THE BIBLE, THE QURAN, AND THE HADITHS: A SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON
Unknown to many because of the propaganda in each camp, the Quran and the Bible say the same basic things and contain the same themes. Both say their religion is the only way to God. To attack the themes of one is to attack the themes of the other because they are the same themes with different names and faces to them. The militant attitudes are identical, sparing few who don't comply. The Quran and the Hadiths of Islam discriminate against women; so do the Bible and canon law. Hadiths are considered reliable chains of unbroken transmissions of the words of Muhammed and his companions. Hadiths are part of the supporting foundation to the Islamic court, the Sharia, which is intolerant like the Bible in regards to sexuality and religious pluralism. The Sharia Court is to Islam what the Sanhedrin Court was to ancient orthodox Jews. They were no friends of ethical, proportionate justice. Just as liberal Christians reject the authenticity of a God who damns sinners forever, liberal Muslims reject the Hadith's authority claimed by conservative Muslims. Shi'ites reject Sunni Hadiths, Sunnis reject Shi'ite ones and both accept some.
The Quran and the Hadiths condemn homosexuals; so do the Bible and church tradition. The Quran promises eternal hellfire for idolators, apostates and unbelievers; so does the New Testament. The Quran promises a last Day of Judgment and a Day of Resurrection; so does the Bible. The Quran promises an endtime gathering with the angels; so does the Bible. Both also have the blowing of trumpets heralding the end. The Quran claims it is the sole guardian of cosmic truth; so does the Bible. Both religions tolerate none and both require belief in its message for one to be saved.
Islamic history is full of religious wars, persecutions and executions, so is the Old Testament and Christian history. Wholesale slaughter in the name of God was not uncommon under these religious regimes. Islamic history is full of sectarian violence and persecution; so is Christian history. Sunnis and Shi'ites have been killing each other just as Protestants and Catholics did before the European Enlightenment. Christians have persecuted pagans and targeted their temples for destruction; so have the Muslim sects. The Quran and the Bible both have that bizarre, contradictory, schizophrenic mix of a supposedly merciful, loving deity who also promises a doom of eternal suffering in a firey hell if you dont see things his way. Both Gods are muderously jealous. The Bible, the Quran and the Hadiths lack an ethical standard of justice acceptable to modern societies with rights protecting constitutions.
Christian fundamentalists like Ann Coulter attack Islam as being fascist but there really is not much difference between the militancy of the Bible and that of the Quran. Both demand a lock-step march to their demands. Both use violence and intimidation of one sort or another to coerce conformity in order to create a monolithic and uniform society.
Compounding the intolerance found in the Quran is the violent nature of the Muslim Hadiths. The Hadiths touching on punishments are full of horrific violence against adulterers, unbelievers and homosexuals. The violence and injustice towards those deem sinful and asocial in the Hadiths and the Bible are nearly identical. Following Old Testament tradition as Muslims do, Protestant colonies of New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut made laws condemning unbelievers, adulterers and homosexuals to death. Contrary to common conceptions, the Quran does not order death for adultery; it orders one hundred lashes for both the man and woman. Still, its a violent and inappropriate punishment to say the least. These are the kinds of punishemtns that get perpetuated in socoieties with no rightsa to privacy. Whipping for adultery was also used in some colonies. Hadiths, not the Quran, are also what is behind the chopping off of limbs and heads. Neither the Bible nor the Quran order any kind of chopping. The Hadiths and those Christian Kings surviving under the Divine Right of Kings ordered a lot of chopping.
The intolerance of the Hadiths is also similar to the judicial savagery found in the church-state alliances of the Christianized Roman Empire in late antiquity; 306-565. They are totalitarian, pharisaical and prone to violent punishments for those who dissent. The Hadiths as laws enacted by the Sharia courts are like the judicial proceedings of the Protestant inquisitions that brought us the burning times when up to a hundred thousand were burned as heretics or witches by those of Puritan and Calvinistic leanings. The quality of justice in the Bible is of the same species as that found in Islam and secular dictatorships.
Inherent in the Bible, the Sanhedrin, Church Councils, the Quran, the Sharia, the Hadiths and every secular dictatorship in history, is the obsession to control both the public and private lives of all. That can mean no privacy rights.
According to Muslims, Muhammad ascended to heaven during his mi'raj; Jesus also did his ascending to heaven. The Old testament's Enoch escaped death and rose to heaven in the flesh supposedly because of his righteousness. Judeo-Christianity and Islam are not the only religions that seem to be congruent. On his last day, Hinduism's Krishna ascended to heaven. Mithraic lore has Mithras saying he is the way, the light and the truth and one had to eat of his flesh and drink of his blood to be saved. A Mithraic prayer asks for God to breathe his spirit into one in order to be born again. Catholic tradition has the Virgin Mary ascending to heaven in what is called The Assumption. Mithras, who was also called the Son of God, was resurrected from the dead after 3 days and, like Jesus, interceded for the dead while in the underworld. Mithras also said that one had to drink opf his blood and eat of his flesh to be sdaved. Krishna and Mithras were also believed to be divine godmen who were born of virgins. Like Jesus they were divinity made flesh. The Bible claims Jesus was concieved in a virgin by God'sHoly Spirit. Virgin births are pagan in origin. Judaism rejects as blasphemy the idea that God could take on flesh. In Greek mythology, Hercules is the child of the King of Gods and a women. Jupiter means Father. The Persian religions of Zoroastrianism and Manicheanism also fit into this overlapping religions paradigm. Mithraism is of Persian origin, too. Zoroastrianism, whose prophet Zarathustra prophecied the coming of Mithras, has a violent firey end of the world, too. There are many overlaps, adoptions and tribe-specific adaptations in these religions.
This page will be limited to the demands and traditions that came from the Bible and the Quran. What follows is a side-by-side comparison of the Bible, the Quran and the Hadiths. .

