Zayd, the adopted son of Muhammad

Others lives should not matter to us, let each person live their own. Muhammad marrying his adopted sons ex wife, even if Zayd was 10 years younger, is a bad action by Muhammad.

In those days, they criticized Muhammad for marrying his adopted son.  

Now in 2021, we are still criticizing the prophet.  

I ask you, let us say, you adopted a son, he was 10 years younger than you.  Your adopted son, married, then divorced.  That lady that your adopted son married is now your daughter in law.  

Even after she divorces your adopted son, it is best not to marry her.  Am I I right this far? 

If you say, “look man, if my adopted son is ok, with me marrying his ex wife, I would marry her,” well your morale and mine are different.  

I would not, as my adopted son is still my son. He would be my son. And any ex wife of his, would still be a delicate matter and it would be best to stay away from that ex wife. It would be best to not only Zayd or Muhammad, but just for the entire family.  

This action by Muhammad is not defendable, but many try.   

Bad is bad, then or now.  

Because of this bad action by Muhammad, I’m very upset and sad at him, I lost my love for my religion, he should have known better not to marry his daughter-in-law, but he did not.  

Plus, there is the issue of, how a verse from the Quran miraculously come down to say, it is ok now to marry your adopted son’s ex wife? 

Please do some research.  

Take care, may Allah help you.

Zaynab, the daughter-in-law of Muhammad

Why argue back to me by stating, “if three of them are happy, why are you objecting. “

(Three of them - Zayd, Zaynab, and Muhammad).  

Let us focus on the action of Muhammad.  

Stick to this action only please.  

Don’t argue around by writing, “if certain places did not allow cousins to marry, that place would fizzle away.” No 

Stick to Muhammad marrying his adopted son’s ex wife. 

This is an important matter as it affects me and you, since he is our prophet. A prophet that supposedly knows best.  

I ask you, was Zayd Muhammad’s son in law? Adopted or not. I’ll answer - yes. 

Was Zaynab Muhammad’s daughter-in-law? Yes. 

Did Muhammad marry his daughter-in-law? Yes. 

Is this morally a bad action. Yes. 

Is this ayip, then or now. Yes. 

I donot care that Muhammad and Zaynab were happy or not, as you state that, “if they are happy, why am I criticizing this.” I’m criticizing this as it is a bad action. My prophet should know better not to marry his adopted son’s ex wife. 

Stop defending a bad action.  

Stop trying to justify it.  

This is what you need to do, as I did this. 

Go into a quiet room. Close your eyes. Picture in your mind how our prophet married his adopted son’s ex wife and if your truly honest with yourself, you will cry at how bad this makes my religion look.  

Again, may Allah help all of us, as I feel deceived by Muhammad.  

Go marry someone else, were there not other woman for Muhammad? Yes there were, he had another 8 wives already. Why marry Zaynab? If your going to retort to say, “he married for political reasons,” well bud, I have a ready answer for that too. 

This is the summary, Muhammad should not have married his daughter-in-law.  

Period, thank you. 

Did Muhammad marry his daughter-in-law?

 Case closed 😁😁😁 Not. 

A couple of wrongs.  

I’m not the only one that is criticizing the prophet for marrying his adopted son’s ex wife. The people living in the prophets time, critiqued the prophet very heavily for marrying his adopted son’s ex wife.  Please do more research.  

It was not a common practice to marry ones daughter in law in those times. Actually, no person but the prophet did this, in his time. Don’t argue back to state to me that it was a common practice, it was not. This action had nothing to do with Arabia, Islam, or Cahiliye time.  No other person married his daughter-in-law in those times. 

The prophet got very heavy criticism for marrying his daughter-in-law, therefore what happened? Miraculously, an ayet came down to say, it is ok to marry Zaynab since Zayd was not the biological son, and adopted son, therefore, Zaynab was not the daughter in law.

How convenient.

