Muhammad, whom his followers blindly revere as a messenger, was in fact a merciless fighter who slaughtered innocent people in battles, seizing their property and women as spoils. A stark example of this brutality emerges in the Battle of Khaybar involving Safiyyah bint Huyayy. The Islamic hadiths themselves bear witness to this savagery, enough to evoke disgust in any civilized person.
Muhammad operated as a plunderer, violator, and exploiter of women, turning his creed into a stain on humanity. Consider Sunan Abu Dawood 2995, narrated by Anas ibn Malik: “The Prophet came to Khaybar and when Allah made him victorious and he conquered the town by breaking the enemy’s defence, the beauty of Safiyyah bint Huyayy ibn Akhtab who was the wife of Kinanah ibn ar-Rabi’ ibn Abi al-Huqayq was mentioned to him and her husband had been killed (in the battle) and she was a bride. The Apostle of Allah chose her for himself. He came out with her till we reached Sadd Al Sahba’ where she purified herself (from her menses). Then he had intercourse with her.”
This narrative reveals how Muhammad’s forces attacked Khaybar, claiming divine aid in capturing the fortress, though it was plainly the result of his bloodthirsty assault. Safiyyah’s beauty was described to Muhammad shortly after his men brutally killed her husband in the conflict. What cruelty to target a newlywed woman whose spouse had just been slain. Immediately after her husband’s death, Muhammad selected her for himself. He traveled with her, halting at Sadd al-Sahba to wait for the end of her menstrual period. Once that passed, he engaged in sexual relations with her in seclusion. Is this the behavior of a spiritual leader? No, it mirrors the actions of a battle-hardened raider who treated women as war prizes.
For more detail, examine Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 8, Hadith 371, narrated by Abdul Aziz from Anas: “When Allah’s Messenger invaded Khaibar, we offered the Fajr prayer there (early in the morning) when it was still dark. The Prophet rode and Abu Talha rode too and I was riding behind Abu Talha. The Prophet passed through the lane of Khaibar quickly and my knee was touching the thigh of the Prophet. He uncovered his thigh and I saw the whiteness of the thigh of the Prophet. When he entered the town, he said, ‘Allahu Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. Whenever we approach near a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned.’ He repeated this thrice. The people came out for their jobs and some of them said, ‘Muhammad (has come).’ (Some of our companions added, ‘With his army.’) We conquered Khaibar, took the captives, and the booty was collected. Dihya came and said, ‘O Allah’s Prophet! Give me a slave girl from the captives.’ The Prophet said, ‘Go and take any slave girl.’ He took Safiya bint Huyai. A man came to the Prophet and said, ‘O Allah’s Messenger! You gave Safiya bint Huyai to Dihya and she is the chief mistress of the tribes of Quraiza and An-Nadir and she befits none but you.’ So the Prophet said, ‘Bring him along with her.’ So Dihya came with her and when the Prophet saw her, he said to Dihya, ‘Take any slave girl other than her from the captives.’
How absurd, slaughtering her husband, dismantling her family, and then claiming her through “marriage” is nothing short of forcible possession. Muhammad’s character here reveals him as a lustful warrior who viewed women as conquests from battle. His followers spin this as mercy, but to rational minds, it stands as a brutal crime.
These incidents make it clear that Muhammad’s Islam was no spiritual path but a game of personal greed and power. He waged wars against innocent non muslims, killing them, enslaving their women and children, and adding attractive ones like Safiyyah to his harem, well, as his 10th wife!!
