Believe me, you will lose your mind one day—In shaa’ Allah—if you don’t stop using that filthy head of yours to discredit the Qur’an.
I even wonder how you manage to sleep at night. Don’t destroy yourself just because you’re desperate to prove that Islam is false.
I truly pity you.
Please, always let your doctor check your blood pressure. You might just collapse suddenly from all this obsession.
So, in your attempt to prove that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was once an idolater before preaching the Oneness of Allah, you cited the verses from Surah al-Muddathir to support what was never the case:
“O you who is wrapped up [in garments],
Arise and warn!
And magnify your Lord,
And purify your garments,
And abandon ar-rujz (all defilement/idolatry).”
You singled out “and abandon ar-rujz” and claimed it meant he was previously an idolater, which is a ridiculous conclusion.
Philosophers often fool themselves into thinking they are wise.
But let me ask: when are you finally going to declare whether you believe in God or not? Or are you still feeding off the applause of your Christian followers?
I’m waiting for the day you publicly declare Jesus as God.
Believe me, I’m really waiting.
And I’ll make sure to put your so-called philosophical intellect to the test that day.
Now, back to our discussion:
So you think هجر in Arabic only means to abandon something one was previously engaged in?
Alright then—explain the meaning of mahjūrā in this verse:
“And the Messenger will say, ‘O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur’an as something abandoned (mahjūrā).’”
— Surah al-Furqān (25:30)
Who were the people being referred to when this verse was revealed?
Don’t forget—Surah al-Furqān was revealed in Makkah. Don’t try to deny that too.
Let me teach you something, O Malik:
The word هجر can mean “to avoid” (ابتعد عن), “to leave” (ترك), and so on.
So it’s not a necessary condition that avoiding something means one was previously involved in it.
For instance, if I say:
"Yā Mālik, uhjur ar-raṣāṣ!"
“O Malik, avoid the bullet!”
That doesn’t mean the bullet has already struck you. But in your usual foolishness, you might say it implies you’ve been shot before.
You’re such a foolish person.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never worshipped an idol in his life. He never committed fornication, never drank intoxicants, and never engaged in gambling.
Just prove otherwise, boy. Don't gnash your teeth.
His heart was purified and cleansed from these filths since his youth, during his stay among the Banū Sa‘d.
Even the pagans of Makkah knew this about him. No one accused him of abandoning idols he personally worshipped. At most, they accused him of abandoning what their ancestors used to worship.
Here are authentic narrations to support this:
Narrated by Hishām ibn ‘Urwah from his father:
“I heard the Prophet ﷺ say to Khadījah:
‘O Khadījah, by Allah, I do not worship al-Lāt or al-‘Uzzā, nor will I ever worship them.’”
(Musnad Aḥmad)
And in another narration, found in the Musnad of Abū Ya‘lā and others:
Zayd ibn Hārithah (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out with us before Islam. We headed toward a site where idols were kept. A sheep was slaughtered for the idol, and when it was time to eat, the Prophet ﷺ said:
‘I do not eat anything slaughtered for other than Allah.’
So we all left.
There were two brass idols there—Isāf and Nā’ilah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ṭawāf, and I did so with him. When I touched the idols with my hand, he ﷺ said:
‘Do not touch them.’
I repeated ṭawāf and touched them again out of curiosity, and he ﷺ repeated:
‘Didn’t I tell you not to touch them?!’
Then Zayd said:
‘By the One Who honored him and revealed the Book to him, he never once touched an idol until Allah honored him with prophethood.’”
Malik—shame on you, again and again.
