Quran, Response to Shazia

Submitted by Abdullah A. (United States), Sep 28, 2005 at 08:43

Shazia, please consider the following special priviledges to Mohammed from Allah in quran:

-Allah married Mohammed to his adopted son Zaid's beautiful wife Zainab by this revelation:

Q 33.37 Mohammed we have married Zaid's ( Mohammed's adopted son) wife ( breautiful Zainab) to you so that in future there is no problem for men to marry their adopted son's wives

-Allah asked Mohammed to go and enjoy sex with his slave girl Maria (his wife Habsa's maid) and break his promise not to touch her ( made to his wife Habsa)

Q66.1 Why are you denying yourself (sex with slave girl Maria) what we have made halal for you ( sex with slave girls 33.50)

Above incidences have been discussed in much details in Bukhari and Tabari.

I ask Shazia, do you really think that Allah will write about these and similar other goodies for Mohammed , in his only authentic guide for billions of humans and jinns for all places and for all time to come when there were millions of important things he could have given guidance on?
How many men do you know who are seeking guidance on marrying their adopted son's wives or having sex with their wives maids?
