Will some Dhivehin take part in the Urine & Feces Jihad?

Its a scary thought. But one that has to be taken seriously, especially by the resort hotel owners. There appears to be a nasty and disgusting pattern emerging - muslim men conducting a body waste Jihad. Poisoning food with feces is detailed as a tactic in the Al-Qaeda manual found a few years ago by British intelligence.

Also, there are precedents, both involving Muslims, as does this story:
UK: Shop-owners sold chocolate cake sprinkled with human faeces
Man Caught On Tape Sprinkling Fecal Matter On Pastries

"Man remanded after 'urine' attack," from the BBC, May 19 (thanks to Jeff):
A man has been remanded in custody charged with spraying urine at two supermarkets, a pub and a book shop.
Sahnoun Daifallah, 42, of Bibury Road, from Gloucester, appeared before magistrates and pleaded not guilty to four charges of contaminating products.
He was arrested on Friday after a substance, believed to be urine, was sprayed over produce at Tesco in Quedgeley and Morrisons at Abbeydale. [...]
In court prosecutor Liz Thomas said two days earlier Mr Daifallah used an improvised device to shower hundreds of children's books at Waterstones in Cirencester.
He is also charged with releasing the liquid over food in the Air Balloon pub, near Cheltenham....

Exclusive: Welcome to Shari'ah Holiday Tours!

Every burqa has a silver lining, but vacationing in the Maldives won't be for everyone. Check out this article at Family Security Matters. Following is part of it...with thanks to Pam Meister..

"Er, maybe not the Maldives, unless Shari'ah law is your cup of tea. If Sheikh Abdul Majeed Bari, (leader of the religious Adhaalath party scholars' council) gets his way, the death penalty for apostasy (converting from Islam to another religion) and the "amputation of hands for certain types of theft" could make their way into Maldivian law.

He believes the current legal system causes "conflicts in society." "There would be peace if the country was practicing Islamic Shari'ah," he says.

Perhaps it all depends on what your definition of "peace" is.

As the concept of Shari'ah law gains popularity in the Maldives, implications for happy vacationers could range from frustrating to downright unpleasant. Just imagine your arrival: in Hawaii, visitors are draped with leis from women in hula skirts and greeted with a friendly "Aloha!" In the Maldives, women can expect to be draped with a burka instead of a lei, while the men could receive a handbook entitled "Practical Tips for Beating Your Wife Properly (and Other Ways to Make the Most of Your Maldivian Vacation)."
.......

Okay, so the beach may not quite pan out the way you imagined, but there are still tennis lessons with the hotel pro to look forward to. Still, be careful: if anyone sees him showing you how to position yourself for your overhand shot, he might be the one with the shot - a shot in the back. And forget about having a torrid, steamy affair with him (the kind they write about in paperback romance novels), because a future feature of many luxury resort hotels could be a stoning pit located right behind the outdoor bar.

.........
.........
......

As your dream Maldivian vacation draws to a close and you pack your bags to head home, the bad news could be that the hotel receptionist who romanced your teenage son is dead. Unfortunately, she would have been "honor killed" because she fell in love with the wrong kind of guy and shamed her family. The good news is you'll save money by not having to buy your son a return plane ticket to visit her next year.

Hey. Who said that the Maldives wasn't a gorgeous, relaxing and fun place?

monkeys ' r ' us

Narrated 'Amr bin Maimun: "During the pre-lslamic period of ignorance I saw a she-monkey surrounded by a number of monkeys. They were all stoning it, because it had committed illegal sexual intercourse. I too, stoned it along with them."
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 58, Number 188.

Muslims fear criticism or mockery of their religion more than they fear death.
The good thing about Islam is that you don’t actually have to mock it, Islam mocks itself.
The Sunna of Muhammad, his personal example, is mainly contained in extra-Koranic sources, especially the hadith. Even the practices of prayer and pilgrimage are based on information from the hadith literature.These are the most important religious texts for a billion Muslims, second only to the Koran itself.

Beheadings under the Big Crescent Flag at Jumhooree Park?

(WARNING-GRAPHIC PHOTOS).

