MUHAMMAD’S PARENTS WERE UNBELIEVERS, AND THEY DIED AS UNBELIEVERS

MUHAMMAD’S PARENTS WERE UNBELIEVERS, AND THEY DIED AS UNBELIEVERS

Dear reader,

SO IT TURNS OUT THAT THE MOTHER OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD DIED AN UNBELIEVER

Amina, the mother of Muhammad, died an unbeliever. We read:

Narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
“I sought permission from my Lord to ask forgiveness for my mother, but He did not grant me permission. And I sought His permission to visit her grave, and He granted me permission.” (Muslim)

It is explained in the book ‘Awn al-Ma’abuud:

“His statement (Muhammad) ‘but He did not grant me permission’ means that (his mother) was an unbeliever, and it is not permissible to ask forgiveness for an unbeliever.”

This is another calamity for Muslims. Both of Muhammad’s parents died with very great sins, and while they were UNBELIEVERS.

Why did this Allah hate the parents of Muhammad so much?

Do you know that Muhammad’s father also died while he was an UNBELIEVER and is in Hell?

Indeed, there are very strange things in Islam.

BUT WE DO NOT READ THAT THE MOTHER OF JESUS DIED WITH SIN.
MUHAMMAD ADMITS THAT HIS FATHER IS IN HELL

This is a VERY GREAT CALAMITY for Muslims. Muhammad, whose father was called Abdullah, meaning “servant of Allah,” it has been confirmed that he is in Hell/fire, burning.
These are not my words, nor am I accusing Muhammad’s father; rather, these are the words of Muhammad himself.

Read the proof here.

It was reported by Anas: Indeed, a man said: O Messenger of Allah, where is my father? He said: He is in the Fire. When he turned to leave, he called him back and said: Indeed, my father and your father are in the Fire. (Sahih Muslim, Book 001, Number 0398).

And the question we would like Muslims to ask themselves is this: why was Muhammad’s father, who was a pagan, called ‘Abdullah’?

And since ‘Abdullah’ means ‘servant of Allah,’ this is clear evidence that the pagans of the period of ignorance (Jahiliyyah) were worshiping Allah to the extent of giving their children names in honor of Allah—just as the Jews also gave their children names in honor of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

For example:
Joshua – Yahweh is salvation;
Jotham – Yahweh is perfect;
Jehoahaz – Yahweh has held;
Hezekiah – Yahweh has strengthened;
Elisha – God is salvation, etc.

The answer is clear. Allah was a pagan god worshiped before Islam came. And this god was a ‘moon god,’ that is ‘al-ilah.’ Another of his names was ‘Hubal.’ This pagan god was worshiped throughout the Middle East, not only by the Arabs.

FURTHERMORE,

  1. Why does Muhammad admit that his father is in Hell?

  2. Where did this Abdullah/Abdallah get this name that contains Allah?

  3. Does it mean that Allah, who is a pagan god, existed before Muhammad?

And that is why Muhammad’s father, Abdullah, narrowly escaped being sacrificed by Muhammad’s grandfather, Abdul Muttalib. Abdul Muttalib wanted to sacrifice his son as an offering to Allah. But Abdullah’s uncle rescued him, and eventually 100 camels were sacrificed instead. And it should be known that these sacrifices took place at the Kaaba (we will look at this later).

We are told that:

The arrow indicated that Abdullah was the one who was to be sacrificed. So Abdul Muttalib took the young man to the Kaaba along with a razor to slaughter him. Quraysh, his uncles from the Makhzum clan, and his brother Abu Talib, however, tried to dissuade him. They suggested that he consult a female soothsayer. She instructed that divination arrows be drawn between Abdullah and ten camels … until the number of camels reached one hundred. (Ibn Hisham 1/151–155; Rahmat-ul-lil‘alameen 2/89, 90).

