehensive history of Islam’s
formation and Muhammad’s example, called Sunnah. It was written by Tabari. His
History of al-Tabari is formatted like the Bible. It begins with Islamic creation and ends
with the acts of Muhammad’s companions. Tabari is a compilation of Hadith quotes and
Qur’an passages. As such, it provides the best skeleton upon which to flesh out the
character of Muhammad and the nature of fundamental Islam. A Hadith is an oral
report from Muhammad or his companions. Muslims believe that Hadith were inspired
by Allah, making them scripture. The most revered Collection was compiled in a topical
arrangement by Bukhari. Allah’s Book, the Qur’an, lacks context and chronology, so to
understand it, readers are dependent upon the Sira, Ta’rikh, and Hadith. All that can be
known about Muhammad’s deeds, means, motives, god, and scripture is enshrined in
these books. In their pages you will see them as they saw themselves. My only point of
departure from Ishaq and Tabari will be the comprehensive review of the early Meccan
Surahs, a period in which they had very little to say. Our paths will join again as we
approach Islam’s midlife crisis: the Quraysh Bargain, Satanic Verses, Night’s Journey,
and Pledge of Aqaba—a declaration of war against all mankind. At this point, the
Sunnah speaks more clearly than the Qur’an. So that there will be no confusion, I have
set the passages from Islam’s scripture in bold-faced type. When quoting from the
Qur’an and Hadith, I have elected to use a blended translation. No language transfers
perfectly—one word to another. Five of my twelve translations of the Qur’an were
combined to create the most accurate conveyance of the message possible. However, the
writing quality is so poor, the proofreaders of this manuscript suggested that I help
Allah and Muhammad out by cleaning up their grammar, punctuation, and verbosity.
So for clarity and readability, I have trimmed their unruly word patterns and
4
meaningless repetitions, being careful not to alter the meaning or message of any
passage. Insertions within parenthesis (like this) were added by the Arabic translators
to fill in missing words or to clarify the text. Insertions within brackets [like this]
represent my observations. I have elected to present Islam’s original source material in
juxtaposition to my evaluation of its veracity. This format is similar to that used by the
first English translators of Mein Kampf as they attempted to warn America about the
dangers lurking in Hitler’s manifesto. They, as I, found it necessary to hold the author
accountable. A great deal was at stake then, as it is today. The last time the world was
ignorant of such a hateful and violent doctrine, 55 million people died…So, could it be?
Could a prophet and a religion be responsible for today’s terrorist attacks? I invested
10,000 hours in pursuit of that answer…I want you to know Muhammad, Allah, and
Islam before you judge their legacy”;
Craig Winn, November 2003; ProphetOfDoom.net
Jalal Abualrub responds, by saying:
The Prophet of Mercy

Letter to the Reader: The Feeding Frenzy
Currently, there is a worldwide, extensive, coordinated effort led by Evangelical

and Jewish political and religious leaders and Western authors, talk show hosts, and the
media and film community to discredit and ridicule Muhammad, peace be upon him.
Everything Islamic, including legislations identical to the Law established by ancient
biblical prophets, such as Prophet Musa (Moses), peace be upon him1, are being
attacked. It has become customary for Western mass media to interview various
“experts on Islam” to talk about Islam and Muslims. The astounding fact about these
so-called “experts on Islam” is that the overwhelming majority of them are either
Christian or Jewish, especially those who suffer from a deep innate bias against a
religion they never understood or seriously studied. Rarely is a Muslim scholar or even
an ordinary Muslim who is a practicing Muslim interviewed2. Even when interviewing
1
[Refer to, Holy Wars…Crusades…Jihad, by Jalal Abualrub, Published by Madinah Publishers and
Distributors, Pg., 44-8; and, Leviticus 20:10, “And the man that committeth adultery with another man's
wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall
surely be put to death.” Islam only upheld the law of stoning the adulterer that the Creator revealed to
Prophet Moses, peace be upon him. They call the Islamic Law ‘harsh’ when it upholds this Divine Law
revealed to Prophet Moses. But, they dare not call the Jewish Law ‘harsh’, for obvious reasons.]
2
[Read for the ‘Muslims’ who write articles for “Time Magazine”, for instance. They seem to be as
ignorant in Islam as the magazine that hired them and as intent on amending it as any neo-conservative
5
a Muslim, the interview will be followed by analysis from the usual experts on Islam
that the media regularly employs. This is an unscientific, emotional approach prevalent
in the West and which will prevent Westerners from truly understanding Islam and
effectively addressing the deep, often negative, sentiments Muslims have regarding the
West. Serious research or even halfhearted attempts at understanding Islam are no
longer pursued or required. Western audiences do not ask for evidence nor do they
question Western “experts” claims about Islam. As long as what these experts say
conforms to the misconceptions and satisfies the fears that Westerners have about Islam,
its Prophet and Allah, it is never questioned for authenticity.
If one reads books written about Islam that are popular in the West one might
think that Muhammad, peace be upon him, spent his life killing and raiding his
neighbors without justification, murdering women and children, beheading non-
combatants, forcibly bequeathing other people’s property and land and causing
mischief. Of course, if one only lists the battles led by any political or religious leader in
the history of mankind, and only those, then, one will end up with a distorted image of
that political or religious person. For instance, if someone only collects the Torah
accounts of various battles that the Prophets sent to the Children of Israel are said to
have led, one would end up reading reports about terrible pillage and killing of men,
women, children and even animals, similar to the idea they have created about Islam3.
One clear example of Western “experts on Islam” who criticize a religion they do
not begin to understand is named, ‘Craig Winn’. Winn, a discredited businessman,
presided over the demise of a multi-billion dollar company and recklessly led to
tremendous financial losses to shareholders (http://news.com.com/2100-1017-
244388.html?legacy=cnet). Winn, a Presbyterian, neo-Conservative, Evangelical fanatic
with delusions of becoming president of the United States4, wrote a book about the
Prophet of Islam titled, The Prophet of Doom. It is still a mystery as to how Winn
became such an expert on Islam. Winn himself helped shed some light on this mystery
is.]

[Read, for instance, Deuteronomy 20:1-20. Christians falsely proclaim Jesus as God, as in John 1:1, “In
the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Thus, it is fair to say
that it is Jesus, as portrayed in christianity, who issued the orders and commandments contained in
Deuteronomy 20:1-20, such as, “10. When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim
peace unto it. 11. And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be,
that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee. 12. And
if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it: 13. And
when the Lord thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the
edge of the sword: 14. But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even
all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the
Lord thy God hath given thee.” Muslims deeply believe that Prophet Jesus, the devout creation and slave
of Allah, has nothing to do with these terrible biblical commandments nor did he ever proclaim himself
as god.]

by claiming on his web-site, “Recognizing that most people don’t have the will, time, or
means to invest 10,000 hours into the study of Islam, I have done the heavy lifting for
you.”
Is It Four Months, 10,000 Hours or Two Years?
There is a difference of opinion between Craig Winn and two other Craig Winns
as to the period of time any or all of them studied Islam. One Craig Winn mentioned
four months5, another Craig Winn mentioned 10,000 hours [416 days or 13 months]6,
and yet another Craig Winn mentioned two years7. This is a mystery that only Winn
can explain.
I ask the reader to be patient while I distill parts of Craig Winn’s, ‘Letter to the
Reader’, quoted above. Since he claims to be an expert on Islam, we will put him, his
claims and his book of doom to the test.
This Book
This book, The Prophet of Mercy, is partly in response to the various claims
against Muhammad, peace be upon him, made by Craig Winn and other Western
political, religious and literary leaders. But largely, this book seeks to explain who
Muhammad was in clear terms and in an evidence-supported methodology. Also, this
book is a challenge to all those who think they can discredit Muhammad, peace be upon
him: try and refute the facts in this book using proof and evidence without reverting to
abuse and emotions, the trademarks of current Evangelical preaching.
The Debate That Never Took Place
I reaffirm my challenge to Craig Winn to hold a scientific debate with me in

which both parties produce evidence to support their respective claims. I had
challenged Winn to a debate some time ago, stating that I would not read his book
before the debate, so that he could astound me with his best evidence. He declined. He
also directly used offensive words of abuse against me personally and against my
religion, the Creator of all that exists and the Prophet of Islam in his first and
subsequent responses to my emails. If this is the product of ‘Compassionate
Conservatism’, then certainly, I cannot imagine a single person who needs it; “Ye shall
know them by their fruits”; [Matthew 7:16]. It is claimed that, “Craig came to know the

not ‘official’, even though he did not refute it until now.]

Lord at home after reading a copy of Hal Lindsey's book, The Late Great Planet Earth. 8”
One should wonder as to which Lord the Neos are talking about, considering the
incredible amount of horrific abuse that Winn has collected in his doomed book. This
also makes one wonder why anyone would want to buy his book or spend time reading
it for pleasure. From what I read of his book, objectivity and scientific approach were
buried a long time ago.
My Challenge to Debate Winn Still Stands Unanswered
Winn can still debate me on Islam, since –sadly for me- I had to start reading his
tedious book after he declined my earlier generous offer for a debate. I doubt that he
will agree to hold a debate, though. He is looking for weak opponents, similar to the
Sufi Imam of a Florida Masjid (wrongly called, ‘Mosque’) whom Winn somehow
defeated –as I was told- because he brought distorted issues the Sufi Shaikh did not
hear of before and thus was unqualified to address and respond to effectively.
I doubt that Winn would ever read this refutation on his book or my response to
his equating Muhammad, peace be upon him, to Hitler and calling him a terrorist.
What would Jesus have said to Craig had he heard him describe Muhammad, peace be
upon him, a fellow Prophet who is respected by at least one-fifth of humanity, using the
filthy and dishonorable words of abuse that he collected in his book? Yet, we elect not
to respond to Winn’s abuse with the same because we –Muslims- are restricted by the
honorable code of conduct that Islam enjoins on its followers. Also, the difference
between us and Craig is that we respect Jesus and believe deeply in his prophethood.
Therefore, we cannot and will never disrespect Jesus lest we lose our Islam. Jesus,
peace be upon him, was nothing like Craig Winn and is not responsible for Winn’s
standard of character. Craig Winn and the ‘Neos’ who support him are responsible for
Craig Winn. We also firmly believe in the Hereafter, when all of mankind shall return
to the Creator of all that exists, and He will inform each of them about their errors and
judge them accordingly, either by His Justice, or with His Mercy.
Fair Minded People of All Faiths Are Requested to Read ‘The Prophet of Mercy’
I believe that if fair-minded atheists, Hindus, Christians, Jews and followers of

other Faiths read, The Prophet of Mercy, and evaluate the scientific approach used in it
as compared to the confusion, distorted claims and filthy abuse offered in Winn’s book,
they will clearly identify with Truth and reject Falsehood.
Ignoring the Ignorant

Allah said in the Quran, what transliterated means, {And when they (believers)
hear Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk), they withdraw from it and say: “To us our
deeds, and to you your deeds. Peace be to you. We seek not (the way of) the ignorant.”
Verily, you (O, Muhammad) guide not whom you like, but Allâh guides whom He
wills. And He knows best those who are the guided}; [28:55-6].
Ignoring Craig Winn’s collection of abuse and foul words that he used to describe
Muhammad, peace be upon him, and Allah, the Creator of all that exists, is a good way
to start, The Prophet of Mercy. While I will not return the abuse with the same, I will
have to mention some parts of Winn’s book in order to address them. I will also
comment on various types of abuse Winn used and expose his claims as lies, distortions,
dishonorable conduct, or deceit as need be.
Winn Describes His Book of Doom
In his, ‘Letter to the Reader’, Craig Winn says this, “The critics of this work will
claim that Prophet of Doom is offensive, racist, hatemongering, intolerant, and
unnecessarily violent. I agree…” I, Jalal Abualrub, also agree with this much. Winn
also said, “Others will say that I cherry-picked the worst of Islam to render an unfair
verdict. They will charge that I took the Islamic scriptures out of context to smear
Muhammad and Allah. But none of that is true.” I, Jalal Abualrub, disagree with Winn
here, as I will explain, Allah willing.
First, nothing in Islam can be described as, “its worst.”
Second, following is initial evidence to the truth of what Craig Winn denies in his
last paragraph, i.e., taking the Islamic Texts out of context. I remind the reader of
Winn’s earlier claim that the Quran does not have a context, and chronology, yet he
issues a denial that he took the Islamic Scriptures out of context. Well, does the
Quran, which is the true foundation of Islamic Scriptures, have a context or not?
Terror, Terrorist, Terrorism; Terror, Terrorist, Terrorism; etc.
I admit that reading through Winn’s book is severely challenging: I have never
seen a more confused and abusive book than, The Prophet of Doom. Winn criticizes, as
he calls them, meaningless repetitions in the Quran, yet, rabidly repeated variations of
the word ‘terror’ in his book. By using and repeating the word, ‘terror’ often, Winn
seeks to use the emotions of his fellow Evangelists and others in the West. To them and
to many others, ‘terror’, invokes memories of murder of non-combatant women, men
and children, attacks on houses of worship and, of course, suicide missions committed
with hijacked civilian airplanes, all played against a fantastic background filled with
9
images of bearded Arab men shouting, “Allahu Akbar”, while committing these
heinous acts.
Introductory Evidence to Winn’s Flagrant Corruption of Islamic Texts
Winn claims that he did not take the Islamic Scriptures out of context. This is the
first proof that he did.
“I Have Been Made Victorious With Terror”
Craig Winn said in the prologue to his book of doom, “Bukhari:V4B52N220:

