Print This ArticleIS THE QURAN HOLY? - Part 1By Ahmed SimonMuslims always claim the Quran is a ‘miracle’. But in
Sura {verse} 17:59 Allah himself confirms, he sent no miracles. So who is wrong – the Muslims or
Allah? The Quran claims {2:97 & 39:23} all its words are from Allah. Thus, Muslims claim the Quran is ‘holy’
and is a scripture for all mankind. But, to be a scripture to mankind, it’s
got to be holy in every sense of the word and accepted by at least 50% of mankind
{including 32% of non-Muslims}. If it is not holy, then it cannot be a scripture.
Therefore, let the Quran itself tell you the TRUTH, in its own words {or Allah’s
words}, to show you readers, what guidance the Quran really gives believers.
You be the Judge and Jury and decide whether the Quran is actually miraculous,
and most important of all, whether it is holy to be considered a scripture or
unholy and cannot be a scripture. How do the Dictionaries explain the word ‘Holy’? The
meanings are; free from Sin; perfect in a moral sense; saintly; divine;
sanctimonious; sacrosanct; sacred; etc. So is the Quran, free from sin and
perfect in a moral sense?
In Part 2, I will continue with more sura of Chapter two, to show you more
sampling of the Quran. The Arabic word 'Qur'an' is derived from the root 'qara'a', which
simply means "to read" or "to recite." So the very word “Quran” is
not something particularly holy. In Islam, it is more important to recite the
Quran, than to understand it – this might sound ridiculous to many, but
it is true. So the vast majority of Muslims are taught to recite the Quran, rather
than emphasis given to understanding the Quran {even Muhammad was instructed by
Allah only to recite the Quran – Sura-87:6}. Some of the chapters are actually comically titled as ‘The Cow’,
‘The Table Spread’, ‘Cattle’, ‘The Thunder’,
‘The Bee’, ‘Light’, ‘The Ant’, ‘The
Spider’, ‘Smoke’, ‘Crouching’, ‘The Moon’,
‘Iron’, ‘Divorce’, ‘The Pen’, ‘The Jinn’,
‘Be Frowned’, ‘The City’, ‘The Sun’, ‘The
Elephant’, etc. Would anyone call these titles, religious in nature? Would
anyone name the chapters of a scripture, thus? There are even chapters titled
‘Joseph’, and ‘Mary’. Have they become prophets in Islam
or is it in a vain attempt to try to charm the Jews into accepting Islam? When someone browses through the Quran, he cannot fail to realize that
the literal language of the Quran is that of a primary school student {as shown
below}. It is not sophisticated, intellectual or classy, but more from a mind
or minds of simpletons and on first principles {with no in-depth justification,
specifics or rationalization} see article, “The invention of Islam.”