That is why the God of the Bible strongly warned the children of Israel about the pagan practices of the surrounding nations regarding the worship of the host of heaven or the family of stars. For example, He says:

“… lest you lift up your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, all the host of heaven, you be drawn away and worship them and serve them, which the LORD your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven.” (Deuteronomy 4:19)

“If there is found among you, within any of your towns which the LORD your God is giving you, a man or woman who does what is evil in the sight of the LORD your God, in transgressing His covenant, … and has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, or the sun or the moon or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded…” (Deuteronomy 17:2–3)

“For he rebuilt the high places that Hezekiah his father had destroyed; he erected altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel had done, and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them.” (2 Kings 21:3)

“And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.” (2 Kings 21:5)

“And he did away with the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had appointed to burn incense on the high places in the cities of Judah and in the surrounding areas of Jerusalem; those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun and the moon, to the constellations and all the host of heaven.” (2 Kings 23:5)

“… and they shall spread them before the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven, which they have loved and served and after which they have walked and which they have sought and worshiped; they shall not be gathered nor buried; they shall be like dung on the face of the ground.” (Jeremiah 8:2)

“… and the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be like the place of Topheth—all the houses on whose roofs they burned incense to all the host of heaven and poured out drink offerings to other gods.” (Jeremiah 19:13)

“… those who bow down on the roofs to the host of heaven; those who bow down and swear to the LORD and yet swear by Milcom.” (Zephaniah 1:5)

In the year 570 AD, the same year Muhammad was born, there was a ruler of the Aksumite Empire of Ethiopia who ruled Yemen. He was called Abrahah al-Ashram. It is said that he was jealous of the city of Mecca because many people were going there on pilgrimage (that is, a pagan pilgrimage), so he built a large church in Sana’a, Yemen, hoping to attract many people, which did not happen.

As a result, he decided to go and attack Mecca with the aim of destroying the Kaaba. He traveled with many people on a large group of elephants—hence the year came to be known as the Year of the Elephant.

The Quraysh clans united to try to save the Kaaba. Abdul Muttalib (Muhammad’s grandfather) told the people to flee and hide in the mountains while he and some others remained near the Kaaba.

But because of the size and strength of Abrahah’s army, Abdul Muttalib said:

“The Owner of this House is its Protector, and I am certain that He will protect it from being attacked by enemies, and they will not disgrace the servants of His House.”

Traditions say that when Abrahah advanced toward the Kaaba, a large group of birds appeared and began dropping stones on them like rain until they were wounded. Thus, his intention to destroy the Kaaba failed, and instead he returned injured.

Now the question is this: at that time Muhammad was still an infant, and therefore Islam had not yet begun; and it is known that at the Kaaba there were hundreds of pagan gods. So who is the Owner of the House mentioned by Abdul Muttalib?

It is clear that this was a pagan god, namely Allah, who was worshiped and served by Abdul Muttalib—the moon god.

And the even bigger question is that the Qur’an says in Surah Al-Fil (or The Elephant) 105:1–5:

“Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant? Did He not make their plan go astray? And He sent against them birds in flocks, striking them with stones of baked clay, and He made them like eaten straw!”

The question is:

These events happened when Islam did not exist, but rather during paganism. The servant of the pagan god, Abdul Muttalib, said that the Owner of that House (the Kaaba) would defend it.

So who was the Owner of the House mentioned by Abdul Muttalib, and who is “your Lord” mentioned by the Qur’an in this surah? Or should we say there were two gods who cooperated to stone Abrahah and his elephants?

Abdul Muttalib did not know Muhammad’s Allah; therefore, in no way could he have referred to Him (if indeed Muhammad’s Allah is different from Abdul Muttalib’s).

All circumstances show that the moon god, worshiped by Abdul Muttalib, is the one who protected the Kaaba from Abrahah’s elephants. Therefore, this verse of the Qur’an has no ability to claim that it refers to a different god!