Surah 9:29:

Surah 9:73-74:
"Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fire. They swear by God that they said nothing. Yet they uttered the word of unbelief and renounced Islam after embracing it. They sought to do what they could not attain. Yet they had no reason to be spiteful except perhaps because God and His apostle had enriched them through His bounty.

They shall have none on this earth to protect or help them."

Lo! Allah hath cursed the disbelievers, and hath prepared for them a flaming fire, 33:65 Wherein they will abide forever. They will find (then) no protecting friend nor helper.
Surah 41:28:
That is the reward of Allah's enemies: the Fire. Therein is their immortal home, payment forasmuch as they denied Our revelations.
Surah 47:25:
Lo! those who turn back after the guidance hath been manifested unto them, Satan hath seduced them, and He giveth them the rein. 47:26 That is because they say unto those who hate what Allah hath revealed: We will obey you in some matters; and Allah knoweth their secret talk. 47:27 Then how (will it be with them) when the angels gather them, smiting their faces and their backs!
Surah 57:18

Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn 'Abbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, 'Don't punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.' "
Sahih Bukhari Book 83, Number 17
Allah's Messenger said, "The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Messenger, cannot be shed except in three cases: in Qisas (equality in punishment) for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse and the one who reverts from Islam (Apostate) and leaves the Muslims."
Sahih Bukhari, Book 9, Number 37

