1 “In the beginning was the worst and the worst grew more worst because of how Aminah bint Wahab told the story. For it was alright to tell people that her husband, my brother Abdullah bin Mutalib was the most handsome man in town but to say that a blue light was emitted somewhere from around her womb when she gave birth to Qasim, or who we know today as the prophet Muhammad, is worst. But to tell others that he was born already circumcised and that the umbilical cord was already cut is far worst. If I knew that she said that I would give her a whacking for that is an embarrassment to us. How do I know this? Of course, I would know because I was the one who circumcised him myself when he was seven years old.”-Narrated by Ibn Mutalib to his daughter Fakitha bint Abi Talib. (Singh recommends Roy Lee Johnson’s “Mr. Moonlight” by Dr. Feelgood and the Interns, 1965 and also Lucio San Pedro and Levi Celerio’s “Sa Ugoy ng Duyan”, by Aurelio Estanislao and Evelyn Mandac,1956 -Ed.)
2 Narrated by Ibn Mutalib to his daughter Hint bin Abi Talib: ”Jamila, the wet nurse suddenly came with your cousin Muhammad when he was four for she would like to return him to his mother. She told her the story that the boy was suddenly taken by two men which he identified as angels and they opened his chest, took out his heart and washed it in a golden vessel. Amina asked if she actually saw how it happened, but she said no, because she was only called by his playmates who said he was attacked. But she said she still saw the stitches they made but they were already gone. Amina asked Jamila, ‘Do you think he was possessed by Shaitan?’ She said, ‘Yes.’ But I insisted that he be brought back so that he can have a healthier body and so, they could not oppose my wishes and Muhammad was taken back. Later, I and your mother, Fatima bint Asad asked Amina what Muhammad said. ‘He said that his heart was washed by the angel and replaced back so he can have wisdom.’ I told Fatima, that the angel should have washed the brain.” (Singh recommends Neil Young’s “Heart of Gold”, 1972 and also Freddie Aguilar’s “Anak”, 1978 -Ed.)
3 Narrated by Abu Talib to his son, Ali Ibn Talib: “Before your cousin started becoming a prophet, he worshipped at the Kaba. Our tribe has five idols there namely Hubal and his three daughters: Al-lat, Ummza and Manat. This is our trinity and the former, our chief god. But the holy black stone is our most treasured idol as Quyraish and I always tell Muhammad about that. The divining arrows belong to all the tribes so that they can ask questions about anything. The rest of the idols belong to the other tribes but we are the keepers of the Kabah. We were happy at first when the prophet promised that the Quyraish can keep their idols in the Kabah as he was already reciting things against the other gods. But we felt troubled when one day he had the idols of the other tribes removed and the other tribes were in uproar. But then one day we also felt betrayed for the Quyrasyh idols were also removed except the black stone. He had failed our people and had caused our embarrassment from all the other tribes. I could have believed in him also but I did not see his consistency. I could not understand his monotheism which left for us the worship or too much reverence to a stone. Perhaps, Ali, what made me more confused about his teachings are its Jewish and Christian stories which I as a merchant, had already heard a long time ago and which I believed he put together and came up with his own. Little did the prophet know that when he was a baby, he was brought by my brother and dedicated him to the spirit living in Hubal, the moon god. We were ten children in the family and your grandfather used the seven divining arrows who will be sacrificed. The lot fell on Abdullah (the servant of Allah), Muhammad’s father but before he can be sacrificed a herd of 100 camels came and they were instead sacrificed. And so, how can the prophet just destroy the idols which meant so much to our tribe and especially him who Hubal had chosen?” (Singh recommends Paul Simon’s “I am a Rock” by Simon and Garfunkel, 1965 and also Cole Porter’s “Begin the Beguine” by Artie Shaw and His Orchestra, 1935 -Ed.)
4 Narrated Abu Mutalib on the childhood of Muhammad: “He had shown early worldly wisdom as a child. For there was a time when I was entertaining Abu Bkr and Umar in my house and he was playing with other children nearby when I asked a riddle from my guests. I said, ‘What is best to ride: a horse, an ass or a camel. Abu Bkr said it was best to ride a camel because it could last long in the desert. Umar, for his part, said it was best on a horse since you can get anywhere faster but I said an ass can easily navigate even the rocky terrains.’ And then, the boy Muhammad butted in and said,’ Uncle, it best to ride a woman. You can get where you want to go, the fastest, and it will be a nice and soft ride and it’s up to you how long your energy can endure your journey.’ His boy playmates were asking him why they will ride a woman. Dumbfounded, my guests and I simply said farewell to each other. Ever since that time I asked my daughter, Hint Fakitha never to be alone with Muhammad, her cousin, for he might take her on a ride.

5 Narrated Mazinger Singh on the claimed authority of Chareman Perumal that he was converted because he saw the moon splitting just as when Muhammad asked Allah to do it for the sake of believers. He said that there was a time, when as a Hindu, he believed in the triad of goddesses Lakshmi, Parvati and Saraswati who represented the earth, underworld and heaven. The trinity represented also the phases of the moon and when he saw them all represented in the splitting, he believed. Thus, he embarked on the journey to find the lost people who held on to the truth. They were the Kurus, the remnant of the battle of Kurukshetva fought between the Kauravas and the Pandavas for the throne of Hastinapura, who left Bharat, India. According to Chakwati Farmas, the Syrians attracted to this faith, stylized this trinity as their own as Al-lat, Uzza and Manat which the Quyraysh maintained them as the daughters of the moon god, Hubal and later on was replaced by the monotheistic Allah. Allah is the perfect combination of two powers namely Al and Ilah (the male and the female counterparts). In fact, just as Hubal (Lord Spirit) used the crescent moon to direct the Zamzam spring near the Kaba, Lord Shiva also used the crescent moon to let the Ganga flow unto the earth. And the people benefited from these holy rivers coming from heaven. Mazinger Singh however, notes that the Hindu was only converted by stories related to him by the followers of Muhammad because the splitting of the moon was supposed to have happened in 621 or 622 but he came to Medina when the prophet actually has been dead for a long time. The Hindu link with the Meccan gods are however established since.

6 Narrated Aisha: We all felt bad when Ibn Mutalib died. It was one of those moments when we saw that the prophet was really in grief for his uncle indeed served as his own father having been orphaned at a young age. He did not even see his father because he was only six months then and his mother died when he was six. But what aggrieved him most was the fact that Ibn Mutalib did not convert to Islam and must have preferred Hubal and his daughters to Allah. I asked if he could he could intercede for him on resurrection day, since as prophet he must be given more than seventy souls to intercede for, but he just sadly said he will try because only Allah knows about these things. (Singh recommends “God Knows” circa 60s by Louie Levant and also, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II’s “You’ll Never Walk Alone” by Nettie Fowler from “Carousel”, 1945 and also by the same writers, ”Climb Every Mountain” by Margaret Mary Wood from “The Sound Of Music”, 1959 -Ed.)
7 Narrated Hint Fakitha bint Talib to Mariyah al-Quptiyya, who in turn narrated and which was later revealed by a Christian relative who visited the Copt after the prophet died: One time, Hani, which was Hint’s kunya; the prophet’s cousin and daughter of Ibn Mutalib approached me and said, “I know that my cousin loves you dearly for he was like that to me when he asked for my hand in marriage from my father. But in my conscience, I told my father that I could not love him. For me, he was a pitiful brother who is given to delusions that I could not take. I was very young then but I remember him getting sick, and he would say that the angel came from the roof and take him or heal him, but we did not see any damage in the ceiling. And my father would tell me he was really like that ever since he came to live with us and so he allowed me to marry instead the poet of Al- Makzhum from Sana. When we learned that he will invade Mecca, I asked my husband, Hubaira Ibn Abi Wahb, to flee to Sana for he has written many poems against him. And I was right because the prophet has implicit instructions to kill the poets who opposed him. I just stayed and pretended I converted for the safety of my family, especially the children, and our property which he shared as a member of the household, until he became a self-made man”. ( Singh recommends Mitchell Parish and Glenn Miller’s “Moonlight Serenade”, Glenn Miller and His Band, 1939 and also Ramon Torralba and Dennis Garcia’s “Pers Lab” by the Hotdog, 1974 -Ed.)
8 Narrated by Ramiah bint Abi Safyan on Hint bint Hubaira upon her query as to why Hani did not marry the prophet and why she declined again when he just wanted to honor her: “Yes, since Hubaira had abandoned us, I as a Muslim convert is now free to marry him but please don’t take it against me or my family for he even grew up with us. My father then, thought that since he was just teaching the trade to the young prophet, he would not be in the position to take care of me. Besides, there was already an understanding between the Al-Makzhum and our family which needed to be honored. Marrying him now will unfairly burden the prophet with my children and I do not want to do that. But seeing many of you taking care of him makes me happy.” And so, I went to Hint bint Abi Umayyah and asked her about it for I was still furious and she calmed me down when she said, ‘The Mutalibs are an honorable family. The apostle of Allah even took Ali as his own son. Just look at how Ali is following the prophet. Even the act of not burdening our prophet is an honorable gesture for a woman. Calm down.’ And only then did I calm down.

9 Written by Jubaira Ibn Abi Wahb and recited by him in different spots in Sana as a warning about the prophet:
Who is this who emerges from Mekkan dust
And claims prominence on the earth’s crust?
Is he the golden hand of Hubal who is red
With sacrifices that all tribes dread
Or is he the spirit that is sent to subjugate
All peoples unto the fiery Hellgate?
Who are you to judge the gods of the desert
When you are yourself an insert
Wedged between the pages of the books
With Christian and Jewish outlooks!
And then another:
Who comes in the name of peace
But brings war unto the tribes and clans
Threatening till all oppositions cease;
Killing, raping, enslaving, looting all at once?
Claims one god but doesn’t seem to be the one
For he’s gone and this one’s not done.
And another;
Hani, my wife told me to flee
From this man of doubtful destiny.
When young, he asked for her hand
With delusions she can’t stand.
So she was given to me instead
For he was a relative full of dread.
I hope I can see my family again
For there is freedom to regain.

10 Written on the notoriety of Mazinger Singh: Poetry was essential as a form of entertainment during the times of Muhammad. There were two forms of poetry during that time; the Al Manthur and the Al Manzur: the former which is the poetry for everyday use and the latter which is classical in form. In fact, the contest for influence in the control of the Kabah entailed the presence of poets speaking in behalf of a tribe or its god or gods. Naturally, if an idol is possessed, its poet is likely to be possessed and also, so that its presence in the Kaba is protected. Apparently, Shaitan took possession of Muhammad and ”spoke through him, and reminded recognition of the Meccan gods.” After Muhammad had taken possession of the Kaba, the poets mounted opposition against Islam. Muhammad was subjected to all sorts of infamy such that the sign of being a true prophet possessed him: no prophet is ever accepted in his own bani. One reason being that Muhammad’s monotheism is suspect because the Kaba remained and also, we have even the Quran exclaiming, “Take me and my mother for two gods besides Allah. Anyway, Islam is supposedly Al Gharuba, a strange teaching and Gharuba meaning covert. This is the reason why it became necessary for Muhammad to have outbursts against his oppositionists, “Who is going to rid me…? ,Who is going to stop…? Who is going to kill…?” The result was a series of murders which silenced the poets which is now known as the Dead Poets Society. The assassins were easily identifiable for they stand up and volunteer in Muhammad’s gatherings but there was no mechanism to go after them. They would even defy the victims’ families into intimidation and utter subjection. ‘An assassin even had to remove a sleeping baby from its mother, Asma bint Marwan before plunging the blade onto the poetess’ heart.‘-(Justice for Asma bint Marwan Movement). “Su-ad” was composed by a poet to praise the beauty of women, as peace offering to the prophet, who was hunting him down. He knew what poetry this prophet wants. For actually, the poet was a sort of poet reciting other’s works when his mood is good and even changing them a little so that they can become his or part of holy verse. Actually, he did not hate poetry per se but loves it especially when it flatters him. In fact, he would even pay for it so that it can be made public acclaim like those of Hassan bin Thabit.

11 On the authority of Abu Sado and narrated by Abu Luyan on the stoning of Baba Umm Maw Maw of the Bani Maw Maw, sodomist: “The prophet received a report that a certain healer and soothsayer from the Bani Maw Maw was the subject of certain complaints from Muslim converts of that tribe. It happened that this Baba Umm Maw Maw was the Chief of this tribe. The term Baba was an endearment to him as the patriarch and the Umm an appellate to him as the matriarch. But this man, who likes wearing a lady’s habijah, when healing his tribesmen, will isolate the men and do things to them in nakedness, in the guise of healing them. A certain wife complained that after his husband’s healing session, he could no longer have sexual relations with her, because he preferred what Baba Umm did to him. There was even another one who divorced his wife and started co-habiting with the chief. Pubescent girls and boys who were brought to him became queer in their behavior after being healed, or after their future is told, for the boys all said they will become husbands to him. He will not only read the palms, but needed to feel the whole body to tell the future; and later, the girls found themselves deflowered. Even babies were victimized by him. Abu Sado reported the results of his investigation. When the prophet learned about this, he decided that Baba Umm was guilty of adultery and fornication and was stoned to death in the middle of their tribe’s assembly ground. His last words were: ’Perhaps a promiscuous jinn possessed me for I just got the idea of getting into them. (maw maw-getting an idea, getting into them )’ An almsgiving drive was provided for all the victims wherein I was appointed to recompense all affected families. In his mercy, the prophet volunteered to be their Baba Umm, for that is how call their chief.

12 On the authority of a Saudi exorcist, who is a member of the Commission on Scientific Research and Fatwas, who does not want to be identified so that he could not be traced by the Jinns: Special Fatawa No. 3.1416:“ The Jinns are “created by Allah from the smokeless flame of fire”. Marids are not married for they do not believe in any sacrament. They are the rebel Jinns and for that they were given the blue skin that is why they are called the Blue Jinns. The Green Jinns are the jinns that are green with envy about the status of mankind. The Orange Jinns are those which are very playful and would like to snare children. The Yellow Jinns make people yellow with cowardice. The Yellow Jinns make men afraid and become hopeless. They encourage men to get intoxicated with liquor so that, if it becomes a habit, they will turn yellow with jaundice. The Violet and Pink Jinns are those who encourage people to pervert each other. They are the original founders of the rainbow coalition and this is why the gay men were referred to before as fairies. The ordinary Red Jinns make men quarrel and harm each other. There are also dwarf red jinns. The Ifrits are large winged Jinns who are red with rage and when wounded will bleed fire. They live in dank, dark places where they take their brides from the daughters of men. The Black Jinns assist the angel of death. They take away the men and women who are unrepentant at the time of their deaths. Ogres are hairy black jinns. The White Jinns inhabit the Caucasus and the Himalayas. The Yeti is a hairy white jinn. Some of them have learned to live in cities and are called “white ladies”. In Scotland, those who live in rocky hills are called “scotch on the rocks” while those who live in deserts are called “dry jinns”. There are also dwarf white jinns. The Shiqs are satyrs whose genitals are almost half their bodies and their progenies for co-habitating with mankind produce nasnas who have bat wings. The qareen are spirits who lead men astray as to careen from the righteous path. They are especially active in feeding information to fortune tellers so that they can give wrong advice to men. The ghouls are spirits who feed on the dead and harm the living for their food and pleasure.

