You want to know who is the author of the Quran, check chapter 33:
Zaynab was married to Zaid, Muhammad's adopted son. One day Muhammad paid a visit to Zaid's house. Not expecting Muhammad, , Zaynab answered the door dressed in a revealing garment, and Muhammad is quoted in Tafsir Al Qurtubi and Al Tabari as saying:
سبحان مقلب القلوب
"Glory to the one who turns the hearts"
When Zaid learned of the Prophet's comments, he felt obliger to divorce her so Muhammad could marry her.
You can. Read this in the Tafsir here:https://quran.com/en/al-ahzab/37/tafsirs check the classic Arabic Tafsir. Later, Ibn Kathir and modern scholars tried to down play this claiming this is weak narration.
It was controversial among the Arabs, not just for marrying his first cousin but for taking his adopted son's wife. Shortly after, Muhammad received few convenient revelations:
First, reform adoption from being father / son relationship to just "caretaker". A tradition of over thousands of years in Arabia and other heavenly books with huge implications on children such as missing out on father family title and inheritance - profoundly changing relationships!
"Let your adopted children keep their family names. That is more just in the sight of Allah. But if you do not know their fathers, then they are ˹simply˺ your fellow believers...." Quran 33:5
A few verses later...
"... So when Zaid had accomplished his desire from her (i.e. finished with her), We gave her to you in marriage.... And God's Command must be fulfilled." Quran 33:37
And just like that Allah commands Muhammad to marry Zaynab. And what happened the first night he married her? Nailed her!
Apologist: For context, Zaid and Zaynab were having marital problems and Muhammad was just trying to help. Is this the solution now, when a couple have marital problems, divorce and hand her over to your relatives? Is she a camel? And this martial dispute made its way to the eternal holy book? Allah who knows the future, did not think of banning adoption- say 20 years earlier before Muhammad adopted Zaid as his son? Or, a few years early Muhammad adopted Salim as a son and Allah said nothing!
Later, when Muhammad kept getting women offering themselves to him, and Aisha made a scene, so another verse came 33:50 saying he can marry any woman he wants to exceed the four wives limit. Prompting Aisha's famous words: "...It seems to me that your Lord hastens to satisfy your desire."
Sahih Muslim 1464 a https://sunnah.com/muslim:1464a
Sahih al-Bukhari 4788
https://sunnah.com/bukhari:4788
That is why Muhammad was able to have nine wives and this privilege is only for him!
In 33:53, "Allah" tells visitors Muhammad is shy and busy. Once you have dinner, leave. Wait more, when Muhammad dies, his wives are NEVER allowed to be with another man!
And 33:21 Making him the BEST example to follow!The guy who own slaves, women war bounty sex slaves, marries a child, and spends his adult life at war! That's the best example?
Did you notice that all this is in the same chapter? Chapter 33 is this book for Allah or Muhammad?

The Golden Age of Islam, typically dated from the 8th to the 13th century, marked a flourishing of culture, science, and intellectual life under the Abbasid Caliphate, particularly centered in Baghdad’s House of Wisdom. This period shift away from expansion and religion and saw a gradual shift where worldly pursuits such as philosophy, art, music, and even wine-drinking became prominent, often diverging from strict religious fundamentalism.
Art and music, often seen as haram, thrived under caliphal support. Music flourished in courts and urban centers, with instruments like the oud, qanun, and ney shaping a rich tradition. Poets and musicians, such as Abu Nuwas, celebrated wine, love, and revelry in their compositions, performed in taverns and palaces. Sufi mysticism further elevated music as a spiritual practice, despite occasional clerical disapproval.
Philosophy—especially Greek philosophy translated into Arabic—was central. Thinkers like Al-Farabi, Avicenna (Ibn Sina), and Averroes (Ibn Rushd) integrated Aristotelian logic with Islamic theology, often provoking backlash from religious scholars who also considered Philosophy haram! Intellectual freedom extended at times to open discussions of atheism, apostasy, and criticism of religious dogma. Poets like Abu Nuwas famously celebrated wine and earthly pleasures, reflecting elite culture’s growing secularism. Nuwas’s bacchanalian verses and tales of taverns in Baghdad highlight a permissive attitude toward alcohol, despite religion. This reflected a broader cultural openness, with interfaith mingling and a focus on worldly pleasures over religion.
This cultural high point ended when Mongol sack of Baghdad in 1258, which shattered the Abbasid political power. This was seen as self fullfiling prophecy of the "end of time" but nothing came of it. Other factors included internal theological backlash—led by scholars like Al-Ghazali—who argued that excessive philosophy, art, and liberalism endangered faith. The rise of more conservative movements also played a role in reasserting fundamentalist control. And we went back to the dark ages.
So, what really bought about Golden Age of Islam was distancing ourselves from the fundamentals of Islam, openness, patronage, and cultural integration rather that cultural domination or fundamentalism of Islam.

