Riaz, HERE IS SCIENCE ACCORDING TO 'PROPHET' MUHAMMAD

WHY WAS MUHAMMAD SO SCIENTIFICALLY IGNORANT IF ISLAM WAS ORIGINALLY SCIENTIFIC?

The following utterances of Muhammad typify the actual Islamic 'sciences' as against the recent modern interpolations and misinterpretations made to make Islam look sensible. The old Tafsirs expose Islam's ignorance of science even more, but I have omitted them since they are less authoritative than the sayings of Muhammad himself. All the Tafsirs reveal that the original meanings of the Qur'anic ayahs are completely unscientific. Comparison of tafsirs with the sciences being attributed to the Qur'an and Hadith of late shows that the sciences are Western ideas smuggled into Islam in order to lure gullible and unintelligent Westerners into Islam. Simply ask yourself: If Islam is originally scientific, why was Muhammad completely scientifically ignorant? The following is a sample of what he said:

Sahih Muslim

6707

Abu Haraira reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) took hold of my hands and said: Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, created the clay on Saturday and He created the mountains on Sunday and He created the trees on Monday and He created the things entailing labour on Tuesday and created light on Wednesday and He caused the animals to spread on Thursday and created Adam (peace be upon him) after 'Asr on Friday; the last creation at the last hour of the hours of Friday, i. e. between afternoon and night.

( As you can see my dear Riaz, according to the greatest Muslim scientist, 'Prophet' Muhammad, the clay, the mountains, and trees etc were created before the light was created. Nay, scientist Muhammad implies that God started the creation on Saturday and finished on Friday)

Bukhari:V1B10N510

"Allah's Apostle said, 'If it is very hot, the severity of the heat is from the raging of the Hell Fire.'"

Bukhari:V4B54N484

"I heard the Prophet saying, 'Fever is from the heat of the Hell Fire.'"

Bukhari:V4B55N546

"Allah's Apostle said, 'Gabriel has just now told me of the answer. If a man has sexual intercourse with his wife and gets discharge first, the child will resemble him, and if the woman gets discharge first, the child will resemble her.'"

Bukhari:V4B54N482

"Allah's Apostle said, 'The Hell Fire complained to its Lord saying, "O my Lord! My different parts are eating each other up." So, He allowed it to take two breaths, one in winter, the other in summer. This is the reason for the severe heat and bitter cold you find in weather."

Sahih Muslim:
Abu Hurayra said, the messenger of God said; "Every newborn from the descendants of Adam is touched by Satan when born, and that is why he/she starts by crying. The only exception was Jesus and his mother."

Bukhari:V7B71N643

"I heard the Prophet saying, 'If anyone of you dreams something he dislikes, when you get up, blow thrice on your left.'"

Bukhari:V7B71N673

"Allah's Apostle said, 'If a fly falls in your drink, dip all of it into the cup and then throw it away, for in one of its wings there is a disease and in the other there is healing, an antidote or treatment for that disease.'"

Muslim Arabs got their (modest) sciences from the Greeks and Indians

Arabs got (or plagiarized, to use your judgment) sciences from the Greeks and Indians and translated them into Arabic and localized the processes. The possibly first University (Baith al Hikma or Baith al ilm in Iraq) was not built by religious Arabs just like the few Arabs that contributed in science were mostly not the Islamic types. So, when Islam dominated the Arabs life during the Islamic renaissance, science had to give way as Islam and science are mutually exclusive.

Before you start ranting about algebra, I want you to know that long before Al-Qarizmi was born; there was 'al-gebra' by some other names in the Hammurabi Dynasty. The Kitab al Jabr wal Maqabalat written by al-Qarizmi was more of improvement of already existing concepts. Similarly zero and other numerals were gotten from India. I will say more on these issues if there is need.

So, ... Islam has offered nothing original to humanity except violence, dictatorship and destruction.