‘Allah’s Apostle said, ‘I have been made victorious with terror. The treasures of the
world were brought to me and put in my hand.’ Terror is Muhammad’s legacy. His
motivation was money.”
This paragraph contains proof that Winn has corrupted the Islamic Message and
deceived his readers. Winn is under the illusion that Muslims do not read their
Scriptures. Otherwise, as Winn claimed in one of his emails to me, they would abandon
their religion. To the contrary, it seems that Winn conveniently did not carefully read
the Islamic Scriptures.
Clear Evidence
While it is apparent that Winn used the Khan/Hilali transliteration on Bukhari,

he abridged the translation of the Hadeeth’s meaning to conveniently suit the
outrageous comment he made afterwards. Further, it is clear that Winn did not have a
clue as to why the Prophet said these words, i.e., the context of the Hadeeth. If he did
not understand the context of the Hadeeth, then how can he claim to have not taken it
out of context? Here is the explanation.
The True Context of the Hadeeth That Winn Corrupted
First, here is the full text of this Bukhari Hadeeth, as transliterated by Muhsin
Khan and Taqi Ad-Din al-Hilali, “Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, ‘I have
been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have
been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was
sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my
hand.’ Abu Huraira added: Allah's Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are
bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them).’”
10
1 – Winn conveniently reinvented the explanation of the word, ‘terror’, as put forth by
two Muslim scholars, Dr. Mu`hsin Khan and Dr. Taqi ad-Din al-Hilali (Hilali died years
ago). Where did, ‘cast in the hearts of the enemy’, go and why did Winn omit these
words?
2 – Muhsin Khan and Hilali inserted ‘cast in the hearts of the enemy’ in their
transliteration of the Hadeeth mentioned above because unlike Winn, they are scholars
who are knowledgeable in Islam. They researched the various narrations and words of
explanation for this Hadeeth, before placing it in their book in a transliterated form.
They know that so often, variations of a Hadeeth narration complete the intended
implication of it. Is not ‘research’ the essential ingredient in the sentence that reads,
‘viable scientific research’?
Here are several variations for this Hadeeth as reported by al-Bukhari, Muslim
(Winn failed to recognize that the Hadeeth he quoted was also collected by Muslim ) and the teacher
of al-Bukhari and Muslim, the eminent Imam of Sunnah and Hadeeth, Imam A`hmad
Ibn Hanbal ash-Shaibani. Each of these narrations has a recorded, verifiable,
continuous chain of narration (Sanad) that starts with the collector of the Hadeeth, in
this case al-Bukhari, Muslim and A`hmad, passing through each collector’s teacher(s),
then his teacher(s), until the chain ends with the Prophet, peace be upon him. We only
mentioned the name of the Prophet’s companion who narrated each Hadeeth so to
make this research as brief as possible.
a -- Bukhari 323 & Muslim 810: Jabir Ibn Abdullah reported that Allah’s Prophet, peace
be upon him, said, “I was given victory through Ru`b the distance of a month.”
b -- Bukhari 6483: Abu Hurairah said that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said, “I was
given victory with Ru`b, and while I was asleep last night I was brought the keys to
the treasures of the world and they were placed in my hand.”
c -- A`hmad (6771) reported the Prophet’s statement, collected from Abdullah Ibn Amr
Ibn al-Àas, “Through Ru`b, I was given victory above the enemy: If the distance
between me and my enemies were to be a month’s journey, they will be filled with
Ru`b from me.9”
d -- A`hmad (20337) collected Abu Dharr’s statement that the Prophet, peace be upon
him, said, “I was given victory through Ru`b: the enemy becomes filled with Ru`b
even though they are the distance of a month’s journey away from me.”
e – A`hmad (21120) from Abu Umamah: the Prophet, peace be upon him, said, “I was
given victory through Ru`b the distance of a month: Allah throws it in the hearts of
my enemies.”
9
[Refer to al-Albani’s, Sahih at-Targheeb, Hadeeth No., 3634]
11
f – The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, “I was given victory through Ru`b the
distance of a month ahead of me and a month behind me.10”
Even Without Translating, ‘Ru`b’, the Reader Can Easily Understand Its Intended
Meaning
3 – Thus, the Hadeeth is not talking about terrorism, as the world knows it today –no
thanks to Winn and his cheerleaders- but about fear from the Prophet that Allah placed
in the hearts of his enemies. The fear of Muhammad in the hearts of his enemies was
so great that even if the distance between them were as far away as a month’s journey
in proximity his enemies would still feel it. Some scholars of Sunnah, such as Imam Ibn
Hajar al-Asqalani, who explained Sahih al-Bukhari in his book, Fat`h al-Bari, stated
that, apparently this favor was granted only to the Prophet, peace be upon him, as one
of his special qualities (Khususiyyah), and this Khususiyyah of the Prophet worked
even if he was not accompanied by an army.
Indeed, the narration for this Hadeeth contains these words, ‘I was given five
things that were never given to anyone before me…I was given victory over the
enemy through Ru`b, even if the distance between me and them were to be one
month.”
4 – ‘Ru`b’, means, ‘Fear’: Here is a list of some of the Islamic resources explaining,
‘Ru`b’, as, ‘Fear’, and, ‘Awe’: Fat`h al-Bari bi Shar`h Sahih al-Bukhari; Tu`hfat al-
A`hwadhi bi Shar’h Jami’ at-Tirmidhi; and, Shar`h Sunan an-Nasaii. These books
were written by Muslim Scholars explaining Hadeeths contained in, Sahih al-Bukhari,
and the Sunan collections of Imams at-Tirmidhi and an-Nasaii, respectively.
A Blend More Righteous than Winn’s Corrupted Blend
“I was given victory through Ru`b the distance of a month ahead of me and a month
behind me. Thus, if the distance between me and my enemies were to be a month’s
journey, Allah will fill their hearts with fear from me.”
5 – Seeking the combined context of any Quranic Verse or Prophetic Hadeeth is a pre-
requisite that any respectable researcher must fulfill before reaching a conclusion on the
implication of that text. When Winn removed key segments of the Hadeeth under
discussion, he corrupted its meaning. As for the context of the Hadeeth, here is one
example pertaining to its meaning, taken from the very books that Winn considered
‘holy’ and ‘inspired’: the Seerah (history; autobiography) books.
10
[Refer to al-Albani’s, Bidayat as-Sool, Hadeeth no. 57]
12
Al-Waqidi said in his, Maghazi, that Juwairiyah Bint al-Harith said, “We were at
the Muraisii` area when the Messenger of Allah marched forth towards us. I heard my
father say, ‘There has come to us a gathering that we cannot resist.’ I saw men and
horses in such numbers that I cannot describe. After I became Muslim and the
Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, married me I looked at the Muslims and found
their numbers to be less than what I had thought. I knew that this was Ru`b that Allah,
the Exalted, throws in the hearts of the polytheists.’”
There are many similar examples in which the enemies of Islam, who, just like
the Muraisii` people, had gathered armies to attack Madinah and the Prophet, scattered
throughout the desert in fear when they heard that the Prophet had gathered an army
to resist their treacherous attacks. Many lives were saved through Allah throwing fear
in the hearts of the enemies of Muhammad, peace be upon them, because his enemies
feared him, fled and did not meet him in battle. Thus, ‘fear’, in the Hadeeth worked the
opposite of what Winn thought: he thought that it worked through acts of terror –
according to his diminished understanding- when in reality they saved Muslims and
many of their enemies the hardship of battle and warfare.
6 – Note how Winn conveniently distilled (i.e. omitted) the words “while I was asleep”
and, “the keys” from the other section of the Hadeeth that states, “While I was asleep
last night I was brought the keys to the treasures of the world and they were placed
in my hand.” By doing so, it would appear that the Prophet, peace be upon him, was
seeking or wishing to acquire other people’s wealth for himself. Contrary to this false
illusion, this was a vision that the Prophet saw which contained glad tidings for the
generations of Muslims to come. This is why in the same Hadeeth, Abu Hurairah
added, as al-Bukhari and Muslim reported from him, “Allah's Apostle has left the world
and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit
by them).” Winn also conveniently “distilled” this part from the transliteration of the
Hadeeth as reported by Khan and Hilali.
Winn’s Shameful Slander of the Prophet of Islam
Had the Prophet, peace be upon him, wanted money, he could have acquired as
much as he wished. Towards the end of his life, and for several years, he, peace be
upon him, was the undisputed leader of Arabia, including Yemen and the southern
parts of the Syrian desert. By reading the Seerah by Ibn Is`haq, the sections reporting
the many delegations that came to the Prophet from various Arab tribes surrendering to
his leadership and announcing their Islam, one will come to the rightful conclusion that
Arabia submitted to the Prophet’s leadership years before he died. Since unlike
Muslims, Winn considered Ibn Is`haq’s seerah ‘holy’ and ‘inspired’, then one should
seek inspiration from this part of Ibn Is`haq’s Seerah, as well.
13
When the Prophet, peace be upon him, died, he did not leave anything behind,
neither a Dinar (a currency), nor a Dirham (a currency), or a male or a female slave; he
left only his white mule on which he used to ride, and his weapons, and a piece of land
which he gave in charity for needy travelers; [al-Bukhari (2534) reported this statement
(Hadeeth) from Amr Ibn al-Harith, the Prophet’s companion]. As for Muslim, he
collected this Hadeeth (3087) from the Prophet’s beloved wife, Aishah: “Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) left neither Dinar nor Dirham (cash), nor goats
(and sheep), nor camels. And he made no will about anything (in regard to his material
possessions, as he had none).”
Muhammad, peace be upon him, did not spend the money before he died, either.
Aishah, his beloved wife said, “We used to see three crescents in two months, and no
fire used to be made in the houses of Allah's Apostle (i.e. nothing used to be cooked)."
Ùrwah, her nephew, said, "What used to sustain you?" Àisha said, "The two black
things: dates and water, except that Allah's Apostle had neighbors from the Ansar who
had some milch she-camels; they used to give the Prophet some milk from their house,
and he used to give us from it to drink”; [al-Bukhari (2379) and Muslim (5282)]. Al-
Bukhari (5976) also reported that Qatadah said, “We were in the company of Anas (The
Prophet’s servant and friend) whose baker was with him. Anas said, ‘Eat! I do not recall
the Prophet, peace be upon him, seeing thin bread until he met Allah, or seeing a
roasted sheep until he met Allah (died).’”
This was Muhammad, peace be upon him, whom Craig Winn shamelessly
slandered. Imam A`hmad (1710511) reported that while describing the Prophet’s
guidance and standard of character to the people of Egypt, the Prophet’s companion
Amr Ibn al-Àas said, “He was the most Zahid among the people.” ‘Zahid’, means that
he was disinterested in this world’s material possessions. This is how Amr Ibn al-Àas
himself explained the word in this authentic (Sahih) Hadeeth.
This is only one example, of many more to come, Allah willing, of how Winn
corrupted the Islamic Texts. He altered the meaning of various Hadeeths and stories, by
blending them together into one, i.e. omitting the parts that do not support his
outrageous claims.
My Pre-911 KJV Bible Repeated the Word ‘Terror’ 44 Times; the Quran Repeated it
Only 7 Times
Here are four sections from the Two Testaments that use the word ‘terror’ in
various contexts.
11
[Refer to al-Wadii’s, as-Sahih al-Musnad, Hadeeth No., 1014]
14
1 -- Genesis 35, “1. And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there:
and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the
face of Esau thy brother…5. And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the
cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.”
2 -- Joshua 2, “1. And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly,
saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house,
named Rahab, and lodged there. 2. And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold,
there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country. 3.
And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to
thee, which are entered into thine house...6. But she had brought them up to the roof of
the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the
roof. 7. And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords…8. And
before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof; 9. And she said
unto the men, I know that the Lord hath given you the land, and that your terror is
fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you. 10. For
we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came
out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the
other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.”
3 -- Isaiah 19, “1. The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and
shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the
heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it…17. And the land of Judah shall be a terror
unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself,
because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts, which he hath determined against it.”
4 -- Jeremiah 32, “21. And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of
Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out
arm, and with great terror; 22. And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear
to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey.”
The second example clearly indicates a meaning for `terror` not found in the
Prophet’s Hadeeth mentioned above. The second and fourth examples do not talk
about a vision or keys of treasures, they talk about actual treasures to be possessed,
which were later possessed.
Craig Winn as Compared to Muhammad, peace be upon him

Value America files for bankruptcy, lays off 185
15
By Troy Wolverton : “Backed by Federal Express founder Frederick Smith and Microsoft
co-founder Paul Allen, Value America had visions of becoming a key player in the e-
commerce market. Those ambitions seemed attainable when the company saw its stock
price triple on its first day of trading in April 1999. Amid the high hopes came excesses,
among them a corporate jet requested by co-founders Craig Winn and Rex Scatena, the
company's chairman and vice chairman, respectively. Winn, whose Dynasty Classics
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1993, also reportedly considered developing a
corporate campus for Value America with a three-hole golf course and hiking trails. But
since then, the company has been on a long and painful slide. Value America's stock
price, for instance, has plummeted to the land of the penny stocks.”
Here is another example to Winn’s unique standard of character and his being a
Zahid in this worldly life:
“(http://www.twbookmark.com/books/52/0316089702/)
dot.bomb: My Days and Nights at an Internet Goliath
by J. David Kuo: “Value America was supposed to be an online catalog, selling all sorts
of goods, from computer printers to barbeque grills. Value America would take the
orders, but the manufacturers would have to ship the products. Who founded it? A guy
named Craig Winn, a law school dropout from California who got his start selling fly
swatters…this was the guy who was going to lead Value America from start up to
internet goliath…Before Value America had made a dime in profits, Winn had already
decided the company would be so huge that it would springboard him to his next job
-President of the United States….Winn was spending more time on his deluded plan to
run for president than he was on the business; senior management relied not on
budgeting and accounting but regular prayer sessions and bible study to tell them what
to do...Numbers were fudged, money was burned through, and nobody seemed to
know what they were doing. And then people discovered that Craig Winn had a history
of this sort of thing, that his previous ventures hadn't exactly turned out to be Fortune
500 powerhouses. But by then, it was too late.”
A Fair Judge Sincerely Listens to Both Sides to the Dispute Before Rendering
Judgment
Craig Winn said, “I want you to know Muhammad, Allah, and Islam before you
judge their legacy.” I agree. However, no just person should render judgment before
knowing who the disputing parties are and then listening to both sides to the dispute.
Therefore, I ask the reader, and challenge him or her, to compare, The Prophet of Doom,
16
to, The Prophet of Mercy. I too want you to know Muhammad and Islam before you
judge their legacy, and indeed, listening to both sides is the key to achieving this fete.
Winn’s “Blender” Should be Patented
In his ‘Letter to the Leader’, Craig Winn claims the following, “Five of my twelve
translations of the Qur’an were combined to create the most accurate conveyance of the
message possible. However, the writing quality is so poor, the proofreaders of this
manuscript suggested that I help Allah and Muhammad out by cleaning up their
grammar, punctuation, and verbosity.”
It is a fact that all of the original manuscripts of the books that Craig Winn
quoted in his book of doom were written in Arabic, not English. The Quran is entirely
in Arabic, and the authors of the Seerah (Maghazi), Tareekh (History), Tafsir (Meaning
of the Quran) and Hadeeth (Prophetic Tradition) that Craig Winn relied on never spoke
a word of English. And in Islam, divine status is assigned to the Book of Allah, the
Quran, which is described as this, {And verily, it is an honourable well-fortified
respected Book. Falsehood cannot come to it from before it or behind it, (it is) sent
down by the All-Wise, Worthy of all praise (Allâh)}; [41:41-2]; and also to the
authentic Prophetic Sunnah, which is described in the Quran as this, {Nor does he
(Muhammad, peace be upon him) speak of (his own) desire. It is only a Revelation
revealed}; [53:3-4].
When Arabic is transliterated into English, the accuracy –or lack of it- in part or
all of the transliteration is the responsibility of the translator, not Allah or Muhammad,
peace be upon him. The same is true for errors made in their grammar, punctuation
and verbosity. Therefore, inserting the name of Allah, the Lord of all that exists, and
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, in this disgraceful manner tells volumes
about the standard of character of Winn and his comedian proofreaders. They should
‘refine’ their humor by consulting Rush Limbaugh on which type of drug to use that
they may ascend the level of their humor to a ‘higher’ elevation, literally.
It is Winn, not Allah or Muhammad, who made this ‘blend’ of a book and ended
up with a horrible manuscript. Neither Allah nor Muhammad made the grammatical
errors that Winn and his proofreaders claim to have uncovered; Winn, his neo-
proofreaders and the translators he quoted from their books did.
Since it is Winn who claims to have blended five translations (actually
translations of the meaning) of the Quran into one, then he should not complain about
the poor standard of grammar of his manuscript. If one blends different transliterations
for five different translators, or groups of translators, who –naturally- conclude their
research using their own preference, choice of words, understanding and perceptions,
all a reflection of their standard of knowledge, one will end up with a manuscript that
contains as many grammatical errors and poor writing quality as Winn have. What if
17
one used Winn’s pathetic method of blending by combining five versions (with great
emphasis on the word ‘versions’) of the Bible, including the Catholic and the King
James versions, will the Bible fare well in this case and will it contain all the chapters
that one started with?
Tau`heed (Islamic Monotheism) is Pagan While Trinity is Monotheistic?
Craig Winn said, “Islam is a caustic blend of regurgitated paganism and twisted
Bible stories.”
Sure! Would Winn’s description of Islam as being a caustic blend of regurgitated
(a ‘sophisticated’ Winn term that means, ‘repetitive’) paganism be supported by the fact
that for one to become –and remain- Muslim, one must declare the following statement,
“La Ilaha Illa-Llah (None has the right to be worshipped, except Allah)”, and then
keep sincere faith in it until death? Numerous Hadeeths assert the facts mentioned
here, including those collected by Imam at-Tirmidhi specifically mentioning the words,
‘with sincerity’; [Jami` at-Tirmidhi: 3514 (also al-Albani’s, Sahih at-Tirmidhi: 2839)].
Winn does not like the name ‘Allah’ and does not think it describes the Creator of
everything, but a pagan deity. Therefore, the reader is encouraged to read how Allah is
described in the Quran and judge if this fits the description of a pagan deity or properly
describes the Lord of all that exists using the Name His creation calls Him by.
Allah said in the Quran, what transliterated means, {He is Allâh, beside Whom
Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) the All-Knower of the
unseen and the seen. He is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. He is Allâh, beside
Whom Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the King, the
Holy, the One Free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His
creatures, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allâh! (High is
He) above all that they associate as partners with Him. He is Allâh, the Creator, the
Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms. To Him belong the Best Names. All that
is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise};
[59:22-4].
Winn claims to have arrived at ‘the most accurate conveyance of the message
possible.’ Indeed. Winn did not corrupt the Islamic Texts. He only corrupted the
entire religion of Islam and the most fundamental aspect of it, Tau`heed,
Monotheism, the Faith in the One and Only Creator of all that exists. In Surat al-
Ikhlas (chapter 112 in the Quran), Allah said, what transliterated means, {Say (O
Muhammad): “He is Allâh, (the) One. Allâh-us-Samad (the Self-Sufficient Master,
Whom all creatures need; He neither eats nor drinks). He begets not, nor was He
begotten. And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him”}. Further, Allah said
in the Quran, {And recite to them the story of Ibrâhîm (Abraham). When he said to his
father and his people: “What do you worship?” They said: “We worship idols, and to
18
them we are ever devoted.” He said: “Do they hear you, when you call on (them)? Or
do they benefit you or do they harm (you)?” They said: “(Nay) but we found our
fathers doing so.” He said: “Do you observe that which you have been worshipping
 You and your ancient fathers? Verily, they are enemies to me, save the Lord of the
‘Âlamîn (all that exists), Who has created me, and it is He Who guides me. And it is
He Who feeds me and gives me to drink. And when I am ill, it is He Who cures me.
And Who will cause me to die, and then will bring me to life (again). And Who, I
hope, will forgive me my faults on the Day of Recompense (the Day of Resurrection)};
[26:69-82]. Is this Paganism, Dualism, Trinitism, Polytheism, or clear
Monotheism? Even Atheists would recognize the difference.
Allah is the Moon God?
Evangelicals are so desperate to convince the general public of Islamic evilness

