Muhammad taught that one should not want for others what one does not want for oneself, yet he allowed his followers to have sexual relations with married women taken captive.

Muhammad's teachings often highlight the importance of treating others with respect and dignity, as seen in his response to the young man seeking permission to commit unlawful sex. However, the practices allowed in Islam, particularly regarding captives and married women, starkly contrast with these teachings. This inconsistency raises questions about the moral framework within which Muhammad operated. Furthermore, the Bible presents a clear and consistent moral standard that upholds the sanctity of marriage and sexual relations. In contrast to Muhammad's allowances, Jesus taught that lustful thoughts are equivalent to adultery in the heart, emphasizing the need for purity and integrity in relationships. Thus, while Muhammad's words may advocate for moral behavior, the actions permitted under his leadership reveal a troubling disparity that challenges the coherence of his moral teachings.