13 Narrated by Pa’Doks, the Blue Jinn as retold by Lee, another Blue Jinn: “Levi, the rebel Blue Jinn brought Muhammad to what appeared to be the great Engedi oasis, the Spring of the Kid, but who’s got to be kidding for it could be the Great Nafud, or even the Negev, where he had planned to entrap Muhammad in front of the ruling Jinns of the world over his innocence, rather ignorance of worldly matters and therefore embarrass Jibreel. Gin Jer, the double-chinned Chin Jinn, Jin Seng, the Chosen and Jinn Kyu, of Ryukyu represented the Yellow Jinns. Verdanth and Abu Berdin represented the Green Jinns. Orang Uthan and Orang Jean represented the Orange Jinns. Abu It’him , Abu Neghi and Negri Jinn represented the Black Jinns. Bl’nza Kitha, Ani Sado and Gin Hebra and Qasim Puthi represented the White Jinns with the multitudes of Olympic and Nordic Jinns in a majority, but were rather cautious and silent in the proceedings. Mu Rouge Ifrit, Vermi Lion, Rhedihaman, and Pulan Jhi represented the Zar wind genies and the Red with rage Jinns. Athi Gay, Thibur, Aceh Diceh, Vio-Late, Purphurriya and Caprice represented the Pink and Violet Jinns while Thru-Relijohn and Usedhi represented the Blue Jinns . The Jinniuses were represented by Aye Thi, Aye Eye, Loco Motiv, Jeth Ehn Jinn, and Abi Ashon and Estim’n Jihn. Levi spoke as the Moderator and declared, ‘O Prophet, all the Jinns are here to convert to Islam, however, they want to ask some questions because you are the prophet of Allah and they want to know how to become good Muslims.’
Vermi, the Red Lion was first to raise his hand, ‘Why do you imitate our strategy of violence?’ he asked. ‘Because with shock and awe, we do not leave anything for those who oppose any room to strategize.’ the prophet said. ‘And you violate the women and make slaves out of them and even their children, ‘ added Vio-Late who actually came early. ‘But we’ve shown them mercy by making them live.’ The prophet said. ‘Why don’t you like paintings?’ inquired Jin Jer,’We have paintings of you both naked and garbed with different women.’ Muhammad swallowed his saliva, ‘You do? Can I see them.’ But Jin Jer frowned, ‘ No, it is not allowed for Muslims.’But Phulan Ji added, ‘But you can borrow the Kama Sutra of the Indians and you can see them.’ Rhedihaman, the Aryan said, ’Yes, you have good pictures there.’ But everyone kept silent when Mu Rouge Ifrit spoke, ‘But we have established your acts of violence!’ But the prophet protested, ‘But I ordered that the pregnant women will not be touched and the children left alone.’ There was tremor on the sand when MRI, the Ifrit raised its voice flapped it wings, ‘That was still violence when you made those pregnant women slaves with their children. And that was still violence when you thigh a girl and suck the mouth of boys!’ he defended himself, ‘But that girl was my wife and I was just blessing those boys because they were thirsty.’
‘But we love this guy’, said Athi Gay, the consort of Lucky Gay ‘He respects transgender custom because he received revelation only while garbed in Aysha’s dress.’ Aceh Diceh however spoke: ‘What about the death of Baba Umm Maw Maw? He was a gay transgender of Bani Maw Maw, who was both patriarch and matriarch of his tribe, and he was stoned to death because this man said that that Allah does not like the practice of sodomy! Who is he to judge our anuses?’ Moreover, Purphurriya declared,’ He’s more dirty, in fact when he swims in the menses and dives for honey between the legs.’ Muhammad said, ‘But I’m no swimmer, I can only dive two feet.’ He still would like to say something but Thibur stopped him and exclaimed, ‘Yes, he is guilty of killing and punishing our gay converts. He does not like the world to be gay!’ And Caprice even added, ‘ And he bathes himself with fragrance like a drag queen, to rid himself of the smell of the menses. What a hypocrite!’
‘Our complaint about him is exactly that,’ said Gin Hebra, ‘The black stone used to be white but he allowed idolatrers to touch it and now it’s black!’ ‘Not only that,, said Abu Berdin, ‘For we are green with envy because of his favoring the gods of the Quraysh tribe over those other tribes that worship us’. ‘ Yes, he even caused our idols to be destroyed!’ said the Orang Uthan and Abu It’him. ‘But I also destroyed the idols of Hubal and his daughters!’ protested Muhammad. But the oasis trembled again when MRI stomped his foot for the Ifrit was just waiting on the wings, ‘Exactly! That is why you did not give any respect to us Jinns of darkness whose lives are blessed by the phases of the moon!’
‘But I even made the miracle of the moon,’ said the prophet. ‘ Don’t fool yourself! It was the Dag Ohoys who did that, you idiot, those mysterious spirits of the air,’ said Abu Neghi, ‘We knew that because we were there.’ And then, Levi the Blue Jinn recalled, ‘ But where are the dag gods of air and water? Why aren’t the children of the dragon here?’ It was Verdanth who answered, for he also visits the verdant seas, ‘The sons and daughters of Dagon chose to be absent because they don’t like this man also, for he left out the sea and wind gods! Even the Pleiadesian monsters are not represented here. Neither the man-eating and blood drinking ghouls nor are the Aos Si of Tuatha de Danaan of Newgrange are here!’ The prophet whimpered, ‘But I am not an air bender nor a sailor!’ But Negri Jinn retorted, ‘And yet you sail on a night journey!’ Abu Ith’m even added, ‘Who is this Buraq guy? We checked on the Aegean centaurs and the Ophir tigbalangs and there was no one of that name. You just made them all up, didn’t you? You and your…’
‘But I like this guy, he has this prophecy about skyscrapers being built on Meccan soil.’ Said Loco Motiv, the Genie of Mischief. ‘But I prefer the flat earth theory as he likened the earth to the carpet on resurrection day.’ said Estim’n Jinn. ‘But I like his version of the big bang which he developed from the bangs of his wives,’ said Jethin Jinn. But Aye Thi and Aye Eye spoke, ‘ This man sold us as camel drivers even when we looked like travelers from the future. Because of him the great secret of the trinity of the Kabah might be revealed because we are keeping the secrets of Selenium, Silicon and Lithium, the daughters of Hubal’. But Abi Ashon just said tersely, ‘This man will use aviation to terrorize all the infidels who don’t want to believe his message!’
Scotch on the Rocks and Qasim Puthi of the far away islands then accused the prophet of necrophiliac and incestuous tendencies. The Scotch said that ‘He was found lying with her dead aunt, Fatima.’ To which Muhammad retorted, “What is wrong about being liars once in a while?’ While the Qasim Puthi said, ‘ O my badness, he was observed not being able to sleep without kissing his daughter, Fatima and plunging into her breasts.’ The prophet said he was only very fond of his daughter. Such that Ani Sado, Orang Jinn, Bl’n Kitha and Abu Neghi had to exclaim, ‘Goodness, how could he be more bad than us?!’ Then, Qasim Puthi reminded the Jinns all gathered. ‘Remember that this man up to this day had some of us kept in lamps and vessels inside the Kabah.’ Even during this time, the Olympic and Nordic Jinns kept quiet then suddenly blurted out. ‘Let us kill him and liberate our brethrens!’
‘Then let us decide whether we will believe in this man as some did already by converting into Islam and renouncing the old religion,’ declared Levi. The Engothins who are the guardians of the great Eingedi exclaimed, “Let us not convert!” Usedhi and Thru Relijohn joined in and shouted, ‘This man works for profit he is no prophet! He sold Aye Thi and Aye Eye!’ Their prepared exclamations thundered over Engedi as it was met with a resounding acclamation making the great oasis shiver. Levi, Usedhi and Thru Relijohn then goaded the throng, ‘Crucify him! Crucify him! Let’s see if Jibreel can take him to heaven!’
But then, all of a sudden Jibreel with his 600 wings appeared in the sky and with him were Samael, Chief of the Nephelims and Abay Rushid, King of plagues along with a third of the fallen stars quickly surrounding the area. ‘It’s Dorogun! Run!’ Jinn Seng, and Jinn Kyu of Ryukyu were the first to recognize. But the fallen angels were fast enough that everyone was pinned down. Jibreel, the Jedi of Eingedi pinned down Levi, the Blue Jinn and ordered, ‘Read!’
Slowly and with tears in his eyes, Levi read: ‘Official Edict of Allah, the One and Only God: All Jinns must convert to Islam or die hard. Profess that there is no other god but Allah and Muhammad is his only prophet. All those who will not profess will be beheaded. But as creatures from the smokeless fire you are given the choice between your two heads.’ It was a deadly silence which followed and then Jibreel, the Dragon ordered, ‘I shall not count for I am not just a count but a prince.’ And then he commanded the fateful words that will change the texture of the world of Jinns forever, ‘Profess now!’ And most ejaculated, ‘There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his only prophet!’ But there some who were indeed smart asses that they pronounced only gibberish and so Jibreel, the Doragun Shogun decided to bury them alive instead so that they will suffer more. And that is how it happened that the conspiracy against the prophet was thwarted and because nobody knows exactly where it happened because some of the Jinns only did cast a magic spell, (En=Engedi or Nafud, or Negev), it was later written in the Jinn Annals as the Great En Jinn Conversion.

14 Narrated by Lee and Pa’Doks, both Marids but are still single: “There were hardly no one who ejaculated against Muhammad but instead professed Islam out of fear of Jibreel but those who pretended, and only spoke in Gibberish or Burnai, were buried alive by the fallen angels in the howling Arabian wilderness.”(Singh recommends Willie Nelson’s “Crazy” by Patsy Cline, 1965 and also George Canseco’s “Bakit?”by Imelda Papin, 1974 -Ed.)
15 Narrated Aphrodite Venus on the authority of Zeus Jupiter: “We, the Olympians simply kept quite during the Engedi Council because we found it unpropitious to put forward our cause and case because it was indeed a case for monotheism. ‘Suffice to say that we can still try to get through mankind in their athletic events,’ said Hermes Mercury. I can easily penetrate their lavish feasts and excessive inebriation events,’ said Bacchus Dionysus,’ Didn’t we, along with the Norse gods came as Neanderthals so that we can impregnate mankind? Zeus was even more clever than me, coming as a swan, a bull, an ant or some familiar phenomena unknown to unsuspecting women such as a golden shower. Remember Leda, Europa, Phitia and some others… ‘But I was indignant. ‘But an ant?”I asked dubiously. But Bacchus persisted, ‘Didn’t you know about Mitheus, the Satyr? Now this satyr is the worst. He would wait on the road and then rapes anyone who comes along, human or not, and through the years he had countless victims who all cursed him up to Olympus in their prayers. When he has already grown old, and had Zeus strip him of his immortality because of the hexes, there was one time when the gods and mortals saw him rolling on the road as if groaning from the pain. And in earnest, they came upon to help him but he waved them to stay away. All were sorry for him for he was, as they thought, was convulsively dying until an ant crawled listlessly away from his crotch. And the gods heard the ant scream, ‘He raped me! That animal raped me!’ I can’t help myself from slapping Dionysius.( Singh recommends “My Funny Valentine” first sung by Lorenz Hart in 1937 Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Babe in Arms” and also Tony Maiquez and Levi Celerio’s “Sapagkat Kami’y Tao Lamang” from the movie with the same title, by Ric Manrique, 1963 -Ed.)
16 Narrated by Loki to Thor on the aftermath of the Council of Engedi as reported in Valhalla: “I say it was a farcical synod. It was good that Odin, our father wasn’t there. But it was really strenuous for me stopping Thor for hammering some of the other Nephilim for it would be futile seeing their number. I say it is not yet time for us Norse gods to regain the world again. We will make use of the great Aryan migration from the north, Scandinavia I mean, to remind mankind who is master of the world. But if the Muslims will accommodate me as their Mahdi, I am willing to help them out.” But Thor was uninterested and so I spoke of another convention. “I was made a guest speaker in one Wicca covention (a gathering of covens) and when I finished my talk on the old religion, one coven warlock prodded me to a latecomer who did not touch any of the witches’ despicable foods but simply asked for hot water. The whole assembly gaped as everyone right away was alarmed as we might be having the presence of a deep penetration agent. Everybody was in a deathlike silence, as if we were suspended in time on what this person will do, when the waiter brought his hot water. And suddenly, with an etiquettish gesture, he brought out a used female absorbent pad . This late warlock was having tummy pains and needed some tea badly after may be eating so much dinuguan or tinumis. What a sigh of relief the whole assembly gave. This red-haired guy was the next speaker, on the topic, “ Surviving Persecution as a Transient Vampire”. And as usual, Thor was asleep over my story.( Singh recommends Van Halen’s “You Really Got Me” by the Kinks, 1978 and also, Herman Hupfeld’s 1931 song for “Everybody Welcome” “As Time Goes By” by Dooley Wilson as leitmotif in “Casa Blanca,”1942 -Ed.)
17 Narrated by Jinn Ryukyu on the authority of Kung Fu Chi, Chinese scholar of the spiritual martial arts: “The Yellow Jinns were distraught about what happened in Eng-Je-Dy, which in Chin was a day focused on taking the turn from a disguised monotheism into a bona fide polytheism, when they tried to entrap the prophet. Chosen jinn spoke: ‘I wanted to preserve our freedom in the hermit kingdom but Jibreel was clever’. I bragged, a little for I have drunk much of Arab wine they call saki, ‘ It will be hard for the Kuraiysh to come to Nihon, they will need sturdy boats and all they have are deflowered camels who can’t swim from Goguryeo.’ But then, Jinn Jer spoke, ‘We need to pray to the goddess of mercy for they can come to Chin by camels. And to think that that Eng-Je-dy was only an illusion!’ Did we hear right, I asked myself. ‘An illusion?!’ we exclaimed. He said, ‘Yes, because it was only made up by the jade emperor whom we tapped.’ We were shocked by the confession for we thought it was the Dag Ohoys. ‘The Jade emperor!’ We exclaimed. ‘But you are a yellow Jinn, how can you approach the Chief Jinn of the Green Jinns?’ He said, ‘I and Levi offered him thirty sacks of green tea leaves.’ We looked at each other and yelled,’ Why you traitor!’ We tried to harm him but he was fast gone into Mongolia hiding in some Khan’s tent.

18 Narrated Abu Luyan, ministering officer for Muslim funds: “The lot for financing the feast of Ramadan fell on three tribes namely Bani Ngani, Bani Gros and Bani Lukano. The prophet said, “Let Allah decide again. Each tribe will choose their champion who will go down Zamzam. The first one to emerge from the water will have his tribe spend for the poor people during the holy month of Ramadan when Janna’s gates are open.’ From Ngani and Gros young men were chosen with big chests purportedly with strong lungs but from Lukano, the chief himself volunteered for he was very stingy and would not want any chances for the young men who might just have the pleasure of the game. ‘What a devout man,’ the prophet said of Chief Kunath,’ He must want to lose so that he can perform more almsgiving.’ And so, the contest ensued. Only a few minutes the young men emerged with the representative from the Ngani winning for he was told by his Chief to get the honor. The man from Gros went up right away after seeing the Ngani man go up. But everyone was wondering why Chief Kunath would not go up yet. And so, the prophet being experienced with breathing control time between two feet laps, dispatched his men to pull him out for it was almost an hour. But Chief Kunath was already dead embracing the large rock within the spring waters. And the prophet realized he did not want to spend but to avoid any scandal he said, ‘He must have loved the blessing of the Zamzam so much.’”( Singh recommends Smokey Robinson’s “You Really Got a Hold on Me” with The Miracles, 1962 George Grusin and Alan and Marilyn Bergman’s “What Matters Most” by Kenny Rankin, 2009 -Ed.)
19 Narrated by Abu Sabos on the legacy of Chief Kunath of the Bani Lukano: “Aside from Arabic, Bani Lukano speaks its own dialect and the chief usually uses this dialect to make rulings and pronouncements. One time, Chief Kunath saw the prophet looking at his daughter, Bai with unnerving lust that he called me right away for a solution. This was especially because he has already consented giving her away in marriage to Ubengga a young rich chieftain of an African tribe, who has just left after giving dowry. We dispatched right away the daughter to catch up with the groom, on horseback, with some tribesmen. And so, when Abu Bkr and Umar came over to seek Bay, we regretfully said that she has already left ten days ago, since that was when the prophet set eyes upon her and produced the ruling of the Chief which I was brought for interpretation. We invented the story that the suitor arrived on the evening after the prophet made visit to our tribe and he had to make a decision right away and performed the marriage in a Muslim way with Ubengga being renamed Ali Bang. And thus, I showed the prophet the ruling and it has two parts called ayats which said: ‘Ti ayat ti Maysa nga Ubing, which spoke of the virtues of marrying a young man as sweet as the flowers of the oasis and bringing much prosperity; and Ti ayat ti maysa nga Lakay, which is the love of an old man which is bitter like wormwood, that would soon extinguish. Suspiciously, the prophet eyed me but before he could ask for whom the ayat was meant for, I exclaimed, acting with tears that it was me, the lakay who has only friendship for the Chief for I am a poor old man. Sighing, the prophet had only to sympathize with me for they were a good ten days away and must have crossed the sea already. He even gave me two dirhams as alms before dismissing me. A day later, a fatwa was read by Uthman that all rulings of the chiefs will be approved first by the prophet, but Bay, we were told was already safe in the other continent.

20 Narrated Sheikh Rachin Ruholh, who had asked the help of the prophet, in exorcizing the grave of his father, the former chief: “I asked him why there is a need for graveyard punishment when there is already a designated Judgment Day and he answered, ‘Allah knows that much is to be done on the day of resurrection that is why as an all-knowing god, he has given an advanced order for the torture of those who are infidels.’ (Singh recommends Paul Francis Webster and Sammy Fain’s “Tender is the Night” by Johnny Mathis, 1964 and also, Carl Sigman and Charles Danvers’ “Till”, originally ‘Priore sans Espoir’ by Lucien Rupi and Pierre Benoit Buisson, 1957, by Percy Faith, 1958-Ed.)
21 On the authority of Sheikh Rachim Ruhol on the authority of Al-Tirmidhi: “Muslims when they die are subjected to the punishment by the grave where the angels; Al-Munku and Al-Nakeer interrogate the dead about matters of the faith and if he fails in the test, he is immediately tortured and the grave is made to crush him until his cross-over or the Judgment Day. He is also hammered for every wrong response. And this is how the hypocrites are treated in the grave.” This terrible state of affairs made Zaynab bint Jashs to write a reviewer for those who are about to die, sometimes to be read by the relatives to the dying person so that they can rightfully answer and avoid tortures. She claimed to have the imprimatur and nihil obstat of the prophet as shown by his autograph. This is the reason why, Zaynab also has the only autographed copy of the Quran which Uthman rejected as Caliph, later on.(Singh recommends Eddie de Lange and Irving Mills’ “Moonglow ‘and Love’”by Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington, 1933 and also Danny Subido and Edgar Mortiz’ “My Pledge of Love” by Edgar Mortiz, 1970 -Ed.)
22 Narrated Al Harith that a certain man Al-Asadi embraced Islam but had a certain problem afterwards because before his profession of faith, he had already married eight women and thus, he had approached the Apostle about the problem. And he replied that since only four are lawful, he had to divorce the other four. Of course, he complied with the prophetic judgement. But if I were him, said Ibn Ubayy, the hypocrite, I would not tell him about the other four and declare only four. His reason; he might marry anyone of the new divorcees as a prophet and second, he would not know especially if you hide them in their identical hijabs.