that one website of theirs (http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/moongod.htm) actually
suggested that Allah is the Moon-God, and thus, Muslims worship the moon. They
must mean the same moon about which the Quran declares this, {And from among His
Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Prostrate yourselves not
to the sun, nor to the moon, but prostrate yourselves to Allâh Who created them, if
you (really) worship Him}; [41:37]. These people are utterly blatant and will stop at
nothing, including lying in a shameful way, to defame Islam. This Quranic Verse
refutes their article in its entirety, and we will soon refute the minor parts of it, Allah
willing.
Before KJV of the Bible Was Ever Written, There Were Arabic Bibles Calling the Lord
by His Name, ‘Allah’
Craig Winn does not like to call Allah by His Name, ‘Allah’. However, the name
‘Allah’ is found in all the Arabic Bibles that have been printed in the West –in tens of
millions- by Evangelical Christians and freely distributed in poor Arab and Muslim
countries to preach the Monotheistic Gospel to pagan Muslims! I know that ‘Allah’ is
the name used in these Arabic Bibles, because I received several of them when I was
living in Kuwait. For evidence, the reader is encouraged to log onto this website:
(http://www.e-sword.net/bibles.html) wherein the word ‘Allah’ is used in the first verse
contained in the version of the Bible entitled, The Arabic Smith & Van Dyke Bible.
Further, (http://www.arabicbible.com/bible/codex_151.htm) posts this article: “The Mt.
Sinai Arabic Codex 151 is indeed a most exciting discovery. It appears to be the oldest
Arabic translation of the Bible in existence which was done in 867 AD…It was
discovered at St. Catherine monastery in Mt. Sinai in the 1800's.” The ‘oldest copy’ of
19
the Arabic Bible referred to here also uses the word ‘Allah’ when describing the
Creator.
I read various copies of the Arabic Gospel12 about a dozen times, in addition to
the dozen times in which I read various English Bibles. I do not claim to have become a
scholar on the Bibles, because to be as such, one certainly needs more than 10,000 hours.
Did Jesus Ever Call the Lord by, ‘God’?
Matthew 27:46 states, “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,
saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou
forsaken me?”
If Muslims are challenged to bring forth the original Arabic words of their Holy
Book, the Quran, they will produce a copy of it that is perfectly identical to every other
copy that Muslims have in any other part of the world. Can Christians or Jews
accomplish the same fete regarding the Two Testaments?
I challenge the readers, Craig Winn and all of Christendom and Judaism to
produce a single original manuscript of the Torah or the Gospel –with stress on the
word, ‘original’. If anyone is ever able to successfully respond to this challenge, that
original copy will most certainly be in a language other than English and will not
contain the word, ‘God’ to describe the Creator.
Here is the very first verse in the ‘version’ of the Bible called, Transliterated
Pronounceable, Genesis 1:1, “Bree'shiyt baaraa' 'Elohiym 'eet hashaamayim
w'eethaa'aarets.” If transliterated into English, this verse reads like this (as in KJV), “In
the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
How can ‘God’, be Closer in Pronunciation to, ‘Elohiym’, ‘Il’, ‘Ilu’, ‘Ilah’, than ‘Allah’?
‘God’, Was Never Used in Any Ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek or Latin Judaeo-
Christian Scripture Manuscripts
This is an extraordinary, clear testimony regarding the etymology of the Word,

‘God’, that is found in, The Catholic Encyclopedia:
(http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06608x.htm). Catholicism, much older and much
larger than Protestantism, is also the largest Christian religion in the present time. The
only comments made here was that I bold-faced and underlined certain sections of
this article to emphasis their content.
12
[I said, ‘Gospel’, here, because I tried in vain to acquire a single Arabic copy of the Old Testament.
Apparently, they did not want conservative Arab Christians or devout Muslims to read Ezekiel 23, a
chapter about two whores and the types of ‘whoredoms’ they committed.]
20
“Etymology of the Word ‘God’: (Anglo-Saxon God; German Gott; akin to

Persian khoda; Hindu khooda). God can variously be defined as: the proper name of
the one Supreme and Infinite Personal Being, the Creator and Ruler of the universe, to
whom man owes obedience and worship; the common or generic name of the several
supposed beings to whom, in polytheistic religions, Divine attributes are ascribed
and Divine worship rendered; the name sometimes applied to an idol as the image or
dwelling-place of a god. The root-meaning of the name (from Gothic root gheu;
Sanskrit hub or emu, "to invoke or to sacrifice to") is either "the one invoked" or "the one
sacrificed to." From different Indo-Germanic roots (div, "to shine" or "give light"; “thes”
in thessasthai "to implore") come the Indo-Iranian deva, Sanskrit dyaus (gen. divas),
Latin deus, Greek theos, Irish and Gaelic dia, all of which are generic names; also Greek
Zeus (gen. Dios, Latin Jupiter (jovpater), Old Teutonic Tiu or Tiw (surviving in
Tuesday), Latin Janus, Diana, and other proper names of pagan deities. The common
name most widely used in Semitic occurs as 'el in Hebrew, 'ilu in Babylonian, 'ilah in
Arabic, etc.; and though scholars are not agreed on the point, the root-meaning most
probably is "the strong or mighty one.”
The so-called ‘holy’ Islamic books that Winn claims to have relied on while
writing his book are much older historically than any English Bible that contains the
word ‘God’ and came into existence centuries before the King James Version of the
Bible13.
The Arabs, children of Prophet Ishmael (Ismaèl), and the Israelites, children of
Prophet Jacob (Ya`qub), are cousins, being the children of Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim),
as the Bible itself declares. Genesis 16:1-15, states, “1. Now Sarai Abram's wife bare
him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar…3.
And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian…and gave her to her
husband Abram to be his wife14…15. And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called
his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.” Further, ‘Elohiym’, is Hebrew for, ‘Allah’.
Abraham was an Arab, from Iraq (Babylon) and the Hebrew people are his descendants,
just as the Arabs. The Hebrew legacy started with Abraham (Genesis 14: 13, “Abram
the Hebrew.”) and the children of Israel. The Arabic Language is much older than the
Hebrew, and the Creator has always been called, ‘Allah’, in Arabic.
Conclusion: the Name of the Creator is, ‘Allah’, not, ‘God’. Craig Winn
slandered his Creator, the True Creator of everything and everyone, including Jesus
and his mother.

briefly discussed, and these are the stages of its development: Indo-European and Germanic Influences;
Old English (500-1100 AD); The Norman Conquest and Middle English (1100-1500); Early-Modern
English (1500-1800); Late-Modern English (1800-Present); American English. KJV of the Bible was first
published in 1611.]

[Thus, the honorable Hagar (Hajar) was Prophet Abraham’s (Ibrahim’s) wife, not his personal slave.]
21
“Love Thy Enemy”; “Whosoever Shall Smite Thee on Thy Right Cheek, Turn to Him
the Other Also”
Winn continues, by saying, “Muhammad, its lone prophet, conceived his religion
solely to satiate his lust for power, sex, and money. He was a terrorist.”
How ‘perfect’ of Winn to say this about the beloved Prophet of more than one-
fifth of humanity. Here is a gift to Winn from Jesus, who said, as in Matthew 5:43-48,
“43. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine
enemy. 44. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good
to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute
you; 45. That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh
his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the
unjust…48. Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was that perfect person whom Jesus
described in these words, and better. Soon after he conquered Makkah, the Prophet,
peace be upon him, set free the Makkan people who led armed opposition and
aggression against him and against Islam for twenty-one years.
Is Western Media ‘Secular’, or ‘Judaeo-Christian’
Western media, which tediously professes democracy and freedom to the world,
clearly shows how little it really believes in these Western ideals. Hateful and ignorant
writers, such as Winn, have free access to Western media, yet the doors of access are
completely shut to any and every practicing Muslim who has knowledge in Islam and
may wish to explain or defend it. Islam and Muslims are being demonized on a daily
basis in Western media, which has become a major culprit in this terrible crime and
outright religious discrimination. To them, ‘freedom’, never included Muslims.
Therefore, I doubt that I can reach a fraction of the audience that Winn is able to
reach in this Land of the Free. Of course, there is nothing free in the Land of the Free;
everything is for money. I once challenged another fanatical enemy of Islam, Neil
Boortz, to a debate about Islam. He declined the offer, but angrily indicated his
astonishment at my challenging him to a ‘free’ debate. Translated, he wanted money,
asked for money and declined to respond to my emails afterwards because I did not
offer him money. Truth does not need money. Truth always prevails.
‘Mein Kampf’ is the German Version of ‘the Quran’; ‘Hitler’ Means ‘Muhammad’ in
German
22
Winn continues his, ‘Letter to the Reader’, by saying, “I have elected to present
Islam’s original source material in juxtaposition to my evaluation of its veracity. This
format is similar to that used by the first English translators of Mein Kampf as they
attempted to warn America about the dangers lurking in Hitler’s manifesto. They, as I,
found it necessary to hold the author accountable. A great deal was at stake then, as it is
today. The last time the world was ignorant of such a hateful and violent doctrine, 55
million people died.”
Thus, we conclude the following from Winn’s distinctive rhetoric: Winn can
actually use ‘juxtaposition’ in a complete sentence; ‘Mein Kampf’ is the German
version of ‘the Quran’; and ‘Hitler’ means ‘Muhammad’ in German. Winn is not
alone in proclaiming this utter ludicrousness.
Was Hitler a Muslim Who Took Instructions From the Quran?
The fact is that Hitler was neither an Arab nor a Muslim; he was an European
Christian, raised by European Christians and lived his entire life among European
Christians. And the 55 million people Winn is referring to died in the horrific Second
World War that countries of the Christian World, which by then had militarily occupied
most of the earth, waged against each other in deadly competition for other peoples’
territories and treasures.( Comment : This is unclear and needs to be reworded. )
Muslims did not have any role in this terrible war. They were fast asleep at that
time. Just like the First World War, the Second World War was started mainly by
Christians and fought mainly by Christians. Hitler did not read the Quran while
ordering the great slaughter of men, women and children. The Quran was not on his
mind when he awarded crosses as medals to his murderous officers, while standing
under flags bearing the crooked cross (Swastika), which was the symbol of his state.
Hitler did not continue the Islamic legacy of slaughtering Jews, such as happened on
Good Fridays15, which were not that good for Jews; there is no such Islamic legacy and
Muslims do not believe in Good Friday. Hitler continued the centuries old Christian
legacy of slaughtering Jews like sheep, because according to the Bible16, the Jews
killed the Christian lord and savior.
15
[Log onto: (http://gbgm-umc.org/umw/bible/campaigns.stm) where one reads this, “Throughout the
Middle Ages, and not only during times of plague, Christians showed hostility toward Jews. Biblical texts
blaming the crucifixion on the Jews were used to fan anti-Semitic hatred and violence, particularly the
traditional readings from the Gospel of John on Good Friday.”]
16
[Acts 4:10: “Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of
Nazareth, whom ye crucified.”]
23
What type of hypocrisy is this? Was the Vatican a Muslim church when it stood
silent and, in fact, aided the Nazis in committing their terrible atrocities? Who issued
this apology: (http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/religion/jan-june98/vatican_4-8a.html),
“Last month (i.e., March 1998), the Vatican issued a 14-page report that apologized for
the Catholic Church's silence during the Holocaust. Following a background report,
Margaret Warner and guests discuss the apology and its historic significance.”
Margaret Warner said, “Close to six million Jews17 were killed in the Holocaust,
imprisoned in concentration camps, gassed in chambers, and buried in mass graves.
The perpetrators were Adolf Hitler and his Nazi regime. But historians have long
questioned whether others--including the Catholic Church--did all they could to save
Europe's Jews from extermination. Some historians also have argued that centuries of
Catholic teachings against the Jewish religion--teachings that included blaming the
Jews for Christ's death--contributed to a climate in Europe in which anti-Semitism
could flourish…Pius XII became Pope in 1939. Under his leadership, the Vatican
maintained a position of strict neutrality in World War II. The Pope was largely silent
about the Nazi atrocities…critics found his public silence shameful…John Paul II, who
became Pope in 1978, took steps to ease tensions between Catholics and Jews…And in
1987, he ordered a study on Catholicism, anti-Semitism and the Holocaust. The result,
issued last month, is a 14-page report called ‘We Remember: A Reflection on the Shoah,’
or Holocaust. The Pope's preface called the Shoah a ‘crime’ that ‘remains an indelible
stain on the history of the century.’… Cardinal Edward Cassidy: It's more than an
apology. We feel that we need to repent, not only for what we may have done
17[]
[In, Holy Wars…crusades…Jihad, there is this segment, “The, ‘Holocaust’, where 6 million Jews have
reportedly died, was committed by the Western Christian nations of Germany, Romania, Italy, etc., with
cooperation and collaboration –or at least silence- of the Vatican, as they admitted –and apologized for.
Often, Muslims and others discount this number for Jewish casualties –6,000,000, as compared to
5,999,999, for instance- saying that this number is fabricated and cannot be substantiated. However, let
the number stand at six million, or close to six million, to provide testimony to the bloody legacy of
European Christians and their violent history. Yes, the Jews use the memory of the Holocaust to play on
the West’s sympathy, so that they continue supporting the Zionists in their illegal occupation of Palestine.
However, Muslims and other nations should demand that Europe pay for its crimes against the Jews, by
giving the Jews a part of every European country that exterminated or helped exterminate Jews or did not
intervene when this crime was being committed. However, the sad reality is that the West paid for its
crimes by ‘granting’ the Jews Palestine, which they and the Jews never owned. The Jews are now creating
a Holocaust of their own against Palestinian Muslims and Christians. They once again misused the
hospitality offered them by Arabs, who tolerated their presence in Palestine during the early part of the
last century, at a time when Jews were being slaughtered in twentieth-century Europe…The Arabs
tolerated Jewish presence in Arabia for centuries; European Romans caused them to leave Palestine after
they destroyed the second Temple in A.D. 70. ‘When Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity
(312), Palestine became a center of Christian pilgrimage, and many Jews left the region’; For more details
about the destruction of the second Temple and the subsequent departure of Jews from Palestine, refer to,
The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition, 2001.’”]
24
individually, but also for those members of our Church who failed in this
regard...Margaret Warner: The document decries the failure of Catholics to do more to
save the Jews, saying: ‘Did Christians give every possible assistance to those being
persecuted, and, in particular, to the persecuted Jews? Many did, but others did not. For
Christians, this heavy burden of conscience of their brothers and sisters during the
Second World War must be a call to penitence. We deeply regret the errors and failures
of those sons and daughters of the Church.’ But the document does not place any
responsibility on the Vatican itself, nor on the Catholic Church as an institution. And on
the question of the roots of Nazi anti-Semitism, it states: ‘The Shoah was the work of a
thoroughly modern neo-pagan regime. Its anti-Semitism had its roots outside of
Christianity and, in pursuing its aims, it did not hesitate to oppose the Church and
persecute her members also.’”
Masters of the Art of Denial
How convenient it is for the Christian Church to claim that the ‘Shoah’ was the
work of a neo-pagan regime! According to their own logic, these Christian nations:
the Germans, the Austrians, the Polish, the French, the Romanians, the Italians, the
Swiss, and so forth, who not only stood silent, but also actively aided in rounding up
Jews, stole their property and gold and sent them to death camps, were all members of
this neo-pagan regime. No! Hitler might not have killed a single civilian Jew himself.
The rounding up and deportation, theft of property and actual killing were carried out
by hundreds of thousands of European Christians. They were not all Nazis or members
of a neo-pagan sect. These atrocities were carried out against members of the very race,
the very followers of the very religion that Christians have slaughtered and murdered
throughout their history: the Jews. Even if Hitler had renounced his Christianity, it is
highly unlikely that all the culpable European Christian nations and individuals that
aided in exterminating the Jews followed suit. They were happy that someone was
finally doing away with the Jews. Was the Christian church itself a convert to this
neo-pagan regime too?
The Sky Rains Neos!
Winn is not alone in uttering this monstrous absurdity. Among his colleagues is
Bill O`Reilly, who seems to be in total love with his voice, his face and the rest of
himself. He is a talk show host18 who invites various qualified experts to his show, yet
18
[Astonishingly, even talk show hosts, not particularly known for knowledge or intelligence, target
Islam and explain it to their audiences.]
25
keeps talking almost the entire time, interrupting the experts and arguing with them as
if he is more of an expert on every topic than the real experts are on any topic.
Sometimes, the camera focuses on the expressions on the faces of the experts, or
O’Reilly’s guests, who show amazement at the sort of things that O`Reilly utters. Even
O`Reilly likens the Quran to Mein Kampf!
O`Reilly may have forgotten the terrible, lying words he uttered about the
Quran, a book he never read or studied, but Allah did not forget what O`Reilly said
about His Book. O`Reilly is now busy suing and slandering the woman who accused
him of sexual harassment, which he still did not unequivocally deny
(http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20041013143609990044). And if her
allegations were proven to be true, O`Reilly will be added to the list of the enemies of
Islam who defamed Muhammad, peace be upon him, to later fall from a status of honor
and grace they falsely proclaim for themselves to the true level of dishonor and
shameless conduct they are drowned in, such as was the case with Jimmy Swaggart
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/february/21/newsid_2565000/2565197.
stm). Allah said to His Prophet in the Quran, {For he who hates (or slanders) you (O
Muhammad), he will be cut off (from posterity and every good thing in this world and
in the Hereafter)}; [108:3].
WWI, WWII, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, the Holocaust and chemical, biological
and nuclear weapons are all a legacy of the Christian West and a product of the
Christian West. Keep Muslims out of it, thank you.

