Islam 101: Do not Question the Religion
Sure we see some Muslims say that they are against “terrorism”, which they never really define. But have you ever seen many Muslims actually condemn the Islamic scriptures, or Mohammad? I have not, and the reason is that the Islamic scriptures warn them not to.
The Koran warns Muslims not to ask too many questions.
005.101
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. But if ye ask about things when the Qur’an is being revealed, they will be made plain to you, Allah will forgive those: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.
If Muslims do ask too many questions, the Koran states that they have lost their faith.
005.102
YUSUFALI: Some people before you did ask such questions, and on that account lost their faith.
Now I will take this a step further, to lose one’s faith is to apostate from Islam, and under Islamic Law this can be a death sentence. The “Reliance of the Traveller, A Classic Manual of Islamic Scared Law”, teaches us that even denying a Koran verse is to apostate from Islam, and apostates should be killed.
Justice: Apostasy from Islam
ACTS THAT ENTAIL LEAVING ISLAM
(7) to deny any verse of the Koran or anything which by scholarly consensus (def: b7) belongs to it, or to add a verse that does not belong to it:
Justice: Apostasy from Islam
o8.1 When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed.
o8.4 There is no indemnity for killing an apostate (O: or any expiation, since it is killing someone who deserves to die)
For the record, “The Reliance of the Traveller”, has the stamp of approval from Al Azhar, the highest Islamic learning school in the world.
Now I will point out in the ahadith were it states not to question the religion, and questioning overall is not encouraged.
From the Bukhari hadith, we can see that Mohammad did not like to be questioned.
Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet was asked about things which he did not like, but when the questioners insisted, the Prophet got angry. He then said to the people, “Ask me anything you like.” A man asked, “Who is my father?” The Prophet replied, “Your father is Hudhafa.” Then another man got up and said, “Who is my father, O Allah’s Apostle ?” He replied, “Your father is Salim, Maula (the freed slave) of Shaiba.” So when ‘Umar saw that (the anger) on the face of the Prophet he said, “O Allah’s Apostle! We repent to Allah (Our offending you).”
From Bukhari volume 2, we see the same pattern.
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 555:
Narrated Ash-sha’bi:The clerk of Al-Mughira bin Shu’ba narrated, “Muawiya wrote to Al-Mughira bin Shu’ba: Write to me something which you have heard from the Prophet (p.b.u.h) .” So Al-Mughira wrote: I heard the Prophet saying, “Allah has hated for you three things:
1. Vain talks, (useless talk) that you talk too much or about others.
2. Wasting of wealth (by extravagance)
3. And asking too many questions (in disputed religious matters) or asking others for something (except in great need). (See Hadith No. 591, Vol. Ill)
Here is volume 3 verse 591.
Narrated Al-Mughira bin Shu’ba:
The Prophet said, “Allah has forbidden for you, (1) to be undutiful to your mothers, (2) to bury your daughters alive, (3) to not to pay the rights of the others (e.g. charity, etc.) and (4) to beg of men (begging). And Allah has hated for you (1) vain, useless talk, or that you talk too much about others, (2) to ask too many questions, (in disputed religious matters) and (3) to waste the wealth (by extravagance).
Finally the Koran states that Mohammad’s actions are to be followed for all time.
033.021
YUSUFALI: Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah.
If anyone is waiting for the Islamic world to tear apart the Islamic scriptures, and condemn the actions of Mohammad, they are only fooling themselves. “Moderate” Islam is not coming to the rescue, and it will be our way of life or theirs. Take a side, the freedom of our families future generations is depending on us.
Good article!
What we call "terrorism," Muslims call 'struggle.' That's how Muslims can say that Islam condemns terrorism. They consider them 'freedom fighters' (mujahidin), not terrorists.
Thank you sir.
That is ALWAYS the case. Muslims have the "built in" excuse book.
They have an answer for everything.
And they just love playing the victim.
They push, push, and push, then they whip out the victim card. Rinse and repeat.
Should we be surprised that one of the tactics used in brain washing is the warning not to question authority – in this case, islam?
Playing the victim is Taqiyya – just another tactic used against us trusting souls who are accustomed to speaking and hearing the truth. Muslims know this and use it against us, laughing all the way.

THe call to desist from questioning the tenents of Islam is probably the wisest decision that the founder of Islam has ever made. Indeed, If a Muslim were ever to question his religion he or she would be sure to discover that Mohammed, may shit be upon him, was a demented Arab who never intended to propagate anything resembling a god. How could he when terrorism was his bread and butter
"Mohammed, may shit be upon him,"
I still can't understand: why did this man, Mohammed, who was so violent during his lifetime want peace bestowed on him by all and sundry forever?