Sahih Bukhari Book 84, Number 57:
Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to 'Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn 'Abbas who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah's Apostle forbade it, saying, 'Do not punish anybody with Allah's punishment (fire).' I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah's Apostle, 'Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'"
Sahih Bukhari Book 92, Number 388:
When Allah's Apostle died and Abu Bakr was elected as a Caliph after him, some of the Arabs reverted to disbelief, 'Umar said to Abu Bakr, "How dare you fight the people while Allah's Apostle said, I have been ordered to fight the people till they say 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah' And whoever says: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' waves his wealth and his life from me unless he deserves a legal punishment lusty, and his account will be with Allah! Abu Bakr said, "By Allah, I will fight him who discriminates between Zakat and prayers, for Zakat is the Compulsory right to be taken from the wealth By Allah, if they refuse to give me even a tying rope which they use to give to Allah's Apostle, I would fight them for withholding it." 'Umar said, 'By Allah, It was nothing, except I saw that Allah had opened the chest of Abu Bakr to the fight, and I came to know for certain that was the truth."
Sahih Bukhari Book 89, Number 271:
A man embraced Islam and then reverted back to Judaism. Mu'adh bin Jabal came and saw the man with Abu Musa. Mu'adh asked, "What is wrong with this (man)?" Abu Musa replied, "He embraced Islam and then reverted back to Judaism." Mu'adh said, "I will not sit down unless you kill him (as it is) the verdict of Allah and His Apostle
Sunan Abu-Dawud Book 38 Number 4341:
AbuMusa said: Mu'adh came to me when I was in the Yemen. A man who was Jew embraced Islam and then retreated from Islam. When Mu'adh came, he said: I will not come down from my mount until he is killed. He was then killed. One of them said: He was asked to repent before that.
Sunan Abu-Dawud Book 38 Number 4348:

When the morning came, the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) was informed about it. Thereupon the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Oh be witness, no retaliation is payable for her blood.
Sunan Abu-Dawud Book 38 Number 4349:
A Jewess used to abuse the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and disparage him. A man strangled her till she died. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) declared that no recompense was payable for her blood.

RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE: THE RESURRECTION AND THE LAST DAY

Zephaniah 1:14:The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. 1:15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, 1:16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.1:17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. 1:18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

Revelations 20:11-12
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

Surah 3:30:On the Day when every soul will find itself confronted with all that it hath done of good and all that it hath done of evil (every soul) will long that there might be a mighty space of distance between it and that (evil).

Surah 3:77:
Lo! those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's covenant and their oaths, they have no portion in the Hereafter. Allah will neither speak to them nor look upon them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He make them grow. Theirs will be a painful doom.
Surah 5:40-44
The unbelievers, though they possessed all that is in the earth, and the like of it with it, to ransom themselves from the chastisement of the Day of Resurrection thereby, it would not be accepted of them; for them awaits a painful chastisement. They will desire to come forth from the Fire, but they will not come forth from it; for them awaits a lasting chastisement. And the thief, male and female: cut off the hands of both, as a recompense for what they have earned, and a punishment exemplary from God; God is All-mighty, All-wise. But whoso repents, after his evildoing, and makes amends, God will turn towards him; God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. Knowest thou not that to God belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth? He chastises whom He will, and forgives whom He will; and God is powerful over everything.

As for those who will be wretched (on that day) they will be in the Fire; sighing and wailing will be their portion therein, 11:107 Abiding there so long as the heavens and the earth endure save for that which thy Lord willeth. Lo! thy Lord is Doer of what He will. 11:108 And as for those who will be glad (that day) they will be in the Garden, abiding there so long as the heavens and the earth endure save for that which thy Lord willeth: a gift unfailing.
Surah 14:48:
On the day when the earth will be changed to other than the earth, and the heavens (also will be changed) and they will come forth unto Allah, the One, the Almighty, 14:49 Thou wilt see the guilty on that day linked together in chains, Their clothing will be made of pitch and fire will cover their faces.14:50 Their raiment of pitch, and the Fire covering their faces, 14:51 That Allah may repay each soul what it hath earned. Lo! Allah is swift at reckoning. 14:52 This is a clear message for mankind in order that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is only One God, and that men of understanding may take heed.
Surah 20:124
But he who turneth away from remembrance of Me, his will be a narrow life, and I shall bring him blind to the assembly on the Day of Resurrection. 20:125 He will say: My Lord! Wherefor hast Thou gathered me (hither) blind, when I was wont to see? 20:126 He will say: So (it must be). Our revelations came unto thee but thou didst forget them. In like manner thou art forgotten this Day.
Surah 22:56:
The Sovereignty on that day [another translation says, "Day of Dominion"] will be Allah's, He will judge between them. Then those who believed and did good works will be in Gardens of Delight, 22:57 While those who disbelieved and denied Our revelations, for them will be a shameful doom.