The Quran Does Not Have a Context?
29
Craig Winn said, “Allah’s Book, the Qur’an, lacks context and chronology… So
for clarity and readability, I have trimmed their unruly word patterns and meaningless
repetitions, being careful not to alter the meaning or message of any passage.”
This statement from Winn demonstrates how little he knows about the Quran
and exposes his arrogance. The Quran is not a historical record. It does not contain a
count of the number of Quraish sub-tribes and how many sheep, asses, camels and
cattle they owned19. It is not a story book; it does not contain different genealogies for
the same man who is supposed to be without a genealogy 20; it is not a collection of
fantastic dreams falsely portrayed as reality21; it is not a science book; it is not a medical
or astronomical reference. The Quran is a book of religious guidance.
What Winn sees –in his confused mind- as unruly patterns and meaningless
repetitions all have unique purpose and meaning. Winn cannot even begin to
understand what he is talking about as he cannot understand a sentence of the Arabic
Quran. He cannot begin to understand the power of the Quran, its eloquent statements,
the stories it narrates so as to draw specific lessons, its commandments, news of the
Unseen and the deep emotions and elation it raises in the hearts of the believers when
they listen to it. He cannot begin to contemplate the beauty of its formation, the
magnificent sequence of its verses as they enlighten the believers about Allah, His
Names and Attributes, His Infinite Power, His Actions, His Aid that He sent to Prophets
Noah, Abraham, Lot22, Moses, Jacob, Job, Jesus and Muhammad, the creation, the trees,
19
[For instance, “Numbers”, contains names of the Jewish tribes and sub-tribes and their numbers in
extraordinary detail. This chapter contains thirty-six sub-chapters and implies that the Creator filled His
Book of Guidance with the count of the Children of Israel and everything that pertains to the Children of
Israel as if He did not create anyone else. Allah said in the Quran, {And (both) the Jews and the
Christians say: “We are the children of Allâh and His loved ones.” Say: “Why then does He punish
you for your sins?” Nay, you are but human beings of those He has created, He forgives whom He
wills and He punishes whom He wills. And to Allâh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the
earth and all that is between them; and to Him is the return (of all)}; [5:18].]
20
[Matthew 1 and Luke 3 offer two different genealogies for Jesus Christ. Winn should have dedicated
his time and the time of his comedian proofreaders to correcting this manifest error in the ‘inspired’
books of Christianity and their ‘literal word of God’; [“Time Magazine”; October 25, 2004, Pg., 65].]
21
[Matthew 27, “45. Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to
say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?...50. Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud
voice, yielded up the ghost. 51. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the
bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52. And the graves were opened; and many bodies
of the saints which slept arose.”]
22
[In one of the exceedingly abusive emails that he sent to me, Winn claimed that Prophet Lot is not a
prophet. It is obvious why he said that considering the fabricated, awful story about Lot contained in
Genesis: 19. However, and in contradiction to what Winn claimed, this very chapter [19:12-13] stated that
the angels spoke to Lot, who knew then who they were, when they conveyed to him the news of the
imminent destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Also, in verse 19, Lot described himself as, ‘thy servant’,
30
the fish in the sea, the wonders of the earth and the power of the nature that Allah
created on earth.
Winn thinks that because the translators of the meaning contained in the Quran
repeat certain English words to explain various Quranic terms, that the original words
in Arabic are the same. English is a rather limited language as compared to Arabic.
Several ‘different’ words in Arabic –which if placed in different sentences offer unique
perspectives and implications- yet can only be translated into one or a very limited
number of relevant English words.
I am at loss for words for this extreme arrogance by a person who is truly
ignorant in the Quran; the Quran that has always sparked the imagination and invoked
the love, reverence and respect in the hearts of countless number of Muslims for more
than 1438 lunar years. May Allah make you see the light one day, Winn, and indeed,
you need a powerful light to be able to see.
The Quran Contains Many Topics
The Quran contains many topics foremost among them is its foundation:
Monotheism and the belief in the One and Only Deity there is. The Quran teaches
every aspect of the Islamic Faith, stories of previous Prophets and how they were
treated by their respective nations, emphasizes the magnificence of the creation, repeats
Allah’s Warnings and Promises within various parts of it, vividly describes the
Hereafter, Hell, Paradise and the Day of Resurrection, gives specific and general
Commandments pertaining to various aspects of life and religion and establishes a code
of good conduct and better behavior. Some long Surahs, such as Surat Yusuf (Chapter
12), which contains 111 Ayat (Quranic sentences) is almost entirely about the story of
Prophet Yusuf (Joseph), peace be upon him, his father, Prophet Ya`qub (Jacob), peace
upon him, and Yusuf’s eleven brothers, may Allah grant them His Mercy. The last verse
in this chapter reads like this, what transliterated means, {111. Indeed in their stories,
there is a lesson for men of understanding. It (the Qur’ân) is not a forged statement
but a confirmation of (Allâh’s existing Books) which were before it [i.e. the original
copies of the Taurât (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel) and other Scriptures of Allâh] and a
detailed explanation of everything and a guide and a mercy for the people who
believe}.
If one takes out the oft-repeated reminder in this Surah about Tau`heed (Islamic
Monotheism) and Allah’s Warnings and Promises, then that would entirely spoil it. To
i.e., servant of God. Similarly, in Genesis 32:1-2, Prophet Jacob spoke to the angels, knowing who they
were, and in Exodus 32-13, Prophet Moses said this, “Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy
servants,” i.e., servants of God. Winn denied this status for Prophet Lot because, I hope, he read the rest
of Genesis: 19. Yet, Winn claims that the Quran contains ‘twisted bible stories’. We will revisit this
statement from Winn, Allah willing.]
31
Winn, the Quran is a set of meaningless repetitions but his Bible is not, even though
it contains four Gospels narrating the same life-story of the same man? Yet, there are
hundreds more different Gospels that the Christians have mysteriously cast away
throughout their history that also narrate the same life-story of the same person. And
there are horrific discrepancies and contradictions in these different Gospels to call
for yet another revision. However, the Bible has been repeatedly revised, and
changed, that a new revision would be useless. The best course of action for the
Christians and Jews to take is to produce the original copies of the Torah and the
Gospel, so that they can revise the copies they have based on the original, which will
still be a human production, not divine. In, It is human, Yet Divine, Pg., 17, Dr. W
Graham Scroggie of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, a prestigious Christian
evangelical mission, says, “Yes, the Bible is human, although some out of zeal which is
not according to knowledge, have denied this. Those books have passed through the
minds of men, are written in the language of men, were penned by the hands of men
and bear in their style the characteristics of men”;
(http://www.themodernreligion.com/comparative/christ/christianity_scholars.htm). Yet,
and even though Scroggie admits the Bible is human, he still calls it ‘divine’.
There are numerous short Surahs in the Quran that discuss single topics. Many
other Surahs contain multiple topics. The fundamental aspects of Islamic Monotheism
are repeated throughout the Quran, because this is the purpose of the Quran and the
core of its message. They are not meaningless repetitions or unruly, as Winn claims.
The Quran itself is called, ‘Adh-Dhikr’, meaning, ‘The Reminder’, and the reminder is
mentioned repeatedly. However, each repetition has a unique perspective and is
expressed through a collection of unique sentences within various contexts. Each has its
place in the Quran and each has a different impact on the heart of the faithful.
Does the Torah or the Gospel Mention the Creator and the Necessity to Serve Him
Alone Only Once?
Does the Torah or the Gospel mention the Lord and the need to obey and
worship Him only once? Does the Torah call to Monotheism and mentions Allah’s
Warnings and Promises only once? Do these books mention only one example of the
earlier disbelieving nations and how they treated their Prophets? Was the current copy
of the Torah meaningful when it mentioned in ‘detail’ the number of the members of
each Jewish tribe, men women and children, and the count of their animal possessions?
Different verses and chapters of the Quran are recited aloud by Muslim
congregations in every corner of the world three times a day every day of the year. The
entire Quran is recited repeatedly throughout the year and especially during the lunar
month of Ramadhan during optional Congregational Prayer held every night of the
32
month. What Muslims recite is meant to be a reminder, not chronologically arranged

story accounts, a record of genealogy, or a historical consensus of ancient tribes.
Al-Bukhari, whom Winn admits arranged his collection of Hadeeth according to
topics, as well as, many other Muslim Scholars who wrote similarly arranged books
could have easily done a superior job rearranging the Quran chronologically than Craig
Winn could ever have accomplished. This ‘Winn mission’ was not contemplated even
centuries after the Quran was recited and studied by billions of Muslims and countless
Christians and Jews, some of whom spoke Arabic fluently and studied Islam for years
consecutively, such as famous Western Orientalists of the last two centuries.
Continuing Scientific Criticism of Some of Winn’s Claims
Winn said, “I have distilled the salient parts of the five earliest and most holy
Islamic books into one: the Qur’an, and the inspired Sunnah collections of Ibn Is`haq’s
Sira, al-Tabari’s History, and Bukhari’s and Muslim’s Hadith.” He also said, “…quoting
vociferously from the Sunnah as recorded by Bukhari, Muslim, Ishaq, and Tabari—
Islam’s earliest and more trusted sources…These official works include: the Sira,
Ta’rikh, Hadith, and Qur’an. Ishaq’s Sira, or biography, called Sirat Rasul Allah,
provides the lone account of Muhammad’s life and the formation of Islam written
within 200 years of the prophet’s death…The Ta’rikh is the oldest, most trusted and
comprehensive history of Islam’s formation and Muhammad’s example, called Sunnah.
It was written by Tabari…It begins with Islamic creation and ends with the acts of
Muhammad’s companions. Tabari is a compilation of Hadith quotes and Qur’an
passages…A Hadith is an oral report from Muhammad or his companions. Muslims
believe that Hadith were inspired by Allah, making them scripture. The most revered
Collection was compiled in a topical arrangement by Bukhari.”
Thus, Craig Winn took it upon himself to ‘distill’ the salient (as in significant or
important) parts of the so-called ‘five earliest and most holy Islamic books’ into one.
However, for Winn’s conclusions to be used as evidence against Islam, and for his
designating a part of Islam as being salient, it is fair to say that at least one Muslim
Scholar should agree with him. Otherwise, Winn, who is not only a non-Muslim with
deep animosity against Islam but also a non- scholar in Islam, would be determining for
Muslims which books are most holy to them and which parts of these books are salient.
Muslims do not take legislation or knowledge except from their own scholars
and then only that which is supported by scientific evidence. Craig Winn does not
speak Arabic, yet the vast majority of Islamic literature is written in classical Arabic. At
best, Craig Winn might have read English transliterations –which he already claims are
bad- of a few Islamic books devoid of any depth in research even if he wanted to,
because he could not read or comprehend the texts in the original Arabic.
33
Do ‘Qur’an’, ‘Tafsir’, ‘Hadeeth’, ‘Sunnah’, ‘Tarikh’, and, ‘Seerah’, Sound the Same?
Definitions:
Qur’an: The literal Word of Allah23, and, “The Divinely Revealed Holy Book of Islam.24”
Tafsir: Knowledge in the meaning contained in the Quran25
Hadith: “A `Hadith reports the Prophet’s actions and statements and his agreeing to
some actions and statements.26”27
Sunnah: “The Prophet’s Tradition, which includes his statements, actions and agreeing
to some statements and actions, is called, ‘Sunnah’, which means, ‘path, way,
methodology, method, tradition.28”29
Tarikh: means, ‘History Collection’, such as, Tarikh al-Umam wal-Muluk, or, Tarikh al-
Islam, by at-Tabari
Seerah: means, ‘Biography’, such as, Seerat ar-Rasul, by Ibn Is`haq
Isnad: A chain of narrators reporting Prophetic statements or actions
Mursal: A Hadeeth reported through a broken chain of narration because it does not
contain the name of the Prophet’s companion30
Craig Winn frequently claimed in his abusive emails to me that Muslims do not
read their own scriptures. This is because Winn reads, and the evidence to his extensive
readings on Islam is found here. For evidence supporting the claims he made against
Islam in his doomed book, Winn relied on the Seerah of Ibn Is`haq and at-Tabari’s
Tarikh, calling them, ‘inspired Sunnah collections’, and designating at-Tabari’s Tarikh as
a, ‘compilation of Hadith quotes and Qur’an passages.’ [Winn says this even though at-
23[]
[Allah speaks with whatever He wills whenever He wills; this is one of His Attributes, none is equal or
similar to Him. Allah said in the Quran, {…and to Mûsâ (Moses) Allâh spoke directly}; [4:164].]