{Note: I must draw attention to the word ‘Allah’ in
Parts 1 & 2 of this article, as it has nothing whatsoever to do with the Hindu
Deity, Moon Goddess Durga -Allah}, {who is the spiritual wife of the Moon God,
Lord Siva – Allat} who is reverently chanted/referred to as ‘Allah’
in Sanskrit {from 1,500 B.C.} by the Hindus, to date. Saudi Arabia was part of
the Hindu Empire of the Vikrama Era of the Maharaja/s Candragupta. No reference,
or mention in any way, reflects badly on any Hindu deity or divinity of Hinduism,
in this article. Whatever reference drawn of Allah, is solely and entirely made
in reference to the Islamic Allah and nothing else} {All translations of the Quran
are from Mohamed M. Pickthall’s English Quran; which is recognized by the
OIC.} Almost all non-Muslims and even most Muslims, think of Islam/Quran in the
traditional religious sense of piety, spirituality, peacefulness, loving, compassionate,
empathy, etc – IT IS NOT. In truth, Islam is not such a traditional
and customary religion, - far from it. In Islam, Allah is aloof from the Humans, and he did not even talk directly
with his own prophet {Muhammad}. Allah is not love and he does not show or radiate
love for the humans {even Muhammad}; he could be merciful sporadically and a tyrant
for terrorizing many people - many sura prove this character and Allah himself
admits and demands humans to ‘fear him’ {as shown below}. Some people
will find the verses in the Quran, very offensive to read; because of its cruelty,
fearsomeness, repulsiveness and inhuman in nature, especially towards women and
children. {See articles ‘Is Islam Practical’ and ‘Is Islam A
Fake’} The existence of the Quran today, in this modern era,
surprising to many, is primarily due to Muslim IGNORANCE of the
ACTUAL CONTENTS OF THE QURAN. Some Muslims could also be genuinely shocked to
know the truth of the Quran, in total contradiction to their years of Islamic
education/nurturing. With the hours and years spent in Islamic studies, many will
doubt my statement, but believe me, it is true. You, the reader, can test this out yourself by picking
a Sura and ask any Muslim to explain, and you could almost certainly get an ignorant
response, if at all. Ask another ten more Muslims and you could possibly get another
ten ignorant responses {each one possibly different}. But in all cases, an
evil Sura would be explained in an absurd sanitized fashion, minus the inhuman
aspects, for sure. If confronted with the truth, they have, ready-nurtured-answers;
such as ‘you cannot translate it from Arabic accurately’ or ‘it
doesn’t mean as you say’, etc. as though they are experts in the ‘old
Arabic’ and as though the translation gives only an opposite meaning. Ask a Muslim about his Islamic sect and then ask him ‘what is different
with the other 200 plus Islamic sects’? He might either loose his voice
instantly or condemn all the other Islamic sects as blasphemous and that they
are not the true Islam; but that only his Islamic sect is the true one. This
Muslim ‘automatic’ condemnation of all other Islamic sects will be
strongly articulated, without even knowing the actual differences between the
sects concerned. So a general Muslim ignorance and confusion of the truth
in the Quran, is what is prevalent in the Muslim world. This is further compounded by nurturing in Islamic FALSEHOODS
and LIES {Al - Takeyya} for the sake of Allah; taught in each Maddrassas
{Islamic Schools} of that particular sect and their Mosques {where they are brainwashed,
by their Islamic clergy of each respective sect}. The root of these confusions/contradictions,
within Islam, actually stem from the different interpretations, among other things,
of each open-ended sura in the Quran by each Islamic sect’s scholars/Ulama.
Unity in Islam is an elusive and ‘invisible’ word. The OIC
has had more than 30 annual International conferences and nothing has come out
of it. Even member countries blame it for being just a forum for speeches to lambast
each other. The closest in unity, an Islamic sect will go with other sects, is
to share a particular Mosque for Friday prayers, but generally never pray together
to the same Allah. The Hannafi Muslims will say their Friday Prayers in Surabaya,
while the Ahmadiyah Muslims will wait outside the mosque with their Imam. When
the Hannafi Muslims leave after prayers, the Ahmadiyah Muslims will walk in with
their own Imam (prayer leader) to say their Friday prayers. The worst case scenario
of Islamic disunity, is happening in many Islamic countries (Pakistan, Algeria,
Bangla Desh, Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan, Krygistan, Turkmenistan, etc.) when, say;
a Sunni Muslim will walk into a Shia mosque during Friday prayers and explode
the bombs strapped to him (suicide) in the hope of killing as many Shia Muslims
as possible, and vice versa. But defending this Allah takes precedence over all
else, and by any means, fair or foul. If you ask, why did this Allah not do these inhuman atrocities
himself, and had he no powers of his own? All I can say is that I don’t
think this Allah is for real, but just a WORD borrowed/copied from one of the
many Hindu Goddesses {Deity} {See ‘The invention of Islam’}. But I can absolutely and positively confirm that the Christian God have
done miraculous great deeds, all by himself, impossible for human beings. And
the Christian God does not demand Christians to carry out his dirty works for
him, like the Islamic Allah does – actually the Christian God abhors and
forbids killings, atrocities and misdeeds of any kind, which this Allah demands
of Muslims. In truth the root of almost all the Islamic problems stem from
the ill-defined and sweeping statements (generalizing) of the Quranic Sura,
which leads to all sorts of interpretations, because the sura are open-ended.