If you think that the prophet marrying his adopted son’s ex wife, was ok, because, hey, since Zayd was adopted, he can marry Zayd’s ex wife.  Then good on you bud. You choose to not see the wrong in this action, well, not much to say to you.

You don’t see the problem here do you? 

Your argument concludes this, you would not marry your biological sons ex wife, since she is your daughter in law.  I’m hoping you would not. 

But you would marry your adopted son’s ex wife, since the son is adopted, you would.  Do you see the wrong in this? as your answer should be, not to marry your daughter-in-law, adopted or not, don’t marry your daughter-in-law.  

Muhammad should not have either, him marrying his daughter-in-law has no good explanation to humanity, could it be only for his own desire? 

Last comment about Zayd. I’m saddened about Zayd. It was not his choosing to drop his last name of Muhammad - Zayd, the son of Muhammad. He was forced by Muhammad to drop his last name to be known no longer as the son of Muhammad. This is terrible. Look at it from Zayd’s point of view.  

He has to drop his last name, a name he had for over 20 years.

He sees his adopted father marry his ex wife, a wife he had for 2.5 years.  

He grew up in the home of Muhammad and Hatice, to be banished from their home, their will, and the family of Muhammad.   

I ask you why was Muhammad marrying his adopted son’s ex wife have any good to common society, to humanity, to family affairs; absolutely nothing.  

Please, please, please, do research.  

Take care bud, thank tou. 

Future Generation

Future Generation 

I came by the below YouTube video which shows a mischievous reporter asking teenagers and young adults about a certain subject matter. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWernyXJezE

I was not very happy about the video as it showed the future generation as ignorant and stupid.  However, I would like to step forward and try to support and explain about these young adults in this video by writing the following:

Young adults do not vote, 

Young adults do not watch the news,

Young adults drink and party on a Friday night,

(I must add the following "most young adults" to the above sentences)

I mention Friday night since in the video it looks like the reporter is walking around on a Friday night asking questions to these kids/students/teenagers who are clearly intoxicated, on a subject matter that they do not care for.  

This is not the right question Mr Reporter should be asking...

Ask these young adults what Tom Cruise's (or Brad Pitt's) pet hamsters name is, and they will know that since they are focused on information that is not relevant to some, but important to them...

Unfair to the teenagers/young adults here. 

What do you think? Am I on to something here? 

Thank you, 

Ben

Being a Muslim in Angola

Being Muslim in Angola

Some of us may have read recently that the country of Angola has outright banned Islam and that it is now illegal to be a Muslim in this Southern African nation.  

This is not true.

The news has been spreading fast, however, we need to not believe everything that is written or stated in the media.  We need to fact-check and confirm a news by means of further investigation.  

The story was printed days ago by a Moroccan newspaper called ‘La Nouvelle Tribune’.  The newspaper stated that the governor of Luanda had spoken against 'radical Muslims' and stated that they are not welcome in Angola.  It then quoted Angolan politician Roza Cruz de Silva, stating that Islam has not yet been approved by the Angolan Ministry of Justice and Human Rights. 

The statement about 'Islam' not being recognized is not something new but has always been the case.  This is an interesting fact that not many will know, but many European countries such as Italy, France and Belgium also do not recognize 'Islam' at an official level.  It does not mean that the religion is illegal or that it is banned.

What happened after the initial story broke out from Morocco, however is where we see the dangers of spreading unverified information.  Many articles in different papers around the world were claiming that Islam had been banned in Angola, and that mosques were ordered to be destroyed, and that being a Muslim was now illegal. 

After doing some checking, it has been made clear that Angolan politician Roza Cruz de Silva was speaking about a few Muslim groups who were on the list of proscribed religious groups that would not be allowed to operate mosques, some of which were built without permits.  The list contains 194 groups from all religions, yet only a few are Muslims.  So it was not true that all mosques would be closed, nor is Islam ‘illegal’ in Angola.

Just wanted to clarify this 'news' to people that want the 'truth'. 

Thank you for visiting,