23 Narrated Safiya, as special guest of the Medina Lonely Hearts Club, a support group for the women victims of the prophet: “You may not understand me for staying with him but I have nowhere else to go. Therefore, I have just to accept my fate. But inwardly, as you can tell, perhaps, just like you I have never forsaken my faith; the faith of my ancestors, for he had brought nothing new except the miseries he brought us. Remember that in just one day, he uprooted me and almost annihilated my clan. It’s good that they remembered that they can’t take care of the date farms and the cattle, for these Bedouins are without skills. Otherwise, my people will all be dead. Kinana was my first husband and it was stupid of him to go back at that time to protect his treasures. My second husband died with my family; I have nobody to return to. Every time, the remainders of the Khaybar will see me, they will be recalling the day when we were robbed of our dignity and even our faith. I will always be a painful reminder for them to vindicate our plight someday. I will not be surprised if someone from my tribe will serve as an avenger one day. Actually, I am just an ornament to him, a doll which has no liberty whatsoever, not even life. I congratulate you for liberating yourselves in one way or another.” (Singh recommends Danny de Minno and Carmen Lombardo’s “Return to Me” by Dean Martin, 1958 and also, Debbie Hupp and Bob Morrison’s “You Decorated my Life” by Kenny Rogers, 2018, -Ed.)
24 Narrated by Ramiyah, consort of the prophet and special guest of the Medina Lonely Hearts Club: “I congratulate you all for breaking yourselves free from the monster. He calls Ubay a hypocrite, how different could he be? Ubay is just a loud competition. I did not marry him because like Mariyah I do not want to forsake the faith of my fathers. Before he said he introduced monotheism we were already monotheistic. Even today as I speak, he is still groping with his theology for he is trying to learn from me, his slave. But even if I teach him sincerely, he won’t learn because he already deep into his delusions. He is sick in the mind, that is why the spirits possess him and this sickness tries to assuage itself by finding pleasure in sex where as you already know, he is also problematic.”(Singh recommends Jose Mari Chan’s “Beautiful Girl”, 1989, Andrew Lloyd-Weber and Trevor Nunn, “Memory” from “Cats” cover by Barbra Streisand, “Memories”,1973 -Ed.)
25 Narrated Ramiyah, sex slave of the apostle, speaking at the Medina Lonely Hearts Club, to the members of the sorority all victims of male atrocities: ”I even pity those who are sent to him as bride peace offerings of their communities or families cowering at his violent temperament for conquest. I personally believe that they have chosen to die rather than be ravished by him. This would include even those who are made substitutes for them. I will of course understand them if they take poison while traveling or take no more nourishment as they were already like dead. Deep in my heart, I pity them and at the same time admire them for their fatal decision.”( Singh recommends Jose Mari Chan’s “Deep in My Heart”, 1969 Bill Dees and Ray Orbison’s “Pretty Woman” by Ray Orbison, 1964 -Ed.)
26 Narrated Sauda on the authority of Umar, the Second Caliph and Abu Hurayra, the Adder, who attested the prophet’s being an expert on stones and dung, being his toilet assistant; on the reason why women wear the habijah and the miracle of the stones: “And so it came to pass in the Ramadan, that Muhammad noticed that his disciples will indeed fast but in evening would eat faster to recover their strength right away with the food that the women served them. And so, to teach them a lesson, he brought them out in the outskirts of Medina to the place called Al Mansari , which is the public toilet at night, before the sunset prayer. And he said to them, ‘Go ye each one of you and find a stone for each before we partake of food later.’ And so, in the evening before supper as expected, as the Jinns who have converted to Islam have been told to watch over them, each one brought his own stone. Abu Bkr, brought the largest which was the size of his thigh, Umar, who is familiar with the place [for he was patrolling the waste area (made a toilet area during the night so as not to be seen) when he recognized Sauda (for she was a large woman and easily recognizable); and therefore, was responsible for the habijah among women) got only the second largest, the size of his kneecap, Uthman got the third, the size of his biceps and Ali, though young, was prevented by Jinns into finding any larger than his fist. But Ubay, lazy that he was, was contented with a pebble. And with that the prophet recited bizmillah and the stones were changed into bread. (Singh recommends Dorothy Fields and Jerome Kern’s “The Way You Look Tonight” by Fred Astaire, 1936 Meredith Wilson’s “Till There Was You” for the “Music Man”by Barbara Cook,1957 cover by Anyta Bryant, 1959 and by the Beatles, 1964- Ed.)
27 Narrated Omar, the Second Caliph on the hypocrisy and and laziness of Ubay: “Of course, each one knows which his bread was and the prophet only shared some with that of Abu Bkr being the largest. Ubay learned from the messenger that it does not pay to be lazy especially when fasting. But for Ubay, as he was a hypocrite, the best lesson was to eat slowly especially, and pretend each morsel had to last longer as it should, as part of social etiquette, and relish it when your bread is only the size of a pebble”.(Sigh recommends Leslie Bricusse and Jerry Goldmith’s “And We Were Lovers” by Andy Williams, theme song from the Sand Pebbles,1966 and also, Nina Rota’s “Speak Softly Love” by Andy Williams, 1972 -Ed.)
28 Narrated Abu Bkr, the First Caliph on the intervention of the Marids: “Then it happened on the second day of fast that the prophet said to them, ‘Go ye, each one, and find your stone again which you will need for your supper.’ With the intervention of the blue jinns (marids), each one of us found their respective stone. Expecting that the rocks will be changed into bread, Ubay was ecstatic to have found the largest stone, the size of his hump. Uthman got the second biggest which was the size of his head. I got one the size of his feet. Umar got one the size of his hand. And Ali, we thought him unlucky, got one, the size of his ear. After the maghrib, Fatima came with a leather bag tanned by Zaynab. Then the prophet said, “Throw your own rock the farthest. The one who can throw the farthest will have the biggest share.” And so, each one threw his own rock and of course, Ubay’s rock landed the nearest while that of Ali landed the farthest. And so, the content of the bag was opened by the prophet’s daughter and we saw mutton with relish.

29 Narrated by Abu Bkr, the father of Aysha and First Caliph: “It was good that Ali landed his rock the farthest because he had to eat the lion’s share with Fatima. But for Ubay, who is among the Manifiqun, the prophet sliced only a small chunk because his stone landed on the nearest sand. But Ubay being pikon ( always thinking he is being picked on ) complained, ‘Why is this so, when I strived the hardest?’ But the prophet answered, ‘Because gluttony is the hard rock of greed that can only be diminished in bits and pieces.’ And on that day Ubay learned why gems come in bits and pieces because his mind operated differently. (Singh recommends Artie Resnick and Joey Levine’s “Yummy, Yummy, Yummy” by the Ohio Express, 1968, and also, Thom Bell and Linda Diane Creed’s “You Make Me Feel Brand New”,1974 by the Stylistics -Ed.)
30 Narrated by Uthman, the Third Caliph on Ubay’s challenge and the excitement about the reward: “When the third day in the wilderness came, Ubay, clever as he was; challenged the prophet after they have left the mosque and was on the way to Al-Mansi,” O Allah’s prophet why don’t you tell us later what we will need for supper so that we could provide for it right away.” And the prophet answered, ‘O Ubay, stop thinking of how to break your fast for verily I tell you at this very moment Umm Salama and Umm Safyan are already enriching our dinner with the spices of Aisha and Hafsha. However, since you engage me about it, go ye each one and find two stones each for there will be a great blessing for you, men only’. And they rushed and set out excited as ever for the reward of their fast and Muhammad went to Al-Mansari alone for their tryst.(Singh recommends Pedro Infante or Pablo Ruiz’ “Quien Sera?” originally, then Norman Gimbel “Sway”1954, by Dean Martin, and later, Michael Buble and also Bobby Scott and Ric Marlow’s “A Taste of Honey” first with vocals by Billy Dee Williams, 1961 and instrumentals best popularized by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, 1965-Ed.)
31 Narrated by Uthman, the Third Caliph on the Fiqh of the Sidiq against the aql of Ubayy: ‘Hence, in the evening, after maghrib when the black slave Bilal brought the penultimate feast, the disciples brought out their pairs of stones for the blessing. The Sidiq, who were the holy companions and called by some as the Sons of Lightning were already starting to have the fiqh, and already have some picture of future events as prophets themselves, for Allah, although he has made Muhammad the seal of prophets afforded him some leaks have similarly sized stones. The messenger testing their faith said, ‘O my sons, am I not a father to you? Why then did you copy each other and brought stones of similar sizes by the pair?’ Ubay at this time was jubilant because it is seldom that the four were rebuked and Muhammad using the fiqh will always pick on him. Moreover, clever as Ibn Ubayy was, he brought stones that were rough, one of which is so small and the other one so big such that one that could be thrown the farthest while the other one could be a big bellyful of meat since they have already started eating lamb the other night, and its sides will therefore be filled with fatty appetizing slivers. (Singh recommends Alan and Marilyn Bergman and Michel Legrand’s“The Windmills of Your Mind” originally ‘Les Moulins de Mon Coeur’ by Eddie Marnay, performed by Michel Legrand himself for the movie, The Thomas Crown Affair, 1968- Ed.)
32 Narrated Ali, the Fourth Caliph on the unnecessary competition between brothers: “Since, the other companions were timid in answering Abu Bkr, the father of Aisha ventured to answer, ‘O most holy prophet, rebuke us not for counseling each other for each one alone is weak. We have deemed it proper to only eat what is enough to fill us and we have decided it to be smooth so that if they were to be made bread, it will be easier for the palate. We also thought that such a size can already go a distance and since we are brothers, it is a bother to still compete.” (Singh recommends Bob Scott and Bob Russel’s “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” originally sung by Kelly Gordon, and a hit, by the Hollies, 1969 and also, Dolores Velasquez 1940 song, “Besame Mucho” although she had never been kissed at that time, most popular cover by Trio Los Panchos, 1956 -Ed.)
33 Narrated Ali, the Fourth Caliph on the test given to Ubayy and Bilal: “Then, the prophet turned to Aisha’s slanderer, ‘And what about you, Ubay? Why are the rocks so different?’ Of course, Ubay did not confess that he had some preconceived notions for he has the makings of prophet more than the sons of lightning and so he said, ‘Why, I just took the very first ones I saw.’ And then he turned to Bilal and asked, ‘Did I not ask you to bring two eggs?’ Bilal panicked but was relieved when he found them by the vegetable side dish. ‘O Master I thought I missed them for Rhianna volunteered to help and I did not check.’ Muhammad smiled to comfort him and said, ‘That’s alright, but I will never allow you to have Rhianna touch those eggs after tonight.’ And all the men were puzzled about what he said.(Singh recommends Bob Dylan’s “Blowin in the Wind” by Peter, Paul and Mary, 1962 and also Antonio Mozzachi”s “O Sole Mio”1898, English translation cover by Elvis Presley, “Now or Never”,1975 -Ed.)
34 Narrated Ali , the husband of Fatima, the prophet’s favorite daughter: “And then he recited two units of rakka (so that the jinns would no longer interfere ) and then a double dua before blessing the stones and suddenly the men around him felt lighter because their balls dropped unto the sand. Then the rocks and the eggs which were included vanished from sight and they felt heavier as men. The prophet announced, ‘You have been blessed in accordance with your deeds and now you will have the power to have more children because of the balls that replaced your old ones’. And they did not even have to look for they were men of faith except Ubay who suddenly developed a posture leaning to the left for the bigger replacement was made there. (Singh recommends Olivia Newton-John’s “Xanadu” with Electric Light Orchestra,1980 and also, this could be a disambiguation for 1955 song by Arthur Schwartz and Sammy Cahn’s “Love is All that Matters” by Eric Carmen, 1977 -Ed.)
35 Narrated Uthman as a Sidiq, on the designation of Bilal: “But Omar, the father of Hafsha and the most spontaneous asked, ‘But Prophet, where did the eggs go?’ And the prophet turned his gaze at the crying slave for he had tears of joy welling up. ‘It would surprise his wife that he does not have colored balls but ones that are alabaster white. And blessed are you Bilal, for your loyalty of bringing Safiya to me over the slain men despite her shrieking cousin, for you shall not be slave but master of all when we arrive in Mecca. For upon your cries and call to Adha, everyone including me, will come as you beckon and stand on the Kabah.’ With these words, everyone was comforted and the future caliphs were the ones who stopped the ones who would discriminate as to why a black slave will have the honor to call the Adha. And everyone had a sumptuous meal except Ubay who kept on touching his right ball with his right hand which was a bit of haram under his garb and he was weeping. And they were not tears of joy.(Singh recommends Paul Mc Cartney’s “Ebony and Ivory” with Stevie Wonder, based on James Aggrey’s 1920s The Keys journal, 1982 and also, Gicard-Carli’s “Amor” by Julio Iglesias, 80s -Ed.)
36 Narrated Bilal on the authority of the Sidiqeen on governance as the prophet foretold: “On the final day of fast, they set out again for the desert. This time Ubay said that he will no longer come with them for he will be joining his clan for the feast. The prophet said, ‘I respect your decision but all of us are coming back again to join our families. However, out there, there will be the greatest blessing in Al-Mansari, for it will determine who will be the ones who will lead my people when I am already gone. Can you not even share this holy hour with me?’ And of course, Ubay changed his mind not because of the hour of holiness but because of the prospect of prestige of being Muhammad’s successor. Even if he will not be chosen, he will have earlier information on who to eliminate and if he was chosen, he can start planning things for his reign. And since he was walking behind because of his new posture Ali kindly made a staff of the date palm branches to serve as his staff and the rest he improvised a playing rod which are used in Bedouin parades which could amuse even children.
On the way, they were already eyeing stones in preparation for the blessing and Ubay, excused as he was for walking slower, made it a point to load some stones underneath his garb, and even had mistaken some hardened dung in his haste, making his walk more difficult. All of these were known to the watchers, the blue jinns who had converted to Islam since they were engaged by the prophet, in the first place.
But they were mistaken. On the tryst, Muhammad only waited for the very tired Ubay to arrive and then he announced, ‘Each one must have a stick because this will symbolize the scepter of power, a goading rod to the restless goats, a lance in your jihad as befitting of my successors.’ When Uthman and Umar gazed at Ubay’s staff he recoiled so violently such that the stones and dung he was hiding fell and said, ‘This is mine. Ali gave this to me. Go find your own!’ The prophet almost laughed for he can see the jinns in mirth as they pointed at the dung pieces. Then, Abu Bkr asked, ‘Since we are in the wilderness, can we just share from Ali’s stave?’ The prophet nodded and they equally divided the pole amongst themselves. ‘Indeed, you men are blessed for five will be the pillars of Islam and have shown yourselves to be real brothers.’ Ubay was elated, for he thought he was to be the tallest pillar but the prophet, humble as he was, kept it to himself that he counted himself among the five.
When the time of the blessing came, they arranged the sticks side by side and Ubay insisted that his staff will be placed at the center so that Allah will not miss it when his prophet gave the blessing. And suddenly, something fell from each one and immediately the sticks and the staff vanished. Not waiting for anyone to explain, especially his cheesy father-in-law, Muhammad said,’ You are blessed indeed among men for you shall have long penises from now on such that your wives will no longer long for anything longer.’ And Umar exclaimed in his usual patronizing way, ‘Muhammad, you are diwan and only prophet of Allah; We men are indeed blessed. Our wives will never long for anything much longer!’ And the prophet added another blessing when he said, ‘And because of your faith, you will have the strength of thirty men because Allah gave me forty. Know this much then, the penis mightier than the sword.’ Everyone was exuberant except Ali who thought he would not have any need for it because he loves Fatima. But when they returned to feast with their families, Ubay lagged behind. The prophet said of him when they entered Medina, ‘That man can never be happy. He is given everything his heart desires because he joins us and yet, is never happy with the results of his prayers.’(Singh recommends Barry Gibb’s “Spicks and Specks” by the Bee Gees, 1966 and also Nico Fidenco and Gian Marchetti’s “Legata a un Granello di Sabbia”by Nico Fidenco ,1961 and cover by Cliff Richard, 1965 -Ed.)
a.) But to this day, the blue jinns know their signature brand of doing things work. They will always accomplish the desires of men unto their perdition. Narrated Ibn a-Roh’ber: Levi, the blue jinn, said even while he was being buried alive in the sand by an avenging angel, “We are always here for Aladins, Saladins and Paladins. And one day, a treasure hunter will dig and Eureka, I will make him rich!”(Singh recommends Louie Ocampo’s “Blue Jeans” by the APO Hiking Society, 1987, and also Manoling Francisco’s “Tanging Yaman”by Carol Banawa, and later by Agot Isidro, 1976-Ed.)
b.) Now there is an addition to this hadesq, which inhabitants of Hades prefer to call these short narratives: [Ed. Note: Have thought otherwise, that they were written on desks in Hades.] Narrated Seleni ibn al-Lithy ibn al-Siliq on the authority of Umm Lithy; Ubay, the hypocrite and gossiper, was delayed in joining the return of the Prophet to Mecca because he was bothered by his very long penis which he used to knot over his right thigh for balance. There was this instance when during the caravan the she-camel he was riding made such terrible noises, that his wives riding on other camels, nagged her along the way for not being able to control himself so as to override a she-camel. ( Singh recommends Constancio de Guzman’s “Bulung-bulungan”by Diomedes Maturan and Juan Silos and His Orchestra, 50s and also Peter Allen and Carole Bayer Sager’s“Don’t Cry Out Loud” by Melissa Manchester, 1976 -Ed.)
c.) Another hadesq noted on the same page states: Narrated Ibn Ay-Aye and Ibn Aye-Thi; who were foreign captive slave camel drivers of Ubay that because of the wives’ furor, Ubay had to change camel but when the camel was changed the dangling thing made the camel ran so fast because it thought another leg was prodding or there was another whip making Ubay arrive first, far from his long caravan. (Singh recommends Clod Delfino and Robin Vega’s “Hahabul-Habol” from the movie Lo Waist Gang, by Bobby Gonzales,1958 and also Paul Anka’s “Lonely Boy” by himself, 1958-Ed.)
d.) The last hadesq is from the same apocryphal book, Saheeh Ubayyi 6: 66 in which Umm Lithy narrated that two of Ubay’s wives died just after the blessing made by the prophet when he went into them. There were times when Ubay is seen with a tail that leaves even its mark on the sand and some even gossiped that he had a pet snake. Except that Bilal, who was in a hurry to run an errand one day, accidentally stepped on its head and Ubay was sick for a week prompting the prophet to pay 30 dirhams for his injury profit. Bilal even naively thought that he had killed the pet and that Ubay lamented over its loss for a week. And this is when Ubay learned that because of his hypocrisy, a blessing became a curse.(Singh also suggests for the three hadesqs b, c and d: Mark Gordon and Joseph Mirrow’s “You Make Me Feel So Young”sung by Vera Ellen and Charles Smith in the movie, “Three Little Girls in Blue”, 1946 and later into a hit by Frank Sinatra, 1959, and also, Tony Maiquez and Levi Celerio’s “Pitong Gatang “ from the movie, Pitong Gatang, by Fred Panopio, 1960 -Ed.)
37 On the authority of Mariyah, the Copt as told to her sister Sirin: “The prophet was very much furious one time and when I asked he told me that he asked a transient princess to give herself to him in marriage but this princess thought him to be just an ordinary man and refused. She even said that she is a Yemeni princess and he is not someone who can just approach her. And then when I stayed quiet, he nudged me and asked, ‘What can you say about that? She must not have known that I’m a real prophet to just dismiss like Im just an ordinary man!” And so, I said, ‘She must be a prophetess, not just a princess.’” (Singh recommends “Muntik Nang Maabot ang Langit” by True Faith,1995 and also Lucas Paredes and Joseph Lansang’s “Binibini”, by the Brownman Revival, 2005 -Ed.)
38 On the authority of Chakwati Farmas, Hindu convert into Islam: the Brindaranayke Upanishad VI, 6:6:7, 4:6:7 states;” If one should not grant him his desire, he should bribe her and if she still does not grant him his desire, he should hit her with a stick or with his hand and overcome her ‘with power, with glory, I take away your glory!’ Thus, she is without glory.” Hence, I find the Muslim treatment of women very similar to how we treat women in Hinduism. Therefore, I enjoin the prophet to preach Islam to Hindu men and I know that they will be receptive. (Singh recommends “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, The Rolling Stones, 1965 and also Rafael Gaston Perez and Carlos Albert Martaloni “Cuando Calienta El Sol” by Los Hermanos Rigual, 1961 -Ed.)
a.) Sharia law had been proven biased against women and children, the very ones that Islam should be defending including victims of rape, wife-beating , child abuse. Now, there was this case of a lady named Soraya. Soraya’s brother had been dating a girl from a rich influential family. Although both came from Muslim families, the family of the girl decided to take revenge on the boy’s family for “his taking advantage of her.” As an act of revenge, they decided to make public their plan of raping Soraya the sister, because could not get hold of him. Soraya and her father decided to seek peace and apologize for her bother. They were accompanied by another male relative. Soraya carried the Koran to show their sincerity but when they arrived at the household, the family patriarch ordered to do anything to her as they pleased them. The men were beaten and placed on hold as the men of the family started to rape her one by one, in spite of her pleading with the Koran. The holy book was just thrown on the side. When she complained to authorities, the rapists were arrested but later released for no apparent reason. When cornered, the Shariah judge who dismissed the men said that as a reasonable ruling the rapists of the respondent family may be raped by women of Soraya’s family, a judgment that the rapists found very acceptable. (Singh recommends Sir Lancelot’s “Shame and Scandal” based on the “Fort Holland Calypso Song” in 1943 from the movie “I Walked with a Zombie”, released by Lord Melody in 1962 as “Wau Wau” and resumed by Clint Eastwood and General Saint in their cover, 1983. And also The Shadows’ “Why Wasn’t I Born Rich?”1967. -Ed.)
b.) To outwit the foxy Sharia judge, Soraya and her father sought the help
of the wealthy Sikh merchant Sarvan Rahjani who paid HIV-infected prostitutes to act as Soraya’s cousins and half-sisters and these women executed the just ruling. They raped the men repeatedly to their delight. When they started to get sick, even the doctors and Ayurveda experts they consulted gave them placebo medicine for they were also paid in full by the Sikh to get even more sick. All these men died eventually because of the viral amount that infected them.