And it is said unto the angels: Assemble those who did wrong, together with their wives and what they used to worship 37:23 Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell;
Surah 39:67 And they esteem not Allah as He hath the right to be esteemed, when the whole earth is His handful on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens are rolled in His right hand. Glorified is He and High Exalted from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him). 39:68 And the trumpet is blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are in the earth swoon away, save him whom Allah willeth. Then it is blown a second time, and behold them standing waiting! 39:69 And the earth shineth with the light of her Lord, and the Book is set up, and the prophets and the witnesses are brought, and it is judged between them with truth, and they are not wronged. 39:70 And each soul is paid in full for what it did. And He is Best Aware of what they do. 39:71 And those who disbelieve are driven unto hell in troops till, when they reach it and the gates thereof are opened, and the warders thereof say unto them: Came there not unto you messengers of your own, reciting unto you the revelations of your Lord and warning you of the meeting of this your Day ? they say: Yea, verily. But the word of doom of disbelievers is fulfilled. 39:72 It is said (unto them): Enter ye the gates of hell to dwell therein. Thus hapless is the journey's end of the scorners.
Surah 51:10:
Accursed be the conjecturers 51:11 Who are careless in an abyss! 51:12 They ask: When is the Day of Judgment? 51:13 (It is) the day when they will be tormented at the Fire, 51:14 (And it will be said unto them): Taste your torment (which ye inflicted). This is what ye sought to hasten. 51:15 Lo! those who keep from evil will dwell amid gardens and watersprings,..
Surah 58:22:
Thou wilt not find folk who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allah and His messenger, even though they be their fathers or their sons or their brethren or their clan. As for such, He hath written faith upon their hearts and hath strengthened them with a Spirit from Him, and He will bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide. Allah is well pleased with them, and they are well pleased with Him. They are Allah's party. Lo! is it not Allah's party who are the successful?
Surah 74:31:
We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling-block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude ? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals.
Sahih Bukhari Book 8, Number 419:
Um Habiba and Um Salama mentioned about a church they had seen in Ethiopia in which there were pictures. They told the Prophet about it, on which he said, "If any religious man dies amongst those people they would build a place of worship at his grave and make these pictures in it. They will be the worst creature in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection."
Sahih Bukhari Book 55, Number 569:
The Prophet said, "On the Day of Resurrection Abraham will meet his father Azar whose face will be dark and covered with dust.(The Prophet Abraham will say to him): 'Didn't I tell you not to disobey me?' His father will reply: 'Today I will not disobey you.' 'Abraham will say: 'O Lord! You promised me not to disgrace me on the Day of Resurrection; and what will be more disgraceful to me than cursing and dishonoring my father?' Then Allah will say (to him):' 'I have forbidden Paradise for the disbelievers." Then he will be addressed, 'O Abraham! Look! What is underneath your feet?' He will look and there he will see a Dhabh (an animal,) blood-stained, which will be caught by the legs and thrown in the (Hell) Fire."
Sahih Bukhari Book 55, Number 626:
Once while a Jew was selling something, he was offered a price that he was not pleased with. So, he said, "No, by Him Who gave Moses superiority over all human beings!" Hearing him, an Ansari man got up and slapped him on the face and said, "You say: By Him Who Gave Moses superiority over all human beings although the Prophet (Muhammad) is present amongst us!" The Jew went to the Prophet and said, "O Abu-l-Qasim! I am under the assurance and contract of security, so what right does so-and-so have to slap me?" The Prophet asked the other, "Why have you slapped". He told him the whole story. The Prophet became angry, till anger appeared on his face, and said, "Don't give superiority to any prophet amongst Allah's Prophets, for when the trumpet will be blown, everyone on the earth and in the heavens will become unconscious except those whom Allah will exempt. The trumpet will be blown for the second time and I will be the first to be resurrected to see Moses holding Allah's Throne. I will not know whether the unconsciousness which Moses received on the Day of Tur has been sufficient for him, or has he got up before me. And I do not say that there is anybody who is better than Yunus bin Matta."