The problem is further compounded by a Quran; composed of absurd, irrational,
contradictory, silly, inhuman, and unholy pronouncements ever - literally. Some
of the verses in the Quran are even terribly animalistic and not fit for human
consumption. In Sura 22:52, Allah says, Satan proposed his revelations {sura} to Muhammad for the Quran, and Allah later abolished them and then revealed his own. There are many questions need answering here. 1. How did Satan get to Muhammad? 2. Why and how did Satan propose his revelations to Muhammad? 3. What were Satan’s revelations like? 4. Did Allah remove all Satan’s revelations in the Quran? {Because Allah didn’t say ‘all’ were removed.} 5. Why did Allah wait for Satan to first reveal his revelations to Muhammad? 6. Why did Muhammad receive Satan’s revelations, in the first place? 7. Did Satan first pick Muhammad for his messenger and Allah highjacked him later? 8. Or couldn’t Muhammad tell who Satan was? 9. Did Allah and Satan look alike to Muhammad?
Christians will be horrified to know that there is no prophecy,
no chronology, no geography, no biography of anybody {not even Muhammad}, no ministry,
no history, no proverbs, no parables, no Ten Commandments, no miracles, no psalms,
no story, no sequence of any sort in the Quran; and generally is just do’s
and don’t, more or less similar to an instruction book of a vacuum cleaner;
and with punitive punishments, reprisals, killings, revenge and rewards specified.
In stark contrast, the Bible is the only religious scripture in this entire world
{which contains everything the Quran does not have, as mentioned above} and which
begins chronologically from/with the creation of the universe and the human race;
and ends with the universe and the human race. Since the end has not yet
come, the Bible is the only LIVING testimony of the Universe and the Human Race,
since the Bible is about the past, present and the future. No other religious
Scripture, anywhere in this world, can categorically state such a Complete Testimony
of the Universe and the Human Race and that too in an accurate chronological setting
from the beginning to the end. The Quran itself reveals countless absurdities, errors,
minor and major. Let me highlight only a few fundamental aspects of the Quran
and I am also asking you to answer to yourself, my following questions. The Quranic
Sura are generally, not specific - The Quranic
verses are generally vague generalizations (with not any thought given to the
consequences of these utterances/sura) and open-ended broad statements, which
leads to all sorts of interpretations. Thus, it will be found in many sura, that
the Quran actually condemns itself. Muhammad and about 700
of his companions {mercenaries} were complete illiterates
{could not read or write}. Thus, they used to memorize the verses they
copied/imitated/plagiarized/coined for the Quran. During Muhammad’s time,
he was not the only one fabricating a Quran; there were four other companions
of his, who were also fabricating their own Qurans {see article ‘Biography
of Muhammad’} and who were even teaching their students – Bukhari’s
Hadiths. But during the Battle of Yamamah, almost all Muhammad’s companions
were killed, and later Muhammad himself and his last few companions were killed
{Their goat meat was poisoned by a widow, whose husband was initially beheaded
by Muhammad and his companions}. Thus; the Quran was never compiled then, in his
lifetime. The Quran was later compiled from sources such as his many wives {especially
Aisha}, concubines; slaves; people who knew him or heard him supposedly speak
and of course, from some Christian slaves {like Jabr} and relatives. How much
of the present Quran was taken from the other four Qurans of his companions, who
were also fabricating their own Qurans is not stated. (see the invention of Islam}
But the first compiled Quran, which were distributed, created a lot of serious
problems and were eventually withdrawn/recalled and burnt. The Quran was then
recompiled and re-recompiled and edited and reedited by the scribe, Zayed Ibn
Thabit, and later many Caliphs {like Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, etc} being not satisfied,
had a hand in the re-fabrication and revisions, hundreds of years after Muhammad
was poisoned to death. But even this created a lot of serious problems. So, many
different Islamic sects tried to solve, {by themselves}, the serious problems
inherent by re-re-fabricating their own Qurans, e.g. The Wahabi, Shia, Sufi, Druze,
Hannafi, Ahmadiyah, etc, all have their own version of the Qurans. So many
people, according to documented records and evidences in the Hadiths had a hand
in the fabrication of the Quran and the Quran says all the words are from Allah?
