13 STRANGE RULES OF ISLAM

Many Westernized people outside the Arab world are drawn to what they perceive as the simplicity, peace, and reasonableness of Islam.  However, before you accept Islam at face value or consider converting, it is important to understand that conversion to Islam demands that you follow the Qur'an (scripture), the hadith (oral teachings of Muhammad), and the sunna (actions of Muhammad).  Many of these teachings make no sense to Westerners.  In fact, if you asked the average Muslim why Muhammad set some of these rules, they would not know either.  After all, Muslims are taught never to question the infallible word of Allah and his Prophet (Qur'an 5:101).

Considering that conversion to Islam is final, with death being the penalty for abandoning Islam (Bukhari, Vol. 4, Number 260), perhaps the dog-lovers, modern women, and reasonable minded among us should consider these strange, but mandatory, rules:

  • Islam makes it a sin to pluck your eyebrows.
  • Q Bukhari, Vol. 7, Number 815

  • Muslims are not allowed to have pictures in their homes.
  • Q Bukhari, Vol. 7,  Number 844

  • If a Muslim wife refuses to wear the veil, others will regard her as her husband's slave, not a wife.
  • Q Bukhari, Vol. 7, Number 22

  • Unmarried people who have sex are to be whipped 100 lashes and sent into exile for one year.
  • Q Bukhari, Vol. 3, Number 817

  • Although Islam teaches getting into heaven is a matter of having your good deeds outweigh your bad deeds, there are certain things that guarantee heaven:  memorizing the 99 names of Allah, having 2 of your children die before you in jihad, and killing someone who does not believe in Islam.
  • Q Bukhari, Vol. 3, Number 894.  Bukhari, Vol. 2, Number 341.  Bukhari, Vol. 1, Number 35

  • Allah encourages lying to non-believers to keep the peace or to overpower them.
  • Q Bukhari, Vol. 3, Number 857

  • Allah forbids women from wearing wigs or hair extensions.
  • Q Bukhari, Vol. 7, Number 133

  • Muslims are not allowed to wear the color yellow.
  • Q Muslim, Book 24, Number 5173

  • Yawning is from Satan and to be avoided at all costs.
  • Q Bukhari, Vol. 8, Number 242

  • Muhammad taught that all dogs should be killed.
  • Q Bukhari, Vol. 4, Number 540

  • Muhammad urged women to breast-feed grown young men so that the men would be considered family and therefore able to be around the unveiled women and would be unable to marry the women.
  • Q Muslim, Book 8, Number 3426

  • It is sinful to lie on your back with your feet crossed one on top of the other.
  • Q Muslim, Book 24, Number 5238
