The sayings of Muhammad have been compiled in the Hadith. Muslims consider the Hadith to be sacred in Islam, albeit not quite as important as the Qur’an. They use it as a guide to living a good Muslim life, and to the interpretation of the Qur’an.
The following teachings of Muhammad are in the Hadith:
- Adam (Eve’s husband) was 90 feet tall. “The Prophet said, ‘Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall'” (Volume 4, Book 55, Number 543).”
- If a house fly falls in the drink of anyone of you, he should dip it (in the drink), for one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure for the disease” (Volume 4, Book 54, Number 537).
- The spirits (Jinn) eat bones and animal dung. “What about the bone and the animal dung?” He said, “They are of the food of Jinns” ( Volume 5, Book 58, Number 200).
- Satan may be in your nose. Be sure to practice proper nasal hygiene to dislodge him. “If anyone of you rouses from sleep and performs the ablution, he should wash his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out thrice, because Satan has stayed in the upper part of his nose all the night” (Volume 4, Book 54, Number 516).
- Fevers are caused by the fire of hell. The proper treatment is cold water. “The Prophet said, ‘Fever is from the heat of the (Hell) Fire, so cool it with water'” (Volume 4, Book 54, Number 485).
- Satan may urinate in your ear if you sleep through prayer. “A person was mentioned before the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) and he was told that he had kept on sleeping till morning and had not got up for the prayer. The Prophet said, ‘Satan urinated in his ears'” (Volume 2, Book 21, Number 245).
- When passing through a cemetery, Muhammad knew that one of the dead was in hell because the deceased had gotten urine on himself. “Indeed, one of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine” (Volume 1, Book 4, Number 215).
- While getting your own urine on yourself is terribly sinful, drinking a mixture of camel milk and urine is a good treatment for getting used to a new climate. “Some people of ‘Ukl or ‘Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate did not suit them. So the Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) camels and to drink their milk and urine (as a medicine)” (Volume 1, Book 4, Number 234).
There is no shortage of these silly writings; this is not anywhere near an exhaustive list. These teachings speak for themselves. How can any Muslim believe that Muhammad is a prophet of God after learning of these teachings? Is there any possible defense?
Maybe the saddest saying I ran across was this one: “By Allah, though I am the Apostle of Allah, yet I do not know what Allah will do to me” (Volume 5, Book 58, Number 266). If Muhammad doesn’t know where he’ll spend eternity, no Muslim can. This is a stark contrast with Christianity. The Bible says that we can know for certain that we are born again as children of God (Romans 8:16), and have assurance of eternity in heaven (1 John 5:13).

Hi Bill,
I am very proud to be a Muslim. Just wanted to point out that you have absolutely no right to insult anyone’s religion. I don’t insult any nor Muslims are commanded to. If certain Muslims do so then they are not following Islam properly.
I don’t need to prove to you anything but here are some links which you can go through about the points you have mentioned to insult our Prophet {pbuh}

Ibn Abi Ukhti,
Thanks for your comment.
You said, I “have absolutley no right to insult anyone’s religion.” First of all, I don’t think I insulted Islam. The vast majority of the article is quotes from the Hadith. All I did was call these teachings silly and bizarre. Second of all, I may not have the right in certain Muslim countries to speak freely, however I’m in America, and I have the right to say whatever I want.
In regards to the links you provided, the attempted science is nice, but the real test comes in the obedience of Muslims to the teachings of their prophet. When an insect of some sort gets in your beverage, do you make sure the insect is properly submerged to make sure the antidote gets into your drink?
Is the mixture of camel milk and urine available for purchase to newcomers to Medina or anywhere else?
As a Muslim, what must you do to get to heaven?
Thanks,
Bill

Your article is good. I visited because of a referral from the related posts feature.
I must tell you, however, that, while you appear to be correct about Islam, you have fallen far wide of the mark on Free Masonry. As a Past Master, fluent in the lectures and rituals of the three degrees, I can tell you that the fraternity is not in any way in conflict with Christianity. I have sat in Lodge with several ministers of the Gospel, and many of my brothers are active church going Christians.
I will suggest that you read The Builders by Joseph Fort Newton.

Thanks for your comment and for the website.
I have to disagree about the Free Masonry. The following is taken from: http://www.withoneaccord.org/store/SecretSins.html
I would add that there is only one worshipful being. If you’ve called anything or anyone worshipful other than God, that is idolatry, right?
Thanks,

Thanks,Bill! You are so right about the idolatry part. What makes this even worse is that some of the symbols are very occultic including the goat that is found on their books. To say that Christianity and freemasonry are compatible is to mock God!

Bill, Light, in Masonic terms, is a symbol of learning. The candidate’s signal for admission is explained in the lecture “Ask, and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it will be opened unto you.” “You asked the recommendation of a friend to be made a Mason, through his recommendation, you gained admission, you knocked and it was opened…”.
When the modern fraternity developed in England, education was still relatively rare. Many members gained knowledge of history, science & philosophy by fraternizing with those who were educated.
When my home state was young, its first university was founded with much of the endowment coming from members of the fraternity.
The fraternity retains tradition, and with it, archaic language. The title of Worshipful Master is only a term of respect, not an implication of deity or slave ownership.
Symbolism is a means of conveying a message. In this case, the messages include, brotherly love, relief & truth, fidelity and upright conduct. The square, level and plumb are symbols of morality.
I will recommend a book, “The Clergy and the Craft”, which was written by an ordained minster. Forrest D. Haggard, D.D.. It may be in a library near you, search here:

Dajjal,
In the Masonic Lodge, you’re seeking strictly secular knowledge, and not any type of spiritual knowledge? Why do they quote Jesus’ words (ask, seek, knock) if you’re speaking strictly of secular knowledge? Do you think Jesus was speaking about admission into a club or book learning when he said those words?
Gnosticism, which Paul preaches against in Colossians and other books, is a religion where the purpose is to gain knowledge, and by doing so you can attain salvation. The Masonic Lodge is warmed-over gnosticism.
Your defense on this point is dependent on the knowledge being sought being strictly secular. I think that’s a tenuous position, since the Masons throw in so many religious themes.
As far as the term “worshipful” goes, the King James version was translated in 1611, and in Matthew 4:10, Jesus says that we should worship only the Lord God. So for at least 400 years, Christians have believed that the only worshipful master is the Lord. Do you believe that the Masonic lingo pre-dates 1611, and at some point the word “worship” had some other meaning? As far as I’m concerned, that’s a very bold claim. Even if that were true, is it really acceptable to your conscience to call someone other than God worshipful today since we’re not speaking ancient English, but modern English? Do you think referring to someone besides God as worshipful is all right if it’s done for fun?
Thanks,
Bill

Bill, try reading The Clergy and the Craft. We do not worship the Master as we worship God, its a term of respect, not obeisance.
Belief in a supreme being is one of the requirements for admission to the fraternity. Belief in one specific deity is not. While most Masons are Christian, there are some Jews and Muslims in the fraternity.

Dajjal,
When you call someone worshipful, you’re giving them a title that is reserved for God alone. I realize you’re not actually bowing down or worshiping any god at the Masonic Lodge. I would say it is not a term of respect, but blasphemy.
I really think you should leave the lodge. You’re not going to stand before God and point out that there were other Christians involved. “Everyone does it” is not an excuse that will work before the Holy Judge.
Thanks,
Bill
