Interviewer: How does one conduct relationships in Paradise – whether with the black-eyed virgins or with Muslim women who entered Paradise?

[...]

Muhammad Al-Munajid: Allah said that the black-eyed virgins are beautiful white young women, with black pupils and very white retinas, whose skin is so delicate and bright that it causes confusion. Allah said that they are like hidden pearls.

They have wide eyes, and they have not been touched by man or jinn. They are virgins, who yearn for their husbands. They are all the same age, morally and physically beautiful. They are like precious gems and pearls in their splendor, their clarity, their purity, and their whiteness. They are like hidden pearls – as pure as a pearl within a shell, untouched by man. Each one of them is so beautiful that you can see the bone-marrow through the delicate flesh on their legs.
Such brilliant beauty does not exist in this world. Where can you find such beauty?

Whereas the women of this world may suffer, for days and nights, from menstruation, from blood for 40 days after childbirth, from vaginal bleeding and from diseases – the women of Paradise are pure, unblemished, menstruation-free, free of feces, urine, phlegm, children...

Moreover, Allah cleaned them of all impure and foul things, both in appearance and character. In character, they are not jealous, hateful, or angry. They are not greedy.

[...]

They are restricted to tents, locked up for the husband. There is no such thing as going out. When he comes home – they are there. There is no such thing in Paradise as a man coming home and not finding his wife there. Allah described them as women who lower their gaze, and never look at anybody but their husband. As for deriving pleasure – the man is given the strength of...
Interviewer: Sheik Muhammad, you said she looks only at her husband, but today, things are different. Today, husbands don't look only at their wives, or vice versa – except for a few, on whom Allah has taken mercy.

Muhammad Al-Munajid: There are some pious, pure men, who have eyes only for their wives, and there are some pious, pure, and obedient wives, who have eyes only for their husbands. But today, in the marketplace, in films, and so on, people's eyes roam freely. The Internet... The people of this world... There is a big difference when it comes to deriving pleasure. In this world, men work hard and tire themselves out in order to derive pleasure. The Prophet Muhammad says that in Paradise, a man gets the strength of 100 men when it comes to eating, drinking, passion, and sex.

Gulf labour laws fail to halt abuse

By Charles Stratford

Every year thousands of women arrive in the Gulf to take up jobs as domestic workers.

The majority of them leave behind their families on a huge financial gamble to try to earn enough in remittances.

But behind closed doors, in the homes of their employers, some find themselves trapped in a cycle of horrific abuse.

Al Jazeera's Charles Stratford spoke to one housemaid, Mary, who suffered two years of abuse in the United Arab Emirates.

Two and a half years ago, Mary left her family in East Africa to work as a maid in a private house in the Middle East.

"The beatings started on the second day," she said. "No day passed without beatings. If she didn't beat me in the day she would beat me at night."

One day she was ordered to have sex with another maid. When she refused, her employer threatened her with more beatings.

"She said the law was in her favour. Not in mine," Mary said.

Simel Esim, a specialist in domestic worker abuse at the International Labour Organisation (ILO), said the workers are simply not protected by labour laws.

"Domestic workers ... are excluded from unionising and organising around the globe," she said.

"[This] kind of economic infrastructure [in the Gulf] has created a huge inflow of labour migration that requires immediate and urgent attention.

"The sponsorship system ... The way it is set up, it is bound to fail.

"You are attaching a person's legal status, visa status and employment to one person as the employer and also the provider of housing, food and health care.

"It creates total dependency and total dependency means total vulnerability and opens the door wide for abuse and exploitation."

Mary left her country determined to earn money for her family. But two years later, she is horrified at the prospect of her family knowing about her suffering.

"How can I go back home with this body? My mother is sick," she said. "If she sees me like this she will die of shock. I am so ashamed to see my friends. Even now I feel shame."

Child Services Refuses to Investigate Child Abuse, Sexual Abuse, Beatings in Shariah Class at the al Farooq Mosque in Nashville

By Pamela Geller

Back on April 9th, I exposed the first-hand undercover investigation that was done in Al-Farooq mosque in Nashville, TN. What had been exposed was unthinkable.

I ran video footage of a first-hand undercover investigation done in Al-Farooq mosque. Go here to hear a 7-year-old talk about her husband and how they are beaten during shariah class.

It was easy to understand why un-indicted co-conspirator (and Zakat-eligible) CAIR has been working feverishly to keep the FBI out of the mosques. Their daily action alerts are rife with accusations of some bogus grievance, some right violated .....all to protect the most heinous crimes.

Many Atlas readers wrote in large numbers to law enforcement, child services and the prosecutor's office, demanding that the child abuse be investigated and prosecuted so that the little girls' lives could be saved. Read more ...