Isn’t there something very wrong here? Such is the freak emergence of the Quran, or shall I say of different Qurans. Why so many versions of the Quran? Will the intelligent believe such Qurans? But I must admit that the overwhelming sura in any Quran, are more or less the same, with some corrections and additions in different Islamic sects. The sura additions, are what drives the sura numbers inconsistent among Qurans. What makes it worse, is that, Muslims are generally, not even aware of the contents of the Quran, leave alone the Bible. But, the adage, “there is a sucker born every minute” holds true in the Muslim world. So, is the Quran, from a Supreme Being/a God? What are the typical Quranic suras like? Is the Quran holy? But, first, let me not shock you, but prepare you for the kind of ‘miracle’, Muslims believe in and gloat about. Allah actually said in the Quran “There is no compulsion in religion {Islam}” in 2:256, and two chapters away, in 4:89, Allah demands any Muslim man, woman or child who gives up Islam {apostates} to be killed with no mercy shown. Which is which – no compulsion or got compulsion in Islam? In the words of the American Native Indians, this Allah ‘speaks with a forked tongue’ {contradicts his own words}. Can a supposed god contradict himself {and there are many such contradictions by Allah, within the Quran}. Another example, – Allah confirms that he created the earth and Heavens instantly in Sura 2:117, and in 41:9 he says he did it in 2 days, in 7:54 he says in 6 days and in total if you take 41:9-12 he says he took 8 days. Is this Allah a god or a lunatic to make so many contradictions, in just, one subject? If Allah is a god, then imagine this contradictory scenario. Allah orders Moses/Jews to cross the Red Sea. And as they cross in the middle of the sea, Allah tells Moses/Jews, ‘Stop - Don’t cross, I have changed my mind.’ Can you imagine the consequences and can a god keep contradicting himself? Also, what do you think of a Quran, which, Muslims believe was produced by such a bungling Allah? Doesn’t this put the whole Quran/Islam in disbelief? It is indeed a ‘miracle’ that there are even human beings, willing to believe in this contradicting Allah/Quran. So be prepared and have fun, for the rest of the ‘masterpiece miracle’ of the Quran. [ ] { } denotes the author’s comments. No attempt is made by the author in this article, to correct the punctuation marks, syntax, wordings and grammatical errors, so commonly inherent in this Quran and is presented as exactly as it is: - 1. Sura 2:1 – “Alif. Lam. Mim.” [Are these Arabic alphabets, holy?] 2. Sura 2:2 – This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt, a guidance unto those who ward off (evil).” [This Quran, is guidance only for those who ward off evil? How can it be a scripture then, if it is only to ward off evil? Allah himself is confirming this Quran as such. Therefore, the Quran is a book for exorcists to exorcise evil spirits, and is not holy. Can Muslims deny Allah’s confirmation in this sura?] 3. Sura 2:6 – “As for the disbelievers, whether thou warn them or thou warn them not it is all one for them, they believe not.” [How fantastic?] Sura 2:7 – “Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes, there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom.” [I didn’t see any disbelievers with sealed ears, heart and eyes covered. Maybe Allah misfired] Sura 2:8 – “And of mankind are some who say: we believe in Allah and the Last day, when they believe not.” [Good] Sura 2:9 – “They think to beguile Allah and those who believe, and they beguile none save themselves; but they perceive not.” [Who cares?] Sura 2:10 – “In their hearts is a disease, and Allah increaseth the disease. A painful doom is theirs, because they lie.” [Why increase the disease – just because the 82% of the world do not believe in him? Why would a God, who supposedly created the non-Muslims as well, want to have the vast majority of his creation killed? A merciless Allah, isn’t he?] Sura 2:11 – “And when it is said unto them: Make not mischief in the earth, they say: We are peacemakers only.” [So?] Sura 2:12 – “Are not they indeed the mischief maker? But they perceive not.” [Doesn’t terrorism prove it the other way around?] 4. Sura 2:13 – “And when it is said unto them: Believe as the people
