Revealing that schistosomiasis is spread by snails was also not as important to the god of the vast universe (from Alpha Centauri to Betelgeuse to Rigel and beyond) as rushing to Muhammad's aid when shy Muhammad is confronted by unwelcome guests. We read in Quran 33:53: O Ye who believe! Enter not the dwellings of the Prophet for a meal without waiting for the proper time, unless permission be granted you. But if you are invited, enter, and, when your meal is ended, then disperse. Linger not for conversation. Lo! that would cause annoyance to the Prophet, and he would be shy of (asking) you (to go); but Allah is not shy of the truth. |