39 Narrated Sirin, the sister of Mariyah, the Copt: “The exchanges between the women in the life of the prophet propagated themselves in various forms across the culture currents of the Medina population. There were slave versions, matronly observations and even bourgeois aversions. These mongerings even included the past, the present and the future as the old ways of Yathrib gossip persisted.” On the notoriety of Singh, however, the wildest rumors proven as fake news or false are as follows:
1.) Khadijah’s prowess as a merchant will be honored in the Kadiwa.
2.) Sawda will be honored as the name of a fleet of large flying vehicles.
3.) Aysha will be the name of a continent.
4.) Hafsha will be 50% of every economic commodity.
5.) Safiyah will be a body of mystical knowledge.
6.) Ramlah and Ramiyah built Rome.
7.) Juwariyah will be the name of a fairy, even of a drag queen.
8.) Fakitah will be invisible.
9.) Umm Salama and Umm Habiba along with the others will be chanted by
Hindus and Buddhists honoring their titles.
10.) Fatima will be honored by Catholics.
11.) Zaynab bint Jashs will cause problems in Sharia inheritance.
12.) Zaynab, the mother of the poor will be forgotten by the rich.
13.) Mariyah will be the prophet’s bitterness.
14.) Laylah will go to jail.
15.) Ghaziya will form a terrorist group against Bharat.
16.) Al-Jariyah will have 72 virgin men in heaven.
17.) Tukana was cursed and changed into a bird.
18.) Maymunah will cause the moon to split, and shall frighten again an
angel, this time with a chihuahua.
19.) The Hints will give clues and the Hinds, bigger clues.
20.) The prophet said more women will go to hell but more men will go to
asylums because of him.
21.) Mulayka’s ghost haunts the place where she was found dead.
22.) The slain poetess Asma’s ghost is reported to be appearing in her
former home with a dagger in her chest speaking the name of the
the prophet.
23.) The Coptic sisters organized a feminist group of Ansari women called
Gibrailah which invokes Archangel Gabriel as Protector.
24.) One of those women divorced right away by the prophet right after
marriage was a man embarrassing him to the utmost because he can
not detect through the habijah or he really knew it but decided
against it because the harem women might learn.
25.) One of the women of the harem practiced witchcraft undetected and
cursed additions to the harem on their way to meet the prophet and
this is the reason why they died on travel.

40 Narrated Mariyah Quptiyya to her sister, Sirin: to pray silently and secretly for Mulayka bint Kaab’s soul because she was only forced to marry Allah’s apostle so that the invasion of Mecca will be avoided but still “Muhammad’s men killed her father and so she asked to be divorced for her marriage brought naught and he consented. After a few weeks, she was found dead. I wish the extra judicial killings will stop and the death squad be dissolved. I told this to the prophet to his face but he just would not admit for he was steeped in pride as he wanted to be above Lord Isa and Prophet Musa in everything.”[Singh recommends The Platters’ ”My Prayer”,1936 ( originally “Avant de Mourir”,1926 ) music by Georges Boulanger; lyrics by Carlos Barrera and Jimmy Kennedy and also Alberto Tesla, Tony Ranis, Mark Maari, Carole Bayer Sager and David Forster’s “The Prayer” by Celine Dione and Josh Groban, 1999 -Ed.]
41 Narrated by Mikhaila, Queen of the Hadjaras: “ My husband Shamael is the king of the the Bani Hadjaras. Ours is only a small tribe but my husband enjoys playing King as our catch from the sea is plentiful and we have an oasis filled with dates. He had a crown made from himself from the other side of the sea and it is set with so many gems. He likes wearing it in public as he claimed that he is a real shah because of his lineage. He had also a diadem made for me but I do not like wearing it, so much so that he threatened to have someone else from among his women wear it. Then one day, a wandering pilgrim came and said he was a Christian in search of the missing Ark of the Covenant. When my king asked him about his quest and why it was so important for him, he said, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God for not even your crown can save you from harm. It could even mean a disaster for you and your small kingdom.’ This angered the king and he would not let the stranger any more use any of our boats. But I secretly helped him cross into Africa to search for the Ark for I believed in him. (Singh recommends George Harisson’s “Do You Want to Know a Secret?” by the Beatles, 1963 and also Paul Anka’s “Put Your Head on My Shoulder” by himself, 1959-Ed.)
42 Narrated Mikhaila, Queen of the Bani Hadjaras: My husband, Shamael, the King was one of those who worship at the Kaba but Muhammad, the prophet of Islam prohibited all forms of worship there except their own and so, Shamael asked that a figure of Dagu be made so that he can continue to worship him. I just don’t understand why a man would worship a beastly creature like that with scales and fish-like tail. ( Singh recommends Paul Mc Cartney’s “Michelle” by the Beatles, 1965 and also Jeff Barry and Andy Kim’s “Sugar, Sugar” [animated] by the Archies, 1969-Ed.)
43 Narrated by Sheikh Rachim Ruhol on the authority of the Al–Tibb al–Nabawi as interpreted by Ibn Tamiyyah and also on the authority of Al-Jzasi and al-Davendash, Islamic practitioners of Al Raqya (Exorcism): “Affliction by spirits which necessitate Raqya involved those which are afflicted by witchcraft and the evil eye, Zar red jinnis, shabah, or ghosts haunting a person or place and chiatin, alruwh alharisa or demons. The exorcism starts with purification of the body and place of the person. Gold or superstitious jewelry is removed from the afflicted person and his place made clean of all forms of idolatry or animated pictures. Shirks or talismans are never used because they are idolatrous. Sometimes, the person is only afflicted by a jinni which he accidentally hurts or insults by urinating or throwing hot water as they usually invisible to the eyes. Sometimes, the person’s qarin is told to help but it is known that saytan also whispers evil to people aside from the qarin. White glove is worn by the exorcist and placed on the head while the quran is recited. Usually the throne verse, ayatulh cursi is read. Sometimes, honey and water are used to purify the patient’s body and soul and also, the patient’s quarters. In the end, the Qul or the three last surats of the Quran are read and these are the al Ikhlas, on fidelity, Al Falaq, the Dawn and An– Nas, on mankind. [Singh recommends “Shake, Rattle and Roll” composed by Charles F. Calhoun (Jessie Stone) and sung by Big Joe Turner in 1954 and also Barry Mason and Les Reed’s “The Last Waltz” by Engelbert Humperdinck, 1967 -Ed.]
44 Narrated by Suhaib Ibn Mutalib: “My brother Mustapha Ibn Mutalib who was given men by the prophet to scout for possible tribes to be raided and converted took the route by the sea and we chanced upon the Hadjaras. We pretended to be wandering traders, at first and the king wearing his splendid crown, looked contemptuously at our wares, for he said he had a lot coming by way of Africa. Mustapha coveted the crown instantly, and I thought he meant it for the prophet, but he told me, ‘Why do we have to tell him everything when he has everything already?’ And so, I kept quiet knowing his temperament. But I was very much afraid for myself because he is the prophet and he might know of this greed. When Mustapha ordered the attack, we subdued the tribe in no time for they were a tribe of only fishermen and date-growers who were greatly exploited by their king. Mustapha himself slayed the king and told us that he did not want men prisoners except those who appear stronger to be sold as slaves. I pretended stabbing the others to make sure they are dead as ordered but I could not take it anymore and so, I just covered my sword with blood so that the others can still live. But the women and children, we started dividing among ourselves. Then on our return home, Mustapha started wearing the crown and bribed all the men so as not to tell the prophet of the crown and the other spoils or suffer instant death with their families. (Singh recommends Katyna Ranieri’s ‘Te guarde nel coure’ translated to “More” by Teddy Randazzo, 1962 and also Rod Mc Kuen’s “Theme Song” of the the movie, ”The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” by himself, 1969 -Ed. )
45 Narrated by Shuhaib , the only survivor among the marauding raiders: “But suddenly a gale came out from the sea and brought a great sandstorm around us. We were astonished to find that we were being buried in the sand by the great wind. Quite strangely, I found myself being pulled out of the sand as I saw my comrade warriors and their horses being buried alive. I was filled with awe when I saw all the prisoners intact. The queen pointed at me, and someone asked, ’An enemy survivor!’ But someone said, ‘Mother, it is the man who saved us. He did not stab us but just pretended. Please spare him!’ and she answered with a smile as two men held me, “Yes, my prince, we will spare the good man.” Then the prince saw something sparkling on the sand and pointed it to the Queen. “Nobody touches that,’ she said, ‘For it is the cause of our misfortune. That crown is gilded with the miseries of an exploited people and now, it is sprinkled with the blood of ignominy.’ They asked me if I would like to come with them and I said, ‘Yes.’ And all of a sudden, I felt liberated from an evil prison. The Hadjaras decided to cross into Africa after that and to seek the Kingdom of God. (Singh recommends Louiguy. Marguerite Monnot’s “La Vie En Rose” by Edith Piaf, 1946 and also, Jose Estrella’s “Ang Maya” by Nati de Arellano, 1929 -Ed.)
46 Narrated by Dag Ohoy of the blue sea winds and Usedhi, the marid dry jinn: “We saw the raiders on the way back to Mecca and so I raised a great gale and Usedhi brought forth a big heap of sand such that we directed the sandstorm unto the marauders until they are buried, and we simply avoided the captives, so that they can survive. And then, when the Hadjaras were gone, we removed the sand about to suffocate the vile Mustapha, and let him behold the crown he coveted. ‘The crown, the crown it’s mine!’ he cried. ‘Get it!’ we said, but he could not, for it is only its head protruding from the ground. ‘Tell him, Ohoy,’ Usedhi said and so, I told the miserable man,’ Sorry but the crown is not for a Bedouin like you. That crown is for the lonely desert.’ And then, we allowed the king to see his crown for the last time and told its cut head to get it, but it could not for, it did not have its body and limbs to crawl. ‘ Suit yourself!’ we said, and finally made him die. Then Usedhi whistled and suddenly an ifritz came and smashed Mustapha’s head with a big boulder. Usedhi said, ‘Thank you Mu Rouge, and oh, this is Ohoy,’ and so I also said, ‘Thank you’.

47 Narrated by Diyan Masalanta, anito of the islands: “ Before the Castillans came, the islands had already been thriving in commerce brought in by Indian and/or Arab traders along with the Chinese. The Indians would either come from Mumbai or Malaka and spread out their wares as Bharat showcases. The native Malays will refer to these Hindu-Muslim flea markets as baratan for they can bargain with things they can barter and call the wares cheap, barato. We local anitos find it easy to trade with them by asking men familiar with us. We see in some of them the traces of the Kauravas since they introduced locally a game to profit from the Taga–ilog, those who live by the river, and the inhabitants of Pampangan, or inhabitants of the shores; more with a game of chance called kara or kuros. The Qara side painted with the face of a beautiful woman while the other side is painted with either a swastika or a triskelion (the broken cross). Hence, if the object is thrown up, one wins if what he has chosen; face or cross comes out. (Singh recommends Plantation Melodies’ “Down by the Riverside” Fisk University Quartet, 1922, and later by Louis Armstrong; and also, Deogracias A. Rosario and Nicanor Abelardo’s “Mutya ng Pasig”,1926, later performed by Irma Ponce-Enrile Potenciano-Ed.)
48 Narrated Agni, the fire god who followed his followers to the islands: “When the Spaniards came, the bharat stores were renamed baratillos or cheap markets while the game kara or kurus became cara y cruz, with the introduction of the Spanish coin.” (Singh recommends Al Stillman and Robert Allen’s “Chances Are” by Johnny Mathis, 1957; and also Robby Krieger’s “Light My Fire” by Jim Morrison and The Doors, 1967 and also Danny Holmsem’s “Binibini ng Palengke” by Nora Aunor, 1973 -Ed.)
a.) Agni however is very pleased with the Hindu tradition of Sati where virtuous and chaste wives honor their dead husband and family by burning in the funeral pyre of their husbands. Although already outlawed even during the British colonial period, this 4th century tradition still spurts every now and then in India. If the husband dies, a woman of very great virtue should voluntarily have herself burned with her husband. Otherwise, if she prefers to live, she avoids social activities, eat only boiled rice, shave her head and sleep only on thin matting for bed. Of course, not every widow would be willing to die this way, and so some are drugged with bhangs (They were bang–ag with opium or cannabis.) and some are dragged to their death by being secured with cords, bamboos or logs. The act itself is a supreme sacrifice immolating the first Sati, who was actually the goddess Dakshayani who burned herself to death after her father Daksha’s humiliation of her husband, Shiva. Hence, a Sati is rewarded with a great reward in her next life even for her husband and immediate relatives for seven generations. This is why, a Sati is celebrated as a saint by her family aside from the vested interest of having her possessions and that of her husband after her death. (Singh recommends Adrian Torre and Manuel Villar, Sr.’s “Mahiwaga” by Kuh Ledesma, 70s and also Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart’s [other claims it’s Cole Porter’s] “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered” by Vivienne Segal, 1940 -Ed.)
b.) As one must have noticed, the principle of Sati is anchored in the Buddhist belief in reincarnation and Hindu belief of, not only reincarnation but also of the transmigration of souls. In reincarnation, a man may have multiple lives until he reaches nirvana or enlightenment. Likewise, in Hinduism, perfection is reached after a series of multiple lives except that in accordance with karma, the soul of a person may be downgraded into a life (transmigration)as an animal such that, a person who may like chewing candy or gum, may find himself a ruminant if he had so much karmic debts. In the religions of the people of the book, there is only one life and after that comes judgement. Lost souls who lost their chance of a one-way ticket could end up as balls of fire or ghosts if they still do not adhere to the Will of God. In Catholicism, the soul of the dead who accepts the will of God at least is given purgation until he becomes worthy of heaven.