This morning I went for a fixed menu breakfasts in the neaby coffee shop. As I was buttering my toast my ears pricked up to the conversation going at the next table. I glanced sideways to find three young men wearing kurtha shirts. One of them also had a Yasser Arafat type tea-cloth head dress. In a conversation thickly sprinkled with Allah, kaafaru, mushriku, jahoodhee, munaafigu and islaan deen, they were discussing what to do with the people who left Islam.I think they noticed my interest in their conversation and their volume rose slightly that everyone neaby could hear them well.

They were very convinced and adamant - those who turn their back on Islam are to be put to death. One thing I noticed was the young man with the tea-cloth headgear was well versed in the Koran and Hadees. He quoted the Sura (2:256) which states "Let there be no compulsion in religion, for truth stands out from error" and loudly pointed out to the benefit of those in the coffe shop that the verse had been replaced with other verses that clearly called for the killing of those who left Islam.

"Look at the actions of our beloved Muhammed rasoololla sollalloahu alahi wasallam" he said " By his own deeds he has shown us that we must kill the people who have left Islam. When the new constitution comes into effect, we shall kill them."

My mind began to wander. What has possessed these people? Here they were, coolly taking about taking human life in public and breakfast was not even done yet. Maybe the recent statements by their Sheihu Baaree had emboldened them. I nearly choked on my toast when the sudden thought occured to me that this could be the MV Muslims Breakfast Club!

Then they started going into the details. No hanging, no firing squad. They wanted beheadings - that was the example, the sunnah of the prophet. And they wanted it done in public. The smaller of the three suggested the courtyard of Islamee Marukazu. That was not public enough for the other two. "No one is going to leave Islam after they see us behead twenty or so of these yahoodhee kaafarun in Jumhooree Park" the man in the tea-cloth headgear asserted.

After 30 Years, Husband Lifts Wife's Buruga - Faces Divorce...

A 50-year-old Saudi woman asked for divorce after her husband lifted her face veil while she was sleeping, local press reported.

For 30 years, the wife said she never showed her face to her husband in conformity with the tradition of her native village near the south western Saudi city of Khamis Mushayt.

"After all these years, he tries to commit such a big mistake," the wife told Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadh, after she left the house in total disbelief.

She said the husband apologized and promised never to do it again.

This is not the first case of husbands who have not seen their wives' faces in decades.

In the past Al Arabiya has reported the case of Ali al-Qahtani, whose wife had been wearing the face veil for the entire ten years of their marrage. When he tried to take it off, she threatened to leave and only decided to stay after he swore never to try again.

Hassan Al-Atibi threatened to marry another woman if his wife didn't show him her face. The woman nominated one of her friends who doesn't observe this tradition as a possible new wife for him, saying this would be better than her showing her face.

And neither the husband or children of Om Rabea al-Gahdaray, 70, have ever seen her face. Al-Gahdaray says it is a family tradition, also followed by mother and sisters, which her husband accepted and never tried to change.

When asked how she could have kids without her husband ever seeing her face, she replied: "Marriage is about love, not faces."

If you have bad teeth, modern dental surgery can fix it!

I wonder if any MV Muslims are following this "tradition"?

Women Banned from 'Women in the Workplace' Forum...

When clerics, ministers and businessmen gathered at a forum in Riyadh in April to discuss women in the workplace, there were no women in sight.
Typically for Saudi Arabia, the women who took part were seated in a separate room so the men could only hear them.
Such things are part and parcel of the complex system of social control maintained by clerics of Saudi Arabia's austere version of Sunni Islamic law, often termed Wahhabism. It is a system called into question by scholar Hatoon al-Fassi.
In her study, Women In Pre-Islamic Arabia, the outspoken rights advocate argues women in the pre-Islamic period enjoyed considerable rights in the Nabataean state, an urban Arabian kingdom centred in modern Jordan, south Syria and north-west Saudi Arabia during the Roman empire.
...........

