EXAMPLES OF THE PROPHET’S SAYINGS

Art. #15:  EXAMPLES OF THE PROPHET’S SAYINGS:

“God has no mercy on one who has no mercy for others.”

“None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself.”

“He, who eats his fill while his neighbor goes without food is not a believer.”

“The truthful and trusted is associated with the prophets, the saints and the martyrs.”

“Powerful is not he who knocks the other down, indeed powerful is he who controls himself in a fit of anger.”

“God does not judge according to your bodies and appearances but He scans your hearts and looks into your deeds.” 

“A man walking along a path felt very thirsty.  Reaching a well he descended into it, drank his fill and came up.  Then, he saw a dog with its tongue hanging out, trying to lick up mud to quench its thirst.  The man saw that the dog was feeling the same thirst as he had felt so he went down into the well again and filled his shoe with water and gave the dog a drink. God forgave his sins for this action.”  The Prophet was asked: 'Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?'  He said, “There is a reward for kindness to every living thing.” 

REBUTTAL:  Note that all of the above sayings are Hadiths, not from the Koran.  Below are some “divine” revelations from the Koran, and a few from the Hadith, not so benevolent in nature.   

“When we decide to destroy a population, we send a definite order to those among them who are given the good things of this life and yet transgress, so that the word (Allah’s / Muhammad’s) word is proved true against them; then we destroy them utterly.” (17:16) Note: The “transgression” is not being Muslim and having something they covet!

“I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, smite ye above their necks and smite all their fingertips off them.” (8:12)

“Fight those who do not profess the true faith (Islam) till they pay the jizya (poll tax) with the hand of humility.” (9:29)
 
"Therefore, when ye meet the unbelievers, smite at their necks; at length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly on them; thereafter is the time for either generosity or ransom; until the war lays down its burdens.  Thus are ye commanded: but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from him Himself; but He lets you fight in order to test you, some with others.  But those that are slain in the name of Allah -- He will never let their deeds be lost.  Soon will He guide them and improve their condition, and admit them to The Garden (Heaven) which He has announced for them." (47:4-6)
 
"But when the forbidden months have passed, then fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them, in every strategem of war." (9:5) 

"Allah guarantees that He will admit the Mujahid (Allah's warriors) in His cause into Paradise if killed, otherwise He will return him to his home safely with rewards and war booty." (Hadith) 

"And how many populations we destroyed, which exulted in their life of ease and plenty!  Now those habitations of theirs, after them are deserted--all but a miserable few!  And we are their heirs!" (28:58)