believe, they say: shall we believe as the foolish believe? Are not they indeed
the foolish? But they know not.” [We told Allah good, eh!] Sura 2:14 –
“And when they fall in with those who believe, they say: we believe: but when
they go part to their devils, they declare: Lo! We are with you; verily we did
but mock.” Sura 2:15 – “Allah (himself) doth mock them, leaving them to
wonder blindly on in their contumacy. Sura 2:16 “These are they who
purchase error at the price of guidance, so their commerce doth not prosper,
neither are they guided.” [Which Muslim country has prospered with Allah’s
guidance? Thank God, we kept away from
Allah] 5. Sura 2:17 – “Their likeness is like as the likeness of one who Kindleth fire, and when it sheddeth the light around him, Allah taketh away their light and leaveth them in darkness, where they cannot see.” [In truth, doesn’t it seem, Allah has instead kept only Muslims in darkness] Sura 2:18 – “Deaf, dumb and blind: and they return not.” [Who? Muslims?] Sura 2:19 – “Or like a rainstorm from the sky, wherein in darkness, thunder and the flash of lightening. They trust their fingers in their ears by reason of the thunder-claps, for fear of death. Allah encompasseth the disbelievers (in his guidance).” Sura 2:20 – “The lightening almost snatcheth away their sight from them. As often as it flasheth forth for them, they walk therein, and when it darkeneth against them they stand still. If Allah willed he could destroy the hearing and sight. Lo! Allah is able to do all things.” [Everything for Allah is ‘almost’ but nothing really happened. Can Allah really do anything? Allah’s guidance to Muslims are all like this – curses, accusations, and condemnations of all those who don’t believe in him –‘sour grapes’. Are these really guidance, or instilling hatred on Muslims for non-Muslims? Muslims are generally consumed with hatred for everything unIslamic and lagging far behind others. Now you know where all the Muslim hatred stem from – The Quran.] 6. Sura 2:21 – “O mankind! Worship your Lord, Who hath created you and those before you, so that ye may ward off (evil).” [We are worshipping our Lord, but not only for warding off evil as only exorcists do] Sura 2:22 – “Who have appointed the earth a resting-place…” [Earth is standing still? Earth is not on an orbit? Is this Allah for real?] Sura 2:23 – “And if ye are in doubt, concerning that which we reveal Unto our slave (Muhammad), then produce a Surah of the like thereof, and call your witnesses beside Allah if ye are truthful.” [Muhammad is only a slave and not a prophet? If people are in doubt, they have to produce another sura? Whatever for? Will producing another sura clear the doubt? If I produce a better sura, where am I to go with my witnesses, if no one knows where the Hell this Allah is squatting - the Kaaba where non-Muslims are not permitted to go?] 7. Sura 2:29 – “He it is who created for you, all that is in the earth. Then turned he to the Heaven, and fashioned it as seven Heavens, and he is knower of all things.” [He created only in the earth and not on the earth? He created the earth first? In some sura he said he made the Heavens first. And 7 Heavens at that? Whatever for, when he said all will not escape Hell? Isn’t this Allah, one big confused guy?] 8. Sura 2:40 – “O children of Israel. Remember my favours wherewith I
favoured you, and fulfill your (part of the) covenant. I shall fulfill my (part
of the) covenant, and fear me.” [Does anyone on earth know how Allah favoured
the Jews, because the Jews and Christians know not? Covenant from Allah to the
