When Noah gained consciousness, he knew what Ham did and started cursing, ¡°And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.¡± Did you catch the joke? Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth. Ham had four sons2: Cush, Mizraim, Phut and Canaan. When the narration is analysed, a question arises: ¡°who was responsible for looking at Noah¡¯s nakedness?¡± The answer is Ham. Christians argue that the action of Ham was a sin, hence the curse. For the sake of argument, we agree. Yet, who was responsible and thereafter cursed? Ham was responsible, but, who was made to pay? Was it Ham? No. Canaan, an innocent little child, was made to pay for the error of Ham. The father who is responsible was reprieved and the son who¡¯s innocent was punished. Further more, why was Canaan out of four siblings singled out? Is this justice or madness? Can you imagine something like that happening today? I love analogies, so let us have one : James has four children. He committed murder. He is apprehended, brought to court and is found guilty. The judge decided that the punishment is the ¡°injection¡±, i.e. death. However, the injection is given to his youngest son and he in turn is released without cost. Once again, is this justice or madness? I leave the verdict to the readers.3
¡°The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.¡± (Deuteronomy 24:16) [back]

This indeed is an eye-openning narration. How come Christians talk about justice when in their scripture the Messangers did not do justice? What is the necessity of a court system then if someone can condemn without any justice?¡¦.
May Allah guide us all his righteous servants to Siratul Mustakeem.
