I'm not sure why Allah feels this way, but according to Muhammad, he does. Here's what the prophet supposedly said about it.
Five practices are characteristics of the fitrah: circumcision, shaving the pubic hairs, cutting the mustaches short, clipping the nails and plucking the hair of the armpits. (Reported in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim)
And although the Quran is silent on pubic hairs, it does say that everyone must do whatever Muhammad says.
And whatsoever the messenger giveth you, take it. And whatsoever he forbiddeth, abstain (from it). And keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is stern in reprisal. Quran 59:7
So Muhammad says you must shave your pubic hair, and the Quran says you must do whatever Muhammad tells you to do. Now that you know, you have no excuse.
Here are detailed instructions on just how to do it.
It's a bit complicated ("...start shaving the pubic hair from beneath the navel, and to start on the right hand side...").
Be sure to read the instructions before starting.

So now I know who to blame for the brazilian!
WIERD!!!!!!!!!!!!. i think mohammad is living proof that allah screwed pigs and ate pork .
its just a feeling. . and had foreskin envy to boot!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not sure. but its just a feeling!!!!!!!!!!
The 3 abrahamic religions all have it in for the foreskin..
Heh, foreskin fetishism
1 Samuel 18:25
Saul replied, "Say to David, 'The king wants no other price for the bride than a hundred Philistine foreskins, to take revenge on his enemies.' " Saul's plan was to have David fall by the hands of the Philistines
1 Samuel 18:27
David and his men went out and killed two hundred Philistines. He brought their foreskins and presented the full number to the king so that he might become the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.
Ive heard some people suggest that a lot of the really strange religious laws are for the purpose of enforcing segrigation - to keep the faithful from associating with the heathens. The dietary laws, for example, make it extremally difficult for a follower to even share a meal with a non-believer. The pubic shaving just makes the non-believers laugh, and not want to be near the crazy people.
Now, now... it doesn't say that Allah hates pubic hair, just that he wants it shaved. Who knows, maybe Allah loves pubic hair so much he wants to collect all the shavings.
Here is the actual Qur'anic verses you have given, but with context and emphasis added only to understand those verses better.
(1):
2.190 Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors.
2.191 And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.
2.192 But if they cease, Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
(2):
Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you. 2:216
Warfare was not allowed for Muslims. Muslims had been being tortured for thirteen years at Mecca. Allah commanded them to go to the city of Medina, not to fight back. But the torturers came to Medina too. Then Allah commanded them to fight for their defence. But the Muslims were no more than 300 in number at the same time oppressors were thousands. Most of the Muslims in Medina were farmers. They feared of such a mighty war. But Muslims had to go to war.
(3):
Fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward. 4:74
Here is the next verse of the above. Is it still evil? No, It is fair.
And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)?- Men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from thee one who will protect; and raise for us from thee one who will help!" 4:75
(4):
Those who believe do battle for the cause of Allah; and those who disbelieve do battle for the cause of idols. So fight the minions of the devil. 4:76
Here is the translation by Abdulla Yusuf Ali, which is more accurate:
Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject Faith Fight in the cause of Evil: So fight ye against the friends of Satan: feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan. 4:76
(5):
They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them. 4:89
(6):
If they keep not aloof from you nor offer you peace nor hold their hands, then take them and kill them wherever ye find them. Against such We have given you clear warrant. 4:91
Allah didn't say, "Oh! you guys must kill innocent people without any reason." Did He?!
(7):
The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom. 5:33
As long as they are not making war upon Allah and His messenger and striving after corruption in the land they are safe and they will have their hands and feet unharmed.
(8):
I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger. 8:12
This verse was revealed to prophet when Muslims(most of them farmers, weak and had not experienced a war before) were going to their first war against their oppressors. They had no knowledge of warfare. If there were guns used in the warfare at that time, this verse will be different. (Just think about it :)
(9):
When ye meet those who disbelieve in battle, turn not your backs to them. Whoso on that day turneth his back to them, unless manoeuvring for battle or intent to join a company, he truly hath incurred wrath from Allah, and his habitation will be hell, a hapless journey's end. Ye (Muslims) slew them not, but Allah slew them. And thou (Muhammad) threwest not when thou didst throw, but Allah threw. 8:15-17
Here is a lesson for them: "Don't turn your back in war." It is shame and if you do so, then next second you are a dead meat.
(10):
And let not those who disbelieve suppose that they can outstrip (Allah's Purpose). Lo! they cannot escape. Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that thereby ye may dismay the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others beside them whom ye know not. Allah knoweth them. 8:59-60
Will you please tell me what the evil things in this verses are?
(11):
Exhort the believers to fight. If there be of you twenty steadfast they shall overcome two hundred, and if there be of you a hundred (steadfast) they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they (the disbelievers) are a folk without intelligence. 8:65
This verse was revealed to prophet when Muslims(most of them farmers, weak and had not experienced a war before) were going to their first war against their oppressors. They had no knowledge of warfare.
(12):
It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land. 8:67
Here is the translation by Abdulla Yusuf Ali, which is more accurate:
It is not fitting for a prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he hath thoroughly subdued the land. Ye look for the temporal goods of this world; but Allah looketh to the Hereafter: And Allah is Exalted in might, Wise. 8:67
Don't have captives until Allah gives permission to.