34
Tabari already has a lengthy book on Tafsir that is entirely different in content and
topics than his book on Tarikh, which is a book on history. At-Tabari must have been
confused!] Further, Winn described the five books under discussion as being ‘official’
and ‘the five earliest and most holy, most trusted Islamic books’.
Undisputed Facts Universally Accepted by Muslims
The Quran is Islam’s holy book, as Allah stated in the Quran, what transliterated
means, {And We (Allah) have sent down to you (O, Muhammad) the Book (this
Qur’ân) in truth}; [5:48].
The Prophet’s Sunnah is also a Divine Revelation inspired by Allah, but formed
by the Prophet’s own words, actions and practices, {Nor does he (Muhammad) speak of
(his own) desire. It is only a Revelation revealed}; [53:3-4].
The two most authentic books after the Quran are the Hadeeth collections of al-
Bukhari then Muslim31. They are called, “As-Sahihan”, meaning, “The Two Authentic
Collections”. Al-Bukhari and Muslim gained this status among Hadeeth Collectors on
account of their successful implementation of the tough conditions they set for any
Hadeeth to be included in their books, not because they were the oldest, or the largest,
or the “inspired” or the “official” collections. Then, there is no agreement among
Muslim Scholars on which Sunnah books respectively come after these two books in
authenticity.
The mere suggestion by Winn that the Tarikh by Ibn Jarir at-Tabari and the
Seerah by Ibn Is`haq qualify as being among the five earliest, most holy Islamic books is
clear conjecture and demands proof, i.e. a list of Muslim Scholars who agreed with him.
Ibn Is`haq’s Seerah as a Book of Hadeeth
‘Seerah’, by definition, is a biography. Imam Ibn Is`haq, of the late second/early

third generation of Islam, collected the Prophet’s biography in a book popularly known
as, Seerat Ibn Is`haq. In his Seerah, Ibn Is`haq narrated the Prophet’s life-story starting
from before his birth until after his death, peace be upon him. However, Ibn Is`haq’s
Seerah is not a collection of Hadith or Sunnah, but an autobiography. Ibn Is`haq’s
Seerah contains historical accounts, poems, genealogies, irrelevant stories, narrations of
battles, as well as, some Quranic Verses –and sometimes their explanation, many
Hadeeth narrations and statements collected from the Prophet’s companions. ‘Sunnah’,
exclusively pertains to the Prophet’s statements, actions, practices and traditions, and in
general terms, includes statements and actions from the Prophet’s companions; Sunnah
reports rely entirely on established chains of narration (Isnad) reporting them. Ibn
31
[Holy Wars…Crusades…Jihad, Pg., 25]
35
Is`haq, for instance, mentioned various poems popular since before the Prophet was
born, and this by no means qualifies as Sunnah or Hadeeth. Sunnah collections do not
emphasize the life-story of the Prophet before Islam except to a limited extent, as Imam
Ibn Taimiyyah stated in his Fatawa. He also said (Fatawa: Vol. 13, Pg., 345), “Allah has
provided evidence (i.e., Isnad) establishing the authenticity or lack thereof of the
narrations that are necessary in matters of the religion. It is well known that most of
what was reported in aspects of Tafsir (meaning contained in the Quran) is similar to
narrations reporting Maghazi (or Seerah) and battles, promoting Imam Ahmad [Ibn
Hanbal] to state that three matters (or topics) do not have Isnad: Tafsir, Mala`him32, and
Maghazi (or Seerah). This is because most of their narrations are of the Maraseel (pl. for
Mursal) type, such as narrations reported by Urwah Ibn az-Zubair, ash-Sha`bi, az-Zuhri,
Musa Ibn Uqbah and [Muhammad] Ibn Is`haq.” Maraseel Hadeeths, wherein the
chain of the narration is missing the name of the Prophet’s companion33, are weak
(not authentic) narrations34.
Further, the claim that Ibn Is`haq’s Seerah (or, Maghazi), at-Tabari’s History and
the books of Hadith by al-Bukhari and Muslim are, along with the Quran, the five
earliest and most holy of Islamic books, is plainly false.
In, Holy Wars…Crusades…Jihad35, the following is stated under the chapter,
‘Books of Hadeeth’: “There are many books that contain collections of Prophetic
statements. They include -descending in status, prestige and authenticity36-: Sahih al-
Bukhari37, Sahih Muslim38, Sunan Abu Dawood39, Sunan at-Tirmidhi40, Sunan an-
Nasaii41, Sunan Ibn Majah42, Muwatta Malik43, Musnad Ahmad44, and so forth.”
However, these are by no means the earliest Sunnah collections.
32
[In, Àun al-Ma`bud bi-Shar`h Sunan Abi Dawud, it is reported that, ‘Mala`him’, pertains to great
battles.]

In, Holy Wars…Crusades…Jihad, Pg., 27-8, is the following: “Collecting

`Hadiths started during the lifetime of the Prophet, peace be upon him. Some of his
companions, like the family of `Hazm, Abdullah Ibn Àmr Ibn al-Àas, to name a few,
recorded the Prophet’s statements, with his permission. Many more companions
memorized and reached an excellent standard in memorizing `Hadith verbatim…The
Arabs were largely an unlettered nation that depended on memory to preserve its
traditions, history and poems, in order to transfer them from one generation to the
next…A large number of companions excelled in memorizing `Hadith, such as Abu
Hurairah, Àishah (the Prophet’s wife), Jabir Ibn Abdullah, Abdullah Ibn Ùmar,
Abdullah Ibn Àmr, Abdullah Ibn Abbas, Abdullah Ibn az-Zubair, among many others.
Even when literacy became widespread in the Muslim World, scholars of early and
successive Muslim generations relied on memory to preserve `Hadith narrations, as
well as, compiling `Hadith on a massive professional scale.”
Also, there is this segment in, Holy Wars…Crusades…Jihad, Pg., 29-30,: “There
were many other Collectors of `Hadith who came before and after the mentioned
scholars, such as Abu Zuràh Ùbaidillah ar-Razi (200-264 AH/815-877 CE), Abu `Hatim
Muhammad Ibn Idris ar-Razi (195-277/810-890) and his son Abdul-Ra`hman Ibn Abi
`Hatim (240-327/854-938), Muhammad Ibn Nasr al-Marwazi (202-294/817-906), Ayyub
as-Sikhtiyani (68-131/687-748), Abdullah Ibn al-Mubarak (118-181/736-797), Muhammad
Ibn al-`Hasan ash-Shaibani (131-189/748-804), Abu Dawood at-Tayalisi (124-204/741-
819), Abdul Razzaq Ibn Hammam (126-211/743-826), Muhammad Ibn Sa`d (168-230/784-
844), Abu `Hatim Ibn `Hibban (270-354/883-965), at-Tabarani (260-360/873-970), to name
a few.”
Except for the Quran, Winn Erroneously Designated a Blend of Books of Seerah,
History and Sunnah as Being the Earliest Sunnah Books
By referring to history, we find that these are the years of birth of the four
scholars Craig Winn mentioned: Muhammad Ibn Is`haq (89-150 AH/707-767 CE),
Muhammad Ibn Isma’eel al-Bukhari (194-256/809-869), Muslim Ibn al-Hajjaj al-Qushairi
(204-261/819-874) and Muhammad Ibn Jarir at-Tabari (224-310/838-922). How can these
four scholars qualify to write the earliest Sunnah books, when two of the books
under discussion, Ibn Is`haq’s and at-Tabari’s, were written on Seerah
(autobiography) and Tarikh (history), respectively, while numerous scholars collected
books of Hadeeth before al-Bukhari and Muslim? Three of the Four major Imams of
Islamic Jurisprudence, Malik Ibn Anas (93-179/711-795), Muhammad Ibn Idris ash-
Shafiì (150-204/767-819) and A`hmad Ibn Hanbal (164-241/780-855) are not only the
authors of well-known Hadeeth and Sunnah collections, but they all preceded al-
Bukhari, Muslim and at-Tabari.
37
Malik, who wrote the, Muwatta, was the teacher of ash-Shafiì; ahs-Shafiì, who
wrote several major books on Islamic Jurisprudence, such as, al-Umm, was the teacher
of A`hmad Ibn Hanbal; A`hmad Ibn Hanbal collected the, Musnad, one of the major
encyclopedias of the Sunnah, and was the teacher of al-Bukhari and Muslim.
Further, several Muslim Imams wrote books on Maghazi (or, Siyar [the Prophet’s
Seerah or life-story]) before Ibn Is`haq and at-Tabari. They include Abdullah Ibn Abi
Bakr Ibn `Hazm (65-135/684-752), the teacher of Ibn Is`haq who collected a book on
Maghazi before Ibn Is`haq45. Malik Ibn Anas, a contemporary of Abdullah Ibn Abi Bakr
Ibn `Hazm and also of Ibn Is`haq, as well as, [Muhammad] Ibn Sa`d stated that Ibn Abi
Bakr was a truthful teacher who narrated a number of Hadeeths.
The scholars who collected Maghazi also include Imam Musa Ibn Uqbah (died
141/758), the first to collect a book on Maghazi, according to Imam adh-Dhahabi in,
Siyaru A`lami an-Nubalaa. When Imam Malik Ibn Anas was asked about which book
of Maghazi should be studied, he recommended Musa Ibn Uqbah’s. Malik said on
another occasion, “Musa Ibn Uqbah did not collect numerous narrations as others did.”
Imam adh-Dhahabi commented, “Malik meant Ibn Is`haq by these words. There is no
doubt that Ibn Is`haq wrote a lengthy book and mentioned numerous genealogies,
which should have been summarized, and collected many unnecessary poems, which
should have been omitted, as well as, collecting unreliable narrations. In addition,
Ibn Is`haq failed to collect many authentic narrations he did not hear of. Therefore,
his book needs to be edited and corrected in addition to adding the narrations he
failed to include.” Adh-Dhahabi added that al-Bukhari and Muslim collected the
narrations of Musa Ibn Uqbah in the core of their Hadeeth collections. In comparison,
and as adh-Dhahabi stated, al-Bukhari only mentioned Ibn Is`haq’s narrations as a way
of supporting other narrations (and without Sanad, i.e., in the form of Ta`liqat); Muslim
mentioned Ibn Is`haq’s narrations coupled with other narrators narrating the same
reports. Musa Ibn Uqbah died in the Hijri year of one hundred and forty-one (758 CE),
nine years before Ibn Is`haq died. May Allah honor both of them.
The Status of Muhammad Ibn Is`haq in Islam
In his scholarly encyclopedia on biographies of notable Muslims entitled, Siyaru

A`lami an-Nubalaa, Imam Shams ad-Din adh-Dhahabi (673-748 AH/1274-1347 CE), a
major scholar of Hadeeth and Islamic History, stated the following facts about
Muhammad Ibn Is`haq, author of, as-Seerah an-Nabawiyyah.
1 – He was born in the year 89 AH (707 CE) and met Anas Ibn Malik, the Prophet’s
companion, and az-Zuhri, a major scholar among the second generation of Islam.
45
[Refer to, Siyaru A`lami an-Nubalaa, by Imam adh-Dhahabi]
38
2 – Adh-Dhahabi then mentioned these major Hadeeth scholars who stated that Ibn
Is`haq was reliable in Hadeeth narrations, grading his narrations as Hasan46: Yahya Ibn
Maèen and A`hmad Ibn Hanbal47. Abu Zuràh stated that Ibn Is`haq was Saduq
(truthful), Àli Ibn Abdullah said that Ibn Is`haq’s narrations are accepted; Ibn Àdi said
that Ibn Is`haq is acceptable; and Ibn Idris said that Ibn Is`haq was a Thiqah (reliable, or
trustworthy). Also, Imam Abu Zuràh stated that a group of scholars learned
knowledge with Ibn Is`haq, such as Sufyan, Shu`bah, Ibn Uyainah, Ibn al-Mubarak, and
so forth. Az-Zuhri, Asim Ibn Umar Ibn Qatadah and adh-Dhahabi also praised Ibn
Is`haq’s knowledge in the Maghazi (narration of battles).
3 – Adh-Dhahabi also listed some of the major scholars of Islam who refuted Ibn
Is`haq’s reliability in Hadeeth narrations. Imam Malik, for instance, called Ibn Is`haq a
liar and Yahya Ibn Saèed al-Ansari, as well as, al-A`mash refuted one of Ibn Is`haq’s
narrations by saying that he lied. As a general statement, Yahya Ibn Saèed graded Ibn
Ishaq as being weak in Hadeeth narration. Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal discounted the
reliability of Ibn Ishaq if he alone narrates a Hadeeth. Also, Imams Yahya Ibn Maèen
(in another narration from him), an-Nasaii and ad-Daraqutni stated that Ibn Ishaq was
weak in Hadeeth. The great Imam of Sunnah, Imam A`hmad Ibn Hanbal, also added
that Ibn Is`haq’s narrations are not accepted if they are about the Sunan (Pl. for Sunnah;
[yet, Craig Ibn Winn claims that Ibn Is`haq’s Seerah is a Sunnah book!]), stating that
even [in the rare occasions] where Ibn Is`haq clearly stated that he heard a Hadeeth
from his teacher, he would often contradict other narrators. Therefore, and as Imam
A`hmad stated, if Ibn Is`haq alone reports a Hadeeth, then that narration is not
accepted. Adh-Dhahabi also stated that if a narration that Ibn Is`haq reports contradicts
other [more established] narrators, then Ibn Is`haq’s narration is rejected.
4 – Adh-Dhahabi listed some of the reasons why Ibn Is`haq was considered weak
regarding Hadeeth narration, as follows.
A – Imam A`hmad Ibn Hanbal stated that Ibn Is`haq was a Mudallis48, and in
another occasion, he said that Ibn Ishaq’s Tadlees (v. for Mudallis) was
substantial. Imam A`hmad also said that Ibn Is`haq did not care from whom he
collected Hadeeth.
B – Imam Ibn Numair said that Ibn Is`haq reported false Hadeeths from
unknown narrators.
46
[‘Hasan’, is the lesser grade of authentic Hadeeths; ‘Sahih’, is the upper grade.]
47
[according to the conditions that will soon be mentioned, Allah willing]
48
[Ibn Is`haq often started his narrations by saying, “Those whom I trust narrated to me”, or “Some men
from this city told me”, etc. He also would collect Hadeeths from unreliable narrators and hide the name
of his teacher by saying, “So and So said”, meaning the teacher of his teacher, who may be trustworthy, so
that the Hadeeth narration is not rejected if the name of his own teacher is specified. However, whenever
Ibn Is`haq said, “So and so said to me”, he would not lie.]
39
C – Adh-Dhahabi concluded by saying that among the worst errors made by Ibn
Is`haq is that he used to record narrations he collected from anyone, and thus,
did not have Wara`49 in this regard, may Allah forgive him.
5 – How Ibn Is`haq’s narration should be treated is summarized in this statement from
Imam Ibn Numair, “If he narrates a Hadeeth from teachers he directly heard from and
who are known to be truthful, then his Hadeeth is from the grade Hasan because he is
truthful.” Yet, Imam A`hmad stated that if Ibn Is`haq is the only narrator of that
Hadeeth, then his narration is discounted. And the key words to look for here, for Ibn
Ishaq’s narration not to be dismissed outright, are, “If Ibn Is`haq says, ‘So and so
narrated to me’, then he did hear that narration.’ Otherwise, if he says, ‘So and so said’,
then the narration is rejected.’” Meaning, Ibn Is`haq would not lie; if he states that he
heard the Hadeeth from his teacher, then his assertion is accepted.
Definition: A Hadeeth is a narration that starts with the collector of Hadeeth

