Holy Koran and Slavery ! Slaves – obey the Al-Lah idol or else ! Sura 42
The road to paradise runs through slavery.
by Ferdinand III
Moderate post-modern Marxists maintain that Islam is the perfect embodiment of moderation, love and hope. It is rather curious then that this multi-cultural fetish of Islamic support, ignores the many immoderate aspects of Islamic theology and culture. Over 10% of the Koran discusses slavery, and as anyone who has studied cult behaviour will note, most primitive cults meld violence with slavery into a 'total theory' of both living in, and expanding the cult. Sura 42 or Consultation, is emblematic of this merger of slavery and violence. Over 30% of the text is openly hostile to Unbelievers. A further10% discusses the need to be a perfect slave of Muhammad's family deity, the Al-Lah idol of Mecca:
|
And thus We have sent to you (O Muhammad SAW) Ruhan (an Inspiration, and a Mercy) of Our Command. You knew not what is the Book, nor what is Faith? But We have made it (this Qur'an) a light wherewith We guide whosoever of Our slaves We will. And verily, you (O Muhammad SAW) are indeed guiding (mankind) to the Straight Path (i.e. Allah's religion of Islamic Monotheism). |
Muhammad 'guiding (mankind) to the Straight Path'. The key is to be a good slave of Muhammad and follow the Koran. If you do Al-Lah might reward. Or he might not. Only Al-Lah has free-will, and only Al-Lah will predestined some humans for heaven, and some for the hell-fire.
|
Allah is very Gracious and Kind to His slaves. He gives provisions to whom He wills. And He is the All-Strong, the All-Mighty. |
|
|
That is (the Paradise) whereof Allah gives glad tidings to His slaves who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds. Say (O Muhammad SAW): "No reward do I ask of you for this except to be kind to me for my kinship with you." And whoever earns a good righteous deed, We shall give him an increase of good in respect thereof. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Ready to appreciate (the deeds of those who are obedient to Him). |
|
|
And if Allah were to enlarge the provision for His slaves, they would surely rebel in the earth, but He sends down by measure as He wills. Verily! He is in respect of His slaves, the Well-Aware, the All-Seer (of things that benefit them). |
Paradise for the slaves of the Muhammad-Allah nexus. If you prostrate yourself mindlessly to the diktats of Koranic theology, Al-Lah will 'respect' you as a pious slave of his will. He will be 'oft-forgiving' and 'ready to appreciate' your deeds in this life, as long as you remain 'obedient to Him'. Moslems never elucidate as to what a pious Moslem must be obedient to exactly, except to the totality of the Koran, its 'laws' and stipulations, all based upon a book which does not contain an ethical framework, the Golden Rule, or odes to reason and rationality.
In this chapter only 15 verses out of 53 mark out Unbelievers to be punished for transgressing the 'Allah's' will. This is another central feature of the Koran which marks it out as a cult. Only Allah has will. He leads astray those he wants to lead astray and punish. The human has no will. The human has no individual control over his life; and no need to do anything but obey the Allah - if that is what Allah wants.
|
And whomsoever Allah sends astray, for him there is no Wali (protector) after Him. And you will see the Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, oppressors, etc.) when they behold the torment, they will say: "Is there any way of return (to the world)?" |
|
|
And you will see them brought forward to it (Hell) made humble by disgrace, (and) looking with stealthy glance. And those who believe will say: "Verily, the losers are they who lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Verily, the Zalimun [i.e. Al-Kafirun (disbelievers in Allah, in His Oneness and in His Messenger SAW, polytheists, wrong-doers, etc.)] will be in a lasting torment. |
|
|
And they will have no Auliya' (protectors) to help them other than Allah. And he whom Allah sends astray, for him there is no way. |
|
|
Answer the Call of your Lord (i.e. accept the Islamic Monotheism, O mankind, and jinns) before there comes from Allah a Day which cannot be averted. You will have no refuge on that Day nor there will be for you any denying (of your crimes as they are all recorded in the Book of your deeds). |
Nice. Follow the 'Allah' or else ! No need for complex metaphysics here premised on rationality, the Golden rule, free-will or faith through the use of applied reason. Just obey and shut up. Mindlessly follow and you might be rewarded [42:19,20,23]. Demonize the 'other' and truly believe that the 'Allah' will punish them. This sounds very much like a cult which is of course what Islam is – a merger of violence and enslavement.