(13):
Slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. 9:5
This verse was revealed to prophet when a treaty between the Muslims and the oppressors was disregarded by the oppressors. They killed some Muslims in a month in which warfare was forbidden for Muslims. Muslims had to wait until Allah gives instructions for them. Anyway, here is the verse after the above.
If one amongst the Pagans ask thee for asylum, grant it to him, so that he may hear the word of Allah; and then escort him to where he can be secure. That is because they are men without knowledge. 9:6
(14):
If they ... assail your religion, then fight the heads of disbelief ... Will ye not fight a folk who broke their solemn pledges, and purposed to drive out the messenger and did attack you first? What! Fear ye them? Now Allah hath more right that ye should fear Him, if ye are believers Fight them! Allah will chastise them at your hands, and He will lay them low and give you victory over them. 9:12-14
Above verses in full.
And if they break their pledges after their treaty (hath been made with you) and assail your religion, then fight the heads of disbelief - Lo! they have no binding oaths - in order that they may desist. Will ye not fight a folk who broke their solemn pledges, and purposed to drive out the messenger and did attack you first? What! Fear ye them? Now Allah hath more right that ye should fear Him, if ye are believers. Fight them! Allah will chastise them at your hands, and He will lay them low and give you victory over them. 9:12-14
(15):
O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites! Be harsh with them. Their ultimate abode is hell, a hapless journey's end. 9:73
I don't like hypocrites! Do you?
(16):
Believers ... shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain. It is a promise which is binding on Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an. 9:111
Abdulla Yusuf Ali, in his interpretation of Qur'an, says:
In a human bargain both sides give something and receive some advantage. In the divine bargain of Allah with man, Allah takes man's will and soul and his wealth and goods, and gives him in return ever-lasting Felicity.
(17):
O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you. 9:123
Abdulla Yusuf Ali, in his interpretation of Qur'an, says:
When conflicts become inevitable, the first thing is to clear our surroundings of all evil, for it is only evil that we can rightly fight. To evil we must put up a stout and stiff resistance. Mealy-mouthed compromises are not right for soldiers of truth and righteousness. They are often a compound of cowardice, weariness, greed, and corruptibility.
(18):
Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks. 47:4
That verse in full:
Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom till the war lay down its burdens. That (is the ordinance). And if Allah willed He could have punished them (without you)but (thus it is ordained) that He may try some of you by means of others. 47:4
This verse also contains a command from Allah that the captives of war must not be killed.
Now compare the above verse with this:
And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them. Deuteronomy 7:2, 7:16
---------------
It is fair to read Qur'an in a historical context. And I hope that next time you will consider reading Qur'an that way. Thank you for your time to read and study Qur'an because most of the 'critiques' of Qur'an don't even try to read it.
Don't you know Allah and Yahweh are the same god?
Until now I failed to realize that when muslims kill kuffars they're actually liberating them from the burdens of this life. When muslims make dhimmis out of kuffars they're actually liberating them from oppressive freedom. Now I've been shown the truth.
actually shaving the pubic hair and armpits are all part of hygiene. in Islam cleanliness is of utmost importance. ever realised that the armpit stinks after some time? bad smell is caused by bacteria and by increasing the surface area which is warm and damp (eg hair) more bacteria grow on it. common sense, no?
kuffar means a person who covers. in context, a person who covers the truth (islam). as long as you try to stop other people from listening to what islam has to say, you are kuffar. ie you cover the truth.
The website http://www.pcosfund.com collects charitable donations towards the 'fund'. The fund pays for laser treatment for women with PCOS with the hopes of permanently getting rid of their facial hair, and restoring their dignity!
If you know somebody with PCOS who can benefit from the http://www.PCOSfund.com which pays for laser treatment, please contact us info@pcosfund.com .
Thank you for the honor!
1. Killing in self defense is what Islam preaches,,,,as I understand from verses quoted by abdullah.
You bevot, what would you say when a kafir kills a muslim?? when a kafir enslaves a muslim?? How does history relate this to crusades?
Pubic hair are dirty,,,removing foreskin is scientifically understood to be hygenic,,,,then what's the problem??
my friend fa says
I would differ with your assessment. "Hate" is a strong word, and sometimes we give up that which we love most. So you have to be open to the possibility that the requirement to shave reflects love rather than hate. Pubic hair is, after all, His creation. Why would He not love it?
Second, the act of shaving can have communal implications, so there may be a hidden agenda behind this requirement. As you read the solemn instructions, can you not envision a festive environment in which consenting adults would help each other to Do What Has To Be Done with scheduled regularity? Some naughty liquids and intoxicating smoke, and the efficient removal of hair could be slyly subverted, and replaced by licentious cavorting. Enough of this, and you could rapidly accumulate sufficient sins to justify an investment in Haj. And then the cycle starts again! Think of this as an investment program, with a lump-sum withdrawal once a year.
Last but not least, these instructions draw attention to the trivial, thereby allowing you not to focus on the important things in life. If you spend an hour a week on each trivial dictate, you can easily use up all your spare time. This allows others to set the terms under which you live life, and spares you from tough decisions. Follow the rules, and tread the pathway to heaven! What more could one want? Pass the razor, please!