narrations, such as al-Bukhari or Muslim, wherein the collector names the teacher
from whom he heard the Hadeeth, who also names his teacher, and so forth, until the
chain reaches the Prophet’s companion and then the Prophet, peace be upon him.
A Summary of How Muslim Scholars Treated Ibn Is`haq’s Hadeeth Narration
For a Hadeeth reported by Ibn Is`haq to be accepted as a Hasan Hadeeth,

which is the lesser grade of authentic Hadeeths, Ibn Is`haq must declare that he
heard the narration directly from his teacher, provide a reliable chain of narrators
throughout the chain of narration until it reaches the companion or the Prophet, and
then his narration cannot contradict a narration reported by a more established
narrator or group of narrators. Imam A`hmad added that Ibn Is`haq should not be
the only narrator for a Hadeeth, otherwise, his narration is rejected.
It is now clear that Craig Winn involved himself in a type of knowledge that is
far more complicated for his limited intellect, and meager knowledge in Islam, to
comprehend.
Status of at-Tabari’s Tarikh
Imam Muhammad Ibn Jarir at-Tabari (224-310/838-922) was a major scholar of

Hadeeth, Tafsir (meaning contained in the Quran) and Islamic History, as Imam adh-
Dhahabi stated50. At-Tabari started his book on Tarikh with creation and ended it with
historical accounts that occurred during his time. But at-Tabari was not the first to write
49
[‘Wara’’, pertains to meanings of having fear from Allah in a profound way that guides one to stay
away from suspicious things.]
50
[Siyaru A`lami an-Nubalaa]
40
a book on Islamic history, as Winn claimed. Al-Ya`qubi wrote a Tarikh before at-Tabari
that also started with the story of creation.
However, and just like many other Muslim historians, Ibn Jarir relied heavily on
Ibn Is`haq’s Seerah while reporting the Prophet’s biography. This is why a good
segment of at-Tabari’s Tarikh is almost identical to Ibn Is`haq’s Seerah; at-Tabari often
quotes Ibn Is`haq even if to contradict him. The Tarikh by at-Tabari is by no means a
Hadeeth or Tafsir collection. It is far larger than Ibn Is`haq’s Seerah, because it narrates
the stories of Creation, earlier Prophets and nations, pre-Islamic history, the history of
the Islamic era, until his time, and includes biographies of countless number of people.
It also includes Quranic Verses and Prophetic Hadeeths relevant to the topics contained
in the book. It is a book on Tarikh, not on Tafsir or Hadeeth. At-Tabari compiled
another book on Tafsir, popularly known as, Tafsir at-Tabari, dedicated to explaining
the meaning contained in the Quran. At-Tabari’s Tafsir is one of the major books of
Tafsir. Yet, it also contains many false Hadeeths and unreliable narrations that he
collected from various resources. At-Tabari was a scholar, but neither he nor his book
are divine. In Islam, the only resources that are free from errors are the Quran and the
authentic Sunnah as reported through reliable, established chains of narration.
To summarize, at-Tabari’s book on history suffers from similar defects as Ibn
Is`haq’s Seerah. This is because when reporting history, Muslim scholars did not set a
condition to only include authentic narrations reporting various incidents or statements.
Thus, Seerah and Tarikh books are collections of stories that their authors collected from
various sources, using authentic chains of narration, weak chains of narrations and even
no chains of narration. Enjoying a book of stories about earlier nations and historical
accounts is one thing. Using these stories as a source for Islamic legislation is an
entirely different matter.
If Hadeeth Established Through Weak Isnad (Chain of Narration) is Rejected in

Islam, Then What About Stories that Have No Isnad?
Winn agrees with Muslims that the collection of Hadeeth by Imam Muslim is
among the most respected books in Islam. In the introduction to his collection of
authentic Hadeeths, Imam Muslim restated, and agreed with, the established
methodology that scholars of Hadeeth use pertaining to rejecting weak and
unsubstantiated Hadeeths and only accepting authentic, well known Hadeeths reported
by reliable, trustworthy and truthful narrators. Imam Ibn Taimiyyah concurred, by
saying (Fatawa 1:250), “It is not allowed to rely on weak Hadeeths, i.e. that are neither
Sahih nor Hasan in grade, in matters pertaining to Shareeàh.” ‘Shareeàh’, pertains
to aspects of Sunnah and Islamic Law, which Imam A`hmad stated should not be taken
from Ibn Is`haq, a known Mudallis.
41
Why Did Ibn Is`haq and At-Tabari Collect Weak and Fabricated Reports in Their
Seerah and Tarikh, Respectively
Imam Ibn Taimiyyah said (Fatawa 1:250), “Some scholars of Hadeeth collected in
their books all the narrations they could find regarding a certain topic. Their aim was to
publicize all what was narrated pertaining to certain topics, not that every narration
they collected is actually reliable [even to them]. This is especially the case since one of
them would grade a certain Hadeeth [that they collected in their books] as Gharib
(weak), Munkar (Rejected) or Dahèef (weak; not recognized). Sometimes they failed to
do even that51.”
What Does ‘Inspire’ Mean in Islamic Terminology?
Another aspect of the unique ‘Winn paragraph’ under discussion is his calling
the list of books he chose, ‘official’, and his using of the word, ‘inspired’ while
describing Ibn Is`haq’s Maghazi. By using the word, ‘inspired’, Winn seeks to elevate
Ibn Is`haq’s Seerah to a divine status similar to that given to the ‘inspired’ books
popularly claimed to have been written by John, Luke, Mark and Matthew52. Winn is
the only ‘scholar on Islam’ who claimed this status for Ibn Is`haq or for any other
Muslim author or Islamic book. It is obvious why he did this: he wants to dwell on any
and every story Ibn Is`haq collected in his book as proof establishing his claims against
Islam; this is a pre-emptive offensive against those who may dispute some of Ibn
Is`haq’s accounts. Since Winn decided that Ibn Is`haq’s Seerah is inspired, then we
will use Ibn Is`haq’s Seerah to refute Winn’s claims. But first…
Allah said in the Quran, what translated means, {Nor does he speak of (his own)
desire. It is only a Revelation revealed}; [53:3-4]. ‘He’, referred to in this Quranic Ayah
(Sentence) is Muhammad, son of, Abdullah, peace be upon him, Islam’s Prophet, not
Muhammad, son of Is`haq, author of the Seerah, may Allah grant him His Mercy. And
in Islam, all types of revelation from heaven to earth ceased upon the death of Prophet
Muhammad, who stated that there will be no Prophet after him; [al-Bukhari and
Muslim reported this Hadeeth from Abu Hurairah, the Prophet’s companion].
51
[leaving it for other scholars to expose the weakness in these narrations]
52
[Log onto: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Testament). If one reads the article mentioned here
aiming to reach a direct answer to the question of, “who wrote the New Testament”, one will end up with
the same confusion as started with. The problem facing Christians is multi-fold: they lack verifiable
chains of narration leading to any author of any book contained in the New Testament; they cannot agree
on the original language of many parts of the New Testament or when they were compiled; they cannot
agree on a simple answer as to, “Who wrote the New Testament?” As for the Torah, its predicament is
more profound than the predicament of the New Testament.]
42
It is a fundamental aspect of the Islamic Creed that only the Prophets are
immune from committing error in aspects of the religion and that they alone receive
divine revelation or inspiration. Imam Ibn Taimiyyah said (Fatawa 35:121), “Except for
the Prophets, everyone will have some of what they say either accepted or rejected. It is
not required to obey anyone who is not a Prophet or a Messenger in everything they
say, nor is it required from creation to imitate him or believe in all what he commands
or all the news that he conveys…Allah Taàla (the Exalted) said, {O, you who believe!
Obey Allâh and obey the Messenger, and those of you (Muslims) who are in
authority. (And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allâh and to
His Messenger, if you believe in Allâh and in the Last Day}; [4:59].” Thus, the Book of
Allah and the authentic Sunnah of His Messenger are the supreme authority in Islam
and everyone and everything else is subservient to them. There are no exceptions.
We do not have ‘inspired’ Muslim writers in Islam, not even al-Bukhari, whose
collection of Prophetic Statements (Hadeeth) is second in authenticity only to the
Quran. Allah gave success to al-Bukhari to accomplish this admirable fete, but his book
is not ‘inspired’ in the Christian sense of the word; it is his personal effort and he was
not immune from error. The great Imam of Sunnah, Imam Ibn Taimiyyah (Fatawa
18:17) said that among the authentic Hadeeths that the community of Hadeeth scholars
agreed upon accepting and approving are the majority of the Hadeeths collected by
Bukhari and Muslim. He also stated that several scholars disputed some Hadeeths in
Bukhari. He also stated that Bukhari had more knowledge in Hadeeth than Muslim
and that Muslim collected some Hadeeths that other scholars rightfully considered
weak.
Yet, the overwhelming majority of the Hadeeth collections of Bukhari and
Muslim are not only well-established, but are also representative of a good part of the
Prophetic Sunnah. They do not contain all of the authentic Hadeeths, but what they
contain is substantially accurate. Therefore, if Winn and his likes still wish to attack
Islam, we, Muslims, direct them to reading al-Bukhari and Muslim. Then, they had
better bring serious claims backed by scientific evidence and void of foul words of
abuse, so as to support their claims and earn respect for their work. I look forward for
serious challenge that requires hard work on my part to refute it. Winn’s book is no
such challenge: he does not have a clue as to which Islamic narration is just a story, and
which narration establishes Islamic Legislation.
Craig Winn is the only ‘scholar’ who called Ibn Is`haq’s Seerah ‘inspired’.
Frequently, Imams of history and Sunnah contradicted Ibn Is`haq’s Seerah and Hadeeth
narrations, including Ibn Hisham, who edited Ibn Is`haq’s Seerah, and Ibn Qayyim al-
Jauziyyah who contradicted Ibn Is`haq in various parts of, Zad-ul Maàd, reminding his
readers of the controversy between Muslim Scholars regarding Ibn Is`haq’s reliability.
For instance, Ibn Hisham said, “I will abandon some of what Ibn Is`haq collected in his
book which does not involve the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, nor was it
43
revealed in the Quran…and also omit some poems that Ibn Is`haq collected and which
none among those who have knowledge in poems recognize [as genuine], as well as,
some outrageous reports that are not worthy of mentioning.”
Winn may elect to clarify his usage of the word, ‘inspired’, by saying that Ibn
Is`haq’s Seerah was unprecedented. Yet, we refuted this claim earlier in this research.
Importance of Isnad
This is a segment taken from, Holy Wars…Crusades…Jihad, Pg., 26-7, on the

topic of Isnad, “Unlike followers of any other major religion, Muslims have a complete
and accurate record of the biography, actions and statements of their Prophet, peace be
upon him. Muslim scholars have devised an outstanding and scientifically precise
method of protecting the Prophetic tradition. It is called the method of ‘Isnad’, meaning,
using chains of narration to establish the validity, or lack thereof, of any statement or
action attributed to the Prophet, peace be upon him. For instance, when Imam Malik
Ibn Anas, who collected, al-Muwatta, reports a `Hadith, he mentions the name of his
teacher, who mentions the name of his teacher (the Prophet’s companion), who narrates
the Prophet’s statement or action. Malik was from the third generation of Islam; only
two narrators were between him and the Prophet in many of the `Hadiths he collected.
The scholars of `Hadith then analyze every `Hadith’s chain of narration, verifying the
trustworthiness of each narrator, by researching the narrator’s history, conduct and how
their contemporary scholars portrayed his or her character, state of mind and reliability.
Scholars of `Hadith also verify the continuity of every chain of narration, until it reaches
the Prophet, peace be upon him, to uncover any missing names in the chain that may
disrupt its continuity. Only then, and when the chain of narration is held as acceptable
and, along with the Text, are verified as being free from hidden or apparent defects, will
the `Hadith be accepted as authentic, either from the grade of Sahih or the lesser grade
of `Hasan. This is why Muslims still have a vast collection of the statements and actions
of the Prophet of Islam, more than fourteen centuries after he died…Any `Hadith
report53 that does not withstand the rigors of the method of Isnad will be rejected.”
A Brief Narrative of the Prophet’s Seerah
53
[or Seerah report]
44
For a reliable, comprehensive summary of the Prophet’s Seerah (Life-story) and

detailed description of his Sunnah, refer to the first volume of the English translation
on, Zad-ul Maàd, by Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jauziyyah, one of the major scholars of
Islam. Allah has blessed me, Jalal Abualrub, to complete four volumes of this
translation, out of the anticipated twenty volumes. We will rely heavily on, Zad-ul
Maàd, while narrating a summary of the Prophet’s Seerah, Allah willing.
The Prophet’s Genealogy
He is Muhammad, Ibn (son of) Abdullah, Ibn Abdul Muttalib, Ibn Hashim, Ibn
Abd Manaf, Ibn Qusai, Ibn Kilab, a direct descendant of Prophet Ismaèel (Ishmael), son
of, Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), peace be upon them.
45
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, lived for sixty-three lunar years on
earth, twenty-three of them as Allah’s Final and Last Prophet and Messenger. Al-
Bukhari and Muslim (this is al-Bukhari’s narration) reported that the Prophet’s paternal
cousin, Abdullah Ibn Abbas, said, “Allah's Apostle started receiving the Divine
Inspiration at the age of forty. Then he stayed in Makkah for thirteen years, receiving
the Divine Revelation. Then he was ordered to migrate [to Madinah] and he lived as an
Emigrant for ten years and then died at the age of sixty-three.”
46
Since his birth, and for forty years afterwards, Muhammad, peace be upon him,
an honorable member of the most-prominent Arab Tribe, the Quraish, lived the modest
life of a Sheppard54 –in his youth- then worked as a merchant 55. He was unlettered56,
like most of the people of his tribe and the Arabs in general during that era 57. The only
‘education’ of sorts was that he was sent to the desert in his childhood to learn courage,
self-reliance and eloquent Arabic as spoken by the Banu Bakr tribe58. At the age of
twenty-five59, he married Khadeejah, daughter of, Khuwailid, a wealthy and noble
woman from Quraish, after briefly investing her money in a successful business trip he
took to Syria along with her servant, Maisarah60. Muhammad, peace be upon him, was
known to be honest, shy and having a high standard of character. Muhammad’s exalted
standard of character and his reputation as being, ‘al-Amin’, meaning, ‘Trustworthy’,
were the main reasons behind Khadeejah asking him for marriage through some of her
female relatives61. Khadeejah was the first woman whom the Prophet, peace be upon
him, married and the first among his wives to die. The Prophet, peace be upon him,
did not marry any other women while Khadeejah was alive. The Prophet’s marriage
to Khadeejah lasted until he was fifty years old. Al-Bukhari and Muslim collected a
Hadeeth from the Prophet’s wife, Aishah, clearly implying that Khadeejah died three
years before the Prophet’s Migration to Madinah. The Prophet, peace be upon him,
was fifty-three years old when he migrated to Madinah; his marriage to Khadeejah
lasted for twenty-five years.
Years passed during which Muhammad lived a modest life, often going into
seclusion in the mountains of Makkah to contemplate about creation62. He was not
especially noted for having talents or the type of education that would distinguish him
54
[Al-Bukhari reported from Abu Hurairah the Prophet’s statement that he used to tend sheep for some
people in Makkah]
55
[as Ibn Is`haq and other historians reported]

[Al-Quran [Surah (Chapter) 7: Ayah (Verse) 157]: {Those who follow the Messenger, the Prophet who
can neither read nor write (Muhammad, peace be upon him)}.]
57
[Al-Quran [62:2]: {He it is Who sent among the unlettered ones a Messenger (Muhammad, peace be
upon him) from among themselves, reciting to them His Verses, purifying them (from the filth of
disbelief and polytheism), and teaching them the Book (this Qur’ân, Islâmic laws and Islâmic
jurisprudence) and Al- Hikmah (As- Sunnah: legal ways, orders, acts of worship of Prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him). And verily, they had been before in manifest error}.]

[Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was born in 570 CE, also known as Year of the Elephant, in
reference to the failed attempt by Yemen Christians to demolish the Ka`bah at Makkah using elephants;

Al-Kamil fi at-Tarikh, the Prophet’s age upon his marriage to the honorable Khadeejah.]

and so forth]

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim, from Aishah, the Prophet’s wife]
47
from other honorable members of his tribe63. Tribal tradition and close family ties, in
addition to, uncompromising opposition directed at him later on by his own tribe, the
Quraish, would certainly have revealed any further education Muhammad, peace be
upon him, may have had64. Makkah, in Western Arabia, was predominantly a pagan
city; very few of its members were Christian or Jewish. Muhammad, peace be upon
him, never spoke a language other than Arabic.
Repeatedly, and early on in his life, Muhammad, peace be upon him, experienced
the loss of his guardians. He became an orphan on three separate occasions: upon birth,
at the age of six and at the age of eight. His father, Abdullah, died before Muhammad,
peace be upon him, was born; his mother, Aminah, died when he was six years old; his
caretaker and paternal grandfather, Abdul Muttalib, died when he was eight years old.
Prophet Muhammad’s paternal uncle, Abu Talib, then became his guardian, comforter
and staunch supporter, until Abu Talib died more than forty-two years later.
At the age of forty (610 CE), the Revelation (Wa`hy) came to Muhammad, peace
be upon him, carrying with it the Divine Commandment to convey the message to
members of his sub-tribe65. The Islamic era started and the call to Islam began in
Makkah, in secret for three years, then in public for ten more years. Muhammad’s
Prophethood lasted for a total of twenty-three years, until he died in 10 AH (After the
Hijrah)/631 CE), ten years after arriving at Madinah, as Abdullah Ibn Abbas stated66.
During his years as a Prophet, Muhammad, peace be upon him, vigorously
called his people to Monotheism and to reestablishing the religion of their father,
Abraham, the father of both the Arabs and the Children of Israel. His first proclamation
of the Message was a call asserting to Allah as the One and Only Deity worthy of
worship67, and among his last words on earth were instructions on ways and means to
protect Monotheism68. He taught his followers that Monotheism is the Message
professed by every Prophet sent before him69.
63
[Allah said in the Quran, {Say (O Muhammad): “If Allâh had so willed, I would not have recited it
(Quran) to you nor would He have made it known to you. Verily, I have stayed amongst you a lifetime
before this. Have you then no sense?”}]
64
[Allah said in the Quran, {And indeed We know that they (polytheists and pagans) say: “It is only a
human being who teaches him (Muhammad).” The tongue of the man they refer to is foreign, while
this (the Qur’ân) is a clear Arabic tongue}; [16:103].]
65
[Al-Quran, 26:214, states the following, {And warn your tribe (O Muhammad) of near kindred}.]
66
[This is what al-Bukhari and Muslim reported from the Prophet’s paternal cousin, Abdullah Ibn Abbas]

[The English translation of Ibn al-Qayyim’s, Zad-ul Maàd, Vol. 1, Pg., 133-4]
68
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim, respectively, collected the Prophet’s statement that Abdullah Ibn Abbas and
Aishah reported from him wherein he forbade turning graves into places of worship.]
69
[Allah said in the Quran (16:36): {And verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation)
a Messenger (proclaiming): “Worship Allâh (Alone), and avoid (or keep away from) Tâghût (all false
deities)”}. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, never proclaimed a message other than that of
Monotheism called to by every Prophet whom God sent before him. In contrast, no Prophet before Jesus
ever called to Trinity, and Jesus never professed trinity but clear Monotheism. Prophet Moses, peace be
48
These twenty-three years were brief in the long history of the Arab Nation.
However, Muhammad, peace be upon him, was able, by Allah’s Help, to deliver the
Arab Nation from utter division to blessed unity, from obscurity to astounding fame,
from idol-worshipping70 to Monotheism, from rampant theft, continuous infighting,
armed raids, uncontrollable confusion, injustice, sin and unqualified weakness to
building a unique civilization that enriched humanity for more than a millennium. He
transformed the Arabs from the darkness of Polytheism into the light of Monotheism
and Divine Revelation71. The Arabs then transferred this light to many other nations,
upon him, said this in Deuteronomy 6:4, “Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord”, and Prophet
Jesus, peace be upon him, affirmed this Divine Commandment in Mark 12:29, “The first of all the
commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord.” Muhammad, peace be upon him,
attested to the same of what the honorable Prophets Moses and Jesus attested to, that is, “La ilaha illa-
llah”, meaning, “There is no God worthy of worship, except Allah.” Meanwhile, modern-day Christians
cannot seem to agree on such fundamental aspects as the nature of God, even while agreeing on types of
foul, abusive words they can use against Islam, Muslims, the Quran and those who answer their
ridiculous, false claims about Islam. For evidence, just read, and contemplate, this funny exchange
between Craig Winn and Sam Shamoun, another ‘expert’ hater of Islam
(http://www.prophetofdoom.net/one_god.html), &
(http://www.prophetofdoom.net/response_sam0604.html). Is it not fair to simply ask this kind of people
to first agree on what is it their religion is founded on, before they criticize other people’s religions?]

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, destroyed all the idols in and around the Ka`bah in Makkah
and sent army detachments to destroy other idols that belonged to different Arab tribes. Yet, some
Christians utter the hilarious lie that Islam is pagan and that Allah is the Moon God.]

[The Prophet’s paternal cousin, Ja’far Ibn Abi Talib, said to An-Najashi, King of Ethiopia, “O, King! We
were a people of Jahiliyyah (ignorance) before, worshipping idols, eating the meat of dead animals,
committing vice, cutting relations with kith and kin and treating our neighbors badly…the strong among
us used to overwhelm the weak. These evil conditions persisted with us until Allah sent us a Messenger
(Muhammad, peace be upon him) from amongst ourselves, one whose family history and lineage,
truthfulness, honesty and chastity are well known to us. He called us to Allah, so that we attest to His
Oneness and worship Him Alone, while abandoning what we, as well as, our forefathers used to worship
instead of Him -of stones and idols. He also commanded us to be truthful when we speak, give back a
trust to its rightful owners, keep relations with kindred and to be good neighbors. He also commanded us
to avoid all types of vice, bloodshed, sins of all kinds, saying falsehood, eating up the orphan’s property
and spreading false accusations against chaste women. He commanded us to worship Allah Alone and to
avoid associating anything or anyone with Him in worship. He commanded us to pray, give away charity
and fast…We believed him, had faith in him and followed what he was sent with from Allah. Hence, we
worship Allah Alone and avoid falling into Shirk (polytheism) with Him. We also consider illegal what
Allah made illegal and as legal what Allah made legal. Our people transgressed against us, tortured us
and tried to force us to revert from our religion back to worshipping the idols and instead of worshipping
Allah, the Exalted, and back to the evil vices that we used to commit before. When they oppressed us,
committed injustice against us, made life difficult for us and hindered us from freely practicing our
religion, we migrated to your land and chose you above anyone else. We sought to be your neighbors and

which embraced Islam on its own merits by their own choice and without compulsion,
just as Islam enjoins, {There is no compulsion in religion}; [2:256]72.
Establishment of the Islamic State
Thirteen years after the start of the Divine Revelation, Prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him, was forced to migrate from Makkah to Madinah73. The Islamic State
was established and the Prophet, peace be upon him, built its foundation in every
respect. It was a union between religion and state in which the Prophet, peace be upon
him, was the Prophet, legislator by Allah’s Permission, political leader, military
commander, social reformer and passionate educator. He lived the revelation and
established its every practice for his followers. Anas Ibn Malik, the Prophet’s
companion, servant and devout student, described what Muhammad, peace be upon
him, meant to his companions, “When it was the day in which the Messenger of Allah,
peace be upon him, entered Madinah, everything in it became filled with light. When it
was the day in which he died, everything in it became full of darkness.74”
Throughout his prophethood, Muhammad, peace be upon him, endured various
types of oppression, mostly by the hands of his own tribe, the Quraish, including their
desperate attempts to obliterate the new religion using torture, forced conversion and
outright murder75. For thirteen years, the Quraish maintained a system of extreme
hoped that we would not suffer any injustice as long as we live under your authority”; [Ibn Hisham (2:87-
88) collected this `Hadith in his book on the Prophet’s life-story, and also Abu Naìm in his Seerah book,
al-`Hilyah (1:115-116); Al-Albani graded it as authentic in his criticism on the `Hadiths contained in the
contemporary book titled, Fiqhu as-Seerah, by Muhammad al-Ghazali, Pg. 134].
Also, refer to he English translation of Ibn al-Qayyim’s, Zad-ul Maàd, Vol. 1, Pg., 151-6.]
72
[For instance, Indonesia, the largest Muslim state in the world of today, never saw a single Muslim
soldier set foot on its soil. The Indonesians embraced Islam solely on its merits and on witnessing the
outstanding standard of character demonstrated by Muslim merchants who visited that land.]

[In, Holy Wars…Crusades…Jihad, Pg., 125-6, there is this segment, “Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said, in his
book, Zad-ul Maàd fi Hadyi Khairi al-'Ibad, Vol. 3. Pg., 21-22, ‘As for the Prophet’s companions, those
among them who had a tribe, [they] were protected by their tribes. The rest of them were tortured and
tormented by the [Makkan] pagans. Among those who were tortured, because they believed in Allah,
were Àmmar Ibn Yasir, his mother, Sumayyah, and his father, Yasir…Bilal Ibn Raba`h (an Ethiopian
slave) was also tortured severely, because he believed in Allah”…[For more references regarding these
stories, refer to, al-Bidayah wan-Nihayah, by Imam Ibn Kathir; Seerat Ibn Is`haq, by Muhammad Ibn
Is'haq; Seerat Ibn Hisham, by Ibn Hisham; Fiqhu as-Seerah, by Muhammad al-Ghazzali with
commentary by al-Albani; Zad-ul Maàd fi Hadyi Khairi al-Ìbad, Vol. 3, Pg., 21-37; these are a mere few
books among many that contain the autobiography of the Prophet, peace be upon him, and the early era
of Islamic history.” All Muslim historians agree to the fact that Muslims were severely oppressed in
50
oppression in Makkah to extinguish the light of Monotheism so as to protect the idols

they worshipped. They finally plotted to kill the Prophet, who was then forced to
migrate to Madinah76. Soon after the Prophet’s Hijrah (Migration) to Madinah, his
followers who resided in Makkah and other Arab areas also migrated to Madinah to be
welcomed by its inhabitants, the Ansar, who showed noble generosity unsurpassed in
the history of mankind. Mysteriously, Winn ‘distilled’ this part of the history of the
early Islamic era to maintain the elusion that Muslims suddenly, and without
justification, started attacking anyone and everyone. This demonstrates Winn’s
integrity in portraying a religion that he deeply hates yet can barely understand.
It is not possible to completely understand the full scope of the transformation
that occurred in the life of the Arabs by the hands of Muhammad, peace be upon him,
without acquiring knowledge in the status of the Arab Nation before Islam. A short
summary of the conditions that Arabs endured before Islam will soon follow, Allah
willing. One clear example is that before the Prophet, peace be upon him, conquered
Makkah, two years before he died, there were three hundreds and sixty idols 77 littering
the site of the Makkan House of Monotheistic worship built by Prophet Abraham, peace
be upon him. [Using conjecture and their deep hatred of Islam as their ‘evidence’, some
Christians denied the fact that Prophet Abraham built the Ka`bah
(http://www.answering-christianity.com/paran.htm); it seems that they think of
themselves as being closer and more worthy of inheriting the legacy of Abraham than
the Arabs, his own children –just like the children of Israel- or Muhammad, who
resurrected Abraham’s monotheistic faith.] After the Prophet conquered Makkah and
set its people free78, no idol, portrait or image remained around or inside the Ka`bah.
Muhammad, peace be upon him, reestablished Monotheism in Makkah and Arabia,
wherein all acts of worship were dedicated to Allah, the Only Creator and Lord of all
that exists79.
Makkah in the early era of Islam. This fact is also supported by several Quranic Verses, Prophetic
Hadeeths and statements of the early generations of Islam. Therefore, we did not merely rely on Ibn
Is`haq or accounts mentioned by historians to establish this fact, but on Quranic Verses and Hadeeths and
statements established through verifiable, authentic chains of narration.]

[Allah said in the Quran, {And (remember) when the disbelievers plotted against you (O
Muhammad) to imprison you, or to kill you, or to get you out (from your home, i.e. Makkah)}; 8:30.]