The main schools of sharia were codified in the 9th century AD in territories where a ruling Arab elite mixed with non-Arab and non-Muslim populations in the aftermath of the Arab conquests and the rise of Islam in the 7th century AD.
The main body of the law is derived mainly from oral traditions attributed to the Prophet Muhammad, and viewed by Islamic scholars as divine in origin. Scholars in the West have seen, in effect, a mix of Arabian, Jewish and Roman origins.
"The argument about Greco-Roman law having influenced the sharia rules about women could have some basis if one thinks in terms of Middle Eastern adaptations, 'provincial versions' of Greco-Roman law," said Gerald Hawting, a historian of early Islam at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. Fassi, he said, "is not likely to win many friends among the traditional ulama (scholars) by arguing that important elements of the sharia originate from human history and not from God".

"Christians believe Pentecost to be a powerful feast of salvation, because it speaks about the giving of the Law on Mount Sinai, about the founding of the Church, and about the Final Judgement. Pentecost is a parallel to Shavout, as Easter is to Passover. According to the Bible, on Passover, the Jews were delivered from slavery in Egypt; on Easter, mankind was delivered from slavery to sin; on Shavout, the Children of Israel received the "Law"; on Pentecost, the Church received the fullness of the Holy Spirit." - From Wikipedia

Muslim women seek equality in mosques - mullahs unmoved..

In a rare sight on Saturday, some Sunni women gathered in a Lucknow mosque and prayed together with men.

These women normally offer namaz at their homes, but they're trying to make a statement. The All India Muslim women personal law board wants mosques across India to open their doors to regular visits by women.

''We are only practicing what Islam has been has been saying, we are not doing anything that goes against the principles laid down in the Shariat,'' said Shaista Ambar, President, All India Muslim Women Personal Law Board.

But the clerics aren't happy and have labeled this as defiance.

''If a woman is in the market during the time of namaz she has the right to go to a mosque, there is a separate section over there for women and she can offer her prayers there. But this cannot be allowed to become a regular practice,'' said Khalid Rashid, a Sunni cleric.

But the women are convinced that there's no looking back. Mehrunissa said, ''We don't care about those who issue these fatwas.''

A few days ago, the board had issued a model nikahnama for Sunnis and upset clerics for doing away with triple talakh.

Now with a move to pray at mosques, it's their way of doing away with gender inequality.

The True Status of Women in Islam

The mullahs are brainwashing the people and especially the women with sweet talk of how Muslim women are not oppressed but that she is liberated. They tell you that Islam is a religion that treats women fairly, that for the first time in history, women were granted economic independence in Islam, even though this statement is clearly contradicted in the Quran : Sura (4:11) - (Inheritance) "The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females".

Everyday we hear the mullahs reciting such things that contradict the reality of what happens to women under Islam.

Let us now hear from some women about the true status of women in Islam.

Happy Birthday Israel

"Antisemitism, the hatred of the Jewish people, has been and remains a blot on the soul of mankind. In this we are in full agreement. So know also this: anti-Zionist is inherently antisemitic, and ever will be so." From M.L. King Jr., "Letter to an Anti-Zionist Friend," Saturday Review_XLVII (Aug. 1967), p. 76. Reprinted in M.L.

"Israel in 2008 looks little like the tiny agricultural nation that declared its independence 60 years ago. Modern Israel is high tech superpower, leading the world in of medicine, biotech, computer science, environment, culture and art. After two thousand years of exile, fresh from the ovens of Europe, with virtually nothing, they came to rebuild their lives as free Jews in their homeland.

Eagle When She Flies

This is a posting dedicated to the Dhivehi woman striving to find her place in these turbulent times - and to the person who commented that this was a misogynist post...

Could Dhivehi ladies become Arab women in the near future?

As the number of mullahs increase and people are swayed by their rhetoric, women are being covered, hidden and marginalized. The once proud Dhivehi woman is losing her place as an equal partner and a leader in society and entering into the role prescribed by Islam and the Arab way of life. No surprise there - a woman under Islam is an object, a property to be used and discarded at whim.

• Sura (2:223) - "Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will..." Wives are to be sexually available to their husbands in all ways at all times. They serve their husbands at his command. This verse is believed to refer to anal sex (see Bukhari 60:51), and was "revealed" when women complained to Muhammad about the practice. The phrase "when and how you will" means that they lost their case.