Unlike any previous minorities, Islam refuses to integrate and adopt, yet seeks to expand and dominate. As Exmuslims, history will testify that we warned you!

Did you know that Islam allows taking women as war bounty sex slaves?! I heard growing up hearing the term Sabayah
(سبايا)
and I did not understand it. It sounded like women who the Khalifa or wealthy men have on the side as extra-marital legal in a way under Islam. Always presented on the side line of fun or comedy TV sketches. What I did not expect is the horror of what this really means. It is the selling, buying, and owning of women as sex slaves usually taken as war bounty. Where did this trade come from? It comes from the term Melk Alymein
(ما ملكت إيمانكم & ملك اليمين)
or what your right hand possess. Mentioned in the Quran at least 14 times: Quran [4:23-24];[16:71]; [23:5-6]; [24: 31-33-58]; [30:28]; [33:50- 52 -55]; [70:27-30] And as you can see confirmed in the Hadith.
In fact, so casual it is mentioned in the hadith, here is a random hadith for you:
Sahih al-Bukhari 4350
Narrated Buraida:
The Prophet (PBUH) sent
Ali to Khalid to bring the Khumus (war booty tax) and I hated
Ali, and
Ali had taken a bath (after a sexual act with a slave-girl from the Khumus). I said to Khalid, "Don't you see this (i.e.
Ali)?" When we reached the Prophet (PBUH) I mentioned that to him. He said, "O Buraida! Do you hate `Ali?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Do you hate him, for he deserves more than that from the Khumlus."
You want more? Here are 15 Hadiths on this topic:
https://sunnah.com/search?q=%D8%B3%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%8A%D8%A7
How can an all-knowing and all-merciful Allah allow the "Owning of Humans" and owning of women as sex objects! It is, if anything, evidence the Quran is man made for men.
It is from these Quranic verses that ISIS sold Yazidi women as slaves, girls as young as infants were sold. The records now show what happened to them. Think, Muhammad did the same thing. How beautiful...how peaceful...how example for ALL humanity.