49 Narrated Zaynab bint Jashs, who is tanner like Sauda: “The prophet is also an inventor. Concerned that women might become adulterous when the men are fighting far away, he asked to fashion a leather contraption which has the shape of a man’s organ and allowed me to experiment on it myself until it is already effective for use. Hence, I also profited from it. I told Sauda about it but she does not want to have anything about it.

50 Narrated Abu Khutaym, the father of Layla bint Khutaym and on the permission of Abi Khutaym, the original tongue-lasher: “Layla, my daughter is an adventurer and finding the prophet quite exotic, he smacked the behind of the prophet and proposed to become his wife and finding her wonderfully different, he consented. When Layla sought our permission, we were aghast. We told her that she could not survive a polygamous marriage because she is jealous and tongue-lashing. She will definitely find herself the target of a character assassination attempt from the dynamic duo’s party and that of Jaynab’s. And so, Layla finally relented and we personally went to represent her and bringing some gifts, we advised the prophet, may peace be upon him, to avoid a tragedy for we made a lie that he was the cause of the death of five suitors already and he might become the seventh, and so, he consented”.

51 Narrated by Mariyah Al-Quptiyya and her sister Sirin: “We have seen the oppression of women in the emerging Muslim society and therefore we decided that we must, in our own little way help the Ansari women. We can easily see how the men maltreat their wives and daughters especially the slaves who do not have any rights. We have organized the support group we called Gibhrailah and invoke the real Archangel Gabriel against the menace done by its impostor. For the meantime, all we can do is treat those who are injured by the pigs and counsel those who are terrorized by dogs. Someday, we hope to seek help in the influential wives in the harem of the prophet for we know that they, too are victims.” (Singh recommends Jose Corazon de Jesus and Constancio de Guzman’s “Bayan Ko”, theme from the zarzuela, “Walang Sugat”, 1928 and also Tito Arevalo’s “Irog, Ako ay Mahalin” cover by Ric Manrique, Jr., 50s -Ed.)
52 Narrated the Coptic sisters; Mariyah and Sirin: “ Of course we wanted some great support for our sorority and we really thought it best to have someone from the harem as our adviser or supporter and we thought of Zaynab, the tanner. On the night we invited her, there were different questions on different topics because apparently, this lady knows a lot of things. She knew how make facials to smoothen the skin and also to cut patterns for better styled habijahs and abayas or ways of seeing things better through the burqah. But what brought the house down was her advices on making the husbands happier so that the women will not think of divorce. Al-Ghazali squirmed next to us and whispered that the women might end up like prostitutes. In the end, she opened her big leather bag and started selling leather sex gadgets for the women to use when their husbands are away and oily ointments to act as scents or lubricants. She even bragged that actually the former is the prophet’s invention. On the question why she finds life exciting with the prophet, she unabashedly answered, ‘It’s the profits and also the periodic challenge of quarrelling with other wives especially Aisha.’ Al-Ghazali remarked that she is one of a kind and we can just nod. However, many of those who attended found her speech-demo liberating as some realized that there are so many things to do in life than just wait upon husbands.

53 Narrated Sheik Rachim Ruhol as reported by his trade spy: “The assassin who killed the Jewess poetess Asma binth Marwan had been having sleepless nights after having been congratulated for the poetess’ murder. Actually, he had been to Marwan to apologize and even to offer his life. But the as a good man who loved the poetess, Marwan found it in his heart to forgive him and only wished for his family, peace especially for the orphaned children. Actually, he said, he has renounced Judaism just to find peace in the new dispensation which his wife scoffed at. The forgiveness that Omar Ibn Radi received did not help him in any way because he still felt he was being followed by a malignant spirit which meant him harm. On the day he appeared to the prophet for any possible help, he had been suffering from fever because of his exposure to the elements running away from a relentless ghost that follows him during the night. But the prophet, busy as he was and dismissing it to be just his imagination tried to console him by asking Abu Sado to get something from the war booty which might relieve him of his distress. Abu Sado gave him a trinket of 30 big silver beads and led him out so that he can rest. He wore it, and for the first time, after so many nights, he was able to sleep. (Singh recommends Paul Francis Webster and Sammy Fain’s “A Very Precious Love”, sung by Gene Kelly in the movie, “Marjorie Morningstar”, 1957 and also Eddie Cooley and Otis Blackwell’s “Fever” by Little Willie John, 1956, cover by Peggy Lee, 1958 -Ed.)
54 Narrated Abu Sado, trade spy of the Sheik to his master: “I do not know what really transpired but according to the witnesses who was first to arrive, a stranger even helped them with the story. And so, it went like this; Umar Ibn Radi woke up late before the evening prayer and was terrified to see that it was already dark. And then suddenly, this man appeared and showed himself to him. ‘Umar, I really came to see you now, to settle things that must be settled for the time is ripe for the reckoning.’ The man was handsome and had red flowing hair and clothing which showed that was is a Jew. ‘So, you must be the Wandering Jew? ’In a way, yes but I’m not the one which you are thinking of. But I am here to kill you as a vindication for Asma’s death. I despise people who are truly loyal like you for I am a traitor.’ He held him with such strength that he could not move. ‘This trinket I wear; Abu Sado said they are expensive, for it is made of silver. I will give it to you in return for my life.’ But when he mentioned the word silver, his features changed and he transformed into a terrible demon with fangs with the gray uneven skin. ‘I despise silver, you fool!’ And he bit him on the neck as the silver pieces fell in the struggle. In the morning, the man they identified as the Wandering Jew was there and told them, the whole story as he said he was witness to it. But when we were dispatched by the prophet to find him, even he was nowhere to be found. Such that the prophet remarked ‘What pestering Jews they are!’”( Singh recommends Restie Umali and Levi Celerio’s “Saan Ka Man Naroroon”by Ric Manrique, Jr., 60s and also Josefino Cenizal’s “Hindi Kita Malimot”, cover by Pedro Concepcion, 50s and likewise, Larry Miranda’s “Marupok na Sumpa” trans. of Carlos Eleta Almaran 1956 song “Historia de Un Amor” by Rodelfo Lesica from the Panamanian movie with the same title by Hector Varela and His Orchestra, 1963 and popularized by the cover of Trio Los Panchos -Ed.)
55 Narrated Abu Lakan, the informer of the Taghlib caravan: “My master, the Malak of the Taghlib of Northern Arabia wanted to solidify its relationship with Medina for Yathrib and Taglib were sister states in the past. In consultation with the royal elders they chose the beautiful Khawla bint Hudhayl as the proposed bride to the prophet. Khawla did not mind at all for there was always a talk about her marriage as there were many suitors. The proposal was sent to Medina at once, and the prophet’s answer was affirmative after consulting the Medina elders. When Khawla learned about it, she broke in tears but did not say anything. The mother knew that her daughter does not want to marry an old man and fasted right away so that her destiny might change. Melek Hudhayl however thought it was natural since she will be missing a lot of things that she was familiar with, especially her family. But since it was an honorable responsibility for her as a princess, she was prompt in her preparations and soon, our caravan was on its way. Midway to Medina however at nightfall, a certain raven sat on the camel she was riding and she did not even notice. It left when some of the warriors approached to shoo it away. After that, the princess was already ailing and she asked that we rest for a while. ( Singh recommends Louie Ocampo and Jim Paredes’ “Ewan” by the APO Hiking Society, 1982 and also Francisco Buencamino’s “Inday ng Buhay Ko” Victor Wood remake ,60s -Ed.)
56 Narrated Abu Lakan the messenger of Taghlib; “The onset of the princess’ sickness was sudden that we were in consternation. The ladies in waiting brought her a makeshift tent the men made and they discovered that she has two small punctures on the neck apparent in the moonlight. Some lady asked, ‘Princess, did anything bite you?’ She shook her head, ‘No, I must have dozed off, I dreamt some red-haired prince kissed me on the neck. He said he was my official escort sent for the bride.’ After that, she was in convulsions and after only a few hours, turned so pale that we knew she has died. Nobody saw a serpent. She did not even show a toxic foam but appeared totally without blood. The minister ordered two of us to bring the sad news right away on horseback. I was assigned to Medina and saw the shock in the prophet’s eyes. He was not given this prescience. When I was about to leave after being given some meal and drink, I passed by a row of rooms where I saw a lady with a raven on her left forearm. I inquired about it but the majordoma of the slaves told me not to mind it for some women in the harem kept pets like birds and cats but never dogs. And she sternly reminded me not to look again because the harem is forbidden to all men and even the ladies could be punished if they looked out. It was a frightening coincidence for me which I chose never to reveal.( Singh recommends John Lennon’s “Do you Want to Know a Secret?” by the Beatles and also, Leopoldo Silos’ “Dahil sa Isang Bulaklak” by Ric Manrique, Jr. 1967 -Ed.)
57 Narrated Abu Lakan, Chaperone of the Taghlib Bride: “The Taghlib as honorable men despite the fact that they have just mourned for the Princess Khawla began negotiations right away to have a substitute bride. This time, the one chosen was an aunt of Khawla who was older only by bloodline for she was also young and beautiful; the wise Sharaf bint Khalifa. If I were only rich, I would venture into asking for her hand myself. But as it, I am just a poor Taghliban whose only pride is my warrior instinct. It so happened that Khalifa had a Christian friend who heard everything from the ladies in waiting. And though, Sharaf found it strange, she was given a silver neck ornament with cross designs to wear during the trip. For the best warriors, Khalifa also had us wear light silver armor for added protection. Secretly, Khalifa and the superstitious Christian meet us secretly about a monster they call a vampire which could be invisible at times and hates silver. ‘It will try to attack you by the neck because it failed miserably by his neck when he hung himself,’ he said. Khalifa helped explaining that the massas damaa comes in different forms for he is a clever monster. He has died already and even the earth ate him up but Hades does not want him there. He roams around till kingdom come thirsting for dima, its only nourishment since it has betrayed the Precious Blood of Christ for thirty pieces of silver. ‘Are you referring to Iscariot?’ I asked, ‘but he was crucified and died on the cross.’ The Christian shook his head, ‘No, Christ died on the cross and lived again. Isa by resurrecting himself proved that He is God.’(Singh recommends Tina Belarmine’s “Go Tell the World of His Love”,1995 and also Paul Francis Webster and Sammy Fain’s “Secret Love” by Doris Day, 1953 -Ed.)
58 Narrated Abu Lakan, the Taghliban warrior: “ It was exactly a moon ago when we were on the way to Medina again accompanying another princess of our Malakhi. Briefed for any eventuality, we saw large bird descend from the sky in the moonlit night and we charged right away as it landed behind the princess. I took the courage to get the princess who was already in swoon and brought him to the rest of us while the others fought the bird off, and which has transformed into a caped man with red hair. Immediately, they attacked him but he was very strong and agile despite being unarmed. He simply, threw the men unto the sands. We all saw his transformation into a monster. I remembered what the Christian taught us and with all my power, thrust my sword overlaid with silver and with miniature crosses into its chest. It was my turn to be astonished as it growled, and shrieked and hiss in pain trying to remove the silver blade. After some distance of having the entity, holding another blade to decapitate it, I shouted, “Die Iscariot, die!’ However, it managed to remove my first sword and suddenly leaped into the air on the wings of giant bat. Midmorning, still recovering from the midnight vigil guarding the princess and the skirmish with the vampire; we were surprised to see the arrival of Uthman, the prophet’s emissary. He read: ‘The Prophet Muhammad having been informed of the Taghliban’s defection to Christianity hereby informs the breaking of the contract as sealed between the two parties. The princess Sharaf will go back now in salaam. And he tore the contract before they left. The princess as if awakened from a nightmare laughed unabashedly and we chuckled in relief after her. Uthman actually saw the crosses on our armors and on the princess solid silver choker and it was evidence enough of our defection. I realized that Muhammad as a prophet really had the prescience to know that Sharaf will not be a loyal bride to him and that we are Christians at heart, even if he had not seen us arrive in Medina.’” (Singh recommends Paul Francis Webster and Sammy Fain’s “April Love” by Pat Boone in the movie, “April Love”,1957 and also, Mike Velarde, Jr. and Dominador Santiago’s ”Dahil Sa Iyo” by Rogelio de la Rosa from the movie, “Bituing Marikit”,1938 -Ed.)
59 Narrated Mariyah al-Quptiyya to her sister, Sirene: “I know that Al-Shanba binth Amr has insulted Allah’s apostle. But what she said was true. When Ibrahim started to feel sick, he had started praying to Allah for his recovery while I prayed to Jesus to do God’s will. But it was my secret prayer that was answered. For sinful that I am, how can I still face my Judge if my son will become heir to a great heresy that would defy our God. I shudder at the thought that Abraham will even become the leader of his religion someday. God is so good; he just took my son in his age of innocence and thwarted Muhammad’s plan to use a Christian child to continue a great lie. Unknown to him, I have already given him extreme unction oil as a layman would do, as I have no one else to turn to. How I admire Al-Shanba of the Quraysha, for having that wisdom. She did not lose anything when he divorced her. In fact, that is exactly the reason why I do not want to marry him because it will not add up to anything for my person but rather, should I lose my soul?” ( Singh recommends Barry and Robin Gibbs’ “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?” by the Bee Gees, 1971 and also James Pankow’s “Color My World” by Chicago, 1971 -Ed.)
60 Narrated Sheik Rachim Ruhol on the Asma hauntings: “It was reported that the shirk of the poetess Asma was still haunting her abandoned house. She was sighted with a dagger plunged on her breast and wailing poetry against the prophet. The prophet was already told about these phenomena but he just scoffs at the idle tattlers as he calls them. He even said that how can she still be haunting when she is already in hell suffering for slandering him. But one time, the ghost appeared to some men as someone writing something on the sand. When they approached, it was a woman with a dagger imbedded in her chest. It was Asma, the poetess. Of course, they fled, but in the morning when they already had the courage, they returned and they saw the following scrawled on the sand: ‘The prophecy will be given to you, o murderer!
By someone who is a splendid dancer
She will tell you the story of your life
As one whose glory is bloodied in strife.’
After they have committed the message to their heart, a sidewinder emerged from the sand and scrawled its own writing erasing the shirk poetry. Till that time, nobody has ever thought about it for the assassin had long been dead.” “(Singh recommends Cuban artist, Ernesto Lecouna’s “Noche Azul”, {‘Gabing Mapanglaw’ } new arrangement by Peping de Leon and lyrics by Levi Celerio, Mabuhay Singers, 1963, and also Nick Kenny and J.F.Coots’ “Love Letters in the Sand”, by Pat Boone, 1963 -Ed.)
61 Narrated Sheik Rachim Ruhol on the Rasul Magada’s Dance of the Seven Veils: “It was the Eid of my sheikdom and I invited the prophet over to dinner and join our festivities. Since I was a new convert to Islam, I had no idea that music and dance was repulsive to him. I was even proud to invite the great Magada to dance the dance of seven veils for us. Magada was midway her dance when the prophet glaring at me said, “Why do you insult me, O Sheik Rachim, for this is scandalous?!’ But the dancer addressed him and firmly said, ‘O prophet, let me just finish my dance for I am already paid for this and then I’ll tell you something very important afterwards.’” (Singh recommends “Our Day Will Come” by the Spiral Staircase, 1969 and also Roni and Gilda Cordero’s “Hanggang” by Wency Cornejo, 2002 -Ed.)
62 Narrated Sheik Rachim Ruhol on Nabi Magada’s prophecy on Muhammad: “And so, she asked the music to resume as the prophet sat back awfully gazing at her. After her dance, she was fully naked with a large ruby on her navel and as all the men around stood to clap their hands, for they were all men, she started to speak as she started covering herself: ‘In my old age I will die at the bosom of the one who loved me for what I am for the poison has spread over the continent.’ For every veil she wrapped herself around, she spoke to the prophet and consequentially; this is what I recall is what she said: (second veil)’ In my middle age, my spouses served me individually, in each room and turn;’(third veil) “In my prime, I started to change the world and sedimented sand into a rock, throwing the worthless idols;’(fourth veil) In my adolescence, I played with living dolls;’ (fifth veil) ‘But I lost the one I love again and again;’ (sixth veil) and putting on the last veil she said, ‘The angels visited and purified my heart.’ Then, knowing that she was leaving, I ran after her and said, ‘What about me? Prophesy for me.’ But she said, ‘You paid for me to dance but he paid with me his presence.’ And she vanished in the night. Terribly shaken, it was Umar’s time to remind the prophet that each country has its Eid that which should be respected, and so the prophet and his sidiqeen all left in peace, awed and mystified at the mystical beauty of the prophetess from Magi.