[as al-Bukhari and Muslim reported from Abdullah Ibn Masùd]
78
[Even though the Quraish waged relentless war against the Prophet for more than 21 years, when he,
peace be upon him, conquered Makkah, he set them free and they came to be known as, ‘At-Tulaqaa
(those who were set free)’, as Anas Ibn Malik described them in a Hadeeth collected by al-Bukhari and
Muslim from him.]
79
[In, Holy Wars…Crusades…Jihad, Pg., 96, there is this passage, “Deuteronomy 7:5 [states], ‘But thus
shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their
groves, and burn their graven images with fire.’” Oddly enough, the Neo-Conservatives, who claim the
Bible as ‘The Literal Word of God’, never mention the fact that Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,
51
Exposing the Neo-Conservative Fantasy that the Islamic Jihad Started in Madinah
Without Justification
After the Hijrah, two years passed in Madinah before the Prophet, peace be upon
him, was able to militarily confront his combatant tribe in the first major battle between
Muslims and idol-worshippers, the Badr. Muslims decisively won that battle and
established themselves as a force to reckon with in Arabia80. They had been severely
oppressed in Makkah for more than a decade, forced to migrate to Madinah and
witnessed their wealth, homes and the properties they left behind in Makkah being
seized by the pagans and divided among them. For instance, Aqil, son of Abu Talib, the
Prophet’s own paternal cousin, illegally seized the Prophet’s house that he left behind in
Makkah. Yet, when the Prophet, peace be upon him, victoriously entered Makkah,
eight years later, and was asked where he would set his camp, he said, what translated
means, “Did Àqil leave us a house?”81 This is the same Prophet who set free his
combatant tribe of 21 years even after he gained the upper hand against them. This is
the same Prophet whom Winn shamelessly slandered in his terrible book.
Flagrant Hypocrisy If Winn Does Not Condemn This
Compare the exemplary behavior demonstrated by Muhammad, peace be upon

him, to this ‘Divine Commandment’ found in the Torah: Numbers 31, “1. And the Lord
spake unto Moses, saying, 2. Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites...3. And
Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let
them go against the Midianites, and avenge the Lord of Midian...6. And Moses sent
them to the war, a thousand of every tribe...7. And they warred against the Midianites,
as the Lord commanded Moses; and they slew all the males. 8. And they slew the
kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and
Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew
with the sword. 9. And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives,
and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all
their goods. 10. And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their
goodly castles, with fire. 11. And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men
and of beasts. 12. And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto
Moses.”
destroyed the idols and brought Monotheism back among pagan Arabs. They would have loved it had
the idols remained in Arabia until now, so that they can preach ‘monotheistic’ trinity to pagan Arabs.]
80
[Allah said in the Quran, {And Allâh has made you victorious at Badr, when you were a weak little
force}; [3:123].]
81
[as al-Bukhari and Muslim reported from Usamah Ibn Zaid, the Prophet’s grand step-son]
52
Would Craig Winn, an extremist evangelist and bible-thumper, declare the

commandment contained in this passage to be righteous, since his Bible claims it was
issued by God, especially since Christians claim that Jesus is God and that he is
eternal? What is the better example, Muhammad freeing the enemies who fought him
for more than two decades, gathered various pagan armies against him to destroy him
and his religion and killed many of his followers, or the false image of Prophet Moses,
peace be upon him, depicted above? What would the Neos do if someone expelled
them from their homes and land, would they retaliate and try and take back their
property, or would they extend the right cheek to the aggressor to show them how
‘compassionate conservatism’ works? If one uses the pathetic logic of these Neos
that they use against Muslims –when they try to preserve their very existence and
religion- then in this case, the Neos should be branded as terrorists just as they brand
Islam and Muslims whenever they rightfully defend themselves.
Battles the Prophet Led Against Polytheists and Other Disbelievers
As Historian al-Waqidi reported in his, Maghazi, the Prophet’s first Sariyyah

(army detachment not led by the Prophet himself) was dispatched in Ramadhan, seven
months after the Hijrah. Eleven months after the Hijrah, the Prophet led his first
Ghazwah to the area of Abwaa. The major Battle of Badr occurred in the second year of
Hijrah (2 AH/624 CE). The Prophet, peace be upon him, died eight years later during
the month of Rabi` al-Awwal, in the tenth year of his Hijrah (631 CE) at the age of sixty-
three. There were approximately 110 lunar months between the time the Prophet sent
the first army detachment and his death.
During the Madini era, and as Al-Waqidi stated82, “The number of the
Prophet’s battles (Ghazawaat [Pl. for Ghazwah]) that he led himself is twenty-seven,
there was fighting during nine of them: Badr, U`hud, Al-Muraisii`, al-Khandaq,
Quraidhah, Khaibar, al-Fat`h, Hunain and at-Taif. There were also forty-seven
Sariyyah (which the Prophet did not lead himself)…It was reported that there was
fighting during the siege of Banu An-Nadhir…the Ghazwah of Wadi al-Qura…and
the Ghazwah of al-Ghabah, during which six enemy combatants were killed.”
How the Twenty-Three Years of Muhammad’s Prophethood Were Spent
Despite the false image propagated about Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon
him, Jihad was not the only thing he did as one might think from reading for Western
‘experts on Islam’ and modern-day Evangelicals and Jews. There was no fighting in
82
[Al-Maghazi, by Abu Abdullah Ibn Umar al-Waqidi]
53
Makkah, and the Makkan era lasted for thirteen years, as stated above. By the time he
migrated to Madinah, the Prophet, peace be upon him, was fifty-three years old.
During the Makkan era, the Prophet, peace be upon him, was primarily establishing
Monotheism in the hearts of his followers, teaching them the verses of the Quran that
were revealed to him, i.e., the Makki Quran, and the aspects of his Sunnah that he
established for them by Allah’s Commandment, such as manners of Prayer. His time
was divided between congregating with his followers, such as in Dar al-Arqam,
frequently meeting leaders of Quraish and other Arab tribes that came to Makkah for
the Hajj (Pilgrimage season) to call them to Islam, caring for his followers who were
oppressed and fending oppression off of himself83, and traveling to Taif, for instance, to
ask its people for support so that he could deliver the Islamic call without hindrance.
He, peace be upon him, his followers and even the pagans who supported them had to
endure three harsh years of a general boycott that the Quraish strictly observed against
Muslims and their pagan supporters, who were interned in the barren hills of Makkah.
The Madini era lasted for ten years, as previously stated. This is a short
summary of what the Prophet, peace be upon him, was able to accomplish during these
short years by Allah’s Help, Aid and Support.
In Madinah, Muhammad, peace be upon him, received the rest of the Quran,
which is a vast volume of hundreds of pages. The Quran contains 6236 Verses each
called, ‘Ayah (sentence)’ and one hundred and fourteen Surahs (chapters) that comprise
the Quran’s thirty Juzu (parts)84. The Quran, which is entirely in the Arabic Language
and was recorded in its entirety during the lifetime of the Prophet, peace be upon him,
was gradually revealed to him throughout his prophethood, especially towards the end
of his life85. He also taught the Quran’s letter and its interpretation to his companions86.
He, peace be upon him, also laid the foundations for the Islamic State, conducted
peace treaties with the Jewish tribes in Madinah and joined between his followers in a
unique Islamic brotherhood. He also built his Masjid and other Masjids (incorrectly
called, ‘Mosques’), collected the Alms (Zakat) due on the wealth of the rich for the
benefit of the poor, spent the Zakat on the poor and the needy, taught his followers
manners of fasting during the lunar month of Ramadhan, attended funerals and
weddings and taught the Islamic method of funerals and weddings, married several
more wives and taught the code of Islamic conduct and proper dress in addition to
manners of Umrah (visiting the Ka`bah) and `Hajj (Pilgrimage). He taught them

Abdullah Ibn Masùd reported; this Hadeeth is found in al-Bukhari and Muslim]

[as al-Bukhari and Muslim reported from Anas Ibn Malik, the Prophet’s servant and friend]

54
thousands of specific aspects of his Sunnah pertaining to matters of life and religion,
practicing all these aspects himself and staying away from all that was prohibited for
Muslims, as his companions testified. He also received delegations from almost all
Arab tribes and sent teachers to teach Islam to them. He also traveled, got ill, on
average slept seven to eight hours every night and taught manners of Islamic festivals
(the ‘Eeds), how to offer optional prayers at night, hundreds of invocations to recite for
various reasons or in various areas or parts of the day and night, manners of eating and
drinking permissible foods and drinks in addition to teaching the acts of worship to
conduct while traveling. He accepted invitations to meals87, taught the Islamic method
of slaughtering animals and which animals Muslims are allowed to slaughter for meat
consumption, how to use the bathroom, the best method to sleep, manners of married
life and divorce, how to be kind to one’s wife, family and friends and how to raise
children. He established all the economic, social, religious and political systems that
came to be known as ‘Islamic’. He established the rule of Islamic Law, appointed
judges, set limits of the Hudud (Penal Code), and appointed governors and ordered
them to rule with justice. There are thousands of Hadeeths collected in the Bukhari
and Muslim and in the more than 300 other major Islamic resources containing
numerous details of aspects of life and religion that the Prophet, peace be upon him,
established for his followers through his righteous guidance. These reports are
called, ‘The Sunnah’, which pertains to the Prophet’s practices, way, methodology,
guidance and method with which he conducted matters of life and religion.
And of course, Muhammad, peace be upon him, also conducted war and peace,
warring against those who sought to commit aggression against Islam and Muslims
and granting safety to those who sought peace.
Did Muhammad Start Killing Civilians at the Age of Four?
If one reads the shameless claims made by different Evangelical and Jewish
‘experts’ on Islam, one may conclude that Muhammad, peace be upon him,
committed atrocities from the time he was four years old, until he died, that he only
did that and nothing else and that millions of people were killed during his battles.
Surely, the Evangelicals and their supporters do not believe that Muslims, like all
other humans, are entitled to defend their honor, religion, lands, freedom, property and
very existence. Evidence: every act of defense or offense that the Prophet and his
companions led is being described as terroristic, barbaric, genocidal, harsh, and so forth
among the Neo-boring collection of similar words. Just read their books and articles
and listen to their ridiculous talk shows to come to know the truth of my statement
here.

55
“Ramatni bi-Da-iha wa-n-Sallati (She Accused Me of Having the Disease That She
Has and Then Proclaimed Herself Free of it)”
First, let me remind the reader of the statement quoted from Craig Winn in the
beginning of this book, “According to the Hadith and the Qur’an, Muhammad and his
henchmen plundered their way to power and prosperity. And by putting the Qur’an in
chronological order and correlating it with the context of Muhammad’s life as it was
reported in the Sira, Sunnah and Hadith, we also find that Allah mirrored his prophet’s
character.”
Numbers Speak Louder Than a thousand Books of Doom;

Number of Fatalities in All of the Prophet’s Battles Combined
By referring to the popular Islamic history books called, ‘Seerah’, primarily those
referred to by Craig Winn as being, ‘inspired’, one will find that the total number of
people killed during the battles that the Prophet himself led (Ghazawat) was much less
than two thousand; AS IN LESS THAN 2,000; counted battle by battle and rounded up
to the next thousand.
By counting the largest number of combatant casualties reported among non-
Muslims during all of the Prophet’s battles combined, the total number comes to 1239.
By counting the number of Muslim combatant casualties reported during all of the
Prophet’s battles, the number comes to 131. One civilian non-Muslim woman and four
non-combatant Muslim men were reported killed during all these battles that the
Prophet himself led. As for the Saraya, which the Prophet, peace be upon him, did not
lead himself, 2109 non-Muslim combatants and no non-Muslim civilians were killed; 43
Muslim combatants and 124 Muslim non-combatants were killed. Winn is welcome to
contradict this report, especially by relying on the Islamic books he designated as
being, ‘inspired’, and, ‘official’. Winn hid all these facts from his readers, who
should have questioned his outrageous claims or at least sought a second opinion
from Muslims, so as to introduce the healthy habit of asking Muslims about Islam.
If the reader is in doubt as to the number being offered here, I

reiterate the fact that less than 2,000 people were killed during all of the
56
Prophet’s battles combined; not 3,00088, 10,00089, 12,00090, 22,00091, 40,70192,

42,00093, 100,00094, not in the millions95, not 75,00096, 130,00097, 250,00098,
6,000,00099, 31,508,200100, 30,497,000101 or 55,014,000102.
Even by adding the number of all those killed during the Prophet’s battles that he
led himself (Ghazawaat) in addition to the battles led by the commanders of various
armies that he sent but did not himself lead (Saraya), the number of dead combatant
enemies rises to less than 4000; 3348 to be exact (3651 if all non-combatant deaths are

unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out

added to the total). There is no reliable report as to the number of Roman casualties
killed during the Sariyyah of Mu`tah, which the Prophet did not himself lead. I used
the largest, most inflated number mentioned in some obscure historical accounts: two
thousand combatant Roman and Arab Christians. In this unique battle, the Muslim
army of 3,000 soldiers met 250,000 Roman and Arab Christians who could not defeat the
tiny Muslim army during days of fierce battles. Winn is welcome to verify these
numbers using the ‘inspired’ books of Islamic history.
Considerably far fewer number of non-combatants died during all of these
battles combined, including those killed by mistake, those killed in battle by some of the
Prophet’s companions after they had announced their Islamic Faith and a woman whom
the Prophet found dead in one of his battles. The families of those who were killed by
mistake were compensated by the Prophet, peace be upon him103. The Prophet, peace
be upon him, became outraged at some of his companions who, while in battle, killed
some combatant men after they had stated that they were Muslims104. As for the non-
combatant woman who was killed in one of his battles, he, peace be upon him,

ordered that children and women are not to be killed. This is a Hadeeth that al-
Bukhari (2792) and Muslim (3280) collected from Abdullah Ibn Umar. This is a
Hadeeth that has been lost and distilled in the bitter blend that Craig Winn made.
Craig Winn hid all these facts in his horrible blend. I challenge Winn to
disprove what I stated here using the very books that he designated as being,
‘inspired’, and, ‘official’.
The Mother of All Hypocrisies
In comparison, in this era of ‘Compassionate Conservatism’, here is the number

of civilian casualties in the most current compassionate war: more than 12000 Iraqi
civilians died in 17 months of war (http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-
dyn/A37968-2004Sep21?language=printer), which caused catastrophic destruction in
Iraq in the name of freeing Iraqis from tyranny105, and apparently, from life altogether.
As for Afghani civilian casualties, “The number of Afghan civilians killed by US bombs
has surpassed the death toll of the 11 September attacks, according to a study by an
American academic. Nearly 3,800 Afghans died between 7 October and 7 December
[2001], University of New Hampshire Professor Marc Herold said in a research report”;
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/1740538.stm). Yet, the fanatical Neos who
support these merciful wars preach the right cheek dogma to Muslims. Apparently, this
right cheek of theirs extends all the way to Baghdad and Kabul
(http://biblia.com/jesusbible/joshua3b.htm).
The Jihad of the Prophet of Mercy Was Only Directed At Those Who Sought to
Destroy Islam and Kill Muslims
The Prophet of Allah, peace be upon him, never committed unjustified

aggression. He only warred against those who sought to destroy Islam and kill
Muslims, sometimes pre-emptying their treachery before aggression on Islam occurred.
Every one of the Ghazawat and Saraya had a reason behind it. Winn lies. The Neos lie.
105
[Muslims do not forget that for more than a decade, the West supported Saddam Husain, of the
atheist and fiercely anti-Islam ‘Baàth Party’, and provided him with every type of lethal weapon money
can buy, intelligence reports and loans to buy weapons, weapons factories and chemicals used in
manufacturing weapons. They did not raise concerns when he oppressed Islam in Iraq and caused the
death of many thousands of Muslims in his wars. When Saddam grew arrogant, or more powerful than
permitted, the West overthrew him, destroyed Iraq’s infrastructure, killed tens of thousands of civilians
and opened the doors of Iraq to mayhem and types of violence that mostly target Muslims. The West is
now struggling to rebuild Iraq using their taxpayer money. Yet, the West got ‘disappointed’ because the
Arabs, especially the Iraqis, did not appreciate their campaign to free Iraq.]

Returning to the topic under discussion, we assert that Muslims should be

exalted by this aspect of the Prophet’s legacy. Had the Prophet, peace be upon him, not
safeguarded the Islamic State against all enemies, internal and external, the Islamic
State would never have come to existence and Islam would never have been established
as a political entity. This is the mighty past of Islam and Muslims, and Muslims should
never cease feeling delight at its glory and at the superior civilization it granted
mankind. They should never feel ashamed or become defensive towards their Prophet
or any part of his Sunnah.
Yet, Muslims should never condone acts of indiscriminate violence committed by
some Muslims who disobey Muhammad, peace be upon him, and corrupt the true
meaning, aim and methods of Jihad. Anger at the terrible crimes being committed
against Muslims worldwide does not justify breaking Allah’s Law. Allah grants victory
only to those who aid His religion. He does not grant victory to those who disobey His
Law and transgress His Limits. I encourage the reader to acquire and read this book,
Holy Wars…Crusades…Jihad, a 300 page, detailed evidence of almost every aspect of
the Prophet’s Jihad, as well as, the true aims and methods of Jihad and aims not
sanctioned by rightful Jihad.