101 Reasons Why We Left Islam. Start of chapter 5: Failed Prophecies
Reason 56: Green Mecca is a sign of "End of Time"
You can read the introduction here as well as the reason: exmuslimmemes.com/chapter-5-fail…
Every time it rains heavily in Mecca, or it experiences a flood, shortly after this event, the surrounding areas is transformed, for a couple of weeks, to a beautiful meadows and rivers. Before you blink, social media is flooded with videos of Islamic Dawah recycling an old claim that this event is the sign: “Yum Al Qiyyama of near!!” meaning – the resurrection day is near.
Where does this claim come from? It comes from Sahih Muslim 157c.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) as saying:
The Last Hour will not come before wealth becomes abundant and overflowing, so much so that a man takes Zakat out of his property and cannot find anyone to accept it from him and till the land of Arabia reverts to meadows and rivers.
sunnah.com/muslim:157c
For the following few weeks, social media is flooded with pictures of meadows, green mountains, green valleys, and even deserts covered with plants. You also get people panicking, people claiming this is the time, the time has come. Fast forward a few months, nothing happens, and everyone forgets. A few years later, the same phenomenon occurred, and the same "recycling" of the claim started again. What is the explanation for this? Is Arabia and Mecca turning green an unusual thing? Well, facts debunk this claim. First of all, in my lifetime alone, I have seen at least a dozen times floods and rains turn Mecca green. Doing my research shows the following:
Flooding and heavy rains have been recurring events since records began in Mecca due to its geographical location nestled around mountains, which funnel rainwater into the city. Historical records indicate that by 1965, Mecca had experienced 89 significant rainfalls, and the most recent severe flooding occurred in 1941. This flood saw water levels in the Grand Mosque area rise to approximately two meters, submerging parts of the Kaaba and prompting some worshippers to perform Tawaf by swimming. What happens after these floods or rains? The whole area turns lush green with meadows and rivers for weeks. This is not unique to Mecca or Saudi Arabia, as this phenomenon has been recorded in deserts worldwide. What is more, the issue of heavy rainfall prompted the Saudi government to build modern infrastructure and drainage to manage it. So, in other words, it is not unusual at all.
You may argue, the repeated floods and rains is a ‘recent’ event thus would that not be the “sign”. Not really. As we indicated, at least 89 recorded floods and heavy rains have occurred. Here are some notable ones:
- The earliest recorded flood in the Islamic era occurred around 638 CE (17 AH) during the caliphate of Umar ibn al-Khattab, which inundated the Grand Mosque and the Kaaba area.
- 779 CE (162 AH) during the Abbasid era.
- 1039 CE, which caused one of the Kaaba's walls to collapse.
- 1630 CE, floods damaged the Kaaba, leading to the complete reconstruction in 1631.
- 1941 CE, when floodwaters reached approximately 2 meters in the Grand Mosque area.
Source: DOMPETDHUAFA.ORG
And after each one of these events, there would have been people scaremongering that the ‘sign’ of end of time is here because the whole area around Mecca would have been transformed into meadows.
In recent decades, Mecca has continued to face heavy rain incidents reported in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2014, 2021, and as recently as January 2024. However, with social media invention, this scaremongering has been amplified with videos and images of the green Mecca as if this has never happened before and it is a sign of the doom!
Research shows that climate change has affected Saudi Arabia more so than many countries. Its average temperature has gone up by 2.5'C / 4.5'F in just 100 years and it is projected to continue to get higher and Saudi Arabia, and the country is going to get drier.

In many Islamic societies, a woman’s worth is still tightly bound to her virginity—an outdated ideal that has fueled a toxic cycle of stigma, inequality, and social problems. While modesty and morality are deeply valued in the culture, the fixation on physical virginity has created damaging consequences, particularly for divorced women and young girls.
Divorced women, regardless of their character or life circumstances, often face immense social scrutiny when seeking remarriage. The assumption that they are “less pure” renders them undesirable in a culture where many men prioritize virginity over compatibility, integrity, or emotional maturity. This obsession creates a tragic paradox: women are encouraged to marry young, yet once divorced—often through no fault of their own—they become marginalized.
This imbalance contributes to a disturbing trend: the growing pursuit of younger, often underage, brides. Do not believe those nonsense claims that there are more women than men, this is not true. Studies show the opposite. There are more men than women. This, older men struggle to find “untouched” women within their age range, some turn to minors, perpetuating a cycle of exploitation masked as tradition. Meanwhile, millions of intelligent, capable divorced women remain sidelined—not because of who they are, but because of a narrow, physical standard tied to outdated honor codes.
This issue is about faith as well as culture. While The Prophet Muhammad himself married divorced and widowed women—he also married Aisha as a child bride and waited until she was ready to take her virginity. And we have many Hadiths on that. But maybe more damning is this Hadith.
Sahih al-Bukhari 4052
Narrated Jabir:
"Allah's Messenger (PBUH) said to me, "Have you got married O Jabir?" I replied, "Yes." He asked "What, a virgin or a matron?" I replied, "Not a virgin but a matron." He said, "Why did you not marry a young girl who would have fondled with you?" I replied, "O Allah's Messenger (PBUH)! My father was martyred on the day of Uhud and left nine (orphan) daughters who are my nine sisters; so I disliked to have another young girl of their age, but (I sought) an (elderly) woman who could comb their hair and look after them." The Prophet (PBUH) said, "You have done the right thing."

