#Last Hour

[nstmgcomic]

This is a piece I did for @derpseafish's challenge for their upcoming comic Last Hour! The prompt is to draw your characters in a destroyed/apocalyptic world. So I drew the Sirus overlooking a destroyed world bc they've seen a few of them! Thanks to derp for hosting this event, I got to draw something I don't usually draw :D

Did Mohammed actually intend for his cult to outlive him by hundreds of years? If so, did he think he was putting a force of good in the world?

He thought the end of the world was coming.

The whole "final prophet" thing was not like "the final VHS recorder." Muhammad's claim was that he was the final prophet before Judgment Day, aka the Last Hour. Islamic mythology insists that only "Allah" knows when that will be, but like Jesus, Muhammad was completely certain that it would happen within the lifetimes of at least some of his followers. I previously made a post here about the end-times prophecies of Jesus (bible), Muhammad (hadith) and "Allah" (quran), but here's a few select quotes.

https://quranx.com/21.1

Closer and closer to mankind comes their Reckoning: yet they heed not and they turn away.

https://quranx.com/Tafsir/Kathir/21.1

The Hour is at hand but People are heedless. This is a warning from Allah of the approach of the Hour, and that people are heedless of it, i.e., they are not working for it or preparing for it.

https://quranx.com/54.1

The Hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and the moon is cleft asunder.

https://quranx.com/Tafsir/Kathir/54.1

The Hour draws near; the cleaving of the Moon Allah informs about the approach of the Last Hour and the imminent end and demise of the world,  

https://quranx.com/hadith/Muslim/USC-MSA/Book-41/Hadith-7049/

Anas reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: I and the Last Hour have been sent like this and (he while doing it) joined the forefinger with the middle finger.

https://quranx.com/hadith/Muslim/USC-MSA/Book-41/Hadith-7051/

Anas reported that a person asked Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as to when the Last Hour would come. He had in his presence a young boy of the Ansar who was called Muhammad. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: If this young boy lives, he may not grow very old till (he would see) the Last Hour coming to you.

Muslims will always insist that "Allah" is eternal, timeless, etc, therefore time to him is different than time to us. Therefore, 1400 years could still be "soon." Except that a higher, eternal, timeless creature would experience every moment of time simultaneously. We perceive length, breadth and depth of everything around us simultaneously, but only one moment in time. So "Allah" should perceive time the same way we perceive everything between us and the horizon. So, this apologetic makes no sense.

Besides, Muhammad wasn't eternal or timeless, and he did plenty of describing of how soon it would happen. And why would "Allah" give warnings based on his own perception of time, not human perception? If "soon" to "Allah" is anywhere from 5 minutes to 5 billion years, what's the point basing a prophecy, a warning for humans, on Allah-time?

I don't know that he thought he was putting a force of "good" out into the world. Rather, he thought he was preparing the world for the end, by any means necessary. This is evident by the inordinate number of ayahs warning people about pagans, Xians, non-believers, everyone who isn't a Muslim, and particularly Jews. They're the worst people, so don't have anything to do with them, because Allah won't like it. At bottom, "bEcOz jUdGmEnT dAy" is pretty much the justification for everything in Islam.

Like Xians, Muslims are looking forward to the end of the world, when the Dajjal (false prophet, i.e. Antichrist) comes, and Isa (Jesus) returns to destroy all religion except for Islam, and condemn the non-Muslims. Almost as much as they're looking forward to the Caliphate rising, when they'll murder all their non-Muslim neighbors and band together to fight everyone to secure Islamic supremacy.

Islam's primitiveness, barbarism and complete incompatibility with modern sensibilities demonstrates to that "any day" now expectation. Islam was never supposed to last this long.

So, he was sort of spreading "good" in the same way that Islam spreads "peace" and the Borg spread "perfection" - through absolute subjugation. Which is, after all, the definition of Islam: submission.

Is that a lot of money to you?

If not, then please consider donating that amount to Safa'a and her family, who are desperate to escape the war in Gaza and start over. The fundraiser is in Euros, but a Dollar is worth an Euro, so you don't have to convert anything again! Just donate the same amount!

And if it is, then donate what you can - half an hour, ten minutes, whatever you can spare. Many small donations are what we're going for! And of course, if you can spare more hours for her, please do!

Please, let's help her out. Her fundraiser is vetted!