Jews? When? Where? How? Why? What? Typical of Allah, demanding Muslims to
‘fear him’, not love him.] 9. Sura 2:41 – “And believe in that which I reveal, confirming that which ye Posses already (of the Scripture), and be not first to disbelieve therein, and part not with my revelation for a trifling price, and keep your duty unto me.” [First, it will be a big miracle if a small Quran can confirm a much larger Bible. Second, with three quarters of the prophets missing in the Quran how can it confirm a Bible? Third, even for the few prophets mentioned, they are all in a cursory manner with no details of them in the Quran, Fourth, Why would any sensible person need a puny little Quran to confirm anything? Fifth, the Quran has so many contradictions, mistakes, ridicule, evil, hate, etc that it will only bamboozle anything sensible.] 10. Sura 2:43 – “Establish worship, pay the poor-due, and bow your heads with those who bow (in worship).” [The poor-due is called Zakat. Practically nobody follows the Zakat in its true form. This is because the Zakat is fixed, at 2-1/2% of a person’s total worth {Wealth}. Zakat is not from your annual income as income tax levies. Who will calculate a person’s wealth? In Islam, mortgage financing, 2nd mortgage, living expenses, expenditure for business/house, loss of employment, debts, loss in previous year’s business, earthquakes, flood loss, hurricanes, Expenditure/income/debt/depreciation/loans are not taken into account in Zakat. It is just a flat rate of 2-½% of your worth or wealth. This will bankrupt you in no time. So is the Islamic way practical, when even the Muslims do not follow and recognize it? I wonder, in Muhammad’s time, if one owned 10 sheep, did they cut off 2-½% from each sheep or cut out ¼ a sheep for the zakat?] 11. Sura 2:49 – “And (remember) when we did deliver you from Pharaoh’s folk, who were afflicting you with dreadful torment, slaying your sons and sparing your women: that was a tremendous trial from your lord.” [There is a mistake here, Pharaoh’s folk did not slay the men and spare their women at the same time. When Allah said, “trial from your Lord” Is Allah admitting that he put the Jews into that terrible situation as a trial, where many died and now he demands favours for delivering them? The cheek of him.] [The next few sura are similar boring condemnations, falsehoods and curses on non-Muslims; so lets skip a few Sura, shall we?] 12.Sura 2:83 – “And (remember) when we made a covenant with the Children of Israel (saying: worship none save Allah (only)…” [If anyone did make a covenant with Allah, he was definitely not a Jew, because it is blasphemy and a mortal sin for Jews to recognize Allah, instead of Jehovah. When, where, how, to whom, why was this covenant done, if at all? These are the type of false claims made all over the Quran, without evidence or witness] 13. In the Quran, there are many verses, which say that Allah gave ‘that proof’ and ‘this evidence’ and ‘that’ and ‘this’ to the Jews and Christians, with no specific details, - which nobody knows about or even heard of. For instance, in Sura 2:87 Allah says “And verily we gave unto Moses the Scriptures, and we caused a train of messengers to follow after him, and we gave unto Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs, and we supported him with the Holy Spirit…” [Moses did not give all the 66 books of the Scripture – just a few. So this Allah is lying through his nose. Now ask anyone, what these proofs are, and no one will know what the Hell this Allah is talking about. Shouldn’t this Allah have been specific, instead of ‘beating around the bush’? If this Allah gave some proof or any proof in the form of a document/scroll/etc, then, perhaps Jesus threw it away as plain rubbish? Because Jesus never gave any document, scroll, gospels, etc or any other written item to the Christians - Only the apostles gave us the Gospels {Injil} and some other books. “And Allah supported Jesus with the Holy