Sahih Bukhari Book 60 Number 254:
Allah's Apostle said, "On the Day of Resurrection Death will be brought forward in the shape of a black and white ram. Then a call maker will call, 'O people of Paradise!' Thereupon they will stretch their necks and look carefully. The caller will say, 'Do you know this?' They will say, 'Yes, this is Death.' By then all of them will have seen it. Then it will be announced again, 'O people of Hell !' They will stretch their necks and look carefully. The caller will say, 'Do you know this?' They will say, 'Yes, this is Death.' And by then all of them will have seen it. Then it (that ram) will be slaughtered and the caller will say, 'O people of Paradise! Eternity for you and no death O people of Hell! Eternity for you and no death."' Then the Prophet, recited:-- 'And warn them of the Day of distress when the case has been decided, while (now) they are in a state of carelessness (i.e. the people of the world) and they do not believe.' (19.39)
Sahih Bukhari Book 60, Number 337-338:
The Prophet said, "I will be the first to raise my head after the second blowing of the trumpet and will see Moses hanging the Throne, and I will not know whether he had been in that state all the time or after the blowing of the trumpet." The Prophet said, "Between the two blowing of the trumpet there will be forty." The people said, "O Abu Huraira! Forty days?" I refused to reply. They said, "Forty years?" I refused to reply and added: Everything of the human body will decay except the coccyx bone (of the tail) and from that bone Allah will reconstruct the whole body.
Sahih Bukhari Book 84, Number 64:
Whenever I tell you a narration from Allah's Apostle, by Allah, I would rather fall down from the sky than ascribe a false statement to him, but if I tell you something between me and you (not a Hadith) then it was indeed a trick (i.e., I may say things just to cheat my enemy). No doubt I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "During the last days there will appear some young foolish people who will say the best words but their faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have no faith) and will go out from (leave) their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So, where-ever you find them, kill them, for who-ever kills them shall have reward on the Day of Resurrection."
Sahih Muslim Book 39 Number 6733, 6735:
Anas b. Malik reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Allah, the Exalted and High, would say to one who shall have to undergo the least torture (on the Day of Resurrection): Would you like to go as ransom if you had all worldly riches; he would say: Yes. Allah would say to him: When you were in the loins of Adam, I demadded from you something easier than this that you should not associate anything with Me. (The narrator says): I think He also said: I would not cause you to enter Hell-Fire but you defied and attributed Divinity (to others besides Me). Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be u n him) said: It would be said to the non-believers on the Day of Resurrection: If you were to possess gold, filling the whole earth, would you like to secure your freedom by paying that? He would say: Yes. Thereupon it would be said to him: Something easier (than this) was demanded from you (but you paid no heed to it).
Sahih Muslim Book 39 Number 6738:
Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said that one amongst the denizens of Hell who had led a life of ease and plenty amongst the people of the world would be made to dip in Fire only once on the Day of Resurrection and then it would be said to him: O, son of Adam, did you find any comfort, did you happen to get any material blessing? He would say: By Allah, no, my Lord. And then that person from amongst the persons of the world be brought who had led the most miserable life (in the world) from amongst the inmates of Paradise. and he would be made to dip once in Paradise and it would be said to him. 0, son of Adam, did you face, any hardship? Or had any distress fallen to your lot? And he would say: By Allah, no,0 my Lord, never did I face any hardship or experience any distress.
Sunan Al-Tirmidhi:
Even if the entire duration of the world's existence has already been exhausted and only one day is left before the Day of Judgment, Allah will expand that day to such a length of time, as to accommodate the kingdom of a person out of my Ahl al-Bayt who will be called by my name. He will then fill the Earth with peace and justice as it will have been filled with injustice and tyranny before then.