• Sura (4:34) - "Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them."

Saudi women had more rights at the time of the Romans than today

Arab women had more rights at the time of the Romans than they have today. At that time, in fact, their capacity to conduct their own economic affairs was recognised, which is not true in Saudi Arabia today. This is maintained by a female Saudi scholar, Hatoon al-Fassi, in a book entitled "Women In Pre-Islamic Arabia", published by British Archaeological Reports.

Barred from teaching at King Saud University in 2001, the scholar has examined the situation of Nabataea, a kingdom that at the beginning of the Christian era included parts of modern-day Jordan, Syria, and Saudi Arabia, and had its capital in Petra. Here, Fassi maintains, women were able to conduct business, without even the form of "protection" required by Greek tradition in these matters. In her opinion, it is precisely because of the lack of understanding on the part of Islamic scholars of the influences of Greco-Roman legislation on sharia that the limited rights and freedoms for women have arisen.

"We now live the worst status imaginable": this statement from Fawziya al-Oyouni, a women's rights activist, is reported in the review of the book on Middle East Online, which highlights how, when religious authorities, ministers, and businessmen met last month in Riyadh to discuss work for women, there were no women visible, because they were confined to another room, and the men were able only to hear them.

The Black-Eyed Virgins of Paradise

The Black-Eyed Virgins of Paradise and Wine is the ultimate goal of the Dhivehi nation. Therefore the Constitution, laws and regulations of the Maldives are designed to send as many people as possible to this Islamic heaven that they may do whatever they want to those breasts and thighs without Nivea or Vaseline.
We will even sell and serve the destructive wine of this world to the infidel tourists and not drink it ourselves. But later, Maldivians will enjoy wine in Paradise as a reward for their Good Deeds.

Suck on that, Caligula and Hugh Hefner!

"What hair! What a chest! What a mouth! What cheeks! What a figure! What breasts! What thighs! What legs! What whiteness! What softness! Without any creams - no Nivea, no Vaseline. No nothing!"

"You Would Find 10 Black-Eyed Virgins Sprawled on Musk Cushions"
"He said that faces would be soft that day. Even your own face will be soft without any powder or makeup. You yourself will be soft, so how soft will a black-eyed virgin be, when she comes to you so tall and with her beautiful face, her black hair and white face - praised be He who created night and day. Just feel her palm, Sheikh!

"He said: How soft will a fingertip be, after being softened in paradise for thousands of years! There is no god but Allah. He told us that if you entered one of the palaces, you would find 10 black-eyed virgins sprawled on musk cushions. Where is Abu Khaled? Here, he has arrived!

"When they see you, they will get up and run to you. Lucky is the one who gets to put her thumb in your hand. When they get hold of you, they will push you onto your back, on the musk cushions. They will push you onto your back, Jamal! Allah Akbar! I wish this on all people present here.

"He said that one of them would place her mouth on yours. Do whatever you want.

"Another one would press her cheek against yours, yet another would press her chest against yours, and the others would await their turn. There is no god but Allah."

"Wine in Paradise is a Reward for Your Good Deeds"
"He told us that one black-eyed virgin would give you a glass of wine. Wine in Paradise is a reward for your good deeds. The wine of this world is destructive, but not the wine of the world to come."

Islamic Toilet Part Two - Jinns and Devils Haunt Islamic Toilets

If we happen to be in an Islamic Paradise, we might be completely surprised that many Muslims still believe these Islamic voodoos. For example, if you are in a village in Bangladesh or Pakistan, you will come across with many devout Muslims who will vouch that they had seen jinns inside their primitive latrines. A few of them might even swear that the local Imam or an Islamic mendicant had been able to chase out jinns and devils from their toilets when the jinns or devils caught their women in the toilets. Note that it is usually the women (pretty ones) who fall victims to the jinns and devils residing in rural Islamic latrines.

Please do not laugh. If we were to believe the following ahadith then it is certainly true that Islamic toilets are the perennial abodes of jinns and devils.

In Sunaan Abu Dawud (1.0006) we read that toilets are frequented by jinns and devils. Sunaan ibn Majah (1.296) writes that devils visit public toilets.