So then the Kaaba is a pagan house.
So then Muhammad’s father is in Hell.
So then all Muslims who go on pilgrimage will enter Hell.
So then Allah is a pagan god.

Indeed, Islam is a pagan religion; that is why Muhammad admitted that his father is in Hell.

I invite you to the Great Living God, JESUS OUR SAVIOR.
May God bless you greatly.

It is I, Dr. Max Shimba, servant of Jesus Christ, the Great God. Titus 2:13

The Intrinsic Nature of God’s Love

The Intrinsic Nature of God’s Love

By Dr. Maxwell Shimba, Shimba Theological Institute

Introduction

The declaration of Scripture, “God is love” (1 John 4:8, 16), stands not as a description of God’s behavior alone, but as an ontological statement of His very essence. Love is not merely one of God’s many attributes, nor a quality that He assumes in relation to creation, but the intrinsic essence of His being. Just as His holiness and glory are not created nor dependent upon the existence of the world, but eternally existent in and of Himself, so too is love. To deny that love is the essence of God is to misunderstand the fundamental nature of divine reality.

The Ontological Ground of Love

Theologically, love cannot exist independently of God. The modern world often conceives of love as a human construct, an emotional response, or an abstract virtue. Yet such conceptions fail to capture the biblical truth that love exists because God exists. God does not possess love as a quality external to Himself; rather, He is love in His eternal essence. This means that love, like holiness and glory, is not contingent, temporal, or derivative—it is self-existent because God is self-existent (Exod. 3:14, “I AM WHO I AM”).

Within the doctrine of divine simplicity, God is not composed of parts; His essence is identical with His attributes. Thus, His love is not one aspect among many, but the fullness of His being. Just as His holiness is not created but eternally radiant from His nature, and His glory not borrowed but eternally shining from His existence, so His love is uncreated, eternal, and unchanging.

Love in the Trinity

The eternal nature of divine love is most profoundly revealed in the Trinity. Before creation existed, before a single creature could receive love, God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit existed in perfect fellowship of love. Augustine writes that within the Trinity, the Father is the Lover, the Son is the Beloved, and the Spirit is the bond of love. This eternal communion demonstrates that love is not dependent on creation; it is ontologically prior to all things. The existence of love in God Himself affirms that love is eternal because God is eternal.

The Manifestation of God’s Love

Although love is intrinsic to God’s essence, it is not static but active. God’s love flows outward in creation and redemption as an expression of His being. Creation itself is an act of love, not because God needed the world, but because His love is so abundant that it freely overflows into existence. Redemption through Christ is the highest manifestation of this love: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son” (John 3:16). Christ’s atonement reveals the eternal reality of divine love breaking into history, not as a new act, but as the eternal love of God manifest in time.

Theological Implications

  1. Love as Divine Essence, Not Attribute: To treat love as a mere attribute risks reducing God to a composite being who has love rather than is love. The doctrine of divine simplicity insists that God is identical with His attributes; hence, to know God is to know love in its purest form.

  2. Love as Eternal and Self-Existent: Since love is grounded in God’s being, it neither originates from human experience nor evolves through history. Instead, it is eternal, necessary, and unchanging.

  3. Love as the Basis of Christian Life: If God’s very essence is love, then Christian existence must flow from this reality. Believers are not called merely to imitate a quality of God but to participate in His divine essence (2 Pet. 1:4). To love, therefore, is to reflect the very being of God who indwells us through His Spirit.

Conclusion

The love of God is not an attribute among many but His very essence—intrinsic, eternal, and uncreated. Just as God’s holiness and glory exist eternally because God Himself is eternal, so His love exists because God is. To confess “God is love” is to confess that the very ground of reality, the eternal “I AM,” is love itself. This love is revealed in the eternal communion of the Trinity and manifested supremely in the redemptive work of Christ. Thus, all love that is true and holy finds its origin not in human emotion but in the eternal God, who is blessed forever. Amen.