Hadith Qudsi 10:On the authority of Abu Harayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH), who said: Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says: Fasting is Mine and it I who give reward for it. [A man] gives up his sexual passion, his food and his drink for my sake. Fasting is like a shield, and he who fasts has two joys: a joy whin he breaks his fast and a joy when he meets his Lord. The change in the breath of the mouth of him who fasts is better in Allah's estimation than the smell of musk.
It was related by al-Bukhari (also by Muslim, Malik, at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah).
Hadith Qudsi Number 40 (Al-Bukhari)
On the authority of Ibn 'Umar, radiyallahu 'anhuma, who said: The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, took me by the shoulder and said: "Be in this world as though you were a stranger or a traveler/wayfarer." Ibn 'Umar used to say: "When evening comes, do not expect (to live till) morning, and when morning comes, do not expect (to live till) evening. Take from your health (a preparation) for your illness, and from your life for your death."

Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are wrong-doers.Surah Sunan Abu-Dawud Book 38 Number 4403:The people said to Sa'd ibn Ubadah: AbuThabit, the prescribed punishments have been revealed: if you find a man with your wife, what will you do? He said: I shall strike them with a sword so much that they become silent (i.e. die). Should I go and gather four witnesses? Until that (time) the need would be fulfilled.
So they went away and gathered with the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) and said: Apostle of Allah! did you not see AbuThabit. He said so-and-so. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: The sword is a sufficient witness. He then said: No, no, a furious and a jealous man may follow this course.

I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.7:17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.7:18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.7:22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; 7:23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.7:24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.7:25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.7:26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. 7:27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
Surah 4: 15:And for the harlots [prostitutes] among your women, call four witnesses, from among your people, against them. Thus, if they testify, then confine them to their houses until death claims them or God ordains for them another way.
Surah 4:16
And for the two, who are guilty of lewdness [fornicators] from among you, punish them both [with a beating]. Then if they repent and [promise to] correct their behavior, then let them be. Indeed God accepts repentance most; Infinitely Merciful.
Surah 17:32
And come not near unto adultery. Lo! it is an abomination and an evil way.
Surah 17:32
And come not near to unlawful sexual intercourse. Verily, it is a faahishah (a great sin) and an evil way.
Surah 24:2
The adulterer and the adulteress, scourge ye each one of them (with) a hundred stripes. And let not pity for the twain withhold you from obedience to Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a party of believers witness their punishment. Scourge adulterers and adulteresses with 100 stripes. Do not show them any pity. Have a party of believers watch the punishment. 24:3 The adulterer shall not marry save an adulteress or an idolatress, and the adulteress none shall marry save an adulterer or an idolater. All that is forbidden unto believers. Only adulterers can marry adulteresses. Believers are not to marry them. 24:4 And those who accuse honourable women but bring not four witnesses, scourge them (with) eighty stripes and never (afterward) accept their testimony - They indeed are evil-doers
Another translation reads:
For the male and the female guilty of fornication, flog them both a hundred stripes. Let not mercy for them overtake you in the implementation of God's law, if you truly believe in God and the Final Day. And let the implementation of the punishment be witnessed by a group of believers.
25:68-70
And those who invoke not any other god along with Allah, nor kill such life as Allah has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse (zina) and whoever does this shall receive the punishment. The torment will be doubled to him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein in disgrace; except those who repent and believe and do righteous deeds, for those Allah will change their sins into good deeds, and Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Sahih Muslim Book 17 Number 4191-4192:'Ubada b. as-Samit reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Receive (teaching) from me, receive (teaching) from me. Allah has ordained a way for those (women). When an unmarried male commits adultery with an unmarried female (they should receive) one hundred lashes and banishment for one year. And in case of married male committing adultery with a married female, they shall receive one hundred lashes and be stoned to death. 'Ubada b. as-Samit reported that whenever Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) received revelation, he felt its rigour and the complexion of his face changed. One day revelation descended upon him, he felt the same rigour. When it was over and he felt relief, he said: Take from me. Verily Allah has ordained a way for them (the women who commit fornication),: (When) a married man (commits adultery) with a married woman, and an unmarried male with an unmarried woman, then in case of married (persons) there is (a punishment) of one hundred lashes and then stoning (to death). And in case of unmarried persons, (the punishment) is one hundred lashes and exile for one year.
Sunan Abu-Dawud Book 38 Number 4442:
I met my uncle who was carrying a standard. I asked him: Where are you going? He said: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) has sent me to a man who has married his father's wife. He has ordered me to cut off his head and take his property.
Sahih Muslim Book 017, Number 4194:
'Abdullah b. 'Abbas reported that 'Umar b. Khattab sat on the pulpit of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said: Verily Allah sent Muhammad (may peace be upon him) with truth and He sent down the Book upon him, and the verse of stoning was included in what was sent down to him. We recited it, retained it in our memory and understood it. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) awarded the punishment of stoning to death (to the married adulterer and adulteress) and, after him, we also awarded the punishment of stoning, I am afraid that with the lapse of time, the people (may forget it) and may say: We do not find the punishment of stoning in the Book of Allah, and thus go astray by abandoning this duty prescribed by Allah. Stoning is a duty laid down in Allah's Book for married men and women who commit adultery when proof is established, or it there is pregnancy, or a confession.
Sunan Abu-Dawud Book 38, Number 4424
A man committed fornication with a woman. So the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) ordered regarding him and the prescribed punishment of flogging was inflicted on him. He was then informed that he was married. So he commanded regarding him and he was stoned to death.
Sunan Abu-Dawud Book 38 Number 4421:
I was working in the market. A woman passed carrying a child. The people rushed towards her, and I also rushed along with them. I then went to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) while he was asking: Who is the father of this (child) who is with you? She remained silent.
A young man by her side said: I am his father, Apostle of Allah! He then turned towards her and asked: Who is the father of this child with you? The young man said: I am his father, Apostle of Allah! The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) then looked at some of those who were around him and asked them about him. They said: We only know good (about him).
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said to him: Are you married? He said: Yes. So he gave orders regarding him and he was stoned to death. He (the narrator) said: We took him out, dug a pit for him and put him in it. We then threw stones at him until he died.
Sunan Abu-Dawud Book 38 Number 4426:
A woman belonging to the tribe of Juhaynah (according to the version of Aban) came to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and said that she had committed fornication and that she was pregnant. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) called her guardian.
Then the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said to him: Be good to her, and when she bears a child, bring her (to me). When she gave birth to the child, he brought her (to him). The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) gave orders regarding her, and her clothes were tied to her. He then commanded regarding her and she was stoned to death.
Al-Tirmidhi Number 3118
The Prophet (saaws) said, "Whenever a man is alone with a woman the Devil makes a third."