Let us read in full the first hadis:

Sunaan Abu Dawud, Book 1, Number 0006:Narrated Zayd ibn Arqam:

• The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: These privies are frequented by the jinns and devils. So when anyone amongst you goes there, he should say: "I seek refuge in Allah from male and female devils."

Pray Before Entering an Islamic Toilet

Since jinns and devils visit Islamic toilets, Muhammad instructed his followers to offer prayer when entering a lavatory. We have already read a hadis on this. Here are a few more.

• Pray when answering the call of nature…(Sahih Bukhari, 1.4.144)
  
• When you enter a lavatory say, “O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from wicked and noxious things."…(Sahih Muslim, 3.0729)
  
• When entering a toilet, say a prayer: O’ Allah I seek refuge with you from all offensive and wicked things (evil deeds and evil spirits)…(Sunaan Nasai, 1.19)

• To screen you from jinns, when visiting toilet say Bismillah…(Sunaan Tirmidhi, 130)
  
• Do Not Hold Your Penis With Your Right Hand

Please do not be offended when you read this weird Islamic Toilet manner. In Islam, it is haram to hold your penis with your right hand when you defecate or urinate. Regarding your penis manner while in an Islamic Toilet, there are many ahadith, in all the Sahih Sitta (the six authentic) on this specification of Allah. In many of these ahadith Muhammad (that is, Allah), specified that when inside a toilet one may use his left hand to hold his penis. We may wonder about women, I am yet to find a hadis where Allah has specified that women cannot hold (OOPS! touch) their pudenda with their right hand. So we may assume that women are free to use either hand to cleanse themselves.

Here is a collection of a few interesting ahadith on Islamic manners of cleaning yourself in the toilet.

• Do not breath while drinking water; do not touch penis in lavatory and do not cleanse private parts with your right hand...(Sahih Bukhari, 1. 4.155)
  
• While urinating, do not hold penis with your right hand...(Sahih Bukhari, 1.4.156)
  
• While in a toilet do not touch penis with your right hand…(Sahih Muslim, 2.0512)
  
• While urinating or defecating do not touch your penis with your right hand…(Sunaan Abu Dawud, 1.1.0031)
  
• When urinating do not touch your penis with your right hand…(Sunaan Nasai, 1.24, 25)
  Use left hand for private parts…(Mishkat, 1.185)
  
• Do not touch male organ with right hand…(Mishkat, 1.183)
  
• Use left hand for touching private parts…(Mishkat, 1.185)
  
  Rules on Islamic Defecation

In the Qur'an there is very little or none about Allah’s stipulation on Islamic Toilet procedures. However, some Islamic scholars believe that Allah revealed verse 9:108 in connection with the proper method of cleaning oneself after defecating. Let us read verse 9:108 from the Qur'an and a hadis from Sunaan Abu Dawud:

• 9:108. Never stand you therein. Verily, the mosque whose foundation was laid from the first day on piety is more worthy that you stand therein (to pray). In it are men who love to clean and to purify themselves. And Allâh loves those who make themselves clean and pure (i.e. who clean their private parts with dust [i.e. to be considered as soap) and water from urine and stools, after answering the call of nature] (Tr. Hilali and Khan).

Please note that the translators have inserted their own comments. They are of the opinion that in Islamic ritual of defecating dust may be considered as soap.
Here is what a hadis says:

• Sunaan Abu Dawud, Book 1, Number 0044:Narrated Abu Hurayrah:The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: The following verse was revealed in connection with the people of Quba': "In it are men who love to be purified" (ix.108). He (Abu Hurayrah) said: They used to cleanse themselves with water after easing. So the verse was revealed in connection with them.

One compulsory provision of Islamic toilet manner is that during defecation a Muslim must position himself in such a manner that neither his face (that is, penis or women’s vulva) nor his back (that is, buttock) should face the Qibla (Kaba). Muslims must obey this rule whether defecating in an open desert or inside a latrine in his house.