"Whoever insults the prophet, kill him."
You cannot question islam, it is everything…
Thank you. I will use some of this in my paper for school!
The practices of Muslims during the Hajj existed in pre-Islamic Arabian paganism. The Kaaba (built approx 990-1000 BC); the meteor stone; the circumambulation of the Kaaba (seven times); Ramadhan; the Zamzam water; the wearing of the ihram (white clothes); throwing of stones to ward off evil jinn; the Saii; praying times a day; the cresent moon symbol; and a host of other practices and symbols preexisted Islam in pagan Arabia. Islam is just repackaged paganism, and these facts are what most Muslims don't want the world to find out about their demon inspired religion. Too late!!!
Islam has to be the most authoritarian system of governance today.
Good writing Logan.
Keep up the good word bruh. We have got to keep reaching out to more, and more people. Ya know. I have met a coupe of arabs. I think that they could be fun, helpful, and reliable friends if not for that stinking muhammad.
Thanks and the same to you!
Nice!
They are simply consumed by their own doctrines… Blindness and darkness have been covering their mind. That's all!
Our leaders need to come to terms with this, and realize that the infidel does not get to dictate to Muslims what Islam is. This "moderate" Islam is coming to the rescue fantasy is not happening.
Thanks for the comments!
“Moderate islam” is a non-entity in the world of muslim fanatics. They are totally intimidates by the radicals.
We are friends there as well.
‘Taqlid’ is ‘blind following’ in Islam. It means accepting the word of mullahs without asking for the evidence.
As we see with these Koranic verses, it is a sin to ask ‘too many’ questions about Islam. The way this Divine Command is enforced is by murder and threats of murder. All Muslims are allowed to carry out the sentence as vigilantes.
It is clear Mohammed was a cult leader and new independent investigation of his purported revelations and their relation to the Hebrew and Christian scriptures would lead to the discover of plagiarism, fabrication and intentional deception, thus destroying Mohammed’s credibility. Many verses like this are suspected to have been introduced at a later time by the Caliphs who desired to maintain a grip on their gullible followers and allow their easier manipulation in the service of the Caliphs’ absolute despotism.
Welcome to the site Morgan, and thank you for your comment.
BTW, great site, Christopher – lotta good info here! Thanks for your diligence in gathering all this!
Hi Hollis,
Thanks for the kind words!
actually it doesn’t matter what Religion you may have, as long as you treat the other person right.:”,
this is complete craziness you are misinterpreting what islam truly said. You should respect all religions this is wrong. The Qur’an has the answer to all questions that Muslims ask. Please do better research and do not insult the millions of muslims around the world with your ignorance.
Then come back, and prove your claim. Islam deserves as much respect as Nazism did.
Well… I see that this page is entirely anti-islamic, so there is probably no use to put some words trying to defend it. But I would like to express my feeling that one-sided discussion is not really helping your cause. Well, you might support yourself with islamophobes. There is surely a lot for them to listen in your articles. But if you present it to a person who asks questions, well… they will ask questions.
One of my questions is, when you say the muslims are not supposed to ask questions, why there are parts of Quran specifically saying: “They ask you: … Answer: …”? The Quran itself is a book of Q&A created by early muslims on one side and Mohammed/God on the other. That is just one question, but there are others like why muslims asctually ask questions about their religion and it is considered to be correct according to Islam. All your examples also say, do not ask to many questions, so questions are not banned completely …
I do not know, but when I read speach of a person ordering in 7th century AC to be respectful to ones mothers, do not kill newborn girls or pay charity, I cannot logically condemn the whole idea just because of several lines obviously picked out of context.
I do not sympathise with the terrorism or medieval practices anywhere around the world being it in China, Kongo, Afghanistan or USA. I agree that killing someone for questioning the religion/ideology is leading to really bad end. Like when Americans who forget to ask about eugenism and happily funded early Nazi’s research resulting in craziness of WWII. (i.e. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_eugenics) Note: Please do not take this as an attack to your country, but as an example that I agree with your opinion that forgetting to ask questions is not really a good idea.
In conclusion, your very strict viewpoint seems to lack a lot of input from the other side – which in fact seems interesting judging on the parts you posted here. Your site is good in terms of bringing the islamic evidence to support your view, but gives to subjective answers.
Prove that I have taken the verses out of context. Yes they can ask questions, but there is a limit.