HOMOSEXUALITY

Leviticus 20:13If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Romans 1:26
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Surah 7:80-84 7:80And Lot! (Remember) when he said unto his folk: Will ye commit abomination such as no creature ever did before you? 7:81 Lo! ye come with lust unto men instead of women. Nay, but ye are wanton folk. 7:82 And the answer of his people was only that they said (one to another): Turn them out of your township. They are folk, forsooth, who keep pure. 7:83 And We rescued him and his household, save his wife, who was of those who stayed behind. 7:84 And We rained a rain upon them. See now the nature of the consequence of evil-doers!
Surah 26:160 The folk of Lot denied the messengers (of Allah), 26:161 When their brother Lot said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil) ? 26:162 Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you, 26:163 So keep your duty to Allah and obey me. 26:164 And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds. 26:165 What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males, 26:166 And leave the wives your Lord created for you ? Nay, but ye are froward folk. 26:167 They said: If thou cease not, O Lot, thou wilt soon be of the outcast. 26:168 He said: I am in truth of those who hate your conduct. 26:169 My Lord! Save me and my household from what they do. 26:170 So We saved him and his household, every one, 26:171 Save an old woman among those who stayed behind. 26:172 Then afterward We destroyed the others. 26:173 And We rained on them a rain. And dreadful is the rain of those who have been warned. 26:174 Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.
Surah 27:54
And Lot! when he said unto his folk: Will ye commit abomination knowingly ? But he "saved those who believed." 27:55 Must ye needs lust after men instead of women ? Nay, but ye are folk who act senselessly.
Surah 54:33
The folk of Lot rejected warnings. 54:34 Lo! We sent a storm of stones upon them (all) save the family of Lot, whom We rescued in the last watch of the night
Sunan Abu-Dawud Book 38 Number 4448:If a man who is not married is seized committing sodomy, he will be stoned to death.