63 Narrated Sirin, the Copt on the meeting between Rhiyanna and Safiyah: “I facilitated the meeting between the two Jewesses outside the harem on the pretext that they were going out to shop. I brought them to my sister’s house and I overheard their conversation. Safiyah said, ‘ I hope that you do understand my plight. If I did not consent to the marriage, my people will be totally wiped out. He is not an immortal you know. There will come a time that I will be free and go back to the faith of my ancestors which I have never abandoned. I just feel like I am Daniel in the lion’s den.’ Rhayhana embraced her and said, ‘Of course, I do understand you. Who am I to judge you. Perhaps, if I also have a lot of people to protect like those Jews that continue to work in the date farms of Khaybar pretending to be Muslims, I will do the same. But as it is, I bow to you as you welcome my embrace even if I am a mere slave. That to me is the real daughter of Judaism. As for me, this is enough expression of my faith and I am glad that this leviathan is still pleased with me.’ And they embraced again like sisters who have not seen each other for so many years.” (Singh recommends Doc Pomus and Mort Shawn’s “Save the last Dance for Me”, by the Drifters, 1960 and also, Francisco Santiago’s “Pakiusap” 1921 cover by Conching Rosal ,50s-Ed.)
64 Narrated Abu Sado on the supposed cruel treatment of criminals by the prophet: “As someone in charge of the inspectorate, I have never seen the prophet treat criminals unkindly but in accordance with their kind. Remember the sick men who became well after drinking camel urine and milk. They are so evil that they have to kill the owner of the camels after having benefited from him. I believe the torture and manner of their deaths are still mild considering their heinous and ungrateful crime. And those who die by stoning, it was only just because their hearts are hardened like rock and that is the only way by which their souls could become soft. Don’t they see yet the tolerance of the prophet? For if it were me, I would rather have the camel men eat camel dung first and the adulterers eat stones first.” (Singh recommends Chip Taylor’s “Wild Thing” by the Troggs, 1962 and also; Dolores O’Riordan’s “Zombie” by the Cranberries,2003-Ed.)
65 Narrated by Ghaziya bint Jabir on the authority of Al-Aliyah, the princess: “One night, there was a loud knocking at the door and so I rushed and saw Al Jariya, the dung collector and yet she had somebody with her. Inside, the woman also removed her face cover and said, ‘I am Fatima Al-Aliyah bint Zabyan al Dahhak also known as the other Al Jariya’. Confused, I asked them to sit down and they told me her true story. Like Al Jariya, the slave turned concubine, she was actually married to the prophet but Aisha and Hafsha made a ruse that made the prophet angry. They bribed a man to call her name from the Friday crowd and she made a mistake of peeping at the men outside the window. The two have arranged for the prophet to see the act and she did not give her any opportunity to explain. She was divorced and summarily dismissed but not allowed to leave Medina. I wept when I heard her story. With Mariyah, we later planned her escape into Egypt. So, there were two Al Jariyas working at Al Mansari working as dung-collectors. One was a slave and the other, a princess. How bitter it was to be a woman of this prophet especially when you catch the ire fire of his jealousy.

66. Narrated by Umm Salama and Umm Habiba: A slave was caught by Uthman one day sodomizing a she-camel and the prophet was furious and wanted the man stoned. But the two wives interceded because he was such a good slave and was dearly bought. Hint bint Abi Ummaya gave him a hint that it was better than the slave giving in to his aggression and targeting his own women while Ramla bint Abi Sufyan who is too loyal to pick on quarrels for him threatened a quarrel with him, which was rare thing for her to do. Thus, the prophet merciful as he was scared, spared him but still asked Uthman to give him one hundred lashes. Uthman realizing that he will be the one exerting too much energy asked why he still has to be flogged. To this the prophet replied, “For your effort of being righteous, and also, this raisin head Ethiopian missed the real target giving no satisfaction to the beast. Poor girl, touched for the first time but still a virgin!” (Singh recommends Steven Greenberg’s “Funky Town” sung by Cynthia Johnson and the Lipps, Inc., 1980 and also Bert Dominic’s “Ikaw ang Ligaya Ko”, popularized by Ric Manrique, Jr. and cover by The Lettermen, 2006 -Ed.)
67. Narrated by Al-Jariyah, on the authority of Asha’t D’Sharif, Chief Constable of Medina who caught the dung-collector, laughing on the street like mad, when investigated: There was an old lady who was baby-faced and who suckled young thumbs for she had smooth hands like that of a child who told me how he hated the prophet. Her name was Ghaziya bint Jabir and she said the messenger married her but marred her life thereafter, because he divorced her right away. “Why, what happened?” I asked Umm Sharik, “For you are beautiful. “ O yes, but when he went into me, he found out that I was already old. ‘But look who’s talking?’, I said to myself, for without garb, he looked like an overgrown dwarf with white hair and old large hands and feet and a large belly!” I laughed out loud and accidentally exclaimed, “I know. I know!” And so, Ghaziya held me and asked, “O Al-Jariyah, how come you know?!” And so, I told her the truth, “I’m her concubine but he sent me away because he said I am looking at the boys outside.” Then it was her turn to confess, “You see, I can only afford the ointment for my face and hands which I get from the Sur Jinn magians but not for my whole body. (additional note by the compiler: And that is how they started the secret Lonely Hearts Club Sorority of Medina.)[Singh recommends Carole King and Gerry Goffin’s “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?” by the Shirelles, 1960; and also by Paul Mc Cartney’s “When I’m Sixty Four” by the Beatles, 1967 -Ed.]
68. Narrated by Abu Huraira, the Adder: “One day the two fathers-in-law; Abu Bkr and Umar found Uthman flogging a black slave. Umar asked the prophet what the man has done to deserve such punishment and the two wives explained. But since they were just women, they still looked up to the prophet for the reason and he blurted out, ‘He wrongfully went into the beast.’ Realizing the gravity of the offense, the two future caliphs asked, and Uthman, another future caliph stopped to listen, for he was the one flogging, and to rest for a while. ‘If a man has no wages as to afford a bride, he can just make a hole on a melon. And if he is a slave he must ask the permission of its master, first. And if the she-camel is still a virgin he should have sought the permission of its parents by giving them fodder, and she should be careful so as to give it pleasure, too. And now, who among you men are believers? Who is going to give justice to this camel who was denied her pleasure.’ Hint and Ramla fled upon hearing this while Umar hid behind Abu Bkr. ‘You know it can not be Uthman anymore for he is already tired.’ Seeing the terror in the two other men’s faces, he approached the slave and said, ‘You earned it, man. But just do it another time. Just don’t let us know,’ he prodded until he nodded. And from then on, the caliphs understood the broad spectrum of jurisprudence.” ( Singh recommends Paul Francis Webster and Johnny Mandel’s “The Shadow of Your Smile” theme song from The Sandpipers, Andy Williams, 1965 and also “Salamat sa Alaala”by Cenon Lagman, 50s -Ed.)
69. Narrated Aisha: “Whenever the prophet will go on his rounds, I put scent on him and when he comes home, I require him to take a bath before he approaches me because I do not want the smell of the other wives to hold on to me. Whenever I detect a different honey on him, I can’t help thinking of the slaves and so, I just face Qiblah and not allow him to kiss me especially suck my tongue. For I can imagine his face, the countenance of an insect going from one flower to another. Then, to get back at the other women I let him forget that he is bathing in the water where my menses are diluted so that they will submit to my will as he does. Then I put scent on him for he likes perfumes and then I send him to them for they liked him perfumed.”(Singh recommends “Perfidia”by Alberto Dominguez Borras performed by Xavier Cougat, 1937 and also Mike Velarde, Jr. and Dominador Santiago’s “Lahat ng Araw [Silayan]” cover by Pilita Corrales, 60s -Ed.)
70. Al-Jariyah on the authority of Umm Sharik: Al-Jariya narrated that one night when she was at Al Mansari, she heard the men speaking among themselves while answering the call of nature that each of them will be given 72 wives in heaven amongst which 70 are hell dwellers and two real houris upon martyrdom. There was even an argument amongst them because some insisted that the 72 are houris while the others argued that the 70 had been purified and transformed into houris. They said that the 72 will always remain virgins and will remain beautiful forever. To this will be added the number of wives they married on earth. To this, Umm Sharik replied, “I wonder if we will be given the same great reward of virgins.” To this I recoiled and exclaimed, “O Umm Sharik, are you a woman who prefers women?!” But she answered, “Nonsense, I am just worried why all the men get the great reward and we get nothing! We are even given as part of the reward. Allah should also provide us with 72 virgin men and if there are any additional gift let not the husbands be counted.” (Singh recommends Irving Kahal and Sammy Fain’s “I Can Dream, Can’t I?”by the Skyliners, 1937 and also Gregorio Responso Labja’s “Usahay” cover by Susan Fuentes, 1961 -Ed.)
71 Narrated Umm Sharik on the inferiority of Al-Jariyah: “Al-Jariya said, ‘What about us concubines who were only forced to become one? Can I not get even a seventh of a man such that I can select only the crotch. Allah indeed had forgotten us. Are we not going to be rewarded? What a forgetful god he is!’ to this I countered,’ I will tell you a secret, Al-Jariyah. Mariyah al-Quptiyya, the only slave that Muhammad had given her own house to keep, told me that of the 72 real disciples Isa sent, one of them settled in Egypt and is one of those who wrote a book. His name is Maruk ( Saint Mark, the Evangelist preached in Egypt and established the Christian church there ) and he told him that Isa will reward the oppressed in the real heaven. Jibreel’s heaven which Muhammad believed is a counterfeit. This is why she did not give up her faith because the prophet would not convert.’ Again, Al-Jariya said,’ What a forgetful god he is.’ To this Ghaziya bint Jabir said, ‘Don’t despair, Al-Jariyah, for neither the prophet nor his god speak the truth.’ (Singh recommends Neil Diamond’s “I’m a Believer” performed by the Monkees, 1966; and also, Steve Gibb’s “She Believes in Me” by Ronan Keating and then more popularly, by Kenny Rogers, 1979-Ed.)
72 Narrated Ali, on the gossiping notoriety of Ibn Ubay: One night, Ali asked Abu Bkr, Umar and Uthman, “What are your thoughts concerning the great reward? I mean can we enjoy a woman who feels like glass, and has no fluids whatsoever in her body?” Uthman said” Regardless, for how many men could afford 72 women here on earth, and a big house with 8,000 slaves?” And Umar replied, “And yes, for they have full breasts that will never sag and are ever virgins no matter how many times…” Abu Bkr added, ”And very appetizing, too!” But Ali said, “What if even the prophet is being duped by a false angel. For think about it, it quite a problem to oversee a harem of 72 + women and 8,000 slaves. And I think mine will not go erect if the women who are alike each other who did not have any lubricant at all are swarming over me; for how can they be appetizing if even their kisses are dry. Even the prophet will find it hard to suck the tongue of a houri. And besides I am already happy with Fatima. The men looked at each other and each of them rebuked him. “By Allah are you an unbeliever?” Uthman asked. “How can you believe in Muhammad if you don’t believe his angel?” Omar inquired. “the problem with you is you put the norms of earth over the standard of Jannah, “ concluded Abu Bkr. Hence, they held him until he prayed with them and profess his submission again. For they did not like him to have his own shahada first.

73 Narrated by Hafsha bint Umar: “I visited Umm Uthman one Friday as the men gather for the prophet’s kuthba and told her amusingly about how I expected his husband to have married me when I became a widow except that the prophet was eyeing me already for himself. ’Then we would have been rivals,’ she said, ‘And in Janna, you wouldn’t know to whom you would be given; to Jashsh or to Uthman. For in my case, it will only be Uthman for I wouldn’t marry even if he divorces me or I get to be a widow.’ I felt the condescending attitude but I did not mind for I was luckier than her for having married the prophet and so I said, ‘Not at all, I will be the water and you will be the binder and the man ( i.e. Uthman) will be the sand, for Muslim men are like sand for they follow from their prophet, brains and grains; in all which shall cement relationships at home.’ At this point, Uthman came in and was about to collapse but only did not because he saw me. I remarked as Umm Uthman propped him up, ‘What happened to you. Did someone punish you?’ He said, ‘It might as well be because I have to flog someone before prayer.’ And catching his breath, he told us the whole story. ‘Poor man,’ I remarked, while Umm Uthman said, ‘Poor camel,’ I said, ‘Why did you overdo it? 100 lashes could be as light as 100 eyelashes,’ I winked and the wife gave me a face. ‘What a foolish woman you are Hafsha to think that you can fool a prophet!’ And so I retorted to Uthman, all brains and sand grains, ‘And Uthman, if you were only Hafsha the man you are, you could have done better,’ and I rushed home for Allah’s apostle would be checking the attendance of his women.” (Singh recommends John Lennon’s “Girl” by the Beatles, 1965 and also Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein II’s “If I Loved You” by John Raitt and Jan Clayton in “Carousel”,1945 cover by Perry Como,1945 -Ed.)
74 Narrated Abu Sado who inspects the war booty and manages the equitable distribution thereof: “I have never seen the prophet negligent of his warriors. All those who participate in the war effort to deal with the infidels are given their share equally. All men captured are given the chance to profess Islam and to recognize the prophet as the only prophet of Allah and if they decline, we behead them after exalting Allah. Since the captured women differ in their qualities, we draw lots as to whom shall own each woman. We make them our wives if we have not met the maximum of four or simply make them our sex slaves. We are also allowed to sell them for our own profit like pregnant women and children. Of course, if the prophet finds a woman interesting, we defer her to him because we know that he is allowed by Allah. And yet, he is kind enough to pay for them so that we can still profit from our supposed loss.” (Singh recommends Nile Rodger’s “Le Freak” by Chic, 1978 and also Elton John and Bernie Taupin’s “Skyline Pigeon” by Elton John -Ed.)
75 On the authority of one’s konya is Hani, cousin of the prophet, and first love of the apostle, and convert of the messenger when her poet husband escaped: “One night while the prophet was contemplating, konyo as he was, on a different kind of honey he wished to extract, and gazing at the crescent moon he saw a flying object in the sky becoming bigger and bigger until to his amazement, it landed near the Kaba where he was sitting and leaning. It was a man sitting on a flying carpet which landed on the sand. He had been a prophet for some time, and he had never been blessed with such an ominous miracle let alone the help of jinns. And so, he thanked Allah from the bottom of his heart. Bowing low before him, he stood up straight when the prophet signed him to stand and show his face.’ Who are you and what contraption is this? Is this the newest prototype of the Jinniuses? Are you a man or a genie?’ To this barrage of questions, the man smiled, ‘ I am no genie, sir. I am Odracir, the Mage, a Magian from the Magi tribe, a Maguceen from the Mede-Persian empire. This, sir, is a magic carpet and its GPS brought me here.’ The prophet thought awhile before he spoke again, ‘What GPS? Why are you here?’ Then respectfully, he said, ‘This is the Genuine Prophetic Siter and this device makes us find the places in the world that are marked well in prophecy. I am here in search of the Three Magi who left the empire at the time when the real Shahanshah was born. They sent their chosen servants back to inform us that they have seen Him but said they did not want to come back anymore and told the people that it was up to them if they want to follow.’ Muhammad was taken aback, at least, Mecca was in the GPS. ‘Who were these three?’ he asked. ‘They were Mensor, the Chaldean; Seir, the Parthian and Theokeno, the Persian. If you heard anything about them especially where they are buried. Please let me know so that I can return with their sacred bones and relics. Their daughters who were prophetesses, had also long been buried in their respective countries.’ Prophetesses?! How he wished that Fatima would also be a prophetess but he had sealed himself to be the last prophet and it will not appear to be good if he assigns one just now. And so, with a sigh, he told him the truth for the divining arrows of Ismael were already disposed, too; ‘We heard nothing of those names here, Odracir. I’m sorry.’ He really felt sorry for not even a prophet like him could unravel such a mystery. The stranger was already turning after bidding him farewell when he spoke, ‘One last thing Odracir, who was this Shahansha?’ The mage reverently replied, ‘The messengers said His name was Yashuah.’ The prophet asked casually, ‘Isa?’ But the Magian shook his head, ‘No, Yashuah, our Savior.’ So, he said, knowing he is not familiar with Hebrew-Aramaic names, ‘Then you can go and try Jerusalem.’ The magician thanked him and headed for Jerusalem, not knowing that he will directly fly over the desert near Egypt where they were buried, for the GPS was programmed only to fly to places mentioned in prophecy. And it was on this night that the prophet was inspired to have his all-time fly–by–night mysteries; the al–Astraa and the Miraj.