This prophecy we would classify as nonsense. It was never a real one to start with given that Mecca was expecting episodes of lush green meadows even as early as six years after the Prophet died. And for 1400 years, the same claim kept being recycled every time it experienced heavy rain. Enough of this - let's move to the following claim.
21.04.202505:18
No one needs to shout to convince you that 1 + 1 = 2.
But they will need to shout and scream when they want to brainwash you that 1 + 1 = 11. Why?
Shouting leaves no space for you to apply logical reasoning as your brain gets overwhelmed with the animated emotions of the shouting speaker!
I grew up believing that all other faiths engage in brainwashing, but in Islam there is no brainwashing.
In Islam we engage the mind with logic and reasoning. We don't just accept things, we discuss them within red lines. What I did not realise is that we were living inside a filter bubble - a bubble where we could discuss things like how do we know Allah exists (the answer has to be always yes), what type of hijab is correct, what is hallal to eat, is this Hadith authentic, and if I swim will that invalidate my fasting? In the world of critical thinking and reasoning, we were given a small sandbox and told "You are allowed to play here."
Anytime we tried to leave and explore beyond, it was like "haaaayyy where are you going??? Go back to your sandbox now"
Here are some of the red lines:
- How come ISIS, AlQaida, Bokoharam, Talban, Wahabies, Brotherhood, and other terrorist cite the Quran and Hadith?
- What does ملك اليمين "What does 'your right hand possess' mean?" What do you mean these are women prisoners of war distributed as war bounty among the fighters for sex use?
- Why did Allah allow Muhammad to have unlimited wives when Allah's destiny was to make him childless (no male heir) like Essa (Jesus) and not like Abraham or Moses? Jesus did not have even one wife!
- How come we say we are the religion of peace, but other faiths don't have so many terrorist groups like us?
- Why do I see 11 verses in the Quran that clearly say the earth is flat like a rug, carpet, bed, sheet, cover, and spread? Dahaha is a verb, cannot mean an ostrich egg!
- What do you mean this year is the end of time? What do you now change your mind and say next year is the end of time? What do you mean now you have another sign it is the end of time? Haven't people been talking about the end of time being "this year" for 1400 years???
- Why do we start teaching religion and sectarianism so early? If Islam is innate to believe in Allah, why not let them find their way? How can we claim our faith is innate but we need to teach it aggressively anyways? What if we are brainwashed into Islam?
My brothers and sisters know exactly what I am talking about...

That is not fair. This is a very tricky question because all of them could be true!
What caption can I even put to this? Flying donkey or splitting of the moon...killing whole tribes and taking women as war bounty sex slaves...marrying and having sex with Aisha at age 9. But maybe I'll just tell you about the beautiful Hadith:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet (pbuh) used to pass by (have sexual relation with) all his wives in one night, and at that time he had nine wives.
Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 5215
In-book reference : Book 67, Hadith 148