Here are a few ahadith on this:

• While defecating in the open space neither face nor turn your back towards Qibla (Kaba); instead, face the east or the west…(Sahih Bukhari, 1.4.146)

• While excreting or urinating do not face the Qibla…(Sahih Muslim, 2.0504)
  
• When defecating in the desert do not face Qibla nor turn your backside towards Qibla; use three sods and your right hand to cleanse your private parts…(Sunaan Tirmidhi, 128)



• While defecating do not face or show backside to Allah…(Mishkat, 1.185)Interestingly,

Muhammad, at times, had violated Allah’s rules. Here is the proof:

• Muhammad urinated by turning his face towards the Qibla…(Sunaan ibn Majah, 1.325)
  
• Muhammad defecated facing Jerusalem…(Sahih Bukhari, 1.4.147)
  
• Muhammad stipulated that if you wear a ring, you must remove it when going inside a toilet.

True to this funny Islamic Toilet protocol, a hadis in Sunaan Abu Dawud (1.0019) and Sunaan ibn Majah (1.3033) state that Muhammad used to remove his ring when visiting a toilet.

Another interesting hadis in Sahih Muslim (7.2942) says that a Muslim can defecate in a river. In this case there might not be any necessity to cleanse his anus, as river water will do the job. Curiously, a hadis in Sunaan Nasai (1.50, 51) says that having defecated, and having cleansed yourself, you should rub two hands on earth.
Here are a few more interesting ahadith on defecating in Islamic manner:

• After defecating do not use bones or dung; use stones to cleanse yourself…(Sahih Bukhari, 1.4.157)

• Use odd number of stones (minimum three) to clean your private parts...(Sahih Bukhari, 1. 4.162)

• Use three stones to clean yourself after defecating...(Sunaan Abu Dawud, 1.0040)



• When visiting a toilet carry three stones with you…(Sunaan Abu Dawud, 1.1.0040)

• After you defecate, use two clods of earth; do not use dung…(Sunaan Nasai, 1.42)

• If you defecate in a desert use three stones, no need to use water…(Sunaan Nasai, 1.44)

Rules on Islamic Urination
If we are confounded with bizarre Islamic rules on defecating, here are more rules on urinating Islamically.

• Do not urinate in stagnant water…(Sunaan ibn Majah, 1.343)
  
• Do not urinate standing; Umar did that but Muhammad reprobated him…(Sunaan Tirmidhi, 133)
  
• During night you may urinate in a vessel…(Sunaan Nasai, 1.32)
  
• At night Muhammad used to urinate on a wooden vessel...(Sunaan Abu Dawud, 1.0024)
  
• Do not urinate in a hole…(Sunaan Nasai, 1.34)
  
• Urinate in a soft ground…(Mishkat, 1.185)
  
• Do not urinate in a place of bath and then take bath there…(Sunaan Nasai, 1.36)
  
• Do not return salutation when you are urinating…(Sunaan Nasai, 1.37)
  
• After urinating sprinkle water on your private parts…(Sunaan Nasai, 1.136, 137)
  

As was often the case, Muhammad had violated his own rules on urination.

• Muhammad urinated standing...(Sahih Bukhari, 1. 4.226)
  
• Muhammad had urinated standing…(Sunaan ibn Majah, 1.305

Qibla compass comes handy when you are forced to defacate in an open desert or such

Islamic Bathing Rules
Here are a few interesting rules on Islamic bath (ghusl):

• Females cannot use the leftover water by males, but the males can use the leftover water by females... (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 1.0081)
  
• Muhammad forbade the use of leftover water by females to be used by males... (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 1.0082)
  
• Muhammad and his wives took bath from the same vessel of water…(Sunaan ibn Majah, 1.379)

• Leprosy is caused by taking bath in water exposed to the sun…(Mishkat, 1.245)

Islamic Toilet Part One - Allah promises great rewards for emulating Muhammad's habits, manners, and instructions.

(A note of caution: The contents of this article might offend some readers)

First, let us focus on a few verses of the Qur'an where Allah says a Muslim must emulate Muhammad's manners, traditions, and practices at all time.