76 On the notoriety of Mazinger Singh on the claim that the Bhavishaya Purana 3: 3 :3, 5-8, by Muslim scholars which are presenting evidence that a sacred book of Hinduism is allegedly prophesying about Muhammad, as it is quoted : “A spiritual reformer will come from a foreign land with his disciples. His name will be Mahamad. He will live in the desert…his followers will perform circumcision. They will not keep their hair in form of the Choti as Brahmans do. They will keep beard. They will bring about a revolution. They will call with a loud voice. They will eat meat other than that of swine. They will attain purity through holy war. Their civilization will be called Muslay.” However, Singh objects that the purana is speaking of an event sometime about 450-500 CE when an offshoot of the old religion started to propagate again somewhere near Bharat in spite of the avatars sent against evil. Lord Shiva in fact, is even quoted as saying that he has already burned the demon that would like to start it earlier but it has incarnated again. It was a prototype religion, yes in the same vein as Islam is, but it is only on pork that is the similarity and on the headwear. They also will refer to the loud call as the call to Adha and refer to the similarity of Muslay to Muslim. On its enforcement however, he says it must be Must Slay. The meeting with the tenth king of Shalivanah and Muhammad is not possible for Muhammad only came about much much later. Hence, the context of such meeting is not established. Moreover, Mahamada is described as a mlecchia or an illiterate foreigner and of course, Muslims would not want that description on Muhammad as such, thanks to Jibreel, he was already literate although for Bhraman he is of course, still a foreigner. ( Singh recommends John Fogerty’s “Bad Moon Rising”by Creedence Clearwater Revival, 1969 and also Lee Pockriss and Paul J. Vance’s “Go Chase a Moonbeam” by Jerry Vale, 1958 -Ed.)
77 On the authority of the Bhavishaya Purana (the Book of the Future) King Shalivahan narrated with Singh interpreting with unusual reverence:” I was travelling in the Himalayas one day when he saw a man sitting on the mountain and so, the king asked, ‘Who are you, sir?’ he replied blissfully, and said, ‘You should know that I am Isa Putra, the son of God and I am born of Virgin.’ Asking some more about Him, the Man replied, ‘When the destruction of the truth occurred, I, Masiha, the prophet, came to this country of degraded people where there are no rules or regulations. Finding the fearful and irreligious conditions spreading from Mlecca–desha, I have taken to prophethood.’ The king who was heroically protecting the earth, listened intently to Him, as He continued, ‘Having placed the eternally pure and auspicious form of the Supreme Lord in my heart; o protector of the planet earth, I practiced these principles through the Mlecchas, our faith and thus, my name became Isa– Masiha.’ I submit that although the book was written about 5,000 years ago, this must be referring to Jesus, the Christ who was born of a Virgin and practiced righteousness and the laws of God, His Father, in the midst of impiety and barbarism. Isa Masiha could easily be translated as Jesus, the Messiah.( Singh recommends Allan Freed and Harry Fuqua’s “Sincerely” by the Mc Guirre Sisters, 1959 and also Alice Doria Gamila’s “ A Million Thanks To You” by Pilita Corrales, 1965 -Ed.)
78 On the notoriety of Mazinger Singh, presenting itself another context based on the actual account of Aryan king Bhojarajah, tenth king of Shalivahana, which he fondly calls Boy George, still based on Shri Veda Vyas Muni’s Bhavishaya Purana: “ After the conquests of so many kingdoms and principalities, he goes to the lingam of Shri Shiva and together with him, a demon likewise worshipped in the name of Tripura possessing a human form which is Mahada. In the night, the demon confirms his worst fears as the demon appears to him and said, ‘O king, your religion is the best religion of all. Still by the order of the lord, I am going to establish a terrible and demonic religion and enforce a strong creed over meat -eaters. My followers will be known by their cut genitals, they will not have shikha but they have a beard, make noise loudly and eat all kinds of animals except swine without observing any rituals. They will perform purificatory acts mussolah and thus be called musolmen and not purify their things with kusha grass. Thus, I will be the originator of this adharmeinic and demonic religion of meat-eating nations’.” Singh accepts a prototype religion, which both covertly allow unholy tendencies and forbidden to meat pleasures as to the eating of pork compared with Islam but differentiates Mahada and Muhammad, too. Shikha is the tuft of hair Bhramin wear for their hair. He observes that Mahada does not perform any blessing for the animal to be slaughtered (bizmillah) and would not do any water purificatory rites such as ablutions. In the real dharma, kushardika and even the use of dharba (another purificatory plant) as well as pavitram (used as a ring) which goes with the use of kusha and water. As a prototype however, mussolah is identified with muslim rituals. Preoccupation with different kinds of meat pleasures may also allude allegorically to different forms of fornication or sex practices. (For this part, Singh proposes the use of Boy George’s “War is Stupid”, 1984and also Pou Corales and Kea Odonzo’s “O Ilaw [Aking Bituin]”1934, cover by Ruben Tagalog, 50s -Ed.))
79 Still on the Bhavishaya Purana, Shri Vallabha claims that Isa was an avatar of the five-year old devotee, Dhruve, of the god, Vishnu, Dathayar, who was brought to the highest heaven that is why he could claim to be the “son of god”. Yet, according to Ahmadi (Ahmed) from Maish Hindustan, Jesus was only “in swoon” when he was brought down from the cross, avoided recapture by going to Palestine and settled in Kashmir where he died of old age and was buried in Shrinigar. Another account said that he was actually the incarnation of Krishna and born of Maaya who is an incarnation of the Virgin Goddess, Karayaka Parameshweri. And yet another account said, he studied spirituality in India and was known as Vikata. And yet, there are claims of tampering the book of the future customized to the needs of the ruling classes of the country and the British occupants. For all its worth, the accounts simply pointed to the vital presence of Jesus Christ’s messianic role in the world. According to Singh, the Ahmed account is suspicious as the name Ahmed itself is a shortened form of Mohammed and therefore is a Muslim addition, and therefore suspect. The Druve and Vikata accounts are indeed questionable accounts since they tend to nullify legitimate prophecies on Jesus’ lineage and His wisdom shown before the elders of Jerusalem in the temple, said Mazinger Singh. Vikata although used for holy things and also occurring in Buddhism and Jainism, may mean a certain mountain, a seducing giantess, a slain warrior and a swan, just to give a few meanings, which are for Singh, is not a good name to be given to Christ’s noble character. (Singh recommends George Harisson’s “My Sweet Lord”, 1970 and also Manuel Villar, Sr. and Leopoldo Silos’ “Diyos Lamang ang Nakakaalam” cover by Basil Valdez and the San Miguel Philharmonic Orchestra, 1994 -Ed.)
80 Shalivahan, King of the Sakyas narrates in the Bhavisvaya Purana, as retold by Mazinger Singh: “ He asked the Holy Man who He was. The Other replied,’ I am called the Son of God; born of the Virgin, ministering to non-believers, who are relentless in the search for the truth.’ Then the king asked Him, ‘What is your religion?’ the other one replied, ‘O great king, I came from another country where there is no longer truth, and evil knows no bounds. In the land of unbelievers, I came as the Messiah. But the demon, Ihamansi of the barbarians manifested herself in a terrible form and I was delivered unto her, in the manner of non-believers and ended up in Ihamansi’s realm.’ And with the king still ardently listening, he continued, ‘O king, lend your ear to the religion that I brought to the unbelievers; after purifying their impure bodies and seeking refuge in the prayers of Naigama, I will pray to the Eternal. Through justice, truth, meditations, and unity with the Spirit, men will find their way to Isa, in the Center of light. God, as the firm sun, will unite the spirit of all wandering beings in Himself. Thus, o king, Ihamansi will be destroyed and the blissful image of Isa, the Giver of happiness, will live forever in the heart; I was called Isah-Masih.’ After the king heard this, he took the Teacher of non-believers and sent Him to his pitiless land.’ Singh adds that Ihamansi manifested as a woman, is Roma, which ironically, had transformed into a godless city-state which has a ruthless diabolical imperial rule. Naigama here, refers to fervent devotion. Roma is the reverse of amor which is love. (Singh has to place yet, Shalivahan who is a Scythian from the Mede Empire; Sakya being from a Scythian ethnic group like Muni in the tribe of Budii from where Gautama hailed from. -Ed.)[ Singh recommends Buddy Kaye and Ted Mossman’s (based on Frederic Chopin’s ‘Polonaise in A Flat Major’), “Till the End of Time” by Les Brown and also, more popularly by Perry Como, 1945 and also Willie Cruz’ “Sana’y Wala Nang Wakas” by Sharon Cuneta, 1987 -Ed.]
81 The empire of the Medes have three great cities Rhagae which was later called Raij, Aspadana and the capital, Ecbatana. Today, these are called Tehran, Isfahan and Hamadan, respectively. There are six large political districts of the empire which were called deioces and were composed of the Magi, based in Rhagae, the Paracetani, or the royal Scythians which also came from the Parthians and the Arizanti which are also of Kurdish descent and which considered themselves noble or Aryan, settled in the province of Isfahan, and the Busae which settled in Hamadan. The Budii and the Struchates lived within the many villages within the triangle of the three cities. The Busae are ethnic to the place and is of non-Iranian descent. The Magi emerged from the Sumerian Emergii and is also the source of the Magyars in Hungary. The Magh (powerful men) practiced Zurbanism and later Zoroastrianism to emerge as the most spiritual tribe supplying the spiritual needs of the empire and even beyond, as the first practitioners of Parsism (later, Persia). The words may and might came from the Magh, and could refer to their magical wish that comes true and the power behind it. Meantime, the Budii came from the Black Sea Scythians from which tribe came the great Gautama Siddharta. Apparently, at least three great religions of the world have Median roots. However, Singh vouches that diocesan parishes have nothing to do with the Mede. When Mithradates conquered Parthia in 150 BC, the Magi settled in Greece and then, and in farther, into Rome, and influenced Mithraism which became a competition against Christianity for at least two centuries. The three wise men therefore are remnants of this spiritual movement which at its best awaited the coming of the King of kings and at its worst, the sacrifice of children to the gods. Busae did not own any train stations and there were no zombie sightings in that tribe. ( Singh recommends Buck Ram’s “You’ve Got A Magic Touch” by the Platters, 1956 and also 1928 poem of Florentino Collantes’“Lumang Simbahan” by Larry Miranda, 1958- Ed.)
82 On the premise that Allah is worshipped in the Rig Veda, the notorious Karam Singh has this to say: “The projection that the Llah in the hymns of the Rig veda is rigged since it can be proven that despite the addition of the letter A to make it Allah, the context by which Muslim scholars as Allah being the Being worshipped is not borne out. For example, in the hymn cited, 8:1:1 ,Allah is not mentioned as the deity being worshipped as it is true elsewhere with the same Llah formulation. The hymn states: ‘Glorify naught besides, o friends, so shall not sorrow trouble you. Praise only mighty Indra when the juice is shed and say your lauds repeatedly.’ It is therefore, so obvious that, it is not Allah being asked to be worshipped but Indra.” –Hymns of the Rig Veda, trans. by R.T.H.Griffith, see also H.H. Wilson. (Singh recommends Paul Mac Cartney’s “I’m Looking Through You” for Jane Asher, by the Beatles, 1965 and also “Pare Ko” by the Eraserheads, 1993 -Ed.)
a.) The Indians being a more cultured people than the Arabs introduced many new cultural aspects to Islam, and this will include music. Whether or not the Muslims nowadays admit it, the call to Adha is a musical chant made every dawn. Only, the musical element is less attractive to western standards. The gibberish of Johnny Midnight’s “toning” is easily discernible as Taning’s chaotic message for the Temple of Man. The inadvertent use of Kuh Ledesma’s song as his program’s theme has unwittingly done damage on her beautiful rendition of “Bulaklak”. However, hymns and chants are still integral part of the worship of ancient peoples as Buddhists chants and Gregorian chants are. Canticles evolved from the chants. (Singh recommends “Canticle of the Sun” by Saint Francis of Assissi, 1224, cover by William Draper and Franz Lizt, and also by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel’s “Scarborough Fair” based on the Scottish tale “The Elfin Knight”, 1966 -Ed.)
b.) Unknown to a lot of people, especially the young, Lucifer was the best musician in the choir of angels, and so naturally, he as a rebel angel, will use his genius in subverting the will of God. Hence, subliminal messages in lyrical content, more evidenced by backmasking, and tremendous emotional impacts of music could influence human behavior. In fact, artists deliberately flaunt this awful intent or suggests them in manner that attracts human consciousness. Mazinger Singh gives 1976 song by The Eagles, “Hotel California” (Don Henley and Glen Freys (lyrics) and Don Felder (music) as an example of the latter and refers to the lines saying that the spirit does not live there anymore (the Holy Spirit) and that anyone who comes in can never get out anymore. Of course, this refers to a hotel in California being bought by Satanists under Anton La Vey and having it transformed into a church of Satan as first exposed by Rev. Paul Risley of the Cornerstone Church. Of course, the artist’s defense that they are only showing decadent life in America as in “Californication” are very credible to a lot of people. However, flaunting the beast that could not be killed and the smell of “colitas” (small tails of marijuana) are just too strong as simply artistic impressions. (Singh recommends Peter Green’s “Black Magic Woman” by Fleetwood Mac, 1968 -Ed.)
c.) Christian scholars are also looking into the KISS as a real acronym for Knights in Satan’s Service and interviews made with Alice Cooper’s being possessed before he can write songs. KISS’ works in albums and songs such as “Creatures of the Night”, Anymalize”, “Hotter than Hell”, “Unholy” and “Asylum” are highly suggestive of what Satan wants with the souls of mankind. The 1973 song by Alice Cooper and Bob Ezlin seemed like a confession on necrophiliac tendencies and things even worse. One may also look into “Welcome to My Nightmare”, “I Never Cry”, and “Feed My Frankenstein”. (Singh recommends Eric Clapton’s “Tears in Heaven” by himself, 1994 -Ed.)
d.) Christian music have evolved through the centuries beginning with the psalms borrowed from Judaism. We have Saint Cecilia singing to God even in her martyrdom (even when already beheaded!) which made her the patroness of Christian music. One artist depicting her though, made a mistake by making her play an acoustic instrument when not even the piano nor the organ were already in existence during her time. Saint Augustine said that a prayer sung becomes two prayers that is why the value of church music has increased with church growth. One finds the compositions of Saint Thomas Aquinas and Saint Hildegarde contributing to liturgy and contemplative life. With reformation, however, the mass became less and less as an act of sacrifice and simply became a feast or a loud celebration. With Vatican II, even the usually conservative church became the target of the devil to undermine the real presence of the King in the perpetual sacrifice and the salvific process. Christians nowadays need not attend the mundance dance floors or jamming joints as churches allow already the pop songs and the sexy dances which disguise themselves as interpretative dances within the church walls. This must be the reason that in Beijing, the godless Chinese have made Catholic churches into ballroom venues for the even violating the precepts of the cultural revolution. (Singh recommends Leon Russel’s “This Masquerade” by himself, 1972 and cover by The Carpenters, 1973 and also Walter Wanderley and Astrud Gilberto’s “A Certain Sadness” by Astrud Gilberto, 1966 -Ed.)
83 On the authority of Mariyah, the Copt, on the departure of Fatima Al-Aliyah bint Zabyan al Dahhak as planned with Al-Jariyah: “I have arranged for Al-Aliyah to depart for Egypt with my Christian friend and to seek refuge there. She said she has no more plans to return to Sana, as her family might have repudiated her already after having been divorced by the prophet. She surprised me when she said she will convert into Christianity when she is already in Egypt. Al Jariyah, on the other hand promised to stand up for her, so that the authorities will not miss her and start looking for her. As the two Al-Jariyahs testify, their repugnant clothes have made them chaste from the usual lust of the prophet’s followers. She will just use the clothes Al Aliyah used while collecting dung. And so, when my friend came to fetch her, we kissed and hugged her tightly, saying farewell, and they disappeared in the night.” (Apparently evil spirits also like things that are clean.-Ed.) [Singh recommends Eddie Nicolas and Danny Subido’s “Two Lovely Flowers” by Eddie Peregrina, 70s and also Robert Maxwell [composed in 1953] and Carl Sigman’s “Ebb Tide” by Frank Sinatra, 1956 -Ed.)
84 Narrated the Coptic sisters; Mariyah and Sirin: “Our guest today was Juwariyah, and she regaled the women gathered with her fairy-like beauty. For indeed, she was a great decoration in the prophet’s harem because of her poise and bearing. She was very helpful to the women on the subject of beautifying themselves for their men so that they will not be divorced. Yet, despite her friendly composure, there was sadness in their eyes and when one of the women curious about her relationship with the prophet asked, she smiled and seemed to joke about it as she said, ‘When we got married, I had to fast continuously so that I can avoid him but one day, he ordered me to stop fasting and I could not do anything anymore. And he did things very fast that I hardly noticed that I was being violated. I do not think anymore of things like that because worrying can lessen one’s beauty.’ That remark brought the house down. (Singh recommends Errol Garner and Edwin Burke’s “Misty”by Johnny Mathis,1954, and made theme of the movie,”Play ‘Misty’ for Me”1971 and also Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II’s “Some Enchanted Evening” first sung by Emile de Becque in “South Pacific”, 1949. -Ed.)
85 On the authority of Athila, the Visigoth, Keeper of the traditions of the Goths and scribe of Musa bin Nusayn: “I must confess that I left Roderic, the one who was proclaimed King instead of me, for he has left traditions that are dear to us. And so, I sought the help of Musa bin Nusayn and he immediately ordered Tariq ibn Zayd to cross the sea into Iberia. Tariq’s campaign was successful and established Muslim rule in our country. For me, it was better because Roderic’s reign is unruly. I that same year of the Iberian conquest, 711 AD, Musa opened up many market places in African medinas for the convenience of people, and I was designated to supervise some, from the European side, of them under the shadow of the mountain of Tariq, the Gibraltar in our dialect and we used the mercantile code 7-11 the year of the conquest and the number of those who assisted the landing invasion, so that they do not have to pay the jizya and were granted wares to sell to the Hispanic people. Nusayn’s however have no signs so that even if the sideqeens will check they will simply think they are owned by the people.

86 On the tongue authority of Mazinger Singh using his third eye with symptoms of cataract: “For us, Sikh men, in our study of Sanskrit, Allah is part of the chant when people of Shapurna Bharat call on their mother goddess, Durga when they chant Allah, Akka and Amba which refer to persons of the goddess; Bhavani, Chandi and Mahishasumardhini. On this note, Allah must be a female spirit who would like to have her own following in Arabia or if he is really male, the Bharat experience may mean that he is gay. Now, there was this Braminh, (Not to be confused with a Bhramin ; this is one of those men who wear brassiers), who had been praying all night to Durga and it was already dawn. In her mercy, Durga came and he was very grateful for she was indeed a goddess who dislikes red tape and want things hands on. ‘On which person do you want to see me, next time? ‘ she asked. ‘I will chant by Allah, o goddess!’ She smiled contemptuously, and said ‘Okay, go ye to mlecca Mekka and go to the kaba. If your prayer formula is right, I might see you there.’ And she vanished in an instant, leaving the Braminh puzzled.”( Singh recommends Hoagy Carmichael’s “Stardust” as performed by Frank Sinatra, 1940 and also, Francisco Santiago’s “Madaling Araw”1917, cover by Ryan Cayabyab, et al. 2016 -Ed.)
87 On the gut authority of Mazinger Singh using his Sikh sense: Muslim authorities will always claim that the term Quran, a book of 114 chapters, is taken from the verb, qara’a, meaning to read or iqr’a, noun meaning a book reading or recitation. This must better be, but the clever Kurus of the Kauravas who purportedly converted to Islam for a new boon into a religious being have found the prophet’s tribe’s name Quyraish as a predisposition for their purpose, as it sounds similar to their Bharat name, and finding it propitious; organized and numbered and surreptitiously called it Quran honoring both the Meccan tribe and theirs ( i.e., Kuran ). Using the same Arabic formula, they recall the method the angel used to force the prophet to be literate, qarqar-to forcibly pin down and more gently, qara– to call. And when they come back to Bharat, they will try to freeze heated emotions by explaining that it is also the means to cool off (qarar; qor-cold) and get together(qarar) for qiryah also means come together. In fact, Iscariot (i.e., Judas) is not just “man from Kerioth” but more meaningfully, Is-man, qara- who calls or gathers people to come together, Kerioth-the city slickers to really mean the man who calls the men of the city to gather. Of course, we know why Judas was gathering the urbanites; priests, pharisees, temple guards and all. The Kauravas are at work again for another deception as they kiss their brethrens in Bharat.

