Promotion & perpetuation of plunder are the purposes of Islam. The mission is mercenary and the method is martial. It is difficult to comprehend this fact without sampling the Qur'an & hadith.
8:1. They ask you (O Muhammad ) about the spoils of war. Say: "The spoils are for Allâh and the Messenger." So fear Allâh and adjust all matters of difference among you, and obey Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad ), if you are believers.
8:41. And know that whatever of war-booty that you may gain, verily one-fifth (1/5th) of it is assigned to Allâh, and to the Messenger, and to the near relatives [of the Messenger (Muhammad )], (and also) the orphans, Al-Masâkin (the poor) and the wayfarer, if you have believed in Allâh and in that which We sent down to Our slave (Muhammad ) on the Day of criterion (between right and wrong), the Day when the two forces met (the battle of Badr) - And Allâh is Able to do all things.
If booty is accrued, the top 20% goes to Allah and Moe. How can an impotent stone idol use & enjoy spoils? Who really benefits? Lets get right down to the brass tacks.
8:67. It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allâh desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise.
The highlighted clause and parenthetical explanation taken from tafsir tell us what we need to know about Moe: his motivation is mercenary,. Allah wants genocide, Moe wanted loot. What a sweet couple, lets follow them to Hell. The fatal fact is confirmed by one hadith which M. Muhsin Khan bowdlerized but Aisha Bewley did not.
How did Moe derive his income? What happened to anyone who disobeyed him? Yeah, that's it! How did Allah enrich Moe?
Sahih Bukhari Volume 3, Book 37, Number 495: Narrated Abu Huraira: Whenever a dead man in debt was brought to Allah's Apostle he would ask, "Has he left anything to repay his debt?" If he was informed that he had left something to repay his debts, he would offer his funeral prayer, otherwise he would tell the Muslims to offer their friend's funeral prayer. When Allah made the Prophet wealthy through conquests, he said, "I am more rightful than other believers to be the guardian of the believers, so if a Muslim dies while in debt, I am responsible for the repayment of his debt, and whoever leaves wealth (after his death) it will belong to his heirs. "
Moe's arrogance was unbounded. He said that Allah gave him the keys to the treasures of the world. [Sahih Bukhari 4.52.220] He said that his followers would destroy the Persian & Roman empires and spend their treasures in jihad. [Sahih Bukhari 4.52.267] Plundering had been taboo among the Arabs. How did Moe deal with that taboo? Being Allah's spokesman, he had Allah issue special dispensation.
Sahih Muslim Book 019, Number 4327:
The spoils of war were not made lawful for any people before us, This is because Allah saw our weakness and humility and made
them lawful for us.
The spoils of war were not made lawful for any people before us, This is because Allah saw our weakness and humility and made
them lawful for us.
Allah needed an eagle eye and an electron microscope to see Moe's humility. Sahih Bukhari's Book of Khumus begins with 4.52.324. Scroll through it to find these samples and more.
- I got a she-camel in my share of the war booty on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and the Prophet had given me a she-camel from the Khumus.
- Then some camels as booty were brought to Allah's Apostle and he asked for us saying. 'Where are the group of Al-Ash'ariyun?' Then he ordered that we should be given five camels with white humps.
-
They gained a great number of camels as war booty. The share of each one of them was twelve or eleven camels, and they were given an extra camel each.
- When Allah favored His Apostle with the properties of Hawazin tribe as Fai (booty), he started giving to some Quarries men even up to one-hundred camels each,
33:27. And He caused you to inherit their lands, and their houses, and their riches, and a land which you had not trodden (before). And Allâh is Able to do all things. 48:20. Allâh has promised you abundant spoils that you will capture, and He has hastened for you this, and He has restrained the hands of men from you, that it may be a sign for the believers, and that He may guide you to a Straight Path. 48:21. And other (victories and much booty there are, He promises you) which are not yet within your power, indeed Allâh compasses them, And Allâh is Ever Able to do all things.