Summary of Reason 4: The Abrogation of Temporary Marriages
You can read the full text here:
https://exmuslimmemes.com/reason-4-the-abrogation-of-temporary-marriages/
Before dismissing this as a Shia-only issue, note that its abrogation comes from Sunni sources and fits the theme of contradictions within Islamic rulings.
Temporary marriages—known as Mut’a in Shia Islam and occasionally as Misyar in Sunni contexts—involve short-term unions between a man and woman for sexual relations, lasting from an hour to a few days. These arrangements deny women basic marital rights like inheritance, cohabitation, or financial support beyond an agreed-upon payment.
Translators have often softened the meaning of the Quranic verse in question. However, Quran 4:24, using more literal translations (e.g., Arberry and Sahih International, excluding interpretive brackets), refers to seeking women "using your wealth" and speaks of "enjoying them" and paying them their “wages.” The Arabic word used is
(أجورهن)
, which directly means wages, not dowry.
This language implies a transactional relationship linked to pleasure, not marriage. Dowry, on the other hand, involves family negotiations and is a prerequisite for a marriage to proceed—not payment for temporary sexual enjoyment.
Some apologists reinterpret this as referring to dowry, but the linguistic structure and grammar don’t support that claim. The verse uses female-tense verbs and emphasizes mutual agreement on wages post-pleasure, clearly suggesting a service-based relationship.
Classical scholars like Ibn Kathir, Al-Jalalayn, and Tabari affirm in their tafsir that this verse refers to temporary marriage. For instance, sunnah.com lists multiple Hadiths that show how widespread and normalized Mut’a was during the Prophet’s time.
Eventually, this practice was abrogated. A hadith in Ibn Majah recounts how Caliph Umar declared Mut’a forbidden and threatened severe punishment for anyone caught engaging in it, unless they could prove the Prophet allowed it after it was banned.
This historical shift raises concerning questions. If a practice was permitted by the Prophet multiple times and later prohibited by a Caliph, it suggests inconsistencies in divine law and its implementation. That’s the core issue raised here—not just the practice itself, but the way it was legislated, accepted, and then reversed. Thus, for some, it raises all sorts of questions about Islam, Islamic teaching, and the source of morality within.

I grew up believing Shariah would bring a perfect society. But as I matured, I realised it’s a 7th-century legal system rooted in a very different world. For all its lofty ideals, it is ultimately enforced by humans—flawed, biased, and fallible. In modern justice systems, wrongful convictions can be reversed. But how do you undo a hand amputation? An execution? A stoning? You can’t. There’s no compensation for irreversible punishment.
Shariah law also struggles with modern values like gender equality and freedom of expression. In many interpretations, a woman’s testimony is worth half a man’s. Apostasy and blasphemy are treated as capital crimes. How can that exist in a time where human rights and individual freedoms are universal principles?
Another problem is practicality. Even countries that call themselves "Islamic" don’t implement Shariah fully. Why? Because it doesn’t function in a complex, modern society with diverse populations, global economies, and international laws. If it worked, you’d expect the most peaceful, progressive, and just societies to be those who apply it fully. But that’s clearly not the case.
One of the things that disturbs me most is the insistence on same-day burial. Sure, it made sense in the desert 1,400 years ago without refrigeration. But today, rushing burials can destroy crucial forensic evidence. Anyone familiar with criminology knows how many murders could go undetected because the body is gone before anyone can ask questions.
Islam is a product of its time. I understand why some seek it for spiritual aspects due to existential concerns, but its legal system is not fit for the 21st century. But here is the problem, Quran makes it clear you cannot separate those two!
Shariah law also struggles with modern values like gender equality and freedom of expression. In many interpretations, a woman’s testimony is worth half a man’s. Apostasy and blasphemy are treated as capital crimes. How can that exist in a time where human rights and individual freedoms are universal principles?
Another problem is practicality. Even countries that call themselves "Islamic" don’t implement Shariah fully. Why? Because it doesn’t function in a complex, modern society with diverse populations, global economies, and international laws. If it worked, you’d expect the most peaceful, progressive, and just societies to be those who apply it fully. But that’s clearly not the case.

Angry Mumins will point out that around 56% of the channels are in India, comparable by population. The population of Europe, USA, Canada, and the Arab world is 1.4 billion = 1.4 billion in India! And there is an extra interest in India having exposed to unvetted dawah for many years, something other parts of the world are now waking up to.
