Hi everyone and welcome, this is the Apostate Prophet,
Last weekend I was sitting at the barber and we talked a lot about religion and how Islam
is worse than the others.
That’s probably why he cut my hair this way and made me look like a Syrian refugee
who is also a Nazi.
You could also say that I have an egg instead of a head, that’s fine.
Whatever you find funny.
Anyway, I’m going to talk about something serious.
JIHAD Why am I talking about this?
Yes, because (moderate) Muslim apologists and their allies in the West keep telling
people that it is totally misunderstood, that jihad means only inner struggle and striving.
Some are a tiny bit more honest and admit that it also stands for fighting in the way
of Islam and Allah, but then they lie again and say that the purpose is only self-defense.
If you have a look at the early spread of Islam, you must be pretty stupid to believe
that, but some in the West just accept baseless claims by Muslims, because the poor Muslims
are oppressed by the evil white man.
It really is no debate that requires much intelligence and wisdom, but I’ll step on
this side of the discussion anyway.
Let’s talk about the meaning first The term jihad comes from the word for struggle
or effort.
That means that people who claim it’s just struggle are not entirely wrong.
The word is indeed struggle and effort, but that’s not it.
Of course you can just take the literal meaning of the word jihad and reject any kind of factual
criticism of the concept of Islamic holy war, but that would be ugly and dishonest.
The term stands for much more than what a totally stupid campaign once claimed it does.
The word “Jihad” is used in the Quran 34 times in different forms in 30 verses,
and is used almost in all cases in terms of physically fighting for Allah or helping the
cause of Allah with their wealth.
In some verses the word is a generalization of jihad which can mean fighting or proselytizing,
in some cases, in the minority of cases it is just about being faithful and patient.
If we look at some examples where the word is used, we can pick the following:
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 (those who make Jihad) 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
- This is chapter 4 verse 95
Another example: Chapter 61 verse 11 is: [It is that] you believe in Allah and His
Messenger and strive in the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives.
That is best for you, if you should know.
Another example of jihad in the sense of fighting is:
O Prophet, fight against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh upon them.
And their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the destination.
And a final example is: The ones who have believed, emigrated and
striven in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives are greater in rank in the
sight of Allah . And it is those who are the attainers [of success].
All these verses that I just took as an example, are examples where the word jihad is literally
used for fighting in the cause of Allah.
So, the word jihad is used in the Quran, the most important book, the source of Islam,
as fighting in the way of Allah, and yet we have (moderate) Muslims and self-loathing
people in the West who want to tell us a different narrative, even though the scholarly consensus
in Islam is very clear: Jihad is fighting in the way of Allah.
If you want to look at some other examples we can look at the Quran and see how this
jihad was ordered in practice: I’d begin with what I think is the most
horrible Quran verse: Chapter 5 Verse 33 Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war
against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but
that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides
or that they be exiled from the land.
That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment,
This is the most horrible verse in the Quran to read for me.
It is disgusting In verse 5 of chapter 9 there is another example
that we can look at.
It is: And when the sacred months have passed, then
kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit
in wait for them at every place of ambush.
But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way.
Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
So the polytheists are to be killed in this case unless they convert to Islam.
Another example is in chapter 9 again, verse 29:
Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful
what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth
from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while
they are humbled.
This is one of my favorite verses btw.
Another example is chapter 2 verse 244.
It says: And fight in the cause of Allah and know that
Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
And finally, chapter 4:101: And when you travel throughout the land, there
is no blame upon you for shortening the prayer, [especially] if you fear that those who disbelieve
may disrupt [or attack] you.
Indeed, the disbelievers are ever to you a clear enemy.
This verse actually says that disbelieving makes you a “clear” enemy according to
Islam.
The word used in this Quran verse is kaffara and is a general term for all those who disbelieve,
it has little to do with historical context.
Yes, it is very clear.
Jihad means striving and struggling, but in the Islamic context, in the Quran, it is vastly
used as fighting in the cause of Allah, there shouldn’t even be a discussion about this.
In the Islamic sense, jihad means fighting for Allah.
If you want to have a short look at what making jihad an obligation for believers can cause,
you can again look at this map: The early conquests and the spread of Islam.
It is very clear.
At this point we have not talked about whether war is always or mostly offensive or defensive
in Islam.
That’s another point where people tell us baseless stories to deceive the caring Western
person, but I want to save that topic for another video.
I think this is enough for now.
Oh, before I let you go.
When we talk about Jihad, of course there is also the obvious that we need to talk about.
Related to jihad is: 72 Virgins
Virgins, according to the Quran, are full breasted women, created by Allah only for
the pleasure of those Muslims who enter paradise.
The Quran describes them as follows: Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise
in a [new] creation And made them virgins,
Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age, For the companions of those who are right,
In another part of the Quran it says: Indeed, for the righteous is attainment -
Gardens and grapevines And full-breasted [companions] of equal age
And a full cup.
No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -
Bababa...
So the Quran promises sex-slaves.
Here is also a hadith that says that every believer will have 2 virgins in heaven.
Narrated by Abu Huraira The Prophet said, "The first batch (of people)
who will enter Paradise will be (glittering) like the full moon, and the batch next to
them will be (glittering) like the most brilliant star in the sky.
Their hearts will be as if the heart of a single man, for they will have neither enmity
nor jealousy amongst themselves; everyone will have two wives from the houris, (who
will be so beautiful, pure and transparent that) the marrow of the bones of their legs
will be seen through the bones and the flesh."
What nice fantasy, isn't it?
But that's not enough.
2 Virgins for every Muslim is not all.
Martyrs in the way of Allah, those people who make jihad and fight in the cause of Allah
will have more.
The authenticity of 72 virgins is often argued, but here is a hadith that many moderate Muslims
want to ignore.
The following hadith has been accepted by Islamic scholars as a “strong evidence”:
the Messenger of Allah said: "There are six things with Allah for the martyr.
He is forgiven with the first flow of blood (he suffers), he is shown his place in Paradise,
he is protected from punishment in the grave, secured from the greatest terror, the crown
of dignity is placed upon his head - and its gems are better than the world and what is
in it - he is married to seventy two wives along Al-Huril-'Ayn of Paradise, and he may
intercede for seventy of his close relatives."
The important part here is that the martyr is married to seventy two wives in paradise
So, whatever you might hear from some “moderate Muslims” or others, the 72 virgins deal
is real.
It exists in Islam.
It is not a silly mocking campaign by hateful Islamophobes like myself.
And I will make a video about this very specific topic and I will discuss it much wider than
here.
I know, I left Islam, but I made sure before I left Islam, that I will still have the 72
virgins in heaven.
In case I died in anyway for the cause of Allah or against, I don’t know.
To be very serious, if men need to be promised sex slaves in heaven in order to believe in
this religion, if believers are told that they should fight physically for the cause
of Allah in order to receive 72 virgins in heaven, then there is something terribly wrong
with this religion.
To say it in other words, I want to quote Bill Maher beautifully.
He said: Promising pussy in heaven is the lowest thing I’ve ever heard.
[Chuckles Islamophobically] So, please everyone, if you see this, if you
watch this, if you hear me please hear my voice.
Don’t do jihad, don’t wish for sex slaves.
Stay away from Islam!
