Was Muhammed A Womanizer? - NewBeginning - 01-02-2007
1- Muhammad the Womanizer?
Many anti-Islamics give this false claim against our beloved Prophet peace be upon him. Below is a Noble Verse and its description that insha'Allah (if GOD is willing) will shed some light regarding this issue. This Noble Verse is used a lot by the anti-Islamics to try to prove that Muhammad peace be upon him was a womanizer.
"Thou mayest defer (the turn of) any of them that thou pleasest, and thou mayest receive any thou pleasest: and there is no blame on thee if thou invite one whose (turn) thou hadst set aside. This were nigher to the cooling of their eyes, the prevention of their grief, and their satisfaction - that of all of them - with that which thou hast to give them: and God knows (all) that is in your hearts: and God is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing. (The Noble Quran, 33:51)"
The following Saying is a description for the Noble Verse:
Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: "I felt jealous of the women who offered themselves to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said: Then when Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed this: 'You may defer any one of them you wish, and take to yourself any you wish; and if you desire any you have set aside (no sin is chargeable to you)' (xxxiii. 51), I ('Aisha.) said: It seems to me that your Lord hastens to satisfy your desire. (Translation of Sahih Muslim, The Book of Marriage (Kitab Al-Nikah), Book 008, Number 3453)"
As we clearly see from the Noble Verse and the Narration of our beloved Prophet's wife, Aisha, may Allah Almighty be pleased with her, our Prophet did not seek women. They used to come to offer themselves to him for marriage. Allah Almighty wanted to make it more comfortable for our Prophet by allowing him to choose only the ones that he desired for marriage.
But the point of our Prophet peace be upon him seeking women and divorcing women as he pleased for his own sexual desire is a complete hoax.
Another false criticism against our beloved Prophet peace be upon him is in this narration:
Narrated 'Abdul 'Aziz: "Anas said, 'When Allah's Apostle invaded Khaibar, we offered the Fajr prayer there yearly in the morning) when it was still dark. The Prophet rode and Abu Talha rode too and I was riding behind Abu Talha. The Prophet passed through the lane of Khaibar quickly and my knee was touching the thigh of the Prophet . He uncovered his thigh and I saw the whiteness of the thigh of the Prophet. When he entered the town, he said, 'Allahu Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. Whenever we approach near a (hostile) nation (to fight) then evil will be the morning of those who have been warned.' He repeated this thrice. The people came out for their jobs and some of them said, 'Muhammad (has come).' (Some of our companions added, "With his army.") We conquered Khaibar, took the captives, and the booty was collected. Dihya came and said, 'O Allah's Prophet! Give me a slave girl from the captives.' The Prophet said, 'Go and take any slave girl.' He took Safiya bint Huyai. A man came to the Prophet and said, 'O Allah's Apostles! You gave Safiya bint Huyai to Dihya and she is the chief mistress of the tribes of Quraiza and An-Nadir and she befits none but you.' So the Prophet said, 'Bring him along with her.' So Dihya came with her and when the Prophet saw her, he said to Dihya, 'Take any slave girl other than her from the captives.' Anas added: The Prophet then manumitted her and married her."
Thabit asked Anas, "O Abu Hamza! What did the Prophet pay her (as Mahr)?" He said, "Her self was her Mahr for he manumitted her and then married her." Anas added, "While on the way, Um Sulaim dressed her for marriage (ceremony) and at night she sent her as a bride to the Prophet . So the Prophet was a bridegroom and he said, 'Whoever has anything (food) should bring it.' He spread out a leather sheet (for the food) and some brought dates and others cooking butter. (I think he (Anas) mentioned As-SawTq). So they prepared a dish of Hais (a kind of meal). And that was Walrma (the marriage banquet) of Allah's Apostle." (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Prayers (Salat), Volume 1, Book 8, Number 367)"
In this narration, we clearly see that our beloved Prophet peace be upon him:
1- Had the opportunity to keep the woman, Safiya bint Huyai, as a slave, but instead, he honored her, manumitted her, and married her, and she became his honorable wife instead of his slave.
2- Safiya bint Huyai was chief mistress of the tribes of Quraiza and An-Nadir.
Where do you see our beloved Prophet peace be upon him being a womanizer here?

not trying to be negative, but isnt it alittle hypocritical when you hold others to a certain standard yet not apply those to yourself?

Perhaps you don't understand the last paragraph?
Was Muhammed A Womanizer? - NewBeginning - 01-04-2007
point out in the article where you find the words:
rampage
trash
plundered
best looking girl
Muhammed a hopeless romantic
If you are unable to that, which is obvious you can't..... then go sit down somwhere, next to your curious friend.

those words aren't on my list. :D But thanks for the effort John Doe. What you see in the hadith you quoted is similar to the Bible in which it reads:
<b>numbers 31:15-18</b>
31:15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
31:16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
31:17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
Moses tells the Israelites to kill every male and all the non-virgin females, but to keep the virgins for themselves.
Is it wrong to commit adultery?
31:18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
I believe the hadith is much less violent. Do point out... that the woman was not slaughtered... but he married her.

It's not a "look over there" <i>tactic</i>, but rather a comparison of how life simply "was" thousands of years ago in the desert.
By me pointing out the marriage part... I would like for you to take a moment and remember the laws regarding marriage in Islam. Women in Islam were given more rights than any other woman on Earth in history of man. This woman that was married.... she recieved all those rights. Not simply used and then most likely killed afterwards. So.. taking into account the way of life in those times... I'd say MuHammed was not a womanizer... but in history was instead a hero to women.

Peace be with you, Shaunee :peace:
You're making me work overtime, Darl! I'll have to quit my day job - LOL!
Quote:numbers 31:15-18
Whenever reading the O/T, you must keep in mind that all the events lead up to the coming of Israel's Messiah.
To cut a long story short...
The Midianites (descendents of Abraham & his concubine) were seducing the Israelites to fall into idolatry & intermarriage. Moses instructed his army to spare the female virgin because of their purity. If the Israelites had mated with the unclean Midianites, it would've destroyed the Messianic line. This battle ensured the extermination of the Midianites & prevention of further sin.
God bless.
