Hi everyone and welcome. This is The Apostate Prophet.
I hope you're having a great week
In the 21st century. There have been a lot of myths about the word: "Jihad."
You might have seen the 'My Jihad' campaign
by Muslim activists for example
That wants to tell people that jihad is actually just a struggle in life
Nothing more
Not only are they a deception
They are also greatly un-Islamic
The Quran teaches not to befriend Christians and Jews
And some Muslim girl in America
says that her jihad is "building bridges between people"
Sure, Mohammed would love that
Another myth that is spread nowadays is the notion of the Greater Jihad
Which is the inner struggle with oneself
implying that fighting for Allah is not that important
and that jihad is actually just the struggle in life
By spreading these myths
some moderate Muslims and their helpers are trying to spread the notion
that Islam is only misunderstood
that it is actually nonviolent, and beautiful
Islam teaches us to be beautiful humans
who don't own any weapons
Just care about yourself and others. That's all
Islam is beautiful. Islam is peace
And that's why I'm here because I can't take such lies
If Muslims wanted to come together
and get rid of labels and get rid of hostilities
Then they should at least
Come together first and admit what their Scripture teaches
Or they should come together in to distance themselves from the teachings of Islam
and if they want to come up with their own interpretation of Islam with their own form of Islam
then they shouldn't be fighting Islamophobes
They should be fighting those who are trying to uphold the brutality that islam teaches
The greater Jihad lie, is not something that people came up with in a 21st century.
It comes from unconventional Islamic scripture
Centuries after Muhammad
and it is heavily in contradiction with what Islam actually teaches
Surprise! surprise!
It is a supposed hadith that goes
The Prophet returned from one of his battles and thereupon told us:
"You have arrived with an excellent arrival.
You have come from the Lesser Jihad to the GreaterJihad.
The striving of a servant of Allah against his desires."
So what Muhammad is supposedly saying here
Is that fighting for Allah is a Lesser Jihad
and fighting against your own desires inside yourself is the Greater Jihad
This hadith would be kind of sweet if it was really the word of Muhammad
The problem is it's not
This hadith was written by an 11th century man called Al-Khatib al-Baghdadi
and only picked up by an Ottoman scholar in the 16th century called Muhammad al-Munawi
Trusted Islamic scholars have called this narration weak or directly fabricated
Because: 1. It can't be traced back to any reliable person and no one else spoke of this.
And 2. It is not mentioned in any reliable
hadith book like Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim
or Sunan Abu Dawud
On top of that major Islamic scholars that people still trust today, like Ibn Kathir
have pointed out that al-Baghdadi work is highly doubted
and that it shouldn't be taken as a reliable source
Islamic scholars also believe that it's only a saying and was falsely attributed to Muhammad
So the only source ever that teaches us the greater jihad against ourselves narrative is completely unreliable
and has no basis in Islam
Moreover, the hadith is in complete contradiction with the Quran
and with many authentic hadith that we have
Here's an example of a Quran verse that it contradicts with
Not equal are those believers remaining at home other than the disabled
and the Mujahideen who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives
Allah has preferred the Mujahideen through their wealth and their lives
over those who remain behind by degrees
and to both Allah has promised the best reward but Allah has preferred the Mujahideen
over those who remain behind with a great reward
So in simple words the Quran encourages everyone to fight in the cause of Allah when a fight occurs
And clearly states that those who fight with their wealth
and their lives in the cause of Allah are superior to others
There is also a hadith a very authentic one
Containing Muhammad's words, which proves the greater jihad narrative completely wrong
Now, I don't want to accuse all those moderate Muslim activists
of lying to you and deliberately ignoring their text
Many of them have probably never heard of the hadith
because they know more about cat videos than they know about Islam
But I'm sure there are many who simply ignore the following hadith, because why not?
It was narrated that Amr bin Abasah said: I came to the Prophet and said;
O Messenger of Allah which jihad is best
He said: "that of a man whose blood is shed and his horse is wounded."
So which one is the greatest jihad?
The jihad of someone who goes to war, gets wounded or killed
and has his horse wounded
in today's time, it would be if your tank is damaged. I guess
or whatever of weird vehicle Islamists use
and that source isn't even the end
There are so many of them and none that says the opposite
Look at this beautiful hadith, isn't it wonderful
Isn't it so beautiful?
Look how beautifully Muhammad talked about jihad.
It's so sweet
O God, there is another one. Is this a miracle?
Oh my God, look at how beautiful this hadith is.
It proves entirely that Islam is a complete religion of peace
Isn't dying so beautiful
My jihad is not trying to laugh. What is your jihad?
This is islam
Islam teaches that fighting for Allah is beautiful
That it is everyone's duty
that slaughter gives you immense plus points in heaven
and that martyrs have the highest status in Islam
Sorry, there is just no way around it
Islam is not a beautiful religion where you build bridges between people
And give people a smile when they punch you in the face
and spend your entire life just fixing yourself.
I would love to believe that islam could be this wonderful religion
where people are just so beautiful
So tolerant and being good to others is the best thing to do.
I would love to see muslims in the world come together and follow such a beautiful religion
Unfortunately, that's only a dream
Islam is a political force
that requires you to spend your wealth, your energy and your life
fighting in the way of Allah.
That's what Muhammad preached
That's what followers of his time did
and that's what Islamic States after Muhammad did
In reality
Fundamentalism and religiosity in islam brings intolerance
unrest and no freedom at all
This is why I'm here
because humans are better than Islam and they should realize that
We don't need Islam You don't need Islam
Nobody needs Islam.