Spirit?” – how? By introductions or handshakes? So what nonsense is this Allah talking] [Now lets skip a few more Sura] 14. Sura 2:92 – “And Moses came to you with clear proofs (of Allah’s Sovereignty), yet, while he was away ye chose the calf (for worship) And ye were wrongdoers.” [Moses came with what ‘clear proofs’ of Allah? The Jews and Christians did not receive Allah’s proofs of sovereignty; perhaps Moses threw it away, because none have it? Perhaps, the Jews were smart to choose the calf over Allah, because the calf was not evil] 15. Sura 2:97 – “Say (O Muhammad, to mankind): who is an enemy to Gabriel. For he it is who hath revealed (this Scripture) to thy heart by Allah’s Leave, confirming that which was (revealed) before it, and a guidance and glad tidings to believers.” [Allah claimed in many sura, that it was he who gave the Scripture. But in this sura, he claims Gabriel gave it “by his leave” – which is which? If the Scripture {Bible}, was revealed by Allah, and as Allah’s words cannot be “altered or changed” as mentioned in sura 6:34 and 10:65, then the present Bible is correct according to Allah, right? But, is the Muslim claim of ‘the Bible being altered/changed’ also correct, contradicting Allah’s words in the Quran as wrong; or is Allah telling lies when Allah confirmed the Bible? Either the Muslims are lying or Allah is lying? Which is which?] 16. Sura 2:104 – “O ye who believe, Say not (unto the prophet): ‘listen to us’ but say ‘Look upon us’ and be ye listeners. For disbelievers is a painful doom.” [According to Allah the prophet is not supposed to listen to the Muslims. Rather, the Muslims must just listen and question not, as dumb morons. Here, I also wish to point out that there are numerous sura, ending typically with a curse for disbelievers (non-Muslim men, women and children), with not just a doom, but a painful doom, just for not believing this Allah? Allah/Quran is full of curses and he doesn’t know much, eh!] 17. Sura 2:106 – [Do you believe, that Allah makes mistakes,
cancellations, replacements and improvements of his work – Can a Supreme
Being - a God make mistakes – The answer is an unconditional NO. But
this Allah not only makes mistakes, cancellations, replacements and improvements;
he even admits and confirms it in the Quran] Sura 2:106 says “Such
of our revelations as we abrogate {cancel} or cause to be forgotten, we bring
(in place) one better or the like thereof. Knowest thou not that Allah is Able
to do all things.” [This is not just stated once, but enshrined in the Quran
{of this Allah’s bunglings}; and repeated and reconfirmed in Sura 13:39
and further enshrined in 16:101, to wipe out any doubts in the Quran of this bungling
Allah. It is as though Muhammad purposely wanted Muslims not to miss out in
this bungling Allah’s ways. Perhaps, it was too much for Muhammad, every
time Allah cancelled his revelations and improved on others – It must have
driven Muhammad round the bend, I suppose. If ‘Allah is able to do all things’;
canceling and improving revelations do not say very much of this Allah, does it?
What kind of a supposed God (Allah) makes mistakes, cancellations (abrogation),
improvements, and replacements of his own works, not any better than ordinary
humans, isn’t he? So, isn’t this Allah a fake? Why weren’t
Allah’s initial verses any good or the best, the first time round? Couldn’t
this Allah get anything right the first time, instead of bungling his way around?
You readers, could ask any Muslim about this, and see how they wiggle out
of it. Because the Quran is corrupted, the Muslims accuse other scriptures of
being corrupted – to attack is the best means of defense. So, doesn’t
the Quran itself, admit/confirm it is corrupted; many times over? [Please go to the continuation of this article in ‘Is the Quran Holy’ – part 2’] Dear Readers; please E-mail this article to as many people as you know. Thank you. For information or comments, write to Feedback@IslamReview.com |