88 Hispanic translation by Athila, the Visigoth, of the 712 proclamation of the original in Arabic by Tariq Ibn Zayd, Conqueror of Cordoba and Andalusia on the authority of Musa ibn Nusayn, Emir of Ifriqya: “Las Reglas de la Menses son aplicables a todas las damas y campesinas, las mujeres pubicientes y viejas brujas; con dientes y sin dientes. Todos aquellos que violen seran castigados.” (The regulations on menstruation are applicable to all ladies and peasant women, pubescent girls and old hags; with teeth or without teeth. All those who will violate will be punished.) [Singh recommends “A Media Luz” performed by Rosita Quiroga and created by Edgardo Donato and Ernesto Flores, 1919 and also by Stevie Wonder, Sylvia Moy and Henry Cosby’s “My Cherrie Amour” by Stevie Wonder,1969 -Ed.]
89 Suhaib ibn Sameri, the grandson of the great convert, Abdullah Sameri narrated that the first Bharat conversion was due to the miracle of the moon which the prophet caused to split and was found credible by the Khaurava survivors of the Mahabharata war. “If a prophet can split a celestial body, he must be better than all the Bharat gods and avatars combined whose only achievement was the splitting of the Kurus,” he declared. However, the younger Sameri also disclosed that it was impossible for Chakwati Farmas to have actually seen the prodigy because the miracle of the moon splitting was sometime in 621-622 AD and he actually came only in 632 AD.

90 Narrated Cheriman Perunal on whom Allah has conferred the name Thajudeen on the authority of Chakwati Farmas which was himself: “ Malik Bin Dinaar said that through the mosque in Kerala, Islam will be propagated and the religion of the demons which is Sanatana Dharma will gradually be overcome. He even said that the name of the enemy is already spelled in this belief.”( Singh recommends “Oye Como Va?” composed by Tito Puente and sung by Santana, 1971 and also Pat Upton’s “More Today Than Yesterday” by the Spiral Staircase, 1969 -Ed.)
91 Narrated by Hatsingh (whom the Sideqeen cant repudiate because Muhammad himself said that sneezes are blessings of Allah; while yawnings are from Shaitan, and Hatsingh always speaks the truth, after he sneezes) on the authority of Bagatsingh, authorities of the return of Bharatiya: “ Aryanartha is the country of the Aryans who are supposed to rule the world. This actually is the place of Kurukhsetra, the resort of the gods which is the paradise on earth where nothing is anymore wanted for it is the place of liberation and of salvation. After being defeated by the Pandavas, the Kauravas are staging a comeback using the foreign religion of the Arabs which is Islam. The account of the struggle between the principled righteous and the dreadful deceivers are found in the Maja Bharata or the account of the greatest battle between good or bad. Within the verses of Mahabharata therefore is the message of the old religion found hidden in the verses of Sanjaya who was using the Sikh sense so that he can tell his blind and scheming lord, Dhritirashtra of the Kauravas what Shri Krishna, god’s avatar is telling Arjuna on the side of the Pandavas. Actually, both came from the same Kuru clan but they were only divided on the principles of virtue and morality with the Pandavas being cheated in a rigged dice game by Duryodhana of the Kauravas for Yudisthira and his clan to relinquish their rule for thirteen years and to remain incognito for the same period in the jungles. Upon their return, they were not allowed and therefore the great Mahabharata war ensued with too many casualties with the kingdom almost annihilated and with the Pandavas winning in the end. The Bharat nation have two important dynasties: the Surya Vansha and the Chandra Vansha. The Surya is the solar dynasty which was fortified by Vishnu while the Chandra is the lunar dynasty fortified by Rama. This Aryan–Indus nation is therefore the original recipient of the blessings of the celestial beings of heaven and not Islam which only borrowed the crescent moon. Sanskrit is the key to understanding this evil. Is means not anymore while lam means mob and therefore Islam for us, Hindus is a sinister mob. The Aryan civilization has its own currency which is the kuru which has the treskillion representing the Hindu trinity which Islam secretly borrowed. To us, Al means to separate and lah means submission that is why the god of Islam is submission to disunity. The Kuru has even given the name to Muhammad’s verses by calling it the Kuran ( Kuru + Aan =Submit people to devil worship). The Kurus pretending to be Muslims have employed the Ghazi which are trained assassins to enable the Ghazwa or the recapture of Bharat using Islamic conquest. Unknown to them, the greatly decimated Pandavas found Bharat devastated to the utmost that even the restoration of Hastinapurah throne to Yudisthira could no longer bring back its former glory. The last of the Pandavas simply accepted refuge into heaven. But to have the Kauravas installed especially with a guised divine will, we will never allow because our Harappan and Mohenjo–Daro civilization is a far cry from the Bedouin culture of Kuraysh; nomadic Arabs who only stole cultural artifacts from other rich cultures.” (Singh recommends “Cruel War is Raging” by Peter, Paul and Mary, 1962 and also Cesar Banarez, Jr. and Mike Pilloria’s “Sa Bayan Kong Sinilangan” by Asin -Ed.)
92 Narrated Est’men Jinn, survivor of Unidentified Flying vehicle crash: “ Loco Motiv, Jet’n Jinn, Abi Ashon, Muhammad and I were riding a high velocity contraption so that the prophet can prophesy about it in the future when the apostle of Allah suddenly touched one of the buttons which has the picture of a naked woman. Metallic rock music with looney tunes lyrics suddenly filled the cockpit and Loco Motiv, the pilot was unable to stop him anymore when the vehicle started making gyrating motions akin to the dance of Salome’s seven veils. Much of the gases were sucked in during these gyrations causing the engine to overheat and ignite. One by one, the pilot ejected each of the passengers but it took long for the prophet who was beside him to ejaculate and so after Muhammad was done and was off the vehicle, it was the time that pilot’s seat caught fire and the contraption exploded and crashed. I was lucky because my parachute opened. Jet’n Jinn’s tried to find a mark, landed gently and almost found it’s mark and was a para-shoot. Abi Ashon’s safety contraption glided smoothly for it was a paraglide. But the prophet chose a pink one and got instead a parasol ( para cute =as if he were cute). He was plummeting down when Jibreel caught up with him. Loco Motiv died on the spot on the crash site, smokeless since birth; Im sure he had clean lungs. The moral of the story is do not make a prophet your co-pilot if you have porn in the cockpit. Another is, don’t make dancing contraptions if the music doesn’t match. And also, don’t make a train engineer a pilot if he has little aerial training. Lastly, do not use a parasol as a parachute just to appear cute unless your angel keeps watch. Muhammad never made a prophecy concerning UFVs and parachutes and was never made an authority by von Haniken, the one in charge of the hotel frequented by Jinns.” (Singh recommends Jerry Lee Lewis’ “Great Balls of Fire,”and the Playboys, 1957; and also; Jimmy Webb’s “Up, Up and Away” by the Fifth Dimension,1967- Ed.)
93 Narrated Aisha on the last days of the prophet: “After being poisoned by a vindictive Jewess, Zaynab binth Harith whose family were slain when Khaybar was taken, the prophet had been gradually been degenerating although not visible to many as he at first, would not let it known. He had only eaten a morsel of the poisoned goat meat after being asked which part of the goat he wanted and hence, was served. However, the first who ate, Ibn Bishr found it too late to spew the meat out as he said he did not want the prophet to lose his relish of the meal. He turned greenish and died right away. The prophet sought the culprit right away and the bitter woman confessed her deed. She wanted to know if he was indeed a prophet for the goat bone itself would tell a prophet or if he were just a king, the people will be just be pleased to get rid of him. Although, the apostle forgave her, he also had to order that she will to be killed as a blood vindication for the death of Ibn Bishr. When his friend, the mother of ibn Bishr came to visit one time, he candidly explained that the poison he had taken was gradually worsening its effects on his body.” ( Singh recommends Frank Peterson and Francesco Sartori’s “Time to Say Goodbye” originally ‘Con Te Partito’ lyrics by Lucio Quarantoto by Sarah Brightman and Andrea Boticelli, 1996 and also, Marty Robbins’ “Devil Woman” by Marty Robbins, 1962, cover by Cliff Richard, 1976-Ed.)
94 Narrated Maymuna on the authority of Ibn Abbas: “Because the effects of the prior poisoning has come to light, the prophet has now been suffering much. On our own, distraught as we were, we could not do anything to assuage his pain. But since his breathing has also been affected, I and Ibn Abbas thought of a way to alleviate his physical condition. We sought the best physician in Medina and since he does not want to see any healer, we made him drink when fainted. But when he woke up, he got mad at us and rebuked as for bringing in medicine, as Abbas, explained for pleurisy. He said that pleurisy is from Shaytan and his poisoning is man-made. Therefore, except for Abbas, who he respected much, he made us take all the remaining medicine as punishment. Aysha would tell me that she uses the blessing and breathing technique over his body as he instructed as it was his practice before as taught by allah and the angel. But personally, I feel that Allah and the angel had forsaken him for some reason or another. Otherwise, why would they allow the prophet to be poisoned?” (Singh recommends Odette Quezada’s “Farewell” by Raymond Lauchengco, 1984 and also, Jean-Manuel de Escarallo and Larry Gomez’ “You’re My Everything” by Santa Esmeralda, 1977 -Ed.)
95 Narrated Aysha on the worsening symptoms of the prophet: ”Ever since he saw the mother of Bishr again, he felt more comfortable to talk about his ailment. I still remember when Abbas has brought him with that man who I hate to recognize for he was the one who advised him to divorce me before. As Ibn Sad may have noted, I’ve been sad hearing him speak as if his aorta is being cut, or his jugular vein from behind is being slashed. One time he said, ‘I still feel the powerful effect of the food I tasted at Khaybar and I feel as if death is approaching.’ One time, he told Umm Salamah, when she observed the developing problem every year, “Nothing befalls me that which was destined for me while Adam was still a lump of clay.’ And it broke my heart when I heard him say, ‘O Soul, what has happened to thee that thou are seeking refuge in every place of refuge?’ it was then that realized even with my regular al-Mu’awwadhataya, he was not recovering and that the end was near.”(Singh recommends Udo Jurgens and Dan Black’s “Walk Away” from ‘Warum nur varum’ by Matt Monro, 1964 and also Sonny Bono and Jack Nietsche’s “Just You” by Sonny and Cher, 1966 -Ed.)
96 Narrated Aysha and the Sideqeen, on the last instructions: “He asked for all the people he loves to gather around him and talked to them about a lot of things. He even asked for the boys, al-Husayn and al-Hasan and kissed them. He of course told the sidiqeen to help each other govern the Umma and then he called for his wives for he had been loyal to them all this time and they to him all the time. The apostle died in my bosom during my turn; I have wronged no one as regard to him. No amount of my recital of the al-Mu’wwadhataya could bring him back to us. And I hate jibreel for forsaking him!”(Singh recommends Manoling Francisco’s “Hindi Kita Malilimutan” by Basil Valdez and also by Dave Clark and Mike Smith’s “I’ll be Yours My Love” by the Dave Clark Five, 1965 -Ed.)
97 Narrated by Mariyah al-Quptiyya to Safiya, the Jewess: “Yesterday, we were happy to have with us in our sorority, Aysha bint Abu Bkr and she had an animated speech for fighting for our rights as women. She said that even if Allah was a little slanted to the prophet and the men, she can still see through men and that what she can see is that men can never function very well or even live without us women. What she said gave us a shock at first, but just thinking about it, she is quite right in so many ways. In fact, I feel that what we did was exactly an application of how we women use the power natural to us. She said that the reason there are so many laws protecting men is because we are in fact, more powerful. She even claimed that he could not possibly be a good prophet without our help and consent. She said, ‘I helped liberate the prophet and he liberated me.’ And that made us realize that, we can do more. However, when I was seeing her leave, she identified Al-Jariyah and warned me against her. I feel that she is still biased against slaves like me.

98 Narrated by Jibreel to the Marids who remained single and loyal to him: “ I have fallen in love with Aisha, and I told her so before her death. But she declined because I am not a real man. This angered me and so I cursed her but she just glared at me like she just saw a monster and told me, ‘Whatever he was, I have accepted him for what he was. I was still a girl when he married me and chose to be on my lap before he died.’ Then I cursed her again and told her about her indiscretions but she had indeed the formidable spirit of a woman and yelled at me,’ Shaytan get lost! You are the one who caused Muhammad to be like that! You are the one who caused me to be like this!’ And so, please comfort me for I am miserable!” (Singh recommends Don Ciccone’s “Mr. Dieyingly Sad” by the Critters, 1965 and also, Victor Young and Ned Washington’s “My Foolish Heart” by Gordon Jenkins and His Orchestra, 1949 and cover by Cliff Richard, 1965 -Ed.)
99 Narrated Levi, the Blue Jinn on the notoriety of Ibn Ubay; Aisha narrated: “On the day I became a widow and we were attending to the prophet’s body, some ruminant came in and ate the verses that were about stoning and adult male suckling. It was too late when we realized what was happening because we were in grief. Abu Bkr could not tell which ruminant was it although he was ready to slaughter so that we could recover the manuscript. But alas, it was a week after when Jibreel came in a dream and told me, ‘O Aisha, do not be distressed about the lost verses for it is Allah’s will that they are no longer included.’ And so, I asked, ‘Why, is that O angel of the prophet?’ And he replied, ‘It’s because many more will die from stoning if it is included.’ And I asked, ‘But what about the other page about adult male suckling?’ And he added, ’O I give you the responsibility because if it will be added, more and more will want to be suckled, even women and even men who feel that they are women.’ And I exclaimed, ‘O!’ ” (Singh recommends Oscar Hammerstein II’s “The Lonely Goatherd” from the Sound of Music, 1959 and also Gene Allan and Bobby Vinton’s ‘Mr. Lonely” by Bobby Vinton, 1965 -Ed.)
100 Narrated Abu Wa’ya, fresh convert from the Bani Pang. on the eulogy of the prophet: Aisha said, “On the night I dreamt the angel came and asked him about the missing verses, he said, ‘Don’t despair over them for the verses on stoning had already been made into kidney stones as the paper used was not grass but Zaynab’s gut leather.’ But I added, ‘What about the one on adult suckling?’ And he replied, ‘That liquified into milk.’ And I exclaimed, ‘O so, it was an ewe or a she-goat!’ He thought for a while and said, ‘I did not notice but it was another kind of milk, you know and come to think about it, its hooves are pink, and it behooves…’ but he did not continue and left.” (Sigh recommends Graham Gouldman’s “No Milk Today” by the Herman’s Hermits, 1966 and also Astrud Gilberto’s ”Mas Que Nada” by Astrud Gilberto-Ed.)
101 Narrated the loyal sidiqeens to the prophet’s widow, Aysha shortly before her death: “I have no regrets for having loved the prophet. Even then, when he was about to die, he remained sharp. He even made his fingers wet to wash his face a little and cursed the Christians and Jews who built places of worships over the graves of their prophets. He breathed his last very close to me, our saliva and tears mixing as I wept. He pointed to Janna and said something like nothing but the highest and expired. Umar could not help but deny his passing but later came to his senses. And when the men washed the apostle they did not know what to do too, grieving and tired they have dozed off, they were awakened and washed him with clothes on and discovered his penis still erect pointed to heaven as Ali testified. How I wish it were us, the women, who have done the task. They buried him in a triple sheet. In his memory, I made quarrels. In his name, I led battles. In his wisdom, I counseled people and advised men so that they will not succumb to weakness. I am not a prophet’s wife just for nothing. I have started with nothing and will be leaving with everything. For the things he failed as a man, I forgive him for I had known him since I lost my innocence and now, I am ready to join him in the consciousness of the afterlife. Not even the spirit of my father could suppress me. Not even the spontaneity of Umar could surprise me. Not even the civility of Uthman could tame me. And not even the brotherhood of Ali could fill my Umma. It was only Muhammad’s spirit which could enkindle this in me. It was due to my extreme youth that I deserve that he died with me. He had asked from the other wives that he stay with me and he even died on the day that was my turn. And so, I did not take from anyone the right to be with him.”( Singh recommends Jimmie Davis (or Paul Rice) and Charles Mitchell’s “You are My Sunshine” by Jimmie Davis, 1940 and Mort Dixon, Joe Young and Harry Warren’s “You’re My Everything” by Jeane Aubert and Laurence Grey and the Arden-Ohman Orchestra, 1931 and later popularized by Nat King Cole, 1940 )
+ Narrated Safiya to her relative Jews who visited her only after the prophet died on the authority of the Wandering Jew: “They despaired about the lost verses especially Abu Bakr who would like to stone the culprit and so they prayed that Aysha may dream again for Uthman really wanted the book complete. But one night while Umar was patrolling the Al-Mansari for some Jewess might wander by, when he chanced upon the figure of a ruminant turned into a stone as if it gazed at Sodom out of curiosity and out of it flowed milk that was spoilt in accordance with its smell. (Singh recommends “Was I dreaming?” by the Cascades, 1963 and also Harry Warren and Al Dublin’s“I Only have Eyes for You” by Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler for the movie “Dames”, the Flamingos, 1959 and cover by Art Garfunkel, 1975 -Ed.)
For years, I have served as a useful source to those seeking inspiration, help, or advice. I finally decided to own that role and be intentional about it. I started writing about my passions, my thoughts, and curious wonderings about our world. I founded In Factum with a mission to give others a taste of what goes on in my mind, and I have been at it ever since.