Sunnah is my practice: Allah promises great rewards for emulating Muhammad's habits, manners, and instructions

In verses 3:132 and 4:80 Allah says that obeying Him and Muhammad (i.e., Muhammad’s examples) is mandatory. This means Muslims have no choice but to follow Muhammad's deeds, as this constitutes the obeying the commands of Allah. A similar command is echoed in verse 33:36 where Allah stipulates that provisions (rules and examples, even toilet rules) set by Allah and Muhammad is binding to all Muslims; there are no alternatives. Ibn Kathir adds more punch to Allah’s command He writes that this verse is general in meaning and applies to all matters, i.e., if Allah and His Messenger decreed a matter, no one has the right to go against that, and no one has any choice or room for personal opinion on that case.
Allah decrees in verse 33:21 that He has made Muhammad an excellent example for the believers to follow and in verse 68:4 Allah reminds the Muslims that Muhammad is the exalted (ultimate/excellent) standard of character. Ibn Abbas says that Muhammad has great character traits with which Allah has honoured him.
Allah promises great rewards for emulating Muhammad's habits, manners, and instructions. In verse 33:71 Allah declares that obeying Allah and Muhammad are the highest achievements, and in verse 3:31 Allah sets a condition that if any Muslim loves Allah then he/she must follow Muhammad, and Allah will forgive his/her sins. Verse 4:13 guarantees paradise for those who blindly obey Muhammad.
Allah prescribes sever punishment for not emulating Muhammad. In verse 47:33 Allah says that if Muslims do not obey Muhammad, then He will nullify all their good deeds. In verse 48:13 we read that Allah has prepared a blazing fire for those who reject Him and his apostle Muhammad. In verse 58:5 Allah has decreed that those who reject Allah and His messenger (Muhammad) will be reduced to dust.
Here is what Ash Shifa (p.316) writes about imitating Muhammad absolutely:
It is also known that the Companions were in the habit of imitating the actions of the Prophet, whatever they were and in every way, just as they obeyed whatever he said. They threw away their signet rings when he threw his away. They discarded their sandals when he discarded his. They used as a proof for facing Jerusalem when going to the lavatory the fact that Ibn ‘Umar saw him doing so. Others found a proof for other actions both in the category of worship and general custom by saying, “I saw the Messenger of Allah do it.”

Once we acknowledge Allah’s dicta in the above paragraphs we will understand why the Muslims follow a few weird toilet manners, though those habits were the customs of the Arab Bedouins millennia ago. In Islam, there is no date of expiry of Muhammad’s traditions and practices they are eternal.

It is also important to keep in perspective the primitive toilet facilities in Muhammad's household. The truth is: Muhammad, including his wives, used to relieve themselves in the open desert, under the open sky. The males could defecate any time of the day or night, but Muhammad's wives were restricted to answer their calls of nature only at night. Described by a few ahadith, we have a glimpse of the abject toilet facilities in Muhammad's family.

Here are a few examples:

• 
  Wives of Muhammad answered the call of nature in the open field...(Sahih Bukhari, 1.4.148, 149)



• During Hajj some of Muhammad’s companions had their penises dripping with prostrate fluid…(Sunaan Abu Dawud, 2.10.1785)



• When defecating together (two men) do not converse, do not look at each others private parts…(Sunaan ibn Majah, 1.342)



• Carry three stones while relieving yourself in desert…(Mishkat, 1.186)

To be certain, let us read in full, one hadis from Sahih Bukhari:

• Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 4, Number 148:Narrated 'Aisha:The wives of the Prophet used to go to Al-Manasi, a vast open place (near Baqia at Medina) to answer the call of nature at night. 'Umar used to say to the Prophet "Let your wives be veiled," but Allah's Apostle did not do so. One night Sauda bint Zam'a the wife of the Prophet went out at 'Isha' time and she was a tall lady. 'Umar addressed her and said, "I have recognized you, O Sauda." He said so, as he desired eagerly that the verses of Al-Hijab (the observing of veils by the Muslim women) may be revealed. So Allah revealed the verses of "Al-Hijab" (A complete body cover excluding the eyes).

The above hadis also tells us why Muhammad imposed veils on Islamic women.

To be continued....
